catching up

Hello,

I know I know I'm awful not writing anything as I promised to our beautiful blog! It's great we have it so I think I'm the first person that should catch up. It looks Jeri you feel like you are at home in Japan. Good for you! But we want you to be here somewhere in Europe if you don't mind. How are you Rosa? How is your phd going?
I don't know what I should start from. HUGE CINGRATULATIONS to Rosa for Masters. Yes, the photo looks familiar to me.
About a month ago I had graduation ceremony here in London and this time all my family came, so it was lots of fun having them here. PhD is going really OK although I work hard but not as hard I worked during my lovely BEng in Galway. Sounds familiar? hahah

Since then I have never worked so hard! At least I promised to myself not to work over weekends so then we could do some stuff and some travelling. Unfortunately now I am limited with annual leave days and I won't go anywhere for vacations over summer because I have already used all my days at the beginning of the year for Christams, ski and windsurfing trips.
Maybe any of you are planning to come to London? You are very welcome and we are seriously missing you guys? I'd love to see you and hang out with four of us like we did long time ago.
Today London tube is on strike so I stayed at home for a whole day being so lazy so at least I tried to catch up with emaling, blogging and facebooking
I am looking forward to reading you stories and hopefully sooner than I wrote mine

Cheers
asia

Hallo aus Korea

Hey guys,

Yep thats right. In Korea at the moment doing a bit of travelling - South Korea to be exact. Still have a day left and the will head back to Japan to enjoy life as a "professional" teacher...

Pictures and more stuff about places I went may well follow in the next few days/weeks/months.

How are all you getting on? I am still waitin for visitors in Japan?????

Master Graduation

Hey boys and girl!

I just thought I would write a really quick post to let you know I graduated from the Masters two weeks ago. It went well in the end, managed to get through all this and have a degree at the end of it which is a lot more than I expected. Just to show you what I look like at this stage here is a picture of the graduation (does it ring a familiar bell to you???):



It all went well although it seemed my supervisor wasn't around for it (which was actually a lot better than it it had been otherwise). This meant the day went smothly and I had no worries at all. Now I am finally installed in Barcelona, still waiting to get paid for what I do but sure some day this will come. And right now, with the crisis and all, it seems a grant is a good wa to go since you get it for 4 years here and hopefully the whole thing will be over and done with by then and will only be a small memory of the past.

Let us know how you are doing!! I know nothing about any of you!!!

Miss you!! And Barcelona is open to you whenever you want, remember!!!!!!!!!!

xx Rosa

A happy new year to everyone...

Hey gang,

Apparently I am now the only one posting blogs. Even Kuba is starving us of his usuall "witty" comments. No pics from Thailand either.

Apparently the Map from where this blog was visited refreshed a few months ago. As I was home at Xmas, I managed to put a spot in for Ireland. There are however no spots to be seen anywhere in Spain, and yes, that means Rosa hasnt visited the Blog in a few months, never mind put up a comment. No spot in Poland either, but there is one in London so I let you guys off.

Ok, thats about it, less than 2 months now until I get fired. Officially the reason is the global financial crisis but we all know its cause I am lazy and useless.

Who, knows, if someone visits this website I might even put up pics of my gf....

Anyway, happy new year to everyone and hope people will manage to read this in 2009.

Jeri

Liar, liar!!!

The Temple area in Tokyo is Asakasa. The Electric Town area is in Akihabara.

Sorry fot the missleading information. When is everyone going to Thailand?

Proof

Above Jakub in Asakasa (electric town)

Imperial Gardens

Temple area which name I have forgotten

No comments required here I think, but there is proof that Jakub may have been in Jpan - Tokyo to be precise...so now you can prove it to your grandkids.

summer

hey everyone,
im looking at this block much often recently, guess why? well, I 've started wrighting up my thesis and I love sitting all day at the computer when is so nice and warm outside and write about my experiments that 80% didnt work. anyway I have 30 pages already and I have two weeks left.
this sunday im going to croatia with my famila. I gonna windsurfing all the time, very excited. when I get back I will have another 2 weeks to finish this. I must say that Bachelor in Ireland was muuuuuch more difficult that this masters but my results are not going to be very well.

yes, we are going to thailand. and Kuba... I dont care about apples.... it is not funny whta you are are writing in the public blog!!

