18 / 12 Holidays, If I may?

A normal introspection when asking for holidays in Japan...

This is a drawing I've made for my last holidays, I needed to ask for a 1 week off the next month.

I was so freaking out it would be turned down (and I  have reasons to, I have this bad habit to book my flight tickets BEFORE asking for my holidays), anyway I was so freaking out that instead of asking for "a week in one month" I did asked for "a month in one week"...

(You see then LawwwLing)
haha

This makes me now remember when I said to my Boss last time "Hey, I need to go to the Emirates on Monday" and he started this long discussion, like "But we need you here, why all of a sudden?" And after 15 minutes I was like "Embassy, Oh did I forget to say "Embassy?" Yes I'm going after work, I won't miss anything."

I think my Boss is always wondering if I'm crazy or If I just fancy pulling people's legs around.

Hum.

Well, This time (Yesterday) I really did asked for a full month OFF. See the trip? Same situation without the end : ) I was wondering If I should just remove the last square and post it again : ). But I'm really sure I'll have a reason to draw this surely upcoming new funny situation that awaits me somewhere before I'm off work. I don't know why destiny always gives me the hell of a "fantastic adventure" I have to deal with each time I decide to take holidays : )

Most of the times that consists in blood, more blood and hospital grand tours :D
Hope destiny is going to be nicer with me this time!

Love,
Olve



Hum. okay stupid play on words....

12/16 A glimpse of Akihabara.

秋葉原電気街

Here's a quick rough of Akihabara, Tokyo's electric town atmosphere. The Otaku's place to be.

Love it.

12/14 Obvious lunch fails.

"L'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions"
comme qui dirait : )

12/10 お魚が食べないフランス人。

みんなさんー

もうクリスマスの時期がやってきましたが、御食事のほうは？皆さんはどうされていますか？
美味しい食べ物たくさん召し上がりましたか（笑）？
こちらの絵、子供時代の思い出だけですが。
何の関係もございません（笑）。

子供ゴコロお魚好き大人より。

給食タイムでござる。何故か、一番友達がサボっていたタイム...悔やむ悔やむ！

12/03 اليوم الوطني الـ42 لدولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة بطوكيو.

　UAEアラブ首長国連建国記念日 

昨日はアラブ首長国連邦の42年目の建国記念日でしたね。

ちょうど東京では、日比谷の帝国ホテルで、その記念式典が開かれていて、私は、運良くそこに招待されてUAE建国記念式典に参加してきました。 UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。。

UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。今回はじめての参加だったのですが、参加した友達のドバイ人に聞いたら「毎年相変わらずここ（帝国ホテル）だよ～」と言っていました。またアラブのテレビ局も来ていて、こうした世界中で行われているUAEの記念式典を収録して、アラブ世界に放送するとのことでした。 UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。。

今回のパーティーでは、入る時にアラブ首長国連邦の皆が1人1人、駐日UAE大使に自己紹介をする形ではじまりました。

入口に置かされた、オールアイスで出来たUAEシンボルの像です。 UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。。

出席した日本人の友達に「とんでもないかき氷になれますね」と冗談で言われましたhappy01 UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。（笑）。

今回の記念式典では、アラブ首長国連邦がもちろん一番人数の多い国民なのですが（笑）それ以外にも、サウジ・アラビア人、モロッコ人、イラク人、アメリカ人、そしてもちろん日本人もいましたよ。チュニジアとして参加したのは私だけでした。 UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。。

 以前アラブ首長国連邦（英：UAE）について色々話しましたが、UAEが国としてできてから…実は、まだ42年なのですよー UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。！

アラブ首長国連邦として設立されたのは1971年でした。

と言うことで…Olfaの両親よりも随分若いですよ. UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。（笑）ビックリしますね。

UAEは、実際にまだとっても歴史の若いアラブの国です。ですが、急激な発展やアラブの文化にモダンの文化を取り入れていったことで、誕生は若くても、現在世界のトップ観光地の1つになりましたね！ある意味で、密度の濃さでUAEが「長い歴史のある若い国」とも思えてしまいますUAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。。

UAE、私の大好きな国です…。皆さんも機会があったら、旅行などで訪れてみてくださいね UAE（アラブ首長国連邦）の建国記念式典に参加してきました。！

すこーし、こちらにて、記念日の写真を共有させて頂きます*＾＿＾*。

以上です。また投稿します＾＿＾

12/1 Far from Fame, Filled with Blame.

