自殺者1万人を救う戦い - SAVING 10,000 - Winning a War on Suicide in Japan

>> Monday, May 20, 2013

I have been an avid fan of the Japanese culture since the moment I laid eyes on Dragonball. From then on, I have always enjoyed all the wonderful ideas and creativity they introduce. We see the beautiful cities and towns, the delicious food, the booming business, the beauty of Japan itself but we all know that not everything we see on the television is all beauty. Somewhere behind the wonderful stage are some of the citizens suffering as well. I know that but I have not realized how much bad it was until I saw this video. Hopefully by posting this video on my blog and sharing it on my Facebook page, I will was also able to help out someone out there or at least inspire someone out there to help.

"Nobody wants to die. They're just waiting for help. Why don't we try to reach out to help them? A citizen's life is priceless. It's a treasure, isn't it? People are begging for help, aren't they? Why are we not reaching out our hand to them? If you just look the other way, that's just the same as a crime. It's an aggravated abandonment crime."

Hong Kong Again - Day 1

>> Sunday, May 19, 2013

On this day marks the beginning of our "vacation." Woke up around 9 or so, had breakfast in McDonald's because the fat kids demanded so and after which headed out to the big city. Oh and we had this tour around the city that is good for two days which basically ate majority of the time we were in Hong Kong.



We seem to have this picture as our signature sisterly look. The bus tour was like half a day if you really want to finish everything in the city so I think we were done around 2pm or something then we had late lunch. I think we ate at McDonald's again because fat spoiled kids demanded once more. McDonald's in Hong Kong, actually in other countries but the Philippines, serve fast food only (e.g burgers, french fries, nuggets, etc..) which is not good since we all know how bad that is for our health. I had tea for lunch (don't judge me).




The bus tour was good in some way that you get to know the city very well BUT I also got bored fast. My sister actually fell asleep beside me and said to just wake her up when we're going to Lady's Market. After lunch, we headed out to lady's market and boy did I get some awesome stuff in there. I forgot to take a pretty photo of them when I had the time in the hotel (joke. I never had the time when I reached the hotel) so pardon the photo that is taken in my little sister's room which I will post... soon... maybe. Also we got to see their harbor/ pier too where the Symphony of lights is gonna be held (everyday?)at 9pm or something which was also in our schedule of sights to see.




Despite the big amount of locals and tourists mixed in this particular area, it was awesome to find a spot to take a photo without having to worry of another person at the back. And yes, my sister can't take a straight picture with or without glasses. And to my greatest surprise when I saw this very nostalgic duck too. I immediately went crazy fangirl over it like how an geek geeks out on a new gadget or how a nerd nerds out over a physics or math problem.



For a much accurate photo with my reaction the first time I saw this majestic creature,


And all the time this was in my head was,


I kid you not. I actually have more photos of it because every time we pass by the place I would take a photo of it again, but sadly we were just there for a short while for the duck. After that, we headed out to the pier/ harbor and positioned ourselves to get a nice spot to take pretty pictures but then again



We had 30 minutes or more before the show began so me and a pro-camera handler (pro-photograher) kid decided to test out some shots, and sadly the fog covered most of it. We hoped the lights would be big and obvious so we won't have problems with taking pictures but then...



They said the show was supposed to have some light shows not from within the buildings but some laser like light thingies. We watched the entire show and I barely saw any. My sister was in a bad mood at that time so she was mopping most of the time because she really wanted to charge her phone. I feel you, sister. We actually managed to get a 3G sim card good for a week so it was the best thing we ever had but sadly it ate our phone's battery like a fat kid eating in an all-you-can-eat buffet. We barely saw lights and our phone was dying and the sad part is, in our hotel there are only 2 outlets to charge and it has 3 holes in it, rather different from what we have here in our country. We didn't bring any adapters too but the guys in the hotel were kind enough to let us borrow one of their adapters. So that means me and my little sister were fighting over the adapter. Moving along, since we didn't get any pretty picture on the lights, I figured I might as well edit the photo so make the colors a bit visible and obvious.




And that's all for Day 2! Day 3 might take a bit longer since this post just drained my motivation to do things. It's already 11am and I haven't eaten breakfast yet.

Hong Kong Again - Day 0

>> Saturday, May 18, 2013

I have got to be the epiphany of laziness. This is a bit due and I haven't even sorted things yet and by things I mean the photos from Hong Kong. I need to do something. So basically speaking, a week ago, me along with my little sister, mother and company decided to go to Hong Kong. Our flight was least first class and was scheduled at 11pm or something close, so we arrived at Hong Kong international airport around 1am or 2am. And as far as I can remember, Hong Kong international airport is still as grand as I can remember. Sadly I wasn't able to take a good photo of the entire place, maybe next time. Some men that look more Korean than Chinese picked us up and took us to our hotel or guest room. My mother calls it a guest room, so lets go with guest room.



