I read an e-mail from a friend and I couldn't stop laughing. It was just too hilarious that I decided to share the joy to you folks. Anyhoo, here they are:
"Please Keep chair on position & Keep table cleaned after dying. Thanks for your corporation."
I do not wanna comment. This is just too much! lol XD 
"If you are stolen, call the police at once."
Hahaha! This is just silly!
"Please Do Not Feed The Fishes With Your Private"
No Way! It will hurt!
"Slip Carefully!"
Can someone teach me how to slip carefully???

SKP Goes to Mount Fuji!
July 5 - 6, 2008
THE START...
We began our journey to Japan's "giant" by making a cute little flag the day before the actual climb. We just wanted to have something to hold on to when we reach the top. We made cute doodles and put a lot of color to it just for fun. So, yeah, the morning of July 5th, which is a Friday, I made myself some egg sandwich and made sure everything was in my backpack (including a banana water gun). I even sewed my pants 'coz it has like a little hole on it. BUT, guess what??? By some bringer of misfortune, BAD LUCK does come into my life and ruined a part of my day. I friggin' left my pants! I was supposed to wear it when we get to the actual spot since it was scorching hot that day and I just plan to temporarily wear a light stocking-sort-of pants. Anyhoo, so I was at the train station when I realized that BUT if I try to go back and grab it, I would miss the train so..."Dana, just forget it and have some damn fun!," I said to myself.
Everyone, 76 of us, assembled at Takeda Station and we were asked to join our assigned groups. We had two buses. One bus carries all SKP peeps while the other one seats some SKP students and Japanese peeps. I was in the former bus so, yeah, it was fun 'coz your movements are not limited. With gaijins, you could do almost anything. The ride on the bus was fun. We took several stops for meals and toilet breaks. I get to play around and blab a lot on the bus. 
And after hours of blab, laughters, and sleep, we reached our destination: 5th Station of Mt. Fuji. We had dinner and then changed into our climbing outfit. Of course, we took a lot of pictures before the actual climb. haha! So, we then headed uphill and at first, the route was smooth and easy but little did we know that we were just about to start the "real climb." THE CLIMB...
In the beginning, people were fooling around and talking to one another but as we go further and higher, came silence. haha! Sunset on Mt. Fuji was beautiful. But as the sun goes down, so does our strength. We tried to stay with our groups but most of the time we climbed leisurely, how long or how slow we want it. Of course, we don't want to stress a lot of people. Still, climbing up was fun for me. Especially, when I met a cute 5-year old boy named Satsuki. He was so charming and strong for his age. He was climbing along with older people. Also, I gave that kid his first kiss. Woot! haha!
Then we reached the 6th, 7th, and finally the 8th Station where we are going to take an hour and a half of sleep and be given our breakfast. This was around 11:45pm. We had to start climbing again by 1 am if we want to see the sunrise on top of the mountain. We dealt with some problems but at that moment our goal was to reach the top. Our group left a little late so we were having concerns to whether we will be there on time, etc. Anyhoo, we just kept on going, amidst pain and all those high rocks. I should tell you, climbing is not a joke. It was extremely dangerous. One wrong step might risk your life and the life of others. We were guiding one another all through the journey. And then, SUNRISE came! Everyone was rejoicing, taking photos, videos, and all that. The sunrise was the best I've ever seen. It was sooo wonderful!
THE GOAL !
At the peak, we continued the jubilation. Then, eventually, we were tired and hungry so the mood was a little un-genki up there. The thing that gave back the excitement was the crater. We went and took more pictures. We waved the SKP flag! Woohoo! Also, the view was spectacular up there. The feeling of being on top of Japan, 3,776 metres, was beyond words, baby! haha!
What we did not know was... Going DOWN was sooooooo much harder that climbing up! We assumed since we are descending, the effort to be used would be less. The rocks on the path were loose. The route was steep and curvy. We were slipping here and there. I even hurt my ankle 'coz I couldn't control my speed as I was going down and my foot landed the wrong way. We had to take breaks... like a lot! It was just not how we expected. But hey, we climbed Mt. Fuji so... Who cares now?!? WE MADE IT!!! The pain, money, long bus rides, lack of sleep, and the torture of going down were all worth it. I am sooo proud of everyone. I reached one of my goals too so... Hooray! Filipino pride on top of Japan!
PS: I brought a Philippine flag (a paper one) as we climbed but it got all torn up as we went further. I'm sooo sorry. But I still tried to do a li'l something-something. Hope you guys appreciate it! ;D

