One Month in Japan!!

One Month in Japan!!
It's not like this month has been ultra productive but you know, I'm just so thankful that my host family (mom's friend) has been very generous and kind so Imma blog anyways. Wait, what? Ano daw? Okay nalang.


The Yakinuku by the way was so yums and kinda cheap basing it from the Japanese cost of living. For 980 yen, you get that meat platter, a salad ,a bowl of soup, and a tiny bit of super yummy vanilla soft cream at the end. Also you can request for extra rice anytime! :) 


Seventeen Ice! I don't know if it's really just me but I think that their ice creams are so yummers! I don't like the fact that they raised their price from 110 yen to 130 though. And they do have new ice creams that are 160 yen. The one in cone is 160 but it was worth the price I guess. It's quite yummy! 


Even though it rained when I visited the park, which you can also read about on this blog, I still ate ice cream!! You know, just like how I like to drink hot coffee on a hot afternoon. Me likey. 


Yesterday, Hidemi and I baked cakes! It's  not like we're professional bakers or something but you know, we can get by it and have something edible at the end. But since we lack sugar, you know! But we had fun doing it and at the end of the day, it's the only that matters! But also not waste ingredients so eat your mistake LOL. We were so idle so we baked Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Bits and Banana Cake. Then we made Nama Chocolate which I think was the best! :) 


Today, it rained the whole day! Bummers! It was very well predicted yesterday though so I was feeling a little gloomy since yesterday. The wind was also so strong that leaves were literally shaken off their stems. Will accompany tita to run some errands today but for us to stay safe, I am now blogging inside a Pachinko Slot building where there's free wi-fi and currently, my mom's friend is playing for her life. Shouldn't be she running some errands? I don't know too. By the way it's not today that I'd be here for 1 month. Tomorrow though! See yah! :)

Even the Sun Sets in Paradise

Even the Sun Sets in Paradise

I have another one but this is the bloodiest I've seen the skies here in Japan. The other one's creative but not like this colorful. 


It's surely spring-summer! I used to love blowing off the feathers of Dandelions when I was younger and then I would also be the one who'll get it and wish. Am I the only one? 


I don't fancy doing it as much now. Will probably look so childish. But maybe not. Not making any point, LOL.


One boring day at home, I decided to walk to a place we used to visit before. It's not yet as promising as it is before but it's still nice anyway. The only thing missing is SHIBA SAKURA which in a week time would grown and fill the place like crazy. It's still a little sparse as of 2 days ago. That's all! :) 

Beauty Stuff I Never Got

Beauty Stuff I Never Got

Hola!! So today, I will share with you things that I found out that are FOR ME but never really got into my hands until a few days ago. It's funny because my mom told me to find things that I can bring to my new place and then I saw this in her bag. I know that it is mine because my tita labeled it MIKI yet once again. LOL. Thanks though!! :)) 


I initially thought that this would be a perfume but then it's a shadow refill palette which I don't know when to use but it's a very nice and smooth formula which I think would be so easy to work with. Just not for me. This is kind of expensive too! Like 2000 yen plus for a refill? Mmm... 


Also, the colors are very wearable. A not so overpowering brown and a very soft pink. Of course I'm just making up the names. What's new? 


This I am excited about! Like, I am starting to get really into blushes. I wasn't before because of my acne! I hate hate hate acnes! But I guess that's how we all feel about it, right? So yeah. I think the color though is kinda lighter than what I wished for but this will do!! :) 


If you'd like to get the same color, you can make the code above your reference. 


It's the swirl it type blush which kinda make it interesting but since I like it darker, I might stick to the darker color. It's not actually as dark as it looks like. Kinda sad.


This I am also so excited about!! Recently, I have been paying attention to my brows because you know, some beauty guru said that it frame the eyes so yeah! My brows are also more manageable now that it was before so yeah good job parlor person! :) I usually just darkens it and accentuate the arc but sometimes I tend to overdo it so I guess I have to practice more. 


There's something about a acrylic packaging that gets me! I don't know. I think this packaging is pretty cool. 


I don't know which is which but yeah I think both can go to the brows. No idea.


Then I got a shimmer! I don't really know when to use this at all but for some reason, it ended up inside my everyday make up bag. Just in case! LOL.


The sparkles are really really fine that I think it would go well as eyeshadow (it id an eyeshadow) but I think I would just use it and use it as shimmer when I'm wearing an off shoulder or something. Right? That's all guys! I hope you enjoyed reading. See yah!
