Since I’ve Been Gone

Image
First day of freedom! For our first day of freedom, my sister and I went to Ebina. Will probably post more about it later.  Went to the cemetery with the sis to visit dad.  Bought a bike! (sad to say that I don't use this bike anymore but yeah, it was a good bike and it was good while it lasted.  I feel like I have to tell you where the heck I’ve been for the past 10 months. Japan is still Japan but kind of different. With all the things going on right now and all, I don’t even know. So we arrived July 31st last year and 10 months after, here I am. Did quarantine which seemed to be the longest quarantine of my life considering I don’t have my Luna with me. My new quarantine buddy which is my sister is just as sleepy as my Luna so yeah I think we’re good. Employed for a couple of months now too! I have been to a lot of places with the sis that I will be sharing with you of course. I don't know but I feel like I'm a little bit uninspired to post everything in my life, recen...

Arriving in Japan | Protocols and stuff

Image
I made it to Japan on July 31. This is really late but I don't think a lot have changed since my experience. Well few things have changed of course with regards to the number of days you have to quarantine yourself in the designated hotel and stuff so make sure to always check on that! So yeah but this is my experience and I think this more or less what you have to expect when returning to Japan. I am fully vaccinated at the time of my arrival but back then, it didn't matter. Being vaccinated has its bearing now so make sure to take advantage of that.  I came from the Philippines and the documents needed for leaving is basically the minimum requirement of the place you're going to. At the airport, I remember being asked to present the MOFA form and the written pledge. They also asked for the completed QR code that I didn't have at first so let me share the code with you. Just in case you still have to! You just have to fill out the thing and at the end, there will be a ...

Unli Scallops in Manila

Image
We went to a place that we saw on a Facebook post. We were skeptical at first because it's not common for a place to have such item on their all you can eat menu so we called before we went and they said that they actually have it everyday. We also opted for the boodle fight style but you actually have to pay extra for the banana leaves. Picture above is them arranging the leaves.  family that eats together sometimes lol  Yup! We had loads of these. I personally ate scallops until I can't no more! The scallops were a bit tiny and it's like 1/3 the size of what I usually eat but if you had like 20 plus of it, then it actually don't matter as much! The other food that they served were okay but the scallops were good! I just love me some scallops you know!  The lechon sisig in moderate portion is actually bomb too!  This is actually our last "girl's night" dinner edition if you will. I had fun! And my tummy was happy! That's all you folks! 

Officially Unemployed

 I love it. I know I have shared my sentiments with some friends but as of this writing, I have nothing but gratitude that I get to spend my time resting and planning the new chapter of my life. I don't know if I ever blogged about anything related to my work in the Philippines recently but here it is. I'll give you a tour.  Von Voyage! I actually didn't know the meaning of this until about awhile ago but yeah I guess it's not all that common to say in Japan? Is it just me? OF COURSE. ALWAYS JUST ME, DUH. My last lunch break with my St. Anthony fam!  It's kinda sad that I don't get to share my knowledge or experience to the new recruits as much but I'm sure they're gonna be well taken care of by my colleagues/batchmates there. If anything, we have a senior staff that I got to be so close to especially during the last few months of my stay.  I'm just happy that I got to spend my last day with everyone! I mean, it's inevitable and work is not forev...

Swimming with Fam

Image
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 i...
