I’m unemployed suddenly, too. Can you get me a job starting Wednesday? Relocating to Japan (Ibaraki) is not a problem. Nice jacket.
What, did you quit?
Hey! So something bigger is coming up? Good one! Your tasche isn’t dodgy in that photo. Well done.
If you’re unemployed, maybe you’ll have a bit of time to answer an e-mail I sent about two weeks back. cough
I mean, here’s to bigger and better things with smart suits and shiny, shiny Macs! Hooray for food reviews and other things that glow happily on my monitor.
And HURRAY for an upcoming food review! YOU PROMISED.
Hey! You stole Saddam’s jacket!
Best of luck!! And YAY for food reviews!
Fired for looking at tiny cock pics?
I jest. Anyway good luck with job search and all.
;)
not searching for a job…
Good to see you’re still alive, YK (and Fuckstress, and I’m sure Guig is around somewhere).
The ironic timing of your post is mindbending, as I’m currently writing the essay for my JET programme application thingy. I must admit it’s not easy, I’m struggling to write anything beyond, “I’m a 31 year old IT professional, fire me to come talk to students for a year, suckle off your government’s teat and do it with your women.”
Hire me, even. Heh, whoops.
Awesome. Now hurry up with those elegant online solutions, I’m dying here.
^ Oh erm in that case good luck with stuff.
YF, fix your RSS. Can’t seems to get it working on my feedreader.
wtf. junkporn.com
the food review gotta be well disgusting.
thumb twiddling
OMG HE’S A HOOKER
for gods sakes hes half asian do you honestly think hed leave a job without another one lined up.
losers.
So are you becoming self-employed or something? I thought that first off, but then if your little online gadgets are free, how are you making money? I’m confused. But the words ‘new job’ have a hyperlink to your jonkenpon site so…
Anyway if you are indeed starting your own company with this other guy… good one! And good luck.
Wow, ballsy move. I like it. I can’t wait to be showered in waves upon waves upon tsunami(s) of online utilities.
So…can we see your business plan? And…need a programmer? Oh, and does ‘ken’ have a blog?
grey hairs!
been worked to the bone, uncle yongfook?
Congrats on your entrepreneuric adventures. Isn’t jonkenpon rock, paper, scissors in Japanese? I swear someone told me that once.
“Isn’t jonkenpon rock, paper, scissors in Japanese?”
Yes. Yes, it is.
actually rock, paper, scissors is “jankenpon” in Japanese. Thusly, “jonkenpon” is like a hilariously clever play on words.
U R HOT!
Yey, food and job. I got a new job today, too. Hurray for us. Man, I agree with sgtoca, you are so hawt!!!!11one Yep, now I feel like an idiot.
Hope all goes well with your new entrepreneurial challenge. It’s been awesome to see how far your blog has evolved since your days in the inaka, and I’m looking forward to seeing what jonkenpon has to offer.
I ended up finishing up with JET over the summer, and have just started Grad school at Teikyo Uni in Hachioji, on the west side of your `hood (AKA: Metropolitan Tokyo.) Keep us posted with when your next presentation at PechaKucha will be.
All the Best! There’s nothing like being your own boss i tell u!!!
so mr. director that will be.
good luck.
see you somewhere down the road when you have your own entertainment boeing.
God, yongfook, that must be The Worst Photo of you Ever! You look so much uglier than in your usual angled shots. I feel cheated.
you should come hang out in the park drinking with the old dudes and I some night. It`s the thing to do!
Hey, when bummed about being a 9 to 5 professional out of work, think of the plight of the New York liberal arts college graduate sharing a one room apartment in Brooklyn with three people and no idea of how they are going to use their lack of major in getting a job. Or, in my case, if they will simply fall into the Russian Jewish curse of becoming a computer programmer despite the uselessly expensive education. Yep, not only would a major be useless to me (in philosophy, history, and literature), I don’t even have one. So yeah, take heart or something in remembering you use your mac for other purposes than downloading random shit on wikipedia or whatnot.
Getting a degree in Computer Programming IS ridiculously expensive…and a source of mental anguish.
FOOD REVIEW FOOD REVIEW FOOD REVIEW FOOD REVIEW
YOU PROMISED.
Yeah yeah busy schmusy. Ah shame, that’s probably pronounced shmoosey. The effect is ruined.
Yongfook, food review please young man.
Did you not fucking promise us a food review? penis pictures? ANYTHING? Liar.
watch borat!
pokes update!!
I am going to hazard a guess that whatever secret “excting new job!!!” yongfook is working on is keeping him far too busy to update this blog. When he DOES update it, however, I’m sure it will be filled with much exciting news, which I personally would find more interesting than a food review.
I look forward.
Yes but that’s because you’re a fat gaijin slapper. With big nerdy glasses.
And your name is Lloyd, which is right up there with Frasier, Doug, and Spencer. Ha ha. Nyah.
My middle name is Pon, so can I get in on the action? I can be like a fluffer, get you guys ready.
FGS - way to take a fake childish argument and start a REAL childish argument.
Plus, I suppose I did want to annoy you seeing as you (once again mis-)read everyone elses’ complaints as being real ones. You were really sucking yf cock.
Good grief, nothing real was started whatsoever! Merely a good-natured continuation of the already-started FAKE childish argument. I don’t think I’m the one misreading things here!
As for sucking YF’s cock, I think scott wants that job more than I.
Addendum: While we have obviously rubbed each other the wrong way, can we agree not to continue agruing? I’m not looking to start fights on someone else’s blog.
