SHIKIMIKIE

Yup. My Birthday happens on a Valentine's Day. So I was never lonely haha. Or why should I? Anyways, I just want to tell you some of the happenings yesterday. 

Google greeted me! Yay! I was so surprised because I was actually supposed to look at the two ferris wheel thingy and this showed up! Google is like the awesomest when it comes to this things.

Awesome friends are awesome! Thank you friends for this. I appreciate it. They surprised me with a cake from the Department of Health which we always eat at and I actually don't have an idea that they already bought one but they were sceptical because they thought I saw the cake but I swear I didn't. Sometimes I don't pay attention much. 

I don't know why but sometimes my dreams are really weird. Let alone this one. Can I just share before I forget the details? Yup. Hahaha

So what happened was we are going somewhere. And in order to go to that place, we have to ride a train. Now we are wondering why all the trains are like, skipping and all that so my classmates decided to walk a little to the "higher ground" because one train that skipped our station actually stopped to get passengers there. The way was not normal. Like, so so dirty and muddy and all that shizz. The mud is even neck deep so we were crossing that and stepping on train rails. And when we reached the station, the guys there told us that we aren't allowed there. They were holding long sharp woods and they attacked my classmates. And then I was telling my friend to play dead so we won't be attacked but they did shot him from his head down. And I was like WTF-ing already. And shoot! They attacked me. My leg. The saddest thing is I felt the pain. And then that happened. The next thing is that this friend who was attacked in the head was thinking of an escape. So we did.

After some time, I was alone in the escape. A lot of running and jumping, and hiding. Guess who's running after me? TIMOTHY DELAGHETTO! And I was really afraid as eff. What happened was I ended up in some sort of a carnival and there were rides and even though I hid inside the ride, as in not showing myself, he would still be waiting at the exit to find me. And I remember there's this water ride which I rode with a couple. I believe I asked them to hide me and all that. And then I thought I escaped already but not really. It was actually a 2-turn ride and the first one went okay but the second one, thinking nobody would see me when I'm on top, a camera flashed. You know that camera the rides have in real life, yeah? That thing. And I was like, I'm dead.

So I run for my life and all that and then I don't know what happened or this is probably a filler because I was all of a sudden in a parking lot with Sponge Cola. Okay not really relevant. And then they were having a concert pala somewhere. Okay next.

Then this is like the resolution. One of our staff in the hospital appeared in my dream and he suggested I change my get-up. I was actually wearing my CPH uniform that time. Blue polo shirt, maong pants, and rubber shoes. I know it's him but I disn't really talk to me. It was my cousin and friend that he talked to. Which is funny because they were with me not in the train scenario but like, the parking and concert lang.

So that happened. I remember getting things randomly. A bag, shoes, stuff, and WIG! A white one.

Okay. I should probably study now. I obviously slept way too much.

Thanks to my college friends for the pictures. They probably wouldn't know that I stole their pictures but thanks! :)) I owe it to you guys.

Pharmacy week is celebrated annually and we actually don't have a choice but to participate. Well, most of the time. So here are some pictures I could share with you guys. Enjoy! :)

Well this is like, a last minute chore for us to do and well made an effort in doing that diamond thing above our heads.

And as for our family picture...

And then the next year, this happened.

Takoyaki here in the Philippines is really nothing like in Japan. But just because I miss the idea of it, I just can't take it anymore. This is how Takoyaki in Japan looks like. The thing is Takoyaki is supposed to have Tako (octopus) inside it right? And as much as I'm not a big fan of octopus, I still love Takoyaki. It's probably my favorite Jap food! :) This is how a Takoyaki would look like.

Like like like! As in, all the elements and stuff in it.

And this is how it looks like here in the Philippines. This isn't gonna be the first time I would be trying eating Takoyaki here but this isn't far from what it looks like. Like, even when it's freshly done. This one is brought home by mom from somewhere so it wouldn't be like, freshly made. But yeah. Whatever. Sweet and sour chili sauce is just not the best way to go. And then I can't even taste a single octopus which is like disappointing.

