happy birthday, mae!

today is mae's birthday. i wanted to give her a cake. but, no budget. bus still, i wanted to give her something. so, i thought i should look for a mini-cake in a convenience store. unfortunately, no mini-cake at save-on, the nearest convenience store to the place where i bought my bus tickets to tokyo. speaking of the bus ticket first, i bought a round-trip ticket. i didn't reserve ahead of time because the schedule i chose was not really full. so, i just went there and told the lady i would go to ikebukuro from nagaoka kita on 2/22 5pm and back on 2/26 1pm. as i was putting my wallet and tickets in my backpack, she suddenly asked me where i'm from. i told her from the philippines. she asked if our language is really english. i told her filipino and english. english is taught since grade 1, or even kindergarten. she said it's taught in japan but is not practiced (well... i think that's what she was saying, nihongo kasi!). anyway, after i bid her thanks and farewell, i went to Save-on and ended up buying some choco roll. then hurriedly walked back, hoping i could still catch the 1021am bus. i walked fast, so there was still time to buy some bread, so i bought one for me and one for mae. i was still early for the bus, and luckily bondry (febri's hubby) passed me by. so, it was a free ride for me. :D thanks. earlier that day, mae went to gidai also in bondry's car with febri. turned out febri just took some forms from the school that she must submit to the rotary club (regarding her scholarship and leave from school due to pregnancy). and, bondry took her back home and helped some friends with something.

today is also wawang's first day at his part-time job. i hope it went well.

anyway, happy birthday, mae. hope u will have more birthdays to come... more blessings... :D
