ne look at Elles and you would think that she is a fullblooded Japanese, but when you ask her about her favorite food - you’d be surprised that she’ll say SINIGANG. Born to a Japanese father and Filipina mother, Elles says she got most of her talent from her Filipina genes and was already dancing hiphop, jazz and classical ballet at a very young age. She studied in Los Angeles, USA but started dancing professionally when she was 18 years old and have served as backup dancer to famous Japanese artists such as Kaikigesshoku, Zeebra, jesse and X-Japan. She has also appeared on music videos and was even featured on Sony Ericsson’s X-Mini commercial on MTV Japan.

Elles is now concentrating on her pole dancing career and have shows in Tokyo - she is the main attraction at Club Tsuki a popular and one of a kind pole dance Philippine club in Hibarigaoka.

Club Tsuki in Hibarigaoka first opened it’s door in 2011, being the first Filipino club in Japan to offer Pole Dance performances for its “showtime”. The brainchild of Mama Eri - the owner and an avid pole dancing fanatic, she conceptualized a different kind of Philippine omise that differs from the other Philippine clubs who have the usual song and dance numbers for their showtime.

It was hard for Mama Eri to find Filipinas in Japan who knew how to pole dance, so her first employees in her club was her students as well and she had to train them all in the art of pole dancing.

The club is now celebrating their renewal opening and is now showcasing the popular Japinay pole dancer - Elles Yamaguchi.

If you are interested in learning more about the art of pole dancing or interested to work at Club Tsuki you can visit their place in Hibarigaoka or call Mama Eri at 042-421-1605 / 090-7940-1991

PAIN WITH

GRAINS

WORDS CHRIS RAYMUND I. FERNANDEZ Taekwondo Instructior and Crossfitter

G

luten (from Latin gluten, "glue") is a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grain species, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Gluten may also be found in some cosmetics, hair products, and other dermatological preparations.

We grew up in a world which is highly dependent on gluten rich foods, if we are to check our diet since we were born, we would be disapointed to know that we have been living an unhealthy lifestyle. Good thing that today's studies on certain "used to be healthy food" are now categorized as unhealthy. And one of them are in grains and wheat products called "Gluten".

Here is the reason why we have to avoid Gluten.

The gluten molecules irritate and attack your epithelial cells (the ones on the inside of your small intestines).

This irritation causes your tight junctions the space between your intestinal cells to widen. In some cases, gluten also directly attacks your cells.

Gluten, bacteria, and undigested food particles sneak through these gaps between your cells and into your bloodstream.

Once gluten enter your bloodstream, your body mounts an inflammatory response.

This inflammation spreads throughout your body, wreaking havoc on your health.

Theoretically, if you eat gluten on a regular basis, your gut and body stay inflamed, and you develop an increased risk of the following:

-Autoimmune diseases like arthritis -Abdominal Bloating -Abnormal Stools -Calcium Metabolism Disturbance -Constipation -Flatulence -Intestinal Malabsorption -Muscle Wasting -Poor Appetite or Irritability -Impaired Growth -Iron-Deficiency Anemia -Long term gut dammag -Offensive Stools and Subtle Cramps -Poor Muscle Tone (Hypotonia) -Recurrent Oral Ulcer -Severe Weight Loss

smudged out all over the place.

It happens a lot during summer.

After priming apply a copper or bronzey eyeliner all over your eyelids and blend it with your finger or your blending brush (it will also act as your base).

To make your lashes stand out a little since your skin is tan and hard to see them, try a coat of mascara.

For the cheeks. We used peach blush and a shimmer bronzer/highlighter to give a healthy glow.

Sa panahon ngayon, hindi na uso ang pala-gastos. Kesyo mayaman ka sa utang o mahirap kang pakisamahan, lahat tayo ay kinakailangang magtipid. Narito ang ilang mga tips na pwede nating gawin para maging MAS matipid tayo sa pang araw-araw.

Pagtitipid sa Tubig

1. Imbes na idura an g huling mumog sa pagsisipilyo, siguraduhing luniki n ito. Mayaman ito sa ride na nakabubuti sa katawa n, at minty flavor pa ito.

2. Ang pinagbanlaw an ng medyas ay ma aaring gawing pansabaw sa tinola o sinigang. Ang kara gdagang asim at alat na galing sa me dyas ang magpapasar ap sa lutuin.

3. Kapag naliligo, gu mamit ng batya par a masalo ang tubig na pinangbuhos sa ka tawan. Pagkatapos ay ibalik sa drum para magamit ng sus unod na maliligo.