Yes you are. You come in here peddling your wares… and I’m not sure I fully believe you. In any case I care less than a flying yf so TRUCE!!!! You fat slapper. Seriously though, I hate arguing with posh-talking folks. TRUCE!!!!
Wow, there is another Dina out there. And she is also Russian-Jewish like me! The ODDS!!
This blog is hilarious. Keep it up the good work! And massive good luck with the new business. :)
FOOD REVIEW. NOW!
Nifty hair. now blog dammit blog! I miss your employed self. At least he had time to fil my empty void i once called a soul.
HAH. i kid.
The baby seal population has been extinct for some time :(
ever considered jumpin on the YouTube bandwagon yf?
I’m currently working as a freelance transcriptionist. I’m rubbish at my job and it’s mostly very mentally draining. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer at the moment and I can feel my life draining away with every punch of every key. Yes, I am actually PUNCHING my keys. WITH MY MIGHTY FISTS OF JUSTICE.
I NEED A FOOD REVIEW!11~=*/23980
you could make some money by selling nude photographs of yourself.. lol
Maybe yf got hold of a ps3, after which I’m sure we’d matter very little to him
Oi, hallo? What’s happening? And I just took a good look at the pic at the top of this post. I would KILL for skin like that. sigh
Okay well if you’re not going to write a food review you could at least post us a few words about how your new ventures are going… well?
Lloyd…woah you blog here more than I do.
All is well in the world of Yongfook. Some of you had trouble understanding that I’m not really unemployed (by “some of you” I mean those of you who come here, look at the post titles, look for naked pics and then leave). I never was unemployed-unemployed, there was simply a 3 day limbo period between jobs where I had no employment. I had, of course, something set up - the preparation of which can be traced back by a good few months. I am now working at jonkenpon and have been for the last month or so. Jonkenpon - which, unless you are Jester to the Royal Court of Retardus, you will have worked out is my new venture - is going well and naturally I’ve been busy with the set up of servers, interviewing hot, skankily-dressed and woefully under-qualified women to be administrative assistants, and also starting work on our first couple of projects. Very soon we’ll be launching the Jonkenpon blog so more info when that time comes.
Other than that, things are also fairly hectic in my personal life. I’m moving apartments and have been on what seems like this perennial cycle of being introduced to really shit places that I thoroughly dislike, or being shown awesome apartments that I take 2 days to think over, decide to take, then discover that they were taken by some psychic fucking apartment-hunter about 5 seconds after I left the building.
Also, fueled by PS3 / Wii frenzy and being unable to purchase either (due to them being sold out or, in the case of the Wii, not even released here yet - whodathunkit, Nintendo releasing to the rest of the world first? Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria etc) I, in a fit of next-gen gaming lust, bought an Xbox 360. And so far I’ve been pretty damn happy with it. Gears of War is a beautiful and awesome game, and playing online and hearing other players actually talking to each other is delightfully bizarre - and slightly depressing when I realise that all the other players are 12 year old boys who call each other “bitch” and have screen names that ReAd lykE tH1S.
Anyhoo, will be updating some…time…soon…
Under-qualified to be administrative assistants? What in the world do you want you them to do — write 15-page reports analysing company performance whilst filing and making coffee?
Yay my stalking paid off!
And I don’t have my crappy job anymore! Awesome! Nice to hear things are going rather well at your end of the world. Power to you, Mr Yongfook. It’s a brave thing you’re doing. Good one!
hot, skankily-dressed … whaddaya mean underqualified?
underqualified = won’t bang him
“Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria etc.” I love a good GhostBusters reference.
Good luck with the new company, can’t wait to see what you guys create.
no food review… how about a wii review!
Too busy playing it.
No, seriously though I’m actually RIGHT in the middle of my move and I’m on one side of Tokyo and my Wii and TV are on the other side of Tokyo, at the moment. All my stuff gets delivered on Sunday afternoon.
am sad you and your wee are separated.
how’s the apato situ in Tokyo these days? I rented a 30sqm 1DK near Hirou for 11万, 1995-2000.
Agents still breaking renter’s balls on nonrefundable deposits and stuff? Is the inverted population pyramid beginning to increase apt vacancies in the big city?
The javascript fade-in was very cool, but I wrote 11-man not 11万.
Sounds about right for Hiro. A 30sqm apartment anywhere in that area (Hiro / Ebisu / Shibuya) will run you around 11~14-man a month, unless you’re renting a crumbly shithole from the showa era.
The deposit thing is getting better. The “rei-kin” non-refundable deposit is verrrrrrry slowwwwly being phased out and a lot of newer buildings (i.e. those owned by corporations) don’t ask for them. Privately held or smaller buildings still require them 90% of the time.
I just moved to a new place near Ginza and I paid no rei-kin (brand new building). Paid 2 months shiki-kin (refundable deposit) but that’s normal. Along with all other expenses (agents fee, 1st month rent, insurance etc) it cost me about 750′000-yen to start the new lease. So it’s still a complete bastard to move apartments but not as much as it used to be. And if you look around you can find some good deals on the newer buildings.
That photograph reeks of professionalism. Was the shot setup with any lighting utilities or props? Was it edited digitally post?
I’ve been hearing that Yakuza is more popular these days. Do you have any new Ink/ Tats to share?
Damn it! Why do Japanese people always have to look so trendy no matter what. Don’t you understand that this just perpetuates the fetish that all self proclaimed “trendsetters” over here in the states have about all things Japanese and wanting to be Japanese thenselves?
