JC Helary reminded me that I'd bought a book called “Basic Technical
Japanese”, which is now sitting uselessly in a box or bookshelf
somewhere in the Philippines. I remember really, really loving that
book because of its examples. I'm serious! The examples talked about
atoms and nuclear fission, beakers, computers… Totally, totally
geeky, and totally, totally cool.

Did I give it to someone else, knowing that I wouldn't be able to take
it to Canada during the first trip? Argh. Anyway, if I did, chances
are that I gave it to one of my barkada. Anyone?

I definitely have to get it next time I fly home. It's a pretty hefty
book, but I'll make space for it!
