I was surprised when I found out that the Japanese celebrate Valentine's Day differently in Japan because it is only the women who give presents (mainly chocolates) to men on February 14. The Japanese women are usually the shy type and have a hard time expressing their feelings, therefore Valentine's Day is a great opportunity for them to do so. If you are the shy-type let our cover babe JL help you out with her tips on how to be irresistible to men (page 16)

As early as the end of January you will see stores filled with chocolates, since it is the preferred Valentine's Day gift by the Japanese women. These gifts vary in degree and meaning as they might be "Giri-choko" (obligation chocolate) - given to men such as bosses, officemates or male friends that women have no

WELCOME TO THE L VE M NTH

romantic interest in or just for friendship or gratitude. A "Honmei-choko" is the chocolate given to loved-ones and that special someone. Check out "Walang Basagan ng Trip" (page 11) as our in-house columnist PotPot tackles a love letter and gives advice about expressing your love for someone.

Men on the other hand are supposed to return the favor on March 14 which is called "White Day" a Japanese marketing creation - but in these case they can give any sort of gift and not just chocolates. This mutual obligation that the Japanese follow tend to bring the romance out of Valentine's Day, but for us Filipinos February is the "Love Month" and we go all out in showing our appreciation or our loved ones.

We give each other chocolates, roses, gifts or go travel to sweet destinations (page 14), go on movie dates, dinner dates or probably a WOD (work out date) for those who want to be fit and healthy (page 8)

Our February issue is filled with flowers, romance and fantasy. So cuddle up with your loved-one and enjoy this month's issue!

date,WOD stands for workout of the day. You can set a time for your WOD on that day (February 14) could be in the morning or any time of the day but make sure that it's before your Valentine's dinner date. Not only will you have a healthy workout but you can have fun doing this partner wod, I'm telling you this will be more challenging since it will put out the competitiveness in you and your partner. You can follow the exercise listed below, but make sure you are not going to push yourselves to the point of getting injured since the idea of this is to enjoy and have fun and not to hurt you or your partner.

4After the box jumps we move to a more advanced exercise called the "BURPEES", this is a combination of a push-up a squat and jumping jacks (to have a better understanding of the exercise check it out in "YOU TUBE". Then again after bothof you are done, write your scores add it up with the previous scores then by this time you can distinguish who has the higher

score,It's up to you what kind of bet you agree upon before the WOD so you can be more eager to do the exercise and win. Remember when there's competition there's motivation.

FOR 3 MINS

BOX JUMPS:3 MINS

BURPEES: 3 MINS

HEALTH & FITNESS

W.O.DT

his month's the time to spend with your special someone, for those who had the chance to read the last issue "New Year ,New Diet For A New You" I hope you have started on the "Paleo Diet"(Paleolithic Diet) and have seen results in

just a few weeks time. We will be takling more on Paleo Diet on the following issues but for now we should focus on making your love month a month to remember, let us not just celebrate Valentine's day on just having a dinner date but rather try to make a twist this year. Instead of just eating out on the 14th why not ask your partner to do a WOD

Don't forget to cooldown and stretch after. There you have it a short 12 minute WOD. I assure you that those 12 mins will be one of the hardest exercise you did in your lifetime, that is if you gave it your all,I am not trying to scare you or anything but I am just making you aware of what to expect. But I am sure this will be fun, what's important here is the time spent with your better half and the health benefits it can give to the two of you. I hope you enjoyed your first WOD and I hope you keep following my article. I will be explaining more about paleo diet on the following issues.

You are to count how many repetitions your partner can do for 3 minutes. After the 3 minute is up it's your time to do the jump rope for 3 mins. and your partners turn to count for you. After your round write your score. ( The score will be the total of repetitions done)

You are to count how many repetitions your partner can do for 3 minutes. After the 3 minute is up it's your time to do the jump rope for 3 mins. and your partners turn to count for you. After your round write your score. ( The score will be the total of repetitions done)

Again you are going to count for your partner, you can be sweet enough to assist by holding his feet so as not to have a hard time doing the sit ups, after 3 minutes again it's your turn to do the exercise. Again you will write the score adding it to the jump rope total.

TIPS FOR YOUR

Valentine's day always falls in winter. Meaning.... your skin looks dry

and dehydrated! But don't you worry honey because here are some tips on how to get your beautiful glow and fresh looking skin on your romantic date.

