Ano ba ang "Plastic" sa Japanese?

Minsan, natanong ko na rin to sa sarili ko. Ano nga ba yun?...

Example:

Nung dumating ako dito, sobrang excited ako. I want to meet many friends, so as much as possible, I keep on my mind all the things that would most likely open up a conversation, a lively one. So, when I do, parang ang naging dating sa kanila, immature. Yung laging nakangiti (smiling face ba lagi), ang dating sa kanila nun hindi ka seryoso sa mga ginagawa mo. Pati yung mga usual natin na ginagawa sa pinas, hindi katulad yun dito...from here, pumapasok yung term na "Tatemae".

Meron silang saying, na minsan natanong ko sa pinoy na sempai. "Honne to Tatemae ga chigau".. Ibig sabihin, mag-kaiba yung tunay na personality sa personality na ipinapakita. So, may mga time na meron tayong ka officemate na Haponesa, tapos parang ang sweet-sweet satin, it doesn't necessarily mean na gusto nila tayo. I'm also not saying na malabo mangyari yun, pero usually Tatemae yun. Sa mga Japanese kasi, napakaimportante ng Work life, kasi most of their life dito na napupunta, well depende pa rin sa Japanese to, kasi meron ako kilala na Japanese, super bait nya mas pinili nya na mag volunteer work, than to earn money here.


Anyway. back to the topic. Ayun, gusto kasi nila makapag work sila ng maayos, so para mangyari yun, dapat as much as possible wala ka kaaway sa work. Yun ang Tatemae, minsan hindi sila talaga umiinom ng alak, pero para magandang pakikisama, iinom sila. Parang ganito rin sa atin, although at some point, parang ka-plastican ito, di ba? Pero I think, for a good cause.

Tapos isa pa, example kunwari meron ka bagong hairdo, tapos pag nakita ka nila, sasabihin nila "Wow, ayos ng buhok mo.. kakkoii". Pero sa loob loob nila, "Hala, saang carnival ka nanggaling? Nag cosplay ka ba?"... dito naman Pumapasok yung isang term, na ang tawag e "Omoteura ga aru"....


One notable na nangyari sakin na ganito, isang beses merong Japanese na me hawak ng main computer. So yung computer na to, dito ako gumagawa ng mga applications ko, usually web application. Ginawa nun, nagbigay sya sakin ng access, naka CC sa ibang japanese. tapos, nung aaccess ko na yung computer, ayaw... Yun pala, mali yung binigay sakin. nung lumapit ako, aba, eh iba iba yung case nung username and password, mali pa yung spelling. Para sakin, eto ang tunay na ka plastican. Pero parang doble kara ito, so kahit biro wag nyo sana sabihin sa Japanese. kung sa atin, parang pag sinabi mo, "sus, plastik mo..." , matatawa pa tayo. Sila, hindi....


And another thing, napaka sensitive nila sa pagkakamali. Make a mistake and you're lucky if pagbigyan ka nila ng pagkakataon.

At sana, wag nyo isipin na lahat ng Japanese ganito. Meron din mababait na Japanese, parang sa atin din, or kahit saang lugar. Every place is a forest, ika nga..

あれ、何これ? Surprise in Mailbox (part 2)

Ah, what is this? This is getting interesting so I'll just make a tag called Surprise-Box.

This time, it is an ad for some insecured women. Japan is like this, every morning you have to dump all the fliers that you don't need, else your mailbox will be choked. And also, keep in mind that some important documents might get included between these fliers.

あ、何これ? A surprise on your mailbox.

Whenever I would check my mailbox, I am not surprised anymore if I would recieve things like seen below. I have to edit it to protect the rights of those who run this business, since it is legal here (Tokyo). Yes it is. At first, I can't hardly believe, but I guess kind of things happen as long as there is a barter of interest, someone willing to do anything for money and someone willing to give anything for their desires.



Surprising Promo in Japan I asked few people about this and this kind of thing also have a catch. First, let's check on the ads. It can be paid easily using many convinient methods. Kissing, and other things is OK but you can't change partners once it is settled. Also, for those who are wishing that they would meet Japanese here, read first. Someone I asked have tried going in this kind of things and he said, they we're not Japanese but Taiwanese, Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Brazilians and some Pinay too. And most of the times, they are , what I called "Photo-genic". Well, I know my definition could be wrong but what I mean there is that they are just good-looking on photo and they are depressing to look at in real (based on what he said to me). Also, these people have one goal in mind, to drain you of your money. So when you are in the mid of your climax, you would be stopped and asked to pay more to continue.

Maybe some places do have Japanese but I won't find it out, I'm not desperate to do it.

On top, it says 1hr and 20 minutes for 20,000 yen, 1hr and 40 minutes for 25,000 yen, 2 hours for 30,000 yen. If you could just saved those money, and kept it, and let the USD vs JPY convertion fluctuate on your side, then you can even buy more things, other than spending short amount of time where you risk getting disease and worst, losing respect to yourself. Why?

Because life is more than this. If you let money manage all of your things, someday you'll just lose your value, which depends on something you can't hold forever.

There are things money can't buy.

What do you think?
