Hairdos for School

Rockwell is turning Japanese-y

One thing I so love about Japan (and soooo miss right now) is its food.
True that the usual Japanese food is an acquired taste - I did not like miso soup the first time I tasted it - but once you loved it, you will want more!

On our first day as Intra-company assignee, Kayumi-san (hay... i also so miss this guy. he was like our dad there) took us to Pepper Lunch in Fuchu City for lunch. When I had the first bite of the famous Pepper Steak, I knew we will be coming back for more. This is the meal/resto where I can eat almost everyday - this we almost did! :P

Japan is also the place where you can find almost any kind/variation of chocolate. They have a LOT - especially when it is Valentine's day. On V-day the girls usually give chocolates to their male colleagues and friends. But it was not V-day when we tasted the best chocolate ever! Kitayama-san gave us Royce chocolates as omiyage from his hometown in Hokkaido. This is the chocolate that melts in your mouth and also on your hands. LOL.

Pepper Lunch is already available in Rockwell. Royce store will open soon. How I wish I could frequent Rockwell so I could eat PL and Royce chocolates everyday - goodbye diet! :P

I want a new Digi-cam

I haven't been blogging much. I cannot even join LP coz I don't have a decent camera. And I want a new one - now!!

Saw this cute new Canon Digicam from ShopCrazy. I miss my CanonJP days. When new products from Canon is released, we always get the news first from the intranet. And I miss Japan where there are lots of electronics shops where I can play with these new toys first before buying.

But since this is from Canon, I don't really need to test this first. I'm still very loyal to that brand even if I already left the company. They have really good products.

Why Sakura Tattoo

sakura-tattoo.blogspot.com

so why the name?
can you see my pic in the profile?
what do you think? maganda ba? cool?

yes, that is a real tattoo. a real tattoo on MY back. i have been inked. and this is my first post about it.

i said that anything about me or about my family will be posted in my other blogs. so why am i sharing? just to add history to the blog.

first of all it is the year 2008. this year i will be turning 30. a big leap if you ask me. starting a new decade. (waaahhh tumatanda na ako.) and i would like to start a new me.

we were inspired by L.A. Ink in Discovery Travel and Living. we saw that tattoo was an art and an expression of one's self. we were inspired by other people who would have their tattoos as a reminder of things that happened in their life. and tattoo is not taboo anymore. many people are having it - even ladies.

and having a tattoo is my first adventure of the year. it took me a while to think of a good design. i wanted it to be symbolic. not just some design i saw in the net or on somebody else's body. something that would remind me of things that happened to me. so i thought of a design that would represent my life while i was in japan. so many good things happened to me there. things that i will never forget.

"In Japan, cherry petals/trees are a symbol for the beauty of transient things. It's the concept that when you know something is short lived, it makes you appreciate it more when it's around and adds to its beauty and sadness. " - WikiAnswers

so for me, this sakura tattoo symbolizes my short stay in japan. it was short, but very meaningful, beautiful and memorable experience.

for detailed kwento about having the tattoo, read my other blogs.
