Winter Berries!

Ok, my mom just told me earlier that she agreed with me that i want to try the new KFC Krushers in Winter Berries (Strawberries & Blueberries), just in time for the Christmas season! Just because earlier, my little sister, my mom & i went to the mall, we had lunch at Jollibee & i had a yummy lunch composed of Grilled Pork Tenders & Blue Bubblegum University Float. (Upon my first sip of the Blue Bubblegum University Float, i could hear the loud crowd of the Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion & the Ateneo crowd during the UAAP games) After lunch, us 3 girls got started to go shopping, shopping for what we need & window-shopping for some accessories like necklaces, bracelets, earrings & watches. I found a gold-colored quilted shoulder bag, my mom said it was old-fashioned & my little sister said that she thought i was a fashionista. But i guess i found the perfect quilted bag i'm raving to have aside from the white-colored Parisian satchel bag with shoulder straps that i found last June 20, 2011 & it has my mom's approval since that was the perfect satchel bag i found for me, good thing my mom approved it!

At Goldilocks, i guess i found the perfect snack cravings, like chocolate chip cookies, assorted cake slices & the yummy muffins in either banana or blueberry. I really love to munch on a Goldilocks Blueberry Muffin, very delicious! I guess i really need some sweet cravings, like i stumble upon on the new Goldilocks Golden Tiger Roll, maybe i should tell my mom to buy that & we will give it a try!) I just already completed all 2011 issues of Candy Magazine, like i finally did it! It's just because i just bought the December 2011 issue of Candy Magazine even before it's release for the month of December! This is the first time i completed all issues of Candy Magazine like it's been since the year 2000 since i got started to read an issue of Candy Magazine. But it's been the greatest achievement of my life is to complete all issues of Candy Magazine for the year 2011. Now, the main focus is to buy the other magazines i want to buy, especially on the back issues of the magazines i'm raving to have. But anyway, this day was really insane, good thing myself, my mom & my little sister surely had fun after all. A girls' day out at the mall was fun!

June 20's Raining Sparkle

A bunch of times, i could always remember the rainy day of June 20, 2011. I could remember that day after the Kimchi smell of last Thursday, where i bought for myself an April 2011 issue of Sparkling K-Pop Magazine. Now, my favorite auntie will buy the October 2011 issue of Sparkling K-Pop Magazine & Popped Too which is the sequel to Popped. I just pulled out the Myx Mag K-Pop Special Edition issue which i bought last year on the same date of June 20 (that was during the 2nd day of Toycon 2010 where my favorite Auntie & i attended the 2nd Anime convention that was held at SM Megamall 2 months after Ozine Fest 2010) to get some references on the world of K-Pop. The weird part, i found my pink-colored Sony CD Walkman & it needs some repair & i need to buy a new pair of earphones or headphones. (Then i need to give my CD carry-all a well-reserved makeover) But somehow, the memories of June 20 remains that even it was a rainy day, a family gimik out was exciting after all on that day, even if the weather was quite unthinkable, because the clouds were gray & white & there were raindrops.

But every time i flipped the pages of Sparkling K-Pop Magazine April 2011 issue, the memories of June 20, 2011 still remains, like adding some K-Pop thrill on that day. (It's just because during that time, Marry Me, Mary was aired for the first time & A Crazy Little Thing Called Love was re-aired since it was a holiday then) That day was surely unforgettable after all, even if i bought the Sparkling April 2011 issue last week even it took me months to buy that even i discovered that issue around summer 2011. But it looks like i need to wait for my favorite Auntie to buy the Sparkling October 2011 Issue & Popped Too. (While my favorite auntie & i are looking forward for the next Anime Convention to be held at SM Megamall before this year ends!) But i guess the good memories of June 20 is like all of us in the family could have fun out even if the weather is quite unthinkable due to the gray & white rain clouds. I guess the memories of June 20, 2011 remains every time i flipped the pages of the April 2011 issue of Sparkling K-Pop Magazine. Can't wait to have the Sparkling October 2011 issue & Popped Too! 

Rain That Sparkles

I could always remember the rainy day of June 20, 2011, after what happened 5 days ago, last Thursday to be exact, after i bought the April 2011 Double-Cover issue of Sparkling K-Pop Magazine that i've been raving for since summer 2011, i could always remember the day where the magic of shopping began. Maybe it's not just about those iBox colored plastic storage containers that mom kept telling me to be organized or that long, vintage camera necklace mom promised that she will buy that for me, or even the makeup i was raving to have from Maybelline NY. Gosh, i kept remembering that day even it was just a simple family afternoon out at the mall, even the rain started to occur, but what happened last November 17? That's where the sun & the rain collide in the mid-afternoon. Wait up, about the rain of June 20? It's not just about flipping pages of Sparkling K-Pop Magazines past & present issues related to the world of Korean dramas, but after i bought the April 2011 issue, i can't wait to buy the October 2011 issue & hopefully, the past issues even it all began in 2009!

