    Picturing Fall and Stuff

    Picturing Fall and Stuff








    I want to share with you guys some amazing photos that I took. Well not really that. Just amazing nature in photos. I won't credit that to me. Haha












    It's autumn. Also known as my favorite season of all time. So I ventured and took photos that is relevant. Not this one of course. 












    Also not relevant to fall but I took a picture with it anyways. 














    It's getting colder and colder each day and to be honest, I wasn't wearing enough dress to get by this day but whatevs. 












    Now can we just stop and appreciate fall together? I can't express how I love fall. And I would never be able to. 












    Fall Dust 










    This is actually a Sakura Lane and in spring, which is probably my second fave season, I would be happy to show it all to you. 










    Selfie before leaving the lane. 












    View from my terrace. It's just so nice to see it changing colors day by day. I love nature!! Truly amazing. That's all!!

    Sakuragicho Yet Again

    Sakuragicho Yet Again






    It was so nice to be back. I so remember my first trip and my Nepali friend asked me when will "fall" be witnessed and I was like, around November. We went there the last week of October and we witnessed its beginning. I love fall! 












    As always, it was so beautiful. Like, I can't stop admiring how beautiful this town is. Can't actually wait until the Sakura season starts. 














    The Cosmo Clock selfie. 












    Really gorgeous view. Oh also, they were like having a wedding celebration on the other side and they (guests) were like waving at us for some reason and my mom was like, if they would call me in, I'm definitely going.  
















    In front of the World Porters which is quite a small shopping place with all the good stuff in. My mom was like, uh oh! Credit card is in danger again. Hahaha I just love my mom. Would definitely watch Hunger Games here. 












    Minato Bridge picture. My mom just thought it's a brilliant place to take a picture here and I was like, meh okay. 












    Here's what I'm talking about. I remember this specific tree because when I first visited with friends, that Nepali friend asked me whilst pointing at this tree. Because there were like some yellow leaves falling off from it that time. Now it's life brownish-red of some sort. 












    Then of course. 












    Porters selfie. 












    Then we went to Cosmo World. A little amusement park across the mall. Quite an unremarkable place to take a picture but hey. It looks like I am wearing a crown.












    I was then able to solve a mistery this day. I asked my mom why she likes taking pictures with the vending machine and she was like, because there's no such thing in the Philippines. Why though? There should be some in the Philippines. 












    And I swear there are a lot more picture of my mom with the vending machine. 












    The decoration was quite festive with all the lights on and stuff. I don't remember visiting the place in the past so I don't know if it's always like that. 










    I super like this picture. 












    Then they have that heart thingy and you know! Must take pictures. 










    For some reason, my mom looks awkward. Hahaha












    Then we were lucky to be able to have our picture taken by a lovely couple. 












    At this point, we haven't eaten anything proper yet and when my mom saw this crepe store and she knows I love my crepes so she pointed it to me and voila.












    This crepe store's crepes' name are super long that even though you can read them, you'll just end up saying its corresponding number. 












    Then we ventured on further Cosmo World. What I liked about the place is that it's free for those who doesn't like to ride. You can just like walk and eat and lurk. 












    Always a beauty. 












    Then there's like a place where there's  Christmas stuff but yet again I don't know if it's supposed to symbolize Christmas. Well Christmas for me at least. 












    There were like houses too which sometimes doesn't really have anything in it but some like have portrait workshop, candy store, Game Center, attraction even. 












    They do have like Ice World which I think is inappropriate since it was kind of cold the time we visited. 












    Going back already. Yeah it was really an awesome place. Definitely my favorite place to hang out to.

    Tokyo Disneyland 2014

    Tokyo Disneyland 2014






    It's been a while since I visited and place and even though it was quite a short trip, I think we need were able to maximize the day and was able to do what we have to do so yay!










    They do have quite a lot of signage of Tokyo Disneyland so it's really tourist friendly. 