1. Be sure to exfoliate your lips with your favorite balm to make it smooth and kissable. If you are a lipstick lover, bring it and keep it in a small case with a mirror so you could retouch anytime you want to. Lipstick is good but some prefers to just use a tinted lip balm because it doesn't smudge and it lasts long.

2. Don't forget to moisturize both face and body. Avoid waxy formulas because sometimes their ingredients may not penetrate and make you feel greasy. Light scented moisturizers are better.

3. Give volume to your lashes. Apply at least 3 coats of mascara and let your tantalizing eyes stand out.

4. Tint your cheeks. A good blush will definitely make you look good. A cream formula looks the most natural. It goes on sheer, easy to blend and it lasts long.

5. Spray that favorite perfume and let your man go crazy. It's a major turn on to them. Be sure to smell lovely by spraying no more than two drops of perfume, three sprays of eu de parfum, and four hits of eau de toilette.

For the Valentine's Day makeup, just remember that it's all about the lips and lashes. For the eyeshadow try to make it as simple as possible. And lastly, flaunt that smile. It makes you more attractive.

Viola! You are so ready to be with your man. Enjoy your date gals. We hope you find our tips useful.

SEXY MOM OF THE MONTH

Our February Sexy Mom in Japan is known by the name of Majime - a Japanese word that means: “a person who is very hard working, diligent and serious”. Used as an

expression it may also mean someone who is too serious and somewhat dull because of this seriousness, but don't let this fool you as boring would be the last thing that comes to mind when you are with Maji - who is very friendly, outgoing and so far from being dull or too serious. TOUGH YET SWEET

Blessed with a pretty face and that irresistible sweet smile, it's no wonder a lot of people consider Maji to be a treasured friend and it pays to be one of her close friends as she is known to protect and fight for her friends.SIMPLE YET CLASSY

She has tons of kawaii costumes and clothes and loves to dress up whenever the occasion rises. It may seem she spends a lot of time looking pretty but the thing is Maji would sit down on the floor even if she is in high heels or in a dress. She is cool like that!SHY BUT OUTGOING

Majime loves meeting new people, she is usually shy in person, specially when you meet

her for the first time -but once she warms up to someone you will see her outgoing nature and immeasurable kindness which always leaves a long lasting impression on people’s heart SMART AND TALENTED THOUGH RESERVED

Maji loves writing poems and playing the guitar, her talents also include “UFO Catching” because whenever she drops by the game center you can bet that she will leave with a bag full of prizes.

She seems like an angel sent from above, yet flying low to reach out....

Can be as pure as Sunday morning, yet be as fun as Saturday night …

Can be your cure and your addiction.. Maji is our sweet contradiction

Love Thoughts“Take care of your heart.. the pain of the heart is far worse than the pain of the body.. for it

only takes but a short time for the body to heal, the heart can take a lifetime..”

Majime


Dear Charot,

Isa ako sa masugid mong tagahanga, ako nga pala si Sabel, 24 anyos at tubong

Bulacan. Nadiskubre ako ng aking manager noong sumali ako ng Binubuning Lakambini

ng Bulacan noong 2009 piyesta. First Runner-up lang ako pero ok lang, mukhang kabayo

naman yung nanalo at huli ko na rin naman nalaman na beauty pageant ito ng mga beki.

At least naka 1st runner-up pa ako sa kategorya nila.

Tatlong taon na akong nagtatrabaho dito sa Japan bilang isang talento, ng may

nakilala akong lalake, si Bruno. Matipuno si Bruno, humanga ako sa taglay niyang kisig

at tindig, na parang kahit banggain siya ng truck, yung truck ang masisira at tutupi.

Madalas niya akong dalawin sa aming bahay para mangumusta at makipag-usap tungkol

sa mga bagay-bagay. Hangang-hanga siya sa buhok ko dahil ang haba-haba daw nito at

ang bango-bango. Tinatanong niya ako kung ano ginagamit kong shampoo at conditioner,

sinabi ko na galing pinas pa ang ginagamit ko, Ariel with fabric conditioner at Joy

Ultrabac. Nahuhulog na ata ako sa kanya dahil kakaiba siyang makatitig, malagkit na

parang latik. Kakaiba siyang magsalita, mababa at buo. At sa tuwing nahahawakan ko

siya sa kamay, para itong bulak sa lambot.

