Cool Village Vanguard-ing Osaka (PART 1)

January 4, 2013 ~ Exciting Bookstore Village Vanguard, Shinsaibashi Osaka! We had a blast checking out the kakkoii stuff in this store!

Hello! Hello!  One of my favorite shops to visit in JPN is Village Vanguard for sure! It's just one lair of awesome out-of-the-box ideas and all those fun and crazy things! Ahhhh It's just always fun to be in the crazy shop of Village Vanguard!

I've been partly dreading this date when I'm gonna sit down and compose this blog because I've took 60+ photos just in this store alone... That's how much I super enjoy Village Vanguard! Now, how am I gonna finish animating and decorating all these photos...!? OMG I'm a photo hoarder?! Haha! Ganbarimasu~ Is all I can say. Haha!

Hello Kitty Visit Japan App with Toreishi-san in Tokyo!

Japan National Tourism Organization made an App promoting Tourism in Japan with Hello Kitty!(Too bad download of this App has ended  last March 2013 though... Hope y'all had a chance to download this!)

Meow. こんいちは! Konnichiha! I must say I think I've been Hello Kitty overloading this recent Tokyo trip. BTW, Tadaima! I'm back in Manila and definitely time to start updating! (HUHUHU I haven't even finished my Kansai Winter Trip Blogs?! *;_;* ) But it would haunt me to sleep if I don't write them in my blog... I promise I will finish writing from Winter to Spring! Japan Trips are always fun and memorable that I must share it to the world! Haha! (May be I can be a Japan Tourism Promoter? LOL) 

Toreishi and Hello Kitty in Tokyo! Cool app?!? Visit Japan Hello Kitty App!

Tracy's Dear Diary: Tokyo Rush! Quick Hello Before the Hotel Housekeeping Comes! 0_0

April 27, 2013 ~ Travelled all the way to Mitaka to finally see this marvelous residential architecture dedicated to Helen Keller! Hello from Tokyo (and from Kitty-chan!)

Hello LOVES!! GOMEN NASAI for the long lagging quiet time here in my blog diary. I'm here in Tokyo now with Kareshi and been having a great personal time and fun work kawaii time... and of course shopping and window shopping! As much as I want to write everyday and update I can only find time to do it on my InstaGram! BECAUSE I will blame this to the hotel housekeeping that obliges me to leave my hotel by 10 am?! With this time deadline everyday... and how long I take to pick my coordinate and do my make-up... I would have to wake-up 4am just to manage writing and posting! I'll try my best to recap as fast now before the cleaning lady bangs my room again!

My daily dilemma of leaving before 10:00 am!? Housekeeping always makes me leave and hurry up?! Haha!

PART 2: Ere-Guroi Awesomeness at Village Vanguard

Whaaaa! My favorite shopping loot with that creepy doll-eyeball iPhone case from Village Vanguard! Ere-Guroi!

Well, isn't that inevitable! With so many awesome stuff I've found so post-worthy in Village Vanguard, I decided to make a PART 2 out of it, this Part 2 is dedicated to my sick sick love of Ere-Guroi Awesomeness I'm obsessing about~

(Okay Gomen-nasai, I actually finished PART 2 earlier than PART 1... Since PART 1 is ultimate photo spam galore! Anyways, I'm posting this now so I won't lag too much! PART 1 coming next!)

What is Ere-Guroi? It's actually a term I've learned from Misha Janette as we were corresponding and discussing about some custom-fascinators I've made for her recently... Basically it's "Elegant but SICK!" kinda fashion... Ere (Elegant) + Guroi (Gross) ~ The morbid amputated body parts and sick veins can be really fashionable! It's inevitable... especially with the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse all over the world, this Ere-Guroi trend is really evident while I was checking out Village Vanguard! 

✿ Toreishi's Sakura ✿

I haven't been to Japan during Sakura season (Cherry Blossoms). Huhu. How sad (>_<) as much as I would love to... March is always one hectic month for me as I have to do my mommy duties... It's my son's (Atreyu) birthday at the end of the month of March and March is usually the busiest in his school as the school ends on March. I cannot possibly hop in to the next flight to Japan at that time. I would be such a bad mother. Huhu. But I always long for the Sakura season and always look forward to seeing the the beautiful pastel blooms everywhere. It's something with incomparable beauty. But I haven't seen it at sight yet so... buhu. (>_<) But it's okay... Someday I hope Atreyu and I can finally move to Japan (with Kareshi) all in God's time... Okay.... I'm not gonna sulk, don't worry! I actually just wanna blog about how I cherished the Cherry Blossoms Sakura Season miles away...

