These days, I often think about how much longer before I can return home. I initially intended to use ‘days’ to count my return but it came to too big a number. Same thing about months. But using weeks is the best cause 7 weeks doesn’t sound too bad. I guess I’m just so excited to return home even though I’ve ony been away for 1 week. To be with my wife in her time of need, to welcome my new daughter to this world, and the added bonus of having a month off work.

I realized something in the week I was here. I am a lousy tourist! FYI, last Thursday was a pulic holiday here in Japan. I spent that day watching my One Piece anime on my PC. Today is Sunday, yet all I did yesterday was go out for lunch! In my defence, it rained alot on Thursday and I intend to go to Tokyo today. I think the fact that I’ve still have 7 weekends to go is whats causing me to procrastinate. I guess I should be thinking I only have 7 weekends to go.

Last night I fell asleep quite early. Wifey called but I was half asleep. Feel guilty cause night time is the only time we get to see each other via webcam. I know being away is hard on her, especially since we rely on each other alot. She’s a strong and independent women but she still needs the attention she deserves. Having to endure the last 7 months and the coming 2 months is testament to her mantle. In fact all mothers that had to endure pregnancy in my mind deserve recognition! The fact that you remain strong after all you’ve been or are going through, trumps most, if not all, the triumphs we men can claim.
