Pag may itinanim, may aanihin.....

Ilang aratiles este cherry tomatoes na rin ang aking inani. Mga 4 na piraso na (^_^) At mukhang marami-rami pa naman akong aanihin. 

Chukchak-keberloo na ang drama ng aking tanim na talong. Kailangan ko na siyang i-euthansia dahil sa mga insekto na dumapo sa kanya. Sobrang dami kadir-dir. At ngayon kung kelan naman may magandang future na akong nakikita sa tanim kong green bell pepper e tsaka naman unti-unti na rin itong pinamamahayan ng mabubuting insekto. Inuunahan pako. 

Dear insektos, pa-harvest naman ng bell pepper kahit 2 lang!  

Nagamit ko na rin ang dahon ng aking amplaya para sa ginisang munggo na niluto ko last week. Mukhang matagal-tagal pa siyang magbubunga. La pang bulaklak e. At dahil tag-init na hindi na ako pedeng umasa sa divine providence pagdating sa pagdidilig. Napansin ko kasi na pagdating ng hapon tuyot na kagad ang lupa nila.

Happy weekend ebribadeh!

Week 18

June 19 - History repeated itself. A super typhoon on the day of my check-up again. But this time rain will start pouring at around 6-7pm so I still went to the clinic after work. Basuraman also texted me that he will wait for me at Kokubunji Station so we can go home together after my check-up. As I was walking on my way to the clinic, it rained so hard that my entire lower body almost got wet. Konting pagpag dito. Konting pagpag dun. Despite the heavy rain I was still on time for my appointment.

The clinic staff pointed me to the restroom so I can urinate and have a sample of my urine. This has been the procedure since my last 2 check-ups. I dunno if I just got engot but I can not find the cup/container! I asked Ms. Clinic Staff and showed me where it was. It was just on top of the water tank. Tanga lang.

Before the ultrasound Lola OB informed me of my chlamydia test and it was negative meaning the test is OK/normal. Here comes the good news. Goodbye transvaginal ultrasound. Yey to pelvic ultrasound! Finally. Baby did not make pakitang gilas and when it was time to get his/her picture Lola OB can not find the right angle. Ayun tuloy di mashado kita yung arms and legs niya. Anyway according to Lola OB, baby is growing normal and fine. I also discussed to her the papers that I will be needing when I go back to Philippines as well as the date of my departure. I also asked her if I can bring Basuraman on my next check-up so he can see baby in the ultrasound. She said yes and is looking forward to seeing Basuraman on July 10.

Napakasakit Ate Charo.... Why o why Delilah?

Farmville Year 2

2 years ago sinubukan kong magtanim sa dati naming apartment at ang resulta ay bokya. Hektwali meron naman ako napala. 5 piraso ng cherry tomatoes at 8 dahon ng amplaya (para sa ginisang munggo). Katulad ng aking nabanggit sa aking nakaraang entry ay nagtanim ako nung Golden Week. Yeboi. Farmville is back to business bebe!

Hindi katulad nung una kong pagtatanim, bumili na ako ng seedlings. Di na ako nangarap pa na magsimula sa pagtatanim ng buto. Sikreto lang natin pero yung iba nga meron ng bulaklak hihi. Mejo nag level-up ako ngayon kasi meron pang fertilizer ang aking mga pananim. Oha.

Pagkatapos ng isang buwan ay ganito na ang itsura ng aming veranda.

Yung amplaya ko parang mashadong maliit. Yung tipong kapag ginamit ko yung dahin nila sa balatong (ginisang munggo) e malulusaw lang siya. Niloloko pa nga ako ng aking butihing ina at mukhang ampalayang ligaw (a.k.a. damo) daw yata yung natanim ko.

Parang pinapaasa lang ako ng aking talong at green bell pepper. Kasi everytime na meron silang bulaklak  nalalagas lang.

Pero excited na ako sa aking mga kamatis. 2 klase ang itinanim ko ngayon. Ordinaryong kamatis at cherry tomataoes. Yung cherry tomatoes madami ng bunga. Yung mga ordinaryong kamatis ngayon pa lang
namumulaklak. Sana naman e makaani ako ng madami-dami bago pa sila matuyo pagdating sa summer ^_^

Halos 1/3 ng veranda namin ngayon e sakop na ng aking mga pananim. Goodluck sa aming pagsasampay ng labada.

Week 11

Matagal-tagal din bago kami muling magkikita ni Lola OB. Golden Week (Oogata Renkyuu) na naman. Ibig sabihin isang linggong walang pasok. Kadalasan ang Golden Week dito sa Japan ay natatapat sa unang linggo ng Mayo. Hindi kami masyado nakagala dahil may pasok si Basuraman, madalas nag-uulan (kaya tulog mode lang ako) at dahil ako ay nasa aking 1st trimester ng pagjojontis kaya iniiwasan ko muna ang mga pasyal at lakad na nakakapagod.

Kaya nagtanim na lang ako ^_^ Kumpara sa dati naming apartment mas malawak ang veranda namin ngayon kaya may espasyo para sa aking mga tanim.

importante na ang pandilig ay hugis elepante na kulay berde ^_^

Sana lang ay meron akong maani sa mga itinanim kong kamatis, green bell pepper, talong at ampalaya. Yung dahon man lang ng ampalaya dumami para magamit sa balatong (munggo) ^_-

my 'lil farmville update

tuesday (july 27)....

harvest time! ^_^ i used my 'lil pink scissors to harvest my 2 'lil tomatoes

today...

see the yellow arrows? that is where i took my first harvest.

will be harvesting the red ones maybe on wednesday or thursday. i will the leave the rest to mommy joy :)

