Shigure-san :">

Yuki-kun!!! >.< ***Spoiler Alert***

I forgot to mention that a few Saturdays ago, I found the fifth book of the Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition. Ever since, I’ve been switching from Shigure-san to Kyo-kun, but in this book, Hatsuharu-kun has been added, and then in the end, it was all about Yuki-kuuuuun :”> 

*MELT* XD

Oh, Yuki!!! XD *heartbeats* 

A Nice Evening, A Little Unexpected

Not that I expected a bad night XD But I was expecting at least one that would offer a nice dinner and then we’d be going home early. However, it turned out to be so much Funner XD

First off we had a nice dinner at Zao, where Allan, my sister, and I shared pho, curry, tofu, and seafood rice. Denise ordered something else. Afterwards we ordered Vietnamese coffee which was really good (^^,) Then we went to Fully Booked where I found the 5th of the Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition XD After that Denise and I had a major laugh trip about notebooks and bookmarks and everything XD

Initially, I was planning not to go out but now I’m so glad I went XD

Shelf Buddies

I took these photos some time during the last week of April, after we have just moved in to our current home. I arranged by books in my shelf, and placed some shelf buddies with certain books ^.^

Books

A huge maleta of books is sooo heavy. Nararamdaman ko na minumura ako ng maleta ko XD Well at least the books are packed, along with old art stuff, and DVDs, CDs, and small random things that I inserted here and there. Only my Fruits Basket manga (hey I just mentioned this in an FB message a few seconds ago) na lang ang nakalabas na books. And the Japanese book I am currently using on top of my official book from class. And Good Omens which I am re-reading. 

Uhm, wait. Now that I checked again, there are yoga books and magazines pa pala and more Japanese books. Anyway saka na yun. ANG INET. So maliligo muna ako. 

But I am pleased that my packing is so neat and organized (^^,)

High Street High

Sunday was great even though I was not able to stick to my schedule ^.^ I woke up around 2 in the afternoon. Around 4, I studied Nihongo and was planning to do yoga at 5. However, Mao and my sister came by to drop off some stuff for the garage sale, and asked me if I wanted to go with them to High Street. The warning signs of SHOPPING flashed through my mind, but I just decided I won’t spend, and went with them. 

Then I bought stuff from Lush. 

Then we went to Gourdo’s for pizza, coffee, and gelato (^^,) I LOVE Gourdo’s pizzas (^^,) And coffee. And gelato. And yes, the pizzas XD

Then we spent quite a long time at Fully Booked, Mao at the music area and my sister and I checking out the books. Checked out Furubaa too but the next episode wasn’t there yet. So I just bought a case for Hinamori and super pretty notebooks. Then we passed by the Coffee Bean before going home around 11. 

I then realized that the whole of High Street emanates with all these pleasant emotions that they make you feel like it’s great to spend and shop XD 

Happy Yoga

Tonight was one of those moments when I truly enjoyed my yoga (^^,) I mean, I normally do, but usually as I go about my day, the feeling I got from my practice has already dissipated. Tonight though, (I don’t know if it’s because I did today’s yoga in the evening instead of early morning) I felt much more relaxed and “peaceful” after yoga than I normally do. And it was so great that the feeling has carried over until now, and the activities I did after yoga seemed more fun, or the joy of doing them were sort of, more magnified. (Plus! The bothersome pain on my left shoulder is gone, as well as the pain on my right arm! XD)

Happiness (^^,) Or, as someone would put it, peachness! XD 

So, because of tonight’s happy yoga, I will REARRANGE my entire schedule for next week XD (Ang dumi na ng planner ko I swear. Hindi bale cute naman ichura nya sa labas. Malay ba nilang puro correction strips sa loob XD Note: Ang cute din ng correction wipe.)

