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..

Prismatic World Tour Manila!!

ahh yesss!touchdown Philippine Arena! And it was just a 45-minute shuttle ride from Trinoma.The area was certainly huge as it was filled with several booths of Katy Perry merchandise (which I will discuss later) and food stalls.

RN life so far..(and company outing)

It has been a month since I've started working in the hospital and so far, I still couldn't say whether I liked it or not.Maternal Care isn't really my forte during my nursing studies before but between that and the medicine ward,I guess I prefer to stay at the Ob-Gyne for a moment. I started as a dope here since I have very little knowledge in maternal care whether it's CS or NSD or even a Gyne case.Yet as I've had numerous duty days previously,I came to learn more about it. This adjustment mode is gonna take a pretty long time to endure Sometimes I ask myself, "what other positive interventions should I do?" Yet,many people say that it's always hard the beginning but once you get the hang of it, everything will drive in smoothly. And I just hope it happens to me someday~


The whole Ob-Gyne staff :)

Anyhow,I had my first ever company outing at Coolwaves Waterpark Ranch at Bulakan, Bulacan last April 16th. I never thought that it was that near! Haha.Like it only took us an hour and half from Ortigas to the venue.
Me,Ma'm Raissa, MJ, Gladys, Cecil and Ma'm Weng at the back part of the bus.

Here's a polaroid shot with Ma'm Dom :)
We reserved 2 cottages there and for a whole day tour,we grilled,swam and played parlor games.Seriously,is that what they really do in company outings?Like one of the parlor games was a banana eating contest---but this one's different. The banana's covered with chocolate powder and you have to eat it first before you eat the whole banana (and you can't use your hands to eat it,btw)! So us, Junior staff were the contestants and apparently, I came in second!hahaha :)) We have a picture of it on Facebook.

The Ob-Gyne Junior Staff! Ma'm Aira,MJ, Ma'm Dom,yours truly,Ma'm Joyce and Gladys

and to narrate it less,here's a video of our whole outing made by one of our Seniors, Ma'm Jen :)
This is pretty much,my second all-girl family next to my college sisters.But this time,I'm the youngest here.I have so much to learn on this love-hate relationship I have with work itself. Once again,I apologize for having this as a very late entry that it didn't make it as an entry for April. I had a straight 16-hr duty last week from 2pm-6am and it was...stressed (because I wasn't ready!) -__-
Anyway,we'll see what happens next.

'til then!
