Important Birthdays in Vivid

Important Birthdays in Vivid
Third Birthdays are important in Japan. And Eighteenth Birthdays are significant in the Philippines. Walk with me as I talk a little about these two important celebrants. 


Baby Tora kun the great!! I’m so happy that I get to attend Tora’s 3rd because you know, I know it’ll be a while until I get to attend any of his important birthdays, so I made sure I get to attend this one. 


Happy 3rd Birthday, handsome!! Believe it or not, in your 3 years of existence, your life has been pretty dramatic (already) and I witnessed it all, little man! Tita loves you! 

so Filipino
Birthday Cake!

Also, to my bestfriend, I’m so proud of the mother you’ve become. No one could have done a better job raising Tora! :) 


On the same day, my sister Mika turned 18. Like, what?? It only feels like it is yesterday when I was the one who’s 18. Now, it’s already the two of us. Sooner or later, there’s gonna be 3 of us. OMG time flies. ;)


Happy Happy Birthday, Mika! It pains my heart that I can’t be there with you on your Birthday but you know, can’t really do anything about it can we? That’s all!! 二人ともお誕生日おめでとう!

Pocky ダブル

Pocky ダブル 
Pocky Double!! Soo nice. I saw this recently and of course I have to try. I think it’s me getting old but I haven’t been craving for sweets for quite a long time now. But you know! Actually I don’t. Haha
Pocky Double
チョコラ and フロマージュ
Both are nice but if I have to choose, I’d pick the チョコラ (CHOCOLA). I like that it’s a little bitter! The formage is kind of sweet but it’s also kind of nice! :) The stick is sooo nice though. But I don’t know if I’d like to eat it on its own. That’s all!

This used to be Takarajima Yakiniku but now it’s called Ichiban. I went with Hidemi and baby Tora!! Who’s not soo baby anymore by the way! 

Yas

The meat they serve is not top quality but since I was really craving fatty meat and stuff, it sufficed! We probably ate three or four times the meat on the table. Also ate a lot of other things such as soups and fries. 

This

I wasn’t actually able to eat ice cream on its own but I heard it was sooo good!! 

slushies

Hidemi made us some waffles as well! You can top it with either choco sauce or caramel. And if you fancy, ice cream!! 

kakigori!! 

This reminds me sooo much of my childhood!

Cotton Candy Machine which I don’t dare operate. Sister Hidemi dared and successfully made us some.

Ta-da!!! 

That’s all! Thanks Hidemi for cooking and for making all the sweets! You know, I’m always sooo tamad grilling and stuff. Thank goodness everyone around me does all the work and all I do is eat!! Haha

Sorry na. Anyways, I have a lot of stories to tell so leggo! First of all, Netflix’s Riverdale Season 2 Episode 1 is out (as of this writing) and it’s sooo nice!!  I mean, it’s soo good! Cheryl is sooo evil but I like it! I mean I wouldn’t do (IRL) half the things she’ve done but I like her. I used to like Hermione Lodge but you know, she’s starting to get shady (NOT SO INNOCENT OF A PAWN) and I don’t like that darkness whatevs. Now the GREEN-EYED MONSTER. Seriously, that’s Mr.Cooper. Maybe! It’s always gonna be Mr. Cooper, yeah? Hahaha or!! FP Jones. I don’t even know! Basta.

What used to be my favorite chips are back! They were gone for 3 years!!! I was soo happy because you know, I saw them the morning I was gonna watch Riverdale and I was like, yas!!! They’re not as good as I remember but you know...for old time’s sake. Sometimes we’re not gonna get why we’ve done certain stuff in the past or whatnot but hey~ 

BloggerImage

You know, it was one of my co-worker’s first salary pay-off and yeah she treated us for breakfast and cake. I got the モムブラン. Soo good! When I was a child, I always thought that only grown-ups would like that cake and yeah, maybe I was wrong. That or I’m old. There are just a lot of Filipino thing that I don’t and probably won’t understand ever. BUT NONETHELESS VERY THANKFUL FOR. That’s all! Oh and I have also watched two other Netflix shows. American Vandal where two student directors tried to defend a prankster by proving he didn’t vandalize the cars. And To The Bone which is about bulimia and anorexia. Well nothing too close to heart I guess except for the student film director actor who looks like someone from the past. Not bitter. Anyways. Yun lang! Also, eat up!

15 Things I Tumblr-ed About

15 Things I Tumblr-ed About
BloggerImage

Goodness gracious! So you know, back in my day, there was Tumblr. If I have to compare it to anything now, it’s like Pinterest. You know, some definitely have personal accounts but for most of us, it’s blogging minus the commitment. Anyways, I started blogging with Tumblr in December 2009 and my last post was in April 2014. So basically I was with this site from age 18-22. Sooo young, huh? Also, my handler then was PERIPHERALSMILE.TUMBLR.COM. Just sayin’. So yeah here we go.

15. The Witty Stuff

BloggerImage
OMG, right? Like, what if?

14. Food 

BloggerImage

Basically of cakes, cookies, sweet stuff, Korean food, and pizza. I’m very predictable. 

13. Art

BloggerImage

I’m not even much of a fan now. I mean, sometimes.

12. Life

BloggerImage

Because we all think of this once in a while. And it’s okay. 

11. Words of Wisdom

BloggerImage
You see, Tumblr is not always about dark/heavy stuff. 

10. Cute Boys

BloggerImage

Francisco Lachowski, everybody. 

9. Vintage Looking Flowers

BloggerImage

This is soo nice! Something I’d do when I set up my own clinical laboratory. Or you know, just hang a picture of it.

8. KPOP stuff

BloggerImage

I liked them then, I still like them now. Some things last (a very long time). 

7. Ballet Stuff

BloggerImage

I find ballet pictures very calming for some reason. They’re just very composed. 

6. Nail Polish Stuff

BloggerImage

Chunky Glitter Polish for life!

5. Shoes

BloggerImage

I can’t believe I posted soo many shoe stuff. Don’t get me wrong though, I like me some shoes! But man, I won’t even dare wear half the shoes that I posted. What was I thinking?

4. Football Stuff

BloggerImage
Actually stopped watching few years after Spain won the World Cup. 

3. Fashion in General

BloggerImage
Though I may have posted some dresses I won’t even wear now, these I want to grab and replace my wardrobe with. Or is it too much for my age? I’m old. 

2. Harry Potter Stuff

BloggerImage

I think this post was before I was even sorted to Slytherin. I wouldn’t probably get the Death Mark as a tattoo but you know, can’t say I don’t find it charming. 

1. The Eiffel Tower

BloggerImage

I mean, of course I did.

October Air

October Air

Hola! It's October! It's getting colder. Rainy season is kind of over. It's starting to look a lot like fall. My kind of season. Got a few things to tell you so leggo! I got a haircut!! Yay! Also got it dyed but nothing dramatic. I think it's the last haircut I'm gonna get in years. I think I got rid of the damaged hair from when I had it bleached. OMG hair and life! LOL. I actually wanted to go back to red but nah. In less than 3 months, I'll be going to the Philippines! Definitely something to look forward to! :) I miss my family. Better grab the chance while I still can. I miss everyone! Speaking of the fam, this month, my sister Mika turns 18!! Like, what? I can still remember the days when she was just a little annoying puff ball! I can't say I'm not proud! Advance Happy 18th Birthday, guuuurrrlll!! Where did the time go? Anyways. 
I've been really thinking a lot these days. Asking myself a lot of things. To be honest, as carefree as I seem, I kind of have a lot of worries. The future is scary. I just hope it finds me well.  All I can do about it now is to start with a very light heart. That's all, I guess?
