Skytree: Building Trust

So, what does it feel to be at the Sorakara (highest) point? In awe. It still amazes me how advanced Japan is in terms of architecture and infrastructure. Tokyo Skytree is considered the tallest building in the country. So when on the top, it will give you a 360-degree view of the city.




I could see the stretch of Sumida River, Odaiba's Ferris Wheel, Haneda Airport, Asakusa's Golden Poo and the shy Fuji-san, shy because it was cloudy at that time and it's hard to see through clearly.

What a scenic view!


So did I feel scared? Not at all. I mean except for that glass floor 😂

When you're up there, you would learn to trust the foundation of the building more so the builders. 

Then while watching the sun set, something hit me - TRUST. If Skytree hadn't been built in Japan, I wouldn't have taken the risk and thrill of going up, honestly saying.


You see, it took years and years for Japan to build this kind of reputation. And they are owning to what they've become. And people all over the world highly regard them. 

It's the same with relationship - family, friends, couples, workmates, customer-client... all kinds of relationship require TRUST. And trust is two-way. When one loses it, the other's gonna lose it eventually. And if you've built that trust, keep it, protect it, hold on to it.

So why am I focusing on trust? Because I am at this point of my life where things are beyond my control. That it is only by trusting God that I could live at peace everyday.

Friends my age are in despair and confusion these days. I mean we all are. When you're in your 20's-30's, there's so much pressure around you and there are a lot of voices that tell you of dos and don'ts.😏

 However for us Christians, we have to understand this process. We all go through the same process, but our response to it makes a huge difference. So how do we respond? Trust God's work. Trust by praying, trust by waiting, and trust by preparing. 

 Actually I don't know any life advice that's gonna make us comfortable. Right now, I just want to depend on God's word because it rebukes and it corrects my shallow understanding of life.

 Proverbs 3:5

 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

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...
