Goodbye 2000 yen :(

Goodbye 2000 yen :(

Yup. Lost it. My day is just starting by the way and here we are already. Basically I went to buy my usual stuff at this convenience store and payed 10,000 yen for it and then alright, the guy at the cashier (probably a student) counted the change with me and yeah done with. Then when I was at the shower AKA where I do most of my life decisions, I suddenly remembered did we just count 7000 yen? I mean I only bought total of 480 plus yen so that means I should have 9000 plus yen and I was like, maybe I was not remembering well. When I get out of the shower though! Checked my wallet and 7000 yen indeed. Man, it's disappointing. Can't go back to the shop because I usually forego of my receipts. Also, my fault because we counted together. I must have been out of my mind which I am every morning. I hope they donate it though. They do have a box for donations so I hope they just place it there in that way, I can relax a little. It's kind of hard to accept because I worked for that. It took me an hour and a half to earn that. But oh well. I feel better now. But P.S. please donate. Ciao!

Uneventful Mornings

June 21, 2016 5
Uneventful Mornings

AKA boring routine. Like, same thing everyday. But can't do anything about it. Being adult bore me sometimes. But also, I'm pretty sure it's just me. 

Beautiful sunrise

Some days I'm actually in a good mood and do breakfast and all that. Sometimes though, I can't be bothered. These past few days, I was consistently making breakfast and it feels right you know. That is how to adult! Kind of.


Then after or while eating breakfast, I binge watch Orange is the New Black. I have only started watching this month/ last month? And I'm already at Season 4. Gracious goodness, what am I gonna do after? 

True that
Morning Selfie
Taking a Different Route

From where I live, there's nothing much to see really so yeah basically the same view everyday. 


 I probably haven't blogged about it yet or something but I was/am addicted to Family Mart's Spicy Chicken. Like, yes please.  

Selfie 2.0

Then this. Can I just say that when I used to live with my mama's friend, we used to buy American Corndog at 7/11 almost everyday. Good stuff. That's all. Ciao!

Suicide and Death in Japan (and More)

June 17, 2016 0
Suicide and Death in Japan (and More)

I just want to share my reaction to the recent events that happened. First, with Christina Grimmie. I mean, man, what can I say? She's very fragile. Who the hell on Earth would want to hurt her or even kill her for that matter? I really feel sad and sorry about this. Such a waste of talent. She was too young. I liked Christina Grimmie. Sayang.

Then the shootout at Orlando. Mind you, what's up with Orlando? But you know that must have been very devastating to the family and friends of the people who have lost their lives there. They say everything happens for a reason. But what is the reason behind this really? Wala. Sometimes there's no reason. Sometimes just bad persons. Life is very unpredictable. You just don't know what will happen. Too bad these people have to go. 

Then the 2 year old kid who got dragged by an alligator. I'm not gonna be insensitive about it because you know, things have been said, and right now, there's nothing that will bring back the life of anyone. So shut up nalang ako. But yeah I just hope everyone would be more careful next time. Look after your kids.

The main reason I wanted to blog this is to share what I have witnessed. Suicide. The other day I decided to go withdraw money in front of Yabe station. Then as I was approaching the ATM Machine, the train honked. It actually usually does that when someone's like too close to the end of the platform and it kinda serves as a warning whatever so yeah. But this time, it's because someone jumped. I didn't want to be nosey and everything so I withdrew my cash and when I finished, there were already 3 fire trucks, 2 police cars, and 2 ambulance. But you know, there's no getting out of that. Nice try. And that made me think that some people were recently killed against their will and then some people can easily take their own lives away. Sayang. I remember something from childhood. Same thing happened but it was more graphic. We were about to cross the train thing and then he jumped. It was very bloody. Like he was cut in half. Gracious goodness. Anyways, I hope I made my point.

Two of my college friends visited me here in Japan separately and they asked the same question regarding the gates guarding the rails in Tokyo area. I actually just said "to prevent suicidal people from jumping." Well I don't really know for sure but it makes sense because it's Tokyo. And Tokyo is Tokyo. And I get away with it so whatevs. Ciao!

