From the article:

Eiga Sai 2011: The Japanese Film Festival

An exquisite Japanese cinematic masterpiece at all levels - visual, aural, emotional, spiritual, awaits Eiga Sai fanatics this July featuring Departures, winner of the 81st Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2009.

First Week Hell

Okay. So this is just a hurried post as I was really supposed to research for my maternal and child care report... But I really need some outlet for my frustrations. Heeeeere we go~

FIRST DAY!!! (Tuesday: 7.30 am to 1 pm)
Met our clinical instructor [we will call him Mr. J] that looks a little like Wolverine ('cause of his sooo grown-up but otherwise cute beard) but has the voice as soft as an angel. We had a briefing for our up-coming health center duty. <3

SECOND DAY!!!! (Wednesday, same sched)
Mr. J wasn't present, but at least the academic coordinator arranged us into groups for our duty. Each group will work in one health center.

THIRD DAY!!!!! (Thursday, 7am to 7pm)
Today and tomorrow will be our schedules for our hospital duty. We were rearranged (but almost the same people in the group :P) and we had a few pretest/post-tests too. BUT the main highlight of this day is when my #1 favorite professor (and my almost-crush) Mr. C came to visit us!!! OOWAH~ Demo, he has gotten thinner already...

FOURTH DAY!!!! (Friday, same sched)
It was raining today. I thought classes would be suspended (as it was really was raining so hard), but the academic coordinator told us we'll have a class. So even if I really didn't want to... I had to. But guess what? We went home at noon, as the classes were cut. Waste of time... I should've just watched PVs...

FIFTH DAY!!!! (Saturday, 7.30 am to 5.30 pm)
Whatta schedule! Classes even on Saturdays! We had a lecture in Microbiology and Parasitology, after which we were sent home after lunch. :) And I watched Yan Yan JUMP for the first time... Unfortunately Morimoto Ryutaro's last time as he won't be a member of Hey! Say! JUMP anymore because of the smoking issue...

SIXTH DAY!!! (Monday, 7.30 am to 9 pm -LOOK AT THAT!)
(Today) Yes, I know. 14 f*cking hours at school, and going back at 7 am the next day. KILL ME.
Mr. C was supposed to be our professor, but since he was not available (I heard he's studying for his master's degree! ***ganbattene!)  Another but not less qualified professor took over and we discussed REPRODUCTION because of my pervy classmates. :P

That's my first week, and hopefully the rest of the semester and year will not be as toxic as that. :)

Hey! Say! JUMP’s Morimoto Ryutaro activities supsended due to underage smoking

Hey! Say! JUMP member, Morimoto Ryutaro’s (16) smoking photos recently appeared on the latest issue of “Shukan Josei” which was released on June 28th. Because of this, Johnny & Associatesmade an announcement that Morimoto’s entertainment activities will be suspended indefinitely.

Overnight Home Pimple Remedy

This article is a really big help, although I don't have the basil leaves, oranges and other things at first... well, this is for everyone who JUST. HATES. ACNE. (There's a link under...)

It never fails—right before some major event—an interview, a big date, the prom, IT strikes; or rather, a ZIT strikes! It’s true, acne has a way of showing up at the worst possible time but we’ve got an overnight home pimple remedy that will knock your socks off. And the best thing is that you don’t have to leave the house—our overnight home pimple remedy is made from things you already have on hand!So instead of rushing out to buy the latest pimple remedies or “zit” remedy, head to the kitchen—after all, many of the acne lotions and creams on the market include a few herbs and spices on their ingredient list.Our overnight home pimple remedy takes a three pronged approach to deal with the “acne problem.” First, dry up any excess oil. Next, reduce any swelling. Finally, reduce the redness.

Don’t Skip Breakfast!Breakfast is an important way to start your day, and a breakfast food is what we’ll start out with on the path to clear skin. A mask of oatmeal is a creat zit remedy — it will thoroughly cleanse your skin and soak up any excess oil. Mix oatmeal with just enough water to make a paste and apply to the affect area and allow to dry for 20—30 minutes. Rinse with tepid water.

Then it’s on to phase two—reduce that swelling!To reduce swelling, grind fresh orange peel and mix it with water to form a paste. Apply it gently and leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Let the anti-inflammatory properties of orange peel work its pimple remedy magic.Next, it’s time to get the red out! Add 3 teaspoons of dried basil leaves to 1 cup boiling water and let steep for 10-20 minutes. After it cools, apply to affected area with a cotton ball. This is one of the finest herbal pimple rememdies and also functions as an excellent general tonic for problem skin.

