art exhibit

my "tezuka-senpai" invited me to the 2012 Philippine-Korean Visual Arts Exchange Exhibit yesterday. (^_^)

i was very thankful and i really appreciate her invite.

the exhibit was small but the paintings themselves were definitely worth it.

some of the artists were also there.

i also so Mr. Boboy Garuvillo, a famous singer performer from the group Apo Hiking Society.

oh, by the way, the souvenir for the event were postcards of the painting at the exhibit. (^_^)

it has been a long time since i last attended an art exhibit.

i was really excited and very very happy. (^_^)

i hope i get to attend more exhibits in the future. (^_^)

dinner with friends

went out for dinner with some of the members of my "seigaku."

we ate at mom and tina's bakeshop and cafe along katipunan road.

it was my first time to eat there.

the price of the food was rather expensive,

but i was fairly satisfied with the chicken spinach lasagna and green tea with honey and milk.

what was greatly satisfying was one of their cakes which kaido-senpai ordered. (^_^)

we had a great chat with each other and it felt great to see each other once more.

we have plans on going on an outing this coming summer.

i sure hope the plans would push through!

thank you guys,

till next time. (^_^)

swimming party

last night was the christmas party of our "seigaku group" (^_^)

our event  organizer (aka momo-senpai)  decided that we go for night swimming for our christmas party.

though it was a very cold and slightly rainy night,

we managed to enjoy the occasion. (^_^)

we had the annual kris kringle and we had lots of food!

as for the swimming,

they only went for a swim once though as they were already tired.

as for me, i went twice. (^_^)

i attempted to go for the third time but it was already too cold and there were too many drunk men around the pool around that time.

i just went back to our cottage and had a talk with aion (boyfriend of momo-senpai) till 5am.

we shared the food that was left between the 6 of us (tezuka, momo, taka-san, eiji, aion and me) and left the place around 6am.

i really enjoyed it! (^_^)

unfortunately, two of our "members" were not able to attend.

my dear fuji-senpai who is now living in new jersey, america,

and oishi who was busy with work matters.

sorry no pictures again. m(_ _)m

long time no see

this afternoon,

i went out with tezuka (moon) and kaido (amantha),

we were supposed to watch a spanish movie.

unfortunately, because i was not able to get the right information (it was not in the venue we went to, it was in a mall)

we ended up going to katipunan.

we shared stories about each other's lives while eating out. (^_^)

despite the sudden change in plans,

i'm still very glad i spent a great time with them. (^_^)

next on the agenda?

the annual christmas party (^_^)

brand new day

been listening to this song recently because i felt relieved and at ease when i listen to it.

add to that, i like the ova used in this fan-made video. (^_^)

enjoy~

night out at banapple

i went out with some members of "seigaku" last night.

thanks for the great time guys!

i really had fun!

till next time!

a proud tenimyu fan

first of all, i would like to thank my friend maya_hayashi from the czech republic. (~_~)

because of your comment in my june 3 entry, i was able to pull myself together.

i have forgotten how to "face my singles match."

after reading your comment, i felt like echizen, i remembered it all...

the lyrics (translated) from different songs from TENIMYU.

"stand and recieve no matter what match you face."

"keep on fighting, it is the proof of staying alive."

"RUN! we're going to run (to) our brand new start."

"RUN! we're ready, with our refreshed hearts and minds."

"we weave a tapestry with our guts and fighting spirit."

"RUN! having a good time, the steps become light as a feather."

"never back down. lean forward."

"the reason we are running is to find our goal."

"we are running forever!"

"i make my decision. the future is here within my reach."

"go forward, tear down any walls that come your way."

"do your best, echizen! win or lose, a returning ball covered in sweat. watch my great return which i put my all into."

"do your best!"

