Memories that are nothing yet mean everything.
- taken from “S Diary”
“S Diary” is a Korean film about a woman who decides to interrogate her past lovers about why their relationships failed. However, their answers hurt her so much that provoked her to get back at them. Her revenge went out well but it didn’t ease her heartaches. The movie ended with her becoming an author of the book entitled “Memories that are nothing yet mean everything”. It ended with her still in search of what love really means.
In the movie, it seemed that her ex-lovers were just toying with her but they actually cared for her at first. It just didn’t work out well. Her first love decided to pursue priesthood, the second one married another for financial stability, and the third one is an irresponsible, two-timing mama’s boy. Is she just so unlucky in love, or is true love really hard to find?

The first video game console that I’ve ever played with was an Atari ST. I can still remember the petty fights with my younger brother due to game preferences. Then our parents bought us a Nintendo Family Computer. As expected, my brother was superior and I always end up as an underdog. So he often got to choose the kind of game. When the PlayStation 1 was released, our father brought home one, my brother hogged it all. I didn’t even get to hold the joystick once. At that time, I was into playing PC games such as The Sims and Caesar II. The playstation 3 has been released and I don’t have a single idea what kind of games I could play with it. Nor am I interested. Is this a sign of aging? I hope not…

Pay day is almost here. My friends and I are really excited about placing our second batch of orders to that Filipino store in Tokyo. This time, we are gonna buy lots of canned and bottled products from the Philippines. Of course, large bottles of soy sauce and vinegar are necessities to cook the real Filipino taste of adobo. We will also get tons of the ever famous sinigang mix. I will definitely get packs of my favorite junk foods. I think one of my friend is going to buy some weight loss pills. That Filipino store also sell whitening products!

I frequently keep myself updated with what’s going on in the Philippines. Here’s what has been haunting everyone during this terrible economic slowdown:

Thousands of people are becoming jobless. Many Filipinos here in Japan are being sent back to the Philippines. Some of them are my acquaintances. We might be doing small home-based projects now, but we’re constantly in the “danger zone”…

I just want to share what I had for dinner…

Yes, an all-time Filipino favorite and my most prized food bought from a Filipino store in Tokyo: spicy longganisa! Because of this store, I’m pretty sure I will have a hard time controlling my appetite.

I’m currently loaded with work right now so, I might as well feature these quotes:
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
- Confucius (BC 551-BC 479).
“It is quite possible to work without results, but never will there be results without work.”
- Unknown Source
