SOURCE:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23716592/TOKYO - Japan has created an unusual government post to promote animation, and named a perfect figure Wednesday to the position: a popular cartoon robot cat named Doraemon.Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura appointed the cat an "anime ambassador," handing a human-sized Doraemon doll an official certificate at an inauguration ceremony, along with dozens of "dorayaki" red bean pancakes — his favorite dessert — piled on a huge plate. Komura told the doll, with an unidentified person inside, that he hoped he would widely promote Japanese animated cartoons, or "anime." 
 Takoyaki and Sushi are just few of the Japanese foods loved by the Filipinos and other Nationalities. These delicacies are so popular that many restaurants offer them in the menu. Unluckily, if you really want to have a taste of these mouth-watering cookings, considering the original recipe and ingredients, you have to save a few hundreds. Japanese restaurants in big malls around the Metro serve Takoyaki and Sushi with authentic ingredients. But only people can afford them. 
According to Mr. Wikipedia, Takoyaki is a Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (aonori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings), first popularized in Taisho-eraOsaka. While Sushi is a vinegar rice topped with fish or mixed with vegetables.
When I was in middle school, I always dream eating sushi someday. Even if it would cost a lot, I really wanted to try one. When I knew about Tokyo Tokyo, I tried the sushi but my savings could not afford my cravings. It was such a frustration. One time, I found a sushi offered from the supermarket and a number of pieces with good price. I bought one and that was the first time I also learned to use chopsticks. I tried and my first bite was like a “speechless judgment”. The taste of sushi was very authentic and my taste buds were crying for more. I’ve learned that you have to dip the sushi on the soy sauce with calamansi / citrus extract or with wasabi. My takoyaki story was simple. When I first watched Gokusen and other anime series, I saw this delicious looking chow with octopus. It was like a stranger for me. But Takoyaki was very difficult to hunt. I couldn’t really find anywhere and only few people know where to find this. The one that I bought for the first time (with a very small octopus cut) was a bit pricey. After sometime, I purchased takoyaki with affordable cost and much bigger. I was really hoping that someday there would be a small food stall/ restaurant who would offer less expensive delicacy like this two. Now, that was like a dream came true. Sushi and Takoyaki could be purchase at less time. It is good to know we could have a taste of these delicacies event the ingredients of the takoyaki has only few octopus pieces and sushi varieties are limited. In Metro Market Market, Maki Mi Sushi sells affordable sushi with variety of container sizes with mixed pieces. They have Solo, Double, and many more. Among the many choices of sushi in Japan, Maki Mi Sushi sells about few classes of sushi. As far as I can remember, they have California roll, and nigiri-sushi (tamago sushi, crab sushi). I don’t know own the photos below but these are the kinds of sushi Maki Mi Sushi offers.
Takoyaki can be found at the foodcourt section of Metro Market Market. I am sorry and I forgot the name of the food stall. They sell takoyaki balls in 4 pcs. including the mayonnaise and the toppings in good price. The takoyaki balls taste good and the vegetable fillings were fulfilling. The original octopus ingredient is included but only in few chopped. For those who wanted to try different cuisine other than Pinoy delicacies, there is no harm in trying new foods for your taste buds.  It was January 2009 when I began taking fat reducing pills/ fat- burning drugs. I decided buying Fitrum which was very affordable in the market. For just P12-14.00 and a pill per day, with good exercise everyday, and proper diet, you could achieve the body you want. I continued taking Fitrum, 2 pills per day. However, they would say you really have to do some exercises too. But I think I was too busy during the past 1st 3 months of this year. I am too lazy to have a 15 min.-30 mins exercise everyday because of school and tiredness. Sometimes I ate my meal in wrong time and couldn't prevent eating after 6pm. Maybe I was just having too many reasons and excuses.
But then, I tried Xenical which is very popular in advertisements. I knew there would be nothing wrong if I'll try this for a week or less.
So, I started saving P45-50 everyday and bought 1 pill a day.
I believed that Xenical is effective even without exercise. So, I just took one pill and ate my meal even couldn't be consider a good diet.
I observed my eating habits and my body mass/ weight. After few days, maybe 5 days- 7 days, I saw the results. It seemed that IT IS REALLY EFFECTIVE!
The last time I weighed was 125lbs, and too overweight for a 4'11 inches person like me. I saw that my waistline started to loose few inches, 2-3 inches, but not too much. My arms were loosing fats, and I felt that I am lighter! Moreover my tummy was getting flat. Even I ate too much it was good to know that Xenical really worked like a MAGNET to fats. Once you ate there are fats and calories to be converted. So, Xenical works by sticking the fats of the food we take with the drug and expels out through bowel movement. Many people say that when you take Xenical you will be having loose and oily tools or sometimes, when you fart there will be an amount of feces coming out.
