When it rains, it really pours...

I am getting translation jobs left and right and so the next days will be hectic. I reckon 4 hour of sleep per day and it will be a while until the next post. See you next week and wish me luck with my deadlines.

Gambaru zou!

Not Too Busy to Shop

It has been awhile as I have been very busy. The deadline for the midterm grades is tomorrow so I have been concentrating on checking papers and grading my students. I only have one more set of exams to check and that is a relief. :D

I also have my translation career to allot my time to. I just got a document to be translated from Japanese to English. There is no problem with beating the deadline as it is on Tuesday yet. I am also grateful that the client has given me a glossary of words to be used for the translation, which helps a lot in saving time to research for the proper terminology to use.

On the shopping front, I got me these gorgeous 4 inch-heel red and beige sandals. "Killer heels" they are. Haha.

I had my schedule worked out to be able to go to Bangkok. My boss also gave his permission for me to go. I sent the title of my talk to Prof. M. two days ago.

So, I guess I will be going to Bangkok... :D

Bangkok, very hot...

I just received an e-mail from Prof. MU of my institute in Tokyo regarding an invitation for me to talk in an international conference from March 10 - 14 in Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. Its not even an invitation anymore since as seen from the conference schedule, my name has already been added to the list of speakers for the "Hot Topics of Pollution of Hazardous Chemicals in the Asian Regions". The conference is sponsored by the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), so there is no problem with money. I just have to show up and do my thing, wow them all. HAHA.

However, this is way out of my schedule and classes in my school ends March 23, 2003, yet. This would mean make-up classes for the week I will be away from class. Oh well, I am already used to this kind of life. And, I so need to go to Bangkok. :D

Black Ferragamo Bag

Well, I had to shop.

The last time I shopped was in Tokyo about 3 weeks ago. I got myself these very comfortable walking shoes in black, 4 Japanese mangas, 2 Japanese fiction books, and Japanese fashion magazines.

So forgive me if I got myself my regular supply of Dior skin care products (I had to replenish them!) and this classic, beautiful black Ferragamo bag (They were on sale!) at Rustan's.



Nice, no?