"FGKS! FIGHT ON, GET ON, KEEP ON, STEP UP!"

and many more.

when i was about to breakdown on my last year in college, these songs inspired me to continue.

when i started working and had troubles and i was about to give up, these songs cheered me on till my last day at work.

and now that i feel scared that i will be facing a new "match", the college of medicine, these songs has once again challenged me to move forward and fight with all i have to give.

at the end of it all i would like to shout:

GAME SET! WON BY BEATRIZ!

i would say, that i am happy and proud that i am a tenimyu fan!

dinner with friends

good evening everyone!

just came back from a dinner with some members of seigaku (plus marion the pet xp).

when we were looking for a place to eat,

we saw by chance fuji-senpai!

she was with another friend of hers (who she also saw by chance ;p)

that is why she was not able to join us for dinner.

anyways, the restaurant we ate at had an american theme.

there was also this jukebox look-a-like. (~_~)

as i was looking at the menu for drinks,

i saw vodka cruser!

i just had to order one!

eiji-senpai also had one because of me and she liked it! (~_~)

on my way home,

i passed by a convenience store and bought another bottle of vodka cruser.

love it!

oh! i almost forgot,

when i arrived home,

i asked rei to take a picture of me because i really love my outfit. (~_~)
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
COUNTDOWN: 17 DAYS!

simple get together

just got home from a small get together with some members of seigaku. (^_^)

had shawarma, drank less than a bottle of beer while watching a horror movie.

talks and smiles.

(^_^)

i decided to keep the entry short and as much as possible retain the purity of the get together.

oyasumi.

:3

bread + momo-senpai and "pet"

out of whim, i baked bread today. (^_^)

i invited momo-senpai because she said she has not tasted the bread that i baked.

her "pet"/koibito marion was with her. (^_^)

they said they liked the bread. (~_~)

i told momo-senpai to bring home some bread for her mother.

anyways, we had dinner and lots of talk about the "seigaku" group.

this was no ordinary talk though for involved a lot of personal experiences.

(^_^)

yukata trio

i nice way spend the first day of the year,

1/1/11

wear a yukata with fuji-senpai and kin-chan,

eat dinner where there are different kinds of cheese served at the table

and watch tenimyu! (^_^)

around the same time last year, we were together partying. (^_^)

we love each other so much. (^_^)

happy happy times! (^_^)
------
one of the reasons fuji-senpai came today was actually Fanta. (○^_^○)

we gave her two cans so she can also brag it to a friend or two of hers. (^_^)

painful

yesterday,

it started out as a happy, singing, guitar playing, dancing, gift giving christmas party for the seigaku.

but it all ended in tears.

it is just too painful for me to talk about it.

for my fuji-senpai, i am very sorry for everything that happened.

i know it hurts especially that fact that this might (but i hope not) be your last christmas here in the philippines and this happens.

your concern for them, your preparations, i fully understand.

they made their mistakes and i knew very well, being with them almost everyday for four years, that they have a tendency to be like that.

they are very much easily persuaded by anybody and they really change their plans on the very last minute.

i am not defending them, it's just that i had been used to it.

i know that you are the type who likes things organized and planned,

you had a sense of discipline in you,

which is why i understood your disappointment about the accommodations and preparations last night since they said that only a few of them will stay but at the very last minute,

more of them were planning to stay.

it's hard to say this, but rei is right, our "seigaku" is not a "seigaku", i doubt that it even was "seigaku" from the very beginning.

to the rest of seigaku, it is very hard for me to be unbiased about it because i am very close with fuji-senpai.

i'm very sorry.

i know your point that we are already old enough to take care of ourselves.

we are responsible for our own decisions.

you guys want to be together during the overnight thing, i understand that.

our host really wanted you all to stay but there are really limitations.

i know that i already sound biased, but please understand that you already told fuji-senpai that you will be staying overnight.

i myself was surprised when i found out that there were more people who will be staying over without the consent of our host.

i understand your concern that they live quite far and it was already very late at night.

i know that you were merely taking your chances and we know that you are responsible enough not to venture into "such acts" while at the house of other people.

but the dilemma there was there was no consent of our host.

please understand, even in my point of view, it looked as though the respect was lost and there was a lack in staying with decisions made.

there were mistakes.

the guests not asking the permission of the host before hand

and the painful words of our host, fuji-senpai.

it was just too much for all of us.

from what school?

