Recently, I've been writing a lot in my diary, and I thought "Hey, I gotta blog. It's kinda my diary too, but what's the difference?". Oh, I thought of the answer just now. My blog is here, in the internet, for everyone to see, while my diary is just at home, where only the sneakiest can see. Well, that's the obvious difference, right? Lol. I thought of some more things:
1. In my blog, I write about happier stuff. In my diary, I write about the saddest and most depressing stuff on Earth. Okay, so basically, my diary is my tension regulator or something, and my blog is my excitement regulator. Lol.
2. When I write in my blog, I try to avoid mentioning names when I'm giving bad comments. On the other hand, I criticize people in my diary. I write their names. Lol. (It's some kind of a curse book, don't you think?)
3. My blog is in English. My diary is in 日本語 (actually my diary is a mix of Japanese, Chinese, English and Filipino, but it's mostly Japanese). I want people to read my blog, but not my diary. Never my diary.
4. My most fragile moments are in my diary. I don't want other people to be sucked into so much drama. It's so psychotic and chaotic. Lol.
So basically, my diary is black and white and my blog is colorful. I mean that! Literally and figuratively (well, I am trying to add color to my diary by writing using colorful inks)! Eh, I'm like Schizophrenic or something. Lol.
Err, I gotta go somewhere now. Well, that's that. Later.

Tajima-sensei's birthday was last friday. I didn't blog on that day because I was too exhausted and I was hoping that people would send me more photos. Lol. Yesterday, I was in Trinoma so I wasn't able to blog yesterday.
Last friday, I didn't attend my morning Japanese classes (2 classes~!) because I had to go to UP's CS (University of the Philippines, College of Science). I am an incoming freshman so I had to register and enroll. The registration and enrollment was not at complicated as I thought. I even met new people. I also saw new faces (which had potential, if you know what I mean. LOOOOL!).
After the registration, I returned home to eat lunch. (Ah~ Curry Rice heaven. Haha.) I went to the Asian Center after lunch. I attended my afternoon class, which was Tajima-sensei's class. After class, there was a celebration. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Hehe. I have a few (I MEAN REALLY FEW) photos from last friday. I was hoping that some people would send me photos, but they didn't. Oh well, that's okay. I mean, I probably look totally unglam in those photos. Hahaha. So, here are the pics!:
I wasn't in this photo. Haha. Tajima-sensei isn't in this photo too. She was beside me, taking photos too.
I'll keep it small because I look so fugly here (If you don't know what fugly is, watch "Mean Girls"!) Haha.
...and the best photo~

The photo is cute!! Everyone is here! (L-R) Hirayama-sensei, Tajima-sensei, Fujimori-sensei, and all seven of us. How cute! (Okay, I know I have a disgustingly fat face. Hahaha. Nyaaaa~ Chibi face. It's like my kinder photo. Haha.)
You can tell (by looking at the photo) that we had fun. Hehe. Well, they are really happy people. It's nice to be around them. :)
Okay, back at home.. err. No comment.
Ya~ I gotta go oh oh.

Well, I've been feeling blah for a few days now. I feel as if I'm so jinxed or something. I'm trying to be in the bubbly and cheery mood, but hey, that's not so easy to do when you don't have any help. Anyway, I'm going back to my usual self, bit by bit. What I mean is, I'm forgetting things that should be forgotten, stuff like that.
Blah. Blah. Blah. Cut the crap.
I'm getting really cheered up when I see how happy my fingers look. Haha. It's sounds a bit weird but my fingers seem to be happy. Well, last friday, one of my nail chips freaking fell off. It was an emergency since my nails "fell off". It's so gross to hear, but it's really just a nail chip and not the actual nail.
I took photos of my nails but I used the camera of my mobile phone (it's not the best camera, so sorry about the resolution).
(Thanks again Dashing Diva!)
It's hot hot hot red with with white polka dots. I had it French-tipped and I had glittery red hearts stuck to the corner of each of my nails. It's pretty much like Minnie Mouse (although, she's not my favorite).
Well, that's one of the few amusing things that I have now. It's just so disappointing that it's gonna be removed a week from now (you know, pretty nails have life spans). Well, tomorrow my nails will be officially one week old. That's half of the nail art life span. Haha.
Ah~ I'm still attending Japanese class. It's gonna be until the 30th so I'll be busy until then. When June starts, I might even learn how to drive, how exciting (*with the ultimately sarcastic facial expression*). I really get tense and stressed a lot, so don't wonder why I don't want to drive. Actually, it's not that I don't want to, I just don't want to die in a car accident. It's like a really ugly way to die. Your body will be distorted or whatever. I'm not gorgeous so I'm treasuring each drop of prettiness that I have (it's so few, I need to save up).
Yes, it's true. My self-esteem is going down the drain. Lol. I'm not so pretty, not so smart, and my family says that I'm a spoiled brat. I might even be rotten spoiled, so it means that I don't do anything productive. I'm so useless, tell me about it. Anyway, who cares? It's not as if someone will spend time finding my good points. Ah~ I don't care. Haha.
Dare to judge me? Whatever do your thing. I'm impermeable. Lol.
Anyway, I'm drained. Catch you later.

