Just Another Update of my life

2009-04-09T16:44:00.000-07:00

Lately it's been boring... Thank God for NEWS which spiced up my life... with their new single Koi no Abo, which I think is their best single to date, my spirits are getting high... I so love the PV! Massu looked so hot and cute at the same time ^__^
will edit this post later for some caps of the pv...

I also got a tv in my room now and I just spent 29GBP for a scart adapter to get freeview channels but I still need to buy an aerial... I also have the internet by Sky broadband up and running now =D
I'm slowly settling down in this country... Thank God.

I also had a long video chat through Skype with my mom and dad. My Dad will be going to China tomorrow to visit his old father--- my grandad in Xiamen... I'm happy for him, hope everything goes well. I also found out my brother's been gone for the whole week! He's off partying in Bantayan Island with his friends... that guy can't really sit around in the house!

I've had a good day off today and it's back to work again tomorrow night... =(

Ja ne!

stressed

2009-03-29T13:53:00.000-07:00

I just made a terrible mistake at work... I know my manager's dissapointed or upset with me and all I can do is say sorry...
anyway I don't wanna remember bad things so I won't elaborate on this more...

and I barely had a day off...

The only good thing is, I shopped for a bit to compensate for the bad and stressful things in life...

I bought a black jacket with hood and a green shirt which were on sale at this shop in town called Internacionale, both for only 10 pounds...

So at least it's something that can make me happy... and Massu of course...

Tentative Plan

2009-03-23T16:17:00.000-07:00

Ok I'm still unsure of my career path... But I've become really interested in dental nursing.

1. get a working visa after my student visa expires, move to london or kent, work for a year while studying a course in dental nursing part time. 2010-2011
2. be a dental nurse 2011-2012

I feel like blogging

2009-03-19T13:21:00.000-07:00

Ok I'm off tonight... I just chatted with one of my best friends in life, karla... I really miss my friends back home. I wish we could do our regular hangouts like before. I'll really go back and we'll have a reunion once again next year =) Like we planned, it's gotta be a beach celebration... with elena getting married, karla and prescil graduating and me having a job... it's worth celebrating ne?
by the way here's a beautiful painting made by karla for her university's exhibit...

the people there standing are her sister and friends... but that's us on the wall... (From left:karla in her kawaii lolita costume, elena and her daughter and me, the nurse... I was really moved by this... Thank you, karla!!!

On another note, I'm trying my best here in this foreign land by myself. It's not really perfect here and I don't feel complete yet. I'm just glad to be doing something. Work is not perfect and the people around me are not perfect... but well I guess there's really no such thing as a perfect life. We'll have good and bad times, Meet good and not-so good people... Like there's this bossy woman at work who acts like a know-it-all (but we just ignore her). I only care about myself here anyway since my loved ones are back home...

Everything's costly here too so I really learned what it's like to budget your own money... It's a nice experience for me to grow up...

I can't wait to go back home and see my family and friends...

This Fits Me Right Now...

2009-03-06T05:17:00.000-08:00

Because I still feel homesick... T^T

Miso Soup- by Tegomasu

Just another "same ol'day"
Picking up the same ol''food
The dinner from the shelf
I got used to eating alone
Just by myself, but something makes me feel kind of tired
Another package arrived with a note
Asking if everything's alright with me
Whenever I call you ask me
If I am coming home for the, New year holiday
Miso Soup, I feel your loving
Tender care, it's always nice and hot
I'm always a kid, I'll never be matured enough
Never asked for anything
You gave me all the love you had
All the love you gave me, Mom
Makes me want to see you again
Feels a little cold, today
Nothing much better to do
Than just watch TV at home
I got used to being alone
Just by myself, but something makes me feel the loneliness
Still I see you in my, in my mind
With your head out the door with the smile that's so Mom
I always wonder if you're doing fine
Maybe, this is the year, the year that I should go home
Miso Soup, I still remember
It's in my heart, when things are going tough
So I'd never get lost, you would alwas hold my hand
Never asked for anything
You were always there for me
Makes me come back to your smile
I'll always be there for you
When you get tired of that life
'cause life in the city is not everything
Come back home anytime

Miso Soup, I feel your loving
Tender care, it's always nice and hot
I'm always a kid, I'll never be matured enough
Never asked for anything
You gave me all the love you had
All the love you gave me, Mom
Makes me want to see you again

Makes me want to see you again

I miss mom, dad, my annoying brother and winky... Even though we chat often through skype, it's still different when you live with them and eat my mom's homecooked meal...