Our last “prescription” is a good night’s sleep. During sleep is when your body repairs itself so give it a chance to do just that. Your own body is a good pimple remedy, believe it or not! When you wake up, that pesky acne problem will seem like it was all a bad dream.

BoA - Happy Birthday (songfic inspiration)

I wanna make a fan fiction of Ueda Tatsuya with the song "Happy Birthday" by BoA Kwon as basis. It's kind of easier to make song fics because you have an idea already about your plot, all you have to do is fill up the itsy-bitsy details. I chose this song (it's my 3rd song choice actually) because it's cute and the plot is practically SHOUTING AT YA! hahaha! I hope I can finish the fic in my hectic schedule... 


BoA Kwon - Happy Birthday
machiwabita Happy birthday todokanai I love you

Translation (my actual basis :D)

Impatient of waiting Happy birthday, unreached I love you

I wonder what the you today knows, although I've always been by your side

Always two of us together, merrily meet and gazed upon each other

It seems I thought that even without words, it will be fine

The promise I made with you, I wonder if you still remember

The wish at that time still remains the same

Spring is coming again, in the middle of the street is glittering

While thinking of you, I chose the present

Impatient of waiting Happy Birthday, unreached I love you

I wonder if the you today is smiling. Although I've always been by your side

after how long is only time flows

Will it become easier, will it be completely forgotten

If only hurt memories are remembered just a little

The season only filled with your real self

Celebrations were always with the two of us

Your dreams were always seen together and always wished to make them come true for you

From my heart happy birthday, all alone I miss you

Someday when your dream starts to blossom, I wanted to be by your side to see it

Spring is coming again, in the middle of the street it's glittering

While thinking of you, I chose the present

Impatient of waiting Happy Birthday, unreached I love you

I wonder if the you today is smiling. Because I'm always praying for your happiness

Happy Birthday to Me and Inoo Kei

Well well well. I used to hate my birthday because it ALWAYS RAINS. I mean, I was born on a stormy night, and ever since my birthday always had rain in it.

But lately, I've been really thankful that I was born on the blessed 22nd of June. Why?

BECAUSE IT'S ALSO KEI INOO'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!


And it so happens that he's my Hey! Say! JUMP ichiban, and Hey! Say! BEST ichiban too. (Yabu is my HSJ niban, Keito Okamoto is my H!S!7 ichiban, and my HSJ sanban) Wahahaha!

I feel so lucky since I know very well that I'm one of very few fangirls out there that share the same tanjoubi with him. Hahaha! I LOVE IT! *I'm starting to dance in delight here*

I wanna make another picspam, but I just put in those pics that really made me fall down dead. *And made me rise again. :P* Here goes!



**so handsome~


**no, Kei, I DON'T THINK SO. DON'T DO THAT. *grrr~ yummy white skin LOL*


**WTF?!?!?!?! Kei-kun! Don't tempt me with those eyes and lips... *I can't take this anymore~*


**I. WANT. HIM. AS. MY. PROF. RIGHT. NOW.

And finally... (because my bro has to use the computer already)

**Imagine going to school with THIS GUY.

So... That ends it! My short-lived kinda-worship of Kei Inoo. hehehe! I wanna post more but my JE ichiban, Fairy Princess Ueda Tatsuya might kill me if he knew. :P

Saa... ja ne!!!

Advanced Birthday Party

Today I held my advanced birthday party with my friends Nate* and Lynne* (names changed) at our house. We met at the mall, and they joined me as I shopped for the spaghetti ingredients, soda and other food. It was such an enjoyable day!

The supermarket was having its Free Taste Day today, so it seemed. We visited almost ten booths of "free taste", from chocolate milk to Kit-Kat Orange. Nate even commented, with a comically faux solemn emotion, that people now are so bad, even putting oranges inside chocolates. Hahaha! Lynne and I just laughed with him. We ran over the place twice, returning to look for things like Pocky, ice cream, cheese and mushrooms. We were like kids who had a shopping spree!

We took a ride towards our house, and we started to chat and eat at the same time. It was so hilarious to see Nate "suffer" because his stomach is so full already, and how we giggled over foolish TV commercials. But the most important thing that happened is that I spent the day together with two of the most important people of my life. Even if it wasn't my birthday yet, I really felt as though it really is today. :)

My Trip to the Embassy and My Return to the Alma Mater p1

Since this entry is so long, I just had it separated into two parts. :)

Part 1 [Destination:Embassy]

Today I went to the Japan Information and Cultural Center (or also called as the JICC) here at the Philippines, which is actually beside the Embassy itself. J The JICC has really very strict entrance regulations, so it’s really too bad I can’t take pictures of what’s inside...

