    McDonald's Spring Set

    March 29, 2016 2
    McDonald's Spring Set

    Camembert Spring Set. This is actually just one item from the bunch and I think is the most appealing and so I tried. The burger was good! Not to die for good but good anyways. The cheese tastes very subtle that my friend didn't even notice. WTF! Yun pa naman ang pangalan. It's basically Teriyaki Burger w/egg and camembert cheese. FYI, it's just yesterday that I knew what camembert is. LOL.
     

    I like ume flavoured stuff. I've tried lotsa ume Flavoured potato chips and so far I liked them all. Even before I tried, I watched Kinoshita Yuka from YouTube try this and she actually said that this kind of taste like those chips and I was like, Yas. It did taste like that but you know, nothing beats ketchup, I guess. But once in a while it's good to taste new things.


    This I don't really know but it's pretty! I won't bother check this one but I guess it's cherry because you know, Spring. It was actually really good! It kind of taste like the Pink Red Bull that I've tried. Or even the Pink Pepsi. Ciao!

    鳥忠さがみの亭 Chicken!

    March 28, 2016 0
    鳥忠さがみの亭 Chicken!

    Lunch time. I was actually craving for this because you know, I remember liking their chicken before and so you know, must come back. 


    Went with my food buddy/gala buddy and devoured! No mercy.


    It was so Chinese! Like, I never really got into a Chinese restaurant that looks quite Chinese. Most of the places are subtle. This one is all out! Like there are some feng sui-ish stuff there and lotsa mirrors! 


    Basically ordered Chicken because that's what they are known for anyways. For take out at least. Or so I think. I don't really know. I guess they have sushi as specialty actually.  

    Chicken Combo

    Karaage and chicken skin. The skin was good! The chicken was so-so but you know, kinda good. I'll just give them that.

    Tebasaki Karaage 

    This one is the winner. Like, you have to consume the chicken right away though. Also, they don't have lunch set menus which is a thing here in Japan so instead they give you a 20% hook-up until 2pm. Great deal! Ciao!

    Lost in Tochigi. Literally.

    March 27, 2016 0
    Lost in Tochigi. Literally.

    Just when I thought it couldn't be more rural than Gunma, I was wrong. Hello, Tochigi. 


    Here's the story. On my way to Gunma, from Yokohama, I always ride the Tokaido line/Takasaki line with no problem whatsoever, right? And I used to always check the train's destination. This time I didn't. I don't know why. Crazy. I just rode whatever train that stopped there not realizing that at some point, there will be 2 tracks and you know one train would lead to another place and whatever. I was careless. Anyways, it did stop at the places I am so familiar with and because my train was supposed to stop there anyway, I wasn't worried or anything. I usually sleep my way to Gunma. Yokohama crowd is hopeless though so I wait until Ueno or like Tokyo to get seated etc. When that happened, sleep followed up quickly. The good thing about me is that I can sense if I am near so I would like wake up, check remaining sleep time and all that. So yeah I think it was about an hour past Tokyo when I woke up and I was like, where am I? Then we kind of stopped at an unknown station (to me) and I was like, okay maybe this is just an unfamiliar one so Imma check the next station. Then voila! Still unknown. Then I was like, last one. And yeah still unknown. That's when I know I was lost. Goodness gracious. 

    And you know, Google Maps then told me I was in Tochigi Prefecture. Never heard. And it is 2 hours away from my destination. Man, I was 2 hours away from destination when I was in Tokyo. So you know, travel time doubled. Not fun.


    The good thing about Japan is that I don't have to pay for that trip. Like, I can just go back and re-center or something. Anyways, that's all. It's kind of a mini road-trippy travel though. I wish there were more than just fields to see. Ciao!

    Cosmo World 2.0

    Cosmo World 2.0

    The ulitimate goal is to actually ride all the rides in here and I'm proud to say that we're about 85 percent done. Or so I think hahaha. Fraud stats. Basically, from last time, we've done the famous clock and 2 coasters. And this time, the splash thing, a haunted rail, and a spinning galaxy thing. 


    The haunted rail train ride was surprisingly short and from what I remember, I probably screamed thrice so yeah there's that but also, maybe it's just me. Blame it to coffee. 


    I'll never get tired of this city ever! Like, there's too much beauty in this place.


    I kind of miss my red hurr. I wish it was easier to maintain. 

    It was kinda cold that night too. Just an FYI.

    With the man 


    I look lost. Literally. For some reason, my hair kind of matches my pants in this one yet again. 

    With the infamous heart thing.

      Cute family having dinner

    Delicious! 

    I liked this. I actually like melon pan by itself and who doesn't like ice cream, right? So this combo is just awesome! I had tiramisu and Bry got chocolate. 


    It was my first time to eat avocado not as fruit (or is it a veggie?) so I was kind of hesitant/confused because it is served with cheese but then you know, it all worked out.

    The Vernal Equinox

    March 20, 2016 0
    The Vernal Equinox
    Whatever that is. Actually, it's the alignment of the sun and moon that brings about this phenomenon. I don't really know so Imma stop. But anyways, they say it's the first day of Spring when that happens.


    To celebrate the situation, I bought this drink because 1, curiosity, 2, wala lang. And I still stand to my point that you know, Sakura is not meant to be eaten. 