It may be gross to think but this is a PROOF that those unused oils are thrown away by this drug. In my own experience, I haven't experienced this oily-loose stools since I am not taking the pill with exercise. Xenical is BETTER and MUCH effective together with regular exercise everyday!
Although the price is not very BUDGET friendly, we can always take this pill 5x/week and reduce the food we eat. Drink plenty of water and prevent TOO MUCH SUGARs, like chocolates and softdrinks. Also, large amount of sodium chloride/ salt is not very good to Kidneys and to our health.
Xenical is not very suggestive to people with tight budget. but there are other alternatives like they say, take FITRUM with green tea, as in GREEN TEA like in C2. don't sweetened the tea coz it will be less effective. Slenda is also an alternative.  | Category: | Movies | | Genre: | Science Fiction & Fantasy |
Maybe this movie review is very late when WALL E was shown in Philippine Cinemas on June 2008.
Regardless of the delay, this review contains my opinion about the movie.
I am not really a movie-goer or a movie-fan but when I watched this movie ,(downloaded from torrent) it seemed that I wanted to watch another movie of any type. I missed the days that I am frustrated to go to movie houses.
Anyway, this will be a brief review.
WALL –E is an animated fiction movie about a trash- compactor robot named WALL-E, who was left behind on earth to clean the trash and garbages accumulated for many years. WALL-E befriended Eve, an advanced robot from outer space sent to earth to collect an evidence of any proof of life. The people on earth were evacuated to a large- cruise space ship where technology is very advance and their needs are sustain without any difficulty. The setting of the movie happened on the year 2105, on earth and in space-cruise ship.
The earth was covered with a large volume of garbage because of humans continuous consumed of many items without disposing them properly. The humans decided to transfer into a large space-cruise ship until earth is cleaned by trash- compactor robots. WALL- E was one of these trash compactor robots and invented to clean the earth. Unluckily, he was the only one left. After sometime, a space ship landed on earth. Unknown to WALL-E, the space ship sent EVE, an advance female robot to collect something/ anything that can be a proof of life. The proof of life could be a living thing which will tell if earth can still support humans. WALL-E fell in love with EVE. While EVE was on earth, WALL- E showed her many good things and memories were kept until the time that EVE left earth. EVE found a small plant which means a proof of life. Afterwhich, EVE was shutdown and waited until the space ship picked her up. Because of WALL- E’s undying feelings for EVE, he followed EVE to outer space and came to the cruise-ship were humans temporarily live. The large-cruise space ship was called the AXIOM. Here, WALL- E saw many highly developed and sophisticated robots. The AXIOM helped humans to survive not to live. Humans were fatter and obesed. Even the Captain B. McCrea (AXIOM’s captain) himself looked like a big fat bull. Entertainment, latest trends in fashion, movies, and communication were given to humans while they were sitted in an auto-chair like vehicle. The technology here was very advanced that human beings forgot to appreciate and observe what is in reality.
WALL-E’s accidental visit to AXIOM made the Captain McCrea interested to earth. When, the captain saw the plant, a proof of life, he decided an immediate returned to earth. But unfortunately, the highly- sophisticated robots don’t want people to relocate. With the help of the rogue robots, (robots with unlikely behavior, with malfunction parts) WALL-E and EVE passed all the struggles and finally people went home to earth. Using a hyper-jump, the AXIOM made to earth for just in 10 seconds.
The movie contained moral values about Frienship, Love and Care to Mother Earth, Appreciation to one’s abilities and skills, and Cooperation and Helping One Another. Also, the movie has so many subjects like technology, health, nature, friendship, automation, values, science, and many more.
This movie I learned to love basically has a great animation and graphics.
The drama was just right and the scenes for every subject was emphasized.
What I really don’t like about the movie was I think it was short. Maybe, it should be made 2 hrs instead of 1 and 30 mins. When humans came back to earth to plant and live again should be a little longer. WALL-E and EVE’s adventures inside the AXIOM was undoubtedly outstanding even some parts made me angry. I was really caught up with the greediness of the robot, G0-4, the one who was responsible for security (if I am not mistaken). Because G0-4 tried to destroy the plant which was the proof of life on earth. If I will rate this film, I’ll give this 97% out of 100 (as the highest score)
This film is perfect for families, friends, and children. Again, Disney produced another great movie which will truly be included in your movie-play-lists.
 THE BENEFITS AND DISADVANTAGES OF UKAY UKAY
This is a review about the Ukay Ukay that can be found in different places in Metro Manila.
