    Hello, Kyoto

    February 24, 2019 0
    Hello, Kyoto
    I’ve been meaning to go to Kyoto ever since I set foot in this country. Well you know, shrines are fantastic but I don’t know why people with no religious connection to it would want to visit the place. PS, I always feel emotional when I go to these kind of places. 


    I had a micro heart attack when my camera didn't recognize the memory card. Good thing the camera itself can format the memory card. Goodness gracious!

     Selfie

    If I didn't have all my stuff with me, I could have enjoyed going to place a little bit more I think. Also, heels. Killer.


    Kyoto! First place I went to is this famous place. It was soo tiring! Heels I tell you. Enemies! Also, my old arse cannot do this kind of places anymore. I did not achieve anything at the end of the day. But oh well! Also had a problem with my camera which is so bummer! But at the end of the day, I succeeded. Coz come on. Why the hell wouldn’t I, right? 


    I went back to the main station and did Kyoto Tower! Not as cool as the other towers but it was close. I guess. 

    Kyoto Tower
    Kyoto, everyone. 
    Nice to meet you.
    The place is near the station so I went.

    I don't know if I told you guys already but I become emotional with this kind of places. It's so serene. I feel like I'm too vulnerable for this kind of places. I feel like they're taking away my soul.

    They have lots of this before. I likey. 

    I was also able to roam around the city again at the end of my Kansai trip. I went to more temples and everything. I was actually supposed to go to the Aquarium but it was like super late already and sayang lang because they were already closing so you know. Next time. Also, I failed to tick off three items from my Kyoto list but I don’t really regret it. Again, it’s just me. 

    Next time, maybe. 

    I ended my Kyoto trip with this. Delicious!

    Taking Over Kansai 2019

    February 21, 2019 0
    Taking Over Kansai 2019



    Yas! OOTD, 

    Shinkansen is Life

    So, as an introduction, I actually spent 5 days in the Kansai area and this is how I spent it. 

    Day 1- Kyoto-Osaka
    Day 2- Osaka/Kobe
    Day 3- Osaka (Universal Studios Japan)
    Day 4- Nara/Kyoto

    I should have spent 5 days to be honest coz you know. Never enough. Anyways! I hate the idea of it though. The idea of always wanting more. I mean, you know, like, everyone should just YOLO for ef’s sake. I’m pretty sure my other self is kind of outraged right now.


    I actually planned on taking the night bus because at this point, I am actually already unemployed so I don’t have any deadlines to catch or whatsoever but I still decided to go with the Shinkansen because you know, might as well, right? Night bus is okay too I guess but yeah I think a Shinkansen ride would kind of complete the experience. 


    Okay so I had this bento, right? It's only my 5th time riding the Shinkansen to Kansai and I don't know. I still don't know whether or not they have microwave oven on board so I kind of ate this cold. Not again. You know what, I should have warmed this up regardless of the time because the rice was the problem. Anyways, still okay. No choice. Please look forward to the upcoming blogs! Thank you! That's all!

    My Goodbye Party!

    My Goodbye Party!
    Okay, this happened 2 months ago but still gonna post this coz I didn't really quit my job until like, last month. Oooppps.


    We celebrated the party after work. Just nearby the place we work. Well actually near the station. We chose that so we can all easily go home after and so that those who didn't go to work can come easily.


    My beautiful Nepali friend Maya which I love so much even though we don't get to see each other so much.


    It was an awesome party. I don’t think I can thank everyone enough.



     I wasn't able to eat much but all good! I think everyone enjoyed the food as well. Always nice to eat together and stuff.




    The only food time I got because I had to pick up a few people from the station.


    This is where I worked for almost 5 years and I will forever cherish it! :) Thank you everyone for the guidance and wisdom you imparted. Or not! Hahaha anyways it doesn't really matter. I actually enjoyed everyday that I worked here. I will miss this place.

    Caretta Shiodome illumination 2018

    Caretta Shiodome illumination 2018

    Frozen and Tangled. They actually did these two alternately so of course I had to see both. It was soo worth it. Now, having quitted my Tokyo job kind of made this all a little too bothersome so to speak but still , I kind of managed to get my lazy arse up and go about my day.


    Frozen was up the first off day I had back from my trip to Korea so I did that. I don’t know if I told you guys before but Frozen as a whole movie, I kind of like. Anna, not so much. Elsa is okay. Although she was kind of just scared the whole time so I don’t like that about her. Anyways! The illumination! As always, I really liked the illumination here best! Like, there’s no competition going on thank you very much!


    The next time I went, it’s up for Tangled! Loved that movie. Meh, actually...Okay so maybe not the place to talk about movies but yeah, it was hella perfect! Man, please do MULAN next year!


    So like, around 9:00pm they change the theme for an hour and you know, I actually didn’t stick around much for it but it was Beauty and the Beast that they did from last year that they’re showing. I think I also do Winnie the Pooh but oh well. So yeah. That’s it.



    Gorgeous! I will never get tired of this place. I may have mentioned that a million of times already but just for the record you know. I know there's already a record somewhere but I don't know where to pull it from so let there be a lot of record. Hahaha


    They have the theme displays up the building if that's what you even call it but anyways. I believe this is the same rose they displayed last year with few of its petals down already. It's kind of nice. My goodness it'll be so epic to watch the last one fall. And capture it in slow motion! AHHH!


    Also, I really think you would appreciate the VLOG better. I'm gonna try my best to get on it. OMG can I just share that I had to contact Instagram for a song copyright something? It was insane but all is well guys! CIAO!

    Roponggi Illumination 2018

    Roponggi Illumination 2018

    Roponggi!



    Hi there! So you know, the first time I went, the tower was this color which I know they do from time to time depending what there is to celebrate.



    It was still beautiful as it is. But last year's team was kind of epic and this year's a no match, sorry. All they have for a show is the blinking thing they have once in a while.

    selfie

    I went twice to this place because the first time I went, it was kind of not a proper show yet hence there were crews assessing the situation and all that. 


    What's up, pants? Hang on there!

    The second time was kind of unexpected. My people needed to do something there and tagged me along.


    The second time I went, the show was on! Was so pretty!


    It was RED. I like it red actually. Classic. 

    So yeah. That's about it actually. Nothing too fancy. I enjoyed though! See yah!

    Korean Beauty Haul

    The two CC cream I got from Pretty Skin was so awesome! I liked it! I haven't tried the expensive masks yet but I will get to it soon! The freebies I got was also nice! I think I might actually be Korean.


    Showin' my skin some lovin'. Gone were the days when Baby Powder is all it takes to brighten up thy skin. Hello high school years! Now, everything you literally have a cream for. Goodness gracious! 


    Second haul from Myeongdong as well. I tell you! It's where things are at, girl! 


    Loved everything! Like, the hand cream I still wasn't able to get my hands to, oh. But the rest, to die for! That's all! Ciao!
