Saturday morning had me waking up like it was a regular working day. (Not that I'm complaining).

One of our companies was sponsoring a Nihongo Teachers' Forum, in cooperation with the Japan Foundation (Manila), and I was asked to go to the forum to do a little photo coverage.

I arrived at the RCBC Tower in Makati around 8.30AM, and proceeded to the venue. As soon as I reached the venue, I felt like I was not in the Philippines anymore, not because of the physical surroundings, but because people (Japanese and Pinoys) were greeting each other "Ohayo gozaimasu! Ogenki desu ka." It's a good thing my companions weren't Nihongo speakers as well, otherwise I would have felt really stupid. Hehe!

It's also a good thing I only had to stay for the morning session, because as much as the topics were really interesting, 85% of all the presentations were in Nihongo. That gave me quite a headache. Hehe!

I was planning to take up a crash course on Nihongo at our company's training center. I even marked the date of the deadline for enrollment. Of course, when I checked my calendar again, classes have already begun! Auuuggghhh!

I'm really interested to learn Nihongo. I don't know. I want to work in Japan. I want to learn more about their culture (thanks to movies like The Last Samurai and Memoirs of a Geisha, and thanks to Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami, among others...hehe!). I want to visit the cities.

Alrightey, starting to babble so I should just bai bai!
