PhotoHunt: Original
Posted on September 28, 2007 - Filed Under Photohunt | 35 Comments
This was my first attempt to get a close-up image using my faithful cellphone camera…I had a good laugh while taking this one because I did some awkward positions just to get a good shot with just my cellphone while the others had their powerful SLR cameras in tripods! This was also the first picture […]

I have no idea what “Diyandi” means but it’s St. Michael Archangel fiesta in Iligan City and is celebrated every 29th of September.
I was still in highschool when I last experienced this merrymaking and I love to see it again, especially now that the city government has done so much to make it merrier and […]

Posted on September 27, 2007 - Filed Under Meme | 1 Comment
A philanthropist awards you $50,000 with the stipulation that you may use half of it for yourself and the other half you must use for the benefit of others. By “benefit of others” it can mean anything really, buying a gift for a family member or donating to a charity.

Most of the time I catch my self complaining that I don’t earn enough, that my salary is way too low for an OFW working in the I.T. field, and that many of my acquaintances earn a lot more than me. Then thinking about my hometown always leaves me feeling ashamed of my self…

Relationship Facts
Posted on September 24, 2007 - Filed Under Books, Opinionated Me, Sentiments | 6 Comments
“Men and women are supposed to be different.” *I should have known and accepted this fact before my past (and only) relationship crumbled. If I had known this, this would have made a big difference and that relationship might have been salvaged.
I have just started reading the book “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from […]

Went to the movies again with Akane-san. This time, I’m more daring to take pictures that I even managed to take some inside the theater….I won’t write much about Fantastic 4 here. Anyway, the movie was ok, Jessica Alba was very sexy and Silver Surfer was really cool. ^-^

Just another rant on the food cost difference between the Philippines and Japan… However, I could not really compare the prices because I’ve never been to a Subway restaurant in the Philippines. ^-^
The meal on the picture cost 580 Yen (around 232 Pesos). The wrapped one is an egg roll and it […]

I just love collecting travel brochures! Unfortunately, the ones that I could get here are all in Nihongo! The pictures are just so lovely to look at that I don’t mind getting a headache when I attempt to read the Kanji characters. ^-^
For quite some time, I’ve been thinking of joining PhotoHunt but I […]
Scary encounter

Japanese guy: Firipin kara desu ka? (Are you from the Philippines?)Me & Idel: Hai
It was really strange when that Japanese guy threw that question at us as he sat next to me on the train home. Idel was lucky because she was seated at the leftmost part, while I was squeezed between […]

“Don’t take a bath on Tuesdays and Fridays…Don’t cut your nails at night. For these will bring you bad luck”. “Don’t step over someone younger than you (especially children). He/she will not grow taller.” “If you eat chicken neck, you will always be on the lookout for a good looking guy/gal, thus, always stretching your […]

The train arrived at Seishin Chuo station at 9:50AM. I had to be at the office at 10:00PM. Guess I had to dash into the office again. Then I saw many Japanese officemates (who are in the same floor as me). Some of them smiled at me.
Officemate: Hello Shiera-san!Me: Hi! Running again to the office, […]

When I am really glued to a movie, anime, or a drama, I’d rather watch it while comfortably snuggled in my futon. One reason is that my chair is far from being comfy and it’s impossible to watch from afar because my PC has just an ordinary LCD screen. Thus, it is completely […]

This is the shōtengai (商店街) in Sannomiya, Kobe.
If you’re visiting a certain place in Japan that has no malls, don’t fret. Most likely, it has a shōtengai - a commercial district that usually connects to a train station. Connected - meaning, you could find your way to the station by just following the […]
