Take a wish… | inhaling life, exhaling in words
https://starchedsentences.wordpress.com/2008/09/01/take-a-wish
Inhaling life, exhaling in words. Take a wish…. Of someone else’s, that is) and make it come true. 🙂. Instead of spending on tokens for the guests to their wedding, my brother and his fiancee decided to give their budget for tokens to the Make A Wish Foundation. And helped make the wish of 15-year-old Christian come true (the donation got him his wish of a PS2! Ain’t that cooler than giving away event tokens which more often than not sit around and collect dust? Tags: Make A Wish. Feed for this Entry.

Lipat-bahay from Tokyo to Tsukuba | 再発見の喜び
https://peachmelba.wordpress.com/2010/04/11/lipat-bahay-from-tokyo-to-tsukuba
Saihakken no yorokobi, the joys of rediscovery…. April 11, 2010. Lipat-bahay from Tokyo to Tsukuba. Two days before my move, I was even afraid I will not make it on time to pack everything and that they won’t fit in the two tiny trucks I rented for the move. You see, I have a rather longish semi-double bed that I was not willing to part ways with. I don’t like sleeping on Japanese futtons. Weak back of an ageing. And a thin mattress so close to the floor, a big no way! I am really grateful, thanks guys!

https://peachmelba.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/living-la-vida-loca-en-tsukuba
Saihakken no yorokobi, the joys of rediscovery…. April 20, 2010. Living la vida loca en Tsukuba. I am not so sure, really. I could ascribe it to my finally being free of school and the alternate reality of student life. It could be that I am now feeling relieved at finally being able to live the life of a normal adult with a real job. After all, being a paid student does not really count as a real job, right?

https://peachmelba.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/izakaya-fare
Saihakken no yorokobi, the joys of rediscovery…. March 12, 2010. Word of the day:. This is how the locals here in the Land of the Rising Sun refer to an average Japanese-style bar. You could not really claim to have been in Nihon if you have not at least once had your booze and feasted on 摘み (. With the help of my ever-reliable dictonary, let me break it down for you my dear friends. The kanji for “. 8220;, 居 reads as “. 8221; meaning “to settle”. The next kanji 酒 is for “. 8220; The word “. Forgive me f...

Yvan (Peru) and couple Ingrid and Rodolfo (Chile). And since most of the time that we’re together, our hands are not without a mug of beer or glass of cocktail (. We’ve started calling ourselves the AA-group. LOL! Our drinking sessions are always so much fun, quite different from a typical 飲み会 (nomikai, drinking party) in Japan.

Bub's Black Mountain: November 2005
http://bubsblackmountain.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
This should be a doorway to my collection of pictures, music, videos and other stuff. Dont forget to check out my previous posts. Wednesday, November 16, 2005. No Rest in Los Angeles. And so we, Uncle Momoy and Nor, had brunch at McDonald's. What's special about this place? While waiting for the northbound train, I was surprised to see my niece, whom I haven't seen for centuries. And I'm glad to hear that she's almost finished in her studies in the medical field. For another chance, I met up with my good...
