Let me just say, that my year was filled with a lot of plot twists. I have revisited some Asian countries and had situations that I never thought would happen.Though I became idle for the second half, I didn't find it regretful as I was able to spend more time with my family and friends before leaping to the next step of my career.We all deserve to take a break once in a while; in fact, my lax months kept me busy besides gym and travelling. ;) So here are my top 10 moments that I’d loved to repeat all over again.

Christmas Wishlist 2015

"Memories" by Lang Leav

-Available in all bookstores!I've read "Lullabies" and "Love and Misadventures" through Ebook already and it was awesome."I Love Him" is my most favorite so far ;) Yet this time,I really wish to have a hardbound copy of her book.please?Haha.

Korean Adult Coloring books

-Available in all bookstores or at the Stockroom at UPTC. Much appreciated if you'd include a set of color pencils as well!! :D

"25" by Adele

-i want the ORIGINAL version please!This just got released and I'm sure it's already in all music stores (preferrably at AstroVision or Odyssey).I'm no Adele fan before but "Hello" got me hooked on her.❤️ The song was even a perfect timing for my current situation lately.Sigh,anyway.

DIY projects from Typo
-"Typo" is located at the ground floor of Trinoma Mall in front of Gift Gate.I prefer a DIY tote bag or the cross-stitch set :D You may visit their instagram site: https://www.instagram.com/typoshop/ for more info.

Rastaclat
-Available at Sole Academy at Katipunan (near KFC) or in Titan at UPTC.I'm a collector of these bracelets and much preferred if I could have either of the ff:


once again, PLEASE BUY THE ORIGINAL.if any of it is not in stock,just don't buy the forest camo,the turquoise and the blue-violet style.I already have them.

So there goes my list so far.I don't think I'll be adding more soon like a watch (G-shock and not digital),camouflage socks or a Pandora charm (but yes,that's very pricey.lol).But PLEASE,lets not go with the fabrics or purses/wallets this time.I have too much of it

The "V" tour with Maroon 5

This just arrived so unexpected---that I get to watch Maroon 5 in concert (which i bought the tickets on the last day of August!Haha!) Even if we got our seats slightly elevated,i had fun.It was certainly worth the watch.Thanks to that lucky online seller.Haha :)


The concert was held at SM Mall of Asia Arena last Sept.17,2015. I think it was their third time around to be here and it was awesome. It was also my first time to watch them and pretty much,my first to be in a legit sold-out concert! :0 So I was like,"wow!I never thought a full-house concert would be like this!".Fans got so wild during the whole concert as the band sang most of their hits from their album,"Songs About Jane" until "V". I wasn't able to take a lot of pics but I get to record several clips of their performances..


Here's "Animals" as their opening act.


While here's "Sugar" as their final act. Check out my Youtube page for more Maroon 5 clips!




So basically,this is my view on how far my seat was from the stage.Haha!But it was still worth it since the arena was very elevated.No need for binoculars,I should say.

I hope they'll be back again soon!!

Japan Tales: Fukuoka (part 2)

June 2: Temple Run at Dazaifu + Drink night with the cousinsThis was our only day tour for the whole trip: to go to the temple of Dazaifu.

Japan Tales : Fukuoka (part 1)

This post has been very delayed for I've been soo busy over the past few weeks! Having a 16hr-duty once a week or a 4-days work was such a burden.But anyhow, this is gonna be a 3-part entry as I had my very first touchdown in Japan 2 months ago! :)

June 1:Hello Fukuoka!
Me and my mom had a 4-day vacay at Fukuoka where one of my relatives live. We stayed at Grand Hyatt hotel which is beside Canal City, one of the popular malls in town.The view from the hotel was quite lovely as the mall's buildings are very colorful. I bet you can't tour the whole mall for just one day! We just skimmed through the shops for now and took pictures (the tourist way! Hahaha).

welcome drinks from ze hotel! Haha isn't it so complete? ;D




There's actually a couple of photobooth stalls at the mall wherein it works like the Camera360 app. They call it "porikula" and it costs ¥400 per shot. How I wish we have this in Manila! This is so much fun to do with friends ;D The picture can also be sent on your e-mail via their website.

So we tried this particular booth since this is endorsed by my cousin,Elaiza Ikeda (the girl with the yellow bow) Then ta-dah!here's what we've got:


Then by night, we took a walk around Tenjin Central Park and had ramen for dinner-–yes,authentic ramen!! The service reminded me of Ramen Nagi; but of course,this one's a lot better! From eating in a ramen bar to having free servings of soup,it was all worth it costing ¥750.


I like how savvy it was to order through an automated machine.While,this is how the bar looked like..




the lovely night lights in Fukuoka.❤️
Then after that, we went to Don Quixote to buy make-ups and Japanese delicacies. This is where I started to appreciate the green tea kitkat. It was so delicious that I have to buy more than 4packs for home! :)) While for the cosmetics, i bought a lipstick from Chifure and a blush on. I also bought a pack of nail stickers which I'll be using on my next trip soon. ;)
to be continued..

the traditional WISHLIST.

This entry is specifically for my relatives and friends---and for those who'd like to give me a gift this christmas ;p Though as much as possible,please...NO STUFFED TOYS. I have too much of it in my room already.Hence,here's a list of some gift choices for yours truly.Mind you,these items exceed from P1K-1.5K below.And these items excludes clothes and gadgets because they are very pricey and hard to choose when it comes to the clothes.

Any Rillakuma item from HAPPYLAND.From pouches,bags,notebooks but NOT the stuffed toy.The store is located at SM North EDSA,2nd floor beside Book Sale.
instax mini 25 polaroid film. Here's a sample from the fujifilm site: film samples. Either the comic,shiny star or pink dot design is much preferred.But if there are other choices,I'd like a Rilakkuma,Little Twin Star or a Hello Kitty film set instead.Haha :DDD
make-up bags from FOREVER 21.Check out the designs HERE.Any of the designs would do and I assure most of them are available in all branches here in Manila.
"HELLLP Ayoko na Sa Syota Ko" by Ramon Bautista. 

The Hunger Games trilogy set by Suzanne Collins.
a good JAPANESE language book.Yes,I'd like to learn how to speak in Japanese seriously now. :))
I hope it will be followed just like last years' (which i posted 3 days before Christmas.HAHA!) :)) 

'til then!
