SHIKIMIKIE

Third Birthdays are important in Japan. And Eighteenth Birthdays are significant in the Philippines. Walk with me as I talk a little about these two important celebrants.  Baby Tora kun the great!! I’m so happy that I get to attend Tora’s 3rd because you know, I know it’ll be a while until I get to attend any of his important birthdays, so I made sure I get to attend this one.  Happy 3rd Birthday, handsome!! Believe it or not, in your 3 years of existence, your life has been pretty dramatic (already) and I witnessed it all, little man! Tita loves you!  so Filipino Birthday Cake! Also, to my bestfriend, I’m so proud of the mother you’ve become. No one could have done a better job raising Tora! :)  On the same day, my sister Mika turned 18. Like, what?? It only feels like it is yesterday when I was the one who’s 18. Now, it’s already the two of us. Sooner or later, there’s gonna be 3 of us. OMG time flies. ;) Happy Happy Birthday, Mik...

Pocky Double!! Soo nice. I saw this recently and of course I have to try. I think it’s me getting old but I haven’t been craving for sweets for quite a long time now. But you know! Actually I don’t. Haha Pocky Double チョコラ and フロマージュ Both are nice but if I have to choose, I’d pick the チョコラ (CHOCOLA). I like that it’s a little bitter! The formage is kind of sweet but it’s also kind of nice! :) The stick is sooo nice though. But I don’t know if I’d like to eat it on its own. That’s all! 

Ichiban Yakiniku This used to be Takarajima Yakiniku but now it’s called Ichiban. I went with Hidemi and baby Tora!! Who’s not soo baby anymore by the way!  Yas The meat they serve is not top quality but since I was really craving fatty meat and stuff, it sufficed! We probably ate three or four times the meat on the table. Also ate a lot of other things such as soups and fries.  This I wasn’t actually able to eat ice cream on its own but I heard it was sooo good!!  slushies Hidemi made us some waffles as well! You can top it with either choco sauce or caramel. And if you fancy, ice cream!!  kakigori!!  This reminds me sooo much of my childhood!  Cotton Candy Machine which I don’t dare operate. Sister Hidemi dared and successfully made us some.  Ta-da!!!  That’s all! Thanks Hidemi for cooking and for making all the sweets! You know, I’m always sooo tamad grilling and stuff. Thank goodness everyone around me does all the work...

Sorry na. Anyways, I have a lot of stories to tell so leggo! First of all, Netflix’s Riverdale Season 2 Episode 1 is out (as of this writing) and it’s sooo nice!!  I mean, it’s soo good! Cheryl is sooo evil but I like it! I mean I wouldn’t do (IRL) half the things she’ve done but I like her. I used to like Hermione Lodge but you know, she’s starting to get shady (NOT SO INNOCENT OF A PAWN) and I don’t like that darkness whatevs. Now the GREEN-EYED MONSTER. Seriously, that’s Mr.Cooper. Maybe! It’s always gonna be Mr. Cooper, yeah? Hahaha or!! FP Jones. I don’t even know! Basta.  What used to be my favorite chips are back! They were gone for 3 years!!! I was soo happy because you know, I saw them the morning I was gonna watch Riverdale and I was like, yas!!! They’re not as good as I remember but you know...for old time’s sake. Sometimes we’re not gonna get why we’ve done certain stuff in the past or what...

Goodness gracious! So you know, back in my day, there was Tumblr. If I have to compare it to anything now, it’s like Pinterest. You know, some definitely have personal accounts but for most of us, it’s blogging minus the commitment. Anyways, I started blogging with Tumblr in December 2009 and my last post was in April 2014. So basically I was with this site from age 18-22. Sooo young, huh? Also, my handler then was PERIPHERALSMILE.TUMBLR.COM. Just sayin’. So yeah here we go. 15. The Witty Stuff OMG, right? Like, what if? 14. Food  Basically of cakes, cookies, sweet stuff, Korean food, and pizza. I’m very predictable.  13. Art I’m not even much of a fan now. I mean, sometimes. 12. Life Because we all think of this once in a while. And it’s okay.  11. Words of Wisdom You see, Tumblr is not a...

  Hola! It's October! It's getting colder. Rainy season is kind of over. It's starting to look a lot like fall. My kind of season. Got a few things to tell you so leggo! I got a haircut!! Yay! Also got it dyed but nothing dramatic. I think it's the last haircut I'm gonna get in years. I think I got rid of the damaged hair from when I had it bleached. OMG hair and life! LOL. I actually wanted to go back to red but nah. In less than 3 months, I'll be going to the Philippines! Definitely something to look forward to! :) I miss my family. Better grab the chance while I still can. I miss everyone! Speaking of the fam, this month, my sister Mika turns 18!! Like, what? I can still remember the days when she was just a little annoying puff ball! I can't say I'm not proud! Advance Happy 18th Birthday, guuuurrrlll!! Where did the time go? Anyways.  I've been really thinking a lot these days. Asking myself a lot of things. To be honest, as carefree as I seem, I...
