WEDDING CEREMONIES of two country

JAPANESE WEDDING TRADITION
Spring and Fall are popular seasons for weddings in Japan. Traditional japanese wedding ceremony are Shinto style and held at Shrines means Jinja. In a shinto style wedding ceremony the bride wears a traditional wedding Kimono called Shiromuku. Shiro means white and Maku means pure. The brides hair is styled in the traditional style called and adorned with beautiful ornaments combs and accesories. And the grooms wear montsuki haori hakama.

PHILIPPINES TRADITIONAL WEDDING Kasal means...wedding! The traditional Filipino kasalan or wedding in the Christian Community is unique in that it adds three more ceremonies into the basic wedding rites. This additional ceremonies are the Veil, the Cord and the Arrhae or coin ceremonies. The whole weddings thus takes just a little bit longer and a few more participants are required but it certainly makes for a more memorable wedding day.

My Favorite Japanese MANGA



My No.1 Favorite Japanese Comic strip is "SAZAE SAN"...created by Machiko Hasegawa. Sazaesan is one of the oldest comic strip and animation in Japan. This series is known to every Japanese young and old. The concept of the story is very natural, realistic and has a good lessons. The Fuji Television started Sazaesan animated comic strip series in 1969 and still on the AIR today every Sunday 6:30pm. I really miss "SAZAE SAN" because when we moved here in the Philippines I can't watch this program anymore because here we don't have Fuji TV only NHK.
Friends I hope you like this Manga too...

A WISE MOM...

What is your Sideline?
Nothing is cheap these days. It takes more than a regular 8hours a day job to maintain a comfortable lifestyle with our family will enjoy. What does a wise mommy have to do? Let's think of the sideline. Let us generate extra income and here are some suggestions.


  1. Website Design

  2. Freelance Writing

  3. Franchising

  4. Baking or Cooking

It will be tricky to jump into a sideline and at the same time keep the house up and running. Create a shedule which still allows you to spend time with your family. In the end, it will pay off. You will find yourself basking in a comfortable life with people who matters most.

Japanese SUSHI...おいしいよ!



Have you eat already a SUSHI? I remember when I first time challenge to eat Sushi it was not a good taste for me because of the Wasabi, a green chili paste always put at the middle of raw fish and rice. It was a dramatic experience for me because I can't stop not to cry that time...hu,hu,hu! But now I LOVE SUSHI SO MUCH!...uuummm OISHII...it means delicious!
Sushi is a vinegared rice with a various of toppings of raw fish, raw seafood, meat and vegetables. There are many kind of sushi in Japan...Makizushi, Nigiri zushi, Inarizushi and Chirashi. Sushi is usually served when they are having a family gathering and celebration party.
Sushi is a No. 1 cuisine in Japan and also an expensive cuisine too, but there is also an affordable Sushi restaurant in Japan like Kaiten Zushi like a merry go round sushi, it's so funny and good taste too!
And now also here in the Philippines the Sushi is become a favorite of the filipinos and Americans too.
Taste it and you will love it! But be careful with the wasabi...hahaha!

Life together...Life apart

One secret I would like to share to you my friends, I think to marriage is having your own lives apart from each other. You have your life together as a couple but it is also important for you to pursue what you want. You have to continue to grow not for him or for anyone, but because you want to. A part of the secret of marriage is loving yourself because you can't love other person unless we start with yourself.
Married life should be adjusting to one another. After our 13years living together I learned a lot with my husband as well as myself, and I also learned how to deal with there Japanese customs too.
Thank you so much my friends for spending your time reading my blog...untill next time!
Good News for Seniors! For your second life you can enjoy your living here in the Paradise Philippines...
