Omotesando Illumination 2016

Image
I don't really have much business to do in Omotesando except for MAC but since it's close to Harajuku, I went anyways.  Burberry Scarf ;)  The Beverly Hills of Japan (or so they say) Simple as it may seem, it was actually very pretty!  Omotesando Everything was magical Burberry Vintage It's a very pretty place to visit. Too bad it ended already as of this writing but I'm really glad I was able to go! That's all! Ciao!

Yoyogi Park Illumination 2016

Sea of Blue Last 2 years, I promised I'd go to illuminations. I actually thought I wouldn't be able to but with a little more determination, I managed to somehow sneak in! Last year was kind of fail (in general that is) but anyways, this year and early next year will be nothing but memorable. I mean, just look at that beauty. Can I just say that as much as I'm almost running out of time with these events, because I forgot to bring my camera the first time, I had to go back the next week to take proper pictures. Waste of time but you know, this kind of place is not something you'll get tired of apparently. And it's near work. Also, iPhone 7 Plus' camera is not as near as good as a DSLR. Whoever tell you otherwise is clearly lying. Pft!  Crowded!!! It's a fairytale venue with lots of prince and princesses so it's hard to feel like the only jewel in this one. Yoyogi Park in Shibuya  This was actually the easiest place to go to since it's like a 10 minut...

Tama Center Illumination 2016

Image
Christmas in our hearts! Yokoso!  Sea full of stars? I was wondering what this is at first given my poor eyesight but then with the noise and all, I realized it's supposed to look like the ocean with all the creatures and stuff. Also, I've been going to Sanrio Puroland every effing up until I was 13-14 but I didn't realize that it was in Tama Center.  Kitty Chan  It was beautiful! It was wide! Not like in Tokyo where it's so compact in a sense that in Tokyo, you almost only have a place to walk. But then again we went earlier this month so illuminations are not really that relevant yet.  First illumination of the year. Well it's up until February so I still have a lot of time to go here and there. Not bad for starters. Ciao!

Let's Eat Chinese 日高屋

Selfie We all know this is unnecessary.  Popular Menu  It's been a good 24 years and I am still amazed at these replicas.  Interior With my Bru Tita Elvie who sponsored our dinner. Actually, Tita often mention that if she would have to live another life, she'd choose to have me and bru (her niece) to be her daughters. I don't know about that! It would be a riot!!! Also, I'd re-live my life as is.  liver thing I used to not mind livers but you know, maybe 2 or 3 years ago, I don't like it na. It's weird. I can eat probably a very very small amount but more than that, meh. The liver dish was good though. Just not the dish for me.  classic ramen set Classic taste. Well nothing special. But might be better than what most people call good in the Philippines. True story.  And then I came back probably a week after all by myself and had Tonkotsu Ramen and this...

Häagen-Dazs' Flavors of Fall

Image
Flavors of fall. Not even its official campaign or anything but it was released during the time being and I feel like they're very autumn-y so why not? Maple Custard Cookie The best among the three. Like, if this would be part of the regular line, I'd probably buy it. Pumpkin Not a fan. I was like, meh. I don't get why people like Pumpkin Spice anything so it is no surprise that I don't like this one. Murasaki Im I bought this because I thought it'd be like Philippine's Ube icecream but whatever! It's not. Kind of close though but not quite. Anyways, I still finished everything because it's sayang. Ciao!

First Snow in 54 Years

Image
Snow Selfie The first November snow in 54 years. It happened November 24th this year. Like, wait, calm down Snow Fairies.  Although anticipated, I didn't think it would snow full blast. I kind of thought it was just gonna rain like it does most of the time when my weather app tells me it's gonna snow.  Sagamihara Station Murphy's Law Like seriously though. When I bring my bike to the station, something would come up. Like, the other day, there was an accident at my station and we stopped one station before mine and on normal circumstances, it's okay because I kind of live in between stations so I can just walk from there but since I have my bike parked at Sagamihara, it's a bit of trouble walking from there to the station and back to my home. I was worried. Thank goodness problems were resolved shortly. So yeah other times it would rain and stuff and yeah last time, snow.  Base Finding Earphones Here's the story. I was looking for my earphones because I'm po...
