I didn't realize how abrupt I just left a few days ago. Well I didn't get to share a few days ago that I was going out of town for a bit just 4 days supposed to be but I ended up having more days off than planned. So yeah. Let me just share. I was out of town for a few days and I was in my hometown :) Sorry I didn't get to say properly to some that I'll be gone for a bit owo While we were there we were mostly resting and studying both Russian and Italian. I realized I've been saying I'm understand Italian a lot, but I'm kinda shy and not confident about my Italian so I decided to re learn the language. Anyways here's a pic of me, my sister and my cousins at the church before the mass on Christmas day. I didn't really expect to go to church but then hey, We're at the Philippines, so might as well.


So yeah. I was supposed to be back working today but I ended up not working because my sister and I had to go to the mall and buy our aunt a gift. I mean for the whole year we were depending on her a lot so yeah here.


We made joke presents so that she wouldn't expect too much but we actually gave her a waffle maker and a mug :) My sister also told me to take the other days off as well. But I decided to at least have a few lessons here and there tomorrow since I won't be too busy anymore. I think I need to get back to my routine. I have to adjust my sleep again owo hopefully after the new year :) so yeah. I just decided to show you guys a few pictures of how my holiday went :) I hope I can see you guys again soon :D

I'm not sure if I've told anyone but I really love Star Trek reboot. I don't think I can watch the original series yet. I don't want to compare the original one from this one, and I guess it's from my generation and I guess it was made so people like me who are from this generation to love the classic series. As in I think this might be my most favorite movie series now. I'll try to list the reasons as to why it is so.

The first thing I love about Star Trek is that it shows cultural diversity. United Federation of the Planets. Don't you just love the idea of all special co habituating and having one council representing them? I honestly love ASEAN. I mean, I always think of South East Asia as a place where there are countries with groups of islands. So guess what? Those group of islands didn't care and just made an association representing all of them despite having big cultural differences within their countries and outside their archipelagos. I think it's really amazing that in Star Trek all the members of the Federation are walking around each other's planets co habituating without discrimination nor prejudices. I want our world to be like that. Isn't it making anyone jealous that the main protagonists have deep dependency between each other and they aren't from the same planet. Oh yeah. The best reason to love the Enterprise crew? There's a Scottish engineer, a Japanese helmsman, a Russian navigator, Vulcan-Human first officer. So yeah basically I love all of them but I listed the first three people I love the most. Most of the crew might be human, but there are others who are not really named but everyone in the Enterprise respect each other despite their race and cultural differences. What keeps them together? Their love for space.

Another thing I loved about Star Trek is that because of it I really took the time to understand air force ranks because of it. Well I want to share that I learned military ranks because of Full Metal Alchemist but air force and military ranks are different. Well yeah military ranks are important, but I can't see much about military ranks but politics and power houses. I love air force ranks maybe because the Enterprise crew don't really try to advance and leave their crew. It's especially clear in the third movie where Jim was offered Vice Admiral position in Yorktown and he chooses instead to still be Enterprise's Captain where he can be himself with his crew. And the time where Jim and Spock were practically separated in the second movie because he was demoted and put in another crew. He proposed a mission after a certain incident not sure if anyone would be interested and I'll spoil them and he still choses his crew to be with in that mission. He treats his crew as family and is distraught whenever he sees something bad happens to his crew mates. It might not be expressive but his actions show all of his love for his crew. And everyone loves him back. Nyota practically traps herself with Krall trusting that Jim will save her and the other members of the crew. They don't have second doubts. Although Krall is right that the crew's love for each other is also their weakness. Spock was mortally wounded yet Bones wouldn't leave him to be on his own. Another instance is when Krall was about to kill Hikaru and they gave what Krall wanted because they didn't want Hikaru to die. They're actually family more than a crew now at I think about it.