Ilang linggo na rin kaming magkakilala ni Bruno ng may nakilala pa akong isang

lalake na agad nakuha ang aking atensyon, si Waldo. Kabaligtaran siya ni Bruno, si Waldo

ay tahimik, seryoso at mukhang matalino dahil lagi siyang nakasalamin at may hawak

na libro. Nagkakilala kami minsan nung nagkita kami sa game center at tinulungan niya

akong makuha yung paborito kong pink stuffed toy na pusa, si garfield. Kapag kami

naman ang magkasama ni Waldo, ang dami kong natututunan, tulad ng kung paano mag

manicure sa paa, magpafoot spa sa mukha at kung paano mag linis ng inodoro gamit ang

sepilyo. Ang sarap niyang kausap, lasang fried chicken lang sa sarap.

Isang araw, habang kasama ko si Waldo at nagchichikahan kami sa isang coffee shop,

bigla na lang dumating si Bruno, umuusok ang ilong sa galit! Sinigawan niya ako at

nagtanong, "Bakit may kasama kang iba?". Bago pa man ako makasagot, sumingit si

Waldo, sinabi niyang "Sandali, hayaan mo akong magpaliwanag". Nagulat ako ng biglang

sinampal ni Bruno si Waldo. Gumanti si Waldo at sinabunutan si Bruno ng walang

kaabog-abog. At habang pinapanood ko ang dalawang lalakeng nagpapatibok ng aking

puso na nagsasampalan, nagsasabunutan at nagkukurutan sa aking harapan, bigla akong

natauhan at isang tanong lang ang nais kong malaman...

Sino sa kanilang dalawa ang pipiliin ko para mahalin?

Nagmamahal,

Sabel

WALANG BASAGAN NG TRIP

Dear Sabel,

Ang una mo atang dapat gawin ay ipatingin ang mga mata mo, or better yet,

ang utak mo. Hindi ko alam kung makapal lang ang kalyo ng pakiramdam

mo dahil manhid ka, o sadyang nung nagsabog ng katangahan ang langit

ay sinalo mong lahat. Hindi mo ba nakikita na hindi ikaw ang gusto ng mga

lalakeng iyan. Habol lamang nila ay ang makakuha ng beauty tips dahil

nanalo kang first runner-up sa paligsahan ng may buntot sa harap. Kung ako

sa iyo, titigilan ko ng magpantasya dahil hindi naaayon ang beauty mong

nagmamaganda dahil mukha ka namang sumo wrestler. At tigilan mo nga

ako sa pinagsasabi mong 24 anyos ka lang, eh mukha ka ngang bouncer sa

karakas ng mukha mo. Ang payo ko ay tigilan ang kahibangan at bumalik ka

na lang sa Pinas para magtanim ng mais sa palayan.Lubos na gumagalang,Charot

Ang buhay ay parang life, kaya laging isipin na ang mahalaga ay ang

importante. Tandaan din na ang sacrifice ay pagsasakripisyo at ang pag-ibig

ay love. Hanggang sa muli! Happy Hearts Day sa mga nagmamahal at may

minamahal, at para naman sa walang pag-ibig, huwag maging "bitter",

kailangan mo lang maging "better". Paalam!

MMKMaala Mo Malala na

Kaya?

KYOTOThe LONG WEEKEND at

STRANDed IN JAPAN

The very first time I saw a glimpse of Kyoto was on a cigarette calendar. That was more than 3 decades ago. And when

I had the chance to go to Kyoto during a long weekend in October, I grabbed it right away. I took the 7-hour midnight bus, which I thought was a bad idea as it made me very sleepy the next day. I guess I won’t be in another midnight bus anytime soon, unless it has beds. Finally reached Kyoto around 7 am, immediately saw lots of locals and tourists holding a map of the city. I didn’t have any map so I applied my sumimasen-while-smiling method of asking for directions.

After a quick breakfast, I biked around Gion in hopes of seeing maikos and geishas but it wasn't just my lucky day. It is such a quiet place where old-style Japanese houses can be seen. As much as I wanted to see Gion at night, I wasn't able to do so.

Maybe next time.The next day, I started my trip as

early as possible. It was a long day. First stop was at Byodo-in Temple. Unfortunately for me again, it was being renovated. Another reason to visit Kyoto again next year.

I had a quick stop at Kyoto's oldest bridge, the Uji-bashi bridge. I may not seen any geishas the other day, but saw lots of locals in kimonos. It was like being in another era.

Visiting Kyoto won't be complete without visiting the famous golden temple known as Kinaku-ji. I expected it to be very crowded but going there was a bit of a challenge. The buses were always full and it was making me very impatient. But once I got there, the challenge was how to take photos with lots of tourists blocking the temple.

