パーティーに行きました

here i am again writing to you about what happened last night. our company invited some prospective clients around fukuoka prefecture to hear about hiring Filipino IT engineers. they discussed about the scarcity of experienced IT engineers in the island since most of the IT graduates of Japan will go to Tokyo where the big companies are. though most of the talk are in japanese and some of the words of what they are talking about, i don't understand, still i understood the gist of what they are saying.they need IT engineers to compete globally... =) during the party the five of us Filipino IT engineers will move from one table to another to talk to a client. as for me, i can communicate most of the time but there are times that the words i don't understand so i'll just smile or ask what that mean. hehehe.. it's frustrating not knowing how to express oneself in a different language. hopefully by 6months time i can express my thoughts more freely...at the end of the party, they said it was a success. i'm glad. at least it will be an oppurtunity for other engineers to come to japan and work.

food!!! i was famished. during the party, i just drank some beer and juice and few bites of the menu they offer.i thought that was it since here in japan especially in hotel, there is a time limit and the leftover foods cannot be brought back. too bad... but our president brought us to the restaurant where they offer eat all you can buffet. it was heaven. hehehe... plenty of desserts and main dishes. it was fun. i had a great time talking to my superiors about anything and everthing.i even found out that our japanese teacher, who is also our close friend, will come to fukuoka to visit us next month. i'm so excited to see her again. i can't wait!!! so many happenings next month. a japanese friend of juliet from osaka will be visiting us too. then sensei from philippines. so nice!!! =)

though a lot of japanese always ask us if are we already accustomed to japanese way of life. or how is our life in japan. we always say that yes we are doing fine. it is enjoyable living here. it's the truth. eventhough there are times that i am homesick of my family but just thinking of them makes me more determined to do my best here. i can always talk to them in the phone and inquire how they are doing. just taking one day at a time makes it more bearable. having friends and just having fun makes living here interesting and fun... =)