Another thing I love about Star Trek is that it is infinite. Star Trek actually opened my eyes to the different kinds of time travel. I understood the different kinds of time travel. Here in Star Trek, they believe that space time continuum is altered when you time travel. Meaning you are living another life when you time travel. This reboot series is actually another time dimension from the originals which is why I don't want to watch the originals. This series is now different from the last. It might have similarities, but the life they are living is different from the last which is why Admiral Spock does not interfere as much as possible with the lives of the current Enterprise crew. He knows how his life plays out but the lives of the current Jim and Spock is different from him and his friend Jim from his time. Want proof? I only know a few things about the original series so there are only a few ok? Jim's father is dead. In the original series, Spock said that Jim's dad lived to see him become a captain. Spock also says that in the original timeline, Jim's inspiration to join the Starfleet was because of his father unlike in the alternate timeline where he only joined because of a dare. Another difference is that the planet Vulcan is diminished to nothing in this timeline. Ok last difference is in the second movie where Jim dies instead of Spock dying. It was Spock doing everything he can to avenge Jim and along the way finding a way to revive Jim.

I can list lots of more things about why I love this series but I think I kinda forgot some of them. I'll list more when I can think about it :) Anyways this post was supposed to be posted in my other blog but I decided to post it here as well in hopes there would be some interested in the series as well. It's really amazing and I wanted to let you guys know what kind of person I am and the things that interest me. Anyways that's pretty much it about this post. This is long anyways owo.

bonus gifs of the lovely crew. I made these gifs

I've been saying lately that I'm gonna start learning Italian next year. But if I'm going to be honest, I want to learn Russian more than Italian right now. I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with figure skating but I want to learn Russian. Like for real. I wanna know what Russian is like. I honestly have a friend who knows Russian so it would be awesome because I'd have someone I can actually talk to in that language and I really wanna know their culture. I've been saying a lot how much I love culture and how I want to know about other people's culture. Russians have this weird stereotype on them that they are scary and buff and that they sound like Klingon Mila Kunis said someone told her she sounded like Klingon. But I realize I don't want to judge them based on how American media has judged them. I want to know them for who they really are and how they think. I've said to some of my students and I wanted to share them with you guys as well if I have already said this to you or you know this you are awesome.

For me speaking in another language is like seeing the world in a different perspective. I mean for every language there are different ways to express ourselves. Like English itself has many different dialects. There's American English, British English, Australian English I'll use just these 3 first as my basis for example. The way they express one word can be different. Giving an example

American (& Canada) English: Apartment
British English: Flat
Australia (& New Zealand) English: Unit

I did not expect to add Canada and New Zealand but it was written there and I feel like it's good to add more info :)) Anyways, see how they are only pertaining to one thing yet they each expressed themselves differently? How much more if the language is completely different from what you know? Do they see the same things you do? Do they have a word for this feeling? Is there a way to describe what I am seeing. Those kinds of thoughts are what feeling linguist people like me have. So yeah I just wanted you guys to know :) I hope I can also inspire you to think that way and not just think of learning a language as a chore. We are lucky that we have a universal language. But I think having different languages and cultures are what makes all of us unique and beautiful. I hope I see you guys at class :)

I just found this on tumblr and here I am close to tears at their story. I just wanted to share this and hope that there aren't any people who are homophobic here :"| I just wanted to share this article because I have something to say about the LGBTQIA that I'm not sure everyone understands.

I just wanted to share that there are times that I read articles about the LGBTQIA and I realize that there are some that refer to themselves as they rather than he or she because of gender fluidity. I found this very fascinating and I wanted to share it with everyone. I'm not going to confuse everyone and explain what this is but some people do not necessarily group themselves as female or male and they use the pronoun they to refer to themselves. I can't necessarily say that a lot of people use this because not everyone is aware.

ーメイコ

PS: I don't want to claim I know everything there is about the LGBTQIA community.
GIF isn't mine

aia. I haven't been blogging lately. And I feel like there are lots of things to blog! Well I'll try to cut them by pieces and tell whichever comes first. So I just wanted to say that for a few days now I've been planning to watch NigeHaji because a student of mine recommended it and I accidentally watched a video of people doing the 恋いダンス. So I'm currently very curious and I want to try it too! Is it really very famous? Please tell me! hahaha.

hmm. What else is there? hmm. I'll be travelling to my hometown for Christmas! So I'll be gone from December 23 to December 26. Oh and I'll make another blog post about what happened last Sunday :)

I don't know what to expect these next few days because I kinda have a bad news affecting me lately. I hope it doesn't show too much during class so I'm saying sorry ahead. I'll still try my best to be lively :)