"your tezuka is not like tezuka and your oishi is not like an oishi? are you even from seigaku?

hhhmmm... i'm surely different from echizen. so from what school do you think i am?

/thinks. Yamabuki. you are like LUCKY Sengoku.

aahhh yes... him."

videos that made my day!

despite the troubles and internal struggles i had today, these videos just make me feel better (~_~)

there are other videos but i can't put them all here. (~_~)

4 hours

this was the average number of hours i stayed with my friends since yesterday. (^_^)

last night, i went out with my "seigaku" friends to celebrate the birthday of our taka-san. (^_^)

i was with them from 7:30pm till 11:45pm. we ate at Kenny Rogers/ Seattle's Best (two different brands, one owner, one venue). this was supposed to be a birthday surprise for the celebrant but there was no specific plan so is was just go with the flow. (^_^) we talked about our work and other things/ events happening in our lives. in a way, it was a "catch-up" session. (^_^) as we were about to leave, i bought Almond Mocha Latte, which i greatly recommend. (=^_^=) then again, i love it because of its sweetness and thickness. (^_^) but if you don't have a sweet tooth, i don't think you'd enjoy it though. (^_^)

today, i went to a gathering of my high school friends, 12:30pm to 4:30pm . (^_^) i was really excited to see them. there were only a few of us though but it was alright. we had fun!! especially with the Guitar Hero (^_^) i'm a begginer and i know i will really make mistakes but i'm thankful that i never had the feeling of disappointment when i was making mistakes. i just had fun. (^_^) i guess it also helped that my friends were understanding and were simply enjoying the game as well. thanks guys, thanks ScarMid. (^_^)

after my ScarMid bonding, kin-chan and i went to fuji-senpai's house (^_^) kei arrived an hour or two after we arrived. we were there approximately 5pm till 9:15pm. fuji-senpai just got back from New Jersey a few days ago (^_^) she invited us over because we practically missed each other. (^_^) the usual LOLness, fangirling and "sabawness" of course. (>_<) the addition would be the "giving of souvenirs" or "pasalubongs" from fuji-senpai, which most come from their basement in New Jersey. (>_<) we also had dinner at her place, spaghetti with senpai's own recipe for the spaghetti sauce. (^_^)

i just realized all this as i was walking on my way home from senpai's house. (^_^)

night out "seigaku"! / otanjou-bi omedetou momo-senpai :3

well, not really all my the members of our seigaku (v_v)

memebers/guests:

• eiji (thera)
• mray (thera's boyfriend)
• momo (raqz/ birthday celebrant)
• taka (jho)
• oishi (meg)
• marion (mray and thera's friend/ suitor of raqz XD)

and yours truly, echizen :3

the first four from the bulleted list plus me watched a horror movie, which really creeped me out! why? it's for private discussions only. XD

i'm really really fond of watching horror movies in movies theaters, in dvd or steaming sites, it's fine though. (^_^) since the birthday celebrant wanted a horror movie, we followed her wish. (>_<)

after the movie, we went to Tomatokick. that was were oishi and marion joines us. we had dinner and had drinks , as in liquor. (^_^)

got a bit tipsy but still capable of going home safe. but since two members of the group seem to have over done it, some of us decided to call it a night. i was supposed to go with mray on my way home after bringing home eiji but in the end, i slept at eiji-s house along with momo. i was like a liaison between momo-senpai's mom and momo-senpai. some of use decided to just let her sleep at eiji-senpai's house for safety reasons. so i was the one who vouched for her and talked to her mom.

while we were at eiji-senpai's house, she finally gave us our gifts which have been quite over due XD but i did not mind (^_^) gifts are still gifts and i willingly accept them (^_^)

this morning, eiji-senpai and her family brought us to momo-senpai home. (^_^) i still kinda had that feeling of being a liaison. (^_^)

got got home in time lunch :3

and lastly, otanjou-bi omedetou gozaimasu momo-senpai! :3

dinner with seigaku

dinner with seigaku, unfortunately, fuji-senpai and "ryuzaki-sensei" (issa) was not there.

