SHIKIMIKIE

Ohana!  As I grow older, I find it harder to eat a lot. Charot! But yeah I tend to be more pickier with my food but it doesn’t really mean I eat less or anything. Just you know, I kind of eat food that I like and skip food that I don’t like as much.  For my mom’s 52nd birthday, we went to a place called Yakimix. I have blogged about this place of course but now it's because it's my mother's birthday. MEAT SELECTION Their meat was just not it. I don't know. I feel like it's a hit or miss with this one.  Their Japanese section was also not impressive. I don't know. I remember it being more acceptable in a sense.  I enjoyed eating it though. I mean, it was not bad. Just not good.  There's also a significant decrease in the number of variants they offer. Sad.  LOL I remember my auntie asking me when I got the broccolis. Well, if you may ask, I got it from the beef bulgogi thingy.  This is my first plate and I actually got more or less the same food for my ...

  In this post, I just want to share that your girl is now fully vaccinated. I don't know how it will be able to protect me or everyone around me but I hate hate hate how relaxed I feel in general. Like, pre-vaccination, I would wash my hands maybe every 15 minutes. I never touch anything at work without wearing gloves, and all that. After vaccination, I kinda lean towards my usual way pre-COVID. I still wash my hands though! Just not as often. I don't know. To be honest, I feel like I'd catch or maybe already caught the virus again at some point. But you know, KNOCK ON WOOD cause your girl will fly to Japan soon! Did you guys miss my Japan post? Is it just me? LOL. So yeah there's that. My second dose was sooo much better. No symptoms at all! Well, except for the pain on the injection site. I still took paracetamol like I did before so I don't know if I prevented the symptoms altogether or if there's no symptoms at all. I guess the first dose was so traumatic t...

HI FOLKS! So not so long ago, my co-workers and I had a talk about our childhood pictures. Well, it kinda started when one of us showed a picture when she was younger and basically she asked us to bring a physical photo album of our childhood pictures sort of (which we didn't end up doing by the way). I am lucky because my mom made sure to have all these and a whole lot more photos taken when I was younger. So yeah! I'm actually just gonna repost these as I've already shared these with everyone on my old blogspot. Peace! I have no recollection whatsoever of this so it's nice to have these photos to look at and just know that it happened. It's kinda why I keep a blog as well. I guess I got it from my momma.  My biological dad. I don’t know and I don’t remember anything from it but my mom said I’ve been to Ueno Zoo many times before. My only memory of it was quite recent when I went with my Nepali friends.    How cute am I with those ternos?  One thing I remember from...

Where is the lie? (Relevant but not for long) I had my first dose of the vaccine on March 26, 2021. As per WHO’s recommendation, SINOVAC isn’t advised for medical front-liners and then there was this debate that Medical Technologists such as myself isn’t really considered a front-liner and stuff but yeah that’s for another story. Maybe later in the post.  Before coming to work, I already took one paracetamol to kind of prep myself for the whole procedure. I’m sorry, liver.  To my surprise, they let us choose what to get and I actually don’t mind getting any of the two that is available but I opted for the one that is “recommended”. But it’s just me. You can get whatever you want. Just get it ASAP.  This is me getting jabbed. Initial feeling is actually just pain on the area. Nothing really weird.  This is my celebratory meal. Loved it.  CHILLS. FEVER. DIARRHEA. VOMITING. HEADACHE. A little bit of all of that. Well actually, the headache was kind of severe on the...

About a month ago, after months of missed period, I decided to have it checked. I don't know why I wasn't that concerned though coz I remember this thing happened last year too and I guess my period came in and continued coming on the clock for several months so...yeah. I initially thought that last year's shenanigans is brought upon by stress which is maybe true but this year is less stressful for me in a way but I also thought it's probably because of the Corona virus and stuff but yeah I decided to have it checked by the tech and yeah I had a whole abdomen ultrasound that time and she said she can’t really find anything beside my perfect looking kidneys and my fatty liver so she said I should have it checked by the doctor and yeah. I had a Trans-V ultrasound and I don’t know if the doc’s just so used to it but she sounded so unconcerned when she said “poly cystic ka lang dear”. I don’t know if it’s nothing to be concerned about or maybe that’s just how she approach p...

A little over a month ago, we went to this place at SM North Edsa and had lunch. Birthday lunch to be exact. It was actually my first time here and even with the precautions they’re doing with the ongoing pandemic and all, I still enjoyed. I mean, we went to two different buffets and the experience was just not the same. I actually wonder what’s it like here before the pandemic.  They had this mini photo booth that I many pictures of. Myself and my sister.  They had this cute valentine cake going on. I actually didn’t bring any ID with me which I should have bought because they have a birthday promo and my meal should have actually been free but too bad.  Chicken Hainanese Stuff for grilling. I had soo many shrimp! No regrets! I actually didn’t try much of the other stuff they have that day which is not the right way to attack a buffet if you ask me.  The shabu shabu thing they have going on also have pre-made set and all you have to do is to order a soup to put it i...

One week ago, your girl turned 29 years old! I mean, we're almost at the end of my 20's and it's quite scary to be honest. I mean it's only a year older but there's something about hitting that mark I guess. I mean, it wasn't as big of a deal when I was 19 turning 20 for sure but yeah (checks old blog) -- It turns out I started blogging shortly after my 20th birthday so I couldn't really tell you if I was like, whoah! I'm 20. Anyway.  This cake is called Cookieccino and for some reason, I like it. Everyone else in the fam didn't like this as much but me likey!  This is the cake my co-medtechs got me! They're all vibin' with the cake's theme yeah? Thanks, guys! I appreciate you all!  This is what my mom got me. She's really into the SHEIN thing which I don't really get. I mean, maybe I'm just not big into clothes is all. I'm big into chocolates though!  The main celebration was when we ate at this hotspot place and it was s...
