BEAUTY AND DEVELOPMENT

I believe that for the sake of the development of ones country..
we don't have to sacrifice the beauty of our nature..
we can still protect it from harm and abuse..






Mountains in autumn time is amazing..I really love it..
These were taken while I was in the car..
I like the way Japanese protecting the beauty of their nature..

BORING

have you ever felt this kind of feeling??

SPRING TIME TRIP

It is now autumn and winter is coming..i already miss spring..I really love spring as well as flowers..
Because in spring time you can see beautiful flowers everywhere here in Japan..its like the country shines with the different colors..it makes me relax and see things so bright..





I`m living in state of Mie here and i have aunt in Fukui..last spring time she invited me to come over her place..and as i traveled ..i saw some beautiful spots while i was in the train..

My digital camera wasnt that good but i think beautiful spot like this is enough

This was a four hour travel..I didnt ride a bullet train because it is so expensive for me so i just took a limited express train that stops only in a few stations..






Japan is trying to protect their mountains and the natural beauty of their country..As far as i know there is no illegal logging thats happen here..but im not really sure of that..





I arrived in Fukui in the afternoon..and my aunt didnt give me a rest..She took me in this tourist spot (she said) where there is a beautiful block of stones..I dont know what they called it but in person it is really amazing how those water mold that stone like that..(LOL)






I was on the camera trying to capture their resting time with a beautiful view..







These are just the few sets of food that you can see in Japanese Restaurant..They look delicious, arent they?






On my second day in her place..she took me to this Tulip festival..
Because Japanese also known as creator of the famous cartoon characters..they made this out of flowers..







There she is..the Tulip mascot..Like her!










is this really true? yeah it is..it may look like a plastic but that was real..i saw that with my four eyes..







well..that is my first time to go in that flower festival..and it was so great!









if you are stress..just look in the flowing river and let your burden be flow by the water..
I had a nice trip .After 3 days I went back home..
If you have any comments or request just write here..if you wanna see something about japan you can tell me and maybe i can show it to you..

STRUGGLES WITH ONDOY AFTERMATH

Storm ondoy did hit in the Philippines on September 26, 2009
it is the worst flooding of the country in more than four decades.

Filipino struggles with Ondoy storm didnt stop when it left..
the hunger increases more..
the homeless increases more..
and poverty is everywhere..

This is the time we can show our sympathy and service to our people..
they need us and we need each others hands..

LONELIEST PEOPLE IN EARTH

It was said in Grey`s Anatomy TV series that the loneliest people in earth came from the hospitals. I guess it is true.

I was felt the saddest time of my life three times at the hospital. You can see the pains..there are people dying..and fighting for their life. I was`nt felt really like physical pain like the other patients but the pain came from deep down that i don't know exactly where it was.

I lost three of the most important persons in my life in the hospital.

First..when my father died with undefined disease and when he`s already gone that's the only time there is a diagnosis..they called it leptospirosis.

Second..when i delivered my first baby girl premature. The doctor said though she was premature she`s way healthy just like a normal baby. But the next thing i heard she`s dead with heart problems. She did not even be able to feel the warm of my arms even for a second nor to see her dad because he`s out in the country.

Third..when i was pregnant with my first baby boy. He was four months then in my womb when the doctor said there was an anomaly on his brain-development and i should have to choose between let him live inside of me for another five months and he dies or let him be out in me now and he dies. Being a mother and having to lose a child for a second time it is hard as anyone can imagine. But i should choose. I chose to lose him earlier than five months after than to wait till the day i already cant bear to lose him.

Maybe that is why there`s a lot of people who are really scared in the hospital thing. Because its about having your love ones back or losing them forever.