Excuse me.

Of what.

No, nothing, just to say. Just in case.

In case of what.

My head's too heavy, I guess.

Too heavy on my shoulders, I won't be able to bear that much longer.
Not heavy with knowledge, sadly.
Not filled with intelligence I'm afraid. Rather with Guilt.

But Guilt is good, at least that stands for... Experience.

At least that stands for...Sacrifice, sometimes.

Well, I'm not sure God would agree to let me this one, this time.

My only feeling? "That's anyway too late"
Or something alike.

A Bell ringing that no Bell would ever ring anymore.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the main and only difference between now and before, the hell-fuck-screwthemall is the same,

Same amount of Spices and Salt. I just don't like this taste anymore.

I just don't wanna fight for myself anymore.

This horrible bitterness the lack of courage leaves on the tongue.

The same despicable feeling with a different ME in front.

Not that I don't wanna run away anymore, rather that I can't run away anymore.

As this time I would have to run away from myself.

And the impossibility this idea involves makes me wanna puke my heart.

Let me cut myself into two, Sir. There's a part of me I don't wanna meet no more.

An all-over fingerprinted-part of me, people marked like they would have done with fresh concrete.

It's too hard but too late now.

I've tried to clean,
To delete,
Erase,
Hide.

Drown,
Dismiss,
Explode,
Rewrite.

Let me tell you,
Let me tell you one thing, Sir.

Let me tell you.
Life is better with no words.

11/26 The (Japanese) city that never sleeps.

Hi there!

What have you been up to recently?
As for me, I'm just everyday having exciting home-office-home round trips : )

That, as boring as it sounds, make me go back and forth thru the beautiful city Shibuya is.
 I was thus thinking,
the fact you see something (you do, or you just know you'll always be able to) shouldn't make

you forget how outstanding it is, and that some people have to come from faaaar away to be

able to do so (something I forgot to do with Paris maybe....).

So, now frankly speaking,

Shibuya is better that New York. What "No"? Whay "Don't you say that"?

No-Yes-Come on I say-what-I-wanna-say "What What""Okay bring it on"

"Don't You daaaare"

Haha, Okay, no, seriously I mean It.

Shibuya is the noise's nirvana. The sleeping pills' hell. And it's just so cool.

In a childish way.

It's just "Oh, Ah, Eee" All around (The last Eee is the Japanese one indeed ^___^)

Here you have an update version of a drawing I've did before, with some variations :D

If you have sometime free between 2 and 3am, just feel free to visit the crossing,

 It would be as agitated as a 2-3pm ^_^

Bye for now, and until soon,

11/06 My Roommate used to know better.

My former roommate used to know better how often this would happen.. .

Quick portrait of a girl in Harajuku.

I'm growing older, but I still love that place. It's like going to Alien's district to me : )

10/04 Unemployment rates in Japan?

Something you can't ignore living in / coming to Japan:

USELESS JOBS

"Come on, that's not useless, that's a way of lowering the unemployment." 

One could say.

But, come on, seriously...

You DO NOT need Ten people in line indicating you that you have to take the escalator which obviously goes up if you wanna go up, 

and the one which obviously goes down 

if you wanna go 

...

down.

As you probably will be happy with, but certainly won't ABSOLUTELY NEED

 Twenty people thanking you for buying a Croissant.

That's a chance we're not required to reply back each one of them with a highly long Japanese "You're welcome"

: )

-"One piece of bread please"
-"Here you are"
...
-"THANK YOU FOR BUYING"
(x20!!) UNLEASH THE FURYYY xD!!

11/05 Off Tokyo, to the Sea.

Those times you need to go off to explore new horizons.