obviously, senpai is in new jersey and ryuzaki was working...

kin-chan and mray (the boyfriend of our "eiji") also joined us. ^_^

we ate at KKK, the place i greatly recommend ♥

i knew that the servings were for 2-3 people but i guess they did not really expect it that much so when the food arrived, there were looooooottttssss of food on the table ^_^

we were so full! (^_^)

i really missed them because it is only with them when i can really be chipper and hyper and talkative all that same time! (^_^)

no pictures yet, till waiting for the uploads (^_^)

Ongaku Intersection!

friday night, i went (with kin-chan) to the second gig of fuji-senpai. (^_^)

it was great and they had fans!!

before their performance though, we had our usual kulitan sabaw moments (>_<)

this picture is just CRACK!

we kinda "own" actors and here are the corresponding owners XD

fuji-senpai = masa/niou
ochibi (me) = ryuki/echizen
kin-chan/rei = takuya/kin-chan

after their performance, we ate Mcdo with some of fuji-senpai's friends.  (^_^)

fun fun night! ♥

rush update!

minna!!!!!!

it's been a week since i last updated ne? unfortunately, i'm currently rushing because i will be going to the province. (>_<) its was a double busy week last week due to sudden work and assistance i had to do. well, i think i have to expect that since that is the nature or work right? it increases as time passes by. anyways, last weekend, we attended this birthday party of ryo's classmate. i actually i never liked the venue of his classmates' birthday celebrations but of course, we went there for the food. (>_<) and of course, the "huge pizza" ! but tell you the truth, the pizza we made last august was better and that was homemade. (~_~) we had early dinner at the mall because we planned to watched a movie later that night. i took a picture of the clouds while we were eating. cute!!!!!! after dinner we watched the movie, "Despicable Me" i really really really loved the cuteness and heart-warming storyline. others may say it's typical but the presentation was very very amusing!! (^_^)

minna~~ ever wondered what i looked liked working and not in the mood? XD

till next time minna!!!! ♥

events

from wednesday last week till last sunday, i was busy with "events"

the first event (thursday) was the SEEDS graduation (a scholarship program by our company) at our work place. one word, HECTIC. it was a very hectic day! i missed almost 2/3 of the event because we were rushing some changes for the event. at some point, i hated this day because it was the day i felt really disappointed, under appreciated, over worked, frustrated and tired, after two and a hald months of working. but after a few minutes of drama, i felt better thanks to some friends and co-workers at work. :) i was left behind to do some fixing up but i did not mind. (^_^)

the second event (friday) well, its not really an event but what the heck! after work, i went to fuji-senpai's place. in a way, it was a surprise visit. i really really miss her since we rarely see each other because i am usually busy and tired because of work while she is busy because of thesis. anyways, we had our usual "how are you" talk and "japanese topics" talk. :) i really enjoy her company because i learn from her a lot of things and (i hope she also learns something from me XD) i really love the food at their house. (^_^) i never get bored when i am talking with senpai ♥ senpai and her mom brought me home around 10pm or 11pm. (^_^)

the third event (saturday) was an unexpected one with my friends from college. we went out for dinner and had a catch up chat. (^_^) when it was time to go home, my sister texted me and told me that they went out (late at night) and there was nobody home. it was useless to go home so i stayed at this restaurant for a while. another reason for staying at that particular restaurant? i have a crush there (○^_^○)

moving on! hahahahaha!

the fourth and last event (sunday) was the birthday celebration of my mom here ar our house. i had some of my officemates come over and we sang karaoke. but the main event for me was when we cooked pizza! i was so proud because we were the ones who put the ingradients (^_^) we also had other guests (former officemates of my father who speak spanish) which of course, i enjoyed listening to their discussion. (^_^)

and that were my reasons for not being able to blog right away! hahahaha!

oyasumi minna-san! (U_U)

PS.
the weather has been really cold and wet, and there have been strong winds and heavy rains come evening. i like it. :3
