TETSUYA'S WORLD

Manila, Philippines!

2006-05-10T07:09:00.000-07:00

It's been a long long long while since last update. Sorry about that. As you know I was sent to Manila, Philippines and am working with people from all over the world. I'm a busy company worker! hehehe. You know what? I got a English boss here. His English sounds absolutely different from what I learned in Vancouver..... He says, "Have you got a pen?" with strong accent, insted of saying, "Do you have a pen?"!!!! Pretty interesting, ey???

Anyway, I've been working HARD. I sometimes come back home very late. But, it's totally fine with me cz I'm enjoying using ENGLISH!!! and, there is no chance to use money... it means I can automatically save money!! I'll travel Europe (of course Switzerland) and go back to CANADA for sure!!!! Let's hang out and have a nice tea!!

hey guys, long time no see:)

i got a job in tokyo! congratulations!! thank you very much!!!

the company i work for manages electric money. i don't know about the money very well, though... i've heard it's getting popular in the world, at least in japan. what i do in office are all the thing related to english and etc..;i haven't known yet. anyway, the company has its relative comapnies in asia, england and canada. i've already spoken to some phillipines staff by international call. it was fun, i guess.

i'm moving from kobe to tokyo on wendnesday. i found a cozy apartment near my office. it takes just 10 min from home to office by bycicle. my boss and colleagues told me that it was nice to live! so, come to my plece! let me know when you come to tokyo!! i'll take somewhere interesting:D

me in a suit, but looks like a gangstar...

back to kobe

2006-02-28T17:41:00.000-08:00

hello guys,

i was in tokyo last week. as u know, i had some interviews and, fortunately, i got in a company. i don't know if i work for them or not. the company is really new and trys to be a leader who deals with electric money. it is considered that there are some advantages and disadvantages to work for a new company. i have to think about those advantages and disadvantages carefully. anyway, i sense i can get a job easier than i thought. I became stronger than i was one year ago. i'll let you know when i decide to get a suitable job for me.

osaka

2006-02-14T05:55:00.000-08:00

today i had an job interview in osaka. i had to wake up at 6:30 to get to a company. it had been a while since i got up this ealry. i was really sleepy, as u guys guess, hehehe. but, the vivid blue sky in the morning made me really fresh:) and, u know what?? i wore a suit!!! who wants to see me wearing a suit??? i'll give photos:D

after finishing the interview, i saw a black woman reading ?bible? on a train. hehehe, again!!! "hi, how are u? where are u from??" i think this phrase is getting familiar to me:) anyhow, she was from kenya and living downtown in oska. she was really really really frendly:D i talked with her for about an hour. the funny thing was that she didnt have japanese friends but only foreigners, even though she had been here for two years. i didn't understand what's wrong with her. anyway, we promised going to kyoto this weekend. hehehe, i have to make a plan!!

hahaha, making friends from foreign countries are super easy here!!! lets enjoy english together:D:D:D

P.S.
to whom it may concern,

this is not a lie to look myself better than i am.

faithfully,
tetsuya itoh

australian women

2006-02-02T04:15:00.000-08:00

yesterday i went to see friends from university. of course, it had been almost one year to see them. i was in canada!! anyways, when i met them i became happy because they hadn't changed anything:) we cooked japanese style stew, played playstation and then played mah-jong. it was exactly same things that i had done when i was in university. they were really familiar to me. i hadn't studied hard or gone to my cumpas. hahaha:D

on the way home home from my friend's place, i saw two white women on a train. AGAIN, i asked them "hi, how are you? where are you guys from??" hehehe. they were from australia and were living in kyoto. we promise meeting each other again and having a tea in kyoto!!!

i think i've become more friendly than i was. i've got over fear to speak to strangers!!

downtown

2006-01-29T17:31:00.000-08:00

yeterday i went to downtown in kobe to see my friend from university. it had been a long time since the last time i vivisted there.

on the way to downtown in my car, i was laughted by a sign on a public bus. the sign siad, "we'are sorry. out of service". i felt really funny because i'd never seen that kind of sign:) most japanese became to be sorry for everything while i was in canada. what a culture:)

anyway, after i met the friend we walk around downtown - some scenes had been changed and other had been remained. and then, we decided to go for a tea to take a rest. when we were looking for a cafe, i saw a white guy working at an outside-cafe. i'd been wanting to use english, so i asked him "how are you? where are you from?" hehehe, he was from france and friendly enough to talk to us during his break time and give us free special tea!! i enjoyed talking with him in english:)

speaking english is fun!

resume

2006-01-25T00:54:00.000-08:00

i'm writing a resume both in japanese and english. i'm surprised that it's not that hard. i have a lot of things to talk about. of course!!! because i spent 11 months in canada. i wish i could talk about everything i learned. anyway, who wants to see my resume?? i'm gonna show you if you are interested in it:)

japanese cells

2006-01-22T22:51:00.000-08:00

today i went to a mobile phone shop. i was surprised at japanese cells. they have much better quality than the one i had in canada. i'm not sure that i can manage the japanese cells. it was a cluture-shock hehehe. i think i'm gonna buy one next weekend. i'll upload some photos taken with the cell.

coming back to japan

2006-01-22T03:51:00.000-08:00

hehehe i'm gonna start my blog in english. enjoy!!!

anyway, i've already missed you guys and life in canada, even though i just spent only a day in japan. i'd been enjoying talking in english and time in vancouver, after i came back to my trip in america and got over fear to speak to foreignors. remembering days in canada, i really sense that i became strong and am not me before i was. i feel like i can do anything i want to do.

now, there is no chance to speak english here. however, i'll go on writing a blog in english. it will help me not forget english.