Flipping pages of Sparkling K-Pop Magazine could be great of like re-editing the June 20, 2011 moment without changing the weather since it was a rainy day back then. So, it looks like i need to buy some issues of Sparkling, but first, got to buy the October 2011 double-cover issue. Some issues of Sparkling are double-covered issues, with the coolest K-Pop sensations on both covers, suddenly, i even thought about buying Popped Too, the sequel to Popped which is still related to the world of K-Pop. But somehow, i guess P175 for a copy of Popped Too isn't just enough, maybe along with some copies of Sparkling K-Pop Magazine, life is not just like i could add a K-Pop twist to the events of June 20, 2011 even if i found out for myself that my new K-Drama Guilty Pleasure is Helena's Promise, also known as Scent Of A Woman which is about a woman's fight for life & achieving goals. Even if Helena has a life-threatening disease & she has 6 months to live, she never forgets to do everything to enjoy her life before her life draws to an end. Now, i would love to watch that series, if i was Helena, i would love to live my life, learn lessons from my mistakes, move on with my life & be in the good hands of my family & good friends before i die.

Anyway, i wish i could wear an Adidas-La Salle 2010 Team Hoodie in Green during June 20, 2011 since i found out about my cousin being bound at DLSU for college, but it's ok. The raindrops finally had some sparkle after all.

Kimchi

It all started last night when my little sister bought some take-out Kimchi from Kimchi, a food stall at Landmark after dinner, i guess she got addicted to the famous Korean side dish after she tried it. But my mom & i had a Korean dinner from Kimchi like we had some Beef & Pork BBQ, Soup, Rice, Bean Sprouts & Kimchi by the side, Pepsi was the drink of the moment since my little brother bought that for me & my mom. But the real fun begins when my little sister decided to buy some take-out Kimchi for herself. My little brother & were flabbergasted by the time my little sister bought some take-out Kimchi. But when us 3 siblings are at National Bookstore to buy some notebooks & magazines, that's where it all began. The smell of Kimchi was even brought to NBS while my little sister was checking out what notebook she would buy for herself, but since i haven't found those 2 magazines i would love to buy, i afford instead to buy the April 2011 Double-Cover issue of Sparkling K-Pop Magazine that i was even raving to have since the start of summer 2011. At least even if Sparkling K-Pop Magazine is sold at P150, i would love to buy that & read everything about the world of K-Pop, now, all i need to do is to save up some moolah to buy the October 2011 Double-Cover issue & the sequel to Popped, Popped Too.

After shopping at NBS, us 3 siblings have some cheap yet sweet dessert cravings at a McDonald's booth that sells it's famous desserts like their Sundae Fudge & Sundae Cones, i afford a Strawberry Sundae Cone for myself since it's worth P15. Yup, that was my new cheap dessert thrill after all! But when the 3 of us siblings met up with our parents at Mercury Drug, i was even craving for more desserts like Kit Kat White Chocolate & Chupa Chups Strawberries & Cream. Yes yes, guilty pleasure for sweet cravings even if the smell of Kimchi was strong & my little brother is making jokes out it for my little sister. My little sister was even craving for a Chupa Chups Lollipop, her flavor of choice? Let she decide! My little sister even told my mom last night that i should rather have some plaid tops in my wardrobe! Whoa, talk about a good suggestion to add up in my wardrobe! I know last night for us 3 siblings was crazy after all. But somehow, i was raving to have the Unica Hija Size-L Striped Cardigan in blue/light blue or black/gray, i found some total must-buys during that crazy night for us 3 siblings, maybe it all started on the strong smell of Kimchi.

Book Tales

This lands me back when i was in Freshman Year HS, during the 2nd semester, a classmate of mine which i called Katie talk about a book that she loved to read over & over again during English Class before i become a student of COLF, the book was titled, 'Charlotte's Web'. She talked about the story of the book inside the classroom, with some of us in the class, during recess, but i even found out for myself that she was the first kid in our class who finished reading 'Bridge To Terabithia'. (The shocking part, i haven't finished the book, really!) Katie was the first student of our class who finished Bridge To Terabithia, i guess she got hooked with the book after all, but whenever she talks about the books she reads in the past with my classmates before i joined in to their class, she could always talk about Charlotte's Web, so i become curious about the book if the book Katie talk about during recess is a worth reading, but it was not until last month when i found the book, but all i need to do then is to buy that for myself & read it from the start until the end, maybe whatever Katie said about the book was right after all.

