What do I really want to do? What do I really want to happen with my life? I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and it’s a bit alarming that I really don’t know the answer to these questions. Of course, like most people, I want good things to happen. But what are those [...]

I wish I could dance like Demi Sorono. She joined the “So You Think You Can Dance” in Australia, and currently one of the final four contestants. Watching American Idol or Pinoy Idol makes me want to become a singer, and watching this video makes me wish I were a dancer!

Arnel Pineda, Charice Pempengco, and Ramiele Malubay, recently put Philippines into the world map, as some people say. Yet, another talented Filipino, Madonna Decena, stepped out and awed the judges and the audience at Britain’s Got Talent. Even the hard-to-please Simon Cowell was blown away by her amazing rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always [...]

Check out the Wordless Wednesday HQ Everybody loves Sakura! Since I was not able to visit Arashiyama this year to see the Sakura trees, I don’t have new Arashiyama photos to share. This photo was taken last year at Arashiyama, courtesy of Idel and Kagz.

I was in my early 20′s when I “discovered” that there’s more to pasta than just tomato sauce-based spaghetti and baked macaroni. You see, my mother only prepares the spaghetti with tomato sauce and ground beef/pork. When we eat out, we don’t go to Italian restaurants (and there’s no Italian restaurant in Iligan City). We [...]

Got tagged by Elaine The Rules: Name 11 people you can think of right off the top of your head. Don’t read the questions underneath until you write the names of all the 11 people. This is a lot funnier if you actually randomly list the names first. No cheating. 1. Mr. T 2. Shaynna [...]

I love spring because of the Sakura and all those flowers blooming everywhere. But, I don’t like it because it rains almost everyday. Anyway, lately I’ve been to some rivers here in Osaka and I’ve taken some photos. It’s kind of nostalgic but I think rivers, buildings, bridges, and gloomy weather go well together. The [...]

I’ve been out of work since April 1st. So far, together with other colleagues, I’ve been to 4 interviews. So far, no feedback from those companies. I would have cared less if the interviews were in a language that I could easily and totally comprehend. But no, I’m in my dumbest state during interviews because [...]

I thought I’d never see more Sakura this year. I planned on going to Kyoto but I canceled it because of the rain. I still don’t have a new job but I had other things that kept busy so I’ve been away from blogging world for a few days, and I didn’t have much time [...]
