Too Foggy

Too Foggy

Not really into short posts but I just want to share that it was way to foggy yesterday (3/7/16). Like, after gym, I was kind of blown away because I thought it was just too much hot bath and sauna or maybe my poor eyesight but after blinking several times, I was like, oh this is real life then. So yeah, it was really really hard to deal with but I thought it was fun to kind of snap pictures of it and stuff. Not even that cold that time. Felt like I was walking thru some TriWizard maze or something. Ciao!

This Park again and again

This Park again and again






After a long time, I get to visit this park again. I was actually so happy because I get to share the beauty of the park. 











I don't get why he was so amused by this cow. Why? Haha










The cow really did not care. Such a badass. Like, she would look at us once and then look away and eat grass. Repeat. She did not even try. Haha










Also entered their bird house and it was nice. I wish they build a bigger cage though. It's a little bit crowded for all of them there. 







Colorful bird







Then we enter the feeding cage whatever and it was awesome. 










It was our first time seeing these babies. Not sure what they are exactly but most likely chickens hahaha. 










Then we also get to feed most of them with carrots and we were saying that they're really doing it right because it's a nice learning and fun experience for kids (and the like) and all the animals there get to eat. 









 Also, even though it's Winter, they still have this flower mosaic thing going on so yeah it was still kind of pretty. Also they did have an event that time where they sell stuff but all we did there was eat mochi. It was good. 












My favorite part of the park for sure.












The earliest bloom of Sakura that I've seen. Fantastic.












It was a good day. Ciao!

Cerisiers en Fleurs.

Cerisiers en Fleurs.



These are pictures of Cherry Blossoms near from where I live. It was beautiful. Sakura in our city bloomed later than in Tokyo so I was able to enjoy both worlds.










Literally like 5 minutes away from where I live so it's really convenient to just go in pajama like how I did. 







  


It's a street full of Sakura but most of it are quite high up but some you can really have a good look of. 










I then found a use for my spare camera lens. It kinda works. 










Oh Sakura. I would never ever get tired of looking at you. 














Chibi Sakura tree near the station. 












Then I came back to the chibi tree because I was like, I won't be able to see this again until next year so I took more photos. 










The rain kind of shortened the span of the already short blossoms so boo yah. 









falling Sakura petals is gorg


Adios, Sakura! Till we meet again next year. I'll miss yah. 







snowy morning


Then just yesterday, it snowed. Like, what? Periwinkle and the other Winter Fairies were surely confused. Anyways. See yah!

By the Unknown River

By the Unknown River

I sat down and wept.












I always knew our house in Sagamihara is near a river and I remember going there probably thrice my lifetime. Since I wasn't really doing anything yet, I tried to figure out how to get to the river and man it was a struggle! Like, it was real! There's nothing more frustrating than knowing you're in the right track but still can't find the right direction. The reason I know I'm doing it right is because I can actually hear the water flow and it was even more frustrating because it was darn loud and I was like, can I just go in the pipe and let the water take me there? I was actually even trying to LINE with my mom asking her for directions. Like, as if. Oh well that happened. She was like, TRY TO REMEMBER! Okay, like, I have no idea where I'm going but I'm going anyways. Hahaha ALWAYS! 
















At the end of the day, I was able to find the place and was able to take a stroll so yay for me, right? From afar, there's also a motorcycle park which I don't really have anything to do with but it's cool. 















It was kind of hot when I went so I didn't stay that long and as much as I wanted to wait for the sunset, I guess I went a little early for the occasion so no sunset for me. Boo!!! I guess it would look gorgeous though. I probably would have gave it a go if I were biking but since I went walking, I concluded it'd be dangerous for me to like walk my way home and you know, probably DIE? Ha! So paranoid. Anyways that's all. No selfies. Sad. 




Celebrating Nature at Sagamihara Park

Celebrating Nature at Sagamihara Park


Okay so this is what happened. I think it was my second day or like my third day in Japan when I decided to visit my favorite place in my city. The PARK. If you're from my previous blog, you may have noticed that I have talked about this place quite a lot. Anyways.









I only stayed at our house for quite a few days so even though it rained, I still went! Sacrifices! It's just that from where I stayed that time, I really have no idea how to go to the park and stuff. Also, can  I just remind you that at this point in time, dad already scrapped my old bike and so I walked. I swear I sensed people looking at me with my umbrella on. Oh well.








GOTTA DO THAT SELFIE








Should have seated and got my picture taken. Oh well living the forever alone life for quite a while I guess. DIY until you can make it. 

















Obsessed with the flowers! Going to this place calms my spirit. I guess you have to be in a good mood when you go here because if you're feeling down, I can see this place to actually make you feel more down for a reason because it's like very quiet and peaceful and stuff but it's actually very beautiful so I think that beautiful scenery may counteract everything I have just said. I don't know where my point is going. More flower spam!












