I’ve caught the American Idol fever and of course, my favorite is Ramiele Malubay. Aside from being a Filipina, I eventually became a fan upon hearing her sing You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me. However, after that performance, she had poor song choices. Last Tuesday, she sang “Alone”. The song was an excellent [...]
Despite the deadline to catch, I sometimes feel so bored and sleepy. How do I usually overcome this? I either drink tons of coffee or observe the people around me.

MP3 players – Almost everyone has an MP3 player and I’ve been wanting one since I arrived here. I badly needed one especially when I was working in Kobe. The 4-hour travel to and from work was so boring. But I have priorities so I was just contented visiting the electronics store and try out [...]
I can now see some pink colors from the ladies’ toilet at the office. I don’t want to miss the peach blossoms so I went out during lunch break to take a walk at the Osaka Castle Park. Well, I was actually running because I only had about 25 minutes! I wish I could go [...]

To balance out the one-sidedness of this practice, White Day was invented for men to reciprocate such gifts.
