Japan puts its one foot up and helloed Philippines!

Ohayou gozaimasu!! This. made. my. day. Yay!!! I was supposed to go to Japan for summer(if not for my Biochem bad hat class)because my homie Wen Wen is a resident and what better deal can one get other than free lodging with a fam to stay with(read: free everything muthafre$#@!*kkers)! Okay, bitter ain't cute, put those eyebrows down. Wen is my sister okay. We're two peas in a pod. What's mine is hers and subsequently, hers is mine..and Wen is 10x a millionaire, so yayyyy that makes me a frekkin' #$%^**, yea, ok..enough.

We grew up together, had same crushes, I do grab better though so, sorry for Wen, Ha! Oh, but sometimes I could also be a nice person so I shared her my chopped livers eew, seeeriously joking. I made her my HR department back in my tweensie-doodle days. So yea. She screened boys after boys..and more boyssss, tralalallala, what? I used to be really cute....not, haha. But she usually ends up liking all these dudes cuz she's a lil softie. Unlike her counterpart me. I'm a lil hardcore as you can tell. 

This post is all Japan-related so I'll yak about Japanese people as much as I want to. You know what's good about Japan?? Fooooooood, of course!! (Aside from Japanese fashion sense of course, we already know they are waaaaaay muchhh advanced in that aspect but we're getting there, folks!)

in case you're in for pedis..

Soo Kawaiiii Lil Girl Scouts Campin'

Anyway, Wen married a really rich Japanese guy Keeno*tongue in cheek*(who taught her to do that, duhhh, I mean who the h--- is her guru hellooooo?????)! I taught her a lot of Abracadabra boys-related stuff and obviously she succeed. Pffffffffffft. Too easy. That is why in turn, she also teaches me all awesome Japan-related stuff from rolling a sushi,crazy Japanese fish cutting, how to make a decent Miso,beef Udon,Donburi name it..Maki to Melon pan, a really good authentic Anpan, *ahems* I'm quit witted so everything is piece of cake ya know. Yes, that includes the knits, crochet, and peeenis origamis!! Woohooo!! Perfect tokens for Summer Circumcision Operations to lure lil soulja boys into getting it. Say hello to my Beanie!!!  
              

But I'm two and a half lazy and one part brat, so whenever I want one toasty piece of bread, nope we don't run to the groceries or bakeries at all, Wen would always luv to make me, awww now I'm starting to miss Wen and her freshly baked, from the scratch Japonis vreddddds and Japanis Korroke paired with Sake and I'm solb. Que Yummers. Need to See Wen. Soon. Now all I need are off daysssss when when when do I see Wen??? Better be soon, cuz Ramen is calling my name. 

Aren't ya guys juz essaiiiiiited to see Japan now we do not need Visa and all that jazz? Do you even realize how it used to be so hard securin' yourself a Japan Visa? Oh well, another used to be. Uh oh you still need a visa btw juz in case you wish to lingerrrrrr for weeks on end of fabulous saunas, baths and jacuzzis, especially when you're dead on your feet going back and fourth to Jipang Road juz like me! Dude, multiple visas of three years is bubble bath worthy if you ask me. Also, you do realize you are now one step closer to seeing Murakami! -_- 

ハレルヤ

Hareruya!!!

To quote Haberler: 

Japan lifts visa requirements for number of ASEAN countries including Thailand and Malaysia to help spur the nation's tourism industry and to develop the relationship Southeast Asian countries.

Japan lifts visa requirements for number of ASEAN countries including Thailand and Malaysia to help spur the nation's tourism industry and to develop the relationship Southeast Asian countries. According to Foreign Ministry's pronouncement, visa exemption will be effective for Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Viet Nam after July, 1. Ministry underlined the decision is adopted to celebrate "40th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation." Visa exemption is valid for short time visit no longer than 15 days. Japan cautioned those travelers who want to stay longer must still need a visa. The territorial dispute between Tokyo and Beijing lowered the Chinese travelers. Japan's move to nationalize disputed islands at the East China Sea drew a harsh critic from Chinese's officials and triggered a boycott from Chinese's consumers and tourists. With no end in sight to the dispute, the Japanese government turned its eye to lucrative Southeast Asian market. Tokyo wants to attract 1 million Southeast Asian tourists this year, and 2 million in 2016. The number was 780,000 last year. On the political side, the Japanese governments want to have a closer relationship with ASEAN countries. Nationalist leader Shinzo Abe who visited Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia after becoming prime minister is expected to tour Malaysia and the Philippines. During his visit, Japanese Prime Minister will try to develop relations with Southeast Asian countries to obstruct Beijing's regional ambition, reports say. Malaysia and the Philippines have a territorial dispute with Beijing likewise Japan. Japanese PM Abe is due to host a special meeting of ASEAN leaders in Tokyo in December.

SEE YOU SOON WEN!!

Juju spells. The good kind. The bad kind. My Dear Dear Bitch, Please don't kill my vibe..

I was down with tummy ills lately, which is not somethin' new since I've gotten digestion issues from time immemorial. I kinda feel laame taking Zantac so I pop Prevacid for breakfast, Tums for lunch and tea. Ulcer's the worst, I could almost swear someone's doin' juju on me whenever it strikes. Also, I tend to ruminate looong and deeply all things death-related whenever my ulcer is kickin' in, dunno why but by default this just happens.