You have to see this in person y'all. I kind of felt like a rich girl walking on her garden for a second LOL, Aladdin reference. Now where's thy tiger?







who can say no to this?












Usually there would be ducks swimming here but then they were chilling somewhere else. There are other mini ponds and I saw some there. Even ducks don't want to be mainstream. 












Sometimes you don't really have to spend that much to be entertained and sometimes you don't have to pay for that expensive coffee to have that peace of mind. We just have to have more of this and this world would be a better place. 










The park is huge and there are some other places to visit such as the mini zoo and that field where dogs can play and train. 










There's a very limited animals in there but one can sure enjoy the sight of them. They do have guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, sheep, birds, cows, horses, wallabies, monkeys, squirrels, and maybe one or two that I can't recall. 







ENTRANCE OF THE ZOO


I miss this place and if I can make my way there on my bike, I surely will! And spam more pictures! That's all about this post. Goodbye.

たんぽぽ. Dandelions.

たんぽぽ. Dandelions.

I don't know if people are already annoyed of me talking about Japan so often these days but anyhow. I'm gonna really talk about it a lot so beware! LOL. I'm gonna be talking about the Philippines once I'm already in Japan so fair enough. LOL.

So back to the topic, March-May is usually our Japan trip and by like, May, Dandelions everywhere!

I like them.

But for some reason, when they're too many, I don't think that they're as precious as it supposed to be. Like, when I find one, that's like OMG precious. But when there's like 20 of them or more, I don't think so. Unless of course it's your first time seeing them or probably when you're just too obsessed. Both acceptable. LOL.

Going back, the playground near us is pretty much covered with grass and there would be a certain time when the field is covered with fluffy looking balls and stuff so what I do is actually pick one and blow it. And I don't care about the rest of them.

I don't actually know If it's a legit way of wishing and stuff but maybe it's formulated for us to actually say our wish and to be reminded that we should not be afraid or something. I don't even know. I'm totally making things up right now. LOL.

Anyways, have a good life. I'm gonna sleep now.

Sagamiono. A Look Back.

Sagamiono. A Look Back.
The way we go to certain places is by TRAIN. I mean, it can' t get more practical than that. You can't go wrong with that. 


In this picture, we are heading to Sagamiono and get dad pick up us there after his work and stuff. So yeah. We live in a semi-rural place and a bus away would lead us to a train station and that line literally have everything after everything after everything. So as much as I wanted to live in a more urbanized place, NO REGRETS.

Sagamiono is not actually my favorite station among the lot. EBINA would probably top my list. Followed by Machida, then Sagaiono. Then Odakyu Sagamihara. Sobudai mae is where we're closest so I have to thank it. But not my favorite. Not at all. Sometimes when I want to go to wherever I want to, I would actually go with my bike up to Odakyu Sagamihara and actually park my bike there and ride a train. Just saying.


Thinking about it, I actually have less than a year left here in the Philippines and I'll be back to Japan. Yay! Countdown! LOL. But as I've talked about such stuff with my cousin over dinner, she said that she would be missing me because we wouldn't be able to hang out until I come back here again. SAD STORY.

Anyways just me posing. My mom would actually take a picture of me anywhere there's a Sakura so yeah. LOL.


LOL at my sisters' faces. Hahahaha.


ONLY HAPPY PERSON IN THIS PICTURE. What up you three? LOL.


I'm always so happy when I see this picture because for some reason, I think my youngest sister kind of over-reacted. And no, I didn't intend to strangle or choke her or kill her or anything like that. LOL. Good vibes!

Random Japan Pictures Part 5. A Look Back.

Stop over when we were about to go to the Philippines. Some Dippin' Dots behind us. Can't remember what I ordered then so yeah. This is usually where we do our health break/bathroom break from the long drive from our place to the airport so yeah. 


I just thought I dressed well. Never mind.

Favorite Ramen Places.

Favorite Ramen Places.

This is actually my favorite place to order ramen. This is where I've tasted the most ramen~ish ramen that there is. I mean, some ramen places shouldn't even exist. There are like 3 places in Japan that I legitly like and stuff but this is far my favorite. The picture above is a place called Osakura ramen. They serve really delish ramen and yeah, delish. We used to eat there twice a week I believe. The other place is the one near Sanwa. I don't know what it's called and I don't have a picture of it either. It's actually a larger place and stuff which is nice. Also, the service crews there are just as hot as their ramen. Just saying.

The other ramen place that I like is in Yokohama.


Like, super near my auntie's apartment. Like, across the street. I'm gonna show you the place though. I mean, the view. Just so you'll have a idea where to look for it. Just in case you're interested.


So yeah. Ramen in Japan is not all the same actually. You must be eager to find for good places to eat to really find the real deal. It's pretty much like life. There will be bad ones, but yeah. Just keep moving. You'll get to the good ones eventually. Although I'm not really picky when it comes to food. Food is food. Those that aren't delish are "okay" for me. Till next time!
