I wish I were a beauty queen

I was on my way to the Osaka train station when I passed by the activity hall in a department store. H.I.S., one of the largest travel agencies here in Japan, had some sort of promotions. I really had no idea what it was exactly. But the people on stage caught my […]

Posted on December 21, 2008 - Filed Under Reviews | 10 Comments
For years, I have had this problem with acne. I have tried out dozens of ways to make them disappear for good. Then my flatmate recommended taking birth control pills! She told me that she also had the same problem so she went to a dermatologist. The prescription did not include any […]

I have always believed that athletes just loose weight the “natural way”. I had thought that all of them are just too disciplined to stop themselves from indulging in food like my favorite cheese cake, and that they are too dedicated to their exercise regime, thus avoiding weight gain. I was once again very […]

I think everyone loves Christmas decors. There’s this one department store in Osaka that has wide display spaces to put up Christmas decors such as this one:

I have been to a casino only once. It was when a close friend took me with her to the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu. I didn’t have money to burn, so all I did was act like I was her chaperon. At that time, I was amazed at the tension and excitement […]

“What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.”
-Agnes M. Pharo
Just like what Agnes M. Pharo said, Christmas is a fervent wish for peace. […]

Future Plans

Most of my friends and I have worked here in Japan for more than a couple of years. Just like almost every Filipino working abroad, we don’t intend on growing old outside our native homeland. We sometimes talk over some things and daydream about what we want to do when that time comes. Some […]

Many things kept me from blogging constantly these days. I do have many drafts but somehow, I just can’t finish writing them.
Anyway, it’s almost Christmas and many Filipino friends are going home on Saturday so we had our Christmas party last December 13th. 14 Filipinos and 5 Japanese joined the party so basically […]
Kris Kringle Online
Posted on December 15, 2008 - Filed Under Lifestyle | 1 Comment
I’ve always loved Kris Kringle and for Christmas parties where people don’t often meet, it is very hard to organize one. Gone were the days where we have to write down our names on a sheet of paper, place them on a box, gather everyone, and draw names. The web has completely eradicated […]

I know I’m almost a week late on my post about the Pacquaio vs. De La Hoya match, but I just can’t let it pass without writing anything about it.
Just like many boxing lovers out there, I was very excited about the match. In fact, I’ve also took a kind of preparation which proved […]
Ideal Christmas Vacation
Posted on December 12, 2008 - Filed Under Extras | 1 Comment
As long as I spend Christmas vacation with my family, then it’s the best vacation that I could I ever have. Not just with my direct family, but it would be much better to be around many relatives this season. When I was still in the Philippines, I usually hold a children’s Christmas party, with […]

I was in a hurry this morning so all I had for breakfast and lunch were these:
I wish there’s a Wendy’s near my apartment. This bacon cheese burger of Lotteria is sooo small (only about 4 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches thick) but it costs four times more than the 99-yen BBQ and […]

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”
- Oogway, Kung Fu Panda
This is one of my favorite quotes and I hope I could think as positively as this one. I can’t deny it. I’m a pessimist, I worry too much even if I […]
Thursday Thirteen #19

I’m out of toiletries among other things, so I asked my mother to send me some from the Philippines.
Here are the things that I often have my mother send me here:
1. dried fish (Bisaya term is “bulad”)
I could find some “bulad” in the supermarkets here but they’re not salty enough.
2. junk foods
I was into “Chippy” […]

I’d never liked boxing before. I thought it was such a brutal sport. I hated watching two people hitting each other. But this changed when Filipino boxers started to conquer international boxing rings, especially when Manny “Pacman” Pacquaio started to show his boxing prowess to the world. I’ve watched Pacman’s matches […]

Who doesn’t like free stuffs? I love receiving and keeping promotional items. I know that many of such items aren’t made of high-quality materials but I like uncommon prints on pens, mugs and bags. I think pen brand names on pens are just way too boring (I know I sound illogical). But like […]