I'm thinking about buying lots of toys. haha. I just wanted to share that sometimes kids have lessons with me but aren't really interested in class. I had a student last night who I think didn't want to talk to me last night. So I ended up showing him my pet toy and that got him talking. Maybe I need more toys. I was thinking maybe kids will like it if we kinda have role play between toys? I mean I just thought of it last night so back me up on this. Well, I think kids have it rough and I know that some of them do not really want to or are forced to learn things they don't want to. So I was thinking maybe I should make it interesting for this kid? And I feel like my theory is correct because another person actually thinks the same and applied it to an institution. I really feel like English shouldn't be a めんどくさい thing for kids. I know the importance of english because I, myself, use it better than any of the other languages I know. But if I have other opinions I'd better keep that to myself :)) For now I think supporting my students and being what I am is best for my students. I just wanted to share as well that if I was given an opportunity to teach at that school I would because I think that institution would be the real definition of catering to student's needs :)


Can you imagine what kind of future children can have if they can start choosing at a young age? I would just like to share that at a young age I didn't know what I wanted to be because there are soo many things in school that I can be and I don't know which I'm really good at. I wasn't until I was working did I realize what I really wanted to be. I have to be honest that when I say I want to be a teacher in the future. It was never "I always wanted to be a teacher". I only discovered how much I wanted to be when I was actually doing it. I only landed this job because I was doing jobs a teacher can do and my previous company gave me the opportunity to be a teacher for real and it was amazing how much I came and loved being a teacher. I did not expect that I would be here almost one year and still be teaching. I'm in a different company, yet here I am doing what I love doing. I'll do my best to stay here. :)

Another day well spent :) A few days ago I was joking I should change my job title as Meiko the story reader. Now it's totally different and I love it I'm gonna be a big ball of motivation for my students. Haha. I really love it when students are more than eager to learn. I mean learning it is good, but when they question you for better ways or when they themselves seek out the hows and whys it's very exciting for me. I feel like I want to support them the most :D I can't believe how cheezy I was as well a while ago. I even feel like I made one of those motivational quotes you find in pintrest. If I have time, I'll turn it into one out of boredom. I dunno. haha. I feel really happy meeting all of my students today, even the kids :) I just wanted to share that I always make it a point to ask my students if they enjoyed during feedback because I think them enjoying the language more than learning it is important for me. I feel like some students are pressured. I wish they aren't. I wish they would sit back more and enjoy the language. Maybe I should make it know to my students ne? I'll talk to them about it. Anyways here's the cheezy line I said to one of my students.

The best way to learn a language is to embrace it.

For that moment you are a member of the world that speaks that language.

You may not realize it, but

You are part of both those worlds.

Good morning.

I want to apologize to my to my students today I'm not feeling very well. I'm sorry if you don't get the best Meiko today. I didn't know I was sick until last night. sorry

I watched the news from here and I'm not sure if I'm correct but it says both Hanyu Yuzuru and Uno Shoma can do quad loops right? I'm confused because no one at the GPF was talking about Uno Shoma being able to do quad loops but here in the news they say he can? Is my source wrong? orz

After months of not watching this here I am again sharing 和楽器バンド. Enka is really amazing. I can't help but not be amazed by this. What is up with me? I started Russian a few days ago but because of GPF, youtube is showing me all of the Japanese people and songs I really like. and here Wagakki bando pops out from under. I have no regrets tho. Their vibrating voices really amaze me. So not sharing this is a sin. haha. Anyways I think I'm in a slump -_- I need to stop procrastinating orz.

Disclaimer I said I won't post in Japanese anymore but give me just this once? C'mon! It's 2/3 from Team Japan :)))

I almost forgot that it's the Free Skate today and I can't believe it! YES!


bb Shoma won bronze! ネータンチェンと宇野 昌磨すごくいいじゃん！#teamsQUAD ugh I love them. I mean they are soo amazing! They are 5th and 4th place during the short program then they transcended to 2nd and 3rd respectively! It's soo amazing! Haha to my student's today this is why I was kinda happy and giddy today :)) I have to be honest tho at first it was just Shoma Uno I was following. Now I feel like I'm gonna follow Nathan Chen now. I can't believe that they just started joining the GPF. It's Nathan Chen's first year and Shoma's 2nd year. And amazingly Shoma's 2nd year as bronze medalist. I can't say I'm not a Yuzuru Hanyu fan. I have been since 2014 Me and my amazement of Sochi. I just haven't been very vocal about it before because there are lots of Yuzuru fans and If I'm going to be honest I kinda hate being part of bandwagons. So yeah here I am 2 years after admiring him. But I kinda have my sights set more on Shoma now. He's a total cutie pie. haha Sorry. I'm having too much fun. Anyways I just wanted to inform everyone that I won't have classes on Sunday next week because I'll go to a birthday party ok? :) after that day I'll be wholly yours :)) See you! :D