I told the guards on duty that I would like to avail of the free Monbusho consultation, and they just asked me to surrender my ID and all my devices (which included my camphone, unfortunately, so I haven’t really got any pictures), then I’m presented with a visitor’s ID and I’m on~

The JICC is in the 2nd floor of a building with pretty oriental landscaping and some waiting areas outside reminiscent of what I’ve seen at Japanese universities’ waiting and lounging areas, so pretty... The Library (where I’m supposed to go) is located upstairs. There is an outside staircase so I took that and yahoo! I’m at the lobby of the JICC already!

There is a miniature of a samurai’s armor and mini-versions of Japan’s World Heritage Sites, especially the Kinkakuji and the seaside temple at Hiroshima with the red torii (I forgot what that one’s called :P) I told the librarian that I was going to have the consultation, and she made me fill up the log sheet before letting me in. Talk about letting me in! I have to open a door, and before I get really inside the library there is some kind of air-lock door before finally opening up. It’s like security door-space-security door-library. (It made me feel like I’m entering a bank vault :P) I perused a few university prospectuses available before the counsellor arrived.

I sat in front of her, actually shaking in my seat in nervousness. Good thing the counsellor was a nice woman, and she really made me quite more confident and comfortable... J She even gave me a guide book! So kind of her~ I asked her my questions that I prepared for about a month before, and I’m glad I got all my questions answered. She even told me I got a good chance because I studied in a SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL~ so IF I pass the document screening and I do well in the English, Biology, Chemistry and Math I MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE THE CHANCE!!! (This is all too good to be true~) I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up yet, but what are dreams without FAITH right? J I have to pray more to Mother Mary, Jesus Christ and GOD above all~

After the consultation session I took some time to look at the universities’ prospectuses and before I exited thru the “bank-vault” door, the librarian gave me lots of Nipponia magazines to take home LOL... hahaha! I love the Library!!! I went to their comfort rooms and I was shocked~ The lights are motion sensor operated! :o I exited through a rotating gate, got my things, walked about half a kilometre before I got to an overpass and found a shuttle... Finally I’m on my way to MunSci (Short name of our school, Muntinlupa Science High School). I guess I might’ve slept a little on the way, as it was really humid outside and the shuttle was sooo cosily cold~ J

When I got out of the shuttle I bought a burger and soda on a store nearby and ate it on my way to MunSci~ 

Read Part 2

My Trip to the Embassy and My Return to the Alma Mater p2

Part 2 [Destination: Alma mater]

I arrived there about 12 noon. I waited for the visiting doctor to come (because I’m gonna help her with the medical check-ups of the students participating in the FunRun on June 19, on the eve of Dr. Jose Rizal’s 150^th birthday :P) She arrived late, about 30 minutes past our scheduled time, because she said she was caught in traffic. Too bad traffic is a major cause of tardiness here L

Then we started the check-up. We did 3 out of 5 sections of 4^th years, each about 40 students each... (So we actually got almost 120 kids earlier. Woah.) I did the blood pressure taking while Doc did the questioning, the auscultation and everything... Even if I just did one thing it really was a pain... I didn’t remove the stethoscope from my ears for about 2 dozen straight. And take note, my ears were hurting again because of the little wounds I got from cleaning them too often. L Oh it was a nightmare! Good thing I managed to know how to get blood pressure by just the pulse. J It sure saved me a hell lot of time and energy! Hahaha!

After the medical mission stint I saw the CAT officers (it's Citizenship Advancement Training, senior students who were like junior military leaders of the school) giving the COCC (Cadet Officers Candidate Course, or the CAT trainees) some briefing. Since I was a CAT officer myself, the officers saluted to me and greeted me (what can I do? I’m a sempai. And an officer sempai at that... I was a Captain) I also joined them as they taught the trainees some basic stuff. It’s actually heart-warming to see your kouhais picking up on what you left behind~ and now they are even better than we were in drills, marching, even holding the wooden practice rifles. (I never got to hold one myself, my rank was lower than required) I’m even happier that most of the new trainees are my close kouhais... especially the otouto of one of my closest friends... I’m sure he’ll be a good officer if ever, ‘cause he really got potential, from what I’ve seen. J That batch is full of nice people actually~ so I expect those officers to be really good and toughened up when they graduate from trainee to officer. J

Being an alumna of the school, it makes me remember those times when I myself breezed thru those halls, never even realizing that I would get this far at college~ I hope and pray that sometime in the future, I will return to that school from my Monbusho scholarship term in Japan and be proud that I came from MunSci. J Well, let’s all hope for the best! J

Hey! Say! JUMP: Wedding Costumes much?

