Rascist Eraser

My 16 year old cousin just returned upon her trip to Paaralang Pantao in Quezon City, Philippines. Paaralang Pantao is a free school at the foot of Garbage Mountain and the children around this area are deprived of opportunities and live in poverty. Apparently many of them don't even have a birth certificate.

While I was worried about the 17 year old having to breathe in methane-filled gases in the air, and getting bitten from dengue mosqutioes, among other things, I am glad that she's learned how to bathe, shyt and be, au naturale. Next time Î shall take her camping in the jungles of Sri Lanka.

Anyways, she took awesome pictures and I came across a little picture of those 10cents eraser that we used to have in primary school in Singapore. They measure 3cm x 2cm and there is usually an alphabet with a picture of a word that begins with that letter. Like "A" and then a picture of an apple. However, this eraser on the other hand...

I feel guilty for finding it endearing.

Gear Up!

We were walkin' around town today, gearing up for the winter. I lost my scarf last night at the club, and my freakin' gloves have a hole, and it's pretty much jacked up. So I was on a mission to be looking for awesome winter gear. We came across this horrendous, freaky looking, galfanoid earmuffs. Who the F would wear that? It's so freaky!!!

Suicidal?

OMFG. So apparently suicide rates are increasing in Japan. I wonder why?



Well if it's kawaii, then it's gotta be good! Yay!

Panty!

One of my cousins who is flying in today from South America is determined to look for that famed underwear vending machine in god-knows-where. My gut instinct tells me it is to be found in Shinjuku. But then again, who needs that when you have this? Who knows what the story is behind this. But I saw it on my way home from work in the neighborhood mall, bicycle parking area. People of course did their mini little jump, twist around and jumped again to overreact to what they saw. But I just whipped out my phone and snapped a picture. Brilliant.

Pet Kotatsu

I guess I totally know what to get my cats for xxx'mas this year! The totally awesome Pet Dream Kotatsu! Deluxe version, can you imagine!?!? This means, I get to sit down and spread my legs under the kotatsu much more comfortably and not share any of the heat in winter that I call brutal. This also means a step closer to independence for my kitties.

Now, that would be the case if I believed in giving xxx'mas presents to pets.

Butt Crack Detector

So reading one of my favorite blogs izreloaded, I came across his post which talks about the butt crack detector. It is a hip pack that you can wear and it vibrates when your butt crack is exposed. A photoresistor to light is exposed and it triggers a motor to start vibrating to warn you of your semi-indecent exposure. I'm sure we've all experienced this moment at least once, while others have experienced the embarrassing moments of having a picture of our butt cracks taken. 

Names

At this week's Eiken grading session, we came across a bunch of crazy names. Total funniness.

1. 大根　さらだ

Radish Salad.

2. 満子

Finally, some of you might have already seen this. But here is the ID card of this Singaporean/Javanese kid who was arrested.

Batman Bin Suparman
Batman son of Superman???

Virtual Reality

I heard a piece o' crazy news today. So a 43 year old woman was jailed for "killing" her virtual husband. Apparently she was suddenly divorced without any reason and she was so enraged that she broke into his account, and killed his digital persona. The interactive game is called "Maple Story". Intrigued I am.
