Eh-hum # 167

Great....I had to shell out more than ¥11,000 to renew my passport. If I only knew it would cost me this much, I would've renewed it back in the Philippines, which costs three thousand pesos less.

Well, I was suppose to go home by the end of July, but my stay here in Japan was extended for two more months. I'm not complaining, since a) will be receiving allowance for the said two months; and 2) July is too soon now that I think about it. I haven't ordered a balikbayan box yet to ship all the stuffs (gifts, my books among other things) I've accumulated for the past 9 months. So I guess, ¥11,000 is a price to pay for me not to experience the chaos that would result when I attempt to go home next month. Haybuhay...
