SHIKIMIKIE

Conveniently just 15 minutes away from work, I decided to go after my shift and was left in surprise with what I saw. Well nothing there yet when I arrived because it's quite early but you get the point. When the clock chimed at 5pm, everything suddenly turned pink. It was magical. 

Meguro Gawa Minna no Illumination 

Pink Lights 

Supposed to look like Sakura trees and it did not fail. Loved its water reflection even. 

I'm sure professional photographers would just laugh at the shot above but I was quite impressed with this little failure to focus shot as I would like to call it. 

I felt like a princess walking around her own garden for a sec. 

I actually wonder if they're Sakura trees.  I bet it's just as beautiful during Spring. I should be back! 

Fairy tale-ish trail. I was impressed with this place because you know, very quiet because for some reason, one little thing I hate about Tokyo is that it's kind of touristy and I find it really hard to breathe sometimes and maybe I don't make sense (just because) but yeah this place is really subtle and peaceful and not crowded at all! Ciao! 

Sea of Blue

Last 2 years, I promised I'd go to illuminations. I actually thought I wouldn't be able to but with a little more determination, I managed to somehow sneak in! Last year was kind of fail (in general that is) but anyways, this year and early next year will be nothing but memorable.

Crowded!!! It's a fairytale venue with lots of prince and princesses so it's hard to feel like the only jewel in this one. 

 This was actually the easiest place to go to since it's like a 10 minute walk from work. 

 It's rather a short track but nonetheless beautiful. Kind of hard to take selfie though. The lights make you look like Avatar or something.

That's all! Ciao!

Fall 2016

This is gonna be more of a picture post because you know, don't really have anything to say except I like fall!!!

gorgeous color 

I didn't go to many places to see the trees, autumn leaves and all that. Although I really wish I did. I know how annoying it can be that I really say that all the time and I know this is lame excuse but I will try harder next year. 

hang on there sunshine

So there's that. We're almost ready for winter aren't we? I guess Illumination posts are coming up! Well, hopefully. LOL. Ciao!

lips darker than my soul 

Harajuku. For some reason, it's growing on me. I remember just being neutral about it. I kind of like it now. Also, I don't really have much choice but to like it. This was when I had the job interview for my now part-time job in Harajuku. All went well obvi.
