Santa Monica Crepes | Harajuku

Image
If you've ever been to this part of Tokyo, you'd know that it's all about crepes. Or maybe just like one of our customers from New York said, "TOO KIDDY". Anyways. I decided to try Santa Monica crepes because they have 2 shops in one street and that made me think this place is good. Let's see!  Chocolate Banana (Double Whipped) Classic. I mean, if there's a crepe shop that can mess this up, I don't even know if they have the right to operate. Back when I was still a kid and less complicated, this is my go-to flavor because you know, can't be bothered with all the fancy flavors and stuff. This is not top of the roof good but it was a familiar taste.  Strawberry something  This was delicious! The balance was so good! This combo might be my favorite in the sweet department.  Matcha  Hype. I didn't like this as much as I liked the strawberry one. But it was also good.  Pizza Crepe Yaaasaassss! My fave! I was actually hesitant to try their food sele...

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!

A Quickie in Shibuya

Image
Selfie Shibuya Crossing From another interview. I was really hoping I'd get the job but it turned out they're just finding reserves for their expansion that who knows when will happen. But I was very happy with the interview. I was even happier this time than the last one. And it turned out the first company that I went to is not that good. Well according to the consultant I've talked to anyways. So there's that. Kind of on the way so I went to Shibuya. I really wanted to roam around the city but I have work that night so I just ate ramen. And stopped by a little while in Hachiko park. Not its official name. Haha. I also wanted to drop by Lush but we all know that it's gonna take a lot of time choosing what to get and all that so I didn't dare enter. Anyways. I was in the park, right? I saw a lady holding a flower passed by me and I didn't really mind and then I turned to look at some other stuff I don't know and then I glanced back to Hachiko and I saw ...

A Quickie in Harajuku

Image
For some reason, I'm trying to venture in a new career so I'm kind of going for interviews here and there. This one was not in Harajuku but I went after the interview anyways. Mind you! This is not even "because it's on the way" kind of situation. I have to transfer twice I believe? Dedication.  The Harajuku Station Ancient looking station that's also a touristy spot because tourists seem to like to take pictures here. Which is inconvenient sometimes but whatevs.  I actually thought of going to Shinjuku but I guess my feet killed me that time so I was like NVM. I don't like it in Shinjuku anyways. But you know, I should try to wander again and maybe I'd have a different opinion. People change. Yeah? Hot Cocoa  Hot Cocoa on a hot afternoon. It doesn't makes sense. After wandering around, I decided it's time to eat. I stopped by a place called La Pausa. It's actually like Saizeriya in a sense.  Good Ambiance  Potato Fry Tuna and Spinach I gue...

A Quickie in Akihabara

Image
Akihabara If anything, I'm really happy that I came here because you know, it's not a place I would go to on my own. It's just that I don't really know what to do there. Not interested.  Vape Shop  Main reason of coming here.  Had a healthy dinner. It's been a while since I had shabu-shabu and it's not like how I remember it. I know for sure that I'm not doing it right. Sukiyaki style on the left and no idea what's on the right. It sure has some fancy name but it doesn't really taste like anything. WATER?  I do like the gadgets that I have but I don't go gaga over other techie stuff and that's mainly what this place is known for. I heard that there's a shrine here for IT students and the like. Anything that has to do with gadgets basically. I've been told that this place gets really busy.  Maid cafe I kind of want to experience though. I know it's creepy hearing that from me because I imagine this kind of place being popular with ...

Tokyo Tower is Love

Image
  We finally did it. We went to Tokyo Tower because I told Bry that it's been ages since I last went so after we watched the Hunger Games, we went to TT. For some reason, I know I have been here but I definitely have no memory of it whatsoever.  I don't know if it's like an everyday thing but when we went, they were having this food bazaar that we fully enjoyed.  Beautiful. I told Bry that if I see The Eiffel Tower I might cry.  We weren't able to take pictures of all the food so bare with me. What I'm eating here is grilled saba which was awesome! I think it's like 350/piece and like 1000/3 pieces but the man selling was kind enough to give us 2 each for the price of one. Awesome sauce. We also had this dashi udon which was nice because it was chilly that day. They come with daicon sushi which we survived to eat. Not really our cup of tea. I had to force Bry to eat his sushi. We also had karaage, grilled chicken, and taiyaki. So as you may know, we had a full s...
