Yaezakura Spotted!

Yaezakura Spotted!








Just when you thought everything's gone, nope. I actually saw this on my way to Hashimoto to look for stuff. I was like, is this for real right now? Because it's been quite a while since I saw the rest of its sisters on full bloom but it was awesome. 












It was awesome! Now, it's not like they have hundreds of them lined up or whatever. Actually, just two trees standing tall. Whatevs. 












They too would be retiring soon so I'm just happy to see them before they go.












I actually thought they aren't Sakura. Thought it might be plum, peach, or whatever. Being the clever that I am, I Googled it and it's a match. Yaezakura it is.

Taking Over Ueno. 3.30.15

Taking Over Ueno. 3.30.15

So...I went to Ueno the same day I went to Nakameguro. It was kind of a frustrating trip and I felt like I didn't really made the most out of it. I was supposed to meet with a friend but since Ueno is big, we can't seem to find each other. We were actually in the same convenience store and the same flower shop but in different places but all in Ueno Station that's how confusing it is around there but uhm yeah. I can go on ranting but I know I'll just get more frustrated than I already am or was so let's just pretend it all didn't happen. 










I happened to visit when it was announced to the whole world that it's gonna be the full bloom. So many people!! Seriously couldn't even stop to take pictures without thinking that the people walking behind would be interrupted. 










Red lanterns for Ueno. 










They have loads of shrines in Ueno. I plan on visiting when there's not much crowd. I think it would be amazing. 










Okay so we can't seem to find each other, right? We then decided to meet at the park itself but then nah, the zoo. I got lost and had to walk so far away to enter the zoo. Curse you maps! I actually followed the track and when it said arrived, it was this nothingness. So bad. Okay take that, my map take me to places I guess I can just let go of it. 










It was different from how I remember it. Or it was probably just crowded so I sure will revisit when it's not that crazy. 










Tora kun. OMG I must tell this to Hidemi loves. I'm sure she'll be thrilled. 










It was unbelievably hot that day so I had one of this to cool down a little bit. Oh well I'm sure I can find lotsa things to do next time but I'm actually glad that this trip happened. Made me realize things.

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!
