New Year's Message

I guess this December has been really busy. haha.

I didn't mean to but I guess a lot of ups and downs kept me busy that I haven't been able to post much here.

Almost all of my day offs were spent at the city.

Considering that I only take 1 day off a week for the past months,

I feel like I haven't had a real day off in months as well.

I don't know what to say really right now.

明けましておめでとうございますみんなさん
今年は最高です。
みんなのために
私より良い人間になりたい。
来年も
よろしくお願いします。
毎日、私の幸せはみんなの笑顔です。
みんなのProgressは私のPrideです。

I guess I still have a lot to learn in my own Japanese. haha. sorry for my broken Japanese.

I guess this is my own version of year end message to everyone :) <3

I really wish everyone happiness and progress this year.

I love all of you :) <3

A bit of mess

It's been real busy lately. I feel sad not being able to blog too much lately.

But I guess today is as good as any other right?

I'm a bit dull and a bit sad?

I think some people might even think I'm shallow saying this.

I don't have a room.

I don't live in my own house. I'm living at my relatives house.

Why am I sad?

I don't know what to do with my poster.

hahahahaha. I'm so shallow.

but It somehow makes me sad right now.

I just wanted to share that

sometimes

something so petty can actually upset you sometimes.

忘れられない日

As everybody knows by now, I'm very critical of myself which I think is part of the reason I think I don't have much friends.

I'm trying not to be.

So here is my JUMPaper. (On a completely different platform from the others who made the same)
I started my day kind of late than usual. I mean I normally get up when I wake up at 6 but I kinda fell asleep again. I ended up leaving later than planned. I left at 9. Which I have to say I regret doing so because traffic was not expected. especially here in Cavite.

I was the last to come unfortunately haha. It's embarrassing. I hate being late. side note as to why. I live far away so I take it as a challenge to come earlier than everyone else. so I hate that I failed this time. at an event I don't know anyone. I'm afraid of giving the impression I'm always late because 8/10 times I am always on time or earlier. except on really bad days.

To be honest, I know the venue more than the meeting place so It was kind of a struggle really. I used to live in Mandaluyong but now I feel inadequate being there and getting lost.

At first I was thinking of staying behind because I really didn't know anyone. Just as I was about to go out and like look for something to cool down on because I kinda ran around looking for the meeting spot stupid lost Meiko someone tapped my shoulder and said hi. good work social skills, someone had to talk to you first before you make friends tsk.

I was honestly very nervous because I don't really have friends in the fandom. I don't consider myself to be a die hard fan of HSJ, I just know a lot about them because I've known them for a long time now and I'm the type to like something even without the influence of others. So almost all of the things that interest me right now are things I don't get from others and even if I do get some from others, I seem to like them on my own and I sometimes surpass those that introduce me and stuff.

I was really surprised that people in the fandom are really nice and very different from what I imagined. I kind of have stories that people that usually have parties are usually just friends with one another so I'm really happy that this thought was immediately thrown out of the window.

Like I said, I was really not expecting anything during the party, although I was expecting myself to become a part of the background while I was there. But the atmosphere was so fun I ended up getting more excited than I was thinking I would. I was lip-syncing to almost all of the songs that were playing. I feel kinda bad tho because I don't remember/listen to their old songs soo much. The songs I mostly listen to are only the ones when I started following them again until now so that means recently.

I feel very happy I said yes to Alla when she told me to go. I feel really happy and lucky I got to talk to her. but now that I think about why I message her, I forgot to ask for the hsjxkismyft2 24 hour sp. sorry I don't know their acronym I think I should go and ask her again o.o

I got to join 2 games! The first one I was bad at it, I thought I had confidence but it seems I'm not good at it. Most of the songs that were played were during the time I wasn't too active. I have trouble remembering songs from that time. And the songs that I did know I feel like I was spacing out. That game was really fast you know!

I don't see myself as an expert/otaku when it comes to HSJ, but it seems I am. I won the game for the kind of quiz. There were some questions that I honestly wasn't sure about. cough I might be the last person to ask for rumors Also It's Arioka Daisuke. We were technically correct. To be honest, Okamoto's question was one of those that I was sure about. So I kept looking at the board if I was standing at the wrong place. I wasn't really looking at the board I was only listening I'm a small person sorry. So I'm trying my best not to be guilty I finished the game a bit early. I felt like I was a party pooper. I didn't want to spoil the fun TwT Why didn't anyone join me at D? TwT

I really tried my best to make friends. So whenever I was idle I started talking to those who were near me. So by the end of the event, I think I made a fair amount of friends :)

I was planning on buying uchiwas but I didn't see any Inoo uchiwas. I was thinking of buying Chinen's but I really feel incomplete if I didn't start with Inoo, so I guess maybe next time :) Too bad the only solo posters also didn't have Inoo. I don't know why but the lady selling the goods knew I was an Inoo fan because she started showing me Inoo's shop photos before everything else, she really baited me. I spent almost 1k with the clear file I have been eying this for months and his photos and one group photo from fantastic time favorite single as of now.

