You know it's been hot in Tokyo when you see the weather report and your first thought is, "Oh good, it's only gonna be 34C today!"
Japan has to be home of the most useless point cards in the world. At this cafe, you get a stamp after spending ¥500. After collecting 10 stamps, you get a whopping ¥50 discount! I dont know why I bother.
The dilemma for the day: Debating if I should wake up for the 4am USA men's WC game tomorrow. Hmmmmmmm....
Hanging up some Halloween decorations. Something doesn't seem quite right with this Disney decoration😁 #100YenStoreQuality
Nothing tests my willpower/restraint more than going to Costo Japan on a budget. But I did reward myself by getting 2 slices of Hawaiian pizza.
It's so hard to concentrate on coding/studying on such a tragic day like today. It's all so senseless. RIP Mr. Shinzo Abe.
I've been here for over 20 years and I always get おみまい(hospital visit) and おみあい(marriage matchmaking) mixed up. The looks I get at the hospital when I use the wrong word! Whoops!
What? Setsubun isn't a Japanese national holiday? I was soooo looking forward to having a 4-day week. Who do I need to talk to to make it a national holiday?
Took this from my baby daughter. Is this the next step to make me a kick-ass programmer or just a bad father? Hope she forgives me! #rubberDuckDebugging
I picked the perfect year to give up sending out New Years Cards (to all of 10 people). Because coincidentally or not, none of them sent me a card this year either!
Such a great feeling when I can finally merge a PR that I've worked on for weeks! I only wish that when you finally hit the "merge" button, kick-ass, mission accomplished music would play.
Working in an all-Japanese speaking company is super tough. But today, my co-worker tried to help me out a little. He said he had 「げり」 And I guess he thought I didn't know what that meant, so he translated it as "water poo". That's a great definition, I thought!
Working in a 100% Japanese-speaking company is totally draining me, but it's sure been an experience. And not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but seems like my Japanese has improved much faster than my Java skills😆
After over 2 months of only writing documentation for my company, we're finally entering the development phase. Will finally start writing some Java today! I'm super excited, but super nervous!
It's such a weird time we live in now. I actually look forward to dentist and doctor appointments now because it's the only time I ever leave the house.
What the heck is this "Pictogram" thing? So weird. I was hoping for Taiko and Shinjuku Robot Restaurant kinda entertainment.
Wow, I need to study world geography again. I sadly haven't heard about 90% of these countries.
Got my first Covid shot today, so celebrated by eating lunch at the only authentic Hawaiian place in Tokyo! #OgosHawaiian
I did my first couple of algorithm problems in Java tonight! The first thing I need to do is stop thinking, "this would be so much easier in Javascript because I can do this or that" and just start focusing on how to do it in Java instead. #Java #javascript #algorithms
