赤ちゃん [akachan]: the Japanese word for “infant” or “baby“.
This came from the word 赤い [akai], which refers to the color RED.

Aside from web mails and blogs, here’s a list of other websites that I often visit:
1.) Like many of the internet surfers, I am very dependent on Google. I have even set it as my homepage, both at home and in the office.
2.) If I’m sure that Google would just give me a link to […]

It seems like my titles are getting cheesier… Anyway, I just would like to show you these pictures of miniatures by National. They have this exhibit in the building that I pass through on my way home. Since there’s a tower in the middle, I assumed that this is the miniature of a place […]

Another fun tag! This “what’s on my desktop” tag came from Imagica.To those who are not really into anime, that’s Naruto. He is one of my top-3 anime idols. Naruto of Naruto, Luffy of One Piece and Ichigo of Bleach take turns in gracing my desktop.

I was tagged by Rolando to post something about Breast Cancer Awareness last month. I couldn’t let this opportunity pass and invited a wonderful lady to share her story as a breast cancer survivor.

If you’re planning to visit Osaka, don’t do it at the peak of summer. It’s really hot! I think hotter than summer in the Philippines.

I was just fresh out of college when I first came to Japan. First trip abroad - I was really ecstatic. Didn’t thought about how horrible homesickness could be. But I was so blessed to share my adventure with Yohoopips. At least, in them, I found a home in Japan.
Got this from […]

No blogging at work means more sleepy moments. So, to keep me awake, I decided to keep my hands moving - by writing down notes! Technical notes belongs to the computer… but writing down “high-priority” Japanese terms could be fun at times. I only wrote in Hiragana because Kanji characters are still […]

She was my block mate, who then became my roommate and later on turned best friend. One of the kindest person I’ve ever met. I never saw her angry! She’s always calm, composed, graceful (so feminine), patient, and trustworthy. That’s why I really treasure her. She’s also one of my […]

The pictures below show why I fell in love with Seishin-chuo, Kobe (the location of the previous company). I roamed around at lunch break today and took the following pictures. Due to extreme sunlight, some pictures seem to be damaged… I even got a “too much heat” warning from my cellphone! Hope you’ll […]

Today’s my last day in this company and having been here for more than a year is surely making me a bit nostalgic, that I was able to compile 13 things that I’m gonna miss here:
1. My Train Pass! This entitled me to an unlimited train ride from Osaka to Kobe!
2. The not-so-congested trains bound […]
