Seriosly, I've been buried with tons of work and I've spent the last 2 weekends hanging out with a japanese friend we met in Japan that came to my country. She was staying at my bigger sister apartment and my nephew was in charge of showing her the city and nearby places the weekdays.
She left on the 2nd and I've caught a cold on the 7th so I couldn't go to work (I've asked for a sick leave). The bad part is that they don't actually pay it if it lasts less than 11 days and the doctor issued it for only 3 days. Tomorrow is my last sick leave day and I should go to work on Friday.
I guess the termperature change between cities and the air conditioning in the bus and subway made me fall ill.
On weekdays I barely have time for myself since I've to wake up at 6 AM and return home about 10 PM from work.
Thanks for your concern!
Chibi Mio hugs!
Wish I could have a Mio nurse

sup keions!
took day off on b'day with absolutely no plans >_<
ended up waking up 30 minutes earlier than usual too
Congrats!
Glad you can rest a little. Only very good companies here in Chile give you a paid day off on your birthday (Not my case).
In the other hand, I had to take 3 days unpaid sick leave because the health insurance companies here don't pay unless you take 11 or more days. Weird, isn't it? (IIRC if you take between 7 and 10 days they pay you the half)
The only positive thing is that today's friday.
Also, I'm starting Japanese Classes tomorrow. It's a 4 year course in which I should finish with N3 Japanese level.
All of this is on topic since this is a slice of life OT as K-ON

What kind of stuff will you apply your Japanese knowledge on when you learn more?
Hmm, I never really had a concrete reason to learn Japanese. I can't help it but here's a long story (sort of):
In 2007-08 I wanted to learn another language - I don't exactly know why but I speculate that I always admired people who could speak multiple languages, broke borders of 'race' or 'countries'; to add to this, I live in a country with 100s of languages and cultures, there's always a sense of division in the people's minds if someone's from another race/subculture. I didn't like that and/or I wanted to know more about other people but language tends to be a barrier.
So I picked German. I bought some learning CD which didn't help me out much, eventually got demotivated.
About a year later I started watching Bleach anime after a friend insisted. I saw the first 60 or so episodes with English audio and later my friend lent me 100 or so episodes of it, saving me from the trouble of downloading or streaming them in my abysmal internet connection (this was in 2009). Problem was that it was entirely in Japanese audio and English subtitles, I figured it's alright because it would at least save me from a lot of bandwidth issues, plus it was holidays from school(12th grade)
. As I chugged through 10 or so episodes of it, I realized I could just get a lot of listening practice of this language and have fun watching more anime making effective use of my time and bam! (however I had made up my mind that I won't go about starting another language until I finish/come close to finishing this).
It's funny that they put a mosaic on the 5th image on the girl's face but on the first they didn't. (Maybe because those are images from different sources)
Not the same person I suppose.
Maybe. At least they have a different hairstyle

I too am 34. I may or may not be older.
Happy Birthday blurt!
I'm glad that animu and vocaloids don't know age. I've seen geezers go to vocaloid concerts, specially in the 2014 Magical Mirai in Osaka (daytime performance)

RE: Foreign languages, I judge foreign languages based on how useful they are in my own life.
I live in Florida where a ton of people speak Spanish, hence why I'm learning Spanish.

thanks and it's blurr btw
thank you!

I already know Hindi, my own Mother tongue and English - three of the most spoken languages here. It didn't make sense to learn an Indian one unless I'm moving somewhere where they speak it and in terms of my career in general so I chose a foreign one. I figured a foreign language has more potential in career possibilities.