Curry and Cake

Curry and Cake

Went to a restaurant in Nakayama near work with a friend and it was awesome. I could survive eating this food all my life. I especially liked the cheese bread that they dip in curry. Yums! I noticed that with this kind of food, you really have to give it a time. You just can't rush. Will go back soon! :) 

Friend I went with
Time to work!

I went to work so full and then I was told that there's gonna be lotsa food for the celebration. I mean, someone's fvcking up with my diet. But then again what diet?

Our Birthday Celebrants

These are my co-workers. Man, I'm glad I work with them and not others. I probably wouldn't have survived. But I mean, come on, I usually don't care and that already saved me from troubles before but still! I'm thankful I get to work with them. 


Ciao!

Orange is the New Black

June 14, 2016 2
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 people. Don't freak out. 


I have finished watching season 2 and counting? Let's get it straight. I don't ever want to be in prison but this show is bomb. Here are my thoughts about the prisoners. I have a problem with Alex Vause. I think I don't like her. I mean, why do you guys like her again? I don't have a favorite character at this point yet but you know, just being nosey and checking everyone out. I'd like to say Chapman but nah, I think she's like Vause but you know, from a different perspective, I'm rooting on her. I kind of like Maritza's character but nah. Not much of a character I realized. A lot of attitude though. Also, she's pretty. Instinct tells me this Asian chick Brook should be my home girl but I haven't seen a lot of her yet. She's too loud for some reason. Mmm... I think I like Nicky. I can see myself in her for some reason. You know, looking after her friends and all that. I also like Morello. I mean, she's just so precious. And innocent if you ask me. Who else? I like Tiffany for some reason. I mean, I didn't like it when she was all cranky and all that but I learned to like her I think. I like Bennett only because he's cute but you know, gutless mothereffer. Sayang. I liked Rosa's little gesture. I mean, she did killed the Queen Vee so that's something. Maybe I don't like prisoners in general. Well of course. 


Anyways, I did a test from a website and this happened. TWICE. I actually have a love and hate relationship with Red but I can see some of our similar traits. That's all. And oh by the way, Red flirting with Healy is so uncalled for. Ciao!

Meiji Jingu in Harajuku

June 12, 2016 2
Meiji Jingu in Harajuku

This was like so unexpected. I thought we were just roaming around Harajuku and see some cute stuff but apparently, they were here before but didn't go all the way so this time they planned to go. For real. 

The Arch

I'm glad I came with because this is probably not somewhere I'd go by myself but who knows? I might. 

No Idea what these are

It's actually kind of a long walk to the main shrine and I guess it's just more of a tourist thing but yeah it's nice.  


Cleansing area. Before saying a prayer, it is mandatory to purify or something. You have to wash your hands and mouth with water. 

With Allurie 

I actually went with a college friend with her family. Nice that we saw each other after like 3 years? They were actually having a renovation in the place and I thought they're closed officially but yeah all good. Should probably be back to see improvements. Also, did you know that they don't use nails in building these shrines? I didn't know either. 
It was a nice trip. It was a good day to say a prayer and ask for wellness and all that. It was also nice that even just for a little time, I got to hang with my friend. Ciao!

Japanese Pure Smile Masks

June 11, 2016 1
Japanese Pure Smile Masks
Variety of masks

Honey Apple 
- Smells yummy! I didn't really feel anything supreme after the mask treatment but it was good (I think). At least my skin gets to drink up something. It's dehydrated as F. 


Pearl
- Smells clean. No difference still. But I still think it's my skin. Or am I just blinded by all of these? 


Silk
- Smells white. Is that even a thing? Hahaha. I like the smell of this though.


Cherry Blossom 
- Smells pink for some reason. Also, can I just say that I am actually listing this in order and at this point, I kinda feel that my skin is getting better. Or maybe that's just me. 


Bee Venom
- Rebelious name huh? This felt really cold on my skin. I actually think that this is all but illusion but you know, it was cold and somehow it stings a little. Again, might be all but illusion. 

