Yellow Tokyo
The other day, I took a day off from work to run some errands, getting my OEC from the Philippine embassy, and renewing my Japanese International Driver’s License, both in preparation for my visit to the Philippines.

Hindi ko alam kung sino ang gumasgas at wala rin yung lagi kong katabing kotse kaya hindi ko ma-check kung may gasgas din siya. Hindi ko mai-describe ang galit pero buti…
