May 26, 2012 -- I just can't believe I managed to go to Ms. Phylicia Marie Pineda's (http://phyliciamarie.com) online shop: "Peaches on Top" photoshoot because yesterday I was swimming all day with some friends 'til night.
Eunice Chua
The shoot was held at Burgundy near DLSU Taft. The main purpose of the shoot is for her online shop.
Eunice Lodripas
The shoot started as early as lunch time. Just imagine the intensity of the sun rays on the rooftop! As I shoot these two lovely models: Eunice Chua and Eunice Lodripas, I can feel that I'm a living soon-to-be barbecue. Well I think it's better than having a rainy day.
Eunice Chua
The two lovely girls well cooperated with the flow of the shoot. Well maybe it's because of the heat that crunches our skin. Anyway, lots of pretty and cute clothes can be found on Phya's online shop! Try visiting her online shop! (click me...NOOOO...just click me)
Eunice Lodripas
Oh I just wish I can wear these outfits because they're just soooooo cuteeeeee (LOOOOOOOOOOOL).
Eunice Lodripas
The shoot ended around 1:30 pm. I'm so happy that my skin will now end suffering the wrath of our mother sun.
March 18, 2012 -- And of course Mitsui Aika and Niigaki Risa just graduated a couple of hours ago from Morning Musume. It's sad that Gaki and Aika graduated of course.
Ten years of stay for Niigaki gave fans so much attachment that it's so hard to let go. But still all has to end and that end is today.
She has been the leader of Morning Musume and whole H!P for 8months and she deserved that position. Unfortunately for aika, her graduation was just announced around 10 days before this day.
I believe Aika fans out there fainted by just hearing the graduation announcement without any preparation of going to her graduation concert. Well for me, harsh treatment was given because she got no graduation Photobook, DVD, and such. Unlike Risa, she got some.
Oh well aika needed to graduate from the group because of her injury. I think it's better for her too. Just like Eri's graduation because of her skin disease. I think it's for the better.
But so as to their graduation, Tsunku announced the 11th gen graduation. So as these two ended their membership today, another set of generation will enter the group!
Of course most of the fans are excited to see what will be the new members look like and their talents.
So fans out there, relax! Let's just give them our best wishes and good lucks as they pursue their dreams outside the group! :D
(I do not own the medias posted here. Credits belong to their respectiev owners. :( Sorry for not referencing your works though, I just don't know the original creators of some medias I found :D )
I just found some Sayu x Ai pics on the web. (Credit goes to their respective owners, I don't own these pics)
The first pic happened on their Ai Believe concert (I believe so). Maybe Ai-chan gave Sayu the chance to catch her for the last time in a concert. Every time Sayu attempts so, Ai-chan dodges/avoids the contact. Well good thing for Sayu, she caught ai-chan for the last time! Bye Ai-chan :(
And here is the newspaper excerpt wherein a blind item is posted which says that a celebrity idol is said to be a lesbian. Well as you look at it (below), it seems that it's SO OBVIOUS that it's pertaining to Sayumi Michishige. And the censored spot on Sayu's face, ughhhhhhh it's still pretty obvious that she's the one that is being pointed by the blind item. Well true or not, Sayu will still be cute forever and ever. Ichiban kawaii~ hohoho.
I just found some Kira-Kira PB of Reina Tanaka scans on the web. I just want to have a copy of this PB oh please someone give me oneeeeee ;________; :DDDD
I'm just about to die ASDADKAMSDMASKDMAS%#$&YTHSDGSD. Anyway, let's work hard to have one! Gambareina!
March 26, 2012 - A great day to go out and have some swimming. It's summer! Yes! S-U-M-M-E-R. The hottest season of the year in the Philippines. Philippines has 2 seasons to be exact. First, the summer season wherein that moment when you go outside at 12 noon, you're gonna get your skin toasted within just 5 minutes of exposure to the sun. Then the rainy season wherein traumatic flooding will occur and lots of families' houses will be taken away again by the storm. I'm not happy with the rainy season because lots of mourning will be experienced once more. God help the Philippines.

Moving on, I went to Greenview Phase 3 Fairview, Quezon city to visit my friends who gathered there for the seasonal H!PRealm meet-up. It's my first time being there and to see other H!PRealm buddies who I just always have talked with online. So I was there around 11am? Or 12 noon. Not quite sure but it's a gloomy day. Thanks clouds for protecting us from the sun.
When I got there, all the folks were eating and I was just right in time to eat something. I'm starving due to the long travel. It took me around 1 hour and 30 minutes because I came from Malabon city.
While I was eating, they were playing H!P music videos. Some were all like wakutekawakutekawakuteka and doing the wota chant. Of course it's fun seeing them enjoy themselves and releasing their heart out and savoring the day. Also one of my reasons of going to this meet-up is to copy a Rival Survival concert (wherein Kamei Eri, Jun Jun, and Lin Lin graduated that event) because I was having a difficulty finding a high quality one.
Anyway, we decided to play basketball. When we did, some actually just watched because we are like more than 10. Others went playing tennis once more. And so the sports carried on and so on and so forth.
I had this Taiyaki brought by Kams for merienda. The picture above shows a Taiyaki with red beans. It's sweet and delicious. There is another flavor she brought, the one with custard. It's also sweet but not as stunning as the red bean one. For this experience, thanks Kams.
The event ended around 9pm and went on our way home back to FCM. There we ate at Jollibee for some almost-midnight snack. After eating, some of us parted ways and took alternate routes. I went with some of them going to Cubao. There I rode a bus going to Malabon city and went home. So the day was fun.