BLUE DAY

everybody has blue days

these are miserable days when you feel lousy

grumpy

lonely

and utterly exhausted

days when you feel small and insignificant

when everything seems just out of reach

you cant rise to the occasion

just getting started seems impossible

On blue days you can become paranoid that everyone is out to get you
(This is not always such a bad thing)

you feel frustrated and anxious

which can induce a nail-biting frenzy

that can escalate into a triple-chocolate-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye

on blue days you feel like you`re floating in an ocean of sadness

you`re about to burst into tears at any moment and you dont even know why

ultimately you feel like you`re wandering through life without purpose

you`re not sure how much longer you can hang on

and you feel like shouting "will someone please shoot me!"

it doent take much to bring on a blue day

you might just wake up not feeling or looking your best

find some new wrinkles

put on a little weight

or get a huge pimple on your nose

you could forget your date`s name

or have an embarrassing photograph published

you might get dumped, divorce or fired

make a fool yourself in public

be afflicted with a demeaning nickname

or just have a plain old bad-hair day

maybe work is a pain in the butt

you`re under major pressure to fill someone else`s shoes

your boss is picking on you

and everyone in the office is driving you crazy

you might have a splitting headache

or a slipped disk

bad breath

a toothache

chronic gas

dry lips

or a nasty ingrown toenail

whatever the reason, you`re convinced that someone up there doesn`t like you

oh what to do?..what to do......????

well..if you`re like most people..you`ll hide behind a flimsy belief
that everything will sort itself out

then you`ll spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder..
waiting for everything to go wrong all over again

all the while becoming crusty and cynical

or a pathetic sniveling victim

until you get so depressed that you lie down and beg the earth to swallow you up

or even worse become addicted to Billy Joel songs

this is crazy..because you`re only young once

and you`re never old twice

who knows what fantastic things are in store just around the corner

after all..the world is full of amazing discoveries

things you cant imagine now

there are delicious..happy sniffs

and scrumptious snacks to share

hey..you might end up fabulously rich

or even become a huge superstar..one day..

sounds good..does`nt it?

but wait..there` more..

there are handstands

and games to play

and yoga

and karaoke

and wild..crazy..bohemian dancing

but best of all..there`s romance

which means long dreamy stares

whispering sweet nothings

cuddles

smooches

more smooches

and even more smooches

a frisky love bite or two

and then..well..anything goes

so how can you find that blissful
just sliding into a hot bubble bath kind of feeling?

its easy

first..stop slinking away from all those nagging issues..
its time to face the music

now just relax..take some deep breath..
(in through the nose and out through the mouth)
try to meditate if you can

or go for a walk to clear your head

accept the fact that you`ll　have to let go of some emotional baggage

try seeing things from a different perspective

maybe you`re actually the one at fault..if that`s the case..
be big enough to say you`re sorry
(its never too late to do this)

if someone else is doing the wrong thing..stand up tall and say..
"that`s not right and i wont stand for it!"
its okay to be forceful

its rarely okay to blow raspberries

BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE

but do`nt lose the ability to laugh at yourself

this is a lot easier when you associate with positive people

live everyday as if it were your last..because one day it will be

don`t be afraid to bite off more than you can chew

take big risks

never hang back..get out there and go for it

after all..isn`t that what life is all about?

..I THINK SO TOO..

FACE IT

(taken last April 6, 2009..i was lost somewhere in Toba Japan and as i walked back to train station i saw a beautiful fountain that is like a parent together with their kid)

..when i was a kid i wanted the days would be faster so i will become adult soon and if that so i can decide on things i wanted..
..when i was a kid i wished my parents would just leave me alone if i don't wanna go to bed early..
..when i was a kid i hoped i am an adult that can go wherever i wanted and buy things i really adore..

..but..

..now that i am an adult i realized one thing..

..ADULTHOOD IS RESPONSIBILITIES..

..I'm on my own now..
..No Parents who would tell me what i have to do and fix things for me if i cant..
..Now i can sleep as late as i can..
..Now i can go wherever i want and can buy things without asking my parents approval..

..but..

..there are times i feel i wanna come back to the times my parents telling me most of the things i have to do everyday..
..there are times i wanna go to bed early but i cant because of responsibilities i am having now..
..in times of nightmare or toothache in the middle of the night there is no parents is going to wake up...no parents is going to hear my cries and give comforts till i fell asleep..

..now that we already adult we wish that every time we are in trouble there are still parents who can tell what we have to do and if we are doing things wrong..
..now that we are adult we cannot just cry if we want something..
..we already have to make a concrete action..
..make our own decisions..
..play with our own problems..
..and carry the things that our parents is carrying for us before ..
..that is being adult-responsibilities..
