I spoiled her. Even if I get mad at her for tearing the tissue paper and my notebook she would just ignore my nagging. She fears my papa most because she experienced beaten by a belt. hahahaha. It was when she ripped my brother's slippers. It just happened once. So every time my papa would act mad Kuki would hide under the bed or sofa.

Since we spent the last week of the year in Bohol, we had to leave Kuki at home and asked my grandma and our neighbor to look after her while we are away.

When we got home December 31, 2015 Kuki looked sickly. I asked a friend about her condition and she suggested a natural remedy. January 1, 2015 while everyone still has New year hangover Kuki was roaming around the house. She looked even more sick. I tried applying again that natural remedy which was really effective because Kuki started to drink water. I felt relieved. That is a sign that she is feeling better. In the morning of January 2, 2015, my mother told me that Kuki was dying. I said no. I cannot afford to accept that. We were all worried about her and did all we can to comfort our sweet dog.

In the afternoon, I was about to go to the market to buy another medicine for Kuki when suddenly she wailed. She was feeling dizzy I supposed. She walked round and round the house and fell on the floor. I panicked. I did a tummy rub for her. She would look at me like she was asking for help. I can feel it. She stood again and forced herself to walk. Just when she was in front of the door, she fell again and cried and wailed. My mother told me not to come near since she might bite me.

We were all looking at her and she was shaking. Then she cried hard and froze. She wasn't moving anymore. I felt my heart break. I ran inside my room with tears falling.

We all cried. It was painful really very painful. I called my friend and told her the sad news. I was crying. 

I wrapped Kuki in a blanket. I had to be strong. We buried her. When I went home, I cried again.

The next morning, I woke up because I felt Kuki's nose rubbing my feet. As I opened my eyes, it was only me in my room. I cried. I missed my dog.

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...
