Swimming with Fam

Swimming with Fam


So... we went to this resort because my mom wanted to? We were actually supposed to go on her birthday but they kind of had a special lockdown during that time so the resort closed down for some reason. But then when we went there, one of the workers admitted that they were in quarantine. Again, stop quarantine shaming my friends. 
 

Yup, that's a plant I'm holding.  This is what happens when two sisters from different cities meet for the first time in a long time. Talking about my mom and my auntie. 


I love reunions like this coz' I get to see my family. 


Obsessed with this pool noodle. 


Love it! For most of it, the weather was perfect. 


There was a slight moment when the sun lit so bright and even up to this writing, the situation right now is that I am recovering from sunburn. 


PING


I love it. That's it guys! We went to a place called V Farm in Bulacan and it's not much but it's clean and not so crowded. And I heard it's fairly new as well so if you have a chance or if you've been vaccinated and want a place to enjoy the pool and so...this might be a good place to do so.

The Rest of Japan

The Rest of Japan



Hola! 






The main purpose of us going to Japan is to actually put in order some of the stuff my father used to own and is now being distributed and stuff. Also, to put my father to rest. Here’s us the day we put my dad to rest. It was an emotional time.








We went to Ebina after and ate at our favorite steak restaurant. Hungry Tiger. I remember the last time we ate there and it was still with dad. I will always remember this place because this is like our go to steak restaurant ever since I was a child. I may have over ate this visit but hey.







Can I just share that this is probably the best bento I’ve had this trip. I didn’t each much bento per se but yeah this is the best. It’s curry rice and namba chicken from 7/11.







We went to Daiso to finalize our pasalubongs for the whole barangay and my mom was like, let’s eat at a good ramen place. 













We ended up here. My mom hated the restaurant but I used to eat here a lot with my co workers and I don’t hate it. The tantanmen was a-okay! But I admit that there are other better places we could have wrapped up our Japan trip. Oh well. 









Few days later, we returned to replace the fresh flowers with artificial ones because my mom and I wouldn’t be back so soon. The fresh flowers were still fresh but you know, no one will really replace it once we’re out of Japan. So yeah there’s that.

Cherry Blossoms in Japan

Cherry Blossoms in Japan

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

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!

Club Morocco | Company Outing!

Club Morocco | Company Outing!




Hola! We went to Subic for our company outing and for this year, CLUB MOROCCO. I mean, it's only my first (and probably last) but we're not mad. We love some free leisure time. Thankful for this.







I was so excited to go since I haven't really been out swimming for almost a year so we love some pool time, you know. They have three swimming pools which are all nice. There is a slide pool, infinity pool, and a wave pool!






LOBBY AREA





I promise I have pants on. It's actually a very nice place to visit. I mean, I probably won't go there by myself or like if I can decide on my own, I probably won't choose this place because it's not that kind of place. It's too lonely almost. Maybe not! It's probably just me. But we move on to the rooms. Not the cleanest. Or RELAXING. It's good for like a place to sleep but not for isolating yourself from the tiring and busy life that you have.






Of course I went down the slide! SOOO GOOD! 




INFINITY POOL





Loved this! This is probably my favorite pool there. 










The beach. Not at any way swimmable which I hate because I'd rather swim here than the pool but it seemed like the water is contaminated/polluted by oil or something. Bummer. It has a nice view though! If it were clean, I might actually go back here because it's not populated and all but sorry. 






NEVER TOO EARLY 




WORK MATES







I want to thank my employers for making us eat 5 times a day and for the unlimited drinks! Again, not in any way fancy or a luxury or something but it was really filling! Thank you guys. 







US ALL! 





Our bosses are rich. That's all.
