Memory Corner | Flashback Friday 4

Memory Corner | Flashback Friday 4

1. You might be confused as to what this picture is all about. If you would look closely, there's a colorful something something up above the tree. That's actually a parrot. What happened was it escaped from its owner and then the owner said that he would give a 5000 pesos grant to the person that would catch and bring back the parrot to the owner. Can I just say that the parrot was really mean because a guy actually attempted to climb that tree but when he was about to grab the parrot, it flew and transferred to a far away tree and yeah.

2. A picture of my sister Mika and I at Manila Bay. Actually, Harbour Square back when we ate somewhere there. If you don't know it already, I'm obsessed with sunset. So even though we can't be seen and recognized in that picture, that picture is precious.

3. Internship! :) I miss everything about internship. This is during my Clinical Microscopy rotation. And also during when we exchanged gifts. As you can see, I'm eating a Krispy Kreme and just checking out my group mate who is studying medicine now by the way. 

4. My lovey Hashi eating her favorite food. Instant noodles. Like whenever I would eat noodles, Hashi would come and wag her tail and stuff and then I got curious and gave her a strand and she loved it. The picture is not actually the first time but whatever.

Pets and Sunset

June 15, 2013 0
Pets and Sunset
Hi guys! I've told you here that the resort we went to on my mum's birthday allow pets to actually go in so we did bring two of our dogs with us. They were such a delight and made the experience kind of different than the usual. In a fun way.

DE HASHI! 
Can I just make kwento a little bit? I didn't document it but Hashi bathed in the bay! Like, she hates shower so we were kind of hesitant if she would go in and the deal is we wouldn't force her to go in but then when we reach the shore or whatever, she went in the water by herself and swimming like a national team swimmer there. We're all looking like her like a proud momma. Except my mum who thought that Hashi would die right away. But it's all good now!

MOCHA IS LOVE
Mocha also bathed but when she came in the room with dad, she was covered with sand particles so mum wasn't happy about that but I bet Mocha really enjoyed that experience as well. Too bad we didn't able to witness it though. 


I don't have much things to tell you guys anymore but I hope y'all enjoy the pictures :). Can I just reiterate that this is probably the most gorgeous sunset I've witnessed. I went out of the room because I wanted to see the sunset and took pictures by myself and when I returned to the room, I saw Mika and asked her to go back with me so that I would have pictures with it and then whilst we're taking pictures, the rest went out as well so I asked my other sister to take pictures with me and Mika  in it as well. And vice versa.

LOVE

ME :)
It's actually kind of odd because I can barely be recognized but you know, whatever! I must have this picture.

PERFECTION
MIKA
Can I just say that when I saw this picture while reviewing the sunset batch, I was kind of proud and happy I took this because it's like unintentionally artsy.

LAST DAY :(
That's where this adventure ends guys I hope you had fun reading or like, seeing the pictures because let's be honest, there are times when we're just all lazy to read shiz and we just want to see pictures. LOL. Have a good day y'all!

Our Faces

May 23, 2013 0
Our Faces
source
This post is just to brag about my talent in copying faces. Just kidding! I used two apps to achieve the looks I've made. Line Camera which I've used to add the head pieces and then Artoon, an app that you can use to kind of copy or make up a look. Actually, there's an app called iMadeFace which serves the same purpose but since that requires iOs 6 and mine is lower, I don't want to mess up with my phone and update my open lined phone because I might not be able to use it again. Okay enough of the kwento.

My youngest sister is probably the easiest that I did because she's simple and I didn't have to use another app to complete the look and stuff. Our eyes are kind of different from each other but I don't have a choice but to make it all the same in the drawing because that's like the closest they have but anyways, that's not really a big deal. I guess I have to mention though that the hair didn't give justice because my youngest sister's hair is probably the nicest so yeah.

This. I am not impressed by this but if I would look at it side by side, it's pretty similar. My sister's lips are a little bit thinner but the shape is perf and the eyes are probably the same but without too much eyeliner and that's it! :) Just for this look, the hair is kind of the same but on a normal day, much similar to mine (below). Oh can I just share a story? This is totally irrelevant but whatever you.


My sister was watching this and she was complaining why the film is so complicated. She was like, "THIS FILM SHOULD BE IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES." And then when I was asking her who is who, she was confused as eff and she was like, "THERE SHOULD ONLY BE THREE CHARACTERS. LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, THE GRANDMOTHER, AND THE WOLF. NO PETER!" LOL. Preach, girl! Preach. 