    I still think I did a better picture of my mom in the same signage though. 










    This I remember from before. I don't know if it's just me but even though how much they change the theme, it still kind of look the same. Is it just me?? 










    I have a picture from this but I still think I took a better picture LOL. Maybe my mom is just a better subject. 










    So when we entered Disneyland, I was overwhelmed because heck it was so crowded. I was like, how can we go thru all the rides with all these people interfering with our success? Then I already accepted that it won't be an easy day for us and we have to queue to all the rides. 










    Selfie. My mom was like, selfie selfie!! And then you know, I don't really get why it's called a selfie even if there's two of you in a picture. Maybe because it indicates that you take the picture yourself. IDK.  










    I think this is the only picture we have that's not a selfie. Tip 1: Disneyland crews are allowed to take pictures so I say you grab the chance to! 










    Love love love the flowers in Disneyland. When I saw it, I literally looked like I came for the flowers hahaha. 










    Mickey flowers in different colors. 










    Adventureland! I think this is the part of Disney that we were really able to explore. 














    I had some tiramisu stuff which I really enjoyed because you know, we were in a line and got really nothing to do. My moms' below and I think she enjoyed hers as well. Probably not as much though. 












    The queue for our first attraction was like 90 minutes!! Can you just imagine that. Like, whut? 










    The first attraction we queud for was Jungle Cruise which apparently is new but I swear I have seen this already since like 2008. Or was it another Disneyland that we visited?? 










    Jungle cruise was not so impressive and it took us longer to queue than to actually ride the thing and another disappointment was that IT'S A SMALL WORLD WAS CLOSED. Gah! 










    I don't know but I think it was my first time eating turkey leg or maybe not. I don't know really but it really taste familiar so it's probably not my first time. My mom actually held the turkey leg for the camera and I actually ate two which made me really want to puke but still I was able to finish it like a boss. 










    Just when I thought we totally missed any parade for the noon, they announced it like before I bought the turkey leg and voila!! Made it!! 











    My favorite but not favorite ride!! I just like it because I like the idea of Peter Pan but then the ride itself really made me dizzy. Also, just when I thought that I haven't rode this yet, it actually looked so familiar.













    Disney at night looks really magical. I mean, with all the lights on and stuff. 












    See, I really take good pictures. LOL. 










    Oh can I just say that we actually didn't have proper meal whilst we were at Disney but this one is like in front of the Mad Hatter in front of the Queen of Hearts restaurant or something. It was beautiful with all the red flowers. 











    Then yet again because of the long queue of some ride we were lining up for, we didn't get to watch the storytelling something program in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle.

















    During the story telling, there were so many fireworks fillers and I struggled to get photos of it. 













    They were pretty!! 










    Mom took a photo of me with all that Jack-O-Lanterns and I was not a bit interested and took a photo of us with the castle and mom was like, baby it's dark outside. Hahaha 

















    Then we went inside The Haunted Mansion despite waiting time being 130 minutes. But actually, it only took us about 45 or so minutes to actually go in. 












    Oh then!! Can I just say that we waited for like 90 minutes to get in the jet star thing because I think it broke for some reason and I was actually able to sleep while waiting and yeah we got really dizzy so mom bought ice creams to make up for it. Winner!! I feel sorry for putting my mom in to that situation though.












    Then to the Electrical Parade! I'll make sure I'll bring my eyeglasses next time because although I can see the lights and all, I can't see the faces of the characters which is bummer because I've been dying to see Peter Pan but you know, I saw his shadow. Pretty close!!











    Though very simple, I really liked Snow White's float.










    The BAE!! Like, living and dying for it! 










    Toy Story!










    I think Cinderellas' float was the most enchanting. Like, the lights on her dress are changing colors and all that. 













    It was a fun trip!! I wish I could stay longer and ride all the rides we were not able to ride. But then if you came in at 11AM, you can't really complain that much. Yay though.
