SHIKIMIKIE

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...

Located near Sea Paradise, this place is a good place to catch sea shells and if lucky, some other stuff.  I actually remember people collecting sea weeds as well. We usually add our gathered shells to our miso soup at night. Which would rather give us a sandy soup but since we're all proud that we were the one who caught it, we don't mind eating it. At all. It's fresh so it's really different than your any other miso soup but yeah, you just have to be careful not to ingest the sandy residue.  Can we just altogether appreciate's my sister's effort because she thought my mom was taking her picture? Okay, thanks! :D Also, let's just look at my other sister on the right side of the picture because not a single eff was given.   Also, can we altogether appreciate how my sister over here screened the pile of dirt and look for sea shells? Also, me holding a rake is just awesome.  Can I just say that everytime we go here, I actually secretly...

Most of the pictures are pictures from my friends who are in the pictures as well. Thank you guys! For making me feel sentimental a little bit. These just have to be in my blog. LOL. I just miss everything. This is during one of our stop overs. I don't understand this picture very much but I look happy. Which is always nice.  My friend and I was taking pictures of people who were apparently taking pictures of us too. I don't own this photo but I'm glad this exists. You know, I know a person that takes a lot of pictures like, non-stop and he mentioned once that it's kind of not nice to take pictures of people who are prepared to have their picture taken all the time because what would they do? SMILE? Yup! But only for the camera. It's nice to take pictures of moments like this too. CANDID. And now the not so candid photo: LOL. FRIENDS! People I met during my internship and people I won't forget for like, forever. They're just awesome. T...

Although life is full of shittery. Wait, what? Just kidding. Really though. There are a LOT of things we should be thankful for. In my previous post, I told you about the Japanese who visited the Philippines. This is what they got me! Yay! My sisters got more than I did but I understand! :)  You know, I'm not really good in differentiating chocolates. They all tasted very much the same to me. :)) You already probably know that I don't like assorted stuff all that much but here's what the inside of the assorted cookies box looks like and I kind of don't know how I feel about them but I absolutely love the one with PISTACHIO! I love love love! The rest was okay but there's a particular cookie that I didn't like. It's the one at the upper right corner. It has sesame seeds and I don't really understand its flavor. Oh I also didn't like the cookie below that sesame cookie but I did finish it thinking I probably should give it a chance but...

A few days ago, I went with my mom and cousin to sort of accompany/entertain a couple with their granddaughter that is far related to dad. We accompany the woman and the child to go shop for souvenirs they would be giving away to their family members and to some of their friends. If what we did isn't tiring, then I don't know what is. The woman was really picky and would really consider everything before buying stuff. Like, she would consider whether or not the item would fit the person or like if the item would match their style or whatnot. Also, when we were on that souvenir-souvenir stuff, the woman would actually ask questions like the history shizz. Because there were like mini figurines of like, the "katutubos". Unlike mom who would actually just pick random stuff and decide on the spot. LOL. So after that tiring shopping activity we had, we decided to have something to at least replenish our lost energy. Banoffee Pie and Green Tea Pie! I love! I don...

Danke or Thank You in German is what I want this post to be known as. I don't know why and I wouldn't actually enumerate those in this post but I JUST WANNA. I feel like it. I got this shirt from my mom as one of the presents for my Birthday :) I love myself. Yup! Oh and I saw my high school friend on our way there and I actually showed her my shirt and we just laughed at it. It was nice to see her. I have to catch-up with my high school buddies soon! On a more serious note, I swear I just have to let this go. The guy in front of me was wearing a shirt with somehow a naked woman at the back of his shirt. I was like, wow! Does he really know where he's going?There were KIDS inside the church and he was with his family at the first place. DUH. There were a lot of things I noticed inside the church but okay I won't mention it na. BECAUSE I SHOULD BE CONCENTRATING ON THE MASS. Not the people. But sometimes I can't. I just feel like people don't know its wor...

I want to congratulate all of my friends who passed the MTLEX. My UST, MCU, and JRMMC colleagues, I know some of you have been complaining how the result is two days late but hey, you guys passed and I'm sure it's worth all the wait. It really makes me proud of you guys. I know you've all worked so hard and sacrificed a lot for this. Well except those who didn't really study because they're flawlessly intelligent. Or lucky. Well the good thing is, you're all an RMT now and that's just awesome. MD na next! :) I remember one of my friends turned down my "Hey! Let's watch Les Mis." offer. Oh well. And most of them were really out of sight during their review. Can I do that? To be honest, I felt a little amount of pressure. But whatever. I just want to take this opportunity to CONGRATULATE my co-intern/post mate/ice cream mate/friend for making it to the top 10 list of the MTLEX passers. I feel like a proud mama.  ...

