Japan is relatively safe. But when you talk with the Japanese people, most of them would say that crime rate here in Osaka is the highest in all of Japan. Surely, I’ve read news report on cases of theft. Strangely, I have heard rumors on stolen undies. There were also cases of stalking and rapes. [...]
“Love is the most beautiful of dreams and the worst of nightmares.“ ~ William Shakespeare I couldn’t agree more with Shakespeare. Falling in love could be the most wonderful thing in a person’s life and changes the person in love. But passing through bumpy roads is inevitable. You would definitely get hurt. The person you [...]
Shaynna is now four years old and most of the time I wish for that day when I could be with her. I wish I could afford to take her to wherever life brings me to. I wish she could see the things that I see here in Japan. I wish I could take her [...]

Lowest temperature here in Osaka today is 9C. I’m supposed to hold off using my heater until last week of November but I guess it’s already too much for me.

I’ve worked in the current company for over a month now. I belong to the same team and I’m still doing the same project. As always, it’s a big feat for me to get up early in the morning and take the almost an hour travel time to the office. The company follows a flextime [...]
What are health supplements for? What are they composed of? What are their benefits and are they in any way harmful to the body? I have never been curious about health supplements until I came across CLA. From the article I’ve read, CLA or Conjugated Linoleic Acid not only gives health benefits but it could [...]
I’ve just had nabe last Monday, but I’m craving for more… particularly Kimchi Nabe. So on my way home, I dropped by the nearest 24-hour supermarket and bought these: I don’t have a nabe pot so I just used an ordinary one. Put everything into it… After letting it stew for a few minutes, I [...]
I’ve never been an early bird. Since I started going to school up to now, rising up early has been a constant struggle. Those who know me from highschool, college, and from my previous companies could attest to this. But if I am left with no other choice, I could force myself up but spend [...]