Forgetting to take my lunch, I headed to Fushimi Inari-taisha. The very moment I saw a shot of the

place in my friend's photo stream, I knew I had to go there. It was a long walk, and too bad I wasn't able to finished path leading to the shrine. Again, maybe next time.

Before the sun sets, I chase to visit yet another popular temple in Kyoto, the Kiyomizu-dera. I arrived too late that I failed to appreciate the place as it was getting dark already. But in case I'll visit Kyoto again, i'll see to it will be during autumn.

I think there's still lot to discover in Kyoto. But for the meantime, thanks for the memories and see you again, Kyoto. I still have some unfinished business with you.

WIN YOURMAN

WIN YOURMAN


Be goodYou will be unstoppable if you are nice to all. Be polite, be soft. These are the etiquette which you need to have. Know when to say thank you and when to say sorry. Laugh when required. Acknowledge wherever necessary. The good human in you will let others get close to you.

Speak nicelyIt is important to know how to speak. Speak in a polite way but know how to attract people. Know about the current affairs. This will also help you to talk to people. Increase your social circle. The more people you meet the better it is.

"Do not try to be

someone else."

Sense of humorLife is always full of tension. You will always feel attracted to people who makes you laugh. Having a good sense of humor is an added advantage. To attract men and to get irresistible, you need to have a good sense of humor. If you don’t have it naturally then you need to develop it. But make sure that you don’t crack unnecessary jokes and make fun of yourself.

Be yourselfDo not try to be someone else. This might create problem. Just be yourself. Your likes, dislikes and priority in life are important. Once you hold on to your principles in life you will be absolutely unique.

Cleanliness is equal to godliness

Cleanliness is a sign of feminism. You have to be extra careful in this case.

Look into the mirrorThe perfect look is important to get men attracted to you. Once you dress up in a way that you are looking perfect, you will automatically get a confidence. The confident look will add a spark in your personality.

is an honor and privilege for them and they hope to contribute more. Atty. Ragasa thanked GPFF Japan and its partners on behalf of the Governor.

Finally at the project site, the volunteers was surprised to see children lined up along the strait of the village entrance waiving Japan and Philippine flags. Shortly the unveiling ceremony of the Alllights Village Project Signage took place. Although there was slight rain showers the Japanese together with their counterpart families joyfully did a mango tree planting around the village, and afterward visited each of the families home. They were surprised by the Filipino hospitality as they received snacks and simple presents in return.

The most important part of the project was the giving of the solar lamps followed by the sisterhood ceremony between the Japanese and Filipino families. An

exchange of certificates signed by both parties and wonderful dance performances of the village children and parents filled everyone with the feeling of peace and one family. It was a beautiful moment when all lit their lamps all at the same time when the program reached its end just right before dawn. There were unending thanks and goodbyes as the volunteers were ushered to their bus by the families.

RayMer GK Village was said to have been in waiting for its village electrification but pending up to this date, therefore, the Alllights Village Project gave hope and substantial light in the homes. Interestingly these portable solar lamp worth US$100 is also capable for use as a radio, flashlight, a cellphone charger, and a USB hub for attachment of other small electronic devices helpful in times of emergencies such as typhoons, etc.

Alllights Japan

The Global Peace Festival Foundation Japan in partnership with Philippine Society of Japan Nagoya Chapter, Gawad Kalinga, Alpha Phi Omega,

and the Laguna Provincial Government, the first Philippines-Japan Alllights Village Project was realized. A group of 8 Japanese led by GPFF Japan President, Mr. Aya Goto and 15 Filipino volunteers came to RayMer Gawad Kalinga Village in Barangay Gatid, Santa Cruz, Laguna last December 27, 2012 and gave 60 solar-powered lamps to 58 beneficiary families residing in the village.

The Japanese volunteers stayed roughly three days starting December 26-28. They were accommodated in the quiet town of Rizal at the Rizal Recreational Center where they had orientation and project preparation.