Speaking of books, i was even also thinking about completing the books under the Folger's Shakespeare Library after i bought the book, 'Macbeth' which is a part of the book series which is all about the works of William Shakespeare. So, maybe i should try to buy the other books in that series after all. Should i even have the chance to buy the books that the regular High School kids in COLF read from Freshman Year to Senior Year HS would be a bright idea, but i have The Little Prince which the Freshman Year HS kids read. So, maybe this is the right time to buy 2 iBox plastic storage containers to keep the books i read during the English time with my classmates at COLF & the books the regular High School kids at COLF read. (Then, i'll also buy the books which are somewhat worth it to read like the Popped series, books from Paulo Coehlo & of course, The Twilight Saga in paperback covers), somehow, i always have the bookmarks ready, ready for some reading thrill. But it looks like i will have a library full of the books i read from the past to the present, there's a little library for me after all.

Ryuki's Mirrors Are Everywhere

Even on the first time i watched KR Ryuki on TV back then, some of my classmates at COLF & i got instantly hooked on that series during the time when i was in Freshman Year HS, at the start of the 2nd semester, i was called Ren in class since even if he's my crush in that series due to his bad boy looks with an interesting personality, my classmate who i called her Shuichi calls me Ren often. During recess, our teacher assistant even talked about KR Black since that was his favorite KR series then, while we talk about KR Ryuki, nah, it's just a KR-related conversation in class while recess anyway. But the crazy part, is whenever we see a mirror at the school's premises. That was the gateway to a different world known as Mirror World. I could even goof around to Shuichi when we are the Ladies CR, that's what i get from knowing the story of KR Ryuki after all. But in Sophomore Year HS, KR Ryuki was re-aired, i got the chance to watch the 3 episodes i missed out due to my Freshman Year HS schedule back in 2004. Coincidentally, it was aired in November, November 2004 in November 2005? I guess so.

During a Field Trip at Farmer's Plaza, that was around January 2006 after i watched the last episode of The Gransazers, our class had a field trip at Farmer's Plaza for some fun & games, first stop, a toy store! We would do is to unleash our inner artist by creating some arts & crafts. I decided to go on a glass art-like decal. But good thing, some of us in the class decide to go window-shopping for toys, that's where i stumble upon those uber-cool KR Ryuki SD Figures that i might think it's a coin bank of sorts due to it's size, but since i'm called Ren in class, i found the one in KR Dark Knight. It was even included in the list of my must-buys for the whole year of 2006 back then. Maybe if it wasn't for those crazy jokes from acting like the main KR Ryuki heroes whenever Shuichi & i see a mirror, even my tall classmate who i call Shinji could even think that Shuichi & i are 2 crazy girls in school acting like superheroes, even the main KR Ryuki hero tandem is Shinji & Ren. Haha, that was also the same thing when we could act like Max & Danny of PR Wild Force or the Thunder Brothers, Blake & Hunter of PR Ninja Storm also back in Freshman Year HS.

Oh great, those good times during my re-booted High School life, maybe watching KR Ryuki was an exciting KR series i have watched for the past decade, but at least, what's behind the mirror is a mysterious world where there are Riders who are chosen to save 2 worlds. Welcome to the world of KR Ryuki.

Scrapbook Memories

Back on the time when i was in Sophomore Year HS, all of us in the class began to create a scrapbook using unused folders & oslo paper, it wasn't a hard time for me to raid the photo box inside the storage room just to get some pics, creating a scrapbook was a fun time for us, during that time after all. I had my scrapbook created with cute decals & Anime stickers. Yup, that was those times after all. I even remember back in Freshman Year HS, during a Christmas party with my classmates & teachers, i received a photo album during the exchange gift. Not that bad after all, it can become a makeshift scrapbook after all. I even remember the crazy times in Sophomore Year HS where i could try to learn photography like Makoto Soromachi of The Gransazers, a freelance photographer with a heroic identity. Yup, i even attend photo class then where i learned the basics of photography. Now, i could even think of having a Fuji Instax Mini 7S Camera in Chocolate! Why? So i can continue filling up the pages of my scrapbook after all. I just miss the crazy times of Sophomore Year HS where i learned the basics of photography.

