Didn’t have time to take a photo of something messy so I browsed through my collection and found these photos of messy Shaynna:

I wasn’t that adventurous on food during my first stay here in 2001-2002. But this time, I’m braver at trying out food and drinks that I considered weird. Here’s a list of food and drinks that I find interesting. Most of these are now my favorites.
1.) Green tea ice creamAs you open the […]
Mattress Dwellers

My first home in college was a neat boarding house, but mattresses were not provided, so I had to buy a new one. However, after a few weeks, my roommates and I woke up with itchy and reddish swells all over. Much to our disgust, we discovered that those were doings of bed […]

My alarm went off at 7:00AM but it’s “that time of the month” and I’m having my share of monthly pains. A part of me wanted to go to work, another part screamed that I was supposed to take the day off because it’s Christmas day! In the end, I decided to dwell on the […]

A few more minutes and it’s gonna be Christmas. As I laid down on my bedroom floor, beside me were 5 empty bottles of beer, I thought of home…
Nah, I didn’t drink even a single drop of something alcoholic. First, I only drink when I badly need sleep, but I no longer do that. Second, […]
Christmas Eve 2007
Posted on December 24, 2007 - Filed Under Christmas, Friends, Things I love | Leave a Comment
I went out this afternoon, not with a Japanese guy, but with a Japanese gal and a friend, Akane-san. Since most of the Japanese are not Christians, Christmas here is celebrated not like the way I am used to.
Indeed, some Japanese families now practice gift-giving but for those who are single and/or available, Christmas day […]

07:00 - 08:00 Have light breakfast and heavy chit chats
08:00 - 10:00 I clean the house as ordered, and my mother leaves the house for other tasks.
10:00 - 11:00 […]
Unique Gifts

Gift-giving season is here! Even if I’m away from home, I still prepared a gift list. As I went through the list and if I were home, I would have given a certain person the same gift for years! T-shirts, hankies, wallets, socks - these things have repeatedly appeared in my list.
Furthermore, I guess […]

My parents finally listened to me and put their digital camera into action. But, it’s not always easy to take pictures of Shaynna…

Thursday Thirteen #6

Here my Christmas wishes for those who are closest to me:
1. A trip abroad for my parents. My mother have always wanted to have a passport and a “stamp” on her passport. Also, they haven’t been to a holiday ever. So this would serve as their 30th year honeymoon!
2. Little […]
Worry-free Travel
Posted on December 20, 2007 - Filed Under Reviews | 2 Comments
Traveling should be relaxing and fun. I love to travel but I am really poor at planning, making the limited travel opportunities I got, less enjoyable. It is cool to be spontaneous but I worry a lot so I prefer having carefully-planned travels.
It would really be great to prepare the travel […]

I love doing memes, especially Christmas memes! So I grabbed this onefrom Sandier Pastures:
What is your favorite Christmas gift?A pillow or bolster with Tweety printed on it.
What is your best memory of Christmas?When my father was still working in a company in Iligan City, we go to the company’s Christmas party. All of those parties […]
Rantings of a Frustrated Mother
Posted on December 17, 2007 - Filed Under Sentiments | 5 Comments
Since I had my parents subscribe to broadband internet connection, I make it a point to talk to my family, especially Shaynna, every night. Of course nobody would chat with me for 3 hours straight. Shaynna usually drops by, say hi and play with me by exchanging emoticons, then rush out to play, then “play” […]

Before I started out this blog, I have been trying out dozens of free web hosts. I have always enjoyed trying out different page layouts and selecting colors that best suit me. Above all, I want to have a complete reign of this virtual home.
Now, that this blog is already more than a year old, […]

Didn’t have much time to browse through my pictures so I’m showing you this “small/mini” Tokyo:
Miniatures of the places near Tokyo TowerI wanted to take a picture of the small Tokyo tower but my cellphone’s camera couldn’t zoom in enough.

What If?

This was a pre-Christmas tag from Rolando, then Sani just recently tagged me with it.
What are the 5 gifts you would buy for yourself this Christmas, if you had unlimited income?
Unlimited, you say? So here goes not just my Christmas wishes but these have been my dreams…
1.) Sponsor anyone’s education if he/she deserves it. […]
