brunei - kansai - kantou - brasil

okay okay.. since no one is updating.. i will...


Brunei - Kansai Arc

after i got back to Japan, I officially had 5-6 days before i left for brasil again... my plane landed in Kansai international airport... yes, I did not go back to Tokyo, instead i went to Osaka.. more effectively, Kobe. There, i stayed with my senior, Najee (much love for her!!!) and there i got to spill all my tsukuba gossip and bond.. Back to my main topic.. why on earth did i go to kansai instead of kantou you ask? eheheh purely otaku-reasons my friends... i went to Kansai because i wanted to go to Universal Studios Japan again... because it was summer.. and this year's summer One Piece (yeah.. the anime...) has a special event in either kamakura (kantou) and USJ(kansai).. here i thought to myself... why not go to Kansai, visit USJ, Najee and semba ka-re one more time? so yeah.. KANSAI LOVE!!! but to my disappointment, the USJ event was not the one i wanted to see, should have returned to Kantou.. oh well.. it doesnt matter... i got to see Najee! and eat semba ka-re...

i got back to Kantou(sunday).. and i have 3 days before i leave for BRASIL.. and heres my dilemma... i havent got my visa done yet... why did i not get it done before? because my tickets only arrived when i was in brunei, and to get the visa, i need the tickets in hand... and then i was thinking of doing it in brunei.. ohh.. wait.. brunei doesnt have a brasilian embassy.. FUCK... right so, i could only do it in Japan, why didnt i do it in Osaka? because there wasnt any in Osaka... the Brasilian Consulate was located only in Tokyo and Nagoya.. and because i live in Tsukuba, I have to go to the Tokyo office (visa application only on mon and weds from 8am-2pm).. i left for the office on monday, explained my situation to the officers, they understood my drama and told me to collect my visa before i fly off to brasil (weds)... (it was really a close call) thank god my flight was 3pm... so yeah.. everything was SOOOOOO last minute.. and while waiting for the queue in the consulate, i was watching a brasilian drama playing on tv... HOT DAMN.. it was a true preview to brasil and their men to me... shit man.. i swear, they dont have to worry about props and sets to make a drama.. most of the scenes are carried out in the bedroom... all those love scenes..(not explicit... just teasing i suppose... kissing on the bed.. and then stripping off clothes to their sexy underwear and then getting under the blanket scenes mostly..) GOD DAMN~! is that all you guys do there?!!?!? i love brasil... HAHAHA


that day i decided to go back, pack and leave.. will bunk over at louise's tuesday night (brasilian friend-chiba university) because its summer and my dorm has no air-conditioning.. WORST EXPERIENCE ever!! and then! to my horror! i discovered that i couldnt leave until wednesday morning(the day i leave for brasil)... why? because i had to sign in the office for my scholarship.. if not i would be BROKE for good! the office wasnt open on both Mon and Tues because it was a public holiday in Japan.. SUCKS ASS!!! so tuesday.. i was stuck in my "sauna" room and susan (new zealand-hitotsubashi university) insisted that she come and bunk... wanted to spend time with me before i leave.. i was like.. are you sure? my room is FUCKING HOT.. i dont have air-conditioning.. and yeah theres nothing to do in tsukuba... shes like sure why not? so she came over.. stayed over my place and boy did she suffer.. we ended up drinking and watching two movies on my computer..sweating all the way.. to ease the pain, we filled to buckets of water and put our feet in... so yeah.... it was funny...

Kantou - Brasil Arc


so tuesday went, and wednesday came.. i rushed over to the office to sign and then cleaned up my shit room and attempted to leave for Tokyo.. before leaving my room even, my luggage handle decided to go bust.. im like FUCK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sigh.. im getting all excited from all this re-living this drama... eitherways back to the story


so Susan and I half carried half pushed the broken luggage down 4 floors of my dorm...(no lift/escalator)... and then we decided to split up.. she takes my lugagge to Narita airport, whilst Louise and I go to Consulate to get my visa... after going to the consulate, we had to rush to her place..(Chiba uni) to get HER luggages.. the time now was 12pm.. 3 hours (flight was at 3 45pm)before we officially need to board the plane... it takes time to get to Chiba... fortunately for us Chiba wasnt too far from the airport.. or so we thought.. meanwhile, susan and siti(indonesian - chiba uni)were already waiting for us in Narita airport... right.. we got Louise's luggages.. we got back to the train station.. it was already 215pm.. and we were stuck in Chiba.. the next train comes in 15 minutes!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!! louise and i start panicking! what if we miss the plane!?!? what if we never get to brasil!?!??!


Silently we prayed that there was a delay...


we got on to the train, Narita Airport was 30mins away.. basically.. we got to the airport at 315pm... rushed to the gates, rushed to the check in counter.. where there were people waiting for people like us who almost did not make it.. so that they could take our seats.. there we were.. sweating from the heat and from all the running... and siti and susan.. waiting for us.. shaking their heads vehemently screaming you guys are CRAZY!! holding our lunches... (subways) we hadnt anything to eat throughout the whole drama.. when we passed through the metal detector thingy... louise got a bit detained because.. she was holding the subway sandwiches.. and the officer was asking her are there any liquids in the sandwich? any sauce? and we're like.. WE HAVE TO BE ON THE PLANE NOW!! let us goooo!!! no the sandwich doesnt have any sauce (lie) HAHAHAHA..


we were the last ones to board the plane... drama drama drama.. but hey.. we made it... and now i'll live to tell the story to my kids.. HAHAHAHA
