Tidbits of August

Lord, life has been too tough for me. And i know it's not about the circumstances but rather me. Am I not making you proud? Am I going with the norm of this fallen world? I'm not having my devotions anymore. I'm too busy thinking of things which are temporary. Things which are worthless and useless. Father, I want to be with you in eternity but while I'm still here allow me to do things which will bring glory and honor to your kingdom. I have once once surpassed this laziness. With you giving me strength, I can do it again. I'm not taking the journey without you my Lord. Life is not about me it will always be about you. Take me to where you want me to be. May it all be done according to your will.

I'm again entering the world o fascination. Dreaming of things which belongs to the world. It wasn't wrong to dream but to realize it, I must wake up and consider the reality. Yet I found dreaming as an escape of this cruel world. However, I wasn't dreaming anymore, I was wanting and craving. Wanted to become rich, craved to be famous. Selfishness and self-centeredness is what I can define "me". I'm already polluted with this fancy world.

To Mr. I-Love and Mr. I-dream

Part of me is saying goodbye to you, admittedly you're one of the reasons why I could no longer have my devotion and study time. I can't afford to exchange God with you and my studies as well. I needed time to set things back again. I should not be too rush. As what I always say, I'm still young to be in a commitment. I promised God that I shall stay pure in mind, heart, and deed while waiting for my one true love. If ever he is either of you, I pray that God would shape him and make him the kind of man He wants me to have. Patience is superb, Love is eternal. I just have to finish my business with you and then I shall leave.

Filipino Stores and Restaurants in Tokyo

For somebody who craves for Filipino food and snacks from time to time, here are the stores I frequent to. I can only share a limited perspective but solely based on my experiences. Read on! Filipino Stores 1. Asia Yaosho (Kabukicho, Shinjuku) While they mostly have Filipino products, they also sell Thai goods. I think their prices are a little lower than the other Filipino stores I've tried. However, they have limited stocks and they often run out of items that I usually need, like Bearbrand. 😁 Credits: This photo is from this website . 2. Ameyoko Center Underground Marekt (Ueno) This market is heaven for Southeast Asians. They have a lot of varieties, dry goods, frozen meat, and even fresh seafood. There are also two Filipino stores in the area. They sell more items than Asia Yaosho but they are a bit pricey. Credits: Photo is from this website. The market is underground. The entrance is on the side of this building at the center of this photo. 3....

Summer: Warm Encounters

This year's summer break has been the best I've had in Japan or at least ever since I got to spend for my trips on my own. But while scanning through a thousand travel photos on my phone and camera, I realized that travel is made even more special with people you are with and those you encounter. Izumo, Shimane Other than its quiet and laidback atmosphere, the beauty of Izumo lies on its people. Our going there wasn't as carefully planned as it should have been. It's much farther from Tokyo and would honestly cost us more. But my oneechan convinced me that it will be worthwhile. I also happen to have a friend living in Izumo and I thought it will be a good opportunity for a catch up. This Izumo friend drove us around and went out of her way for us to be able to spend a memorable day around the area. She as usual welcomed us with warmth and excitement sharing the history and stories of her hometown here and there. She is also naturally funny. Her quirks still make me gi...

Lessons in Spring

It's almost summer vacation and I have been planning on so many things to do for the long holiday but I have to sit down and write all the experiences worth remembering in spring. HAKONE I stumbled upon this blog post that suggested a walk through the old Tokaido road would be fascinating. It would also be a less stressful trip to Hakone as it is an off the beaten path. So I forced myself to walk through the old road that actually leads you to lake Ashi. It took about two hours of both feeling scared and excited. I was feeling nauseous in my stomach. The paved road uphill gave me an adrenaline rush. It was sunny and the air was cool. It was a good day to hike. There was a warning sign of bear sightings. I don't know why but that's the least of my concerns. In fact, what scared me more is the idea of bumping into a suspicious person along the way. Aren't humans scarier than animals? Life lesson: Travel alone. A lot . CHICHIBU A road trip through the mountains of Chichi...
