Friend's Birthday Dinner

Image
Since we don't really have much time out, times like this are usually cherished. Back home, we do usually give time for times like this. After school, after work, whatever. Now, we do make way to be able to have something done during our one hour break. It sucks. But fun.  The team!  The Birthday girl is actually my neighbor and I'm just glad that I was able to find a friend nearby my place. Also, someone who share the same idea than mine. Kind of. Anyways, Happy 25th Birthday! 

Japan Dentist Experience

Image
One thing you have to know about dentist here in Japan is that it takes time. Like, so much time. You have to go there every week or when your next schedule is due. Don't get me wrong though! Many of my workmates testified that dental stuff done here is almost good for a lifetime so if you're staying here in Japan for quite a while and considering having some dental works done, then I suggest you start now.  Me at the dentist! Anyways, being covered by the Japanese Health Insurance, it didn't cost me much. Or so I would like to think. But I also think that it's expensive. Let's just put it this way. The "discounted" price per session that I paid here is the full price I would have to pay in the Philippines. Or even more! Even though apparently, Philippine Health Insurance system doesn't think oral health is of importance. I'm just saying. But in general, one should not convert/compare currency when in different places (I ALWAYS DO).  Anyways, I was...

Busy Bee-Day

Birthday cake of Tita Lea. It was delicious! I really like cakes here in Japan. I mean, it doesn't taste fake. Although I must admit that I'm also into that "nothing but sugar" taste of cakes in the Philippines. Variety! Gotta love 'em.  Groupie!  This actually happened a day before our celebration in our workplace. Double celeb, it is.  I had Mixed Fruit Yogurt Parfait which was good! I don't know if I should be consuming this for breakfast though but whatever!  Then I also had this Scrambled Egg Breakfast set. It was a good breakfast! Anyways, that's just what's up recently. 

Tropical Pockys

Image
I have seen these lately and even though I don't like the flavors, I thought I'd give it a try. It's Pocky so I mean, what could go wrong, right?   The coconut is okay. I don't know if it's just me but I don't really like dessicated coconut on anything. Give me fresh, fine. You know what I mean? The coconut flavor is so subtle to the point that I don't really mind it. So yeah. I enjoyed this pack.  The citrus thing though I have a little bit of problem with. It  reminds me of a very cheap childhood snack. The Lemon flavored Rebisco Crackers. I'm not saying that it's a bad snack! It's actually alright. But when I think about it, why would I buy something probably 5 times more expensive than something that tastes just the same? Get it? It tastes cheap, that's what I'm getting into.  Anyways, these are products that I was like, if you never try, you never know. Now I know! :)

Life Updates! :) But mostly Food.

The sun is bright and up. And hot if I may add. Weather in Japan right now is very offensive. Like, it feels so hot! It's very nasty. It can get hotter because it's not even summer-summer yet but it feels like it.  I know it's hotter in the Philippines but for some reason, I feel like summer in the Philippines is more tolerable than it is here. Is it just me?  Bought this waffer thing because I've seen it in BuzzFeed's Americans try Dutch Snacks. Fancy. It's actually quite good. It sells for under 100 yen here and I thought it was cheap but thinking about it, for a piece, it's quite expensive.  Bought this cake because I thought it was cheesecake but it actually wasn't. It was good though!  Been obsessed with this steak lately. I've seriously had 6 meals of this last week. Good stuff!  Nothing too complicated because I bought it seasoned and all I need to do is to fry them. Life!  The night sky! For some reason, it looks fab. If I were not late the n...

Visiting Kanuma Park

Image
I don't know why horse shoes because I didn't see horses but anyways.     As usual, I went because I don't have anything to do. I seriously want to thank Google Maps for all these adventures of mine. It comes in handy.     Lovers. Like, really inseparable. I stayed in the park for about 2 hours and they stayed as is. Like swimming behind those screens and not going anywhere. I wonder what's up?      Hooray for glasses! My eyes are failing me, kind of. Well it's probably me failing my eyes but anyways, I seriously need to keep wearing glasses.       Kanuma is a small park where you can probably jog around and like, watch swans, geese, turtles, and fishes swim all day. There's also a biking route and a small playground for kids.  You go, turtle!  For some reason, they look pretty scary to me.  There's a goose there that's very mean and would fight with this other goose when it's around him and then the ot...

Taking Over Yamashita Koen. 5.11.15

Image
Lots of pictures!!! I went to Yamashita Koen as recommended by an auntie and it was awesome! I was informed that the roses were in full bloom so I was like, since I don't really have anything to do, why not go?  Mind you I actually walked from Sakuragicho Station to Yamashita koen and I tell you it is not near. I actually thought they were just side by side. Meh. Most of the buildings on the way to the park  are vintage looking though so it was kind of nice to look at.  My kind of view.  The port Overlooking Sakuragicho  Awesome flower Pink Roses Selfie with Red Roses The fountain I don't know but this I think is the main attraction of the park already. Like, if it's not rose season, I think this is the only nice part of the park.  Can I just share something? I therefore conclude that I don't really have much luck with cameras. Like, I brought my DSLR with me, right? Before I actually leave the house, I grabbed my DigiCam from the counter out of I don't kno...