    Then we went to Bronco Billy's to eat because that's like the closest we can get, I guess. I was actually very hesitant because you know, we only have literally 30 minutes to eat and no time to spare and when we got there, voila, number 2 from the waiting list. But still we ate there. Hahaha it was okay.


    It was alright! I mean, for what it is, it was alright. Very soft meat which is always a plus! Then there's like a salad bar and drink bar where you can refill to your heart's desire. 
     

    We ordered 200g of Arizona Steak. They do have variety of steak but we chose the one from Arizona because it was the fattiest. Fatty forever! It was kind of expensive! I guess because we were comparing it to the price of where we're supposed to eat but you know, we don't have time so yeah gotta go wherever we can. 

    That's all! Ciao!

    Peyong VS Peyoung Yakisoba?

    March 19, 2016 0
    Peyong VS Peyoung Yakisoba?

    Peyong vs Peyoung. Actually, it's kind of the same. I really can't tell the difference but you know, if I really have to choose, I'd choose the classic Peyoung. Just because I'm used to the taste. 


    They do look kind of the same. All the little things and all. The classic Peyoung being more expensive than this new Peyong. Interesting because it's under the same company. Look at them trying to make lotsa money. 


    The main difference is that the KAYAKU doesn't have little pork bits. Also, its sauce is milder compared to the other.

     
    It looks like this. Same thing basically. Minus the pork bits. Ciao!

    Sakura flavoured Pepsi

    March 17, 2016 0
    Sakura flavoured Pepsi

    I like trying out new things and this one, I'm kind of hesitant because I don't really like Sakura flavoured stuff. Because come on! Why? Cherry is kind of a different thing but Sakura? As in the tree or something? NO! Who would want to eat something from that? Sure it's pretty to look at but no, it's not food. 


    Anyways, it was okay. It taste the Pink Red Bull actually. I remember last time though that I saw Pepsi Pink and I actually didn't try but you know, I imagine it would actually taste the same. Ciao!

    Nissin Cup Noodlesss!

    March 12, 2016 2
    Nissin Cup Noodlesss!

    My favorite snack when I was in the Philippines and surprisingly, I kind of not crave for it as much now that I live here in Japan. Weird. 
     

    There are a lot more flavors than these because every now and then, they come up with limited editions and stuff. Interesting stuff actually. One time they came up with a spaghetti type thing which was kind of weird but you know, they gotta do what they gotta do, right?

    MY TOP 3
    Curry

    Good ol' basic curry because I sometimes think that Cheese Curry is too much for me. Still a favorite though!

    Chili Tomato

    Not particulary spicy. I can't explain how it taste like but I like how subtle the flavor is. 

    Cheese Curry

    Good! But you know, different kind of good. This is not like a better version of the Curry as you would expect. It's like it has its own thing. 

    There's actually a museum of these cup noodles very near my place. I should visit soon!! :) Ciao!

    Too Foggy

    March 07, 2016 0
    Too Foggy

    Not really into short posts but I just want to share that it was way to foggy yesterday (3/7/16). Like, after gym, I was kind of blown away because I thought it was just too much hot bath and sauna or maybe my poor eyesight but after blinking several times, I was like, oh this is real life then. So yeah, it was really really hard to deal with but I thought it was fun to kind of snap pictures of it and stuff. Not even that cold that time. Felt like I was walking thru some TriWizard maze or something. Ciao!

    Red Hair NO MORE

    March 07, 2016 1
    Red Hair NO MORE

    Don't get me wrong! I loved my red hair. But I felt like it was getting out of control and so I had to do something about it. 


    Actually, my plan was to actually grow it out until it's half and half. But as it's making its way down, I felt a little conscious that I'm not getting the look I wanted to achieve. If I were patient,it would   have been gorg but you know, being the impatient person that I am, I should have asked for that style from the very start. Also, why red? It bleeds when I shower with hot water. It kinda looks like a worn out red tbh. It's soooo hard to maintain. In short, not really for me. 


    My main problem was my roots. The line of discoloration was hella harsh. I was thinking to myself that if only I could ombre the shiz out of my hair, I'd be fine but we all know I can't do that so yeah. 

    After color

    Still not happy with the color because I thought it'd be dark-ish but it turned lighter at the roots and so you know, brown and red is kind of not a good mix but I guess it'd do it for me for a while and so next time I'm thinking of buying like strawberry or raspberry brown which I don't get but is a thing so that I can ombre or somehow blend things out.


    But I'm kind of happier. Also, I don't get "that look" that much anymore. Ciao!

    YouTubers I'm Watching 2016

    YouTubers I'm Watching 2016
    I do watch a lot of YouTube videos. But considering the wide variety of YouTubers I am subscribed to, I would probably watch videos coming from these people first. I do change my preference often that I can probably do another blog post about this in like a month. I probably won't.

    PRINCESSJOULES

    Yas. Mother Sparkles herself. So fresh! I like her sense of style and all that so yeah. Not to compare but I like her like I like Gigi. That kind of like. 

    ROMANATWOODVLOGS

    I actually like Brit more than Roman. I think. But anyways, this is like a good sneak preview of what reality looks like. Except they got everything really. Also, who does fun stuff everyday like they do?

    木下ゆうか

    Oogui eater Yuka Kinoshita. I don't know but when it's dinner time or whatever eating time, I like to watch her video because you know, I usually eat alone and watching her makes a whole lot of difference. I wish I can eat and still maintain a slim figure like her. IMPOSSIBORU. Life is unfair.
