Goin' Japanese

The reason I'm posting this is that I have been craving for Japanese food for months.

Prawn Tempura, California Maki and I forgot what the other one was called. It was the first time that I ordered it that's why I wasn't able to recall the name. The Prawn Tempura and the California Maki are my favorites. You can try those in a Japanese restaurant called Teriyaki Boy. :)

This was also taken from Teriyaki Boy, one of my favorites. It's called Salmon Sashimi. That's the first thing I look for whenever I enter any Japanese Resto.

If you want a cheaper Salmon Sashimi, you can buy one at ChickBoy. It's a Chicken and Pork restaurant that has this Japanese Special Menu. :)

I also tried the food in Domo Domo in Tomas Morato. The food was great! It's a bit pricey though but it was so tastey and good! :)

Itadakimasu! :)

Halloween Fever

Halloween.

Trick or Treat?

Who wants candy?

Haha. I never really tried that "trick or treat" thing even as a kid. I never experienced dressing up as a monster or as a ghost but I think that may be fun. I realized  I could never escape the Halloween fever. :D

Ok. I probably suck at parties like that because I drink coffee too much. You know what I mean. Aside from that, no matter how hard I try to ignore the Halloween season, it always gives me the chills. Halloween specials on TV, Halloween costumes on the street, Halloween topics on the internet, Halloween everywhere! I just can't escape the season. :D

While watching TV, I hate the feeling when I saw a trailer of a scary movie, then I don't want to watch it but I just couldn't take my eyes off it. Uhrgh! Then, that scary ghost or whatever appears (with a scary loud sound effect), *GULAT* haha! Then I remember that ugly, scary face until I reach my bed.

I remember as a kid, I used to watch "Verum Est" (if I remember right) that was hosted by Raymond Bagatsing. It was so scary that I could not sleep at night so eventually I stopped watching it though it was one of my favorite shows.

I saw a news article that Halloween parties are banned in Catholic schools. I don't have any comment on that  since I do not know all the rules of the Catholic Church regarding that. Maybe they don't want to see devils and other scary and demonic costumes lurking around their schools. I studied in Catholic Schools from Elementary to High School, they don't really stress Halloween parties and I have not seen any class during my time who celebrated this event. In college, they were not really that strict.

I have not yet decided where to go during All Souls Day. I might not visit in Loyola because I don't want to see my "other" relatives there. I don't want any more "chismis" to come up. Well, that's too bad if you have relatives like that. I might visit my grandparents after Undas.

Well, so much for that. Till next blog!

Happy Halloween!

Sad. :(

Ayun, ang lungkot lang.

Na-reboot ang cellphone ko.

Nawala lahat ng files.

As in lahat.

Maliban na lang sa mga naka-save sa SD card ko.

Ngayon hindi ko na magamit.

Naka-stuck na lang sya lagi sa "Android" screen tapos hanggang dun na lang sya.

Hindi na sya napupunta sa home screen,.

Tapos hindi ma-off.

Kailangan pa tanggalin ang battery para ma-off.

Kainis.

Ginawa ko na ang lahat para maayos pero hindi effective.

Kailangan ko na siguro ipaayos to sa nag-aayos talaga.

Nakaka-sad.

Parang nawalan ako ng communication sa mundo.

Hindi naman ako masyadong gumagamit ng laptop kasi pang-blog ko lang talaga to.

Wala na akong Instagram na araw araw inuupdate.

Yung clan ko, hindi ko muna mababantayan.

Tapos, ang dami kong pdf books na gustong basahin dun hindi ko na mabasa kasi hindi ko nga mabuksan ang cp ko.

Nakakainis.

Dun din ako lagi nag-tu-twitter.

Dun din reminder ko na lagi uminom ng tubig.

Nakakainis.

Napaka-pakialamera ko kasi.

Ang dami kong kinakalikot sa cp ko, ayan sumuko tuloy sya.

Sana maayos pa to.

1 year pa lang to sakin.

Siguro, may dahilan to.

Binalaan siguro ako na, wag masyadong magconcentrate sa cp.

Haaay. Ewan.

Ang lungkot ko talaga ngayon.

Hindi ko alam kung saan ko ipapaayos to.

Nakakabadtrip lang. :(

Sakit (Poem)

Bakit ang sakit?

Maalala ang iyong yakap na mahigpit

Malayo ka man o malapit

Di ako ang iyong gustong makamit

Isang panaginip lang

Pag gising ko'y binabanggit ay "Sayang"

Ika'y sa akin nag-aabang

Masaya tayo at para bang wala ng kulang

Wala na akong magawa

Kundi ang mag-emote sa mga kanta

Lagi na lang tulala

Ang pagiging ganito ba ay masama?

Mga ilang buwan na din

Hindi pa maalis sa akin

Mga masasayang ala-ala natin

May balak pa ba ngayong ayusin?

Mapapawi din itong sakit

Mawawala lahat ng tanong na "Bakit?"

Wag ka sana sa akin lumapit

At baka ako pa ay manakit

Sa pagkatao mong napakapait

wala na akong maisip na i-rhyme.

one shot. on the spot.

sana magustuhan nyo. :)

Blogging World/Pagsusulat

Hindi ko man napapansin pero ang sarap pala magsulat kada matatapos maligo. Haha!

Kasi fresh na fresh ang utak ko sa mga bagay bagay na nanyari sa buong araw o sa mga bagay bagay na bigla ko lang naiisip.

Sige na enough of that "bagay bagay" dahil nahahalata na akong walang ibang maisip na salita. LOL!

Napagpasyahan kong pagtuunan din ng pansin ang pagsusulat ko dito sa blog at sa mga forums lalo na sa TCaf.

Malaki utang na loob ko sa Tcaf. Hindi sana magtampo ang blogger pero dahil sa TCaf, mas ginusto kong magsulat at magsulat pa. Bumalik na yung kaadikan ko sa pagba-blog. I posted an entry sa site na yun and within 2 hours lang meron ng 200+ views and 30+ comments. Tapos sa ngayon meron na syang 277 views and 62 comments. First time nanyari yun sa buhay ko. Maraming good feedbacks, maraming reactions, mapa-negative man o positive, I deeply appreciate it. It only means na may sense ang mga sinusulat ko, dito kasi sa blogger, parang nilalangaw ang mga blogs ko. Nahihirapan akong maghanap ng mga readers. I don't know kung nakatulong pa nga  ba yung ginawa kong facebook page para lang maipamahagi ko sa mga friends ko and other people ang mga sinusulat ko.

I'm not a fame whore. Yes, I ask people from facebook and twitter to like my page and read my blogs, pero the only reason behind that is I want to know what other people think about my entries.

Siguro medyo kulang pa ako sa self-esteem pagdating sa pagsusulat kaya kailangan ko ng mga readers. :))

I want to improve.

Ayun, ang dami ko na palang sinabi.

Kasalukuyang umuulan ngayon.

Patak ng ulan

Aking nararamdaman

Sana'y ligaya'y makamtan

Magpakailan pa man

Ulan ba ang simbolo ng luha?

O sakit ng iyong pagkawala

Ako'y napaiyak ng di sinasadya

Sa aking nagawang tula

Mapapawi pa ba ito?

Sagutin mo ang tanong ko

Dahil magmumula sayo

Kung "Hindi" ba o "Oo"

Akin ng tatapusin

Ang tulang binulong sa hangin

Luha ko'y akin na lang papawiin

Ng mawala na ang sakit ng damdamin

-------------------

Napagawa ng tula wala sa oras. One shot lang yan, walang edit edit. Sana nagustuhan nyo. :)

Magandang Gabi.