4. Ang pinagsabunan sa labahan ay pwede ng ipunin para pwedeng pangbuhos sa indoor. Huwag lan g kalimutang ikula ang inodoro pagkatapos gamitin ang tubig na pinaghugasan ng da mit.

sa Kumaryruenonngtemagkabit ng Pagtiaptingpid kapitbahay na

1. Maghan “jumper”. hay ng sa gayon sa mayamang kapitba 2. Makipag-kaibigan g flat sceen TV. ood sa malaki nilan ay pwede kang makin sion cord na ten ng mahabang ex 3. Matutong gumawa gamitin ng at k ksa kapitbahay. Isa aabot sa outlet ng walang humpay. f.. siguraduhing a at ikandado ang re 4. Puluputan ng kaden gay ng log gla ma at o g pagbukas nit every week lang an magbubukas ng ang mapangahas na sheet kung sino man kalachuchi at patiwarik sa puno ng wala sa araw.. ibitin parusa sa g an bil ili oil ang kili-k nt sce ica eff ng n ya lag ng ref. ginawang pagbukas

Pagtitipid sa Pamasahe

1. Maghanap ng syotang may sasakyan at araw -araw magpasundo’t hatid.

2. Magnakaw ng uniporme ng mga tagalinis sa tren.

Magpagawa rin ng pekeng ID para hindi ka na bibili ng ticket bagkus ay gamitin ang “entrance” ng mga staff.

3. Magpagawa ng pekeng school ID para magkaroo n ng discount sa mga sasakyan.

4. Magnenok ng bisikletang walang lock.

Eto lang ang ibang tips na pwede nating gawin kung makapal ang mukha natin o di kaya ay hindi tayo tao. Siguraduhin magkaroon ng bukas na isipan at ‘wag kalimutang lahat ng sinasabi ko dito ay 100% effective with 99% failure rate.Kayo ba? May alam ba kayong kalokohan paraan sa pagtitipid? Laging tandaan, walang basagan ng trip!!

STRANDed in JAPAN

Hamaorisai Festival

H

amaorisai Festival is one of the most anticipated festivals in Japan as it signals the start of the summer season. The ceremony begins before the sun rises and ends around 9 am.

I stayed at my friend's place the night before, took the first train and still arrived late (and even thought of missing the main event). I and a group of friends joined the hundreds of Japanese and foreigners who troop down to Chigasaki Beach to be a part of the sacred spectacle.

Few minutes before the sun displays its rays, spectators, hobbyists and photographers already position themselves to decent spots to capture and document the event. No one cared how hot the sun’s breath was. Everyone wants to have a clear view of the event as it unfolds. As simple as that.

A ritual was held to sanctify all the participants for a good and prosperous year to come. This was done before the mikoshis (portable shrines) are carried to the ocean by the devotees. Though I didn't understand the entirety of the ceremony, as it was in Japanese, I can certainly feel its purpose and intent.

After receiving the well-deserved blessings, devotees carried their mikoshis to the sea as a way of purification. It looks so easy on photos but it takes strength, determination and patience to successfully challenge the weight as well as the waves that are coming along the way. But despite of the physical difficulties and struggles, each face of the disciple exudes an aura of contentment WORDS & PHOTOGRAPHY TOTOMAI www.totomai.net

Jen is such an expert on the

hula-hoop

that she has

already upgraded to a

1.5 kilo

hoop.

year old Jennifer Ishida is proud to say that she is a fulltime mom to 2 baby boys. She enjoys taking care of her family and takes advantage of the “stressful” situation by incorporating her exercise routine with her daily chores. “I love cooking for my husband and kids, I make it a point to prepare their favorite dishes every time. Mahirap but its all worth it” When she gave birth to her youngest son 11 months ago, Jen promised that she will gain back her figure by eating right and she was able to with the help of her favorite drink: Green Tea: “I’m a green tea addict! I feel it helps in my digestion and they say its a natural antioxidant”.

Unlike most of us who go to the gym to lift weights or do cardio exercises Jen has a different approach when it comes to exercising and burning off those calories - The Hula Hoop! She does the usual situps, squats but spends most of her time doing the hula hoop: “I do hula-hoop wherenever I have time, like when I am watching TV or waiting for my laundry.” Jen is such an expert on the hulahoop that she has already upgraded to a 1.5 kilo hoop.

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。

Naoji Kitaoka, President & CEO

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。

Philippine Staff of PG&Co. ready to help you

PG& Co. multi-cultural staff ready to assist you in any language.

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。