I had a hard time doing myself. That's what she said. Anyways, I was like really battling what to put on and my youngest sister would be like, not that one and then she would suggest something ugly and I would be like, that's not me and then she would be like, that's totally you. I made myself a little bit prettier, huh? YUP! HOME COURT ADVANTAGE E. HAHAHA Come on! That's all I have to share! I had fun creating these looks and yeah. I would love to do more in the future but this is all I have for you guys right now. Good vibes! :)

Just 3 things.

Just 3 things.
Just a little bit of update guys! :) 


Look! This came in not so long ago and I can't help but to be proud of myself for being able to accomplish such! It was not an easy road so I'm really happy that I've made it! And I have the proof! I know I've described my college journey as such million times already so excuse if I'm being redundant. Although I don't think I would be doing med tech stuff yet but I'm just happy that I have a good and reliable plan B (B for back up plan).

Life is a One Hit Wonder
<div align="center"><a href="http://shikimikie.blogspot.com" title="Life is a One Hit Wonder"><img src="http://s14.postimg.org/ld04ljl01/depositphotos_5650053_pink_floral_background.jpg" alt="Life is a One Hit Wonder" style="border:none;" /></a></div>

I made a "grab button" for my blog. Just for fun! If you're interested in swapping buttons, you can totally ask for it. Or if you just want to put mine on your blog and don't want me to feature yours, that would be fine! This is just for personal blogs though. :) You can either leave a comment down below or just contact me wherever you wish to.I can also make you some other designs if you like. I mean, I may put up some other designs soon so we'll all be happy and diverse and stuff! :D


On other news, since I don't know if I would be able to vote again after I leave the Philippines this September (semi-for good), and since I'm already changing citizenship and stuff, I think I would like to exercise my right to vote this coming election. I had a look at the COMELEC website but that didn't help as much. I knew where my mom and I's precincts are and knew the names of the candidates' but no other information. I know I should have watched some of the TV shows that featured the candidates but then again, I realized I didn't really miss anything. Because if I would be running for a position, I wouldn't say rubbish things on national television. So I will just do my own research and hopefully I would be able to vote the right persons. I would like to think of my vote as a gift for The Philippines. Sort of. And to myself as well. That's it for my update guys! I hope you're all having a great week so far.

If You Ever Come Back!

If You Ever Come Back!
And this I swear is true! I'll do anything and everything to be able to watch you. I know that I declared Sunday as my rest day but since I didn't get to secure myself a ticket for The Script world tour that is happening at this moment while I'm typing, I think I deserve to do anything just forget about that. I deserve to be happy. Or at least I think.

By the way guys, Happy Easter! :)

Since we're talking about  Easter, I just want to share that I actually haven't tried that Egg Hunting thing. 

Okay although I can't really move on about The Script, I have to move on. So for now I'll jet tell you guys what happened awhile ago.

We went to the church at around 9:30 am and mom said that we should be awake at 8 because of stuff and so we did. But the thing is I wasn't able to sleep early because I was thinking of The Script. Plus! Just before I thought of sleeping na, I saw their AIRPORT PICTURE. What??

YOU DON'T DO THAT TO ME! :)) MY FEELS. 
Okay so balik tayo sa church. I would just like to share the homily with you actually. Well, somehow. It's more of my homily actually but anyways. The priest said that we, human beings are always running for an escape. He said that as we are doing so, we are running away from hope. Just a thought to ponder on. 

But I say that sometimes, it's actually good to run for an escape because sometimes you can't really beat it all. Or maybe you're actually just wasting your time trying something that's not really meant for you. Unless you've committed yourself to do a certain thing, there's nothing wrong settling for PLAN B or something. It's a different story though when it comes to relationships, commitments, and all that. But if you believe that you ALREADY TRIED everything and it still didn't work. There's still probably hope but maybe running away would give you better hope. I'm not saying that the priest is wrong or something. I'm just saying. He didn't actually say something that I am against or something but that's just my say on that. Also, this is not applicable to criminals. RUN AWAY YOUR FACE.


Okay so after that we decided to eat and then we went to Robinson's to buy souvenirs from here to our neighbors in Japan. And then we went to Harrison's Plaza to buy some more stuff that we didn't find at Rob and so yeah. I feel sorry for my feet because literally, I wasn't able to feel it na at some point awhile ago. That's all! :)

Wonderful World

Wonderful World
If you want to be more inspired, try to search It's a Wonderful World by Coldplay on Youtube. It's a cover I know. But it's wonderful. Very inspiring. I just want to remind everyone of the Earth Hour happening in about 10 minutes from now. A little something we can do for our Mother Earth.


I don't know why we're represented by a Panda though. Anyways, Happy Earth Hour! :)

I Eye London.

I Eye London.