Hi. I'm kind of in a pinch right now. It's exam week next week and here I am being frantic about the Ice Skating Grand Prix Finals orz I mean it only happened this morning! Phlippine time and I can't help but be excited about the results of the short programs! I feel like everyone was soo nervous! or maybe most of them have somekind of hidden injury that we don't know about. I mean this is the real deal. They must have been working themselves too much and you can see on their performances that they did cleaner jobs on their craft before this. I wish they'd rest more rather than practice themselves to death today. They have this day off. I hope that they will rest today out. Oh here's the performance of my favorite skater. I love him to death right now. especially his free skate song. that song is my mantra right now


Sorry for not focusing on my own school. orz I promise I will study. Maybe I was just really tired from work yesterday too. It was really busy. I mean it was Thursday so I didn't expect there would be lots of students that day but there were. I was kinda expecting I'd be killing time yesterday left and right but one after another students have been booking my classes and it ended up with me only having 3 open classes! wow Thank you very much everyone! I just wanted to say that it was a real pleasure meeting everybody! I am happiest when I meet new students and make them happy. Anyways everyone should have noticed I don't have open classes today because I had to join a seminar this morning. I did go to the seminar but I ended up sleeping the rest of the day when I should have used my time today to study for preliminary exams next week. I promise to study tonight orz I'm sorry. With that said I'll start ok? I'll see you guys tomorrow! If you guys want to see me tomorrow that is. Bye! :D

Don't get me wrong. I'm on a roll and I'm happy with classes. I just hate how Facebook sometimes throw things like these at my face and just ruin me sometimes. I just wanted to share that yeah there are times that it's ok to be sad and post it online but sometimes people who want to get better and see stuff like this are kind of destroying sometimes. This is one of the reasons why I hate Facebook. They post unnecessary things like these and make some people feel unhealthy about themselves. Did I really just generalize myself?

Yabai. I got something new I'm addicted to now. It's been years since I last part of a bandwagon. I'm disappointed in myself *facepalm*

As far as I remember I tell my students that I love science articles right? Here is one I wanted to share with everyone! It is really beautiful and I think it would be very healthy for everyone don't you think? :)

PS: I only just thought of this article sharing tag when I saw this post. It's really impossible for me to not share this :D I might add my thoughts more on other articles that I might share next time but for now I just really want to appreciate this. Think of the possibilities with me in class if you want :D

Hi. I decided to write fully in english for this blog. I was looking back at my previous blogs and most of them had Japanese expressions on them. hmm. I just wanted to share how my first 2 days were :)

The first day was awesome. I didn't expect it but I encountered a lot of new students for my first day as well. I really like helping new students navigate their way through either the site or english itself. It's a really special feeling when you know that you are the first person who helps them learn something new :) Although the most they learned is how to introduce themselves. But what better way to learn something but through the basics right? :)

I feel really happy that there are also elder students here :D I honestly I prefer talking to elder students. I just couldn't write it on my description page. But I really wish I can meet some more of them.

I just wanted to share that I was supposed to work for 6 hours today but I felt really sleepy after 3 hours. So I just decided to cancel the next 3 hours. hehe. I'm sorry. That won't happen again. I can't extend my lesson time to this afternoon though. I need to study for my exam tomorrow. Although it's for tomorrow, it's still better to study in advance right? and I allowed myself to work for 9 hours on Wednesday so is that good enough? I wish I can work for 9 hours on Friday as well but I don't know yet if I can so I didn't plot a schedule yet. You guys will know because I'll plot it and you'll see :) Anyways. I better go. I need to study now :) See you guys later :D

Oh and here's a picture of what should have been my picture. I still feel dumb for opening my mouth TwT This is where I'll always be teaching now :D

It's officially here.

