Also, the one in Harajuku, I didn't wait as long as I waited in Shibuya. Which is always nice!

You can see the first time I tried Ichiran in this post. Totally different vibe but still not as good as I expected. 

I retried Ichiran because I don't want to not like it. As much as I don't like mainstream anything, I can't just let this go. But then again it didn't turn out exactly like I want to so I retried again. Persistence is key. 

I remember hearing two Japanese guys sitting beside me talking how they missed and really like it but no! Not me. But you know! Still! I might give this another try someday but now, it's just not my cup of tea. Ciao! 

Year End Party of our company was as usual uneventful. I won a prize this year though! I remember a friend who already left told me that she won a digital camera back then and what I actually got was 3 bottles of dish washing liquid and a box of tissue.
Life is tough. Hahaha but whatever. 

 

Oh actually, 2 hours before the Year End Party, we had a mini get together/Christmas feast between us line members. 

My plate

Year End Food 

Even though already bloated from the line party, I still ate almost all the fries and it's not in the picture but they have this tub of EDAMAME which I shared with ate Michelle. And cakes!!! 

Cake 1 (1st Day)

Cake 2 (2nd Day)

Cake 3 (3rd Day) 

Can't get enough! We had cake for 3 consecutive days. 

On the 25th, I went to my Tita May's house and we both went to her friend's house and man, I ate a lot! It's like we're in a new reality show called Me VS Food. 

 

After I feasted, I slept on the couch and I barely remember anything that happened. It was a good day. Ciao! 

 

 

 

 

Conveniently just 15 minutes away from work, I decided to go after my shift and was left in surprise with what I saw. Well nothing there yet when I arrived because it's quite early but you get the point. When the clock chimed at 5pm, everything suddenly turned pink. It was magical.

Pink Lights 

Supposed to look like Sakura trees and it did not fail. Loved its water reflection even. 

I'm sure professional photographers would just laugh at the shot above but I was quite impressed with this little failure to focus shot as I would like to call it. 

I felt like a princess walking around her own garden for a sec. 

I actually wonder if they're Sakura trees.  I bet it's just as beautiful during Spring. I should be back! 

Fairy tale-ish trail. I was impressed with this place because you know, very quiet because for some reason, one little thing I hate about Tokyo is that it's kind of touristy and I find it really hard to breathe sometimes and maybe I don't make sense (just because) but yeah this place is really subtle and peaceful and not crowded at all! Ciao!
