What do I really want to do?
What do I really want to happen with my life?
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and it’s a bit alarming that I really don’t know the answer to these questions.
Of course, like most people, I want good things to happen. But what are those good things? […]
I Wish I Could …

I wish I could dance like Demi Sorono. She joined the “So You Think You Can Dance” in Australia, and currently one of the final four contestants. Watching American Idol or Pinoy Idol makes me want to become a singer, and watching this video makes me wish I were a dancer!

Another Filipina Awed Simon Cowell
Posted on April 24, 2008 - Filed Under Philippines | 5 Comments
Arnel Pineda, Charice Pempengco, and Ramiele Malubay, recently put Philippines into the world map, as some people say. Yet, another talented Filipino, Madonna Decena, stepped out and awed the judges and the audience at Britain’s Got Talent. Even the hard-to-please Simon Cowell was blown away by her amazing rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I […]

Everybody loves Sakura! Since I was not able to visit Arashiyama this year to see the Sakura trees, I don’t have new Arashiyama photos to share. This photo was taken last year at Arashiyama, courtesy of Idel and Kagz.

I was in my early 20’s when I “discovered” that there’s more to pasta than just tomato sauce-based spaghetti and baked macaroni. You see, my mother only prepares the spaghetti with tomato sauce and ground beef/pork. When we eat out, we don’t go to Italian restaurants (and there’s no Italian restaurant in Iligan […]

The Rules:
Name 11 people you can think of right off the top of your head. Don’t read the questions underneath until you write the names of all the 11 people. This is a lot funnier if you actually randomly list the names first. No cheating.
1. Mr. T
2. Shaynna
3. Mama
4. Lola
5. Bimbim

Of Rivers, Bridges, and Buildings

I love spring because of the Sakura and all those flowers blooming everywhere. But, I don’t like it because it rains almost everyday. Anyway, lately I’ve been to some rivers here in Osaka and I’ve taken some photos. It’s kind of nostalgic but I think rivers, buildings, […]

The best site to catch up with Philippine TV shows.

I’ve been out of work since April 1st. So far, together with other colleagues, I’ve been to 4 interviews. So far, no feedback from those companies. I would have cared less if the interviews were in a language that I could easily and totally comprehend. But no, I’m in my dumbest […]

I thought I’d never see more Sakura this year. I planned on going to Kyoto but I canceled it because of the rain. I still don’t have a new job but I had other things that kept busy so I’ve been away from blogging world for a few days, and I didn’t have […]

Osaka Castle Park and Sakura
Posted on April 7, 2008 - Filed Under Simply Osaka, Spring | 5 Comments
The weather was great last Saturday so I went to Osaka Castle Park to take pictures. The Japanese love to do “hanami” or Sakura viewing, so the park was crowded. I couldn’t get decent photos of Sakura because some of the food stalls were placed near the trees. I […]

I think I already wrote something about The Vineyard Man. I like Yoon Eun Hye in The Princess Hours so I searched for her other dramas and came across The Vineyard Man. Her drama, The Coffee Prince was also OK but my favorite is the Vineyard Man. The story is predictable but […]

Extreme politeness or just plain rudeness?
Yesterday, our leader informed us that our project’s over. So, when I was heading to work this morning, I was (a little bit) looking forward to a new task. When I reached the office, I was rendered speechless when Idel told me that our contract with the company […]