Before proceeding to the project site the participants were invited in a welcome luncheon prepared by the Laguna Provincial Capitol. A short program was prepared by the provincial government which opened up a new partnership with GPFF Japan with the help of PSJNC, and GPFF Philippines. Provincial Administrator, Attorney Leonardo M. Ragasa, Jr., together with all their provincial departments heads welcomed the whole group and presented videos on the current and future developments of the province through Governor of Laguna, Hon. Jeorge E.R. Ejercito Estregan. In his message Mr. Goto has said that the project is Japan's way of giving back to Philippines support in the past March 11, 2011 tsunami-quake disaster. He added that doing the project

おいし！

あなたも税金の還付申請対象者！！知らない人と差がつく！　得する税金！？日本に住むフィリピン人、又は配偶者がフィリピン人の日本人は約９7%の方々に税金還付のチャンスが有るのを知っていますか！？皆さんは日本に住む外国人も日本人と同じように所得税と住民税の還付申請ができるという話をご存知ですか？日本で働き日本の所得税と住民税を納めていて母国の家族や親戚に援助を行っていれば、一定の条件のもとその行為が「扶養」と認められ、税法上の優遇すなわち「扶養控除」の適用を受けることができるのです。最長で所得税・住民税それぞれ5年分の納め過ぎた税金が還付されるということです。では実際どのくらいの税金が還付されるのでしょうか？還付される金額はあくまで支払った税金の範囲内で、それ以上になることはありません。しかしこれまで支払った税金の合計は意外と多額で還付予想額を算出すると皆さん非常に驚かれます。この制度適用は外国人のみならず、外国人を配偶者（フィリピン人等）にもつ日本人も配偶者の家族を扶養していれば適用されます。外国人と結婚した時点で配偶者の母国に住む配偶者の家族・親族も法的な「家族」となるのです。もちろん経済的な援助をすることで「扶養」となるわけですから、これを証明することが必要となります。還付申請を行う上で重要な注意点がありますので説明いたします。　＊日本人が申請する場合、扶養親族と認められるのは外国人配偶者の3親等以内の親族。　外国人が申請する場合、自分自身の6親等以内。　＊「扶養」とは扶養親族に経済的に援助（金銭・物品）していること。またそのことを証明する書類を提出できること。

一般的な質問事項＜＜Q & A＞＞

Q:　どれくらい還付されるの？A:　還付金は、申告者により異なります　還付の可能性と還付概算額等は、申請時に個々の書類を確認後に判明します。

Q:　還付されるまでの期間はどれくらい？A:　還付金額同様申告者の扶養状況により異なります。　最短で約２~３カ月、最長で約１年から１年半程かかる方も中にはいます。

Q:　手数料はどの位？A:　申告者により異なりますが、基本的には還付金額に対しての２０～２５％　　（グループ割引、リピーター割引あり）

Q:　ビザを持っていませんが、申告は可能？A:　超過滞在者（オーバーステイ）でも申告は可能ですが、申告には必ず外国人登録されていることが必須となります。

Q:　母国へ帰国する場合でも還付申告は可能ですか？A:　納税管理人や代理人を立てれば申告は可能です。

Q:　フィリピン人で現在は帰化して日本国籍ですが、申告は可能ですか？A:　帰化しても、家族が母国に在住し、扶養していれば可能です。

Q:　還付申告はフィリピン国籍ではなく他の国籍でも可能ですか？A:　申告の条件を満たしていれば可能です。

Q:　パートタイムで働いていても、還付申告は可能ですか？A:　納めた税金が有れば可能です。　未払いが有る場合は、還付申告により充当されます。

Q:　日本で１０年程働き、税金を納めていますが、全て申告すれば還付されますか？A:　所得税、住民税共に最長で過去５年となります。　５年以上の税金は還付対象外です。

実際に還付申請を行うためには、税務署・市区町村との対応・各種証明行為・言葉の違い等様々な問題が生じます。　自分自身で還付申告をすると、手続きが面倒、税務署へ何度も足を運ぶのは困難、また様々な難題、追加書類を納税者に依頼し、スムーズに還付処理がされないケースが多い。　また還付されても、本来還付される金額の一部分しか受け取れないといったケースもあります。株式会社ﾊﾟｼﾌｨｯｸ･ｷﾞｬﾗﾝﾃｨは長年の経験と豊富な知識とを持ち、信頼できる税理士とともに皆様の正当な権利を行使するお手伝いをいたします。　還付の可能性の有無、還付予定額、また委託手数料率を予め申請者に通知し、申請者は、内容を確認した上で還付申告をするか否かの判断が可能となります。　ここまでは、無料で対応しています。　株式会社パシフィック・ギャランティとの手続き、連絡手段は主に電話、Ｅメール、書類の郵送で行われます。　東京のみならず、日本各地から還付申告の依頼にフィリピン人、日本人スタッフ等が丁寧に対応しています。　この機会にまずは電話相談をしてみると良いでしょう。
