SHIKIMIKIE

I had this at Volk’s at the first day we got to Japan. I think triple cheese burger is the name for this. It was so delicious by the way.  Fresh salad! I missed this because you can’t get a salad this fresh in the Philippines. Japan is just home for fresh vegetables.  Not good! I mean, it’s kinda good but it has bones in it which get stuck in between my teeth and my brackets so yeah not that good!  Disneysea’s smoked turkey! Always a win.  Yas! I enjoyed this. It’s not as hot as I thought it would be because it’s so perfectly hot and spicy. I finished. Ordered this from Hidagaya. Or Hidakaya?  Melon Soda! I’ve had melon soda enough for me not to miss it for a year. Melon soda is such a blessing.  This one! I missed this. I will never get tired of this. Yummy! Chicken Filled tenders with cheese! All of this and the one below is from Saizeriya.  This one!! Also soo yummy!  Cakes! I wish...

Hola!  The main purpose of us going to Japan is to actually put in order some of the stuff my father used to own and is now being distributed and stuff. Also, to put my father to rest. Here’s us the day we put my dad to rest. It was an emotional time. We went to Ebina after and ate at our favorite steak restaurant. Hungry Tiger. I remember the last time we ate there and it was still with dad. I will always remember this place because this is like our go to steak restaurant ever since I was a child. I may have over ate this visit but hey. Can I just share that this is probably the best bento I’ve had this trip. I didn’t each much bento per se but yeah this is the best. It’s curry rice and namba chicken from 7/11. We went to Daiso to finalize our pasalubongs for the whole barangay and my mom was like, let’s eat at a good ramen place.  We ended up here. My mom hated the restaurant but I used to eat here a lot with my co workers and I don’t hate it. The tantanmen was a-okay! But I...

I didn’t think I’d come to this point. I wore this for dad. For myself too. Mostly for dad though. And I didn’t think I’d like it to the point where I’d wear it again. But I definitely will. In Kyoto, dad. If I ever go there again. Anyways, we actually stayed at a Capsule Hotel which is sooo nice! I mean, Japan is just cleaner, in my opinion. The one in Dotonbori is not as clean but that’s even better than the one we stayed at in Korea. Or Hong Kong. Anyways. We started early morning and took a lot of pictures already. I booked through the Klook app which is what I always do and yeah it’s just convenient. Anyways, before the Kimono stuff these are the pictures that we took.  Because we came early in the morning, there weren’t a lot of people around yet so it’s like seeing the place at a different perspective. It was refreshing! This is just some random shot that I took which I don’t even know what signifies or whatever. I have been here not more than 6 times my lifetime and yeah al...

Kid at heart Dad’s friend dropped us near here and because we were kind of early still, we went to the nearest 7/11 first, then Lawson, and kind of passed by this playground. I mean, nothing much. Just stopped by to take Insta photos.  I can’t explain how thankful I am of this fam. So it’s just right to pay them a visit, right? Also, my boy Tora is just so big now! I’m surprised he still remembers me. I mean, like he still remembers our closeness and stuff. He wasn’t a bit shy when he saw me.  I don’t really have much to say. It’s been more than a year since I saw them and stuff. Loads of catching up happened and yeah, this is my family away from family when I was in Japan. Forever grateful! Sagamiono Station We took some photos at the station and normally, I wouldn’t but yeah I don’t really know when I’ll be back again so I took some with the mother dear. That’s about how our day went. A day well spent if you ask me. Adios! 

Meiji Jingu Shrine Takeshita Street Meiji Jingu Shrine Dotonbori Street Kyoto Station Know Where You Want To Go Many people ask me where to go and what to do. I always ask them what do they want to see and go from there. I am a MILLENNIAL. However, I would also like to see more than just the tall buildings and busy life of people. So if I were to give myself an advice, I’d say go to Tokyo and then to a more rural place like the Kansai area. It is crucial to plan ahead because as a tourist, I’d assume you’d be on a very limited time. Say, a week. If you don’t plan your trip, you’d waste your precious time looking for a place to go and before you know it, you’re already leaving tomorrow and you’ve already missed a lot! It’s true that you can always just go back to Japan but why not make the most out of “this” trip? You know what I mean?