日本人が変えたほうがいいと思うこと。あるいは維持したほうがいいと思うこと。日本はユニークな国として知られています。完全に違う文化を経験するし、異なった習慣を発見するために、外人は日本に来ていますね。それは日本に住んでいる日本人とも関係があると思います。というのは、日本人は外人にとって、ユニークな人々だと思っているが、日本人の行動や考え方の違いがたくさんありますから。私にとって、日本は今のままで十分満足だと思うんですけれども、もし提言したら、いくつかの面白いお考えについてお話したいと思います。
もし何か提言できることがあれば、日本のある考え方を変えたほうがいいと思いますが、日本人はすごくやさしいんですね。それはいいところでしょう？しかし、日本人は時々やりすぎだと思います。たとえば、私の個人的な場合は、大学でいっぱいサークルに入って、やっぱり日本人は競争があまり好きではないという気持ちに気づきました。私はスポーツマンですが、スポーツはただお遊びではなく、真剣なものだと思っています。私、どんなゲームでも絶対に負けないと言う気持ちを持っていますけれども、日本人の私の友達はスポーツをするときも、いつも平和的です。でも、フィリピンではスポーツをするとき、攻撃的（こうげきてき）になります。日本人はうまくないということではないんですが、日本人がもっとまじめにスポーツをするのがいいんではありませんか？いつもいつもスポーツはおあそびだけとしてすると、うまくなるのができません。これは私の意見ですが。。。また、日本人は勤勉な国民だそうですが、日本人は仕事をもっと簡単にしたほうがいいんじゃないでしょうか？たとえば、私は家庭教師というバイトをしていて、私の生徒たちは全員会社員で、レッソンのとき、仕事の話になると、かれらはいつも悲しそう顔つきになります。仕事のせいで、大変ストレスを感じていて、残業しなくちゃ、休憩を取られないといういろいろな文句を聞いています。私がこの状態をちょっとかわいそうに思います。たぶん、無理なんですけれども、日本人がもっとレラクスしたほうがいいんじゃありませんか？
しかし、日本人は維持したほうがいいところもあります。たとえば、日本人は本当に心の温かい人ですね。それはよかったです。たとえば、私、問題があれば、日本人の友達はいつも手伝ってくれます。さらに、日本人は創造力があると思います。というのは、日本のテクノロジーやファッションを通じて、日本の思考を表現できて、それはすてきだと思います。
やっぱり日本は悪いところもあれば、いいところもあるということです。でも、私にとって、日本は本当にきれいな国で、すばらしい人々がいて、すごい文化や習慣もあると思います。これで、終わります。

I just LOVE this song. I love how Marie Digby sees all the emotions in every girl's heart. Be it serious or light. Be it hidden or unfolded. Be it about happiness or heartbreak. Everything is just captured. Apart from her "Unfold," this is the song which I can incredibly relate to. I dunno if I'm ready to actually belong to someone though I, for sure, know that I like him and all. It just doesn't feel right. He is really a sweet decent guy... It's just the situation and timing that killed it. But I like what we have right now. Just a wee bit over friendship but not really in that kind of relationship. Being with him, I can just be real. Being with him is fun. I know he's willing to take the risk months before. BUT yeah, it's just me. I just don't want to be someone's girlfriend right now: NO commitment, serious phone calls, someone breathing behind your neck, explanations, and all those complications.
- Marie Digby - GIRLFRIEND
You wear, your hair
like it's your best accessory
and I don't want to
ever have to compete with that
I know, you'd be
nothing but excessively sweet
cherish me, sing to me, love me
but I can't belong
to anybody else right now
though it is not much of an excuse
i can't belong
to anybody else when I've got
so much figuring out to do
I don't want to be a girlfriend
I don't want to talk about my feelings, yeah
I don't wanna be some girlfriend
I don't wanna have to explain
what I'm thinking
I go, alone
to watch stupid romance movies
and I sit, wishing
it was your arms wrapped around me and
I just deny
that all i want is a piece of you
but I guess it's true
don't want to talk on the phone
don't want attachments, don't wanna
be your girlfriend..
I just can't belong
to anybody else right now
though it is not much of an excuse
I can't belong
to anybody else when I've got
so much figuring out to do
I don't wanna be a girlfriend
i don't wanna talk about
my feelings, yeah
i don't wanna be a girlfriend
i don't wanna have to explain
what i'm thinking
is it wrong for me to want you
just for a day?
i don't want to be that kind of girl
but i can't help myself
