Aside from web mails and blogs, here’s a list of other websites that I often visit: 1.) Like many of the internet surfers, I am very dependent on Google. I have even set it as my homepage, both at home and in the office. 2.) If I’m sure that Google would just give me a [...]
It seems like my titles are getting cheesier… Anyway, I just would like to show you these pictures of miniatures by National. They have this exhibit in the building that I pass through on my way home. Since there’s a tower in the middle, I assumed that this is the miniature of a place in [...]

If you’re planning to visit Osaka, don’t do it at the peak of summer. It’s really hot! I think hotter than summer in the Philippines. Taken August 2006, Osaka Castle grounds
I was just fresh out of college when I first came to Japan. First trip abroad – I was really ecstatic. Didn’t thought about how horrible homesickness could be. But I was so blessed to share my adventure with Yohoopips. At least, in them, I found a home in Japan. Got this from Florence:Didn’t really [...]

No blogging at work means more sleepy moments. So, to keep me awake, I decided to keep my hands moving – by writing down notes!
