Hana's Dealings

It is always good to have a share of other people's stories especially if written through poems. This one's from a friend who too has her share of pains and heartaches in life. I find beauty in writing and it thrills me to know someone who does the same.

The Deal of Wilderness
Honey Rose "Hana" Timtim

The intense gust of the wind is coming again,
The sun’s hot rays are blazing and sizzling,
Penetrating on the open pores of my skin,
Giving both warm and cold senses same of a gin.

The rustling of the leaves and chirping of birds,
Are a sweet melody on my dancing feathers,
Seems so stupendous to feel this again,
and t’was like a candy on my window pane.

Been a long time since I felt the hitting of the dart,
A feeling that palpitates the core of my heart,
So loud, so strong, so wild, tickling every part,
Should I be drowned or holding on top and be smart?

I’m very powerful yet powerless,
Don’t want to think again as flawless,
Cause I know at the end of the day it’s no painless,
And I can’t bear staring at her too colorless.

Imperfectly perfect way is to shut it down,
Since I don’t want to spread the stain on my gown,
Then lock it up into the deepest thread,
Hoping time would help to destroy it and be dead.

I guess the way to be glee is unreal,
for I can’t afford to nod and accept the deal,
It’s overwhelming and terrifying as well,
When you thought it’s heaven but actually it’s  hell.

Filipino Stores and Restaurants in Tokyo

For somebody who craves for Filipino food and snacks from time to time, here are the stores I frequent to. I can only share a limited perspective but solely based on my experiences. Read on! Filipino Stores 1. Asia Yaosho (Kabukicho, Shinjuku)  While they mostly have Filipino products, they also sell Thai goods. I think their prices are a little lower than the other Filipino stores I've tried. However, they have limited stocks and they often run out of items that I usually need, like Bearbrand. 😁 Credits: This photo is from this website .  2.  Ameyoko Center Underground Marekt (Ueno)   This market is heaven for Southeast Asians. They have a lot of varieties, dry goods, frozen meat, and even fresh seafood. There are also two Filipino stores in the area. They sell more items than Asia Yaosho but they are a bit pricey.  Credits: Photo is from this website. The market is underground. The entrance is on the side of this building at the center of this photo.  3....

Summer: Warm Encounters

This year's summer break has been the best I've had in Japan or at least ever since I got to spend for my trips on my own. But while scanning through a thousand travel photos on my phone and camera, I realized that travel is made even more special with people you are with and those you encounter. Izumo, Shimane Other than its quiet and laidback atmosphere, the beauty of Izumo lies on its people. Our going there wasn't as carefully planned as it should have been. It's much farther from Tokyo and would honestly cost us more. But my oneechan convinced me that it will be worthwhile. I also happen to have a friend living in Izumo and I thought it will be a good opportunity for a catch up.  This Izumo friend drove us around and went out of her way for us to be able to spend a memorable day around the area. She as usual welcomed us with warmth and excitement sharing the history and stories of her hometown here and there. She is also naturally funny. Her quirks still make me gi...

Seven

Favor! As I was preparing to apply for this job, I felt that certain peace and assurance that this would go well. True enough, I got shortlisted for an interview. But it wasn't only an interview, there was also a written exam and a teaching demo. All happened in one day. Then the waiting starts. Two months to be exact. This position isn't always available. It's uncertain how many teachers the city would accept in a year. And a lot of us would want to get in. The perks and benefits that come along this direct employment are something foreign workers are longing to have. Then they called me and told me I was first on the waitlist. We were all put on the waitlist. I heard there were over a hundred applicants. Less than half got called for an interview. Then about twenty were considered for the position. But it was still uncertain how many of the twenty will successfully sign a contract. Another week passed when I finally received a mail. It was the contract package. Then they ...