Consequently, it is but obvious that I was able to craft my otherwise calm and well-planned funeral far in advance. For me, as my ashes feed the roses or if otherwise I turn into a nice mango tree, I want something a lot creative as I bid the Earth farewell. Whuut?? This is what I tell students whenever we're down to Nitrogen cycle where I'm posing to be green and all eco-chic, I'm such a poser I know I know! What did I tell you about the decay process and piss ass denitrifying bacteria and goin' all back to atmosphere all chic and fab Pre-dentistry kids on my Biochem and Biology class? What've all my Engineering and Business Ad students learned on our Environmental Science and Earth Science class?! 

Yo, mama we 'al gonna die but to be something boringly morose is never what we wanna when we strut the grand final exit ya know what I'm sayin'? For starters, I want something like those to die for lil deli airline salamiches or maybe some very dainty greek burgeritos on my third course. No, noooo and no. No dinuguan on the menu. Period. 

Moving on to my playlist, something tells me you shouldn't say the word dead in a funeral song. It's jz way too obvious. So here's the rundown of my death la morte go-to list: First of, because I'm such a disco baller, hustling away with: "Do the Hustle" is my absolute first choice,

Also the likes of 'em such as: "Rock Your Baby'' by George McCrae,

'' Rock The Boat'' by The Hues Corporation,

Also,"Keep on Jumpin" by Musique,

There's also ''Ask Me'' by Ecstasy Passion and Pain,

"Bat out of Hell" by Meatloaf, very appropriate.

There's also "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" by Vaughan Mason,

"Free Man" by South Shore Commission,

Pockets' "Come Go With Me",

"Boogie Wonderland" is some kind of awesome too, I really am not trying to make people cry so there you go call me weird, but I'll be shakin' my groove 'til my last breath. Dance moves are optional. No votive candles, please. Here's your complimentary glowstick. Ikr, I'm juz way too enthusiastic about soundtrackin' my own funeral.

Also, I really want to romanticize things so jotted down on my will to leave two thirds of my ashes either as a beautiful artisanal glass sculpture hand crafted by a very skilled artist of course which sorta looks like this:

As oppose to this, How daaare you?!!Oh please,don't you dare!!Don't like my traces on a paper weight I'd rather be a twig if that's the case.

I Could be kept inside a really kawaii locket. I really like the idea of having a secret chamber which my lovey dovey can open incase he misses me, and find a lock of my hair with traces of Tresemme, maybe some dried flower petals oooooooor if he may be so bold perhaps use one third of my pixie dusts on tattoo ink and get himself an awesome tat of me inked all over him, AHA! I'm selfish, what mine is mine, whatever. Go awayyy.

In other less depressing news, killin' the bad juju vibe, how 'bout recounting our blessings for a change? Ok, so question of the day is, "Are you happy of what you have got careerwise?", pretty intense huh, ok lemme get that for you, as for me, I do enjoy the lowlights just as much as the highlights. Speaking of which I just signed an appointment letter of promotion as the new Director of Education signed by the VP and of course the President of National *Awesomeness* University. Hmm, and you'd think Mercury was in retrograde following the supermoon and tralala. Keeck azz!

Nina G in Manila!

Project Runway judge and Marie Claire creative director Nina Garcia, and of course my idol visits Manila.

Nina G. got to beso with some of Manila's fashion people, with Robby Carmona and Rissa Trillo. JAG Jeans flew the goddess here!

Pwoooorggghhh...Lil Kimmycakes came out at the same time Kanye's album is getting out also? Woahh what a coincidence?! That's hella publicity. Welcome to the world, Kaidence Donda West! Now smile for the paparazzi lil Kimmilita!

Kimmycakes has said she's due in July but following the heels of news she birthed 5 weeks earlier than expected prolly didn't want to compete with the spotlight as Kitch and Kate Middleton were both due on the same day, um juz a hunch I could be wrong. As far as the Kim wanting to eat her placenta madness. You guys are missin' the weirdness! She's not interested on a snap shot of the baby's ultrasound and said she's there instead cuz she's so keen to ask her doc 'bout the aesthetic effects of the placenta, there you have it for the too posh to push skeptics out there, gooo figure!!

My guess is the babe prolly got sick as to being stuck inside Kim's snootie utie in the midst of bein' associated with all that dreadful fashion faux pas! "GEMME OUTTA HERE KITCHHH!!!"

Now can we move on??

Helloooo!! It's freedom day!!!

Whoop tee dooo, it's june baby!! You could tell by the driving rainnn and the boots 'am wearing. Oh well, it's freedom day!!! Nothing much, really. I just wanted to jump and be happyyyyyyyyy cuz hey it's good to be free ya know!!!! So be happy people cuz it's nice to be alive and out there!!! Be awesome. Stand out!!! Freedom baby!!!!!!

Crajes themed

Spanglish painters Carla Rendon and Jessica Ruiz, also known as Crajes had a show in Manila.
Young, fresh artists are awesome. Check 'em out. I get goosebumps just looking at their art. But I'm obviously inspired. Like playing with hues till they're almost melancholic. Did I make you sad?

K to 12 Public Hearing of CHED and huge hugs for that Charming Potato Mariz Diokno for keeping me A-W-A-K-E!

I for one feels like I'm about to run a marathon. Ccchhhange is a good thing though. It means we are evolving. Kinda blur this photo. Taken with Professor Diego's mobile, saaay Laway na P-A-N-I-S-! =)
