Day 1187 { Unstoppable }
Sunday, June 19, 2011
Stayed in for most of the day. Watched a movie name "Unstoppable", starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine ( from Star Trek 2009 ). The movie was ok. It had some exciting parts in it, but some of the acting, even from Chris Pine, I think wasn't so good. Even though the movie was based on real events, you could kind of figure out the outcome at the end.
I give it a 6.5/10

Day 1188 { Marriage }
Monday, June 20, 2011
Today a friend of mine told me that he has been having some trouble with his wife. Every time, I hear stories like these, I cringe at the thought of getting married. I know I want to, but not quite yet. I can imagine that the good times are good but also that the bad times are terrible. I have one set of married friends (chiefly girls) who ask me what I am waiting on etc etc, and how it is wonderful being married and what not. I surprisingly don't hear this from the men, where one set says "Its ok" then the other set (actually most of them) saying "WAIT!!!" with a stern warning... And I am speaking about both Japanese and Jamaican men.

Day 1189 { Rip off Doctor ? }
Tuesday, June 21, 2011
Since Saturday morning, my left ear has been ringing. I was concerned so I went to the doctor that I went to the last time. I honestly thought this guy was an ENT specialist. Unfortunately, after waiting for over an hour to see the doctor, this man told me he is not an ENT specialist, so he simply took my blood pressure then he recommended an ENT specialist to me. He also said that he can prescribe the medication for me....So I went along with it. and paid a whopping 7000 yen for everything!!! Then I thought to myself, "why didn't he simply let me go to the ENT specialist"??? That was when I realized that I probably got Punked!!! So now, if these tablets don't work, then I am eventually going to have to end up going to the ENT specialist and pay another maybe 7000 yen AGAIN!!!!! Oh Japan Japan...

Day 1190 { Another English Supporter / Teachers pinned down man with knife }
Wednesday, June 22, 2011
English Supporter
Another English supporter came at my school today. She said she lived in Kenya for about 4 years and then Columbia for about 3 years. She basically spent most of her elementary school life in Kenya and Columbia. This is because her dad was an ambassador for Japan. However, she said he died while she was still in high school. Then her mom died shortly after, while she was attending university in the USA. She spent 6 years studying in Texas. Wow what a life.... She mentioned that even up to now, she still can't write some kanji characters properly.

Day 1191 { Noisy apartment}

Noisy Apartment
Got a slip of paper at my apartment door today saying they are going to cut off the water on the apartment complex in July. This is to run some sort of check on the water system. Then at the bottom of the paper written in pen they added that it has been reported to them (The company that owns the apartment complex) that someone on the third floor (where I am) has been disturbing the peace of sorts, at late nights.... It also says that if I suspect anyone, I should report it to them. The thing is that, everyone on the apartment complex got this note.
As far as I know, I probably play music sometimes (but not late nights) and also watch anime before I go to bed many times (but not loud as far as I know). Occasionally my friends come over, and we sort of speak a bit loud, but not until too late I think. That is about it. I sincerely hope it is not a "chase away the foreigner" plan.

Day 1192
{ They may not like me }
Friday, June 24, 2011
They may not like me, but who knows
So far, there are only 3 teachers that seem to either not like my teaching style or not like me. I could be misreading them though. It so happen that I have 3 schools and each school has 1 of them. It also so happens that the 3 of them are females over 40. The first one is at my main school, she hardly speaks to me, and she tend to want to take over the English class and do things her way. But I couldn't care less. The other 2 just watch me teach and don't say a word and occasionally ends the class 5-10 minutes early. That too I couldn't care less.

Day 1193 { Lazy Saturday }
Saturday, June 25, 2011
I was really lazy today, because this week was quite a bit tiring. So I stayed in all day, surfing the net, watching random music videos and just being lazy. I was even supposed to meet up with a friend but I cancelled.
