The updates usually happen around 2AM my time. (It's 1AM now)

My Director disappeared off my page 2 days ago (Tokyo days) ... I can do a search & find her, but she's not yet showing up on the Director tab! It's crazy. LOL I know she's counting because I can see her team's sales in my organizational sales total. But I'm ready to see her name actually on my screen again!

I did see that the "paid as" points posted on the incentives tracker! And to answer our previous debate they did go on the 2010 calculator, not the 2011.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to really enjoy the "official" change yesterday. I learned that a young friend (20-21 years old) had a seizure in his sleep and passed away.

He's someone I've met here on the military base in Japan. He was a super sweet guy. Didn't drink, didn't smoke, wasn't into anything dangerous, etc. He was just an all around great kid that was loved by everyone who met him.

He was obese, so I'm wondering if his weight played a factor in his death.

I spent most of he day just so sad over the news that PC was the last thing on my mind. There was a huge party last night that I had RSVP'd to last month. I seriously considered cancelling, but realized that since his mother is a member of the group that everyone in attendance would be feeling the loss too. So I went ahead & attended. His Mom opted not to come, but told all of her close friends to go and have fun, so they were all there doing the best that they could to enjoy themselves for the night and put aside all the sadness for a few hours.

There's a memorial service on Tuesday, but it will just be our JATA group. JATA stands for Japanese American Tomodochi Association (Tomodochi = friend). Michael was the president of the American side of the group so our whole group is mourning his passing. We've been told that his family will not be in attendance for the memorial. They will be mourning privately in their home that evening.

Here's a photo I took recently of him. One of the Japanese girls handed him her PINK cell phone & I was laughing at him:

And a video from the same night. He & I and 2 other girls left the fireworks display early & headed back to our base. We thought we were beating the subway crowd, but were not so lucky! We were amazed at how packed the subway was. The cops were acutally lined up outside the door of the subway in a line PUSHING people on the train to get as many on as they could. I took the video after we were already moving. You can hear Michael at the end saying that he can count 7 people touching him. Tokyo Subway