I want to thank Daicoke for being there with me the whole day. I felt a bit bad because she has a sissy there and yet she sat next to me the whole day because I had no other friends. I feel very happy and lucky to have met you :)

I got lucky with the exchange gift as well. I don't have a car but I like pillows anyways. Thank you soo much Edeline. She thinks it's not good but I think it was perfect. It even goes well her Ichiban Yuya. He's the only member who has a reputation for driving.

Anyway I forgot to mention at the start of the event there was a registration. I didn't really know what it was for, I was thinking for mementos or something. I'm a scrap planner girl. Who knows if the admins are like that too? It was actually for raffles. I did not expect my lucky stars to bless me yesterday. I got a trading card and the grand prize! A smart poster! I was talking to Jihan how lucky the person who'll get it because I don't see anymore goods other than the t shirt being sold for smart goods. I ended up laughing a lot at how I really didn't expect to get it. I didn't know what else to say after that so I just ended up laughing a lot and talking to others.

I'm awkward so I don't know, I tried to make friends with the only fanboy in the event Keisuke. It's surprising he's also a long time fan now. 2011 or 2010 I think. Makes me wonder if he has other guy friends who also like HSJ, oh these were my thoughts when I was at the event.

I also made friends with Marga. I'm surprised we have the same name. I actually didn't get my goodie envelope at the end of the event because I thought they were calling her. So haha sorry to the admins because I totally didn't know if you were calling me. Other than our names we have a lot similar. Both of our top favorite members are the same, for the 2 groups that we like.

I guess I'm lucky to have this day. A bit unlucky going home, but nothing is going to faze me. I really enjoyed yesterday. This is unexpectedly a novel. aia better finish it now then. hehe. おやすみ。

Tesol

I'm currently doing my TESOL exams.

I feel like I need to finish these quickly.

I don't know maybe a Christmas gift for myself?

I haven't been working on it.

I'm just all work and all play.

No studying.

やばいこれ

Well thankfully, I finished 3.

I'm a bit so so on this.

I think I'm not really doing my best.

I understand the material easily so I'm not doing much effort.

This is one thing I really don't like about myself.

夢か 悪夢か

Something just dawned on me this morning.

Dreams are kind of like hypnotism.

Like even though you know some things are not true

or

impossible to happen in real life

and it happens in your dream,

you still feel like it's real.

It was like a nightmare
now that I think about it.

Suddenly being informed I'd be going to Italy in a few days,

on the day I even planned to go out with a friend of mine even.

It seemed horrible to me. haha.

I kinda hate myself for falling for it.

I woke up not knowing what to do.

Like I thought I was really leaving next week.

ありえないです

絶対ムリ

I was really worried until it dawned on me it was just a dream

A nightmare

haha.

私もダメです

嘘つき?

I'm not fine lately.

I've been thinking about not lying to my students about it.

But somehow I think students might think my health is something trivial they don't want to know about.

I always end up saying I'm fine.

Last night I ended up sleeping for only 3/4 hours.

I don't know what to do with myself.

I hope I can be truly fine. I kinda hate saying I am even though I'm not.

I'm gonna try to sleep early now. Good night

I forgot to post yesterday.

I don't like the fact that lately I've been depending on coffee a bit.

I'm a bit acidic. I have gastric problems and stuff and knowing I drink coffee a lot.

It makes me a bit nervous for my health.

コメントしてください

I just realized something a few days ago.

Japanese people make blogs a bit like this.

I don't know? To make it easier to read? (´−`) ンー

I've been thinking about it? Maybe I should write like this?~ 〈(゜。゜)

If I do I think it would mostly consist of very long blog posts full of weird texts.

I have no way of knowing if this is better. (۶ꈨຶꎁꈨຶ )۶

Is there anyone out there that can react if this is a good idea? I'm a big worrywart!


This might be it for this post now (⌒◇⌒;)

For now, here's a picture of me in Manila last month.

