Calbee Curry Chips

OnceJapanaTime July 27, 2016 0

They nailed it. OMG I thought it will be another lame product but this line was actually good. But you know, still don't get why they're constantly releasing lotsa flavors. Back in my time, it's just original and nori. And it was okay. Now, it's all confusing what to get. Anyways.

Can't really choose which I like better but I really enjoyed both flavors. They both have their signature.

This one is kind of spicy but tolerable. It's a delicious curry flavor actually. I'm kind of tired of fake tasting flavors of chips but this one is legit. It really taste like you're eating your regular KARE so to speak.

This one though! It's more hot than it is spicy but I still like it. This actually reminds me of when I had dinner with my friend Maya at this Indian/Nepali restaurant. Both of this I recommend. Man, it was good. Ciao!

New Calbee Potato Chips.

OnceJapanaTime July 17, 2016 0

Huge fan of potato chips. In fact, it's my guilty pleasure. Sometimes even though I don't feel like eating the whole bag, I do! Just because. It's a problem. Anyways.

Calbee is my favorite potato chips brand and they do come up with new flavors a lot but I feel like that they're doubling up this time for some reason. Coming up with flavors week after week.

Ume

Shio

Wasabi

Needless to say, Wasabi is my least favorite. Shio is okay. Ume is good. I probably won't buy anything from this line though but it's not totally a disaster.

Garlic Soy Sauce

Not really a fan but generally a good flavor and I did enjoy actually.

Sour and Cream

What could go wrong with good old sour and cream, right? This was awesome. Not quite remarkable though but it was delish. Anyways, ciao!

Favorite but Deleted Instagrams

OnceJapanaTime July 15, 2016 1

These are my deleted Instagram photos because for some reason, I feel like going for a themed Instagram and these are kind of off themed? So yeah whatever. From 200 plus post, only 20 plus remained as of this writing. Check out my Instagram if you want to. http://instagram.com/satomikie

My very first Instagram. Way back 2013, I believe. We took this at lola's room over at my auntie's house in Cavite.

This is a sign I found at UST Botanical Garden where I used to have some courses. Mine is Violet. What's yours?

I cross-stitched this because for some reason, I feel like I should be here. Parisian by heart perhaps. Also, a friend from Sydney said it doesn't look like the Eiffel Tower at all. How dare he! Haha

Sunset at Bataan. It was the most beautiful sunset I have ever watched in my life. I'm a sucker at this kind of things.

National Kidney Transplant Institution. Rushed lola to this hospital because it was where his doctor was during the time she had difficulty in breathing. It was also the day my lola was supposed to get her first Dialysis session. It was moved to a later date by the way.

Thesis. I mean, man, I don't even know how we made it thru this hell. This was the most stressed I've been my whole Internship. Maybe not. Hahaha of course I've been more stressed.

My nail polish during my graduation day. It was a match to my dress that time.

When I knew for sure that I passed the MTLEX, I was like, "new life, new hair." Probably the shortest haircut I rocked since elementary school. Oh can I just share that when I was probably 4-5, my lola took me and my cousin to this barber shop near our place and I literally cried when my hair was getting cut. Mukhang tanga lang. Hahaha

Daranak and Batlag falls was so amazing!! Waters were tested and they were fine, darling.

My routine. I am a Medical Technologist in case you didn't know. And this was routine for me back then. I kind of miss it.

Disney with my mama. One of the best times of my life ever. Although I still regret that I made her ride that Starjet thing because it made us both dizzy.

New Year (2015). I was both happy and sad during this time. You know the drill.

Minato Mirai is probably a place I would love to hate. But I can't. Sometimes I need to have something to look at and realize how far I've gone from there. Well.

South Korea was wonderful. I see myself going back there. A lot!! I feel like I belong, you know? Lotte World was my favorite.

Childhood haven. I'm so happy to be able to come back after maybe more than 10 years of not going. It was familiar and at the same time strange.

Anyways, that's just some of my Instagram favorites. Ciao!

