NICE! SCORED A YEARBOOK

WOW! Scored a school yearbook today! I early had asked about getting one after seeing all the kids yearbooks. So Ishihara Sensei asked around, and Morika Sensei, the boys basketball coach kindly gave me his. I felt kinda bad taking his copy, but he said it was a present, and that all 3rd grade teachers get a copy FREE, and that he had too many since he was a 3rd grade teacher every year. Wow, so cool. Because usually the kids have to pay like a 100 bucks usa just to get one. I will have to get him a present later.

Flipping through it, it had a lot of nice pics of the kids and their events throughout their stay here at school, plus there were some cool looking teachers in there, like me ... ha ha ha .. just kidding. The interesting thing in the yearbooks is that the pictures are just of the 3rd grade kids, where as back home its the entire school, every grade. Plus no individual school pictures here. Just class pictures and random assortments. So only the 3rd grade kids can get the books the other grades just use a nice big board of paper to get signatures from their friends for the year. Overall its a very nice book with alot of good memories.

Another day at elementary school, but with a bonus lunch. Usually its the bread, or rice, with soup, or fish, or something. But damn today they gone all out, today was Korean food. It was BeBimBa, ah damn it was good. No kimchee though, but thats alright, it was still good ... a rare meal of the day.

NOTHING LIKE CREST

Got my package from home today, my homie G Mixtape Basketball video, which i wanted to show to my kids, so they can witness streetball at its finest. Then i also got my favorite toothpaste, Crest. Before i didnt mind using either Colgate or Crest. But you dont know what you got til its gone, and i know i have been missing my Crest. You can find Colgate in Japan or any other place in Asia and Australia, believe me i have been looking... but you cant find Crest. So ahhhhh ... had to pop it open today and use it to keep my mouth and teeth sparkling clean once again!
