I’m going home, after all
Posted on May 19, 2008 - Filed Under Family | 30 Comments
It’s almost 6:00AM and I still can’t sleep. Yes, I am going home to the Philippines after a couple of years, but not to have a grand vacation. How I wish that’s the case…
It’s been a few hours since I received the news about my father. At about 10:00PM (Philippine Time) last […]

Here’s my usual junk food supply. I make sure that I have salty and sweet ones. (cheese sticks, curry-flavored Pringles, KitKat, chewing gum, and mochi candies).
A closer look at Japanese (mochi) candies:

A colleague told me about the anime Moyashimon (もやしもん）. Tadayasu Sawaki, the main character, is a freshman at an agricultural university. Tadayasu can see and communicate with microorganisms. The anime is really funny and educational as well. In here, you can see the cutest bacteria ever:
The opening theme is very cute, […]

It’s been more than a month since I’ve posted my last Thursday Thirteen. I’m glad I’ve got the mood to write my list again.
I’ll reveal some of the steps I’ve taken to battle off an enemy for over a decade: acne. I was so desperate (and still am), that I even did […]

Every mother out there knows how hard it is to try to live “normally” far from her child. Believe me, it’s really hard. I’ve been away from my precious Shaynna for almost two years, so I don’t feel at all deserving to be called a mother. Well, technically, I am. But…
Sentiments aside, […]
Photohunt: Coffee Buddies

When you’re far from home, it would help a lot if you have someone you can talk to about just anything, over a cup of coffee. But do you know that it’s hard to find a coffee shop here in Osaka that’s open 24 hours? Even the Starbucks cafe in Umeda, Osaka’s main […]

I’ve taken an Inuyasha quiz and here’s what it said:
I know that cute giant dog beside me is not from Inuyasha. At least it’s a character from the anime I am currently watching. Do you know him? Yep, he’s Sadaharu from Gintama.

One of the main reasons for my absences from the blogging world is Inuyasha (犬夜叉). Yes, I’m gaga over this anime. The story’s not yet finished but I’m done watching all of the 167 episodes and the 4 movies.
Inuyasha, the main character of this anime, is a hanyou (half-demon, half human). […]

I enjoy blogging but it is more rewarding if I make money again from my blog. It’s been quite sometime since I did a paid post opportunity, not because I didn’t want to get paid. It was just a bit difficult to grab an opportunity with my ranking plunging to zero since I […]

Some friends were craving for sushi (I have always been crazy about sushi) so I tagged along. There’s no cheap sushi restaurant near our apartment so we had to go to Awaji and it took us about 20 minutes by bicycle to get there.
The sushi comes around on a conveyor belt type counter so […]

The biggest *shotengai in Osaka runs through the Dotonbori, near the Namba station. It’s one of the most crowded places in Osaka. It may be flooded with people, but it’s still one of the most famous meeting places because of this crab, a very effective landmark:
