I woke up late this morning, since I was too tired from the Tagaytay Trip and Thesis Celebrations yesterday.. Today was the Nihongo Center Foundation's OPEN HOUSE 2009, held at the Morayta branch, where there are various activities in the school. Students and friends from both the Makati and the Morayta Branches came to celebrate Japanese activities..

Some of the activities included: Calligraphy, Origami, Anime viewing, Anime trivia, Fortune Telling, Ocha (Japanese Tea) Ceremony, Kimono Wearing, Judo, Aikido, and the best-selling booth: the OKONOMIYAKI!! (Japanese veggie pizza)

There were 4 of us out of the 10 in our class who attended.. and wow there were so many people! Ang haba ng pila grabe! hahaha.. When I arrived, I saw my classmates at the Origami booth..Since I arrived late, they were already starting, so I decided not to do Origami.. I then went to the Okonomiyaki booth and ordered 2 pieces. I was I think, 18th in the line.. so I just wrote my name and came back for it later.

Next, I went to the FORTUNE TELLING booth! =)) I love these kinds of stuff, so I waited in line. Lo and behold, it was A.D. Sensei herself who was doing the Tarot fortune telling.. haha.

MY FUTURE FORETOLD:

1. General Fortune- She gave a lot of predictions on what's currently going on in my life, and where it is going.. and for the overall fortune, she told me:

"THINGS ARE STILL GOING TO CHANGE."

I think got the Wheel of Fortune card.. so I think that's the interpretation of that card. hehe.

2. My Fortune for the next 12 months:

      Nov- "May mawawala. Sorry."

      Dec- "You'll be hoping for something"

      Jan- "You'll probably get a promotion"

      Feb- "You'll be given more responsibility"

      Mar- "Something will happen that will make you doubt yourself--"

      April- "--and eventually it will cause you to look for another job."

      May- (i forgot)

      June- "You'll get satisfaction"

      July- "You'll get more love"

      August-September- (i forgot)

      October- "You'll have to take the challenge!"

...

Haha.. I was quite amazed at this.. especially the January-April part.. since by January it'll be my 6th month at work and I'll probably get a raise, since I'll be a regularized employee already.. and by the April part.. well, it's just that I'm thinking that by April I'll probably be looking for a job at a smaller firm. I mean, it's not that I'm not happy here, it's just that I think I'll get the "laid-back yet lots of experience" a a small firm. hehe. But anyway, I'll just leave that to next year. hehe.

3. Specific Question: "Will I get the career that I want?" (I'm referring to my comic-book artist dream)

Answer: "After much competition, Yes."

...

Haha.. well.. the competition's tough, (really effing tough) but yeah, I'm up to the challenge.. so fight! fight! hehe.

4. Specific Question: (I can't post it here..haha.)

Answer: "Magbabago pa rin." (I got the Wheel of Fortune again..)

...

Hmm.. so there. Haha. The readings made sense.. and it's not like I totally believe in it and not like I don't believe it either.. I guess it's just amusing that some may just be true. hehe.

Anyways, after that, me and my classmates ate Okonomiyakis and I bought a Hazelnut-flavored Yan-Yan! It was so yummy! hehe. I left the Nihongo Center by around 1pm, since I was asked to come in for work that Saturday.. ugh.. but at least I was able to spend a few hours enjoying Japanese culture at a festival-ish setting..hehe.

Next year I'll DEFINITELY come in for the whole day and I'll DEFINITELY rent a yukata there to wear. hehe.
