SHIKIMIKIE

First day of freedom! For our first day of freedom, my sister and I went to Ebina. Will probably post more about it later.  Went to the cemetery with the sis to visit dad.  Bought a bike! (sad to say that I don't use this bike anymore but yeah, it was a good bike and it was good while it lasted.  I feel like I have to tell you where the heck I’ve been for the past 10 months. Japan is still Japan but kind of different. With all the things going on right now and all, I don’t even know. So we arrived July 31st last year and 10 months after, here I am. Did quarantine which seemed to be the longest quarantine of my life considering I don’t have my Luna with me. My new quarantine buddy which is my sister is just as sleepy as my Luna so yeah I think we’re good. Employed for a couple of months now too! I have been to a lot of places with the sis that I will be sharing with you of course. I don't know but I feel like I'm a little bit uninspired to post everything in my life, recen...

I made it to Japan on July 31. This is really late but I don't think a lot have changed since my experience. Well few things have changed of course with regards to the number of days you have to quarantine yourself in the designated hotel and stuff so make sure to always check on that! So yeah but this is my experience and I think this more or less what you have to expect when returning to Japan. I am fully vaccinated at the time of my arrival but back then, it didn't matter. Being vaccinated has its bearing now so make sure to take advantage of that.  I came from the Philippines and the documents needed for leaving is basically the minimum requirement of the place you're going to. At the airport, I remember being asked to present the MOFA form and the written pledge. They also asked for the completed QR code that I didn't have at first so let me share the code with you. Just in case you still have to! You just have to fill out the thing and at the end, there will be a ...

 I love it. I know I have shared my sentiments with some friends but as of this writing, I have nothing but gratitude that I get to spend my time resting and planning the new chapter of my life. I don't know if I ever blogged about anything related to my work in the Philippines recently but here it is. I'll give you a tour.  Von Voyage! I actually didn't know the meaning of this until about awhile ago but yeah I guess it's not all that common to say in Japan? Is it just me? OF COURSE. ALWAYS JUST ME, DUH. My last lunch break with my St. Anthony fam!  It's kinda sad that I don't get to share my knowledge or experience to the new recruits as much but I'm sure they're gonna be well taken care of by my colleagues/batchmates there. If anything, we have a senior staff that I got to be so close to especially during the last few months of my stay.  I'm just happy that I got to spend my last day with everyone! I mean, it's inevitable and work is not forev...

  In this post, I just want to share that your girl is now fully vaccinated. I don't know how it will be able to protect me or everyone around me but I hate hate hate how relaxed I feel in general. Like, pre-vaccination, I would wash my hands maybe every 15 minutes. I never touch anything at work without wearing gloves, and all that. After vaccination, I kinda lean towards my usual way pre-COVID. I still wash my hands though! Just not as often. I don't know. To be honest, I feel like I'd catch or maybe already caught the virus again at some point. But you know, KNOCK ON WOOD cause your girl will fly to Japan soon! Did you guys miss my Japan post? Is it just me? LOL. So yeah there's that. My second dose was sooo much better. No symptoms at all! Well, except for the pain on the injection site. I still took paracetamol like I did before so I don't know if I prevented the symptoms altogether or if there's no symptoms at all. I guess the first dose was so traumatic t...

HI FOLKS! So not so long ago, my co-workers and I had a talk about our childhood pictures. Well, it kinda started when one of us showed a picture when she was younger and basically she asked us to bring a physical photo album of our childhood pictures sort of (which we didn't end up doing by the way). I am lucky because my mom made sure to have all these and a whole lot more photos taken when I was younger. So yeah! I'm actually just gonna repost these as I've already shared these with everyone on my old blogspot. Peace! I have no recollection whatsoever of this so it's nice to have these photos to look at and just know that it happened. It's kinda why I keep a blog as well. I guess I got it from my momma.  My biological dad. I don’t know and I don’t remember anything from it but my mom said I’ve been to Ueno Zoo many times before. My only memory of it was quite recent when I went with my Nepali friends.    How cute am I with those ternos?  One thing I remember from...
