Back in Japan:)

Last 28th of March, I flew to Japan with my grandmother, little cousin, and my aunt and uncle who were like my second parents. It was during the same time of the year when I last went to Japan in 2010. We flew a flight with Philippine Airlines from Manila to Narita. Thank God I have escaped the heat of the P.I. haha!

sorry PAL but I didn't like the in-flight meal

first Japanese meal upon arrival

I was so happy because I finally got reunited with my favorite cousin, who's also like a sister to me. And I was surprised that at 21, by working so hard, she got her own car -- a white Suzuki Swift that's filled with pink and Hello Kitty stuff inside. Well, same thing for her room, which I was using.

I really love a lot of things about Japan. I like their awesome photo booths with perfect lighting and retouching/editing before printing. Plus it will be emailed to you! How cool is that?!

And of course, I super love authentic Japanese food! My favorite resto is Sushiro, a sushi bar. And it's all high-tech!:)

And here in Japan, I don't mind doing the laundry because it's all automated! Even on rainy days, the clothes are dried. Just insert coin, let it wash and dry. What we normally do is leave the laundry in the machine as we shop at the grocery store. I enjoy grocery shopping, most especially because I was the one cooking our dishes everyday.

Spring time is coming and I'm glad that I was able to catch the last snowfall of winter. We also visited Mt. Kuruma (Kuruma Yama) on our first weekend here so to catch the last day of skiing. However, I wasn't able to try to ski for the second time around because I was way too scared and I didn't want to spend for something I do not know if I could survive haha! Yeah, not much of a risk taker! But it was fun taking photos in the snow!:)

forgot to bring shades!!!

 So that's how my first week has been. I'm currently on my 4th week here. Oh my, one month happened so fast! I wish this vacation won't ever end...