So anyway back to yoga and skeds. I am guessing it’s also because it’s a holiday, so I didn’t feel hurried. I admit that sometimes I do the corpse pose at the shortest possible time because I have work to do or I’m just feeling like I need time for other things. So, I will be rearranging my schedule so that I can allot a bigger chunk of time (probably as big as the chunk of chocolate I gave to… itself XD) to my yoga, so that I wouldn’t have to hurry or be distracted by the thought of Time. That’s pretty tough, since my Japanese classes are starting on Monday, and I’d have Wednesdays half day, which means my working hours on other week days are extended. So I’m also thinking of doing my yoga in the afternoon or evening instead of morning, to really avoid feeling hurried. Anyway I will be fixing it this weekend. (^^,) 

Oh Noes.

It’s late. It’s like a quarter past midnight and I am still in front of the computer, a certain song still on loop >.<

Not that I’m an insomniac tonight - I know that I will fall asleep immediately when my head hits the pillow. In fact, it’s been like that for the past few nights! Isn’t that SUPER GREAT? (^^,)

So, it’s also not because I got addicted to Kanji. In fact, I did not study tonight >.<

Based on one of my previous entries about what to do, yes I was able to do a bit of clutter clearing and I cleaned the area in my room where I keep my bogu, yoga and exercise stuff, and other things. However, I was not able to stick to my plan of bath-dinner-Kanji-sleep. 

As I took a bath, a creative idea came to me, and I got all fired up and started writing down my thoughts as soon as I got out, with a towel still wrapped around my head. I wrote down all I could think of about it, then started the creative thing. 

I decided to skip Kanji and postpone dinner to around 11 pm, the time when my mom comes home from a prayer meeting. Naturally, sleep has been pushed back too, so sana magising pa ako nang maaga at magkaron ng energy for kendo. And if makarating ng kendo, sana mag-last at mag-survive. I will try to take a nap before kendo, it will help. 

So, I chose to focus on the creative thing while the creative juices were flowing, and I knew I should start it already before the excitement dies away. Besides, my horoscope for this week told me that I should find a way for my emotions to have an outlet through creative means hehehe. I’ve been kind of agitated all afternoon and evening that I knew I had to be able to do something to use up all that energy. Obviously I am still releasing some, although I’m feeling less alert now, so I will be climbing to bed in a while. 

But, I’ve started with the creative thing. (^^,) So far I like how it looks. It’s nothing big, really, but I just liked the idea and all the stuff that came to my head as I took a bath.

Will now read a bit of Fruits Basket then sleep na. Oyasumi, minasan! (wave)

Reading Time

I’m excited to finish work tonight because I plan to finish the book I’m reading then move on to the 4th Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition then move on to other books (^^,) I will just need to clean up one of my shelves and study a bit more Kanji, then it’s reading time! Plus I just realized there is no work tomorrow so, yay!

The Fourth of the Ultimate Edition

Yay

Super Shopping

So yesterday, I went out with my sister and  her kareshi. I was so glad to be out of the house because the weather was so perfect - it was so sunny and windy - a PERFECT summer weather.

We went to Gourdo’s for pepperoni pizza, their super yummy iced tea, and gelato. Mao had coffee instead of gelato. Then we walked to Fully Booked to browse, and the walk did me wonders because the sun felt so warm on my face and hair, and by evening my face was glowing and I noticed that somehow my skin cleared a bit And in Fully Booked, I found the 4th book of the Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition YAY I usually find the Ultimate Edition in a set, but I already have books 1 to 3. So now I got the 4th book

Afterwards we went to this Japanese store and I was so thrilled to find the stuff from The 100 Yen Shop being sold there. It was like The 100 Yen Shop was brought here. Frantically I went around and bought loads of stuff and found those things which I was not able to buy when I was in The 100 Yen Shop It was funny when I found the envelopes for the wedding presents because I had the exact kinds as my desktop wallpaper before So there, I stepped out with a huge shopping bag and happily brought my loot with me  

Ultimate Edition 4

Has just finished the Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition 3 *sniff* and I can’t wait to get and read the next one… Need to go hunt in the mall jungle for this among other important things essential for living my life
