Nakameguro @ Day Time

Wanderlust April 22, 2018 0

And I’m back indeed. I was actually thought twice about this but then I remembered that this would actually be my last Spring in Japan so I guess why not?

Just like predicted, most of the Sakura already fell from its tree and yeah I guess that one is another thing to look forward to.

I also went there with a new camera. Will blog about it shortly after this.

Man, I was so red. Can I just say? I had a very dramatic encounter before this trip and I was so relieved so it was kind of nice walking around.

So pink!

There were ducks! Soo nice.

Soo nice.

Also, this day was probably the last nice day to visit the place for Sakura viewing. Like, if you’re late for this whole thing, the day I went was probably the latest you can go!

the sakura fall I’m talking about

Yas. Gyu Tan is life.

Moke’s! I always go here during Sakura season. I was gonna let go of it this year but I was like, no! So despite the opening hour moved to a later time, I waited. Nothing dramatic though lol it was moved for like an hour.

I got this!

Nakameguro @ Night 2018

Wanderlust April 19, 2018 0

I went to Nakameguro because you know, about time I take a break from all the work that I’ve been doing. I went there at around 4 in the afternoon and it was my first time going there when it’s very crowded and festive. What else do I have to say?

Definitely very different than just going alone. But also kind of nice because you get to enjoy the view with the rest of the crowd. You know what I mean?

I had to go to this. Because if I wait for my next off, it wouldn’t be this pretty anymore.

FLY ME TO THE MOON

I just realized I said it’s different that just going alone when I still went alone only at different time. LOL.

This is very clever to me. No?

I had oysters! Actually thought they’d be oyster shots when I ordered them but this was very good too!

SPARKLING WINE

The wine was not even good but the whole idea of it is very charming. Strawberries were very sour too! Put them both together is not any good but when you add walking around Nakameguro in the equation, quite fine.

Spring

Oh you know, the thought that I won’t be here in Japan next Spring is kind of haunting. Life must go on, I guess? I’ll be back for you, Japan Spring! I will! Remember that. I hope Spring in the US is fine.

Also had Ttokbeokki. I mean, it was not bad.

Nakakaganda ng very slight ang lights.

I really prefer the day but you know, will I go there again at night? Yes.

Nakameguro festival

They had this very light show at the end or start of the road. It was magical. I liked it! That’s all!

Korean Night Out! Annyeong!

Shin Okubo April 09, 2018 0

Almost once (twice or thrice) a year, we do this. We eat-out out of the accumulated money we gather from our tip box plus whatever money our head manager give us. It was around 300 bucks.

I just got to talk to these girls and I guess they’re my faves. Well Natalie I’ve known since forever but she just turned 18 so we just recently got into talking.

Japanese Drugstore Makeup! Again.

Maybelline April 08, 2018 0

So when I was at the counter, the pharmacist was like, it must be hard being a girl. Heck, yes! Anyways, I bought this because I guess I’m so ready for new make up and that I’m ready to welcome the orange phase. Also known as the tita phase. I’m so over with pink. Pft. Anyways, here’s what I got from the drugstore and what I think about it so far.

Being a tita comes with having to take care of your skin. I never thought in my life that I have to do this everyday to prevent future damage. Thank goodness for my Asian genes though.

I seriously don’t get this. I had something similar before. I didn’t get that either. Anyways, all I can say is that this is definitely not a pore eraser. Oh maybe they should specify how big of a pore it can cover. Mine is extra!

Can’t believe that I’m the fool again. Westlife, anyone? So yeah, when I was looking for foundations, I was soo drawn into this. In fairness it actually gave a good swatch! Not so when applied to the face. I should start swatching my face next time! When I backtracked my blog post for some reason, I saw that I already had this before. Below is an excerpt from my blog dated April, 07, 2016. Sad to say that I’m still not that impressed now as I was then.
