January has ended once again!


Tomorrow would be February, the next would be March and so on and so forth. The only thing that we can do is to try to live each day as meaningful and as productive that we can be. The good part is that, i am steady in my japanese studies and i feel that i will be able to speak "broken" japanese in 2 more months. My commitment to walk everyday is also paying off. I don't feel as weak as i always do and that is a good thing...at least for me.

DO I GET SLEEP? there are days when i don't and days that i do. Still, i told you before that my body seems to have adjusted to the problem and as long as it holds true, then i won't have any problems. Today my nephew and i walked for 1 and half hours towards the mall on which we indulged ourselves to an eat all you can restaurant. Hold on....then where did that leave all that month long of walking?

Nothing was lost, it was like....uh...a reward for doing something and committing ourselves to a cause. Well, it's not bad to reward yourself every now and then am i right? >_>" well, i guess not but! life is meant to be enjoyed and that is all that matters.

I hope you guys had a fun week and i will resume the anime reviews on my first post for February.

Till then...

Out for a Walk



For the past few days, i committed myself to walking at least 1-2 hours everyday. It feels good and I even managed to drag my nephew into joining this daily routine of mine. At first, i thought that walking alone would not have any effect on my body. I was wrong. It really felt good just taking things in stride helps me keep my mind at ease.

I promised that i would be giving out a recommendation in my next post and now, we will resume my anime recommendations :3

Now, My first anime review for this year would be the ongoing series "Papa no Iu Koto o Kikinasai!" or better known as Listen to Me, Girls. I am your Father.



As of now it only has 2 episodes but, I really am looking forward on watching this series every week. Why? For me the story is all about trials. A family that has experienced something traumatic and is on the verge of being separated from each other.

For me, if that ever happened to me i would had been devastated. Parting with my siblings and living in a new home with relatives that i don't really know would be a scary thought. Although there will be a lot of perverted scenes, which is typical on this genre. I am hoping that the "slice of life" part would make it all worthwhile.

Something that would trigger your emotions to either laugh or cry, is something worth watching. Although i prefer comedy instead of heavy drama, i just can't look away from something that will turn out to be interesting. I have high hopes for this show and maybe, Just maybe i will not be disappointed in my choice of anime for the first quarter of the year.

Frankly, i would like to give you a brief summary of the story but i will not. The first 2 episodes say it all and I will "Let you be the Judge", whether you will find it interesting or not. Different people have different tastes and i won't argue with you if you don't find it to your liking. For now, to everyone that is looking for something interesting then this anime is just the thing for you.

I plan to continue my daily "Walkathon" everyday and hopefully, it will also help keep my blood pumping, my calories burning and if possible....make me feel tired enough to get some good nights rest.

I hope you guys have a great weekend and until next time...

My First Post of the Year




So after all that eating and merry making...a New year is starting once again.
So I am going to list the things that i want to accomplish this year.

1. Master the art of Sleeping
2. Master Verbal Japanese
3. Master Written Japanese
4. Finish all Loose Ends
5. Go to Japan and...start kidnapping artists!!!

lol...well anyways, those are the things that i want to accomplish this year.

I am also changing some of my routines to prepare myself for my upcoming invasion. First of all, i will program myself to rise from bed at 6am in the morning (whether i get some sleep or not). I have to do this in order to be able to do more things as the day go by.

I am someone who wants to pursue my own happiness and i don't want to have any regrets in this lifetime. Fix all loose ends, try to make everyone happy, and do the things that i need to do.

Yes it is not an easy task, things that are far more easier said than done. I know that everyone has their own definition of happiness, i believe that everyone is entitled to have their own happiness and it varies between individuals. I just want my family to be happy and to live comfortable lives.

I pray that this year, we will be happy. We will be Healthy, our bonds stronger and our livelihood brighter. I'll be back to my usual anime recommendations on my next post.




Till then i hope you guys are ready to start this year and never forget...
