SHIKIMIKIE

I had this at Volk’s at the first day we got to Japan. I think triple cheese burger is the name for this. It was so delicious by the way.  Fresh salad! I missed this because you can’t get a salad this fresh in the Philippines. Japan is just home for fresh vegetables.  Not good! I mean, it’s kinda good but it has bones in it which get stuck in between my teeth and my brackets so yeah not that good!  Disneysea’s smoked turkey! Always a win.  Yas! I enjoyed this. It’s not as hot as I thought it would be because it’s so perfectly hot and spicy. I finished. Ordered this from Hidagaya. Or Hidakaya?  Melon Soda! I’ve had melon soda enough for me not to miss it for a year. Melon soda is such a blessing.  This one! I missed this. I will never get tired of this. Yummy! Chicken Filled tenders with cheese! All of this and the one below is from Saizeriya.  This one!! Also soo yummy!  Cakes! I wish...

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> 

This might come across creepy but then who cares?  Just want to share the times where I thought I would die in my sleep. Like, there have been few instances when I feel helpless and couldn't move my body. I  swear there were a lot but these are the few that I can recall.  The Black Cat. Now for some reason, I know what was going on and I even think I am awake in this one. More often than not, I can actually control my dreams and most of the time, I would know whether I am dreaming or not so yeah I am positive that I was not dreaming. What happened was this cat was kind of acting like a dementor and taking my soul out of me. Literally. Then I floated while lying in bed. Like even to the point when I can see myself floating in bed, eyes open and my soul continuously getting out from it. I couldn't move and all that and yeah. I remember waking my sister up and all that but nah. Then I snapped back to life and I went to her bed and hugged her and all she asked "bad dream?...

This is what happened. So I borrowed socks from my workmate because I forgot to bring my own and then actually, before this whole situation, we had this locker conversation about socks. One of them cannot get a pair out of the washing machine together and then the other (in whom I borrowed from) just totally lose it period. Cannot find the other at all.  So yeah the next day, I borrowed socks from her and apparently, it was from GAP. I wouldn't probably spend that much for socks but then again... Okay so on with the story, it was my off the next I borrowed so I didn't check my bag right away so the day after that, I thought of washing the socks and well I CANNOT FIND THE OTHER SOCK! I was like, what is this sorcery? I usually don't get this situation a lot so I was really problematic when the situation occurred. I was like, what to do? Where to buy? I then decided to go to Machida, Tokyo but then it was closed! The luck of me! Really!  Then I went to Hashimoto and there I w...

I always get weird dreams but sometimes dreams can only get weirder. I had a dream about my college friends that I miss so so much.  First thing that I remember is when I gave my friend Rach a seaweed from Africa. Let's just pause for a while and reflect. Why the hell would I have a seaweed from Africa?? Also, I didn't know they have their own style of making seaweeds. Anyways, it looked a lot like something I can buy anywhere. Nothing special! So then moments later, she texted me. And it goes something like this. Thank you for the African Seaweed. A Triangular creature from Africa is trying to steal it from me. If you know what I mean. No Rach! I don't know what you mean! Triangular creature?? Are we talking shapes now? LOL. Then it ended. The next scene was me going up and down the stairs seeing batchmates in their suits and dresses. I don't know but I assume it must be prom basing it from the aura of the scene. Random. From Africa to prom? Then I find my way to getti...

So it happened. The Germans won the WORLD CUP 2014. It's not like I don't want them to win because let's all admit it, they really outplayed the Argentines. In quite many ways, I was actually impressed by their performance but not as impressed as their many other games. I mean, that game against Brazil was so much fun to watch. I also particularly remember them being as aggresive last World Cup so yeah. I woke up at like 4:30-ish JST and my friend turned the TV on and I was like, the fvck is this? And then I remembered the finals. Can I just stop and analyze why I forgot the finals? So I was like, quite lucky still that I was able to watch it. This is probably the first time I have to thank that TIME DIFFERENCE exists. Yes!  That off-side goal by Higuain. Can we just stop right there. Higuain is actually my favorite player from Argentina because I don't know. Oh well.  Mario Goetze did his job. Thinking he's a midfielder, he actually stepped it up, didn't he? Wh...