I had this dream about the London Eye. So I was walking somewhere in London (I assume) and then I saw the London Eye and came across the ticket booth and I was thinking twice whether or not I should buy ticket. For some reason, I declined. So I just carried on and continued walking but then I unintentionally came back to the same point where I saw the ticket booth and I was like, what the heck just happened? So at the end, I think I rode the London Eye and it's kind of odd because there's actually a rest room inside the London Eye capsule with a cubicle and then because I has to pee, I did and then the guy who sold me the ticket to go in, saw me peeing. Like, what?

Give it a Rest.

March 16, 2013 1
Give it a Rest.

I would like to declare Sunday as my offline day. And by Sunday, I mean, by the time I wake up from my sleep until I go to sleep again. I just want to have time for stuff like to at least make a reviewer for the board exams,  review them, have some time with myself, listen to music, and you know, just a time away from the computer and all its content. I guess it's a good way to actually somehow balance things up because I used to go online everyday and its kind of not a good start for someone who would be having a licensure exam in a few months. This would be a trial thingy that I would be doing and if I would be able to do this and make it alive, it might be a permanent thing. I guess that would be nice even after the licensure exam. So yeah. :) Good vibes! :)

More Fun Indeed.

More Fun Indeed.

Lurve how well I blended with the flowers on the background. We actually just passed by here on our way to Manila Ocean Park. 


Cousin carrying her heels and my umbrella. She was like, you can do it! And then took the umbrella with her. What a loving cousin she is.


What happened here? I don't know. And because of that, I would like to name this picture the "YOU DON'T DO THAT TO ME" picture. Thanks.


I know it's kind of hard to decipher but let's just appreciate this for a while. Considering it's free, we can't really complain about it. The first time I heard about this was at the PATHOLOGY OFFICE when one doctor recommended going here to another doctor because it's romantic and the doctor then said she would go. And passing along the other day, I was allured.


See? Look at that. I don't get why there's fire though. I don't know if it's part of the show or it's something mechanical and unavoidable. It's sometimes destructive in a sense.

Just cute.

Just cute.

I watched Xiaxue's Guide to Life's episode on such. Making coffee art and stuff and I don't think it's any easy so I really salute the person/s behind this. Good job! It's too pretty to drink though. Photo not mine by the way. I probably saw this either on Tumblr or Pinterest I can't remember. :))

Drama Overload.Food Trip.
So it was another long day for us. What happened was we actually just have to pay our Thesis statistician and asked her some questions related to our Thesis but since we still got time to kill, we killed it. It was actually because she was still talking to her other clients when we got there. KALOKA. Okay what happened was we were actually supposed to meet at Trinoma last Saturday but our mock defense pushed thru a later time so I had to cancel that meeting with the statistician. We actually settled that we will meet at Trinoma and so I thought we will meet there. I was on duty for 24 hours last Sunday and I thought I would have enough time to rest because she also said that we will meet at around 4 pm. What made me panic is when she said that she'll meet me at 2 pm. Which I didn't prepare for. I actually woke up at around 3 so whatever. She then texted that she thought our meeting wouldn't push thru and so she scheduled an appointment with her other clients. What? Also! She texted we would not meet at Trinoma anymore. She said she would meet me at Megamall. Dayum. I called my groupmate and told him about the change of plans but he said he don't know how to go there and so I went kind of alone. Not really alone because I went with my cousin. Okay kind of end of that thesis story.


She actually didn't tell me right away where to find her so I kind of craved for some Happy Lemon. And then we saw the place accidentally so what do we do? We went in and had some tea. And when she replied, 


And then she texted and said she's at Coffee Bean and we had to find Coffee Bean as well because you know, Megamall is not a place where we usually hang out. It's kind of far from our place. So yeah we were able to find the place obviously and  then we were able to meet her and she was able to explain everything so I'm thankful for that.


And then we had dinner at BonChon which I enjoyed even though I told myself not to eat Chicken and Iced Tea for a while because I had a lot of that lately but life is really like that. There are some things you can't avoid. Haha what?


That's all. :) I'm just so happy that I was able to accomplish everything that I was assigned to accomplish and that I was able to spend quality time with ze cousin which I like. I really think I had more than enough tea that day but whatever. I like tea anyways.

Accidental gig.

February 17, 2013 1
Accidental gig.
So my sister actually texted me to say that there are bands playing in the elementary school in front of our house. And I was like, what bands? And she didn't answer because she didn't know. So as a fan of most of the OPM bands, I got out to check. Which shock my mom a little bit because I don't usually go out and stuff. So I got there with my youngest sister first and checked and stuff and then it was fine, music playing and all that. It was actually an event put together by our councillor in partnership with a local radio station. So that happened. And when I looked at the banner to check who's playing next, I saw SPONGE COLA among many others (that weren't there by the way). And I was like, WTF? I love SPONGE COLA. Like, to death! I'll tell you why next time if I remember. 

