20/20 Vision

Image
It’s been 2 years since I got my vision back to normal. It’s probably the best decision I’ve made in this life. Also, the rhinoplasty but yeah I might have it fixed again in the future but yeah two modifications that I did in my body is the best decision I’ve made in my life so far. I’m just happy that I get to see everything much clearly hassle free. I used to wear contacts and it’s not very nice. If you are inexperienced like me, you might feel like you’re scraping part of your eye each time but oh well. I will miss 2019 because it was a year of failure, adventure, lessons, love, and dreams. I hope 2020 will be better. Now before I say goodbye to it for real, let me just post this one last time. Also, it’s relevant because I went to this country with a 20/20 vision. Ha! STAR CITY, PHILIPPINES NARA, JAPAN HONG KONG DISNEYLAND NAMI ISLAND, SOUTH KOREA 2020, am I right? It’s scary to be honest. With all the news about World War III and stuff. I don’t know if it’s safe in the US or like ...

2020. End of another decade. I mean, I know it’s all going too fast but man, this year passed by like a breeze. I have stayed in the Philippines for like 11 months now. I have been working for 6 months now and yeah, time just went by like that. I have so many things to be thankful for. I have been in 4 countries in one year. I mean, that’s the life, right? I can’t wait to be in 5 next year! I’m just kidding. Wait, am I? LOL. You know what though, I think I want to visit all the provinces in the Philippines because, I’m already here, right? Might as well! I’m gonna be 28 this year. Like, 28, ladies and gentlemen. OMG. Can I just share that it’s my first time tasting this and yeah not a fan. It’s too spongy for me. I feel like I can have something better at a cheaper price, you know what I mean? That’s all! I won’t be having resolutions because I always fail. One thing I would like to do is to drink lotsa water I think. My SGOT and SGPT levels are on the roof! Also my triglycerides! I ca...

Let it Rain, July :)

Image
I kind of don't want the rain. But you know, there's nothing we can do. So I say, let's just take pictures and get it over with. Also, at some point, someone's been waiting for this moment so let's not spoil it for them.  Nakayama Station Drunk People on board I kind of like the weather because it's not too hot. And I like the sound. But I don't like that it's wet. Gracious goodness. Anyways. I may have said that a million times already.  violet colored flower  Gloomy Sagamihara It's the rainy season and it's not fun to be outside but yeah let's make the most out of it anyways. Stay dry. Also, it's July. Who saw this coming? Ciao!  

Orange is the New Black

I don't know what I'd be in prison for but if I have to be put there, I hope I look like this all the time. Vain. Ugh. OITNB. This is what I have been watching religiously lately that I have been dreaming of it. Can I just say that I dreamt that I was with my sisters and cousin one night and we killed this girl. I remember it was like Hunger Games' blood bath because we're throwing arrows and shit and yeah someone threw an axe and hit my sister Mika's shoulder. I was damn scared. Then for some reason, I had a tourniquet in my bag, dashed some gin and that stopped the bleeding. Who knew? Back with the girl we killed, she died violently in our hands. We punched her do death and stabbed her even. Man, I don't even know if she's the one who threw the axe. Anyways, we also tried to conceal her body because apparently, we killed her in a mall garden. We then tried to throw it somewhere I can't remember. Dark times. It's only just a dream p...

Memory Corner | Flashback Friday 6

Image
1. This. I was actually supposed to blog this haul but then again I can't find my camera's memory card where I saved the pictures so yeah. I actually didn't want anything like, my mom told me that she'll buy me blue or green pants daw and I was like, no thank you and she was like, no. You need it. Weird, yeah? And then she also asked me to choose some shoes and I chose that blue shoes which I kind of regret buying even though I've been wearing it religiously. It's just that I think the color kind of faded na and the glitters fell off na. Well most of it. Well it was kind of expected to happen naman pero still. Oh and for some reason, I've been wearing flats a lot lately and it feels weird but anyways. 2. Shabu-Shabu! It's been a while since my last shabu-shabu. I think I was like not a teenager even when I last had this type of food. Or I probably just forgot. This place is not that good but it's cheap daw according to tito so game lang. T...

Memory Corner | Flashback Friday 4

Image
1. You might be confused as to what this picture is all about. If you would look closely, there's a colorful something something up above the tree. That's actually a parrot. What happened was it escaped from its owner and then the owner said that he would give a 5000 pesos grant to the person that would catch and bring back the parrot to the owner. Can I just say that the parrot was really mean because a guy actually attempted to climb that tree but when he was about to grab the parrot, it flew and transferred to a far away tree and yeah. 2. A picture of my sister Mika and I at Manila Bay. Actually, Harbour Square back when we ate somewhere there. If you don't know it already, I'm obsessed with sunset. So even though we can't be seen and recognized in that picture, that picture is precious. 3. Internship! :) I miss everything about internship. This is during my Clinical Microscopy rotation. And also during when we exchanged gifts. As you can see,...