Peach 
- Smells very fruity. I liked the smell of this. 


Green Tea
- Smells exactly like it. I don't know what to say. I guess I'm kind of puzzled because what kind of green tea extract did they use to come up with a clear extract? I would be more impressed if it was green.


Snake Venom 
- So think this is gimmicky but glad I tried and nothing crazy happened to my face. I used it at the peak of my sickness so it's either it didn't smell like anything or it doesn't smell at all. I have no idea.


Aloe Vera
- Smells like Herb. And I noticed that this one actually contained the less product. Not that it's sticky or anything. Just less product. I don't know if it's just the pack I had or if my skin was so thirsty that it absorbed right away but yeah. Although I must say that it's soothing to the skin and it kind of made my skin supple and all that right after. No idea what's up. 


Horse Oil
- I don't want to know. 


Gold 
- How can a gold have an essence again?

Royal Jelly

At this point, I'm actually getting the hang of it. Even though they might not be doing anything at all, I like to think that they do. They might actually be doing something though. Who knows? Ciao!

How to be Single/2 Days Off

June 09, 2016 0
How to be Single/2 Days Off

I got this idea as a post because I was off for 2 days and I saw this movie that was tagged to me from long ago and so I watched. Anyways, I have consumed my last bath bomb from Lush so I may have to restock soon. I also may have used an expired bath bomb. Mmm...


We all need something to calm as down sometimes. Also, I woke up with the worst hangover! Not likey. Wrong move. I don't actually get drunk but this time I think I did. Drunk texting and making phone calls and shiz.

I watched House MD, and started watching Orange is the New Black. I like it. I also watched How to be Single from the illegal movie site that I am fond of. And it was okay. I think I'm more of Robin in that film. And the doctor as well. I forgot her name. 


Ordered pizza and chips. It was good! Oh and I also watched Neighbors 2. I'm like Zac Efron. Gah I think I'm getting old. I remember Paskuhan 2015 when I'm like pissed off with college freshmen.  


Being single means preparing thy own food. Didn't prepare some fancy dish as I would have if I got 2 days off. I had corned beef, steak, and fish instead. Ciao!

Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

June 06, 2016 3
Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

This place has always been a part of me growing up. We go here probably once a year or two to watch the dolphins and all that shizz. I'm glad to be able to come back. 


To be honest, I don't remember anything. Must have been different pushing baby strollers than just walking on your own. 


Sea Paradise is indeed a paradise. It has 4 aquariums and a decent amusement park. I like it. Subtle.   

Scary
Focus

As much as I also like the idea of releasing them to their natural habitat, I can't complain because they all look so well fed. So keep it up.

Sea Lions
Beluga Whales
Dolphins

Way way back ago when we used to go to these shows, I once dreamed of becoming a trainer. I still want to become one. 

With Brybry 
Dolphin Fantasy

Just hangin' out with mah hommies.

Kare Rice 
Cutie

Cute dolphin that's always ready for the camera. The dolphin is wounded though so maybe that's why he's in a different quadrant. 

Choo choo

I think this was our first ride besides the train. I also had headache after. The kids that we rode with were just playing and riding over and over again. 


Favorite ride ever. I miss this already. I think I read it somewhere that this is the longest rollercoaster? Fastest? Can't recall which.


I'm a sucker for sunsets and that time, I got to watch one. It was beautiful. 

Anchor ride

The place was so not crowded even it's a Holiday so we were able to ride then and there. Awesome isn't it?

Peter Pan's ride

I remember being terrified of this ride as a kid. I didn't really ride before but I had this notion that this is a scary ride so glad to be able to break past that. 

The Tower

Can I just say that this concept should be a thing. Everyone sits and the thing goes up, and you appreciate the view. Most of the time, it's you queuing, and walking, and make your way thru by-standers so you can't really see the view all that much. Hear this please.

Night View

It was a nice trip back to my childhood. I'd be glad to come back again with my sisters for they might not remember a thing about this. Ciao!