What a feeling! bein's believin'
I can't have it all, now I'm dancin' for my life
(i wanted to type "what a feeling" but then i thought of the song "what a feeling" and looked for its lyrics on the internet. just sharing. hee )

napakasakit kuya eddie

bakeeet??? bakeeeeeeeeeet???!!!

nabawasan na ng lima ang iha-harvest  ko (T_T)

hold on

are they dying?

playing.biking.buying

badminton session last saturday.

anong kakamutin mo jan kuya kim?

growing and growing

sana magising pako bukas sa kabila ng mga nararamdaman ko ngayon.

physical  and  emotional bullshit.

minsan gusto ko rin namang maranasan na sumunod sa desisyon ng isang lalaki. sumunod sa lalaking magtataguyod ng aking pamilya. lam mo yun? yung may sariling diskarte at pananaw sa buhay. may confidence kumbaga. hindi mo kakikitaan ng takot kahit hindi sigurado sa mga gagawin. e lekat. sa pinagkahaba-haba ng prusisyon e ako pa rin ang magdedesisyon. talaga naman.... nag-rhyme pa. buset.

++++++

nababadingan ako sa mga lalaki na nagcocontact lens na may kulay. lalo yung kulay blue, green and charcoal/gray. chakanessss!

nababadingan din ako sa lalaki na nagsasabi ng "amfufu", "ampfnesssss" and the likes. maygasabelgas...

higit sa lahat nababadingan ako sa mga lalaki na nag-aahit ng kilay! nagngpowtek...

yun lang.

++++++

my 'lil farmville update:

malapit na ako magharvest! wahahahahaha :)

opefully this weekend if we're not going to render overtime work, i can already place the net for the goya/bitter gourd where it can crawl.

give love everyday :)


oyasumi nasai!

sleepyhead tomato

was very sleepy the whole day. went home at around 8pm. grilled the fish for dinner. dumped the laundry in the washing machine. one more round to go. waiting for mommy joy so we can eat dinner together. will be calling basuraman in a few minutes to say that i have to sleep early and i can't wait for him to go online *yawn*.

++++++


after my afternoon nap mommy joy told me that an old lady talked to Kuya Allan (husband of my colleague who lives 3-4 doors from our apartment) and was complaining about my tomatoes/plants. she said it was "DAME" - no good/bad. i wanted to cry the moment i heard that. it's like they want to take away my happiness T_T this weekend i will go to our landlord to ask if they do not really permit plants in front of the apartment. baka kasi di pwede pagmultahin pako :( for the meantime i placed them in the corner para hindi mainit sa mata hehe. sakto kasi sha sa tapat ng hagdanan. nainggit siguro yung thundercats. hmp! if the landlord will prohibit the placement of plants in front of our apartment i have no choice but to move my plants in the laundry area :(  hay... sad...



anyway this is what they look like now. taken yesterday night after watering them :)

konti na lang mas malaki na sila sa akin :D

pwede na kami magluto ng balatong/munggo :D

i wonder how those tiny stems can hold the fruits. pwera usog! :)

love love love!

plant and you shall reap

well well well...

what do we have here...

 

my babies have flowers. And flowers = FRUITS! uber happy ^_^ since they are growing bigger and bigger everyday *haha exag* last week or last last week? i forgot heee. i think it's last last week. again again again. last last week  i placed support on each tomato plant. i bought the circle thing at daiso and the little pole at CONAN(an everything-you-need store).

the third container holds my bitter gourd (or ampalaya in tagalog and goya in japanese). tinitignan ko lang sila nawawala na ang pagod ko sa magdamag maghapon na trabaho.

kindly click to enlarge :) kung gusto mo lang naman maka-relate :)

did you see the two seedlings  trying to push their way up the soil? they are my green bell pepper seedlings :) don't mind the one with a tiny leaf. ligaw na damo lang sha. i just placed 4 seeds in the soil and waited if they will grow. after 2 weeks of waiting that is what i saw. i feel a green thumb here. feelingera :D

because i was too busy with work i wasn't able to post the pics of my little farmville  last week. took the pictures last sunday (june 20). tomorrow i"ll be taking again some pictures because the flowers are already starting to bloom and my bitter gourd seedlings are growing fast together with my bell peppers. whew!

my ampalaya seedlings! :)

bell pepper :)

my plants are located in front of our apartment (along the hallway) since we live on the second floor.

green is love :)

Fan request

Just finished watching episode 2 of True Blood Season 3. I hate Bill's maker and I'm starting to like Eric Northman haha.

++++++

Remember this?

Patience truly is a virtue :)

will be making a separate entry for my tomato/bitter gourd/bell pepper children. been doing overtime everyday for the last 3 weeks (meaning leaving office everyday at 9-9:30pm). the worst thing about it is we don't get paid. it's a long story. anyway just want to quote what Kuya Mylo said last week....

"...kung ang makina nga nag-ooverheat tayo pa kaya..."

++++++

Ay Caramba!

we are starting to have hot nights. ang ineeeeet! diko mashadong naramdaman ang spring. parang after winter summer kagad. oh well....

++++++

we tried grilling squid last week. and this is the result...

we bought the squids at 350 yen for 7 pcs. not bad eh?

++++++

one of my colleagues gave us this omiyage (pasalubong).

it's not the usual mochi or chocolate. so we asked Hayakawa-san to teach us how to eat that thing. shempre kuya kim as our mowdel.

i haven't tried mine. i'm always busog kasi.

++++++

my babies have grown very big! ok not so big. just exaggerating. but they are really growing! i love them :)

after leaving them for some hours this afternoon i saw this.

good thing nothing was broken. they just really want to kiss the ground. so i have to put my markers again for temporary support.

tomorrow i'll be going back again to daiso to get some stuff that can help my babies stand strong amidst the heavy wind.

++++++

currently watching The Simpsons. lovin' 'em!