But since I missed my Takoyaki, this would do for a while. It's actually not that bad but you know, just like what Katy Perry said in her song "Thinking of You", "How do I get better once I've had the best?" and I am not so sure whether or not I've already tasted the best that there is in Japan. I've probably tried like, 5 different stores or so but whatever. It doesn't matter.

This is the "JAPANESE CAKES" they're selling along Dapitan. Available in Cheese, Oreo, and another Oreo but with the coated chocolate stuff. When I first saw this, I knew I wanted to try it but nah, not that delish. But at least I wouldn't pass by the street wanting to try it so bad again. It's not delish but it's not actually that bad. It's actually my second time trying both of these flavours and my opinion is still the same. But I saw quite a lot of people queuing for this so it's probably just me. Like, ALWAYS.

And then even though it was raining, we still searched for a place to eat since SANTORINI was full and then there were still people outside waiting for the people inside to finish so even though I was craving for some Korean food, I let that go. The food wasn't really that good either. Like, I wouldn't exchange Santorini for this. I liked their interior though. And it actually didn't cost me much. So yay! Just in case you're wondering, that's actually Lemon Chicken you're seeing. :) I told my cousin that we probably didn't enjoy it because of the quality of the rice and she kind of agreed so yeah probably that.

So our last stop was this Tea Gen store and I think they have about two branches around the campus and we were really finding a good place to somehow wrap the night and my cousin was like, how about the tea store that we saw twice and so yeah we decided to go to the smaller place since we didn't want to be with people. ANTI-SOCIAL LIKE THAT, ha? Hahaha just kidding. We finalized to go to the smaller place since it's actually nearer to the restaurant that we dined in. I had Okinawa Milk Tea and my cousin had Black Tea and that's it! :)

My second Tumblr Likes post! :) As you all know, (or not) these are pictures that I actually don't want to delete because they're just so adorbs/amazing.fantastic/wonderful but don't want to post on my dash either. I don't know why that is but whatever you know.

I'm not a fan of Coke zero but I lurve the nails! And oh, the diamond ring! Haha just kidding.

I'm trying to reduce food intake and all that stuff right now but if I saw this somewhere, I wouldn't say no! FOR SURE! :)

I agree. Somehow.

This is relevant. I no likey the creepy kind of smile though. I like the genuine kind of smile from a stranger. Like, it makes you wonder for some reasons but at the end of the day, it's just a wonderful feeling to have somebody you don't even know smile at you.

This is like the view from our last stop. This is actually an accidental spot since my cousin is like in a hurry to go home for some reasons. This is like a place we saw when we are actually finding a souvenir shop. Quite awesome! See, everything happens for a reason. And the reason for us not riding the bus that we were supposed to ride is for us to actually appreciate the city a little bit more.

My best friend and I actually prefer living in the province than in the city. Which you may think is very ironic but that's true! I mean, you would want to breathe fresh air everyday too right? I would probably go to the city just for fun or whatever but living there is kind of suffocating sometimes.

Looking tired already but still having fun. Can I just describe the place we are at because like, it's gonna be hard to tell from the pictures. This is like a small parking space near the rotonda where the statue of whoever that is at.

The sunset there is not as dramatic as it is in the city but at least their weather there is like the best.

And then a guy who's like selling us stuff volunteered to take a picture of us and this is how it turned out. Love!

What's this photo for again? LOL.

So that concludes our Tagaytay trip! Can't wait to come back and explore more! :)

I just want to greet you all a Happy New Year. May this coming year be more fruitful and more wonderful than this year. It's been very good sharing my feels and stories to you guys. I hope you would all be safe and all that. Don't play with fireworks! I mean, they're like very deceiving so don't trust them. Take care all of you! See you in 2013! Which is like, 30 minutes away. Haha! Good vibes.

We went to Picnic Grove which is like one of the popular tourist spot in that area. I've been there like, four times my lifetime I guess. The weather was hot - cold. It's significantly colder at night. I mean, not that it's cold here in the city. 

Can I just say that almost every hour, we would mention how long my best friend's hair is and that she should cut it already. Hahaha