So I texted my cousin and my sister to inform them that Sponge Cola's gonna be there and stuff. And then my youngest sister and I decided that we should pick up my other sister at home so that we would all be there and watch together. I called my cousin and asked if she received my messages and she confirmed but texted me back a few minutes later that she's doing something so she wouldn't be able to come. So we went back to the school anyways. 


Join The Club was there. Awesome. 


This day is really unexpected. I love this day. 


And as always, hyper Yael is hyper. I remember last UST Paskuhan how Yael climbed that steel thingy where the camera stood and it was actually darn high. So dangerous. So Yael. Can't really do anything about it. So yeah. I can't wait to see them again. I'm not actually a fan of politicians displaying their names and their projects but this one, I approve of. Except the shameless self-promotion of the politicians and radio staffs often times during the show. Good vibes!

Tinapayan.

February 12, 2013 0
Tinapayan.

This bakeshop is near UST but I didn't get a chance to taste anything from them before. Until last Friday. My friend actually recommended the place. She asked us randomly if we know the place and one of my co-interns answered "of course" and then my other co-intern and I was like, "what?" "where?" and all that. And then they were like, you'll be graduating already but you still haven't tried the breads there? And we were like, yeah. Hahaha so last Friday, after duty, and when I run some errands near UST, I was like, okay Imma go that Tinapayan place to try some breads. 


My friend particularly recommended Cream Puffs, Eclairs, and Bee Hive. Unfortunately, Eclairs is not available that time but I still managed to get some! 


I'm not really a fan of Cream Puffs because you know, I don't like how soft it is and all that. My sisters and dad like this stuff but you know, there's no harm in trying so I thought I'd give it one more try. Okay so unlike in Japan, the serving is quite small. More like a bite-size which I appreciate. Less hassle, and all that. 


Awesome! The only thing I don't like about it is that it is coated with candy. Like, caramelized sugar that's like left alone so it's kind of hard. Not a fan. I used to really like that though. Okay so it was awesome. Like, it was really good. Except the caramel top. I don't know.

 The Bee Hive was also good. I like how it's not too sweet. I don't have a close up picture of Bee Hive. Sorry. Next time! Probably. But that's that chocolate thingy you can see from the second picture above. :) 


This taste like Shu Cream more than the Cream Puffs so I'm not really a fan of this. But good to try. Might be your type. It's not that kind of type that I think nobody would like. Get what I mean?

Yakimix. Food Trip!

Yakimix. Food Trip!
It was my sister's birthday last Sunday and thank goodness for my schedule. Like, I was from night duty so whatever but the point is I'M OFF. So we went to Robinson's Place Manila a short while after I came home. That would be around 9:00 am I guess? Yup. So we went kind of early to buy my sister stuff.


This is the first plate that I got. Thought I'd share it with you. :)) The best thing that I liked in this buffet is that they have sea foods! Which I like. Actually, there's like a reminder on the table that says we should have a separate plate for cooked and raw stuff but you know, I really wanted to taste their Lechon Kawali so I got a piece of that. Surprisingly good so I definitely recommend you try it whenever you decide to eat there or something. 


Already cooking the stuff I got. I must say that the sea foods are really my fave. I also did enjoy everything else though. 


Hello to my "FROM DUTY" face. Haha mess.Can I just say that I am the person in-charge of actually grilling stuff and putting it to people's plates so when we took most of the photos, I was like "yung niluluto ko masusunog na!" Haha wala lang.


The one with the mayonnaise on top was DELISH! Like, it's not entirely raw. Kind of steamed and it was perfection! The rest was okay. I also like the one with TUNA in it. They also have a wide selection of sweets! Like, heaven.


I think the Chocolate Cake was popular because there were only two slices left on the table.


They got cakes, fruits, ice creams, jellos, tarts, fruit salads, sweet nuts, sweet potato chips, crinkles, cupcakes, and more!


Can I just say that these little things are love? I only had the cheesecakes though because I was already full but others actually don't look as appealing as the cheesecakes. I had two Blueberry Cheesecakse and one Cheese Mousse Cake, 


Awesome, right?

 Can I just say that I've just noticed that there's like a formed heart there? Awesome. And the white cake is actually the Cheese Mousse I was talking about awhile ago.


Us sporting our sweets! :) And mom was quite proud because the one she's holding is the same color as her top. Haha. Yun lang.