I dunno what else to say. I promised you guys I'll show you when it gets published and here it is. I am face palming myself for this very embarrassing picture though. I can't believe out of all the pictures they can choose from they picked the most embarrassing one. so I'm really sorry if it's too weird and you don't want to see me. hahahaha even I can't stand that picture it's too embarrassing. Anyways. That might be all I have to say. It's super rainy and I'm sleepy. Good night my dear students. I miss you. I'm just gonna leave this embarassing picture of me.

Oh glob. I just realized I showed you guys I changed schools but i didn't talk about what course I have in university. My major now is in Communications. Yikes. Sorry. I chose this because I think this can actually help me more in teaching everyone :D And I feel like I can be more versatile in this field. So I hope everyone would still support me? :) Oh yeah I also wanted to let everyone know I applied somewhere else and there is a possibility I would stay there instead. I mean there are requirements that I still don't know how I can give them. But I think I'll be there. Again I'll tell you guys where I'll be when I finally have a running profile I can show you guys. And I'm also still mentally preparing myself that I'm really leaving my first job. Although I'm still going to be in the same field. it still feels unreal. oh yeah here's a picture of me during the interview a few days ago. It was when I got Harimaron. haha. Anyways I just wanted to let you guys know. :) Fat Meiko



I just wanted to share a lesson I learned during class a few days ago. There are 4 kinds of communication namely: interpersonal communication, group communication, organizational communication, and mass communication.
Interpersonal communication is done by 2 people where whatever is being conveyed is private.
Group communication happens when there are 3 to 10 people involved in the conversation.
Organizational communication happens when there are devices needed to keep the communication flow between participants of the communication.
Lastly, mass communication is the one we call public communication where the speaker conducts the communication process with an audience.
The difference of Mass Communication from other communication though is that the possible feedback from the listeners would be limited, most feedback would be non verbal and a yes or no question from the speaker. We could say that there is little to no interaction from speaker and listener. Most of the communication process is done by the speaker.
It's kinda personal on the next paragraph so it's up to you guys if you still want to read.

So are you guys asking why I had a small lecture before starting this blog? Well, I've been thinking. Maybe the reason I choose Mass Communication is that it prevents me from having interpersonal relationship. I dunno I feel really weird and scared now of having to be close with anyone. Someone pointed out that I'm Clingy. I have no choice but to believe him because he's right. I'm soo attached to people when they let me and I feel lonely and so alone now that I am in an environment where I know nobody and the ones I left behind, I cannot connect with again. I've been soo used to companionship that it's making me feel lonely. I've been thinking, part of the reason why I might want to be in front of a mass rather than just a person is that I can still keep my distance. I'm afraid of leaving and being left behind.

やばい　I'm such a child again. I ended up eating at mcdonalds today because I wanted to have this guy.


Yeah that's right. I got myself harimaron. oh yeah. he's so adorable. Anyways. I just wanted to let you guys know that I can't stay at ぐんぐん anymore and I'm going on an interview today. I'm really sorry. I really wanted to stay. But I don't know if I can keep up with some of their new policies. I'm just a student. So anyways. Wish me luck? I'm kinda wishing some of you guys are also enrolled there. I'll reveal where I will be if I got in ok? besides. If this doesn't work out, I'll try going back to ぐんぐん again. たぶん。You guys who read here would be the first to know. haha. I'll still try my best to get in tho. Who knows? maybe a new environment is healthy too? And you guys can catch me more here. haha. I promise I'll let you guys know. じゃ

More so there will be no love for Nicole

Hi. Sorry I haven't been posting. I was really busy. I really missed blogging too. I just wanted to share that I've been a pokémon fan for a really long time. I mean I've been playing pokémon as a kid and have been playing it again as a college student. And today I wanna talk about what's been bothering me

I have been having an on and off internal struggle about wanting to play Pokémon GO. I've known about the game since about a year ago and I've been wanting to play it since. A few days ago I was called a fraud because I have been having an internal struggle about wanting to play it. And guess what? The same person who called me a fraud is annoyed at the very reason why I was having second thoughts about playing the game itself.

You see I have this eternal hate for Bandwagon. I've always hated it. I always make it a point to not like famous stuff or not like stuff just because they're famous. And it made me soo mad that I was thinking Pokémon GO would cause a big bandwagon. and to my utter disappointment it did. Wait. Hold up. I feel like I need to express myself further here. It's not the bandwagon itself that pisses me off. It's the people who are joining the bandwagon and the people who are hating on the people who are joining the bandwagon.

