The Tiiin Commandments
written by Demsey Ube
- Dapat lagi alam ni Tin kung nasaan ka lalo na kung magkasama kayo kanikanina lang.
- Dapat magsasabe agad kay Tin kung magmmigrate sa ibang bansa bago maging shota.
- Dapat supportive sa studies ni Tin.
- Dapat close sa mga barkada at maging kabarkada rin.
- Pag ayaw ni Tin, huwag nang pilitin; kundi, alam mo na kung saan ka pupulutin.
- Kung game ka magpakilala sa parents ni Tin, game rin sha.
- Dapat mature mag-isip. Ayaw ni Tin magalaga ng baby damulag.
- Huwag magppropose kay Tin na itatanan at papaaralin ng Medicine dahil di yan effective. (Tried and tested)
- Hindi papatol si Tin sa mga totoys kahit pa may back-up na friend/s, mababasted lang ng kung ilang beses.
- Love tin honestly and wholly. She can compromise naman, basta wag lang maabuso at kawawain si Tin. She
will love you back. Promise. (Hindi ko to inedit. Si Dems may gawa nian :)

The Trip I Never Thought I'd be On (A Recount)
Day 1 : Arrival at Kansai
We arrived yesterday, April 28, 2006, at Kansai airport around 7:30 Japan time. We waited for about half an hour for Mike to come pick us up. The farting roaming thing won't work because the farting fone which was supposedly quad-band is actually tri-band. Bye bye roaming.
We took the bus to Kobe which was a farting one-hour drive. And then I had to drag my bags across the streets of Kobe, up and down the stairs just to get to the train station. Yes. Me. I. I was dragging my baggage and then I had this hand-carry bag full of food and then a handbag. And mind you, the walk was NOT a joke. I remembered what I forgot - my vitamins.
We finally arrive at the hotel at around 10 or so. We had dinner at Yoshinoya and gawd the chicken was heavenly. Luckily, Mike left his laptop here at the hotel and then he borrowed an adsl cable so we can get access to the Internet. Ah, feels good to know I have communication with my family back hone. We closed our peepers by 1am.
No pics yet.
**First blood! My period started right after the plane landed. LOL.
Day 2 : Shop til you drop!
Our day started at 9am. OMG. It feels so awkward to wake up so early. Mike had planned for us to go shopping the entire day. And we did. And OMG it wasn't SUPER fun. Shopping's SUPPOSED to be funnn!! OMG. We walked through 3 tunnels of shopping stalls and we've gone into lotsa malls!! It was SUPER tiring. Anyway..so far, I got:
*Sony T9 - 38,000 Yen
*T9 LCD Guard - 680 Yen
*Chocolates -1800 Yen
*Wrist rest for laptop - 460 Yen
*CC Lemon Drink 1.5L - 193 Yen
*3 pcs Pooh Mobile Chains - 300 Yen
*Salt and pepper mill - 1200 Yen
OMG. It's my 2nd day and I've reduced all my Yen into almost half!! Hahaha! Good luck to me. Currently 23:46. I'm drinking green tea, the real thing. LOL. I feel like I'm getting sick but I so hope I won't. It rained twice today. I got soaked twice today. Elk!
Day 3 : Himeji Castle
This one kinda sucked. I thought they had preserved what the rooms looked like before. But it's okei, I saw Yaiba's slippers. LOL!
I don't think I bought anything from there. Or I can't remember. LOL
Day 4 : More shopping and Universal Studios Japan
Shopping at Nike, Porto Bazar, was at the top of the list. LOL. I got a pair for my dadi, another pair for Lester and a pair of slipper for my mum. I also got 2 shoe bags, one blue and one black for my bro and for Liezel. I think I spent 1 lapad there for all that. Hahaha!
We got to USJ at 3 in the afternoon so we didn't have time to experience everything there. I only got the chance to take the Spider-Man ride (which was the most exciting ride there) and Jaws. OMG I can't remember the other rides. Oh right. We saw some live shows such as the Waterworld.
We also saw some mascots. I was able to take pictures with them but it was kinda scary because they were huge and I feel like the people inside can't see me and blah.
Day 5 : Kyoto, Kyoto des.
This one was kinda far and it was a huge place with lots of temples inside but one has to take the bus to go to each one. We didn't have enough time to visit all of them so we only saw one temple. It was the Golden Pavilion. I'm not sure whether it was just painted gold or if it was really made of gold but I dunno, the foundation which was out of wood, didn't look like it could support that much gold.
After that, we went to the Osaka Aquarium. It was nice there but then they didn't have too many exotic fishies. I had wanted to buy souvenirs from there but I dunno, something was holding me back from doing so. LOL.
Day 6 : Bullet train to Tokyo
The ride from Osaka to Tokyo took 3 hours or more, by bullet train. The ride was okei but then we had our luggage with us so it was kinda difficult to move about, trying to squeeze inside the train with tons of other people. At the same time, I was sick that day. I was having tummy ache and diarrhea. I couldn't eat normally but my aunt and uncle and cousin were pushing me to eat solid foods so I had no choice. Good luck with the stops to poo. LOL. Nonetheless, good thing my aunt brought Chinese tablets so I was kinda able to recover. ^^
This picture was taken just when the train was arriving. It was damn fast!
Day 7 : The Infamous Temple
Nuff said. Can't remember what we did after or before this. LOL. OMG. Ulyanin.
Day 8 : Everyday, everyday the magic is here!
In the morning, we went to see the Tokyo tower. We didn't go too close to it because it was pretty far and we had to walk to get to it. I didn't want to pursue getting near it because that will only wear my aunt and uncle out and that spells bye bye Disney Resort for me. At the same time, we went into the temple near the tower. As usual, I stopped to pray for the usual stuff. :P
And yes, the moment I've been waiting for. Disney Resort!! I took my first rollercoaster ride here and it was THE bomb!! ^^
Day 9 : Trip to reality.
Aww. No more magic for me. :c All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Getting to different places was wearisome because of the long walks and the transferring from one train to the other, the long rides but at the end of the day, after I see a part of Japan, I feel good about it. It's all worth the foot pains and the hunger pangs. The difficult part is being with my aunt and uncle who are OMG-oh-so-kulit people. No one can win any argument with them. It's like, they rule. And that's why God put them together, I think, they're the perfect brain-exploding, blood-boiling, nerve-popping people anyone could ever be with. And my cousin was okei to be with but then when his friend, Ning, tags along with us, he keeps going with her and then he leaves us behind. :(
You should be able to see more pictures in my Friendster profile. I would like to give out the link to my cousin's album on Yahoo! but I don't have his permission so I can't. :c
The case of the X left me 2 messages on Friendster recounting their trip to God-knows-where. I only skimmed it and after that my eyes just kinda rolled on their own to mean 'wth is he telling that for?'. I mean, really, I didn't ask about his trip. I am not his personal diary. He should start writing his own blog for stuff like that. And why does he keep expecting things from me and telling me what to dooo!! ARGHHH!! Pif.. When will we ever get tired of this?
And tadah! Guess what? My dad is planning to quit his job. :O Yep. Super :O for me. It's like I'm so back to living my real life that I got new, more problems to think about. I have no idea about the PLM College of Med results yet. If I am not qualified for that, I'd be working nalang. Here or abroad, doesn't matter. I just need to be able to not let my dad keep pestering my mum for money in the future, if ever. Good luck to us. @_@
Welcome back to me.. 9_9