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...

Recently, I have been not so happy with the condition of my skin when going out. I mean, as much as I thank goodness for clearing it up and saving it from little monsters, it's just still not the way I wish it looked. Anyways. There are so many Drugstore Brands available in the market but since my skin is a sensitive mess, I thought I should just stick to what I know will not hurt much. For now.  I got Maybelline Pure BB Mineral Watergel. I don't know if it's the official name for it but whatever, right? Anyways.  It retails here for 1200 yen (tax excluded) which I find kind of expensive. But everything is expensive here so whatever. I find that it doesn't have the scent I hate on my Maybelline BB stick which is nice!! I'm just so happy I don't have to deal with that.  They do have 2 shades available being #1 Natural Beige and #2 Medium Beige. I got #1 because I'm assuming that this product will oxidize. Plus! It's summer. I don't know why that matte...

Going to work every night makes me feel like I'm in Hogwarts for the  TriWizard tournament. And it's awesome. People speaking in different language kinda makes me feel like I'm in an International School or something. More like Hogwarts! (as mentioned) Anyways, been friends with folks from Nepal and Vietnam. They're awesome! I like some people from the Philippines on my line as well. They probably have no choice too but to be friends with me but the bus!! Oh the bus. People who talk about other people! (well isn't that what I'm doing now?) THE PUN. But I would't be talking about them if they were a little nicer. Not all of course. Some. Hasty generalization attacks. Not good.   Hearing people speak though makes my head ache sometimes. Like, they speak so fast and I don't really understand any of it. Math lessons are better somehow you know because at least they teach it in English although sometimes I'm just as clueless.  So yeah I mentioned my frien...

I  feel kind of lost yet again. I hate this kind of feeling you know. But then again, who wakes up in the morning and look forward to feeling lost, right? I just think that as I grow older, I feel lost the more, you know. On a perfect world, you should be able to find yourself as you age but this world I think is not that kind of world. That's why there are a lot of point in our lives when we can attach the word -crisis. Mid-life, mid-twenties, mid-thirties, mid-fourties, and so on! So I guess I'm not alone. But also, there are different types of crisis. So I don't know if feeling lost is something they are not actually going through and you know, stuff like that. Stuff that only consumes my time and mind. One of that is considering moving to Tokyo. That's actually mild. On a more wilder side of things, I'm considering moving to the United States. But not like anytime soon. Pero you know! Those kind of things I think about. I will lean towards the positive side thou...

Is older really wiser? I talked to someone really old (not dad) and I was impressed kind of for the first hour of our conversation then after a while, I was told I should get a man. When I said I don't need a man, he was like bakanokotoyuna! (don't say something stupid) And I was like, the heck? I'm a strong black woman... I am 22 you know! I have heaps of time ahead of me (or so I think) so I don't need it as of the moment. And he was like, you're not young anymore! (ouch!) he even told me I should be married by now. Okay.  I mean, am I really that old? Should I be having a quarter life crisis? I don't actually think I have officially started my life yet. Does that sound off? Yeah, but you know! Nothing like that yet so I don't think I should be in a hurry just because. Also, this is the first time I have been referred to as someone old. Well actually, my sisters occasionally tell me I'm old but that's normal because I'm a lot older than them, r...

This won't be the last that I'm doing because you know! There are just a lot of stuff to share.  This! I was so excited to see that it's a CC Cream but at the same time, I was doubtful. Really doubtful. Will it break me out? Will it this and will it that. I don't have an experience with CC Creams so I don't really know what to expect. And! I know I shouldn't be experimenting since my skin is just healing again from horrible breakout so yeah. It was runny. And white. I was like, what do I do? What is this again? LOL. It didn't even  have a color. Are CC Creams supposed to be like that? Or are there CC Creams that are just creams and there are those that are tinted? Mmm... But actually, when applied, I feel kind of different and I actually feel like it's doing something. Also, I didn't have another demon on my face so I think that's good? Of course, too soon to tell. Always.  Then I found these!! I know from th...