Ok so let me explain something first. I've always had anxiety and depression. And honestly as a kid, I had a really hard time coping. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to go. I couldn't trust anyone and tell it to them. And so I had to be independent emotionally. My coping mechanisms? Games and cartoons. I know in myself that these are not very productive of me. But those are all that I had. Guess what I wasn't the only one on this ship. A lot of kids during my time had anxiety and didn't know how to cope with it and like me they had games and cartoon because we're not fabulous like those cool kids at school. So imagine how happy I was a year ago discovering they're gonna a new game out of the games that used to make me happy as a kid when everything else in the world made me want to cry and be sad. Imagine all the other kids who love pokémon and have been fantasising about this game for months along with me because we can finally get to re live our geeky kid days?

You see it really bothers me that there are cool kids who claim they love pokémon to a certain degree. but sorry I don't think they know what it really means for us.

And for the Poké haters. I know. I know there will be hypocrites. I knew it. Which is why I've been having this internal struggle. Those people who once mocks me for loving and depending on this game would come and ask me how to pronounce a Pokémon's name and be all buddy with me. Tell me was I wrong in imagining it?

I guess I need to stop I've been very emotional already. Anyways here's a picture of Teacher Jayz's Fearow on a gym. I can't help it. It's pure gold how she reacts to Pokémon. I don't want to reveal my baby pokémons yet. maybe I will after this post. but for a clue. I'm Team Instinct ;) See you guys in class this week :)

uwaaaaa! I've been soo busy lately! Super sorry! I wish you guys don't get mad. I really try my best to open classes and I really couldn't open classes last week due to extreme fatigue. 超ごめんなさい！Anyway I just wanted to share that today is Philippine Independence day! *throws confetti* And guess what happened today? I got a free train ride! *throws more confetti!* That's kinda all I wanted to say hahaha. I hope to see you guys today! I miss everyone! :D

Hi. sorry for being super busy lately. I know that this is kind of unfair and that is actually something I think myself. I've become mentally attached to this blog and I've been kind of really off and all over the place because I haven't blogged. Well blogging is the best way for me to restart my thoughts and give input on things I find or am curious about. I will try my best to make new blogposts today until the end of May >w< If you may have noticed May is the most few blogposts I have since making this blog and I feel really sad and bad that I haven't made anything interesting.

If I'm going to be honest something bad happened to me lately as well. Last Wednesday I lost my phone you guys :"| So I'll mostly have a hard time taking pictures for this blog as well :( I might bring my laptop everywhere now.

I wanna say more but I dunno if I can. So sorry.

First off, I wanna say this is all Mafu's influence. So yeah. I'm now kinda addicted to this band because of her. First off I wanna say. I've always been semi fascinated with Enka. And rock music has been one of my default favorites so. This is soo much of a cherry on top for me. I was totally happy Mafu shared this with me last Friday and I was table flipping happy.


As of now I still don't know if I have any favorite song. But if I have to at least pick one, I think I like 千本桜 I loved the most out of all of them.


I have to say that one thing that really made me love this band is that they show or remind other people how awesome loving your tradition is.


and somehow incorporating new ways of singing the traditional ways is really very awesome. It shows that somehow we millenials still care about the past but somehow we want to show it in a different way.


kinda like how the world sees us. We are very different and expressive and you know what we are awesome

Hiya I just wanted to share that since yesterday I've been talking with an old friend of mine. And you see he spread some light on my life right now. hahahaha. He made me realize a lot of things about myself. Well I'm gonna list them out because I think he might say more later and I might share more later because I think there are more things about me that he might reveal to me. hahaha. I somehow think he knows me better than myself so Imma let him do what he wants.

sad post. no need to read.

I just wanted to share that right now I'm having difficulty posting new blogposts because (1) the elelctions made me travel from end to end of Metro Manila and Cavite please don't be too literal. (2) work makes it semi impossible for me to even have independent thoughts. (3) I've become depressed lately. I know that saying you're depressed is kind of bad but it's true. I've been having some very unhealthy thoughts lately and it's affecting both my health and hoe I see my goals. Last night, I even wanted to fight someone who doesn't have a clue what's even happening. So yeah. I'm depressed and I have no idea what to do with it. I really want to apologize to people I've been bothering lately. I hope I don't get too hated for being disoriented. I wish I know what's happening to my life even. I need someone. or even anyone to comfort me now. I want to cry.

