Tokyo Tower is Love

December 12, 2015 0
Tokyo Tower is Love

 





We finally did it. We went to Tokyo Tower because I told Bry that it's been ages since I last went so after we watched the Hunger Games, we went to TT.










For some reason, I know I have been here but I definitely have no memory of it whatsoever. 










I don't know if it's like an everyday thing but when we went, they were having this food bazaar that we fully enjoyed. 










Beautiful. I told Bry that if I see The Eiffel Tower I might cry. 










We weren't able to take pictures of all the food so bare with me. What I'm eating here is grilled saba which was awesome! I think it's like 350/piece and like 1000/3 pieces but the man selling was kind enough to give us 2 each for the price of one. Awesome sauce.










We also had this dashi udon which was nice because it was chilly that day. They come with daicon sushi which we survived to eat. Not really our cup of tea. I had to force Bry to eat his sushi. We also had karaage, grilled chicken, and taiyaki. So as you may know, we had a full stomach before we even go up. 










It was rather a quick line up but yeah it was really crowded. 










They should have a veranda where you can just lay down, drink wine, and stuff. I think that would be a great idea. 










I think we were able to see everything that night. We were stopping at like every 5 windows or so to check out the view. 










We also went up the special observatory because why not? 










My companion.










People were getting crazy over this glass thing. It's not that scary as it is but I guess they were scared of what might happen but you know, chill. A child even jumped really hard on this and the staff was just like looking like he doesn't give a f. Bry even jumped and you know might have caused panic to some. But you know guys, they wouldn't put it there if it is dangerous. 










They have this One Piece thing going on. Not a fan. 







Tokyo Tower Selfie










Souvenir for the night. Quite amazed at this. I suggest you getting this and hopefully you see that uncle staff which will tell you you're beautiful (in your own language). Ciao!

Taking Over Yamashita Koen. 5.11.15

Taking Over Yamashita Koen. 5.11.15

Lots of pictures!!! I went to Yamashita Koen as recommended by an auntie and it was awesome!













I was informed that the roses were in full bloom so I was like, since I don't really have anything to do, why not go? 












Mind you I actually walked from Sakuragicho Station to Yamashita koen and I tell you it is not near. I actually thought they were just side by side. Meh. Most of the buildings on the way to the park are vintage looking though so it was kind of nice to look at.  My kind of view. 










The port










Overlooking Sakuragicho 










Awesome flower










Pink Roses












Selfie with Red Roses










The fountain










I don't know but this I think is the main attraction of the park already. Like, if it's not rose season, I think this is the only nice part of the park. 










Can I just share something? I therefore conclude that I don't really have much luck with cameras. Like, I brought my DSLR with me, right? Before I actually leave the house, I grabbed my DigiCam from the counter out of I don't know, reflex. Then when I arrived at the park, I saw that there's no memory card in my DSLR. Then I realized that my DigiCam has memory card. Ha! I outsmarted my bad luck. Hahaha










Awesome vines. 










Red and White Roses










Okay so let's just continue with my bad luck on cameras. After taking some shots with my DSLR, no more power. Meh! Then I have to return the memory card to its original owner. Oh well! 










The flowers were so pretty! :)










Flowers and Yokohama Marine Tower










Huge Pink Roses












Crimson Red Roses to die for.










The ship is sailing!










In love with the view












Already leaving :(












Then I stopped by Jonathan's to eat dinner and I had this Mexican Chicken Rice kind of thing. 










I was actually supposed to stop by Sakuragicho to eat crepe but it was too windy/chilly and I totally regretted not bringing some scarf/jacket but anyways, I went straight home instead.

Robbers on the Loose?

Robbers on the Loose?






Recently, we've been robbed. Not me actually. Dad. His peso and dollar bills were stolen when he went out to ran some errands. How likely. I bet these guys (or guy) knew dad arrived because for so long, the house was shut with multiple screens and stuff and so when he arrived, he opened everything leaving only the windows exposed. Am I making sense here? Yeah. Dad said he noticed the windows broken so he immediately searched for "what's missing" and found out that the money was gone. Too bad. We reckon that the culprit/s is/are foreigners. We're judgmental, I know. But I mean, it could be anyone, really. But you know. 





Whenever I get asked about how Japan is like, I would always say, it's safe. Then I tell them stories like how we can actually leave the door unlocked at night and stuff. But you know, apparently that was only applicable 10 years ago. Now this kind of things can happen. One time an auntie's bicycle seat was stolen and the bicycle itself was found approximately 500 meters away from where it was parked. Then not so long after that, the bicycle went missing and then it was found approximately 3 kilometers away from where it was parked. Insane!! Rude! Also, the same auntie was shopping in a supermarket and after she checked out, placed her stuff in her bicycle's basket thing, she realized she forgot something so she quickly went back in the super leaving her stuff behind and when she came out, voila! Gone. 





Well Japan might still be safer than other countries and I'm still thankful that I live here but it's definitely not as safe as it was before. Bad things do happen now. Sad. I mean, I hope these kind of things would stop and may we all just leave in peace. 





Anyways speaking of broken glasses, I realized I haven't broken an iPhone screen yet. Next to my sisters (and cousin), I'm probably the most burara person that I know so with that status, ideally I should have broken 2/4 of my iPhone screens but no. It turns out I'm not really burara hahaha take that mom. Totally irrelevant. 





With that being said, always take care! Wherever you may be.

Thief's Downfall | Azaleas

Thief's Downfall | Azaleas






One fine day after work, one of our leaders asked us if we would like to come with her to take pictures of/with beautiful flowers. I was like, bring it on! 










Such gorgeous place. Can I just say that this is a private place and our leader actually didn't know until the owner came out and then we were informed that it is a private garden and we were welcomed. She also said that she always go here every year and take pictures but didn't know anything until that time. 

















The Azalea's weren't full yet but it was gorgeous nonetheless. 











We then went up the hill which is also his property. Like, what? I want to own a hill as well. 











It was still early that day and I was able to witness sunrise which is one of my stress relievers.










Pink Azalea












Two days after that, we decided to go back and it was prettier that time. 












Fishies :) 










With an auntie










Why, peace! 











Fuchsia Azalea 













Can we just appreciate this beauty? The owner pointed that he designed it to look like falls and it was so pretty. It's admirable how he was able to do all that stuff. For some reason, looking at it reminds me of Gringott's Thief's Downfall.  Anyways, ciao!