Rosa, now it is your turn to write something. I still dont know what was A reaction to you resignation!! and you Jeri should come back to Europe ;/ I am sitting in the office next to japanese post doc. he eats all the time some smelly food in front of the computer!! you prbably already started doing the same things busy yellow japanese!!!
bye bye

Finally...

Hey Gang,

Ok, finally have a bit of time to put up a few pics. As you can see, Japan is pretty cool once you manage to leave work.


Well thats it, hope this will stop ye all annoying me about no pictures.

Barcelona

Muchas Gracias por invitarnos a tu casa, estuvo muy bien y nosotros realmente disfrutamos tu compania. Aunque nuestro bebe cambia mucho de parecer aun asi la disfrute. Gracias a tu novio Tofi el es muy amigable, realmente disfrutamos pasar unos dias con ustedes.

My Spanish rox

Anyway was fucking amazing n we r really appreciated. Barcelona is a cool city and we totally agree with ur decision.. although still dunno how it went with mr A. (I know I should call u but the problem is I can't ring abroad from my phone at work.. can use other phone but than I hav to pretend we'r talking bout work). Little asia is also really happy and she really enjoyed it. Now she wan't to go to Mexico and u know how it is... 'baby wants, baby gets' (by rosa).

So loads of loads of kisses for that trip we really enjoyed time over there mostly coz of u, tofi and u family (big thank u for them please!). Also was soo nice to see u especially for me coz we haven't seen each other for ages!!! Only think which was missing though is JERRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! Yo 'wanna b japaneese boy'!! R u there??? Stop picking up all these small lil girs and move ur as back to europe coz it's too far for us to go visit u on the weekend. Besides I need a team mate to play fussball (I've played against rosa but I let her win this time... u know.. we were visiting here and it was our last night.. didn't want to sleep on a bus station or sth). Btw.. u gonna hav internet and contact us this year or 2109??? Just please don't post than u gonna hav internet in 2 weeks!

Invasion to Barcelona

Hi

we (myself and Kuba) are planning a trip to Barcelona at the first weekend of May. Rosa are you going to be there? We really miss you and need you to be our tour guide;)
The things are really good in London. Kuba lives in Uxbridge "city" and I still live at the place where I lived before. I'm having really busy life right now but Im trying to have a little fun at least during the weekends?

Rosa, how are you after this surgery? Did you recover? I hope you feel good now.
Jeri, I still havent seen your photos? Could you please finally put some pics?! How long you gonna hide your yellow girlfriend?

Breda, how long are you going to stay in Madrid? I miss you and I really regret you didnt spent weekend in London when Monika came

Hello Hello!!!

Hi Guys!!!

Its been an awful long time without hearing anthing from anyone and from maintaining mself disconnected from the world outside Barcelona!

I am now in bed for the last 4 days! And I stil have at least 4 more to go... These are the instructions from the doctor that decided my belly should be a sieve instead of a normal belly. I am proud to announce that I now have 4 holes (apart from my belly button) in my belly. How great!

Anyway, better start from the begining: went to the doctor a year ago (before final year even started) and found out I had a cyst. He decided to watch out in case i grew more and as lucky as I am with this stuff it obviously grew. So two weeks ago he told me he would have to perform surgery on the cyst to remove it. So last tuesday I went to the hospital, was given wonderful sleeping drugs and through 3 small holes they removed the cyst. Now I must recover in bed for a week! Ouch! It is so extremely boring! Thankfully today it is not all that painful anymore so I may go out for tea tomorrow... The most exciting thing that I will have done in a whole week.

Apart from this all is well. PhD going ok, getting pretty interesting at the moment, and I am enjoying the work I am doing. People in the lab are sound enough, and Barcelona is just great. I was dying to be back here and now I am so enjoying every minute of it. I love it!

Guys, let me know how things are with you! I haven't heard much of Jakub at all, and Asia since the last email ages ago I know nothing... And Jeri, any news on when you will come back to Europe to see us? --- Don't think I'm mad (none of you) coz I am not... I am more to blame than all of you because of the lack of communication... I simply am terrible... (and so ashamed of it, but I have no cure!!! ))

Miss you loads
xxx Rosa

Greetings from Europe

Hey blog heads.

