first weekend

its a sunday and it is our first weekend here at the hotel...we were suppose to have a sleepover at one NEC people here n japan, but we decided not to..we do not know well the group we're going to stay with and we wanted to sleep longer on sunday...planned activity was to just explore the area near our hotel...we had a small map we got from the lobby and there were some shopping mall that we can visit...

edric and i decided to meet after lunch...we still have some foods and we wanted to sleep longer.....i woke up at around 9am...i planned on doing some laundry but decided to do it at night so i could wash the clothes i am going to wear dat day...dat has been my mentality..eheh..nyways, i turned on my laptop as i was about to have my breakfast..i checked on some mails..went online and met jaspher on the net...twas near lunch time when we come up wid d idea dat we're going to Akihabara(a place where most electronic devices are sold), we wanted to meet with him too at the same time...then we decided not to coz the place is far from our area and we're not yet dat good at riding trains...

past 1pm, edric and i decided to go out and check the place...our first stop is the Mikasa shopping plaza..the mall is jst near the train station...with the map, we went to the Mikasa shopping plaza...the place is not a really a mall but some sort of area with lots and lots of stores....they have cellphone shops, botique, grocery, the 100yen shop..and jst near Mikasa, is the Daie shoppers plaza...this time, its a big mall...they have this video shop with lots and lots of animes, and series for rent...the mall is nice..got to see lots of stuffs to buy..eheh..some were expensive and some were quite ok....from Daie shopping plaza, we decided to stroll around the area...i wanted to check out the park that can be seen on the map...it was not hard to locate the place...the park is just simple..nothing extraordinary or what...so we jst walked around the area...we were thirsty so we decided to stop by one convenient store...the store we went in happens to sell stuffs that can be found in the philippines..there's chippy and some noodles...i seldom see chips or junk foods in the stores that's why i really noticed the chippy being sold there...ehehe..we bought rice crackers and bottled tea...along the way, we've seen another mall, that was not in the map...we went inside and the place is complete too...from department stores, to grocery...inside the dept store, we decided to buy some pasalubong since we do not know when we will have time to go back to the place...the schedule is quite full for us...i bought toys for my niece, and some chopsticks and a small pillow for my sisters and friends...

we went to their grocery...i was hoping i could buy some foods for dinner there...then there's this bakery that sells pizza...we tried their pizza that has corn and potato as the toppings...bought some bread and some noodles...and if we will not be able to go to the shop that NEC people are buying chocolates, we decided to jst buy it on that mall..

tired from walking, we went back to the hotel...i decided to do my laundry so it will not pile up....it was quite early and i knw got nothing to do at my room except surf the net, well, no one to chat to on a sunday..tsk tsk...

i went down, inquired at the front desk where the laundry area is and get my clothes at the room and start my laundry...that was my first time to use the coin operated washing machine and dryer...the set up was, above the washer is the dryer..and the cover of the washer was lifted up covering the slot for coins...so what i did was, put all my clothes at the washer, pour some soap, and inserted coins...i mistakenly inserted the coins to the dryer slot...and i was so lost and i cannot understand why the washer is not starting yet...and why there is another noise...it turned out that i turned on the dryer...ehehe..and the washer is not turned on yet...finally i was able to see where the slot for the washer is and was able to start my laundry...

my room is in 3rd floor and so instead of going upstair while waiting for the 30 minutes washing to finish, i decided to jst wait at the lobby and surf....finally, i was able to finish washing and drying up my clothes...was also able to iron them and finally went to sleep...ehehe..

the sunday was quite good...its my 3rd day here and i am coping up well..i hope id be able to for the rest of the trip...well, got to sleep early...i should wake up early tom...
