Places to Go This Summer

Since I'm sticking around Providence this summer, I'm thinking up a list of places that I would like to visit/hang out at in Providence and outside it...

In no particular order:




1. Roger Williams Park - I stumbled upon this place right before Spring Break and I'd love to see it again when it's more green.


yay duckies ^_^

2. Prospect Park & India Point Park - near by campus but I still haven't been to either

3. A good beach - Last summer when I was in DC, I went to the beach ONCE an that was in South Carolina, but not this summer, I need the beach! I'm still a California girl at heart

4. Newport - To take pictures of the pretty houses :)

5. Boston - As if I haven't been there enough times, there's never enough time! And I know it's kind of nerdy but I want to visit some historical places

6. New York/New Jersey - Because if I'm here for the whole summer I definitely have to go see my relatives. Knowing me I'll get a Filipino food craving as soon as I get sick of the food I'll be cooking for myself haha.


That's all I have for now, but definitely more to be added soon! Any suggestions?

**EDIT**

7. Block Island, and anywhere else where we can bike! Meaning that first I'll need to get a bike!

I didn't know you wanted to go to Block Island! We're going to bike trip there now that we have awesome bikes. When you come in mid-July we can go if you'd like :)

A farewell speech

Image
(Just because it's fun to remember...and because I got so much help from my friends, I might as well post it here in case it can help someone someday.) The teachers and students were super surprised and super excited that I spoke so much Japanese in my speech. Obviously I didn't write all, or even most, of the Japanese in this speech, but the students and teachers appreciated the gesture so much that I am really glad I just asked for help from as many Japanese-studying/speaking friends as I could.  ------------------------------------------------------------- Mina-san, konnichiwa/ohaiyogozaimasu.  Good morningeveryone!    I have been in Japan and teaching at Ikakita (my school's nickname) for one year, and it has been very enjoyable. Ima made watashi wa ichi-nen-kan Nihon ni ite, Ikakita de oshiete imashita, taihen tanoshikatta desu. It's a shame that I have to leaveIkakita. Ikakita o sarukoto ni nari, zannen desu.

Review: Victoria's Secret Ruched Convertible Dress

Image
I love trying on dresses :) Ever since my friend Cherilyn showed me this dress I've been wanting to try it, so when I found it on eBay for $29.99 (Retail $88) I had to buy it for her birthday. And of course I had to try it out first (just to make sure it was as awesome as it looks in the catalog) First of all, I apologize for my obvious novice-ness in modeling clothing. It took almost the whole time for me to realize that my hair was down and I was wearing white stockings. This is in the Twisted Front Halter. To style: 1. Step into dress with the top of the dress just under your bustline. 2. Cross the straps in front so that no hole is present. 3. Re-cross the straps in the back 4. Wrap then ends under the bustline and tuck in or knot the ends. The is my variation on the Strapless version. To style: 1. Step into dress with the top of the dress right above the bustline. 2. Cross both straps in front right on your bustline and continue wrapping in a crossing style under the bustline...

Maiko for a Day

Image
 On a super rainy July 1st in Kyoto, my friend Kasie and I made the trek from Kobe to partake in a time-honored gaijin (foreigner) tradition--getting dressed up as maiko and have our pictures taken. The experience overall was really enjoyable. There were 3 ladies rotating between the two of us to put on our makeup, the powders, lip and eye makeup, and the super red lipstick. After that, they gave us time to choose our own kimono from a selection of about 70. There were kimono of all different colors, patterns, and fabrics. I ultimately decided on a turquoise-green kimono with white flower accent, partially because my friend decided on a pink sakura and I didn't want to clash/contrast with her, and also because I knew that the background was black and I thought that the turquoise would pop. After picking the kimono, one of the lady assistants wrapped me in a red under-kimono and tightened everything up with some ties. They she looped around a red board (for flattening the bum...