Alone

Somehow I want to say something about myself. I don't think I'll find somekind of love life for the next few years or so. There are people who are courting me and stuff. But I don't think they'll really be able to break my sell or something. I've been thinking about it and somehow I've been showing my bad sides lately to people. I don't want to be viewed as someone who is always nice anymore. I have to be honest and people have been abusing me and been using me because I seldom say no or I always empathise with others and help them out. I've gotten the feeling that when I'm nice people leave me after they are done getting what they want. I can't help but remember some people and I feel like I need to protect myself. I don't think what I'm doing is nice but I don't know who are there for me because of me anymore. I think it would be nice if people spend time with me despite pushing them away. But I guess if people can't take it, I guess I'm better off alone.

unsure Meiko

Today isn't a really good day. There's a bit of a family issue so just when I decided to do some studying I can't actually focus because I'm conscious of the people around me. I just feel sad and frustrated right now. sorry if I can't post something positive today. I hope everyone else is having a good day tho. I hope everyone else has a good day. See you guys :)

Just another filler gomen

I'm seriously missing days now TwT I feel sad I couldn't do the everyday challenge kind of blog again. もう Next month! Really really! I wonder if I should even try to have like Christmas themed posts? I realized I don't have a lot of Halloween themed posts this month. I just wanted to share that that isn't really a big part of the culture in the Philippines. I realize I should have made a culture tag long ago. tsk tsk. I mean there are other things that I posted a long time that have something to do with culture. It didn't come to mind to make one. I don't think I'll be too enthusiastic to go back to old posts tho? I dunno. Well the most halloween themed I can get is another picture from last Tuesday. haha that might be all you can get from me. well for now. I better go and study something じゃね

don't worry ok?

I don't know why, but I've been easy to vomit recently :( I don't want anyone to worry, but It's been happening a lot. Yesterday and today, I've been vomiting for a few. And a few weeks ago as well. I don't know. transparency's sake. I also tend to vomit when I'm happy more than when I'm upset. I'm a weird person. I don't know what to say for now. I'll leave it to this maybe. sorry for not being too informative for today and yesterday. I think I need to do some changes to myself.

子供っぽいじゃない?

Since I missed yesterday and I am kind of bored I was thinking maybe I should make like 2 posts? It's ok right? As much as I hate to admit it I'm turning into an adult who wants to do little girl activities she was never able to do as a kid. Can I be honest? I feel like there were lots of things I wasn't able to do as a kid. I wanted to play certain video games but I didn't have the CDs. I wanted certain toys but my mom never really buys toys for me. It was like a once in a year thing that I have to decide on when I'm on the mall or something. There are places I wanted to go to but I don't think my mom really like travelling too much like how I was always yearning for it since I was young. So I feel like recently I've been gifting myself all of the things I want for myself. Like my headphones, clothes, and all the random trinkets I have. Recently, I've been wanting to buy myself concert goods. I really want to buy some for myself. I feel sad I can't buy the newest concert goods from HSJ concert. I only had money after those pre selling of goods. I feel sad I don't think I'll be able to get the latest good. I wonder what to do? I'll try buying old goods or something. or maybe I'll go buy from the Arashi concert. This time I'll really be able to buy something. I'm not sure tho? I bought the Are You Happy Diary last year because it was functional. I'm not sure but I really want pen lights recently. I wonder if I should buy? I think they're not really functional but I still want them. Maybe because I've been watching so many concert videos lately that I feel like I might be in the concert itself if I watch it with a penlight. I feel childish but I feel really strongly about this. Aia. I feel like I'm going to work a lot just so I can start collecting pen lights. I don't think I'll collect posters too much? Maybe just one or 2 would be good for me o.o I don't know I'll think about it. For now, I'll go and enjoy what I can. じゃ。

I missed a day!

悔しいけど I missed a day. (; ̄Д ̄)I really wanted to complete October with at least one blog post a day. What happened last night? I started watching Code Blue 3. haha. I'm posting this now because I think I might watch again later. hahaha. I was enjoying it so much I slept really late last night. I don't even know how I am keeping myself awake right now. I am a coffee hater but I might just bring myself to drink some later. Who knows? aia. I hope I don't get sleepy after eating lunch. I'm just about to eat. Anyways I'm excited to watch Code Blue again later. I was very happy. Well I've been planning to watch it for a while now and a student of mine mentioned it, so I guess I took it as a sign to really watch it. I don't regret it! haha I just have a hard time watching really. So many medical terms and I have to pause a lot to understand mostly what is happening. I'm amazed that student of mine could follow. haha. it was hard. I'll watch it again later! For now I will eat lunch! haha! See you again tomorrow! :D

Добрый вечер. I told a lot of you guys I'm learning Russian but I don't think I can do more than greet people and make cats to stuff. As much as I hate cats, the first thing most apps teach me is the animal I hate most so I have no choice but make sentences using cats in Russian. haha. I dunno why I felt like sharing right now. I'm sad and I don't want to make anyone else sad so I'll just share something random like this. Oh how did I learn Russian? Mostly from apps. and I have a friend from Kazakhstan. I don't get to talk to him as much as I talk with you guys tho. Most of the time we just greet each other. I don't know how much English he knows really. He doesn't like to tell stories and I don't know if he would understand my stories if I give him some. He's very nice tho. Oh I also have a friend from Azerbaijan but I don't know he doesn't talk to me anymore. He told me he likes me but I think that's just a joke.