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! :)

Election here in the Philippines is just around the corner. It means, things are already getting annoying. I'm not a fan of politics. Thank you to my second year Filipino teacher way back in high school who supported me with this. In my opinion, it's not like choosing to turn off the lights for an hour to save the Earth. By doing that, you're certain that you did something right. There's no backfire. In politics, you choose someone, that someone messed up, your fault (partly) because not everyone wanted that someone to be in position. The point is, I don't really care if I don't vote or whatever because I don't really care. And because I don't vote, I wouldn't complain (much) about things related to politics or things like that. Except this. This happened very near our house so I was able to hear what the speakers were saying and all that crap. So basically, this politician who's running for a position in the congress was like mentioni...

Japanese is probably one of the languages that people want to learn these days. I don't really get it but I'm here to help! :) See, as a Japanese, people expect me to know my language fully. Not gonna happen. I mean, we, Japanese do have a dictionary too and we have it for something. For reference. But the good news is you wouldn't be needing that to survive. Say you would stay in Japan for five days, these five words would be enough for you to survive. This is like learning these the lazy way. I mean, I'm gonna make it easy for everyone. 1. Hi! My name is (Mikie). Google Translate: こんにちは！私の名前はミキエです。Kon'nichiwa! Watashi no namae ha (Mikie) desu. - Bad news is you have to memorize that because there's no easy way out. You could actually say "Watashi no namae ha (Mikie)" or "Namae ha (Mikie)". But that's like your last resort. So if you're going ever going to Japan, you have to at least know this. And! Unless we ha...

      Yesterday, I witnessed my cousin's and sister's elementary graduation. It's still a long way run for them but it's a good start. They're still gonna have a lot of things to go thru. High school drama would probably overwhelm them but I know they're equipped with the things they need to kind of get thru that. High school drama is not just the only thing to prepare for of course. Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, Trigonometry, and Physics! Good luck! I miss high school really.  The event started with a mass. Baccalaureate Mass. The homily was great. I hope they kids listened though. Oh can I just say that I missed UST's and I hate to say this but I really regret it. Look at the photo below. I bet it was magical.      Oh well. Things happen, At least I have this picture to keep. Even though it's not mine. LOL. Oh I also missed the infamous ARC OF THE CENTURIES EXIT which is like, a tradition but don't you worry, I'm gonna have my...

I don't actually cry easily. Except when Sirius Black died. OMG my feelings! Anyways, I just want to share these crying experiences during our internship program because I want to let these things go now and I don't want to go on with my life with a heavy heart or something like that. I should have entitled this WHY I CRIED but that's just...I don't know.  This is the first time I cried. During my first internship, it was my first time in a certain laboratory post so even though I learned the theoretical stuff at school, I really don't know if I can touch anything there and do whatever I want to do, or what. I was with a post mate that time and we weren't oriented on what to do so we just stayed there. The staff there usually comes at around 9 and our duty starts at 7 so we were just sitting there and all that. Talking and stuff. When the laboratory receptionist brought a specimen, naturally, we didn't know whether we could do that because we were...

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? 

The word Gyaru is actually the word GIRL or GAL pronounced in Japanese but it's actually the same thing. Most of the Japanese cannot actually pronounce L so that kind of explains it. I don't know why I did this but if you can still remember, I declared Sunday as my off day and I really spent my Sunday away from the computer so yeah. I found out that it's dangerous. I kid. So using some of the apps I have, I came up with this looks. DON'T YOU DARE LAUGH. Haha nah it's okay. I made this for our entertainment actually. Nah, only mine. Haha But I kid you not when I say that it's kind of normal for Japanese kids to actually look like this. From where I'm from, not much but my best friend actually pull off this look so IDK. PROOF! (LAST PICTURE)  But the other places I go to, like, Yokohama, Tokyo, and other big cities, most of the girls look like what they call "GYARUS". The hair! I've always thought that big hair is better than pap...

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! :) 

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 unavoidabl...

So this is actually the last part of our Manila Ocean Park trip and it was a good wrap up of the show I must say. I haven't watched anything like this before yet so it was quite a show. In the above picture, they kind of splashed water continuously so they could use that as their screen for some flashing stuff. And when they don't flash the things on that water splash thingy, they do it on their hotel's windows. Kind of. The chef who tried to capture the shrimp and the octopus by running around with his utensil. He kind of had a big knife for the octopus but I wasn't able to capture that moment. And then most of time, it's like this with some music. I can't actually remember the music or whatever so maybe they played melodies of some sort to carry on with the fountain show. :)
