Just like many others, I'm one of those folks who really wanted to leave the Philippines. And left! Not because I have something against the Philippines or something. Just because I have no choice. First of, I'm a  now Japanese National and I guess it's time for me to go back where I belong (nah). All papers and documents aside, I actually love the Philippines. It's where my heart is! Second to my list of why I wanted to leave is related to money. It's not too bad actually! But let's face it, for 6 months, I worked as a Medical Technilogist and as much as I'm concern, it didn't give me much. It rewarded me with an awesome experience though. Also some cash to renew my passport, buy myself a plane ticket, buy make-up, rubbing alcohol, and Lysol every now and then, give few of my relatives a little bit, save some for myself, eat out with friends and family, and save more for myself. Which is not a lot. To be honest, that's all I remember doing with my s...

One time, I was paired with someone my age. I don't know what happened but then all of a sudden, we were talking about family. Her family in particular.  She's Vietnamese. And her mother is in England. Fairly good spirited, always laughing with her friends, and it doesn't seem like she's having this kind of problem. Anyways. As we were talking about life, she said that she doesn't feel any connection to her mom at all. She said that if it weren't for Skype, she wouldn't even know how her mom looks like. Her mom left Vietnam to work in England as a nurse. Also, she said that when her mom came back to Vietnam for a short vacation, she wasn't able to meet her because she's in Japan. And for some reason, she was okay with it.  I was like so sad for her that time and just confronted her with, "can't really do anything about it". And she agreed. As much as I know deep in my heart that her mom only did it for her family's welfare, I so muc...

iPhone 5s in Gold may seem like a very nice thing to have. But in reality, everyone has it. When I signed up for a phone, I was asked right what color do I want my phone to be. White, black, or gold. I was like WHITE at first but on second thought, GOLD. Then my university chant haunted me. BLACK GOLD BLACK WHITE. Anyways. Not a good idea! I thought that since there's not a lot of people who have gold iPhone, I would be unique and stuff but NO. It seems like we're all thinking the same. Feeling unique lang. The thing about gold iPhones is that it's overrated to the max!! But at least I still think that being overrated is still way better than how the iPhone 5s black looks like. Sorry for those who have the black one but I don't really like how it looks like. Of course it can only j ust be me. As always naman. So that's what I want to say. It's kinda sad because we can't turn back time. I'll be more careful next time! That's all. I...

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...

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...

People at work are cofused as to what I really am. I told you that in my previous work, people thought I am not Filipina as they have talked sh't behind me (and front). Back in the Philippines, people actually thought I'm either Chinese or Korean. It's kind of the same story here in Japan.  One person thought I was Vietnamese which made me kilig because for some reason, Vietnamese people are so beautiful. Or at least at my work place before!  One person I am rather fond of thought I am from Peru which I kind of understand because people from Peru at that place looks Asian-ish but nah, we all know I'm not.  Also, because I am friends with a lot of Nepali, people also thought I am one. Well.  Now that I have started with another company, they thought I am Chinese. Sometimes Japanese. I remember I was asked by that nice lady if I want my video presentation on my orientation day to be in Chinese and I was like, I'm not Chinese. I'd like it to Ja...