Oh, this is the name of the place and is located in Tsim Sha Tsui. The real name of the guest room (hotel) is Days and Night Hotel. Picture this, you arrive in another country with your two daughters both at their prettiest despite the ungodly hour. The three of you walk into this place where an Indian and a Black man greets you while they ask you so many things in English but in Indian/ Chinese accent (I couldn't tell the difference and I personally believe its a mix of both). Imagine how scared my mother was. Yeah, I was a bit scared the first time too but the place wasn't so bad actually once you get used to it. I'll have to say that place is for travelers who go on backpack not extremely heavy luggage. I would personally recommend Holiday Inn for those who wish to stay with luggage. It's an awesome hotel, a bit pricey, but awesome. Located right next to our building so you don't have to worry about MRT and shopping district.




Our room has four bed with the 3 flat socket-outlet thingy. Well, if you look at your flat iron, it should look like that. Oh, and please don't be fooled by the picture. I used my wide angle lens so it looks spacey. The room is actually clean and there is hot water. No tub and the shower was poorly placed. They have a hair dryer and a little fridge that is right under your table. It's an okay place if only it was in another building.

Wow, that really made me tired so I'll just end this post here and hopefully I will get creative with the next one. Hopefully.

Elections 2013

>> Sunday, May 12, 2013

Just back to Cebu and just in time to vote for the 2013 Elections to which I am not ecstatic about. Though I would love to make a post first about my trip to Hong Kong for a week, I would like to start first with a short rant on our government. A lot of people, not only Filipinos, but foreigners as well, have already expressed how much screwed up our government is. I'm still in my early 20s, and I have no idea who the candidates are and what good will it do to vote this year. Frankly speaking, all of them are candidates are corrupt and evil. You can tell me all the good they have done do you and your family but in my eyes, these "representatives" of our country are nothing more but wolf in sheep's clothing. They give you around 1000php, free lunch, hug and kisses for your vote and when the time comes, steal all the hard earned money we have labored for our entire life. What is the point of this system when in the end, its just going to keep us draining not only in money but in our rights as well. How low must we be in order for those on top of us to be finally satisfied?

I don't blame the other Filipinos who have left this undead country when one can see how the other Asian countries have flourished. This entire country is a scam. We keep giving but gain nothing and now its voting time and our current President is more busy with his personal life than the country. Does he not know the word "patriotism?" When I was about to return to Cebu, we met this one Filipino guy who works in the Hong Kong Airport. He has been working for 30 years and is already a dual citizen both to the Philippines and Hong Kong. He's already in his 60s but he only looks like a 40s guy. He has been to other Asian countries since he was 19 years old because of work and his exact words were, "Pag-alis ko sa Pilipinas, mas maganda pa yung airport kaysa Hong Kong. Pero ano ngayon? Wala talaga eh, binubulsa ng gobyerno." The government can say anything they want in their campaigns but all the citizens, seniors, adults and children, knows that every candidate in that room is only aiming for our tax. We live in a scam country and the citizens are slowly getting sullied just for the sake of their family to survive in this undead country.

Going to Hong Kong - Preparing Stuffs and Attack On Titans

>> Sunday, May 5, 2013

I specifically remember asking my mother yesterday what time our flight would be today and I remember she specifically said we'd be leaving at 10 in the morning, why the hell it all changed last night from morning to night? Leave it to my mother to tell me all the lies for her convenience.



It's already the month of May and somehow along the way, my mother managed to finally take me along on another trip to Hong Kong after a few years of trying to avoid going back there. Hong Kong is a good place, its just my company to going there isn't as good as the country we're visiting. Moving forward, it's 11:22AM and I am around 90% done packing for my stuff. Hopefully by 3pm or 5pm I have everything already. Hopefully. While I write my rant here as I wait for the time, my mother is all me and my sister, like a big mother hen reminding us to finish packing every 15 minutes for the entire week. I can feel her euphoria and its creepy for both me and my sister who will be spending the entire week with her on this trip. I can understand since my jerk dad won't be going, me and my sister are happy as well. We don't want his presence to spoil the trip for the entire week.

While waiting for the time, I am recently hooked up with this recent anime which is morbidly sick in a good way. I can imagine some people have seen it but to those who haven't I present to you, Attack On Titans.







FAITH IN ANIME HAS BEEN RESTORED!! I would prefer making a different post about this but this is just a quick introduction about the anime. I'm currently trying to get episode 3-5 so while I'm on the plane I have something to do aside from staring into the starry sky and sleep. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!! *wheeze* Also, I'm just going to post this photo of Okita Souji as a reminder that there is that pending post I need to make. I should leave my PSP since I got my camera and laptop to keep me busy.