Rhinoplasty | 6 mos. Post-Op

swelling rhinoplasty July 06, 2016 1

For all of you who didn't know, I had my nose done six months ago and from then, it improved a lot. No more swelling, I guess? When touched (should I be touching?), it still feels kind of stiff but way better than before (oops). I like how it kind of feels more natural now. I probably got used to it or something. I should be taking care of it more though I think. When exposed to cold weather, it turns red which kind of freaks me out but yeah, in general, great improvement. I have very sensitive skin so if I get a pimple on my nose, I kind of freak-out because you know, what if it's an infection or something? Oh, World Wide Web. You give me mini heart attacks sometimes. Also, now, I don't really get bothered by my sleeping position but I should really be careful. No one really wants a displaced implant. I know that it will still get better over time so I will probably update you one last time about my rhinoplasty. I probably already told you but I remember my surgeon said that what you see in 6 months is what you'll see in 1 year. So talk to you about this then. Ciao!

Top 5 things I learned in Korea

Wanderlust May 28, 2016 0

1. Korean Glow is real

The glow is reeeaaal! See, I don't know if it's the air or something but it is real! The glow only happened on the face though. The rest of my skin cracked like crazy.

Comparison is real

2. They're scary drivers

Everyone!!! As in everyone. Okay maybe not everyone. I was confused for a second. I certainly didn't want to die then and there.

3. They can use their phones whilst at work

No idea why but people are with their phones at work and all that. At the restaurant, mall, as in almost everywhere. OMG can I just say? When we just arrived, the van driver was even on his phone. Get that straight, JTB.

Not this taxi

4. Not so honest taxi drivers

When we were at Namsan Tower going to Myeongdong, this Taxi that we consulted said it's 20 dollars. I mean, why though? Is there a policy that drivers couldn't turn on their meters at night or something? So we were like, no thank you. Then we
went to the next taxi and this guy have the guts to get out his taxi, told the driver next to him that it's 20 dollars. Even sort of pushed my buddy inside the cab. Then for all we know, it didn't even took us long to get there. I'd say probably
9000 won max which is roughly 9 dollars.

5. I look like a Korean

I hear this a lot. And I've heard it there. Just people casually talking to me in Korean. I remember being asked to take a picture of this lady at that particular 3D photo and she was like giving me instructions on how she like it and stuff. Di
ko naman gets teh. Hahaha anyways.

That's all of my learnings. I had fun, really. Ciao!

Korean Beauty Haul

OnceJapanaTime May 25, 2016 1

Bought everything at Myeongdong. Gotta love Myeongdong!

I actually have no idea when it comes to Korean brands so I just went for it. Easy peasy. There's a lot to choose from!! I honestly think I should have bought more. But whatevs.

I heard Koreans are big on Natural ingredients. And based on their skin, I believe them. Hahaha. Can't wait to try these!

Can I just say? They're big on samples as well! I was fan girling when the lady at the counter showed me the Big Bang postcard. Bless her.

Beyond

The lady at the store sold me to this. She was so madaldal and was very helpful actually. She said this moisturizes and brightens. Haven't tried this yet. Would be starting soon.

Freebies

Gotta love them freebies.

Lotte World | When in Seoul

What to do in Seoul May 21, 2016 0

Lotte World! I know it's kind of lame to look forward to going an amusement park when going to a different country and stuff but I was really looking forward to this particular trip.

It's my first time going here and it seems like they were having some sort of a parteh.

We weren't able to enter this one. But would like to try soon. I can only imagine my sisters going wild on this. The whole place will go wild actually.

It has been said that Lotte World is the largest indoor amusement park and I can see why. It's pretty big and kind of dense so there's really a lot of things to do.

They also have an outdoor park which has all the scary rides. Too bad we didn't ride. Also, I have no idea whose castle this belongs to.

Tower selfie

Kiddie ride because apprently, friend kind of gave up on scary rides already. This is our very first ride and this literally gave me headache for a while. The circle is fairly small so that means you turn around faster, right? Yeah. Then! Gracious goodness with my hips. I actually thought I couldn't fit in but I did.

Best photobomber ever

We rode this Atlantis thing though. Also probably the longest queue among those that we rode. Not even half of Disneyland's. It said that it's a 45 minute wait but we were able to ride less than that. And yes, I did time.

We entered Snow White's Castle as well. I wish it was wider though. Also, not for adults because who would be happy to climb up a flight of stairs.

The Castle

My Peter Pan and Wendy Darling. Can I just say? Totally not expecting to see him there. Not complaining.

With the Captain Hook

Alice

When we went out the park, it's kind of hot so we had these. Mango and Strawberry slurpees.

Also, we were intrigued by this. It said Chicken Cola and we thought it's just its flavor so when I ordered, I was expecting a normal chicken but the guy there pointed the straw and I was like, what? But got it anyway. It happened to be this. So cool!
