Cherry Blossoms in Japan

Wanderlust March 24, 2020 0

This is nothing like Nakameguro and Ueno Sakura display but it’s the best we can do and yeah not really complaining. This place is very near our house so we don’t really have a problem coming here anytime and I think mom and I did a photoshoot three different times which is great because you know, three different blooming time or whatever. I’m gonna post photos in order for better visualization. Or not. LOL.

Sakura

Staged Candid

Not really at its prime yet.

I actually think that this is UME but my mom was very sure that this is Sakura and there was a point where we were arguing and she literally asked the passerby and the guy was like, SAKURA. Damn it. I know this is not the real Sakura though. Maybe some kind of Sakura but not the Hanami kind of Sakura. Well it might be that too.

What do you think of my mermaid dress, guys? My mom was like, you should wear something else every time I try to put it on. I like it. I mean, it’s kinda heavy and wrinkly but I like it.

It rained when we went this time. I was kinda worried that it will ruin the bloom and stuff but also thankful that I already took loads of pictures the last time. Some of the photos I kinda edited some I can’t really be bothered editing so I leave it all to you guys.

How awesome is this portrait I took of my mom? My mom took a photo of me in portrait setting and it was a massive fail it’s hilarious. I won’t show you because it will ruin my non existent reputation. My skill though is okay, yeah? Yeah.

I can’t really tell what point was the flowers are at its best but they were pretty at any point so really thankful and blessed that I get to see them many many times.

That is all guys! Thank you so much!

Old Friends

Kid at heart

Dad’s friend dropped us near here and because we were kind of early still, we went to the nearest 7/11 first, then Lawson, and kind of passed by this playground. I mean, nothing much. Just stopped by to take Insta photos.

I can’t explain how thankful I am of this fam. So it’s just right to pay them a visit, right? Also, my boy Tora is just so big now! I’m surprised he still remembers me. I mean, like he still remembers our closeness and stuff. He wasn’t a bit shy when he saw me.

I don’t really have much to say. It’s been more than a year since I saw them and stuff. Loads of catching up happened and yeah, this is my family away from family when I was in Japan. Forever grateful!

Sagamiono Station

We took some photos at the station and normally, I wouldn’t but yeah I don’t really know when I’ll be back again so I took some with the mother dear. That’s about how our day went. A day well spent if you ask me. Adios!

My Beloved Japan

I admit. I thought I wouldn’t be back for a while but goodness gracious it was good to be back for a while. I was in Japan for 12 days and man, it was awesome! Couldn’t be any better. Actually it could! I wish my sisters were with us. I went with my mom to take care of errands and stuff and overall, I would say it was a very productive trip considering.

Our first day was the busiest I guess. We went straight to the city pension office and got to finish what we needed to (in a way). I won’t really tell you what we did there because 1, it’s boring, and 2, I don’t really know how to translate it properly myself so better not say anything, right? But it has something to do with my dad passing away and the pension has to be transfererred to my mom. Yup. It was a lucky day for us because having told that the next available schedule is in 3 weeks, we were able to finish the whole thing in like 3 hourd I guess. Thank you, Japanese Peeps for being so helpful and efficient. Anyways, after the long day, we ate at Volk’s! My first real Japanese food in a while. To be fair though, Volk’s isn’t even Japanese but oh well. It was delicious!

SAKURA

We went to the supermarket and found these gorgeous line up of trees. I mean, it was still the early part of our trip though so I knew I had to be back there to take pictures but I took a picture anyway just in case.

GO-TO Saize Order

MELON SODA

CHICKEN!

The next day, we met up with mom’s long long time friend, tita Analou and we ate at Saizeriya. It was the best!! I drank a lot of Melon Soda there if you ask me. Gah I missed Saizeriya.
