My work is killing me.. I don’t have enough sleeps these past few days. Ever since I started to do this ‘weekly reports thing’ I only have 3 to 4 hours of sleep, and to think SLEEPING is my life! hah! I’m dying to hear about the updates on my New Zealand job application, and start a new career and a new life there! Well, I’m expecting for my Aunt’s help for this New Zealand short vacation in several months from now. I love this place along with Japan and Korea, and so I just couldn’t wait for this meaningful time of my life. I’m really excited since the time I got this great news and I just can’t wait to step my feet in the streets of Auckland and Wellington. Of course I will not fail to take a stop-off at Auckland Harbour Bridge, Hagley Park, Auckland War Memorial Museum, the Ascott Metropolis and other Auckland Hotels around the area, and Civic Square Wellington. I actually still have a lot of places in my list that I must layover or even just take some photos of it like the Mt. Cook and Mount Victoria wherein the movie – The Lord of the Rings shot few scenes here.
Summer is best in New Zealand.. I think so as New Zealand beaches is one of the best in the world. Taking a splash in their crystal clear water beaches or just having picnic basket or hiking in the Cathedral Cove 
is great idea to treat and pamper myself for being so exhausted and bushed in my work. I swear that I felt so wiped-out and I’m dying to have some spa and massage treats right in my room in one of the Wellington Hotels or Christchurch Hotels.

I’m so excited for tomorrow’s family trip. Yup! we’re going to have a day and hopefully a night trip as well at Lake Agco in Kidapawan City. It’s my cousins birthday tomorrow and we’re going to celebrate it in Lake Agco since my Tita and her kids went all the way from Manila to here in Mindanao. She hasn’t been here for years already and she really misses a lot the fresh environment of our farm in Kidapawan 
.
Though I’m feeling a lot of excitement now, but i felt uneasy as well ‘coz I still haven’t ask permission from my boss that i’ll be absent tomorrow… uurrgghh… Ate Lea’s officially on her resignation now and I’m so dead tied-up with this “secretary thing”. Nobody can access emails except for the two of us… considering that I already have 3 absences last week so it’s so displeasing if I’m gonna be absent AGAIN huuhuhuhu… Hopefully there’s no predicaments for tomorrow so GSD will just take my one-day absent fairly fine.. hehehehhe..

I don’t know why I would always love to go to Japan. When was a kid, my dream places were America, Spain, Switzerland, etc, etc. But during my college days, I’ve always wanted to go these places.. Japan, New Zealand, and S. Korea (Jeju Island). Anyways, I really admire how Japanese made their country such a great country considering from their history – the bombing in Hiroshima. Well, it has greatly affected their lives, they really had their worst times, but now…you can really see the good transformation of Japan. They are actually, one of the best when it comes to technology, Japan made gadgets could not get behind from those of American and European gadgets. I just hope one day that I would be able to go there, and hopefully marry my ultimate crush Mr. Hideo! Bwahaha!! Anyway, once everything are all prepared and I’m on my way to the country of my Sweetie =)
Actually, I already do have my list of activities…duh! First thing’s first, I will go on night shopping in street bargains.. well my friend Harlie said it’s really a lot more cheaper than those in the malls, and then I will really ride in the Bullet Train; then the roller coaster ride that harlie told me also; then the amazingly beautiful hot springs there; and of course the climb for Mt. Fuji! Wow!!! I bet Jo Anna would really die to go with me hahaha, but I think she just wants to go to Japan for just a vacation as she’s planning to migrate in the States. Her fiancé already gave her list of choices as to where she’s going to stay for good. She’s choosing between Long beach and Hawaii. There are few properties she’s aiming to have at, these were Hawaii real estate ; Maui real estate ; Kauai real estate. Well, I think it’s a good choice to acquire such investments.

Places all over the world have its own beauty of nature… and surely you’re going to have a lot of fun.
Traveling all over the world is what I’ve been looking forward most. Countries such as Japan, Australia, and UAE are some of the places where I have close friends. But there are several places that I’m wanting to explore someday but such places seem to be so foreign to me.. if ever I’ll be there, everything will be a complete strange. But even if I don’t have friends to such particular places, I always see to it that I’m taking reviews from from the website of http://www.easytobook.com/. Barcelona hotels, Prague hotels, and Rome hotels seem to be so lovely… I’m having a hard which one to choose to stay at

Way back before when I was still on my secondary schooling during our social studies subject, I was always amazed on how rich our country when it comes to raw materials and different food products, may it be crops and even manpower. It became a question to me as I grow older as to where are these products go and how come we still belong to a third world country when in fact we almost have everything that any country would want.
As we look today to what is happening to our country, the answer is basically in front of us. Philippines is always part of any international news and it is all about the corruption and power ———— of the people who are in the government. We can actually see rallies everyday and in every part of the country… total manipulation of those who are in power and the increasing number of poverty and chaos everywhere… It is not supposed to be like this! If only the wealth of our country is properly managed by the people in charge of it then we should really lead a good country. Can u just imagine even Japan, China, Korea and many other country in Asia acquires their raw material in the Philippines, like rice, banana, coconut and a lot more. It is a very thing that many Filipinos were also forced to work outside the Philippines in order to have a stable life for their families. why? because primarily our government cannot accommodate all of these people, there is always shortage of work opportunities here.. it really pisses me off when I start to think about what happened to my country, I love this place and I want this and I’m sure all Filipinos also want that our country would somehow prosper because with all of its nature, crops and everything ————— surely I can say that God gave us a beautiful place and it is supposedly up to us to nourish it.

