Image from Wikipedia“All is one… One is all”You’d definitely know what this means if you have watched Fullmetal Alchemist. Yes, it’s an addition to my anime favorites. ^-^ To those who are not familiar with this anime, here’s a brief overview:(Note: The anime’s story is different from that of the manga’s)In this anime/manga series, alchemy [...]
This was my first attempt to get a close-up image using my faithful cellphone camera…I had a good laugh while taking this one because I did some awkward positions just to get a good shot with just my cellphone while the others had their powerful SLR cameras in tripods! This was also the first picture [...]
I have no idea what “Diyandi” means but it’s St. Michael Archangel fiesta in Iligan City and is celebrated every 29th of September. I was still in highschool when I last experienced this merrymaking and I love to see it again, especially now that the city government has done so much to make it merrier [...]
A philanthropist awards you $50,000 with the stipulation that you may use half of it for yourself and the other half you must use for the benefit of others. By “benefit of others” it can mean anything really, buying a gift for a family member or donating to a charity. Got tagged by Grace so [...]
This entry should have been posted a week ago! But due to our blogging spree, Idel and I completely forgot about it… We’ve been working in this company for 1 year and 1 week! Happy anniversary to us!This company is soooo lucky to have us. hehehe So, what happened to me since working here? In [...]
Most of the time I catch my self complaining that I don’t earn enough, that my salary is way too low for an OFW working in the I.T. field, and that many of my acquaintances earn a lot more than me. Then thinking about my hometown always leaves me feeling ashamed of my self… More [...]

If I had known this, this would have made a big difference and that relationship might have been salvaged. I have just started reading the book “Men Are from Mars, Women Are [...]
Went to the movies again with Akane-san. This time, I’m more daring to take pictures that I even managed to take some inside the theater….I won’t write much about Fantastic 4 here. Anyway, the movie was ok, Jessica Alba was very sexy and Silver Surfer was really cool. ^-^
Just another rant on the food cost difference between the Philippines and Japan… However, I could not really compare the prices because I’ve never been to a Subway restaurant in the Philippines. ^-^ The meal on the picture cost 580 Yen (around 232 Pesos). The wrapped one is an egg roll and it tasted ok. [...]
I just love collecting travel brochures! Unfortunately, the ones that I could get here are all in Nihongo! The pictures are just so lovely to look at that I don’t mind getting a headache when I attempt to read the Kanji characters. ^-^ For quite some time, I’ve been thinking of joining PhotoHunt but I [...]
Japanese guy: Firipin kara desu ka? (Are you from the Philippines?)Me & Idel: Hai It was really strange when that Japanese guy threw that question at us as he sat next to me on the train home. Idel was lucky because she was seated at the leftmost part, while I was squeezed between her and [...]
“Don’t take a bath on Tuesdays and Fridays…Don’t cut your nails at night. For these will bring you bad luck”. “Don’t step over someone younger than you (especially children). He/she will not grow taller.” “If you eat chicken neck, you will always be on the lookout for a good looking guy/gal, thus, always stretching your [...]
