... and nothing but the TOOTH!

My online buddy, Mags posted this wonderful short about the tooth fairy.

The Truth About Tooth - directed by Hazel Baillie

I remember that the only reason I keep my tooth under my pillow is because I anxiously try to dislodge a loose one with my tongue at bedtime. I keep it under my pillow so I can take a pretty good look at it, first thing in the morning.

Fished out of my Facebook wall, from a friend... nakaka-aliw panoorin!

The director says:
"This is my senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its. Here is the making of : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArJYva...

100,000,000 PHP

Blogger's off for maintenance and I am still on holiday, mouth still wired shut but will definitely recover from laryngitis or else I will be stuck with a voice that would be great at karaoke singing AH LUV ROK N ROL!
Tomorrow's the Dream Jumbo Lotto Draw, and I sure did buy a couple of tickets. I would not be winning this one, re the odds considering Japan's population of about 127,000,000 and considering the aging population of about 25% and the current economic situation, expect a lot of ticket holders!

What to do with the prize money? Would you change your FB status to.. "I JUST WON 2M US$!" or quietly disappear and just suddenly post in FB photos of yourself on a yacht (yours of course) somewhere?

Here's the breakdown: (the whole bloody lot is tax-free!)

100,000,000 PHP X 1 lucky bastard
25M PHP X 2 instant millionaires who'd have instant friends as well
49,000 PHP X 199 who'd host a Baranggay party, but would not be responsible for any llives lost...
49,000,000 PHP X 3 who'd fear for their lives, yes you would if you live in Manila and word breaks out!
4,900,000 PHP X 10 who'd be the next Baranggay Captain, or heck... the ALL HAIL THE Congressperson in the upcoming elections!
5,000 PHP X 10,000 mall invaders
1,500 PHP X 100,000 who'd pay some petty dues
150 PHP X 1M happy texters

The lottery's real here and some of the big time winners have published self-help books on how to cope with one's sudden change of fortune. Someone told me recently, "better get a new job"... which makes perfect sense too, huh?!

Oh well then, I'll be sending out my resume soon but will be checking tomorrow's results as well.

I ♥ this penguin.

My Nihongo lessons are taking a 3-week break as my sensei is on a long vacation. I just loove my sensei, I do feel so guilty when I show up without my homework so I've really made it a point to put time in studying Nihonggo.

Considering that three weeks off is a pretty looong break, I've slacked-off at study. Alas, something from sensei was in the mail! It was a blank diary and on a really cool Foujita postcard she wrote, " How's your condition now? I'd like to give you this for the three-week break... Please write a diary if you have time during my holiday. See you on the 20th."

I've got 3 entries so far and today I'll work on the "backlog". I'll be writing about this manga series I've been into lately. I've ditched the "Death Note" series since it was quite depressing to read about people dying all the time in this season. I'll reserve this one for wintertime.

Meet Kinoshita Beckham, a penguin! This is a surreal trip to an elementary school, with a penguin (Beckham) and a boy (Naoto). There's already a TV anime and now a movie in the works! This manga is really funny and it got me giggling to myself at a cafe lately... C was so curious and started reading a bit, and said this was definitely what elementary grade-schoolers would enjoy reading!

Malalaman mong nasa Japan ka na kapag ang pinalalabas sa sinehan ay full-length movies ng One Piece, Doraemon, Pokemon, Gundam, Tamagotchi at ito!

Oh my Goth!

Lazy weekend, partly due to my condition. I'm still recovering from laryngitis, so I'd better wire my mouth shut during the weekend. Been noisy at Facebook all day though.

Summer's nearly here, cosplayers will have to withstand the sweltering heat in their cos while playing at Akihabara. And the Harajuku Goths... well, I stumbled onto a website from a Coilhouse article and it's neatly titled "Goths In Hot Weather ©"

I'm sure you have one goth you'd love to post up there! I know a wannabegoth I'd rate a 2 for Gothiness and a 20 for Sweatiness... the perfect partner for the "51st Sweat" goth or the dripping goth at Tales of Woe!

What goth kind are you? Sweatiness?
