Past News Archive: August 2008

Turns out that my workplace needs me ASAP.  Been told by one of my co-workers that the owners have been calling the GM everyday.  Not sure why, but chances are about me according to my co-worker.  My GM wanted back on today,  but I told him Wednesday instead.  Reasons are that it's my normal starting work day & I want to rest a couple of more days. 

Either way, I won't be 100% when I get back to work this week.  My sides are still hurting & my chest too.  Coughing still has effect on them & I need to silence my sneezes or else my chest would hurt.  I'm not sure what to do to get them healed up.  But I would hate to see what awaits for me at work.  I hope I can handle it then.

In anime news, Otakon 2008 had a couple of license announcements.  Bandai got .hack// G.U. Trilogy (surprised me as I thought this was licensed a lot time ago & thought it was just a bunch of CG clips from the game when I watched it.  ADV Films got Indian Summer which is Koharu Biyori in Japan.

Although I'm starting to update this place again regardless of my health, it will still be a slow progress.  So, September won't be loaded with new stuff.  But I'll think to work on it.

Although I'm still sick (but getting a bit better day by day), I don't want to loft around the house & do nothing.  Need to do something to get me going & playing video games isn't an answer.  So I did some minor anime reviews (meaning finishing them up).  Cause of them, I did some updates here.  Small ones though.  Up are complete reviews of Amatsuki & xxxHOLIC: Kei.

I plan to go back to work next week.  I don't think I'll be 100% when I get back, but I can't stay out of action for too long.  Take another week & it will be a month.  I was told by staff members at work that the hotel won't survive without me.  One staff member has been text messaging me almost everyday to see how I am & updates me about the workplace.  It seems to be falling apart worse than I thought.  I don't want to brag, but it actually looks like the hotel can't operate well without me.  Although there were past members that are actually better than me in terms of getting recognized by hotel guests, I seem to be the balancer.  Personally, I prefer to work in the shadows than getting some sort of fame.  My presence does seem to have an impact to the place.  Again, I don't want to seem like "I'm all that!" cause I don't like to brag.

Although I'm still ill, I thought I should made this.  Today (or August 15 in Asia actually), my fifth parental uncle in Hong Kong passed away due to liver cancer I believe it was.  My dad was on his way there, but missed him.  Due to a flight delay & spending a night in Tokyo than having a quick stop there for a transfer, my dad arrived in the afternoon in Hong Kong.  My uncle passed away in the morning in a hospital bed.  I don't have much info about it since my dad didn't ask his family members as they seem to be getting over it as there was no sadness from them.

Although I didn't have much interaction with my uncle, I don't feel too much from his death.  However, I am sadden by it.  But probably not as much as I should.  Even though this is a personal thing, I thought I should let this out to relieve myself & leave a mark for him somewhere.

Update: It was actually August 14 my uncle passed away.  It was 1AM here on the 14th that I got the news & it was still the 14th in Hong Kong.

New month so the July 2008 stuff goes to the Past News Archives

If you are wondering why I haven't updated this place for a long time

Cause of my illness, there will be no updates for a while until I get better.  Sucks I know, but getting better is more of a concern to me.