Some Good Tea @ Affinitea

Image
WALL OF GOOD VIBES I haven't seen this anywhere else yet so I'm assuming that this branch is the only branch. In case you're wondering, Affinitea is somehow near San Sebastian College in Manila. The last time I attempted to try something in this place, it was full so I just went to Chill Out which is literally beside this place. We were supposed to do the same thing but then my cousin noticed the place is empty so we went in right away. MUST BRING POST ITS NEXT TIME. GOOD STUFF This is probably the first time my cousin didn't get Caramel Milk Tea. She ordered some honey tea stuff and she didn't like it that much. I guess she's just used to the taste of Caramel Milk Tea that's why she didn't enjoy it. She also said that the bubbles are harder than the usual. BUT I LOVED MINE. Mine is the shorter cup by the way and I ordered some cocoa stuff with rock salt and cheese. The lady was also kind enough to ask me if I want my drink uncovered. I sa...

Nobody Deserves to Die

Image
But some cases are hopeless . But some people are asking for it. Therefore, it shall be given to them. This is a post about my opinion on the 35 year old Filipina who will be executed in China any time now. And just about my opinion on it being the punishment. So the story is this Filipina was caught carrying a prohibited drug at the airport. Coincidence? I don't think so. Her parents are saying that their child is a victim. Really? The woman is not a first timer and I know that she knows what her doing. She just don't know she's gonna get caught! Too bad. Does she deserve to die? NO. She just deserve to be punished. Too bad for her though, China's law states that her act is punishable by death. In that case, she deserve it. I pity her. I pity her family. Especially her children. I know for a fact that their mother just want the best for them that's why she was able to that (and so are hold uppers) but man, it doesn't have to be done that way. The thi...

Tea Time with Cathy and Mikie

Image
I truly believe this should be a legit segment on my blog. But sometimes, I get disappointed by teas so I don't get inspired to continue with that kind of posts but now, I think that no matter how much I loathe (big word) the teas that I've tried, I must share it with you. That's all! Let's go!! Okay this one we tried because we don't have a choice. I guess we just wanted to have a tea and somehow rest our feet from our tiring UST trip . So that happened. Anyways. I kind of regret we didn't drink at ChaTime because wala lang. Anyways.  I actually didn't enjoy the tea but the taste is actually interesting. I actually  don't remember it's exact flavor but if I can remember it right, it's something like green tea yogurt. Or some macha yogurt. Okay I've checked it now. It's Yogurt Green Tea. I kind of regret picking that flavor because firstly, I wasn't able to taste the green tea. Secondly, I wasn't able to ...

Getting Touristy at UST

Image
If you have been with me for some time, you may have known that I am from The University of Santo Tomas which I'm really proud of by the way and I can't imagine myself being an alumni of a different institution. I don't mean to offend any schools of course. It's just a matter of preference. So last week, I went back to check and to run some errands that I would be needing for the board exam application and shiz like that but mostly to check and take some pictures and stuff like that. Well of course! Actually, I wasn't able to accomplish paper works because of stuff so I'll definitely come back for that soon. IN FRONT OF THE MAIN BUILDING NOT THE CHURCH I'm pretty sure I have a picture the same as this but I don't know. Just kidding! I'm not sure. Never sure on anything these past few days, eh? So I kind of already saw the things (major letterings) I am about to show you guys below but only in pictures so when I saw it in person, I was like, e...

I Hate Elections

Image
As much as I find the election enticing, I just can't control myself and notice the effery going on. First of all, let's talk about the campaign materials. I really don't mind if it's something very useful to the whole human population such as umbrella, T-shirt, ballpen, and other stuff which we can use in our everyday lives but for some reason, these politicians cannot comprehend that having paper as their material will just pollute the environment! And then their campaign would involve something like cleaning the environment or something like that. Good for them! CLEAN AS YOU GO! I always say that we should always start with ourselves. So tadah! This is what the front of our house looks like.  IS IT FIESTA TIME OR WHAT? Are you effing serious about this thing, guys? WHAT A WASTE OF RESOURCES! My mom was literally guarding over this last night because these hanging thing actually happens at night and in the morning, you'll get surprised on how...

Drug Store Hair Products

Image
I'm actually a sucker for hair products because without a help from such, my hair is dead. My hair is pretty much on life support to be honest. And to be honest once again, I don't think going to the salon once or twice a month would really do anything so these products having the price of one salon session or even less, I thought I'd give it a go.  MAKES HAIR SMOOTH AND SHINY FOR DRY HAIR AND SCALP I bought them at Watson's and they actually have a different set of hair treatment there but I already finished a bottle of that without actually seeing any difference so it's probably my hair or maybe that really is just another hair product. But I'm not gonna talk about that stuff, yeah? The Keratin Hot Oil Cream sounds really promising so I hope it won't let me down. I actually started using the Keratin one and I also asked my sister to try it and it was actually good but using a product once or twice wouldn't really be fair so I'll jus...

Here's to Never Growing Up

Image
It's Children's Day in Japan today and to commemorate that, I just want to show you guys the toys I played growing up. These are the toys I used to play every day when I was still a child. I'm just thankful that I still have them now because they bring such good memories. Or not. But anyways. WITH ZE iPHONE FRONT CAM Lovely lovely toys. Okay so in The Philippines, about 7 years ago, we actually had our house renovated and we had to transfer to a nearby apartment because we can't stay in our house while it's being renovated, yeah? Duh, Mikie! :D  Anyways before we transferred to that apartment, we had to dispose of things we don't need anymore and some of it were given to our other relatives and other people as well because the apartment is kind of smaller than the house so yeah my mom asked me the most important and difficult question to me back then. "WHAT WILL WE DO WITH YOUR TOYS?" I think I was already in second year high school that...
