Elmer's World! Le monde d'Elmer!『エルマーの世界！』

On our way home traversing EDSA just near Quezon Avenue, a jaywalking guy was hit by a motorcycle on the left side of our vehicle.  Inside the car, my father said "Patay yan! [He'll be dead!]"  Luckily, we had our windows close to protect us from flying articles of incident.  It was like watching Mission Impossible in real time -- I felt it was a slow motion picture and was sure that the jaywalking guy will be hit. The jaywalking guy was hit as a bowling pin, while the motorcycle guy flew on the side.  Having enough energy, the jaywalking guy continued to play patintero with the passing buses.  If he did not get up immediately, maybe he will be double whammed.  We don't know what happened after. After that, we reached Commonwealth Avenue.  Another highway where people just springing out of nowhere crossing the street and be hit by vehicles. Foot bridges have been provided to secure one's life, why can't this kind of  people just stop playing...

I was doing my daily stumble, and saw this interesting article about Panda's poop. via japanprobe.com It may smell ocha (green tea) but I won't take a lick on it. :P Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

It has been a while since I posted a blog here.  I should be preparing my things right now, but still feeling lazy like my today's stumble. A cat was so lazy that it was used as mop instead.  I have a friend who also have many big cats, I wonder if she uses them also as mop. ;P via japanprobe.com Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

I was doing my nightly stumble and saw this really creative machine.  Japan is a place of vending machines.  The normal vending machines only contain drinks, but a hamburger is really interesting. via japanprobe.com Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

After 3 months, meeting with the Berks was a success once again because we are complete. We celebrated Rex's birthday. See the full gallery on posterous Posted via email from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

Do you remember the comedians interviewing some people then suddenly got shot?  Here is a new prank played on an actress. They went to a place where Kappa is seen. The prank is only the actress can see and hear the Kappa. I was laughing so hard, but somehow felt bad for making her really scared. See how she handled it. via japanprobe.com Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

Last October 22, Microsoft released Windows 7.  It has many new functions like the multi-touch function.  I have saw this function been demo in other videos out there. But in Japan, Windows 7 failed on a television demo. I started laughing, when the man started saying "kouyatte ...nandedaro"  while touching the touch-panel LCD.  And I burst out when the LCD continued not to react and asked helped. "Onesan sumimasen".  One of the anchor also commented an instance where the Windows 7 failed them before on a television demo too. via japanprobe.com So, in case I would be getting a Windows 7, maybe I should invest for a touch-panel LCD.

It is nice to have a good dinner with the people you work with. This is our Sayonara Party for Jacy and Welcome Party for us the newbies. The newbies have shared their thank yous and wishes for the company. While I practiced my enhanced Nihongo skills, this was my speech: 「みんなさん、どうもありがとうございました。よろしくお願いします。」 I wanted to say more, but I was out of words. :P See the full gallery on posterous Posted via email from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

Looks like the films I would like to watch is piling up again. This is also a new Japanese film that I want to watch.  Kaiji: Jinsei Gyakuten Game. The story is about a guy who needs to clear the debt of his friend.  He is Kaiji.  But without a way of getting hold of a large amount of money, he was given a choice to gamble not only to raise a money but also to earn for himself.  It is a survival game.

Life After The B.O.E is a nice site for editorial comics about JET Programme. I was thinking about the comic below.  "Will I be also doing the things that I might only do in Japan after living there for more than a year continuously?" via http://lifeaftertheboe.com/ Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

This a good prank.  Aki Yakishiro transforms to play as a foreign judge together with Shin Koda.  Assuming that Aki was a foreigner, he didn't know that she was very good in singing enka and speaking nihongo.  I was laughing hard at the video where she went to Harajuku.  And some believe in her transformation to be very beautiful.  And the stunned face of Shin Koda rocks. via japanprobe,.com Clip #1 Clip #2 Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

Another great ponyo music video by hand. via japanprobe.com Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

I liked the First Love song before.  This song has been used before in a teleserye in the Philippines, I just can't remember the title. This is an original song of Utada Hikaru.  Ken Hirai sung his version.  via japanator.com Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

A friend is back in UPLB to teach. Ganbatte ne! Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

There was a comedy show in Japan, that tricked some comedians. In the skit, they interview some people and suddenly they are gunned down. It may seem funny, but not as an ordinary fun. What do you think? via japanprobe.com Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

