Dio is Leaving Japan

April 8, 2009 - Dio's decision to leave Japan shocked most of us because of it was so sudden. Even Mars knew little about it, he only knew less than a week before Dio's flight!
I was glad that eventhough it was sudden, we were still able to get together to talk. We even took "pirikura" pictures with him. The night before we accompanied him to the train station, I was exploring some files in my PC and I came across the video of a jam session we shot together with him playing the electric guitar. It felt nostalgic. Life goes on, friends come and go but they leave you with ageless memories to remember them by.

Kyoto Shigoto!

It was an exciting day for me. I was going to start working with Mars in Kyoto. I've always wanted to work with Mars, we have a long working history which goes all the way back to when we were still in NTSP(NEC Telecom Software Phils.). We were both System Administrators of the same development machine. The Kyoto office looked normal, despite the really old and ugly building. The carpet that lead to the office needed more than a year's worth of carpet shampoo and vacuum. Mars had been working there for around 3 years. I wonder what he thinks about the carpet. Maybe it wasn't as dirty as it currently is.The Financial Director introduced himself and explained the company rules. Later upon heading home, Mars and I discussed about who and who were the people in the office. And here is how we named them:

Darna(superwoman)

Ginoo(God):

Bruha(Bitch):

Sipsip(Kiss-ass):

Kuripot(spendthrift):

Tambolero(Drummer):

Bata(Boy):

Banggiitan(Cunning):

Dakog-Tingog(Loud-voice):

I do hope they don't get to read this blog or know how we named them. :P
