{{ MAYLINE YAMAUCHI

is a 32 year old manager of a place called Snack Tambayan located in Katsuta. She is originally from the Philippines. But because of the need for greener pastures, she decided to emigrate to Japan at the age of 19. She worked as a part time model with various local photographers.

She also works full time handling and managing a small restaurant. During her free time, she enjoys unwinding by going around the city and checking out some tourist attractions. But mostly she enjoys shopping for items from bags to clothes, including any adornments that will look good on her. She is also a fan of gadgets, and loves to be updated on the latest technological trends. Her lifelong dream is to one day have enough savings to go back to the Philippines to start a new life, and especially to start her own family.

But for now, she enjoys what she has.

Mayline would love to continue doing it until she fulfils her dream of going back PHOTOGRAPHY JOHN KEVIN RAMA

WHY WE NEED N I E T PRO WORDS CHRIS RAYMUND I. FERNANDEZ Taekwondo Instructior and Crossfitter

P

rotein is one of the most important part of our diet, it helps repair damaged tissues and sore muscles after an intense workout. Men need more protein intake than women but that does not excuse women to load up on protein. We often hear girls say I don't want to drink protein,or I don't need protein because protein will make me big,muscular and bulky. But the truth is an average, adult women require approximately 46 grams of protein every day and this can go higher depending on their daily activity. They will need more if they are doing weight training or if they are into sports, pregnant and lactating women need even more protein up to 71 grams every day. While an average man needs 56 grams of protein a day, But this can go up to 140 grams of protein if they are working out 5-6 times a week 2-3 hours a day,that may vary depending on their weight.

Here are some of the best protein sourced food that you may want to look for when trying to go lean and sexy:

1. Eggs- as we all know eggs are

loaded with protein just go easy on the yolk if you are trying to cut down on cholesterol but remember not to eliminate yolks totally. and they are also a good source of protein specially the breast part,but try to avoid and eliminate the skin because you don't need excess cholesterol.

3. Seafood- Seafood is one of the best sources of protein, as it’s usually low in fat. Fish like salmon and tuna are actually higher in fat, but because it’s the heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids, enjoy eating it in moderation.

fat products that not only have a substantial amount of protein, but also calcium to keep bones healthy and strong. Incorporate yogurt or milk into your breakfast routine or have low fat cheese and crackers as an afternoon snack.

5. Beans - A half a cup of beans has

as much protein as 3 ounces of broiled steak. Beans are loaded with fiber and will keep you feeling full for hours.

day can lower you cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease. If you are a vegetarian, try soy protein with tofu for a healthy, low fat diet.

2.Chicken -yes eggs comes from chicken

4. Dairy - Choose skim or low

6. Soy -25 grams of soy protein per

1st

Anniversary Issue

7. Lean Beef -Lean beef only has

one more gram of saturated fat than skinless chicken breast, plus it provides the added bonus of vitamins such as zinc, iron and B12.

If you are still having trouble adding protein rich foods into your diet, try getting it from other sources like meal replacement drinks (whey protein shakes) and energy bars.

Just be sure to read the label, as some are not as healthy as they claim to be. Be sure that the drink or bar has at least six grams of protein and is low in sugar and fat.

While protein is an important part of a healthy diet, always be careful not to consume too much of one thing. Too much protein can be converted to fat and stored in the body. The average adult needs about half a gram of protein per pound of healthy weight. Any diet which requires you to a high amount of one nutrient is not wise. A good balance of essential nutrients is key to good health and staying fit.

aniniwala ako na ang lahat ng tao sa mundo ay may potential na maging isang mahusay na modelo. Hindi mo na kailangang magkaroon ng magandang mukha o sexy na katawan. Ang kailangan mo lang ay tigas ng mukha, kapal ng apog, iilang bakokang sa binti at peklat sa kanang braso na galing sa bakuna noong ikaw ay sipunin pa.

Kung tutuusin, automatic ang response natin kapag may camera na tatapat sa pagmumukha natin.

or once, I felt like I am stranded in a fantasy world. Lost in a labyrinth and surrounded by characters I usually see in televisions and sometimes in dreams. Kawasaki is transformed to a fantasy world during the Halloween Parade. It is becoming a sort of personal devotion that even a headache couldn’t stop me from going.

The event is held during the last Sunday of October and since I am always free on Sundays, I don’t have any reason to skip the spectacular costume parade.

The parade usually starts at 1430H but I always arrive at the venue 1-2 hours earlier. This would give me enough time to take cool portraits of the participants dressed in outrageous Halloween outfits and painted with exaggerated make-ups.

Each year they show-off their creativity and I must say they don’t disappoint.

Sometimes I wonder how much time and money they spend in order to put their ideas to life. While the place is turning into a multihued concrete kingdom, I start my shooting spree. Even the spectators were not exempted.

It’s difficult to exactly classify their costumes. At first, when I heard of Halloween Parade, I thought everyone’s donning scary, gory and creepy stuff only.

I was wrong. Some are into mythical characters. Daytime fantasies. Cosplay.

Name it. You got it. I particularly like this type of characters. They are pleasing and light to the eyes. Kawaii desho?

Of course, the parade is not complete without the traditional skeletons, monsters, vampires and zombies of the underworld.

Honestly, I find them difficult to shoot, but I guess they are still interesting and oftentimes, crowd favorites.

For couple of hours, I kept on changing lens if I am not satisfied with my shots or moved from one area to another. I tried to squeeze in my body in the crowd and didn’t care about anything and anyone.

On my own. It was a festive atmosphere and I’m glad I went there. Definitely, no regrets.

I have been promoting this event to my friends and fellow photo enthusiasts over the years. By the way, anyone can dress up and join the parade. This is not only open to Japanese but also to foreigners and, believe it or not, pets.

I just realized that fantasy is not always in dreams. It can be real for a minute or two.

his 21 year old cover model beauty from Tokyo, by the name of Naomi Takahashi, was born on October 31, 1991. She highly regards New York City as well as Los Angeles. Her birthday is also the day those cities' residents, as well as other Americans, celebrate spooks and spirits of Halloween. But there is nothing ghostly about Naomi.

She, like the other Japanese around her, will have recently encountered evidence of the Obon Festival instead. Although she knows a bit of Tagalog, she is of course fluent in the Japanese languages. She loves both Filipino and Japanese foods. Some notables feel that lovely Naomi bears much more than a passing resemblance to stunning Miss World Philippines beauty Megan Young. WIth her substantially attractive persona, fashions and versatility, Naomi is sure to continue to make a favorable lasting impression on those she encounters.

verything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone choose it. I own everything about me; my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whatever they mean to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, and my fears. I own my triumphs, successes, and all my failures and mistakes.

I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and that there are other aspects which I do not know.

But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles, and for ways to find out more about myself.

However I look and sound, whatever I say or do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time, is authentically myself. If later, some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt, turn out to be unfitting, I will keep the rest. Â I'll invent something out me ...I own everything ab new to replace that which y dreams, I own my fantasies, m s...

I discarded. I can see, hear, my hopes, and my fear feel, think, say and do things.

I have the tools to survive. to be close to others, and to be productive. I have the ability to make sense and order out of the world of people and things around me. I own myself and therefore, I can engineer myself. I AM ME AND I AM OKAY.

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。
