Losing My Wallet (AGAIN)

Image
Being the good story teller that I am, I’m gonna tell you what happened from start to finish because you know, I don’t really find my blog so informative so when it comes to things you probably don’t care about, Imma be all out! Hahaha so you know, after our work in Harajuku, we decided to go to Roppongi, right? But since it was still quite early, we were like, we should kill time first so I told Shella we should get the thing school children always eat recently and we were brought into this little stall. These thing must be hard to make because we waited for like 10-15 minutes max. Back at work, Moe was making fun of my pink winter coat and they had the bear at the shop so Shella was like, must take picture and send it to Moe! Fun started there to be honest. So yeah moving on... My previous post was about the Roppongi Illumination that we went to, right? After the whole thing, we ate dinner and when it’s already time to pay, I figured I didn’t have my wallet with me. Goodness gracious...

Roppongi Illumination 2017

Image
Roppongi. I went with my co-worker Shella to Roppongi brcause you know, it’s one of the places I don’t dare go alone. Kind of.  We were kind of lost at first but the thing about illumunation in Japan is that you can get lost and still find something beautiful to appreciate.This green and red tree for example. The transition.  Then this already transitioned tree which is equally as beautiful! But you know, it’s probably just me.  We actually targeted two illumination spots in Roppongi and this is the first one. They had this show of something I can’t fully understand but it was beautiful.  It’s like the one in Shiodome but less magical. I’m so sorry Roppongi. It’s probably just me.  It was still beautiful though.  Roppongi Candle and Amber is the theme of Keyakizaka-Dori. I didn’t understand Candle because it’s just blue but they had Candle and Amber tree which makes a little sense.  Christmas Tree My Blogger Friend Tokyo Tower as usual was so beautiful...

Missed my First Ever Flight (What to do?)

Image
Somebody wake me up from this disaster. So...it happened. As I am typing this, I missed a flight for the very first time in my life. Also, the most ugly part of it all is that I am the one who have to pay for the damage. I am pretty much calm now so here are 5 tips I would like to share with you so that you'd be able to keep your cool too. stuck in traffic  1. RELAX So, my limousine bus from point A to point B got stuck in traffic. We were so behind schedule. I remember 10 minutes before the closing time, we were still 19kms away from destination. My check-in counter closed at 11:40 this morning and the bus that I was in arrived 5 minutes pass that. Still trying to put up a fight, I swear I run so fast to check what I can do. Not much, apparently. I went to the information center and asked what I can do. She said check the counter to see if there's anyone there and ask if I can still enter but when I went, no one. LITERALLY no one. Nanghina ako mga bes. 2. TRY TO ACCEPT IT. Let...

Shinjuku Illumination 2017

Image
Shortly after my Akihabara trip, I went to Shinjuku hoping it would be colorful again. It was colorful 3 years ago. It was pink again like it was last year. I’m not complaining. Much.  It was still very nice. I mean, if it’s the season, it’s always nice to appreciate all the little things like this. I mean, looking at it, it’s actually slightly different. Also, the Marine Tower is lit this season!  Also, I swear I’ve seen it lit in green and gold/orange.  It was pretty in pink! At this very point, I was very sleepy but I was so happy!  Also, not so far away from the Southern Terrace, are small places with lights on as well.  Also, they added hearts!  2 hearts.  I don’t know if it was present last year but they also had this thing going on outside the new Shinjuku Station. It was pretty in blue.   Also, this drink. It was okay. You know, I don’t really like raspberry in general but this candied raspberry thing is good.  They also have thi...

Akihabara Illumination 2017

Image
I think I have mentioned before that I don’t really have a business to do in Akihabara which have not changed yet as of this writing but ya know you gotta go where you gotta go! I actually went to buy a laptop and I knew they have a mini illumination thingy going on and so yeah! It was cute.  They have this illumination thing going on very near the station. It was actually the first kick of this year’s illumination post so I was really very excited.  selfie Akihabara has its charm. I probably just haven’t discovered it yet. I mean, most people I ask usually say it’s their fave spot in Tokyo. How wrong they can be, right? Surprisingly, this is my favorite thing in the whole set-up. It’s very simple but I like it.  mini trees This Christmas Tree shaped structure seems to be the highlight of the illumination. It did not disappoint.  It’s not extravagant whatnot but it’s something. It’s actually just outside of a big bu...
