SHIKIMIKIE

This is how I look as of the moment. Apparently, my hair can be tamed. With lotsa oil of course. Well I guess it's somehow beneficial for my hair so I shouldn't be complaining. I seriously expected my hair to be wild. Sometimes even when I forget to soak it with oil, it's still kind of okay which is very surprising. My hair is coping up!!  When shopping for food earlier this morning, I bought this. I was actually looking specifically for that Calbee chocolate covered potato chips which I used to eat everyday (then got sick of) but they're kind of hard to find these days so when I saw this, I thought I'd give it a try. The choco powder you have to add on your own. I believe I have tried something similar just to the ring itself and I didn't really enjoy it and I thought adding something to it would make me like it, but no. It's a complicated flavor so I don't really know if I like it.  Breakfast! Cheeseburger from 7/11. I bought this because someone I wat...

1. Are you named after anyone?  •  I don't think so. You know! It's funny how I got my name. My mom actually misspelled it. I was supposed to be MIKI (ミキ) not MIKIE (ミキエ). And so my mom became really careful not to name our youngest MARI (マリ) to MARIE (マリエ). It doesn't matter much in the Philippines but it makes all the difference in Japan.  2. When was the last time you cried?  •  The other day. #realtalk  3. Do you have kids? •  Not as of this writing. Not very soon actually. Can I just share? When I was in college, our Marriage and Family professor asked us one by one how many children do we want in the future and so I said two. And then at the end of it, she said that by deciding how many children we want ahead of it even happening, we already killed those not counted who are really destined to be our children.  4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?  •  Oh that would be awesome. I kind of want that. Like, ...

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 ...

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. 

I want to share with you guys some amazing photos that I took. Well not really that. Just amazing nature in photos. I won't credit that to me. Haha It's autumn. Also known as my favorite season of all time. So I ventured and took photos that is relevant. Not this one of course.  Also not relevant to fall but I took a picture with it anyways.  It's getting colder and colder each day and to be honest, I wasn't wearing enough dress to get by this day but whatevs.  Now can we just stop and appreciate fall together? I can't express how I love fall. And I would never be able to.  Fall Dust  This is actually a Sakura Lane and in spring, which is probably my second fave season, I would be happy to show it all to you.  Selfie before leaving the lane.  View from my terrace. It's just so nice to see it changing colors day by day. I love nature!! Truly amazing. That's all!! 

Few weeks ago on iTunes, I was looking for free music because I'm a diva like that and I was like, COLBIE CAILLAT? What is this sorcery? No offense but Colbie Caillat is the first artist I have encountered that I know on the single of the week feature of iTunes. It is a nice song! I was actually impressed and felt like I won the lottery for some reason. Anyways.  It's just recently that the video became a thing on Facebook and so I watched. In a  nutshell, it's a video of girls taking off their make-ups. It's nice as it is but I don't know.  Just being a video about girls taking off their make-ups made the song less valuable. I think. Because for some reason, I don't think girls who put make-up are just trying. You know what I mean? Girls sometimes put make-up for fun and just because. It's colorful and fun. Not really trying to impress other people and stuff. Yeah? What happened to YOU JUST HAVE TO GET UP GET UP GET UP? It's like my favorite part. Oh we...

First things first! Three months in Japan now! Okay next. LOL. It's almost summer here and I can't help but be thankful I don't work in the afternoon or else! I'm just so glad I don't have to deal with the nasty weather. Well except the rain! I don't like it. Recently, I went out alone to eat. Not like in a restaurant or something (will definitely try that!) but like in a mini stand bar or yeah. Also, I wore that shirt from the Philippines with pride! Apparently, that's the only loose shirt I have. That's another reason I wore it. Can't wear skimpy clothes on a nasty weather like that. Anyways. I had Takoyaki and Mango Juice. The MJ was kind of expensive. I should have just gotten myself a Starbucks. Grande pa! Inis. Anyways, it was still kinda worth it because I went out on a very sunny afternoon so I was quite happy. The Takoyaki isn't that good. But I like it anyway. I used to really really really like these. I guess sometimes t...

A selfie I took yesterday. I don't really have an explanation for this picture so I suggest we move on. LOL. We went to Hachioji to meet someone and as much as I thought of sharing the beautiful city with you, I wasn't able to take pictures because it's kinda like mini Shibuya where everything is fast paced so yeah. I will take pictures next time! Demi buying medals to play with. We weren't very lucky and I think she spent 2500 yen at least so sorry! The guy beside us though! He won the jackpot and then won so many medals that Demi was like, give us some! LOL. This girl is for real! Hahaha but she didn't let the guy hear of course.    It's really getting hot in Japan. Like it started to get hot and then it started to get cold again. Make up your mind, Japan.  I went to a 100 Yen shop and bought some interesting things and will share it so please wait for that :) Sooooon!! This is so near our place that I can't ev...

Selfie! Never mind. I think I should take more selfies! Not for sharing though just for keep. My everyday like (almost)(so far) is consist of me going to my bestfriend's place and stealing wi-fi signal from the neighbor still. Also, eating unhealthy snacks all the time. I don't smoke! Nor did I drink. Random food photo. This was made together with a home made pizza that Demi made that we devoured too early for me to be able to take a picture so I'm leaving you with the Tamagoyaki.  Also, I have been so pleased with Japan's way to prevent Trichomonas. I mean, it's so convenient compared to squatting or bringing out your own alcohol spray and stuff! So yeah. Lovely~ After a long time, I was able to enter a Pachinko center to fetch someone. It was so loud inside that I think I had a headache when we went out. I don't think I would ever engage in this game but I do understand those who do. So go! See yah!!

One fine day, I just decided to take pictures with Hashi and she was like, not me lady! I got things to do! LOL.  <3 Smooches! She's so sweet! I think there's really a big difference between a female and a male pet. The females are just adorbs. Even her mum is sweet. My Shiki is also sweet but I don't know. I just think that Hashi is sweeter. Sexist! I got yah! And she was like, I'm gonna make these pictures look like you're not treating me well.  When she was a little younger, she would actually be really friendly to the camera but now that she grew up a little, it's a little bit harder to take pictures of her so whatever.  But you're still fabulous and glamorous! :)