I just wanted to say that I really used to hate my hair. I dunno why but somehow I've learned to love it. Especially now that I've been doing lots of different things with it. Well almost everything but made it flat straight. I dunno why I'm even talking about this. Maybe because I was crazy sleepy this morning and decided to take a picture of my hair. And then I saw my face and I look grotesque. I mean really grotesque. haha. I'm super sleepy and maybe even sleep deprived. But I laughed myself off with a picture of myself and posted it to facebook. Well I didn't post my after picture there. But I decided to post it here


I'm vain aren't I? See you guys in class later. Imma sleep for a bit :) I didn't even realize how early I am today :))

SPOILERS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I'm not sure if I told anybody from work other than Gela, Sadee and Zyra or my students. But I really love watching AT. I mean I watched it yesterday and now I kinda feel refreshed watching it again. Well I'm doing this review because yesterday they aired an episode with FP on it and I couldn't resist not watching it because I totally love FP and FinnxFP So yeah. I'm doing this. I made lots of gifs with FP and Finn for this. And I kinda changed my mind and put (FinnxFlamePrincess) on the title because I feel like I'll just talk about them. I might make another post about AT that's not just about the 2 of them.


First off I wanna say I'm happy that they're finally interacting! I was kinda super sad that she didn't have any big roles during season 6. I mean she's part of the main cast but she didn't have a big role there so I was really disappointed. I mean c'mon only a cameo with CB on Mountain during season 6? What's up Frederator? So it's a big relief that I finally get to see her again this season. And you know what makes me really happy? She's rapping! Like oh my glob! Are they doing this on purpose? oh my glob. She's paired to Finn's favorite past time beatboxing. Please let me not be the only one to think that she unconsciously picked up this new hobby because it kinda reminds her of him. I mean Finn also loves rapping


So I think somehow she picked it up from him as well. Oh yeah I have a shipper heart so I notice things like these I just wanted to share that other than the 2 of them the only characters in the Land of Ooh that can rap are the bears. I mean even Jake doesn't rap even if he can do beatboxing. So yeah. Anyway I wanted to do this post because I wanted to do an appreciation for the 2 of them for not talking for a long time. I'm only gonna post the good times ok?


Ok since I wanted to share I might as well start from the beginning. This was how they actually first met. It was kinda funny actually because Jake was the one who actually first saw FP. and pretended to not like her anymore because he thought FP was evil like her father said. But Finn did actually fell for her at first sight regardless of what Jake says.


Which is a really cutie patootie happening because FP was really angry at first at him because of what Jake did and Finn was all blunt and says I like you and FP becomes all flushed at the gif above. Watch more of those episodes to know how they really met Season 3 Incendium and Season 4 Hot to the Touch.


Imma skip the other episodes and just share this cutie patootie episode. This was the time FP first referenced Finn as her boyfriend. It was soo cute because at first you just see them being kinda self centered at this episode but you see how they kind of adjust to one another just so they can have fun together. It's really soo sweet of them (♥ω♥ ) ~♪ Season 5 Vault of Bones


I wanna share this episode of full out FinnxPB episode. It's soo cute that they made this totally innocent way of Finn and PB hugging. It's sooo adorable!（*´▽｀*）


But of course this episode wasn't all cuties and hearts. I wanna say more but I don't wanna spoil all the way. I just wanted to comment on the above picture that that moment made me realize how much Finn actually likes her. Like her life because fire needs a lot of oxygen to be "alive" is actually shortening his but he still gave her his oxygen even if it means somehow endangering his. We all know that Finn is selfless. But somehow everything about this pic made me realize that he trully loved her because he didn't think about himself anymore and just thought of her. I know that there are times that when he helps others he goes and thinks about the pros and cons of helping them. But for her he didn't think about anything and just went to help her. I just also wanted to point out that in life that it's true that we can love someone that can be dangerous for us.


