Hunger Games in Real Life

Image
I strongly strongly despise terrorism. Funny how not too long ago, I was searching YouTube for videos on how Lethal Injection works. Then, I learned about these terrorists trying to kill some journalists who may have offended them but they have no right to kill people who are just trying to express themselves. They don't have the right to kill anybody in that sense. But of course that's just mainstream media. Of course they're probably doing stuff behind the scenes.  Recently, they attacked Paris and killed journalists who worked for Charlie Hebdo and new threat has been posed for Diamalar. I wish the Diamalar staff do whatever it takes to protect themselves but if you still wish to express yourselves, do so. Pen for a pen. Yeah, right. There were also some other bombing incident related to terrorism I believe.  But the main reason I am blogging this is because of the captured Japanese journalist and his "spy" friend. I don't know how they captured the guys an...

Bad Skin and Busy Thoughts

Image
I think the condition of my skin already improved a lot and by lot, I mean, a lot!! I owe it to time. Because for so long, I haven't found a solution that works. I have been using a cream from my dermatologist and it seems to fix it but I don't really think it's that effective. I mean, time heal wounds. Anyways, the other day, I was asked by a co-worker and it goes something like, I know it's not my business or anything but I want to ask how long have you had those pimples and I was like, forever. And then she was like, I'll do something with it during our break. And I was like, wait, what? But then I didn't say the last part. Fast forward, she then asked me to go to the locker room with her during the break and then all she did was touch my face with her palms for like 15 minutes. I don't know what kind of sorcery is that but my body kind of felt lighter. Or maybe I just felt sleepy or something. IDK. I don't know what it has to do with my pimples. She ...

You're missing out on these

Image
This is what I've been posting to my new blog. Still kind of building it and stuffs I went to Shinjuku for fun and it was helluva day. I didn't do much shopping though which I should have done.  Follow my adventures!  <a href="www.oncejapanatime.blogspot..com">Once Japan a Time</a> 

Taking Over Shinjuku 1.13.15

Image
 I usually get pretty busy at work but this week, I got Monday and Tuesday off and on Tuesday, I decided to explore Shinjuku. Why Shinjuku you ask? I don't know too. Anyways, it was my first time commuting to Shinjuku and stuff and man I was blown away by like, everything. I actually didn't go defenseless as I searched for things to do and places to visit beforehand but uhm. No. I actually didn't end up going to any of them except for one. That's life.   It was like 1 hour and a half train ride from my place to Shinjuku and I actually didn't enjoy the process of getting there. It was kind of tiring. Imagine being seated and tired. That kind of tired. When I got off the station, I was like, whoah. Well to be honest, finding the right exit was the only real struggle. LOL.  So when I reached the place, I just walked and walked and kind of familiarized myself to the place a little bit. Just in case my phone dies and I wouldn't be able to use my Google Maps on my way...

2015 Selfies and Pink Sky

Image
After work selfie. I feel really sorry for my hair. At work, we have to tie it up and you know, I'm probably doing it wrong because when shift ends and I'm already freeing it, it gets all frizzy and string-like. Got to get a deep conditioner I guess. Posting this only because I look kind of decent. Frizzy hair don't care.  Also, uneven eyes. Can't do anything about it. Moving right along... The moral of the story is to capture moments. This literally disappeared seconds after I took the photo. Like, what? I was owed and life lessons flooded me like tsunami. At the end of the day, I was able to do it, right? No regrets. But then it makes you think that you should have taken more than what you did. But then it's still better than not making it at all.  Understatement really. It was more vivid in person! Anyways.  This I saw just awhile ago. Again, an understatement. If only I could get a better shot of the mountains, gah. For starters, I kind of have a bad vision but ...

Showin' my Hair sum Lovin'

Image
Since my hair is kind of already dead, I'm now at the process of saving it. Hopefully I would be able to do so.  I brought this hair oil and cream thingy. I haven't really used the oil yet but the cream is kind of good in taming my hair. Like, after drying it, I would just put some on the ends. It doesn't do wonders though. It just makes my hair kind of put together.   Just the basic. Only prettier packaging. For some reason, I don't really stick to one brand when it comes to shampoo/rinse whatsoever. More often that not, I'll just but what's on sale. Hahaha cheap me. Maybe that's also why my hair's shocked everytime. I don't know. I remember this particular brand from childhood though. I remember it being good but I'm not sure. I didn't actually have a good hair even back when I was a child but yeah I have a recall that I liked this brand.  I so  envy girls that if you ask them what they do to their hair, they'd be just like, nothing rea...

New Year's Resolution?

Image
I haven't made this kind of thing for a long time. Last year though, I told myself to drink more water but I suck at that. I also declared not to be late at work but I suck at that. Also, the "do more things", I suck at that. But that's so 2014.  I want to keep this years resolution simple. I just want to be more courteous with my words. Use honorifics more and stop talking like I'm with my same age group at all times. I'm not mean. It's just that I don't speak the way I should speak and it's killing me. I swear I've been trying but then I guess I have to take it one step at a time. Can I do it? Yes of course! I just have to get used to it. So ironic.  Taking this resolution stuff further, I want to challenge myself to be sort of early for work. For most times. I mean, I have only been late once in my work now but I'm ALWAYS in a hurry. Which sucks because I usually run for my life to be able to ride my train and bus on time.  To EXPLORE! I...

Let it Snow! Japan 2015.

Image
January 1st, at around 12 in the afternoon, it snowed. I know. You know with "rain" it's kind of a blessing and it's like welcoming 2015 with a bang. Anyways, it only rained for an hour and thought I'd share pictures with you guys. I basically took these because my family back in the Philippines were asking me in December whether it's already snowing so I thought I'd snap and send them these as well. Which I already did by the way.  It's actually not snowing everyday yet so it was more of like the first and last snow of the year so far. I mean, we're just a week ahead of 2014 aren't we? But anyways. You get the point.  Selfie! Why, of course. Those are not dandruffs though. Snow. LOL. I love how my top matches what's happening.  The day after, it kind of left a trace but then again the day after that, it all melted down. See you soonest, snow.  Happy New Year!! As if I haven't greeted you guys tons already. Yay. 

Hunger Games Tag Questions

Image
My official picture when I get in to the Hunger Games or you would have to find yourself another Tribute.  1. What is your favorite book in The Hunger Games trilogy? Mockingjay! I usually don't find myself liking series books' finale the best but this one is really my favorite. There's just a lot of feels!!  2. How long would you last in the Hunger Games? Two weeks! Duh? Haha but with all seriousness, I think I might actually have a chance to win this one. I mean, I wouldn't go for the blood bath, I wouldn't light up a random fire, definitely wouldn't eat random berries, and when it comes down to it, I wouldn't hesitate killing anyone who's trying to kill me.  3. What's the strangest thing you thought was going to happen in the books (but didn't)? There are a lot of traps in the book!! I'd say the ending though. I thought Katniss would be the one to kill Snow. And I thought it would be Gale and Katniss in the end. But oh well I guess you can...

Tequila Sunrise?

Image
December 31 2014, work ended way earlier than usual and when I reached my station, I saw something beautiful. I saw the sunrise. I am a fan of both sunset and sunrise (leaning towards sunset) but for some reason, in Japan, sunrise looks way better than sunset. Oh wells.  It reminds me of German Flag a little bit. I was like tired when I get to my station but  I was relieved when I saw the sky.  Happy kid!  Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all the best and hopefully we get all our shit together this year. Keep Fighting!