Update of Myself

2009-02-24T11:18:00.000-08:00

I feel like blogging tonight... ever since I got here in the U.K, I halted my blogging habits because of the ff. factors: 1. I had no internet during my 1st 2 weeks here that I got depressed, got homesick, cried silently etc. but then God had mercy on me and I discovered this unlocked wi-fi from my neighbor in a certain spot in my room...Now I'm happy... 2. I'm not using a desktop nor a big enough laptop, but an asus notebook which is tiny and the keyboard makes you wanna type less... 3. I have work so I'm a little busy.

I'm happy with my job at the moment and I'm getting along well with my flatmate and co-workers. Everything's new and it really is a major life change for me but life is good here, I'm loving and enjoying my freedom and independence at the moment... Wish me luck!

Will update when not busy...

Girls Day Out

2008-12-26T22:39:00.000-08:00

Yesterday (12.26.2008 ) I had a blast with my highschool best friends. For the first time in my life I drank hard liquor... I used to only drink red wine on rare occasions so that was a first to me. LOL. It was Elena's treat anyway ^__^. After drinking I have a "so-this-is-how-it-feels" kind of feeling *haha* Well, let me start from the beginning. First we met up at Ayala (near blue magic @ 10am) --"early ne? well, that's how we are, EARLY BIRDS. We usually meet like that for years so when we plan on meeting up Karla would just SMS us with this line: same time, same place. XD When I came, Elena and Karla were already there and Prescil was the last one to come, fussing over the taxi who doesn't have any change to her money. So I gave them the gifts--- a red silk robe for Elena(since she's getting married), a lamp for Karla and a desk clock for Prescil. I was on a tight budget as I used my parent's money to buy those gifts. If it was my own money I would've spent more. Anyways, I hope when they say they appreciate it, they were telling the truth. =) I'd give them much better gifts next time when I start earning my own okane. Which would be next year! *can't wait* So when Prescil came, Karla treated us to KFC (for her late b-day treat). YUm! KFC's Chicken never fails to satisfy me. Next we watched a local Filipino movie ("Shake, Rattle and Roll"). It's supposed to be a scary movie. The genre is horror. But we ended up giggling instead because it really wasn't scary at all. Try corny. After the movie, we ate sushi! *mecha oishii yo!* It costs P120 for a plate of mixed sushis. Ahhh nothing beats japanese cuisine. (^__^) *satisfied* Then we went for a drink... Elena treated us to alcoholic beverages at (i-forgot-what-the name-of-that-bar-was). If I remembered everything right, she ordered blow job, white and black russian and fruit punch. We took turns in tasting each drink. LOL. I was amused in drinking those drinks that I never imagined I could drink. I know I'll never be addicted to alcoholic beverages. But it's nice to try to be cool once in a while and get drunk. Err, luckily for a first timer, I didn't get drunk. They just told me my face was red after drinking. I felt slightly dizzy too but that was just for a second. Thank God my body's strong to alcohol. Our next stop was karaoke. We ended up at BTC's Pod5 KTV and we were so urusai belting our hearts out at karaoke. I was feeling like an R n B artist so I did the rapping to their amusement. XD. ( I wonder if my being crazy has something to do with the liquor I drank). Elena ordered a pitcher of Tequila, and 2 plates of Nachos. We were eating and drinking while singing and screaming our hearts out. Prescil was even kidding around, trying to hook me up with the waiter named Eric. LOL >.< We were so loud that even the attendants outside heard our singing. They were beaming at us as we paid the bill. XD Must have thought we were err... Crazy? haha. I know we wouldn't see each other in a long time since I'll be in the U.K for 2 years in a work and study program and Elena's moving to another town and get married. So we just went crazy all day. The Fun Day has finally come to an end. So we went home and parted ways and I reached home at around 8 30PM. It was the best hangout ever. I'm gonna remember that and carry those memories with me to the U.K. They will always be my friends. Love those girls... =)

2008-11-11T04:45:00.000-08:00

This afternoon I met up with my shinyuu nik chan again and we strolled 2 malls! whew... first we went to Ayala then SM... strolling and strolling... lol

First we were HERE

and HERE:

It's also Tegoshi Yuya's birthday today! Tanjoubi Omedetou! XD

Massu is gonna form a temporary unit with co TU-YU stars (Kazama, who's formerly with 4TOPS and Hikaru of HSJ) and the song is soba ni iru yo or iru ne ( i think)... sugoii! lots of projects for Massu these days...

