    My Nara Experience

    March 17, 2019 0
    My Nara Experience



    Oh my. Good lord. The deers. I wish I had known the hand signal for them to go away because I was violated ladies and gentlemen. The thing is when you show them treats, they would attack! I mean, sure they have their horns taken off or something but still, it’s kind of traumatic actually. But! I still enjoyed it. Joke’s on me. 



    How cute is this?





    I bought two stacks of the biscuits at two different places. They sell for 150 yen each stack and so yeah. 



    I actually enjoyed feeding them! Especially those who are just very shy and quiet. Hated when the alphas come because they’re very scary and so entitled! And they come running towards you too! Like, girl, I don’t owe you any snacks! 



    You know what? I owe myself a snack. So snacks I should get! 




    I also went to this place where the buddha displays are but I didn’t go in. Maybe I should have though but anyways. I remember having a very little time to comply with all of this so...



    For all of you who doesn’t know, Nara is actually a place where there are lots of wild deers waiting for treats I guess. What’s special is that they sort of bow down to you as a sign of greeting so yeah, very interesting! I recommend you drop by and give it a look. That’s all! I would definitely go check this place again if given a chance. Thank you!

    Universal Studios Japan

    March 15, 2019 0
    Universal Studios Japan

    I mean, can we just appreciate the fact that it’s my first time going to Universal Studios! Like, yas! I have been a fan of Harry Potter as long as I can remember. Actually, I am kind of late in the trend because I’ve only been a fan when I was in second year college. And yes, the year the first Deathly Hollows movie was released. That drew me to it because we all know I didn’t understand much from the movie so I decided to backtrack. Hahaha so anyways. I was hooked since then and man, I know everything now! And I wouldn’t forgive myself if I leave Japan and not experience USJ. And so I went. Actually it’s the main reason I went to the Kansai area. Okay the USJ trip. 












    In general, it was not as aesthetically pleasing as Disneyland but it was still beautiful. I guess the gloomy weather made it a little bit gloomier so yeah. 



















    The Wizarding World though!!! I liked! And I would definitely go there again just for that! Also to ride the ones that I missed!  














    I bought one in this souvenir container and the other in disposable cup.




    Hogwarts, I'm home.






    Butterbeer!! I had two of these. I should have had five to be honest but it’s not something you’d think if you were living that day because it’s too sweet. 









    Slytherin Represent! 








    The tita in me was dizzy AF after all the rides and stuff but it didn’t stop me from riding the Hogwarts ride thing twice. It was sooo realistic and it made me really feel that I was in Hogwarts! I liked it. 








    Also rode the Flight of Hippogriff! 




    KEEPER OF THE KEYS








    What I liked about USJ is its Single Rider lane! I mean, going alone is one thing but going alone and waiting in line alone is another so I’m really thankful that I don’t have to wait in line as much as them people with friends. Posting this because I rode this ride with no problem.








    FOOD








    The food!! It’s actually not soooo good good but it was okay. Three Broomsticks will always be a go to place for me! It’s a little expensive though but okay. 











    I wasn’t able to ride everything actually. I think I missed five major rides two of it being closed due to maintenance that day. I should do better! 












    At night, the Hogwarts projection thingy happened. It was very nice. Not as magical as Disney’s though but it was beautiful! Also, the parade was cancelled for some reason. I was kind of looking forward to that one because I heard only good things about it. But oh well. Next time! 











    All in all I am very impressed with the theme park! I should definitely go again next time with my sisters!  I recommend you go if ever you’re in the area. That’s all!

    Hello, Kyoto

    February 24, 2019 0
    Hello, Kyoto

    I’ve been meaning to go to Kyoto ever since I set foot in this country. Well you know, shrines are fantastic but I don’t know why people with no religious connection to it would want to visit the place. PS, I always feel emotional when I go to these kind of places. 










    I had a micro heart attack when my camera didn't recognize the memory card. Good thing the camera itself can format the memory card. Goodness gracious!







     Selfie






    If I didn't have all my stuff with me, I could have enjoyed going to place a little bit more I think. Also, heels. Killer.












    Kyoto! First place I went to is this famous place. It was soo tiring! Heels I tell you. Enemies! Also, my old arse cannot do this kind of places anymore. I did not achieve anything at the end of the day. But oh well! Also had a problem with my camera which is so bummer! But at the end of the day, I succeeded. Coz come on. Why the hell wouldn’t I, right? 










    I went back to the main station and did Kyoto Tower! Not as cool as the other towers but it was close. I guess. 







    Kyoto Tower




    Kyoto, everyone. 




    Nice to meet you.




    The place is near the station so I went. 




    selfie







    I don't know if I told you guys already but I become emotional with this kind of places. It's so serene. I feel like I'm too vulnerable for this kind of places. I feel like they're taking away my soul.







    They have lots of this before. I likey. 







    I was also able to roam around the city again at the end of my Kansai trip. I went to more temples and everything. I was actually supposed to go to the Aquarium but it was like super late already and sayang lang because they were already closing so you know. Next time. Also, I failed to tick off three items from my Kyoto list but I don’t really regret it. Again, it’s just me. 







    Next time, maybe. 








    I ended my Kyoto trip with this. Delicious!

    Taking Over Kansai 2019

    February 21, 2019 0
    Taking Over Kansai 2019










    Yas! OOTD, 







    Shinkansen is Life






    So, as an introduction, I actually spent 5 days in the Kansai area and this is how I spent it. 





    Day 1- Kyoto-Osaka


    Day 2- Osaka/Kobe


    Day 3- Osaka (Universal Studios Japan)


    Day 4- Nara/Kyoto





    I should have spent 5 days to be honest coz you know. Never enough. Anyways! I hate the idea of it though. The idea of always wanting more. I mean, you know, like, everyone should just YOLO for ef’s sake. I’m pretty sure my other self is kind of outraged right now.












    I actually planned on taking the night bus because at this point, I am actually already unemployed so I don’t have any deadlines to catch or whatsoever but I still decided to go with the Shinkansen because you know, might as well, right? Night bus is okay too I guess but yeah I think a Shinkansen ride would kind of complete the experience. 











    Okay so I had this bento, right? It's only my 5th time riding the Shinkansen to Kansai and I don't know. I still don't know whether or not they have microwave oven on board so I kind of ate this cold. Not again. You know what, I should have warmed this up regardless of the time because the rice was the problem. Anyways, still okay. No choice. Please look forward to the upcoming blogs! Thank you! That's all!
