What is the last "good" thing you ate?

A bowl of tomato ramen topped with cheese, basil and garlic.... Oh so good!

*****
I arrived in Miyazaki last night. I was welcomed with that cold, chilly feeling. That familiar emptiness and sadness is back. The only thing that keeps me from falling apart is its familiarity. After a year of struggle, finding ways to survive, getting to know people, hurting and finding comfort from people who care, I am well on my way for Year 2 in Miyazaki.

I unpacked my stuff as soon as I got up from bed at around 11am. I didn't really have a lot of things to take out but it was still messy and all over the place.
I thought of eating tomato ramen but since it was raining, I really didn't have energy to go and hop on the train. So, after a bit of contemplating, I decided to go out and update my passbooks, buy some paperbags for the little gifts I had brought for my friends and grabbed a tuna sandwich and coffee latte at Mister Donut.

My Japanese friends invited me to visit Florante Miyazaki and apparently, tonight was also the last night of its Illumination. How lucky could I get! I met their friend, M, who actually had the tickets so we could come in for free. While in the car, they gave me some not so interesting news and just shrug my shoulders. The illumination was amazing and romantic at the same time. It was a really good dating place. Ugh. I enjoyed it nonetheless coz I was with friends.
OuterSpaceBrightness. It looks like that year's illumination theme has something to do with the outerspace and aliens. Haha. It was such a great sight to see and a great welcome back experience as well. 

Then, we decided to have tomato ramen for dinner!
TomatoRamenLove. That kind of love that makes you crave for more and more, every day. 

My day came in full circle. From the chilly welcome, to my cozy home, to great friends, to unfinished closure and the satisfied craving for tomato ramen.

Life reminds me that the best way to appreciate and enjoy life itself is to notice the variety of experiences in a day and still be thankful for everything, even the "no closure moments", maybe those kinds of experiences are meant to be that way, a reminder that there are things in this world that is out of our control. With the bowl tomato ramen capping my first night back in Miyazaki.

2018, よろしく お願いします。

    I love how you mentioned the foods you had in there but at the same, it makes me feel sad. Never had a "real" ramen before, only those that I can buy on the sari-sari store. I bet that's a yum, 'coz I even enjoy my Php12.00 ramen from nissin. HAHAHAHA! Those lights, are those in motion? What a display!

    Glad to found your blog. :]

      Hi Leomar! Thanks for visiting my page. Ramen is easy to make but the broth, which is the heart of it all, takes almost for-freaking-ever to make. LOL.

      The lights changes color while on display. For the Christmas tree, I really like the blue lights, that’s why that’s the one I tried to capture. Illumination displays all over Japan has been quite a popular tourist attraction with different themes per Prefecture. In PH, when I visited, I got to see the one in Resorts World and it’s such an eyesore. LOL. Literal na masakit sa mata. HAHAHA. But the ones in Japan are beautifully arranged in such a way that anybody who views it will be amazed.

    Ramdam ko gurl ang drama at emptiness while reading this entry. Wish i could give you a hug. Pero naka survive ka na ng isang taon. Things will get better. As for me, the last good thing I ate was a guy's dick. Hahaha joke! Well, would you believe? Ramen too. Nag dinner kasi ako at yung bestfriend kong mahal na mahal ko secretly (yes, 14 years na M.U.- mag-isang umiibig, lol!) ng ramen. So parang ang sarap sarap ng kinain ko. May bitter after-taste nga lang kasi kasama namin yung fiancée niya. Ang puta ha. Hahaha!

      Magbago ka na kasi. Lumandi ka na sa iba. Kalimutan mo na yang pagnanasa mo sa kanya, ipasa mo sa iba. HAHA. Andami kong sinabi. Nyemas!

      So far, so good! I am trying my best to not have that break down and my friends are also watching over me in some ways coz they seem to always appear at times that I am about to have some or on the verge of breaking down. Galing diba？

      Gusto ko na magka-boyfriend! Padalhan mo nga ko ng yummy Italian sausage! LOL.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