First, I opened a pack of Sakura Matcha KitKat and had a "Sakura KitKat Break" with Atreyu... Sakura Matcha (Sakura Green Tea) flavor is one of our favorites because it has a mild sweetness that we enjoy... It just seems it made us feel closer to Japan opening a sweet KitKat chocolate... I love decorating my photos (obviously) especially with those lovely pink Sakura flowers... It just makes everything prettier~ 

March 24, 2013 ~ (From my IG) In the spirit of #spring and #sakura #cherryblossoms I'm sharing my fave #sakuramatcha #kitkat with Atreyu on a Sunday Morning! Someday we will enjoy them at sight too! For now, some sweets will do!

☼ In the Heat of Summer Sunshine! ☼

April 11, 2013 ~ OOTD-ing in College of Saint Benilde the other day, supporting my sister Liley in her school exhibit~
Tiara by Tracy Dizon Tiara Blossoms Bow, old summer dress from Bench, Andy Warhol Tote by Loop, F21 Yellow stockings and my fave pretty Platform Sneakers! Hehe!

Hello! Hello! It's been a while since I've posted something recent up-to-date... I miss writing a Diary-A-Day-in-a-Life musings... I've finally found time to catch up with my writings here. I really wish and promise to finish and write every trip adventures Kareshi, Atreyu and I had last winter  as our mementos of our times together so it really means alot to me to finish everything... I used to make an scrapbook memento every trip and times we've spent together... 

SUSHI! SUSHI! SUSHI!

January 2, 2013 ~ Sushi Restaurant nearby Hyogo Station, Kobe

Any trip to JPN wouldn't be complete without SUSHI! OMG, I'm so obsessed with SUSHI! I can go up with a challenge with Kareshi anyday sushi eating any day.  BRING IT ON! Haha! Sushi nights and sushi lunches are so post-worthy... Just because they're so appetizing! I must say I'm drooling and missing each and every sushi in all the photos here. Atreyu has been laughing at me since last night when I was decorating our Sushi photos and been craving and drooling at each of them! He's been calling me out, "Mommy! don't eat the iPad?! It's just a photo not a real food?!" haha!

Sweets Paradise: Gone in 90 Minutes!

January 2, 2013 ~ Taka on his 5th round of meal at Sweet Paradise haha!

It was an hour and a half of eating sweets, pastas and my favorite Japanese Curry buffet style to sum it all up. What I regret most is needing to wear too many layers of clothes that it really constrains my one hour of gluttony. Booo.  Otherwise I would have enjoyed eating and food tasting even more... haha! Oh well, the downside of fashion... "Tiis Ganda!" ~ "Fashion over Function" LOL! But needless to say, Sweets Paradise is a very recommendable place to eat at especially when you have kids on board! 

♡ ❤☆*:.｡My Post White-Day Hooray!.｡.:*☆❤ ♡

March 26, 2013 ~ In other news... Surprise! Surprise to me! Haha! Kareshi's #whiteday #gifts has arrived! Thanks @takaomi54 ❤Best ever!! Got those #tokone Furamingyo (Flamingo) #tights, #soen #magazine, #hellokitty #milktea #chocolate (the cutest White Day Sweets!!) the prettiest #sakura card and something I've been needing for the sometime now... A wallet! And it's #betseyjohnson! Haha! Thanks luv!! Better fashionably late than late! Haha! (from my IG Post)

A couple of blog posts ago, I wrote about my excitement for White Day. I think I'm starting to like this trivial commercial holiday even more since it's an excuse to get some more gifts haha! I feel like I'm having a "Second Christmas" right after Christmas haha! Sneaky spoiled me. Gomen ne~ I'm over-indulging! I didn't get to have a chance to write yet another addition to my never-ending wishlists because of heavy work load over the month of March. It's always fun making wishlists! But Kareshi still got me super nice gifts?! Whaaaa?! Is it my birthday?? Haha! Apparently, Kareshi didn't need my wishlist to get me something I really like. But, just for the fun of it, I'll just make my post-wishlist anyways! Haha!

I ♡ those Cutie Kewpies!

Kewpie Overload at Toy Park Store at the Kansai International Airport (January 5, 2013)
I never expected this photo would (slightly) go viral on my Tsureishi Super Kawaii Tumblr! Haha! But I just love Kewpies, anyways!

Hello! It's been a while! I miss writing my happy thoughts and musings here! (As in!) A lot has been happening like.... MAJOR SPRING CLEANING!? Oh no?! Yes, Atreyu and I were buried under our huge pile of mess over the week while I tried to prepare Atreyu's 9th birthday and get my documents prepared for my Japan Visa application, yet again... (Seriously, if there's a loyalty card for Japan Visa, I should have it already. Haha!) 

Anyways, moving on... I just wanna start light and fun for this month with my Kewpie musings and photoblog... because I wanna put all things behind and just enjoy here. Hehe. I just love Kewpie! I love the Kewpie mayonnaise and the sesame dressing...
