Isn't that the same as yesterday's post title. Anyways, I woke up surprisingly very early today, just in time to take out the garbage before the 8:30am "deadline." Supposedly you're not allowed to take out the trash after 8:30am, and you're only allowed to take out the designated type of trash for the day. In our area, Iiyama, it's plastics and paper on Mondays, PET bottles and cans on Thursdays, and "nabubuloks" on Tuesdays and Fridays. And supposedly, you're not allowed to take out the trash the night before. As you can see, there is a very slim window to do it, particularly if you sleep relatively late and therefore you wake up relatively late. But I heard and I see from the other gaijin (foreigners) here, Korean and Indian specifically, "it's not necessary to follow the schedule." I still do follow the schedule but as you can bet, it's difficult. Sometimes I would have food wastes that need to wait over the weekend and a total of 4 nights before I get to throw them. I can't imagine what it would be like when it's winter, it's snowing, and it's freezing cold and you have to throw the garbage so early in the morning, the coolest part of the day!
Anyways, today was work, work, work. And then play. Basketball, that is. Tiring as usual, but not as heavy on my knees as before. I think I'm getting used to my own weight. The last time I played basketball regularly and this heavily, I was probably 20 lbs (9 kilos) lighter. Anyways, as usual there was "betting," but like the past few game days, there was no winner. Our "rules" are that you can win the betting if you win the first two games. As you can guess, we usually split those two games.
Anyways, I found some info on an apartment similar to the one I used to stay in: レオパレスグリーンヒルズＡＹＡ｜賃貸はレオパレス21. Pretty interesting.
Lunch was picadillo. Dinner was nilagang manok and steamed pechay again. I love Filipino food the most. :-)