I think the reason I can't really immerse myself in Russian is because I don't have a musician other than Чайковски that I listen to or follow. Don't get me wrong I listen to Tchaikovsky ritually. I'm not even sure what their pop music is like. I have been watching a lot of videos about Russia lately tho. I'm watching like those facts and stuff about Russia. I'm not sure I can have my own opinion when faced in a debate but I at least feel better that my opinion of Russia is not clouded by American filter anymore. I'm going to keep this blog short. I still need to work for freelance stuff. Byie

A slight culture lesson?

I feel a bit unsettled and unsatisfied today. I'm not happy with today's performance. I'm a little too critical to myself? I'm not sure. For me it's not a good day. I'm happy to meet people who are very close to me today. I know it's the last day for the holiday and they chose to spend their time to me which makes me really happy. It's just I don't know why but I feel not I'm not being liked or something.

I want to share something. I was talking with a friend of mine and she kind of just switched some gears in my head and I can't help but sharing it here as well. People always say that in order to be happy, you need to stop listening or caring about what other people think about you and live your life like you want it to be. Uhm correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is a bit of a western ideology. She was asking me what I thought about her and our friend's image. Like what image do they give off. I told her that for me there is no malice in whatever they do. They're together as friends and I see nothing more than that. Why do I see them that way? because she told me her feelings about him and I know that is the truth. I would see them as what she says. I know how they look like and I know what kind of vibe they have as friends. Other people misinterpret that but I don't because she told me. I told her that what really matters is what she thinks. OK let me pause at this part.
This, in all honesty, is one of the hardest thing a Filipino person can truly achieve. She even confirmed what I thought by saying It's hard. I, in all honesty, agree with her because I need this advice myself. Without really thinking about it, I told her that there is nothing wrong in saying and thinking that it's hard. It's part of our culture. I told her that our friend isn't really like us because he grew up in South Africa then moved to Russia. He grew up in a place, that unlike us, aren't controlled. I'm not sure if anyone is taking this the wrong way. How do I say controlled? At a young age, our parents and environment tell us to be conscious of our surroundings. I'm not saying that in a positive way. It's our parents who are the ones who made us conscious of how others see us. We're too concerned of what they think that we started even thinking about how other people see us as well. If anyone wants to confront me about this please do so but I really believe that not everything our parents do, even if they think it's for the best, is not for our sake. They might even be doing it unconsciously but it's still their actions. I want to explain myself more but I think I've had enough of this topic for a little bit. I'll try to be ok tomorrow. It's a day off anyways. See you guys later.

I'm hoping to be able to teach a lot of kids :) I'm kinda nervous to be honest but I am also excited. haha see! I made 2 stars rather than just one. I might even make more. haha who knows? Also.

2019 Japanese trip might become a reality?

I'm writing this and I'm not even sure if everyone knows but I like Arashi very much and even especially Hey Say Jump lately. I didn't even realize that this year is Hey Say Jump's 10th anniversary. I've been randomly telling students I want to go to Japan at 2019, but now I'm really considering whether or not to go by then. I see myself in this scenario by that time, I'm either here as a teacher still, or I might be in a different country teaching. I'm not sure who but I remember telling one student I want to teach in either Japan, Kazakhstan or even at Italy. So yeah. Why do I want to be at Japan on 2019? Arashi's 20th Anniversary. I dunno if I'll be able to get tickets tho? From what I heard you need to live in Japan to be able to get tickets to go there. haha. Forget Olympics, I don't think I'll be able to get some to watch something as trivial as a Japanese concert.I kinda want to say I'm learning Japanese because of something as trivial as bands. I don't want to make it too complex anymore. I mean I haven't been updated, it's only recently I knew that Hey Say Jump is getting more and more famous lately. Even their stuff is kinda expensive. I also kinda decided late to buy, the pre orders of buying their stuff is done now. haha. so nevermind. Since I'm bored I decided to show you guys the only fan girl item I have right now. At least I can use it right?


PS: It seems I can't take the JLPT exam this December, I didn't know the registration is only until August 29. haha If I've know I would have submitted but it seems it's not meant to be yet. I'll try next year :) By then I'll be really ready. Maybe this is even the world's way of telling me to focus on TESOL. I dunno? Hopefully not. I miss learning Japanese with my friends. I'll go bother them now. See you! :D
