I’ve caught the American Idol fever and of course, my favorite is Ramiele Malubay. Aside from being a Filipina, I eventually became a fan upon hearing her sing You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me. However, after that performance, she had poor song choices. Last Tuesday, she sang “Alone”. The […]

Despite the deadline to catch, I sometimes feel so bored and sleepy. How do I usually overcome this? I either drink tons of coffee or observe the people around me. There’s no partition between the desks so it’s very tempting to do this.
Here’s a list of people who sometimes entertain me pique […]

Posted on March 26, 2008 - Filed Under Simply Osaka, Wordless Wednesday | 11 Comments
This wouldn’t be wordless anymore but I was just happy with the output of my phone camera’s macro mode. I’ve finally tried using this feature to take close-up shots of peach blossoms at Osaka Castle Park.

One Cellphone
Posted on March 25, 2008 - Filed Under Experiences in Japan | 4 Comments
Here’s a situation:
You’re in Japan, and your Japanese speaking skill is still incomprehensible. Then you find a cellphone on your way home. Would you pick it up or just pretend that you didn’t see it?
I was on my way home when I found a cellphone lying along the path. After much deliberation, I pretended not […]
Photohunt: Metal

I’ve always thought that mannequins are made of either wood or plastic. But there’s this high-end shop center here in Osaka that has mannequins that appear to be made of metal. I haven’t touched it but it sure does appear metallic to me…

MP3 players - Almost everyone has an MP3 player and I’ve been wanting one since I arrived here. I badly needed one especially when I was working in Kobe. The 4-hour travel to and from work was so boring. But I have priorities so I was just contented visiting the […]

I can now see some pink colors from the ladies’ toilet at the office. I don’t want to miss the peach blossoms so I went out during lunch break to take a walk at the Osaka Castle Park. Well, I was actually running because I only had about 25 minutes! I wish I could […]

“St. Valentine’s Day in Japan is a day when women give the special men in their lives boxes of chocolate. To balance out the one-sidedness of this practice, White Day was invented for men to reciprocate such gifts. While Valentine’s Day is an imported convention, White Day (on March 14) is a purely Japanese creation.” […]

Which one?
Posted on March 11, 2008 - Filed Under Things I love | 6 Comments
I’ve always been crazy about Korean Drama. The last one I watched was “The Vineyard Man”, the story of Ji Hyun, a city girl who fell in love with the farmer who was raised by her grandfather.
The city girl was portrayed by Yoon Eun Hye, who was also the lead actress in Goong (Princess Hours) […]
Ochita
Posted on March 10, 2008 - Filed Under Ooopppssss | 6 Comments
Difficult situations often make a person learn something new and stick it to his mind. This is usually the case, well, at least for me.
The Japanese word “ochita”, is the past tense and colloquial form of the word “ochiru”.
ochiru (落ちる) means:
(1) to fall down; to drop; (2) to fail (e.g. exam); (3) to crash; to […]
Defective faucet?
Posted on March 7, 2008 - Filed Under At work, Experiences in Japan | 7 Comments
Just like many things here, the faucets in our office’s toilet are sensor-activated. Once you move your hands away from it, the water immediately stops flowing. For my 3-month stay with the current company, never did one of them failed until that weird incident.
I’ve been busy at work lately that I need to stay in […]
