Taking Over Nakameguro. 3.30.15

Taking Over Nakameguro. 3.30.15






Hello! I went to Nakameguro because I was supposed to meet with my friends at Ueno but then I was so early for our call time so I just went to Nakameguro first to kind of take photos and stuff and so I did. 










Can I just say that I was amazed on how beautiful the surrounding is. Very beautiful everywhere. It's very wintery looking. 












I took so many selfies like I don't really care. Most of the people here in Japan really don't care what your business is but you know, it's just me. 










Duck. There are so many ducks swimming and it was such nice view. I mean, probably amazing how they feel swimming while the flowers are falling everywhere. 












Vintage looking house. I like the effect of Sakura and the vintage house.  










I took photos of it quite a lot that I think people are wondering why. Or who knows? Is this vintage house a thing? 












Nakameguro Bridge










Nakameguro is probably the best place for Hanami. Hundreds of Sakura trees lined up is just so nice to look at. The river is the ribbon of the gift. Also, when you go early in the morning, you can enjoy its full glory. Minus probably the food. Oh well. 










Nakameguro Hashi 










Lovers in the Bridge 










After walking back and forth (repeat), I searched for a place to eat breakfast because it is still quite early for Ueno and the earliest breakfast place that opens is this. MokÄ“'s. 







  


Iced Caramel Macchiato 












Then I had Mixed Berry Pancake. It was an awesome breakfast.

Spring is Promising. Sakura 2015

Spring is Promising. Sakura 2015









I recently went to Kamoi to give something to an auntie there and last year, when I was here in this place, Sakura is in its full glory, it didn't show up that much this time of the year yet but it's promising. 









  




Sakura is already on its way.


















I know it already bloomed at some areas such as Tokyo and stuff but here in Kanagawa, not much. 











I will always appreciate places in Japan like this. Somehow untouched. A place to take a stroll, breathe in fresh air, take a minute of silence from the busy world waiting outside. You know! 










Good to see my shadow is intact. Who sew it? ;) not Wendy. I don't know if I like Wendy actually. Mmmm...






Scenic! But I would appreciate it more if there were colorful flowers. 








Nonetheless, gorgeous. 








Sakura 







  
More Sakura








I'd say 1 week more. Almost there! Can't wait to be back. I don't know. There are a lot of places to see. So little time! 







Selfie







Hello Spring






Ducks

I saw them swimming at first but when I came back and thought of taking a picture, they were already hamging out like this. Moral of the story is to point and shoot. Always. Shoot now delete later. FFS. 








It was a less than an hour visit but I really enjoyed my stay. 


After all that jazz, I went to Sukiya to eat this. Cheese Gyudon is probably my favorite gyudon. Also my mom's favorite. The thing about places like Sukiya is that most of its customers are guys and so I feel kinda awkward eating there alone. Let alone I ordered a size larger than the normal size. I love my life.

New Camera! | Canon EOS Kiss X7

New Camera! | Canon EOS Kiss X7




Hola! I bought a camera. I always wanted this type of camera but I don't really have a use for it and I don't want to spend my money on stuff I don't really need. Much. But now, I was like, eff that! It's not that I asked anyone for money to buy this stuff, right? 










Also hesitant to buy Canon because for some reason, my first ever Digital Camera, Canon, kind of had a defective lens and I was like, if it happened before, it might happen again now. My logic. But then I might actually broke that camera myself so whatevs. 





Canon vs Nikon? I was like, okay here we go again. I was supposed to buy the Nikon D3300 but this Canon I bought is kind of cuter than that Nikon and it's much cheaper. I think. And it's touch screen. I am not a fan of the touch screen feature at first but I was like, mmm...that's kind of nice. Being a newbie, I mean, it's always nice to be able to operate something I know how to operate, right? Cannot focus, huh? Touch the screen out of that crap. Let's be real! My iPhone has been the biggest help for me, blogging wise. 









Hahaha bummer that it didn't have much colors though. It's literally only available in black and white and the white being almost 20000 jyp more expensive. Wag nalang. I think the black is more classic looking anyways. 





Now tell me this is not the cutest DSLR ever? Like, it's so tiny. Which is also one of my concerns because you know, I don't really want some big looking camera. For now. I think. At least I got two lenses. But let's be honest here. I don't even know what they're for. See yah!