Oh great, i even remember the crazy times back also during my Sophomore Year HS life, i even want to buy a camera that has the Disney princesses on it, not bad for a girly camera after all so i can get the real lowdown on photography after all. Maybe i don't just collect photo albums, photos, scrapbooks, scrapbook materials, decorations & tools & 1-2 cameras (Digital, instamatic or instant) after all, i was even raving for the photo boxes since i found that on the pages of the December 2005 issue of Candy magazine. Just to store all of my photography & scrapbook thrills. Yup, all of that scrapbook & photography thrills that i learned in Sophomore Year HS will be all in a photo box. So, if i have the time to put some photos in a photo album or continue filling up the pages of my scrapbook, it will be ok if it's just 1 reach of a photo box after all. But it should be large since i have a lot to fill up like photos, scrapbook materials, scrapbook decorations, scrapbook tools, scrapbook decals, a scrapbook & photo albums. Somehow, life's best events is seen in a photograph, but the truth is, memories never fade after all.

Heroes Of Nostalgia

It's not a surprise then, but it looks like it's indeed true that i got started to remember those times that when i was a kid, i used to watch these uber-cool Super Sentai shows & the first 3 teams of the Power Rangers back in the mid to late 90's. The truth is, i suddenly have those flashbacks of myself when i was a kid, watching them kicking some serious enemy butt. Maybe the only thing i remember right now is about the first time i watched Turbo Rangers back maybe around 1995 or 1996. The weird part, did i watched the 3rd episode? That could be after i watched that again before the end of the 90's. But right now, i decided to play the opening theme of Kosoku Sentai Turborangers on YT since Friday & i feel like there are some nostalgic that came back into me after that. So i decided to watch more Super Sentai opening themes on YT from the 90's to the next generation that kicked off in the past decade. But somehow, trying to watch those Super Sentai openings from the past to the present could be worth of a nostalgic eye candy & ear candy after all.

Aside from the opening themes, i got the chance to watch the transformation scenes, whoa, totally eye candy! I even remember the time back in 2009, during the first half of 2009, i still don't have a YT account back then (i opened my YT channel around October 2009), i would upload that on my Multiply site back in the day, from several Super Sentai, Ryukendo & Power Rangers transformation scenes to some Ateneo-related video clips. But now, when i just have a YT channel, i just could put that in my favorites & my playlists after all. Back in the time when Friendster was the popular social networking site before Facebook took over it, i could rather watch out for some comments that has some Toku-related pics, mostly on Super Sentai & Kamen Rider to be posted on my Friendster comments, i could rather save the pics. There was even back in the time that i could search some of the Super Sentai tittles in my Crunchyroll account. (The only Super Sentai series i watched on CR during the past decade turned out to be Gekiranger after all!) But never mind, i remember the time Kim introduced me to the world of Gekiranger after all.

Anyway, time to turn on my nostalgia mode since i need to watch out for more some Super Sentai openings & transformation clips on YT after all.

Lessons Of Being Organized

Mom told us an unexpected happening last night, as she woke up in an early morning when she discovered that there was a centipede that is crawling on the bed where my mom & i sleeps! Yikes! But i didn't have any idea about that since yes, i'm asleep! So i guess that was the main key for me to learn a lesson in life related to the world of being organized. So, she told me last night that i need to save up some moolah & the next time that all of us in the family will go to the malls & shop for what we need, i should not forget to buy those iBox Plastic Storage Containers along with the stuff that i need to buy according to my shopping list. In other words, according to mom, don't just focus on buying magazines, accessories, clothes, school supplies & food, don't forget to buy some plastic storage containers, to keep everything organized. Just as how many times my mom could tell me about being organized. But if it wasn't for the day on where it all began, June 20, 2011, i didn't even know about planning to buy those colorful iBox plastic storage containers in different sizes. That's where it all began.

Incidentally, i remember the time when i was in Freshman Year HS, all of us in class made some decorated boxes using cardboard boxes in different shapes & some materials could be used on decorating. My creativity was put to the test back then due to that i was watching too much PR Wild Force back then. But somehow, most of my works were very good, even my classmates were jealous of my works since i'm the creative geek of the class! But on the tail-end of my Sophomore Year HS experience, before summer entered the scene, i was the one who brought home most of the decorated boxes i did when i was in Freshman Year HS. (As of that time, i'm using all of the decorated boxes that i brought home as to keep all of my trinkets & souvenirs) But now, after all of those times my mom told me to be organized, i'll save up the right amount of moolah to buy not just what i want, but also i have to buy those iBox plastic storage containers in different colors & sizes, just as what i need to keep all of my stuff & make the room clean, neat & organized, so i won't give mom a pain in the head. But thanks mom for the reminder last night.

Now, i guess i don't just shop for what i want, i will also buy those colorful iBox plastic storage containers in different sizes so i can keep my stuff in a neat way! Thanks for the reminder, mom!