Here is one of my favorite songs in the afternoon, to keep my beat. Body Language Jesse McCartney featuring T-Pain Ooo, that body's like music to my ear Ooo, that body's like music to my ear Ooo, that body's like music to my ear 'Cause what you want is right here Oh she, oh she so international The way, the way she get it on the floor I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to holler at you I want to get to know you better Parlez vous francais? Konichiwa Come and move in my way Hey, little chica from Guadeloupe That thing you got behind you is amazing Now, I don't speak Spanish, Japanese or French But the way that body's talkin' definitely makes sense It's her, her body, her body, her body language It's her, her body, her body, her body language The way she moves around When she grinds to the beat Breaking it down articulately It's her, her body, her body, her body language It's her, her body, her body, her body That make me want ...

via bionicbong.com Now that is an interesting movie to watch. I will check it out when I am in Japan by December. Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

via youtube.com My stumble for the day. I remember this song where Kimura danced to the Gats[u] Song. But I think the Trooper version is much better! Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

via japanprobe.com I think I should go to Finland to have my haircut. The Japanese guy who had his haircut in the Philippines made him like a Filipino too. I used to have that kind of haircut. :P Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

The last good Shinobi film I watched before was "Shinobi: Blade Under Heart" . Kamui Gaiden is a new Shinobi film.  This film is based on a manga "The Legend of Kamui" .  The film was released last September 2009. I want to watch this movie.  I wonder if it is still on the cinemas in Japan.  Maybe I will be just buying a DVD again.

I remember what our director told us yesterday. "Please bring your passports next week", she said. Maybe this is the sign we have been waiting. :P I have so many dreams, one is to have my own restaurant. Hopefully with my job, I can save money for capital.

It's a good a feeling to see how people learn with the help of others. It's like the new seedlings trying to live with the help of man (e.g. watering, etc.). Problems can not be solved in an instant, solutions are learned step-by-step. As you learn more, you become an expert. :P This day was also a fun day. I had a nice chat with Kat and Em on our way home. See the full gallery on posterous Posted via email from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

I was not really in the genki-state. So I just try to speak or talk when needed. When lunchtime came, I said to my lunchmates as we enter the elevator, "Doko e taberun desu ka?". Our Sensei was with us during that time. Then suddenly he spoke up, "Doko DE taberun desu ka?" Everyone was laughing and I just corrected my statement. After that I tried not speak in Nihongo for a while. After lunchtime, Em asked me, "Genki desu ka?". I answered "Genki ja nai. Demo daijoubu." Then I became genki for the a while. :P This was also the day Em celebrated her birthday. Mostly people in the office were teasing her to treat everyone for a snack. And she did. Thank you for the ice creams. Posted via email from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

via pinktentacle.com I want to see and feel the Nissan Qazana. Hopefully I can attend the Tokyo Motor Show. :P Posted via web from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

I thought I will have nothing to post for tonight. Luckily something different happened this afternoon. We doing our daily technical tasks in the office, when suddenly a power interruption happened. Was it a black out? No. The other office did not encounter any interruptions. The UPS are starting to act crazy, doing their BOOM BOOM AW sounds. The place was getting hotter because the air conditioner was also out. This is the fan I used to make myself comfortable. What is happening? I remember the ghost story and thought it was like a scene from a movie (Maybe Patient X. :P) After a while, the real problem was found. There was an overloading which resulted to malfunctioning of the electricity. Going back, I remember no one had plugged-in any devices. Now I wonder more.

As day passes, I am running out of subject to take a picture of. :p Today, our suggested change in schedule was realized. We will help in the morning, and continue with our ongoing tasks in the afternoon. We saw our friends in Jollibee, so we decided to take our lunch at McDonald's. I had double Cheeseburger and a spaghetti. This afternoon, we were reminded to keep our body healthy. And then I remembered the muscle man in the burger's box. Am I eating healthy or blinded by the cheese? Posted via email from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

We had our lunch at our favorite Chicken Fast-food Restaurant. I always buy a *something* bowl and a salad. Today's salad was not enjoyable, because I saw this tomato. I wonder if it is not fresh or not nicely cut. Today was also the day I together with Karlo started helping another project. Hopefully we can be the help they need. Still counting up.

The old aquarium has been alive again with these simple fishes and kangkong. Today, I and my youngest sister, saw our other sister on "the Buzz" show. She was there for their Advertising class. We were laughing out loud. Tonight is also the opening of the "Pinoy Big Brother Double Up". What shall we expect with this new show? Posted via email from Elmer's World!「エルマー の 世界！」

This morning, it seems Pepeng has already changed track. For breakfast, I have cracked an egg. Not satisfied with just a plain egg and salt, I cooked a soup. Adding the bread and rice, now my breakfast is complete. Since, it seems there is no longer rain, we ordered pizza for dinner. To be different, my sister ordered a sausage stuffed pizza.
