To Peter


To Peter,

God has been faithful to me through all this year. I thank Him for all the wonderful things he has been showing me. I know you’re one of it. Honestly, I still love you. For me, you are special and will always be. If there’s a man I would allow to take my heart, it will be you. However, young as we are, there are uncertainties that have come along the way. I get so cynical and doubtful. The “what ifs” have been clouding my mind the past days. I have more important things to accomplish that God has entrusted me. Sadly, being committed to you is not part of it. I love you for who you are but we still have to grow more and more in faith.

I just want to thank you for letting me feel special. I may not be so assured of what you feel for me, still I’m grateful. You have been occupying a room in my heart. Right now, I just have to lock it and give the keys to God. In that way, in His most appropriate time, He will open it. It is painful for me to do this. Yet I know this is the best way.

I pray that you will grow in God’s love. I pray that you stand in what you believe in. I pray that you will devote yourself to the Lord. Serve Him and spend your time to Him. I pray that you will be more mature as Christ’s follower.

Whatever happens along the way, I will rejoice and praise God because that is what will please Him.


Yours,
Pamela

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...