Hows life with everyone. In Europe at the moment with work. Might see Asia next week if she ever gets back from skiing and then meeting up with Kuba in Tokyo for a crazy, crazy, crazy couple of nights. Not much else to say really. All is still good in Japan. Anyone been booking any trips to Japan (Rosa???). Ok thats about it.

Keep in touch everyone!

Jeri

PS: It appears there are no internet connections in the Catalan/Mallorcan region Miss RVC

Greetings from Spain

Hi Everyone!

Greetings from Spain. Hope you are all doing good and a belated Happy Birthday Jeri... I´m settling in well here in Ciudad Real and learning lots of Spanish and the only bad thing is annoying little Spanish kids who won´t shut up in class.
I´m living with two Spanish girls who are really sound so I´m lucky. So if anyone fancies a trip to Spain, you´re more than welcome. I´m only 45 mins from Madrid...

Anyways Happy New Year,

Breda

Happy belated birthday Jeri!!!

Happy birthday! Sorry it's so late wishing it to you but I'm better at calling than at looking at my computer during the holidays. I hope you were able to celebrate it in Japan! By the way, what was Christmas like over there? I had a great Christmas at home with Tofol and my family. He says hi to all of you by the way!

I will try to put up some pictures of the hole holiday soon.

Rosa ;P

hard time

now Im having exams, im just in the middle

for me this year hasn't started very happy. I sacrified my new years party (well I went out only for 3 hours) for the fucken exams. I had my first exam yesterday and guess what?? I probaby failed this shit. I learned off everything but other questions came up. I love that feeling when I use my imaginatin to answer the questions that I have no idea what they are about;/
im so maaaaaaaaaaaaaad. monday Im having my last exam and hopefully it wont be such a drama.
that's my life. I am so angry!! write something cool in here please so i'll get more energy

Merry Xmas!!

Well Merry Xmas! All the best and whateva else u dream of.

Poll results

Well guys the Poll is closed so it's time to tell how fucked up are ozies. They put fucking beetroot into their burgers! Fuck sake it's sick isn't it?? Well I had pleasure (*not*) to get one of these and I didn't looked what it has inside coz I thought it's fucking impossible to fuck up a burger. Well for your info it is actually possible. Aussies r doing it and it's fucking disgusting. Even trowing the beetroot away doesn't help coz u can still feel it in the burger. So for your own safe: Please don't try it! EVER!

And talking about food I didn't mentioned that I'm working (YEA!!) in a restaurant. And not JUST a restaurant! A really posh one! One of the best (someone says it is the best) in Sydney! Hahaha imagine me as a waiter! It is fucking hilarious even for me! I'm braking stuff every single day. like 3 days ago I broke a bottle (.7l ) of vodka! Jesus I was crying there coz it was such a fucking waste of good spirit and they were screaming on me and asking some stupid questions ('why did u do that?' - idiots). Well anywayz David Beckham was there a week ago (i missed him unfortunately) and Paris Hilton is coming and they already promised me that they will let me serve the food for here (they fucking hate here and they r hoping that I will trow food on here which is quite possible. But it's mean to think like this isn't it?) it's not the first time when she is visiting this restaurant and all ppl there say that in here case the hair colour is not a coincidence). Well I won't wish you marry xmas yet coz I hav to post some xmas pics over hire so please check it in 2-3 days.

Btw Hav an idea for next poll: When do you think there will be small little jeri's?

Jolly good fun

Hey group, (Goodday mate)

How is everyone??? All is good out here in Japan. Actually, this place is great and could only be better if ye were all here... Got my apartment furnished but its still gonna take ages till I get internet. Dont really have time to do much at the weekends, which is annoying...but managed to go to Kurashiki with the Korean girl I am meeting/going out with/married to(haha)...Aslo, bought a bike so all I have left to buy is a snowboard. Aparently there is already snow in some of the resorts, so just aswell my snowboard boots, bindings, pants from my folks.

Let me know how ye are all getting on. Kuba, as regards meeting up I dunno cause I cant take holidays till March, but ya can always swing by on your way home.

Wish I was in London with you guys ... :(

Miss ye all loads.

Jeri

PS: This blog is a bitch to use if your computer is in Japanese....