This is my first time posting pictures... so, well, anyway here I go....

I like Hey! Say! JUMP because they are really very good singer-dancer-actors, and they have ABSOLUTELY ANGELIC FACES!!! When I saw these pics from my Tumblr account, I was like

"O. M. G. I gotta run to the nearest dress shop and find myself a white dress pronto."

Well, who couldn't say "I Do" to these guys? I'm really sure their brides will be the luckiest girls in the world (and hopefully, I'm one of them LOL)

Well... let's start with Hey! Say! BEST.

#1. Yabu Kouta
   ~Well, he's handing the bouquet now, right? Well, I would gladly grab it from him. and those eyes! He's DARING me to marry him. :P

#2. Inoo Kei

   ~Eyes that plead for him to be married. (and that rose totally suits the aura of falling in love) My prince Kei-sama never fails to amaze me... *eyes full of adoration*

 #3. Yaotome Hikaru

   ~he's like "Come, let's get married" Hikka really looks like a gentleman here, doesn't he? heehee soo handome~ 

#4. Takaki Yuya

  ~Yuya's pose isn't really too convincing, demo his tux really looks good on him~  yeah? He reminds me of Akanishi Jin. :P

#5. Arioka Daiki

  ~His cheeky smile is always so handsome... and he really looks so cute any girl would like to marry him right there and then hahahaha!!! sooo irresistible... 

And for Hey! Say! 7:

 #6. Okamoto Keito

  ~This is, after Inoo-sama's pic, my favorite of this series. Really shows his English gentleman side... (why is that so? He's just my sanban but now he really makes my heart flutter) :uwaa:  my angel...

#7. Yamada Ryousuke

   ~He looks so pretty here. Not handsome. PRETTY. That smile is just making me feel like I'm such a lucky wife. hahahah! I wanna kiss him. :P 

#8. Chinen Yuuri

  ~Isn't it too redundant to say that Chii LOOKS. EFFIN. GOOD. IN. EACH. OF. HIS. EFFIN. PICTURES? uwaaaa.... 

 #9. Morimoto Ryutarou

   ~I've always had a little regard for Tarou, but now I might have to change my mind. *I'm sorry dear, if I took so long, I made you wait... :D*

Last but DEFINITELY not the least...

#10. Nakajima Yuto

   ~Just like Hikka, he's inviting me to take his hand and for him to lead me to the altar. He really looks so convincing... Of all the poses in this series his pose is the most convincing for me. Aaaaahhhh I can't choose~ 

So, minna, have you chosen your grooms yet?  Don't forget to invite me, ne? <3 <3 <3

My First Post!

Yay~ hahaha this is my first post....

I don't know what to say, really~ So... maybe I'll just rant.

Just so my foreign readers can relate with me, pre-university education in the Philippines basically have 13 years. That is:
~Pre-school (Thank goodness it's already official.) for at least 3 years.
  As far as I know kids who had preschool education have far better academic performance than those who just went to Grade 1 in elementary school. It's a must now~ :) Yay!

~Elementary School for 6 years
  That's the minimum for public schools, whose class ratio can fly up to 90 kids per teacher! (woah~) Some private schools (like De La Salle Schools) have a "Grade 7". Maybe that's a prep course for high school, ne? Well anyway I myself had 6 years of grade school. :)

~High School for 4 years
  Yes, no middle school. For four years you get to study things in preparation of college life. :)) I studied in a public science high school, where I really got excellent teachers yet super difficult subjects in comparison to those taught at public ordinary high schools. Well, it gave me a HUGE advantage though.


And then.... COLLEGE.
Students have a choice to go to National Universities, Private Universities, some schools comparable to Junior Colleges, Vocational Schools (with that I mean TESDA courses), or go find work. (Though some little jobs I've seen require at least 2 years college level.) I went to St. Augustine School of Nursing (it's some sort of junior college) to study Practical Nursing. It's just 2 years, but at least I get to take a licensure exam too~ hahaha!

Our school year usually starts around the 2nd week of June until the third week of March, and classes from Mondays to Fridays only.


So... I'm actually going to be a sophomore this year... and I'm excited because I'm gonna have HOSPITAL DUTY!!!! yahoo~ But I really have to do my all (not my best. My ALL.) this year, so I'll have the best grades... Because I'm dreaming to apply in the Monbukagakusho Scholarship in Japan as an Undergraduate majoring in Medicine (hopes way up~ hehehe) or Health Sciences. I guess I have to have you guys pray for me~ :)))

So... that ends my first post! I hope I'll have more readers in the future~ :))

Jaa ne!
