Canyoning in Okutama, Tokyo

Japan just keeps surprising me.

The last time I headed on to something adventurous was four years ago on the mountains of Palawan, Philippines. I was a bit younger and stronger. 😅 And just a few days ago we went canyoning in the westernmost part of Tokyo - Okutama. This place feels so much like Cebu or even more beautiful than Cebu.

For this tour, we booked Canyons Japan since they offer tours in English. Just giving you some tips if you wish to book with them which I highly recommend though,

1. Pick-up point is Mitake Station.

2. The canyons are still 30 minutes away from the base.

3. Changing and shower rooms are in the base.

4. They provide all the wet suits needed.

5. You can't bring anything or any device during the tour except a Go Pro.

6. You can order lunch in advance.

7. CONDITION YOUR BODY! 😆💪 You wouldn't want to end up not being able to move a muscle the next day. 😂

According to our tour guide, this part of Okutama is 100% nature. That means they never changed any of it nor build some infrastructures near it. It's protected by the government and the locals just respect nature. This maybe because of the fact that some people believe that nature represents god and IT IS GOD.

Here are some photos I can share with you. You may also check my vlog here: Sen Sis Vlog

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....

GGPEI First Anniversary (Team Mary)

For almost eight months now, I have worked as an online ESL teacher to Japanese. And just recently, the company I am currently connected with had its first anniversary (wohooooo!!!) It feels overwhelming to be part of this celebration. The firsts are always historical. As part of the event, the company which has more than a hundred employees decided to have this Team Dance and Halloween Costume Design Competitions. Our team, Team Mary , won 3rd place and 2nd place respectively. We are CHAMPIONS! FYI: We are the only team (out of eight teams ehems ehems) to win in both categories. Lemme repeat, WE ARE CHAMPIONS! This is my blog so I'm a little biased. What I loved about the prep and practice days was that I get to know the people I am working with deeper. And because I have all the right to be biased because I repeat, this is my blog lemme describe my team mates and what I discovered about them! hahahaha However, I can only list here those who I spent more time with. hehehe....

DPE at Cebu Normal University

Though I haven't gotten that energy back yet, I'm feeling gay to tell you of what I've gone through the five-month DPE studies at CNU. I am never the ideal student (hahaha) so forgive me if I can only tell you the things based on what I've experienced. So, I was enrolled in 6 subjects which is equivalent to 18 units. To graduate or I mean finish the program you need to get a total of 33 units for one school year. But I only wanted to qualify for the Licensure Exam so I only complied with the 18 education units as required by the Department of Education. My courses were Child and Adolescent Development, Educational Technology, The Teaching Profession, Assessment of Student Learning, Curriculum Development, and Principles of Teaching. These courses are actually foreign to me (hahahaha) as you know I finished Mass Communication. FAQs 1. What's the first step? Hahaha of course, go to CNU (aww) Pray bitaw. Yes, pray. Teaching is not merely a profession,...
