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.

My First Certificate in Coursera

However, the 5-week course was stretched to a year. Yes! I finished the course a year after I started taking the lessons. Forgive me for being a procrastinator. I know this mindset won't help me grow so that is why I made it a goal to complete it this month.  To be specific, I took English for Media Literacy course. Actually, I studied mass media in college and I'm currently an English teacher. Boasting aside, I already know all the topics in the course. Consequently, my ultimate goal is to refresh my memory and polish my knowledge of the course. True enough, I was able to recall things I learned six years ago! The course has reading, listening, vocabulary, and grammar activities...
