Hi everyone!
I have been busy (kind-of) recently so I haven’t been able to give an update. I’ve been humming and hawing over what to give for an update here ad trying to decide on what I should talk about! Well I have decided I’ll let you all know exactly what’s going on now.
Since my last update, I took another trip down to the city of Regina to visit some good friends, have a couple beer and play airsoft (survival game). This game was a good-sized game and the first international game played in Canada as we had one person from Japan and one person from Australia playing as well along with us!
This is me attempting to hold off 6 enemy players that were attacking one of our base’s. Needless to say, I failed that task! In this photo, I am wearing tactical goggles, woodland camoflage and am carrying a Tokyo Marui G3-SG1 with metal RIS front-guard.
Recently my family had a very large BBQ and we hosted nearly 50 people from across the province and many friends and neighbors as well. It was quite a lot of fun, and it was for my Mother & Brother’s birthday celebrations. I invited over some friends (Paul, Dale, Warren & Ben) and everyone had quite a good time.
Here is a picture from early-on in the BBQ. In this photo, you can see quite a few of our neighbors, we as well as me (Leather jacket & glasses).
A few days later, I met up with my good friend Zack, a mutual-friend of ours Mark & Zack’s girlfriend Lindsay. We all went out for a couple drinks and then decided it would be a lot of fun if we go to the batting cages. They picked on me a little bit because I am a left-handed batter. I am partially ambidexterous… that means I can use my left and right hand to do things. I write with my right hand, but play sports with my left hand.
After that, we had another couple beers and went home! Since I moved to Japan, I have developed a slight taste for beer. Before I moved, I never enjoyed bee, but now it’s so-so.
Although I’m not very good at baseball, I did a pretty good job at the batting cages!
Onto some bad news… I was fully expecting on going back to Japan mid-June or even possibly late-June. I found out recently from my employer in Japan that the STUPID Japanese Immigration official’s out-right cancelled my visa…. so instead of going back, working, and waiting for a new one, I get to stay here in Canada and apply from here. That takes a LONG LONG LONG time, up to three months to do-so. Thankfully I have a college diploma and that will help me out quite a bit! The only thing I really worry about is my rent that I have to pay in Japan. Even though I’m not living in Japan at the moment, I still need to pay rent for my room since all of my belongings are sitting there! OH NO!
In the meantime I will try to find a job to work here in Canada and earn enough money to pay rent. If that fails, I will have to hit-up my parent’s and see if they can help me with my bills…. that’s what parents are for, right?
Something I missed about Canada were the skies. They are absolutly beautiful here in the province, not that the skies in Japan are not gorgeous as well, but there’s just something about seeing the sky from your home-town. I guess it makes me a little nostalgic.
This is probably one of the photos I will be entering into a contest here in Saskatoon. In-case you readers don’t know where I am from, I am from the city of Saskatoon in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada.
Thankfully there are some good things to do to keep myself occupied in the city. I have started fishing, biking and walking. I noticed that I had packed on a few pounds so I decided that it’s time to start a small diet. It’s not so much a diet, as much as it is eating better and NOT eating as much junk-food!
Anyhow, with that, I will leave you all with a nice little photo of a buddy Rhett & I from the airsoft game. Take care everyone & keep watching here for updates! Oh, if anyone want’s to see a quick shot of where I’m living, feel free to log onto my webcam at http://www.smilecam.com/aquamarine
