It’s a little bit late, but
I’ve been rambling about the additional pounds gained for the last six weeks. I really need to take action soon or else I will be in danger of getting back to my post-natal figure! I need to take a weight loss pill! Just kidding. I really do not mind sweating it all out especially now [...]
You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. ~ Sam Keen The heart has reasons that reason does not understand. ~ Jacques Benigne Bossuel Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction. ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Let’s just keep this between us, OK? I’m really, really scared of getting on roller coasters and the like. During an educational trip when I was still in college, we went to the Enchanted Kingdom in the Philippines. I was about to be seated on the Space Shuttle but I backed out at the last [...]
Working on a home-based project has its advantages and disadvantages. I am not an early riser so flexi-time is really good for me. But working at home is messing with what’s left of my self-discipline. Since the year 2009 started, I’ve been waking up at 10:00AM! I can deal with this one but I can’t [...]
My flatmate and I signed up for Yahoo BB ADSL more than two years ago. At that time, we didn’t just get some promotional pens, but we got a gift certificate worth 10,000 Yen and free internet for the first two months. I don’t know how it is in other countries, but here in Japan, [...]
Some of you might have heard of the “ore ore sagi” here in Japan. Just an overview, I took this from the article written by Rev. Ai Hironaka: “In Japan, males refer to themselves as boku or ore, so ore ore sagi is fraud committed by males pretending to be sons or grandsons in need [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo hunt entry! I’ve been very busy these past few weeks that I didn’t have much time browsing through my photos. Fortunately, I have lots of photos of bridges so I get to join today. Osaka has many rivers, thus, it has lots of bridges, too. Here’s [...]
The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. – Irving Berlin Many people say that people who have constantly faced failure have a hard time getting back up again and again. But I also think that people who have been successful have their own share of struggles. After [...]
I’ve been faithfully watching American Idol since Season 8 started. I love watching the auditions because it is very entertaining. Above all, I look forward to seeing and hearing Simon’s reactions. He is brutally honest but he is my favorite judge. If only I could join the auditions, I would have tried at least once [...]
I have always been amazed by the displays at restaurants here so I always take loads of photos. They look so real that they could make your mouth water… Check out the Wordless Wednesday HQWhen I first saw these 7 years ago, I honestly and stupidly thought that these were just preserved food! Yep, embarrassing, [...]
The Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is just a few stations away from where I live. I’ve lived in Osaka for more than 2 years and I haven’t been there. Finally, last Sunday, Kay and I took advantage of the one-year pass promo at USJ. USJ usually put the one-year pass on sale around November to [...]
