the continuation

this is going to be a pictureless blog.. while i try to work on my thesis.. damn.. I'm supposed to write about bullying いじめ well i can't really say "supposed" because i chose it.. but yeah.. damn.. this is so bothersome

right.. after disney land.. we went to STUDIO GIBLIS MUSEUM in Mitaka Tokyo.


can you say TOTORO?

this is the fake ticket booth by the way.. heh.. totoro waits for you and your ticket?


It was a Wednesday, the same routine of me waking early to check the downloads, go online.. watch some anime.. while the rest of the girls.. carry on sleeping.. how do they do that? I for one can't sleep that much..

by the time we were ready to leave, it was like 2.30? heh.. no problem i guess... WRONG.. we didnt know what time the place closes at.. where the place was.. hell we didnt have tickets... the website says.. purchase tickets from your nearest LAWSON convienience store.. okay.. no problem... and since we STUDIO GIBLI is in Mitaka district? we thought: simple just take any train to Mitaka train station lor.. so simple.. hahahah

so we took the normal train to the Mitaka station... went out.. straightaway see LAWSON.. good... can buy tickets... bought tickets.. found out that the last entrance time to the musuem was 4.30pm .. the time was 3.45pm... no problem.. we are already in Mitaka what.. lol.. sekali... WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? where are we? isnt the museum supposed to be like 20 mins walk away from the train station? it turns out that we technically got off at MITAKA STATION.. of a different train company... we needed to get off at MITAKA JR STATION.. well.. that went well..

so got back to the train station made sure we were on track again.. reached the CORRECT train station.. what time 4.20pm.. HOLY !#$%'($"!!! it was 1500m away from the station.. we had 10 minutes.. we hadnt had breakfast or lunch.. life is great.. we stopped by to buy onigiri and water for a bit.. while my friend checked on the map.. the way to go to the musuem.. while i was standing looking for tuna mayoooo~ onigiri.. she screamed.. "OIII we dont have time for this.." but i want to buy the onigiri.. we got that. DASHED all the way to the musuem... thank god for road signs... they were very nice.. pretty looking road signs.. constantly reminding you... 900m to GIBLI musuem 850m to GIBLI musuem..600m to GIBLI musuem... so we ate and ran at the same time.. it felt like marathon.. or the AMAZING RACE.. we barely made it!!!! the security guard was about to close the gate.. but he let us in.. it was pretty and WORTH it.. small but nice.. hell even the toilets were pretty...

huffing and puffing sweat and all.. hahah

now if only i had the pictures to show y'all..

managed to squeeze two pictures in..

Laputa in the Sky

pretty toilet


after the musuem we met the Malaysian senpais.. they treated us out for dinner.. we went back to their dorms.. met up with more senpais.. had a 飲み会 drinking party.. went back to our dorms at 1am... walked all the way from Tokyo University dorm to Tokyo University of Foreign Studies dorm.. took an hour..


what were we supposed to do again tomorrow? go to NAGANO prefecture... to spend christmas there.. lol

The bullying of academics follows a pattern of horrendous, Orwellian elimination rituals, often hidden from the public. Despite the anti-bullying policies (often token), bullying is rife across campuses, and the victims (targets) often pay a heavy price. "Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence." Leonardo da Vinci - "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men [or good women] do nothing." Winston Churchill.
