osaka!

i'm here. again!

we were supposed to go around kyoto for two days (that was the original plan when we were discussing with nori-san), but BS voiced that brilliant idea that we go to osaka on one of the days. it was much closer to kyoto (only 30+ mins) compared to suzuka (3 hours for bus + train). and the travelling cost was waaaay cheaper.

so we finished everything in one day, but didn't get to go to kiyomizu-dera sbb x sempat. while visiting the places, we ran after the bus, took pictures, got lost, took picture, ate our ongiri by the roadside for lunch, took pictures, followed some high school kids on bicycle as we didn't know the way, and took more pictures. ahaha.

so the next day we took the morning train to osaka. coincidentally p.ai. was also near kyoto, so we arranged to take the train from kyoto to osaka with him. thank God he was there to guide us around, as the subways were very complicated! (for us who did not do any research on osaka).

we did invite the other girls to come along, but apparently only me and CM was interested to go, and the rest  were all the guys. it would have been different with the girls around, but we still had loads of fun!

oh btw, there are many many many more coolER pics on TE's camera, but he still haven't uploaded them. and it will take ages for me to filter them. TOO mAny! for going around kyoto, we had about 700+ pics in a day (only for the 4 of us, 3 after BD resigned). but of course half of it would be redundant. i have no idea how many in total did we have for osaka. for a total of 9 of us. huho.

not osaka. view from the top of tenryuji temple in arayashima, kyoto.

the leaves were turning yellow. had it been red (which would be around mid to late nov), it would have been perfect.

graph reflecting my emotions (at least what i think it was)

we had a mid-term sharing session with t0-san just this afternoon. my, what a good session it was. i was getting pretty down due to the stress from CED (which is only 8 days away btw, and we still haven't prepared that well yet), and also the non-stop activities/stuff that we had to finish since we got back from kyoto. 

so anyways, it really did bring up my spirits, gave me a lot of motivation to continue on and try my best during the remaining time i am here. but unfortunately, there were also things that gave more reasons and points for cm and bd to tease me. sigh~ that, for one, i still don't know how to deal with it. huhuhuhu. *wants to faint a 100 times*

whatever the case is, i'd still just focus on what i want. we came up with "revised" objectives, and mine were:

- patience! - in giving others the opportunity to speak up.

- take it easy - don't be too stressed out! others are there to help me out.

- listen to others more - in their ideas and opinion.

that's really all for now ^__^
