luxury : August 18 2024

sunday, i was supposed to go out shopping in some outlet mall in a far off place.
we are supposed to depart at 8 am, and that is the problem.
normally that time is fine, but i had a pretty hard time getting to sleep last night.
i was drowsing all through the night until 5 am.
good thing i told my roommate to not wait for me and just go ahead if i don't wake up on time.
as the universe flowed its due course, i woke up at 10 am.
they were all gone, of course.

i decided to have a little trip of my own that night.
i intitally intended for it to be a little earlier but time flew by so fast, i reached the noodle shop around 18 pm.
it will be a high calorie day, i suppose.
it was a sunday after all, a rest day so might as well indulge.
ordered mazesoba, a soupless noodle based dish where all toppings are to be mixed in before you eat.
i have been trying to order this in dish in this shop in the past but i have always ordered wrongly, i finally succeeded this time and it was great.

as i have the luxury of time, i proceeded to ride our local tram line to the shopping district i sent to yesterday, ikebukuro.
i had all this little plans in my head as to where to go to and what to do first.
the tram finally came and oh boy, it was a 45 minute ride.
i knew it will be slow but i never knew it was that slow.
but i got the luxury of time in my hands, that is nothing to fret.
i sat quietly on the bench and drowsed of as usual, i get instantly sleepy when riding on a moving vehicle.

i finally reached my stop, but it was quiet far off from the entertainment area.
and it started to drizzle a bit, there was no rain prediction on the weather application, this was a bummer.
no wonder the people who also went off the tram scattered like their asses were on fire the moment they went out.
but i had to check the map first, i am not familiar with this place.
i was on the far side of town.
but though it was far from the usual busy area, there were a couple of great looking restaurants in the area.
a fish and grill restaurant was what it said, but i already ate so i went on and got on track as planned.
i may have the luxury of time, but that is all the luxury i have got; the restaurant looked polished and will probably cost a luxury.

i finally reached the familiar crowded place, those neon lights are like home to my eyes by now.
i have been here two days in a row, just like a stroll in my backyard.
so off i went to the thrift store for anime related stuff, games, cds, books; book off is the name.
searched for a good action figure but couldn't find any.
found a vintage puzzle of coca cola: a 2000+ mini piece puzzle.
i really weighed long, but finally decided not to.
i was not a big fan of the drink and the puzzle was a pop art of the brand's logo over the years and the iconic bottle shapes.
if it were just some piece of art, i would have bought it in an instant.

i proceeded to the book section, searched for an english one.
this book off branch did not have a wide collection, there was not much.
they had many picture books and large encyclopedia looking things, but the literary selection where so few and scattered.
i scanned through the 4 mini shelves of the english collection they had, i found a quite interesting title: something about the loneliness of prime numbers.
skimmed a bit, it was a love story; placed it back down.
i was there for hours, i had the luxury of time after all.

went out and went in a clothes shop, found nothing of interest after spending some more luxurious time.
it was then where i realized that the plant shop i planned to visit closes early.
oh shoot!
should have spent my luxurious time checking for plants.
too late, i went home empty handed.

but i still had some luxurious time left, i went off three stops away and walked.
as always, AMPING KANUNAY!
