This week, I find myself tapping my fingernails on the table top I'm frequently on now while browsing sites for work. For the time being, since resigning from my last job as an online english conversation tutor for the Japanese (I'm looking to go back as a part timer but I don't think I'm really ready yet after the last sort of burn out), I've gone ( Read more... )

This might be the gloomiest yet of new year's we're having. 2016 didn't end right. It took away a significant number of artists/celebrities like George Michael---whom I've been depressing over for weeks now---from this world. 2017 is even looking murky if we're going to go the US politics angle: Donald Trump's inauguration people are hoping to be ( Read more... )

Enlisted the surrogate sister's help in bleaching my hair for the second time since two or three weeks ago or so. This is now what it looks like:

I don't recall the last time I've ever read a good book. Magazines, especially fashion magazines leafing through is a daily constant however. Vivi and Nylon are eternal favorites of mine.

Had a few posts drawn up but nothing was posted ultimately but there are a few updates at popculture-etc, including a really long pimp post on the newest coed group from Avex I stan, a-X's (pronounced as 'acros', katakana: アクロス) ( Read more... )

Lately, you might notice that I've been having one too many absences on a lot of my social media accounts. There are a number of reasons for that:

• Internet problems. Smartbro sucks. Period.
• Computer problems. I love this blue and black, tiny, handy Acer laptop/notebook to the tips of my heart and all but it's getting slower somehow. I'm due to get a ( Read more... )

Halloween is, perhaps, my favorite time of the year. My fondness for it eclipses even the fondness I have for my personal holiday (birthday), Christmas and the New Year’s. I’ve had a long love affair with it dating back to my pre-teens to early teens when I used to tune in on Sunday nights to businessman and psychic, Jaime T. Licauco’s A.M. ( Read more... )