But you know what? He tries everything he can just to show how much he loves her. And I love him for that. And FP appreciates that Season 4 Burning Low Aia this post is kinda making me want them to have a relationship again (˃̥̥ω˂̥̥̥) Either way. I'm forever gonna be team FinnxFP! I might make another set of review about Adventure Time. So I hope you read by then o(^◇^)o Catch you guys (/^▽^)/

Bonus (Bacon Pancakes)

I am a big worrywart. I worry about everybody around me. I mean even those people I don't usually interact with. I give them smiles and positive vibes to make them feel better. But looking at myself now. I realize I need someone like me. I mean I can't even walk straight today. Thankfully I'm on my day off so it's good. But looking at myself right now I feel awful. I've been giving everyone else my energy that I didn't realize I don't have any left, for myself. I dunno but I don't think I can stop this habit(?) or attitude? of mine. Even if it drains me.  I think this is very unhealthy but it's part of my personality. I mean how do you stop caring for people who you see everyday? Especially in this kind of work were everyone almost stops caring for themselves because they are too busy or too tired. I wish everyone in ぐんぐん stops for a while and take care of their healths. I get worried for everyone.

Hi. I realize I haven't been posting lately. Well because I'm trying to find a good place to move in to and I currently have my first job back! Well I kinda got a different job than the previous one and it's very different. Different meaning harder. So I'm really sorry if I haven't been posting much. Well I guess this is me updating you. And me trying to let off steam a bit. Well. I feel kinda pressured lately. I mean my job is more difficult now mainly because I kinda qualified for it. I didn't really realize but they made me take an exam for this and I just thought it was a regular exam and I didn't know it was some kind of qualifying exam. I thought we just needed to answer an exam as prerequisite to join the team but not everyone was part of this new team. I dunno. I hope we do good. Anyways. I hope you still have classes with us tho. I'm with some other new teachers


A picture of me and Gela. We're teammates :))

Me, Mayu, Cici, Gela, Dew, Sadee, Drake, Vale

I hope you guys catch us during the weekends. We might be too busy during the weekdays. I'm back to being a weekend teacher. See you guys!

I just wanted to share that I watched a drama last night and I kinda didn't expect that it'd be good. I'm trying my best not to give spoilers. I'm gonna try to phrase my review in a way it wont really reveal much. All gifs are mine.

I've been planning to watch this series for a long time already. I mean I first saw the cast at VSA. But what I'm really curious about is to how will they make the plot interesting? I mean a drama about people loving books? I mean I love books that's why I'm very curious. Also it really took me a while to know Daito Shunsuke's name :))) OGURI SHUN'S YOUNGER BRO! They look sooo alike! I dunno why but I forgot his name :))

Ok. So I wanted to say that I think I had little to no expectations with this drama. And I find myself surprised because I watched all of it until the end. At first I found myself a bit wary of the plot because most of the first episode was focusing on love and I didn't want that because I expected them to love the books more but then I realized maybe the love part was important for the drama because I noticed Tashiro was somehow a bit shady. Luckily I didn't stop just because of that because I loved it. Well mostly because I find myself admiring all of the employees of Pegasus Bookstore.

I wanted to say that I also love 3人 Mami, Keiichiro and Yuka. I dunno but I kinda can relate to them. Mostly because I'm also considered as one of the youngest in the company. And sometimes I kinda feel like I need to do whatever is given to me and sometimes it kinda feels めんどくさい tho I try my best not to think that way. Like them I feel like some people judge me for being too young.  I do kinda hope that the situation where I lose trust on my upperclassmen doesn't happen to me. I mean I give my trust wholly. I'm afraid of being disappointed. But overall I really love the 3 of them



I also want to comment how much I love Obata. I mean. How can you not?! hahaha I mean he's sooooo cutie! He's soo head-over-heels in love with Aki.


And he gave up his job without second thought when he learned that she cares for him more than she leads on. Ugh sooo romantic! haha I love it. I mean I kinda thought that in his mind he must be thinking, this girl is only using me. If I was in the same situation, I would think like that because of how she talked during that time she was asking for his help. but no she loves him too and she's soo subtle. But I noticed that he's actually also the most important person for her and their love is soo lovely :"> Which is why I suddenly also loved the love part of the story.


Speaking of the love part of the story. I kinda can relate to one of them. I feel kinda frustrated during the drama and only realized at the end it was because of Mita. I can relate to Mita. I also have someone I look up to and want that person to depend on me. I dunno how but I'm still gonna try my best and be a better person. I still feel like I need to mature more as a person before I can call myself reliable or dependable. I'm like Mita


I think I have more to say but for now I need to go. I need to sleep. got to work tomorrow! See you!