The surfacing of Valentines Day in Korea and Japan emerged through the credits of various marketing strategies. In most countries, the men are usually give gifts to the ladies, like for instance or the most common thing given are chocolates and flowers to their girlfriends or lovers. But in Korea and Japan have quite a different practice huh?! As the day on, women are the ones giving candy to the men they like. And guess what’s more?!? Women who particularly works in the offices makes it up an obligation rather than voluntary to give chocolates to all of their male officemates. (Geezzz!! what if you’re the only girl in your company?!? don’t you think it’s so unfair and such a great disaster in your finances??!!) This kind of chocolate in Japan is known as giri-choco, came from Japanese words giri which means obligation, and choco which obviously stands for chocolate. Don’t worry girls, there is a day (to get even hehehe) that they will return the favor on you – it is called the “White Day”. Held every 14th day of March wherein men are supposed to return the favor by giving something to those who gave them chocolates on Valentines Day. However, most men only give present to their girlfriends. Actually, this so-called “return gift” is supposed to be white chocolate or marshmallows, thus in commemoration for the name itself “White Day” but maybe because of the modern age, men have taken the name to a different meaning and the common gift are given these days are lingerie. In Korea, there is an added event aside from White Day – the Black Day. Held every 14th day of April, this is the occasion for all the men who receive nothing on Valentines Day. They all gather together, and eat Jajangmyun, a Chinese style noodles in black sauce. (hhmm I love Jajangmyun..yummy!)
“Businessmen are indeed so, so, clever… why? They made-up all these occasions for their gain. Inventing Valentines Day, and then White Day… and then Black Day! oh c’mon! So now, speculate no more as to why we have Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Teacher’s Day, Grandparents’ Day, and so on.. blah..blah.. blah… I will not be surprise anymore if there will come a time to have occasions such as Pet’s Day, Nanny’s Day, Best friend’s Day, etc.”

A surprising expectation for China by the year 2015 as they hold the most promising emergence in the market of luxury goods. With their annual double-digit growth in sales they can even surpass the US luxury goods consumption. Japan holds the title of World’s Largest Purchaser of Luxury Goods, and China got the third spot but having a 12% of global sales it is undoubtedly foreseen that can get along with Japan’s spot. Attributable to this economic feat of China are the Chinese yuppies who take part a significant role in market demands… they are buying everything, from imported/hot cars, expensive watches, luxurious accessories to recognized luxury brand of clothing and skin care products. Imagine! 22% of Chinese consumers own a Rolex watch with an average price of $2,253.00 per watch. (Whew! it’s almost a hundred thousand in Philippine peso!)
The face of Asian concept is pride and dignity, and one factor to boost your status symbol is to show off – being wealthy and powerful, that’s the reason why Chinese consumers are investing so much in luxury goods… wanting to buy classy brands to define their identities. And with the sudden economic freedom of China, rich capitalists are so eager to make a mark on the social standing.
Anyway, I don’t know if the following places in US such as Arizona homes, Brooklyn, and phoenix are in support of luxury goods, but for their real estate relocation kindly click on the link below:

Shiatsu is a Japanese massage technique that combines aspect of Chinese acupuncture and philosophy with body massage. I’m not really sure about the benefits and difference of other kinds of massage such as Thai and Swedish massage but what I’m certain about Shiatsu is that it will restore or maintain the proper flow and balance of vital energy in our body. Of all the types of massage, Shiatsu is my most preferred one and if I were to recommend a massage, of course this is the one I would suggest because unlike any other ordinary or shall I say normal whole-body massage, Shiatsu focuses on specific points, which are similar to the acupoints of acupuncture… and I can really feel the recovery deep inside me.. and I would never give-p my time to a spa and have a relaxing massage. I think I’m getting addicted to massage therapy now and I can say or if I may call this a vice of mine that I cannot avoid… then this is it! It is indeed my weakness! I noticed that my body is really longing to have a massage once or twice a month. I have tried seven of these massage services here in Davao: Asian Massage, Hair Zone Massage Spa, Blind Massage (I’m not sure what’s their name), Body Excellence, Spa 101, Touch N Heal and Body Bliss. Although Touch N Heal’s massage techniques are good enough plus they have excellent place and setting I still have my most preferred one – The Bodyexcellence. Though their setting is not as good as Touch N Heal’s or like that of in Hair Zone, their beads don’t even have holes (hahaha!). but still the way of their massage is what I’m after of. They actually do Shiatsu massage just like in others but I don’t know why only in Bodyexcellence I don’t feel any tickles hahaha. Hhhmm I just hope that I will feel better everyday and achieve healthier body since I’m having Shiatsu massage every month.