It's A Super Sentai Opening Theme Treat!

It all started last night, when i got the chance to watch some Super Sentai opening themes which are worth to be eye-candy & ear-candy. I just remember the times that i could beg my favorite auntie to buy me those Super Sentai DVD's in Quiapo back in summer of 2010, as of the past decade, my favorite Super Sentai series are Abaranger, Dekaranger, Magiranger, Boukenger, Gekiranger, Go-Onger, Shinkenger, Goseiger & Gokaiger. But i need to watch first the 7 Super Sentai series which were released in the past decade, but the truth is, it's going to be a scramble of what i should watch! But the good part is, i put the opening clips of Magiranger & Boukenger on my YT channel so i can watch it if i have some time. I even found out for myself that my Korean FB friend, Jessica is a fan of Magiranger, she even plans to cosplay as Magipink if given the chance. But i found for myself one unexpected thought from last year, about the hairdo do that i donned, i found out for myself that i donned a short, thin & layered hairdo which is inspired from Inou Masumi! Like i donned his cute short bob! (Whoa!) But never mind, although it's a far cry from the hairdo that i want to don.

So i started to think about telling my favorite auntie about those Super Sentai DVD's, maybe i could tell her about that when we're going to an Anime convention at SM Megamall. The truth is, my favorite auntie & i could talk about everything related to the world of the Japanese, the Koreans & the Chinese/Taiwanese. Even while heading all the way to SM Megamall, while eating lunch on any restaurant or on the Anime convention itself. I even want to give my favorite auntie an Anime or Toku-inspired makeover that she needs. Just because she looks like some of my favorite Japanese superheroes i guess. (Now i finally knew it from the past decade!) But somehow, our routine goes first at Toy Kingdom, buying some Toku toys from the Anime section of TK that sells the coolest Toku toys. Some Toku toys are also trapped in Capsule Toys in the row of Capsule Toys Vending Machines near to the entrance of TK-SM Megamall. Then, lunch, we could decide on what resto or fast food we could go for a lunch treat, we don't want to go to the events hungry. (Tokyo Tokyo, Kimchi, Jollibee, you got it!) Then, it's time to attend to the Anime convention at SM Megamall! Shop, meet friends, have fun & in the end, time to cap that off with some light shopping & a bowl of Tutti Frutti Frozen Yoghurt.

That's the routine when my favorite auntie & i would do when we're at SM Megamall for the coolest Anime conventions. But somehow, i wish i could beg my favorite auntie to buy me my favorite Super Sentai DVD's like it's summer 2010 all over again.

Stepping Inside A Japanese Store

It all began last night, when my dad & i stepped inside Japan Home Center in Trinoma, it looks like we have just arrived in Japan. It's been a long time since the last time i go window-shopping for stuff there. But it looks like i found a few stuff, aside from the important ones i would love to buy when there's a family mall gimick. Like i was quite confused on buying the perfect eyelash curler, if it's either the classy one or the cute mini one which is colored in pink. I was even thinking about buying the brown-colored vintage aviators which i also found there. It looks like the pricey counterparts, but on a reasonable price, stylish sunnies on a rock-bottom price, nice one. But there is also another one, which turned out to be those colored crystal decals which can turn boring things into colorful things. It looks like i need to buy 2 packs each, the pink & the clear crystals & the designed ones. So maybe, the next time i go shopping at Trinoma with my family, i would rather never forget the time that i need to go shopping at either or both Japan Home Center & Saizen, they sell the coolest goodies on reasonable prices!

As of this moment, i started to list down what should i buy on JHC the next time my dad & i will go there. Maybe i bought more stuff more than he does, but i was only after the cute stuff from the stationery, beauty & toys sections. I suddenly found out for myself that December is just around the corner & i nearly forgot to buy the important must-buys aside from the ones which i newly listed it down on my shopping list. But somehow, if i bought those 3 stuff that i just found last night, it will be worth it, how about more than 3? It will be A-Ok after all, Like what i usually thought about, i wish our family mall gimick day for the month of November will be quite a far cry combining all of what happened last June 20, July 10, August 21, September 6 & October 16 of this year, but the question is when will be the date, anyway? Well, only time will tell after all. But it would be better if i bought all of the important must-buys according to my shopping list along with the ones that i found at Japan Home Center & Saizen. It would be fun if that happened, all i need to do is to keep my fingers crossed.

Somehow, i'll keep that in mind that i'll tell dad to drop by at Japan Home Center & Saizen inside True Value, we might find a bunch of must-buys not just for ourselves, but also for the home, to make mom's life better.