(Get over your bluest days! Read on!)
Well, these days I feel like a jinx. A lot of things are going on and I am so damn confused. To tell you the truth, I don't really know whether I am heartbroken, scared or just plain paranoid. All I know is that I am sad, and it's so difficult to admit. I know, for those people that have been around me for quite a while, that it's hard to believe because I always seem so crazy and happy, but hey, everyone is vulnerable. I may seem like I'm this super strong person but unfortunately, I found someone who made me extremely vulnerable.
Enough of my rubbish!
For those people who are feeling blue these days, whatever your reasons are, you should know that everyone deserves cheering up. Here are some things that I've already tried (and have worked.. so far):
1. Sing your heart out. Yes, this is an old trick but it really works for me. It's even okay to sing sad songs! Don't contain your emotions. Release them and you'll feel better. If your shy because you think you don't sing so well, then just don't sing too loud, or try humming. If you really can't sing, then just try playing an instrument. Music is a good emotional outlet. It will make you feel more relaxed.
2. Tears are healthy. Nothing's wrong with crying. In fact, it's really good for the body. It helps release tension. I know most people don't want to show their soft side. If you are one of those people, then watch a movie or an episode of a drama series. When someone asks you why you are crying, just say that it's a show that made you cry (I know it's bad to lie, but this is YOUR choice). If you suddenly reminisced in a place with no TV, then I also have some tips for you. If you are teary in a car, try to move your eyes near the air conditioner, it will dry your tears (tried and tested!). If you are just sitting close to someone, do a fake yawn and pretend to be sleepy (you know how some people get really teary when they yawn / feel sleepy). You could also just close your eyes for a few minutes, pretend that you are sleeping, "wake up" and wipe your eyes like you usually do when you wake up in the morning.
3. Keep a journal. Keep a blog or a diary (notebook type). Writing on it regularly will help you release your negative emotions. If you suddenly cry while writing, so be it, who cares? If you want to put a lock or make your journal private, it's your call. When I kept a diary before, I wrote my deepest feelings, and when I read it after some time, I felt really embarrassed, but I think that's normal.
4. Learn something new. Find something that you think is really interesting. For example, right now, I am attending Japanese classes. I enjoy learning languages so this is what's good for me. It all depends on your interests. You can learn how to bike, build a radio-controlled monster truck, do a handstand, and so on. This will help divert your attention.
5. Look good to feel good. Self-esteem is very important when you are in a fragile stage. Try to dress your best and go to a public place. Getting noticed and receiving compliments once in a while can help boost your self-esteem, but don't absorb it too much or you'll end up being egoistic or narcissistic. For the ladies, put on some make up. Glam yourself up, but don't put on too much because you might feel worse after receiving negative attention. For the gents, shave and try to look extremely clean. Put on some perfume and comb your hair well. You might even attract fan girls this way. Anyway, just try to look especially great. This way, even the people around you can help you by cheering you up through nice words and sweet glances.
If you are heartbroken, you might even consider trying to...
6. Keep a pet. Taking care of a pet can help you release the "love energy" that was refused by the one you like. This way, you will feel more appreciated (especially when your pet responds by cuddling, etc.). Make your pets feel loved, and you will be loved in return. Even if your pet is not the person whom you want to love you, it still loves you and tries to make you happy. AT LEAST IT TRIES TO RECIPROCATE. (okay, I sound terribly bitter but whatever)
These are some of the things that might help you overcome your loneliness. If you want to suggest, you can comment (if you're a VOX member) or email me at ai.ni.qiaokeli@gmail.com (if you are not). I can't guarantee that all of these work but these really worked for me. Everything depends on you now.
Good luck with everything!
You deserve the "cheering up"!
See ya~