March 2012 - This season, the app "Draw Something" is famous. I've been inviting some of my friends on FB to play this. One of my friend caught my attention, Giselle Banzon.
While we were playing turns on this game, I noticed how PRO she is in drawing the said word. Here are samples of her drawings:
Twilight
The word is just "trashcan" and yet she drew Oscar! Fantastic!
World of Warcraft
Zombie
Instead of drawing a piece of rock with limbs, she drew Gollum! And she got the face of Gollum exactly as what Gollum really looks like.
I just had to share her fantastic talent! Drawing such with touch screen smartphone/iPad is really hard! Even if she has (might have) a stylus pen, it's still difficult. Well she's got the talent! *Salute*
March 24, 2012 - Another day of the year wherein our friend, RJ Ko, invites us in their annual temple related thing in which a feast is held at the President Grand Palace Restaurant. Sorry I don't know what it's exactly called. I mean no disrespect, sorry if you find this one offensive.
So I travelled from Taft with my handy-dandy friends: Mico and Danae. I think this is the first time I saw Danae if I'm correct. We took a bus going to Lawton and rode a jeep going to Divisoria. Good thing a good citizen beside us knew that we were to get off the Binondo Church and told us that we were about to miss our destination. We said "Para" (spanish word for stop. Because saying "Stop manong driver" is too mainstream) to the driver and walked our asses to the President's.
Usual chit-chats and lol-ing was observed when we got inside. Of course some of the faces there are unfamiliar because others are guests of RJ's relatives. Only 2 tables were reserved for our circle of friends. So we headed our table and relaxed.
Having our drinks served early, I again found this Wong Lo Kat Herbal tea which tastes extraordinary!!! It tastes like "Sago Gulaman" which are usually sold by street vendors. Given that it's tea, it might be a healthy drink.
The dragon dance. One cool Chinese tradition.
Because we were invited to feast the feast, I hesitated to ask what the foods are. So I just took pictures of the foods served. Here is the first one! Noodles? Pasta? I don't really know but it's delicious! To be served first for appetizer, I'll give this one a 10/10 (or maybe I just gave this a 10 because I was so hungry that time? I don't know HAHAHA). Don't underestimate the quail, it really matches the pasta/noodle/whatever.
The second one, mixed porks and chicken? Well again, I really don't know what this dish is exactly called but by observing it, I can see braised chicken (?), porkchop (?), century eggs (?), and sweetened pork (?). I give this dish an 8/10. I'm so sorry I'm just too noob to describe the dishes above. OTL
Odi - Guia - Lovelle - Aki
Mico - Danae
Here comes the 3rd dish, my favorite. Again, I don't know what it's called because... okay I'll explain why. This is because the dishes are already listed and we weren't given the menu. So let's just base on my observations and just research for the dishes' names later. HAHA.
I said that this is my favorite because inside these tenders, shrimps can be found. Sweet mayo can be tasted outside covering the tenders. Others find this not so extravagant but I found this dish superb! The sweetness along with the tenders, just exactly what my taste buds are looking for. Of course, this one is a 10/10!!! No, maybe a 15/10! Haha \O/
The 4th dish, lechon? Well I really don't know but I can compare this fresh meat with our Lechon. this tastes okay. Not bad, not so good. Just "Sakto." So I give this one a 6/10. may be I gave this one a 5 because I've been eating a lot of lechon that month. So maybe that used-to factor was involved.
The 5th dish, now I can't even remember I ate this one! So I can't describe how it tastes like. Sorry about that. Maybe I'll try to take down notes in the next President's adventure with RJ. LOL. I give this one a ?/10 for not remembering the taste. I'm a failure OTL.
The 6th dish, a soup? Sorry for not knowing what it's called once more. But this one tastes delicious! Well I don't know if it is because I was thinking that this might be the ice breaker for the "Busog" factor after 5 dishes. So I give this one a 8/10.
The 7th dish, a chicken? Now what chicken? I don't know what this is called once more haha. But this tastes kinda okayyy. Maybe because I'm just full so my taste buds aren't working that time. So I can score this one a 7/10? Maybe.
The 8th dish, pork. I've been tasting this dish from the Flavours of China and I think they're of just the same flavor. The tenderness of the pork + the sweetness of the crunches gives this dish the excitement for sweet lovers. So I give this one a 7/10.
The 9th dish, a fish. Sorry I'm not a fish fan so I just tasted this and it tastes like... a fish? so I give this one a 5/10.
Now this time. RJ gave our table a Black Label and a bottle of water. Water = chaser? Maybe? :))
The 10th and last dish, the CRAB. It's like a fried crab? Well yeah I think it is. I just tasted some of the crumbs because I'm so really full at that time. So this is somehow nice, but the "full" factor of my belly gives my sense not to give it another shot. So I give this one a 8/10.
The dessert, a putopao? Well this puto-looking dessert contains sweets inside. I almost ate 3 pieces of this even if I'm full because this one is soooo delicious in terms of dessert. So I give this one a 10/10
Another one, the mango sago. A fruitful dessert. The dessert that was served last 2011 is a lychee one. This time, it's mango. Well I like this mango sago because of it's sweetness + a sour pinch. So I give this a 9/10.
Before going home, Anjo's friend: Simon showed us his international skills in Rubik's cube. He has joined several international competitions. Just see for yourself in these videos.
This next video just shows how great Simon is! Now he's doing the Rubik's cube with just one hand! Yes you read it right! Just - one - hand!!!
Thank you RJ for this day! Hope to eat back there at the President's next year! Thank you so much!