Here's the streaming news for TU-YU:

I just watched the shounen club ep last sunday subbed by newshfan@LJ and massu looked cute in his outfit! he's the only one who could pull that off!

I finally finished downloading Hana Kimi SP! Nakatsu's monologues are the best! Only Toma can pull that role off perfectly!

2008-11-06T03:46:00.000-08:00

(Credits to lilprox@LJ) Masuda Takahisa (NEWS) and Nakamaru Yuichi (KAT-TUN) will both star in the drama "RESCUE" starting January 2009 on TBS, Saturdays 8PM...

http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/081106/gnj0811060503013-n1.htm

Yeeyyy! at last! Massu is finally in a drama! the other day I was wondering why he isn't shown much on TV. Tegoshi has itteQ, Pi and Ryo have dramas, Koyama is a host in SC, Shige just had a drama... Now it's Massu's turn!

My First attempt in making Gyoza

Today, my cousin Richel and I met up and we went to church, then together with my 2 nieces (Moonyeen and Mica) , we went to SM to watch a local movie (My Only U). It was really hilarious that we watched it twice! LOL... Then we had dimsum for dinner and played bowling... Tanoshii!!!

It was a great day!

Currently watching HEROES

2008-10-27T02:13:00.000-07:00

Hana Kimi SP

2008-10-21T16:45:00.001-07:00

I couldn't hold it any longer... LOL I tried stopping myself to wait for the SP with subs but I failed...
When I heard the raw was already up in crunchyroll... I had to watch it...

The SP was hilarious despite my limited understanding of the japanese language... as expected Toma nailed it... Everyone were hilarious and great! I don't want to spill the spoilers out in case someone who hasn't watched the SP might read this.. Anyways, it was great but it still left me craving out for more... I want more... more SP's! a 2nd season or a movie! LOL

I'll definitely be downloading the hardsubbed version...

Bonding time with highschool pals

2008-10-18T01:55:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I met up with my high school buddies, Elena, Karla and Prescil. Elena is getting slimmer and sexier everytime we meet! ^^ and Karla still has the same cute kiddie kind of feeling.. Prescil seemed to lost some weight too!

Anyway... zannen... I don't have any pic of yesterday's hangout so I'll just blab about it here...

First we met at the usual place- Ayala mall, Blue Magic
I think it was Elena who first arrived followed by Karla, Me and Prescil.

Before continuing... I want to tell you that we were pigging out yesterday ^_^

We had burger, fries and coke float as lunch at Mc Donalds (talk about junk! hehe normally I prefer a real healthy meal but it's not bad too eat junk once in a while with friends)

Speaking of junk... yeah we ate junk all day @_@

We bought tickets to watch the movie: The Three Kingdoms and since there's still an hour left before it starts... We roamed around for a while, talked about old highschool memories... and some highschool classmates and schoolmates we recently ran into.

Elena was seriously looking for a possible drinking bar that would open in broad daylight...

Karla and I (who are the no smoking, no drinking type of girls) just supported them in looking for a drinking place.

But there was none... T_T---> both elena and prescil's expressions lol.

Anyways Karla was craving for something to eat again ... We bought popcorn before going in the theater.

Karla finished her popcorn in like, 15minutes! *CHEERS!*

I didn't finish mine... I'm about to burp from fullness. I kept them in my bag to bring it home =)

But the movie was cool! Though the ending was a bit dissapointing.

We roamed again and finally gave in to Karla's craving to eat again... (This girl's stomach can digest way too fast! lol but it's actually a cute side of her) I love people with a good appetite....
*Remembers Massu*

Anyways we had donuts and a cold chocolate drink.Yum!!!

Then it's time for byebye!

we went home in separate ways....

Ahhh... It's a good feeling to meet with old friends....

kimochiii!!!

License and Crepes

NEWS: Happy Birthday Single Coupling Songs Lyrics

2008-10-07T21:30:00.000-07:00

Since I already posted the HB lyrics previously... Here are the coupling songs :

1. Game of Love (my most favorite of all the songs in the HB single!)

Romaji:

Give me one more kiss Take me higher sky
Give me one more touch Bet me all your love
It’s just a GAME of LOVE

nee sono hitomi no naka mada minu ore ga saachiraito terasare
You’re searching for my intention
YES or NO　kimerarenai tomadoi keshite
isso dou ni demo nare yo konya wa hanasanai