This review contains my thoughts and opinions about this very popular store of imported clothes, shoes, bags, stuff toys, and other second-handed stuffs.
What is UKAY UKAY?
UKAY UKAY came from the word "HALUKAY" which means to dig-up.
Ukay Ukay/ Ukayan originally can be found in Baguio City. Baguio City is the Summer Capital of the Philippines located at the northern part of Luzon.
This a heaven of many imported sweaters, jackets, and other RTWs.
Ukay-Ukay is very famous to every Pinoy even to rich people.
Stores like this can save almost 50-80% of a person's budget from buying clothes, shoes, and other things. Although many people do not really rely on Ukay Ukay because of many factors, this place greatly help especially those
who want to save and purchase the shoes/ bag items they desire.
I, Myself can really prove how Ukay Ukay works. I am not a fashionista, but I got my own style. Sometimes jologs or my outfit is out of the tune.
The following are the benefits of UKAY UKAY
SAVE MORE!
Clothes, Pants, Blouses, dresses, shoes, bags, stuff toys, and other things can be bought for almost half of the original price from malls.
Example, a P500.00 can only buy a t-shirt from malls. But in Ukay Ukay, from 200- 250 pesos you can purchase a shirt/ blouse. The prices of these items ranging from P20-P200 (if it is clearance sale) - P200- 800 (regular prices) -P200 P1,500 (for new arrivals).
MORE CHOICES OF CLOTHES, BAGS, SHOES, ETC.
Clothes varies from jackets, sweaters, blouses, skirts, long skirts, dresses, shoes, boots, slippers, bags, and etc. These choices will not only fill your eyes with happiness but also makes you to select your desired item type.
If you are a cosplayer/ person with own style in clothing, this place is for you.
Pants and upper garments of different colors are available, corsets and undies too, imported handbags, shoulder bags, bakcpacks, pouches, wallets are displayed, and blouses with different styles and designs varies a lot.
IMPORTED ITEMS
Ukay Ukay items mostly came from the US, asian countries, and European Countries. 80-100% of UKay UKay items are imported and original.
RARE ITEMS
If you will compare the items and clothes from malls to Ukay Ukay, items from malls are removed after some time. This means, every time there is a new trend in fashion, the items are brought back to the manufacturer / put into SALE.
But in Ukay Ukay, items from 70's up to now can possibly be in sight.
Checkered pants, laced skirts, gothic clothes, vintage shoes and shirts , bags, and kitchen stuffs, dresses of all kinds and almost all.
Disadvantages of Ukay Ukay
CLEANLINESS OF ITEMS
In Ukay Ukay, items are received by the store in boxes being shipped from other countries. Since these clothes are not 100% clean, there is a great chance that bacteria and viruses accumulates every item. Even the items passed to sanitation inspection/ sprayed with disinfectants, these clothes are second- handed and worn and touched by different people.
Some items smell bad and almost all the items of RTWs have the same odor.
So, after purchasing an item, wash it thoroughly before wearing.
LIMITED SIZES, COLORS, and STYLES of ITEMS
Sizes for clothes, shoes, and other wearables are limited.
In ukay ukay, sometimes there is only one size of a shirt/blouse or pants, and no more other sizes are available. the shoe sizes and colors are also limited. if there are a lot of boots from the ukay ukay stores, mostly i observed there is only one color, one size, and one style for each. variety of rubber shoes, leather shoes, slippers, and sandals has only one styles, colors, and sizes.
CONDITION OF ITEMS
This is the biggest issue among the ukay ukay items. If you have found a good ukay ukay, you may have purchase items in good conditions. with complete buttons, fixed zippers, and the fabric is not damaged. but if you are unlucky enough, the negative sides of the items may appear. maybe, you have bought shoes with broken soles and detached leather/ heels, blouses with damaged buttons, shirts with broken buttons, pants with no zippers, and sometimes dirty skirts with fading colors.
As a Conclusion, for me UKAY UKAY is Good for people with a few budget, good sense of original style in clothing, and a determination to travel in metro to search Ukay Ukay stores and dig up clothes for long hours.
Department Stores in malls are best choice for individuals with Good Budget, likes new trends in fashion, and only have few time to purchase some items, since, items and wearables are in good condition and always new in malls.
As a person, who don't really a shoppaholic in malls or visiting a boutique, I have learned to like and love Ukay Ukay. This store helped to purchase the shoes, boots, and other clothing that i dreamt of. I think my good judgements in choosing good items with fine conditions helped my savings and frustrations.
THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE BEST UK UK STORES THAT I CAN RECOMMEND. They sell items and RTWs in good conditions, big number of items, and in affordable prices.
