I woke up today from a really strange dream. In it our HR rep called me and my colleague R to her office exclaiming “Congratulations!” while handing us a sheet of paper telling us that we have as of today, been transferred to our Nevada USA office as part of the restructuring strategy of the company. Wild thoughts immediately ran through my mind. “Am I really leaving Japan? Nevada USA? Malapit sa Las Vegas yun di ba?”. I then looked at the paper carefully and saw the amount next to the word “monthly salary”. It said “2,096 USD”. Yikes. It was then that I woke up. Whew. For some reason, I felt that I may have dodged a bullet. I guess all these news about the financial crisis and job cuts left and right are getting to me.
Yesterday me, my sis and our friends from our bible study group ran the Financial Industry “FIT FOR CHARITY” fun run. Most of us did the 4K run. It was held at a stadium in Kokuritsu. The weather was just right for running, and we all had fun. The pics speak for themselves. There were ten (10) of us in the group that participated. Kuya Nic, Ate Sally, my sis Car, Ate K, Carol W, Ness, MJ, Alma, Cris Q and myself. Ate Sally and Alma did the 2K walk while the rest ran the 4K. We huddled together at the start of the race and prayed. During the 4k run, a bunch of us were goofing off while stretching, but I reminded the group that we should all take it easy, and just run our pace so we can all finish together. It was a large group of runners as the turnout was quite good. I was keeping an eye on my sister when suddenly I lost her as she suddenly “burst” into speed. Ignoring all my reminders! HEHE. In the end, Cris Q hit the finish line first, followed by Nic, and my sister, Car. In the end, all of us finished and we all had fun. We stopped by an Excelsior cafe for a quick break, before going our separate ways.

Good job guys. Lets do this again next year! Well I guess unless next year, the invite we will receive will be called “Las Vegas Nevada Charity Run”.

Yikes!
