Shibuya with SEK

So today, the only plan is to meet up with SEK. At first we were going to go clubbing in Roppongi with her friend, but last night when we were talking on the phone, he hadn’t contacted her yet, so she had to cancel the clubbing. I didn’t mind since it’s not really my type of thing anyways. But I think she really wanted to go.

So during the day, I didn’t do very much. I was on the computer again, reading news and just checking e-mail. I bought lunch last night when I was walking home from the station, so I had food covered for today. It’s weird because I can’t really remember what I did today or at least this afternoon. Oh, wait, I remember now. After I finished eating lunch, I decided that I wanted to watch some TV. It was a tad hot today that it was almost unbearable, but not as bad as it was before. I just got used to it being cool that’s why. So I enjoyed my episodes of the West Wing. I think I saw three of them today. The first one was Bartlett’s third state of the union. The second one was Isaac and Ishmael, which isn’t part of the sequence, but as a reflection of what happened on September 11th. It was a big event that happened in America, so it was a good episode to check out. The last one is titled the drop in. I really like that one because I like the effort that Sam makes in his speeches, but it got blown off because of the drop in. I know how that is, and the pressure amounting when you make a speech. You want the audience to stand up because the energy and the speech was one that forced you to stand up and give applause.

I really like that show, so I had a good time checking them out. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it, so I was glad to get a chance to see it again today. I think that I might have neglected things that I needed to do, but I didn’t realize that I needed to do them either. Like laundry should be done soon because I will be gone all next week so I should be prepared for that. Then I need to pick up my dry clean from months ago because work will be starting soon and I need some suits. I think I will make a trip to school tomorrow that would be necessary to have a suit. I want to play some tennis, since tomorrow will be a cooler day than today. At least that’s what Yahoo weather says.

Before I knew it, it came time to leave. I was talking to my friend really quickly right before I left. It was time-sensitive since I was going to see the person that it pertained to in a matter of hours. So it was good. I realized something that I hadn’t realized before, but then I wanted to confirm things for my self to see what’s really going on. I left and got rid of some garbage today too. That was good since it was starting to smell a little.

I got there a little bit early and actually so did she, so we got going early today. We didn’t have much time to hang out today since she has to go home early because her father is a tad strict. I think that’s a good thing for her anyways since it shows her that he cares. Last time, we had wanted to go to Harajuku, but ended up in Daikanyama, so this time, we walked directly towards Harajuku. I took the shorter way, although I learned today that there were two ways to get there. We basically walked around in a big circle and decided to get food a long the way.

We stepped into a Chinese restaurant called Kenbi. There wasn’t much people there, maybe only 5 total since it’s a bit hard to find. We got several dishes like gyoza, fried rice, soup, salad, sweet and sour pork, and dessert. It was about 2000 yen a person, which was a tad bit expensive because it really wasn’t filling. It was small. I knew it was going to be small, but SEK didn’t think it would be. So I made a bet with her that it would be too small, and she accepted. She asked the waitress if it would be enough for two people, and she said yes, that’s why she took the bet. She thought that she would win, but I told her that it would be in Japanese portions and not American sized portions.

She inevitably lost. Hehehehe. So the bet was, whoever lost had to ask the waitress for her phone number. And I’m surprised that she actually did it. She only got the e-mail address and gave it to me. I had mentioned that I thought she was cute, only as a joke, but SEK believes that I need to have a girlfriend and said that I should contact her to start one. I thought she was and is crazy for saying that.

We were talking about her relationship for a long time. Up until 10pm actually, which was very late since she wanted to leave by 9pm. I didn’t want to bring it up, but I knew that I had to bring it up. It was important that things were to be addressed in order to insure progress for everyone. I don’t think she felt comfortable with it, but then she was very sure of what she said. She really believes in her reason for the break-up and I would agree with her. I actually understand both of them, but it’s hard for me to see them apart. But I think if she was asking me about my relationship, I wouldn’t be happy to discuss it with her. I really didn’t want to be pushy or to push her to talk about it. I wanted to give both of them a fair chance to say what they needed to say. I think it was a good conversation, but made me realize I’ve got to go back to talk to the guy and to help him out to get what he needs to get in order to get her back.

It would probably the last time I see her this year, and maybe even next year. It’s a bit sad that I probably won’t see her again, although I will probably visit her if she goes to Europe or Australia for school. I hope she goes to Europe because I’d like to visit Europe next year, so that would be perfect timing since I will be leaving Japan for good then. It wasn’t very tearful, but it was sad that I won’t be able to hang out or talk to her even that much.
