The world through my eyes.

I fell in love with Japan the moment I landed in Tokyo last year, 2015.  I told myself that I would love to explore more of this country again and again.  Here I am in the Japanese land, exactly a year after where sushi tastes like heaven. Osaka  a large commercial center which is known for its modern architecture, hearty street food and boisterous nightlife. In general, locals in Osaka are very friendly people.  A Japanese guy approached me while I was in the train from Kansai Airport to the City.  He asked me where I came from and after hearing that I am from Philippines, he congratulated me for having a new President.  He said he had watched the Philippine news.  I found them more helpful than the ones in Tokyo as Edokko people are always in a hurry.  I apologize for this statement but this is just my observation and opinion. Osaka Castle is surrounded by impressive stone walls and moats which will make you wonder how were they able t...

As they said you'll get "lost in translation in Japan," I was lost for a moment.  I was lost for words and never even imagined that Osaka, Japan will be a memorable trip for me. In the morning of Friday the 13th May 2016, I was getting ready for a stroll to a high rise Umeda Sky Building.  I never would have imagined that my life would change in just one magical question. I noticed Riggi keeps on changing his mind whether to go on top of Umeda Sky Building or to go to the HEP five ferris wheel as we were both so scared of the height.  Little did I know he was weighing on where to make his plans come true.  He then decided for Umeda Sky Building as he saw a poster mentioning about the lovely wedding which was held on top.  It was his sign, I guess.  Sure, getting on one knee while holding a ring box sort of says it all.  BUT this is not always the case. Why Friday the 13th?  Funny as it seems but my boyfriend being his usual postive ...

Family.  A big word.  It is what matters in this world and everything else follows.  I've been in Dubai for over 8 years and it is never easy to be away especially from my son.  Whenever I visit the best spots in Dubai, I always remember my family and imagine how it would be if they are able to see what I am seeing.  Dubai is amazingly beautiful.   Here it goes, It has been a long time plan to bring my family here but it never happened due to uncontrollable reasons.  We had waited this far and I came to realize God was planning all this time.  I just didn't realize HIS plans and timings until 25 November 2015 when my much awaited prayer was answered.  It is indeed a Merry Merry Christmas for me and my family. I am an obsessive compulsive type of a person and everything has to be in order from tickets, itinerary, hotel bookings (I had to visit those hotels to see if it is clean), visas, DSWD documents, restaurants to eat and a...