Before talking about my real pet peeve. I'm gonna let you meet my pets first.
Well, I had my pets since the 15th. If you read "OH MY GOSH! I LOOK LIKE... whatever!" then you probably know how much I wanted pets. Anyway, I went to the Bioresearch store in SM Megamall. I wanted a pair Abyssinian cavies but there was none. I just got American cavies, which are cute too. Lol. BTW, cavies are also known as guinea pigs (I read about this somewhere). The names of my pets are 健太郎 (Kentarou) and 夏子 (Natsuko). They are so adorable. They are getting really fat because they love eating.
These are the both of them, cuddling! They are just 3 months old (according to the pet shop helper). They really like staying close to one another.
This is Kentarou. He is the "big boy". He is really fat. Well, this picture was taken on the 16th. He is not this skinny anymore. Lol.
This is Natsuko. At first, she was really shy. She ran away and hid behind Kentarou whenever someone approaches, but now I think she is comfortable in her new home. Lol.
So those are my cute pets.
...and now for my pet peeve.
Last Monday, I started attending the Beginner's Short Intensive course at the University of the Philippines' Asian Center. I already know how to write Kana (syllabic Japanese scripts; refers to both Hiragana and Katakana) and some Kanji (Chinese characters used by the Japanese), but I started from the very beginning because I want more details about the really basic stuff. Lol.
Anyway, during our breaks, we can do whatever we like. Some go to the toilet, others go out to eat, and some just stay inside (perhaps because our room was air-conditioned and it was sizzling hot outside -- think of a 35°C temperature). There are only 7 of us in that class and unfortunately, someone got on my nerves. I was really irritated. I was annoyed when someone played loud Japanese songs and sang even louder. Japanese songs are good but I don't like it when someone sings out loud... like REALLY loud. I was a meter away. That's what made it worse. I could hear it loud and clear. My other classmates and I were talking and we could not even hear each other. That's how loud it was. I wouldn't disclose the name of the person because I don't want to ridicule him. I'm just expressing my annoyance. This person seems to be an Otaku. Otakus are those who love anime, manga, video games, and the like. They love those SO MUCH and it seems like their worlds revolve around those. I think Otakus are not really bad people because when I watched Densha Otoko the Otaku lead saved the lady. Lol. Anyway, I'm not sure if the person that I'm talking about is really an Otaku, but if he is, maybe the Otakus in Akihabara would denounce him. Lol. It's fine if he wants to sing Japanese songs, specifically anime themes, but he should be sensitive because:
1. There are people around him.
2. WE WERE IN A CLOSED ROOM.
3. He does not sing well. (I'm being polite.. if you know what I mean)
That guy even SCREAMED when he played rock songs. That really annoyed me. The healthiness of our learning environment is slowly deteriorating because of that. He did this a lot of times. NOT JUST ONE SONG. Come on, playing really loud music in such a small space is annoying as it is. Why should he add to our misery by singing and screaming loudly? What a pain~!
Anyway, I don't want to add a lot of details. I want to prevent my evil tongue fingers.

A few days ago, I went to the JJ mode. It's the website of this really fabulous Japanese magazine, JJ. So anyway, I browsed the stuff there and I saw an accessory brand called KOBE Vingtaine. I browsed through their stuff and I was really excited when I saw heart-shaped things (I think I've already mentioned that I like heart). The last entry was a pink gold heart necklace with pink rhinestones. YOU MUST CLICK THE LINK! It's so cute!! (remember, I am biased because I love hearts!)
I suddenly remembered something! When people ask me what I want I usually say nothing or if ever I say something, it's not so affordable. So now, for those people who are asking, I want KOBE Vingtaine stuff! Their stuff are not really expensive. OH! My debutante ball is in 8 months. Christmas is in 8 months too!! I blogged about this so that I won't forget to say "KOBE Vingtaine stuff" when people ask me about presents! Lol.
Honestly, I wanted a heart necklace from someone special, like a bf or something, but since I don't have that, then I'll just wait until someone (whoever it is) to give me KV stuff for Christmas or something. LOOOOL.
I'm totally hyper.
I heart HEARTS!
BTW, if you're gonna go to my debutante ball and you have a budget, KV stuff will be just fine. I mean TOTALLY FINE, but you have to tell me which stuff first! Unless it's the necklace on the linked page.
I didn't want to buy it online because:
1. I haven't tried purchasing anything online.
2. I don't know if they can deliver it here.
3. I want it to have the ULTIMATE sentimental value, if you know what I mean. Lol.
So anyway, that's it. I just got super excited because I already know (exactly) what I want.
I wish there was a KOBE Vingtaine store here.

p.s.
Chopard is ok as a present. Definitely ok. LOL.
This style is like... 2 years old already, but I don't mind. It's definitely pretty. I just don't know if they still sell it.
I was supposed to blog about this yesterday, but then I suddenly got disconnected and I was a bit sleepy so I didn't do it.
ANYWAY...
Yesterday, My mom, brother and I went to Makati City. My brother proctored for an exam in my dad's class (my dad is out of town and he's only gonna be returning today). My mom and I just stayed at Glorietta. I even bought new nail chips. Lol. We waited for my brother to finish so after going to Glorietta, we went to Arts of Asia. It's an Asian antique store and you can only enter by appointment. LOOOL.
Well, my mom likes Asian antique and you can see that in our house:
See?! What did I just tell you? Hahaha.
After that, we had dinner at Greenbelt. We ate at a Japanese Restaurant called Sugi. The place is great. The food is great too! (you know, I am biased about everything East Asian.. especially Japanese!)
Are you getting hungry? Lol.
Here's a photo of my mom and Tita Edna (Happy Birthday!):
...and my proctor brother:
Sugi is a nice place. I give it 4.5 out of 5 hearts. (Loool. I like hearts more than stars)
If you like Japanese food, you should check it out. :)
Anyway, this Japanese talk makes me want to show off my girly Pocari Sweat ad!
PRESENTING the girly side of Pocari Sweat...
The newest member of the Pocari Sweat family (WTH! HAHAHA!)..
Missy's FINGERNAILS (and other stuff)!! Lol.
Okay, I think this Pocari Sweat ad should close this entry!
(Dear Pocari Sweat people,
If you want my fingernails to be in the girly Pocari Sweat ad. Tell me. HAHAHA!)

Thank you Dashing Diva for my Bollywood Tailor Fit nails!
