I love strolling in the mall and if only I have money to burn, I prefer shopping a lot more. I usually go to the children’s department first, look around for dresses and toys for Shaynna and add it on my wish list. I then go to the ladies’ section, browse over clothes and try [...]

Just a quick update.  Last Tuesday, I bid sayonara to my home of almost 3 years. I am no longer in Japan.  Sad but it’s a reality I have to face.  However, what lies ahead of me is something better. I will post detailed updates soon. Thank you for dropping by.

I have mentioned a thousand times that I prefer winter over summer. Better yet, autumn! But there is one thing that I don’t like in cold temperature: static shock. I love wearing knitted clothes but wearing them means more static electricity for me. It constantly happens to me that I wish plastic knobs are used [...]

Let me give you a short recap. Valentine’s Day here in Japan is a lucky day for the guys. They receive chocolates from the ladies, some of which are just “obligatory” chocolates, some are expressions of love. “Obligatory” chocolates are just those generic chocolates and are usually given without special wrapper. Whereas expression-of-love-chocolates are the [...]

I passed by a famous high-end department store here in Osaka and I couldn’t help but take a photo of this very interesting display…

I often watch TV Patrol news programme to know what is going on in the country. But as I have always anticipated, all I could hear are political and graft and corruption issues.  There’s also the issue with a pre-need plan company. It has been going on for months and the blame has been passed [...]

Can’t get this song out of my head because I heard it live a while ago! Yes, Journey had a concert here in Osaka! A very good friend paid for my ticket so I had the chance to see Arnel Pineda and Journey in action.  Too bad cameras (even phone cameras) are not allowed inside. [...]

I visited the US Bureau of Consular Affairs’ website, and I was surprised to see that Filipinos who wish to apply for a tourist visa in the US don’t have to pay for anything! Yes, the nonimmigrant visa is free! So if you have plans to visit Las Vegas or get one of those Orlando [...]

I am now starting the process of detaching myself from Osaka. The first stop: the Yodogawa (??) or Yodo River. Here are some photos and please bear with the quality. I only used my phone’s camera and it is not that good. I have no idea why the first picture resulted to this… the setting [...]

Enough of being depressed over the bad news. After thinking things over, I have to admit, I have become too comfortable here in Osaka that I’ve been putting off my plans of getting a more stable job. Well, I guess almost everybody does not want to leave his comfort zone. I did exert half-baked efforts [...]

The description below is really good but not even close to it… You Are Influential and Ambitious When You Are Comfortable:You are a glamorous, social person. You love being the center of attention [...]

Lots of shocking news has made me really stressed right now. The most appealing thing to do? Try the Hollywood Dream roller coaster ride at the Universal Studios Japan and scream at the top of my lungs. That would surely help me get rid a bit of my anxiety.  But since I don’t have the [...]
