Google Earth == Nostalgia
Posted on August 31, 2007 - Filed Under Sentiments | 3 Comments
I’ve always been awed by what Google Earth can do. Playing with it nowadays, brings about emotional stress… it’s making me terribly homesick! Especially if I look at the image below:
Read More..>>Yukatas and Paper Lanterns
Posted on August 30, 2007 - Filed Under Japan: exposed | 3 Comments
Near Seishin Chuo train station:Women and children donning their yukatas is the sight I love most here in Japan. Plus, seeing them dancing beneath the paper lanterns … what a refreshing sight! These are some of the “positive” indicators that I am really here in the Land of the Rising Sun. […]
Read More..>>There’s curry… and more curry!
Posted on August 29, 2007 - Filed Under Food | 6 Comments
What did I have for dinner? Pork curry! I also had curry for breakfast and lunch… then curry for the next 6 meals!
You see, I really don’t like cooking and curry is a bit easier to prepare, especially with the abundance of curry mix here. I usually prepare large quantities so that I wouldn’t […]
Lunar Eclipse? Where?
Posted on August 28, 2007 - Filed Under Experiences in Japan | 2 Comments
Taken from Wikipedia:
We were supposed to witness this rare event but the clouds covered the skies and did not go away until around 10:00PM!
Indeed we saw the moon so round and so huge… but the lunar eclipse was already over. So, I have no choice but to wait for pictures and videos from […]
Men vs. Women
Posted on August 27, 2007 - Filed Under Eye-opener | Leave a Comment
I saw this interesting article from Kerygma Magazine (May 2006 Issue):
A Closer Look at the Differences between Men and Women:
Grapefruit scent will make middle aged women appear six years younger than men. The perception is not reciprocal and the grapefruit scent on men has no effect on women’s perception.
Women blink twice as many times as […]

Posted on August 26, 2007 - Filed Under Simply Osaka, Things I love | 5 Comments
There are lots of cafes and restaurants near our apartment. There’s Starbucks and Yebisu Cafe which I usually pass by on my way home. Yebisu? Actually, it’s the only Yebisu Cafe I’ve ever seen but as I’ve expected, it’s a very good place to hang out… probably better than Starbucks. ^-^The Yebisu cafe…inside, […]

Yatta! I’ve just finished reading the real HP7 book early this evening! And I give it 5/5 stars! The best HP series book ever and I hope they would make the best HP movie from this!
I know I couldn’t make a good spoiler on this so I recommend Grace’s and I’ll just continue […]
Always keep the door locked!
Posted on August 23, 2007 - Filed Under Japan: exposed | 4 Comments
It may appear safe here but I always make sure that the door is locked. And if everyone’s already inside, I always check if the door is chained. I got even more paranoid because of an incident which happened almost a year ago. A guy entered our apartment using a copy of our key! We […]

The 9-day summer vacation is finally over and I am back here in the office fighting off the urge to fall asleep. Now, what have I accomplished during the 9-day break? Apparently, none of those career-beneficial things and zero personal growth attempts ^-^. So, I’ll just list the things I should have done but did […]

Months before the official release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a friend gave me a copy of the supposed book. I was 100% doubtful of its authenticity but I still gave it a go. As I read through it, I was really bothered by how the book focused more on the intimate relationships […]
Read More..>>Still doing these …
Posted on August 21, 2007 - Filed Under Revelations | Leave a Comment
There are a lot of things I have been doing back at home that I still do here in Japan but for different reasons…
At home, I would chain my bike to something stationary, or else I wouldn’t see my bike again. In here, I chain my bike to something stationary for fear that the […]

Posted on August 20, 2007 - Filed Under At work | 2 Comments
Weeks ago, I said my sayonara to GMail and Yahoo! Mail. After over a week of summer vacation, I tried accessing my blog in the office… and the shout box was replaced with a disturbing display that it was blocked! I’m afraid that soon they’ll also block blogspot or even wordpress so I have […]
Read More..>>Right hand, please
Posted on August 19, 2007 - Filed Under Ooopppssss | 2 Comments
I made an embarrassing mistake at the train station today. There were so many things going through my head and I was in a hurry that I didn’t notice using my left hand to insert the ticket at the machine. Of course it’s OK to use the left hand… but, I entered into […]

Posted on August 18, 2007 - Filed Under Eye-opener | 1 Comment
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” or “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart“… What happened to these quotes now?
Man’s, or should we say mass media’s measure of beauty drove lots of women to plastic surgeries and cause many cases of anorexia. In short, it […]

Just couldn’t sleep without fulfilling at least one broken promise…
Child labor is a serious issue we have been facing in the Philippines. Despite the meager efforts of the government, children laborers are present almost everywhere, including sugar-cane plantations.

Good or Bad?
Posted on August 16, 2007 - Filed Under Revelations, Sentiments | 2 Comments
For more than 2 decades of trying to attain the best person that I could be, I’d have to say I’m still a big failure. Why? That big pride always gets on the way.
I had met a really, really good friend… could be my soul mate (SM). SM has been a part of […]
Not here… not now!

I’ve been putting off the last few episodes of Naruto and when I finally decided to watch the episodes, I couldn’t stop watching it. So, I ended up sleeping at early dawn. Then at around 11:30am, the alarm went off and I received a few messages from friends that we are meeting at […]
