Okay, so today was such a great day.

So I'm set to go to Japan because of a company incentive. I got my Visa today. Sure naman na approved yun kasi sponsored ng Japanese client yung trip, then they will allow me to extend my stay at my own expense.

My problem initially is that I want to bring my sister with me, syempre kami gagastos. She's a student so wala pa syang source of income. What I did is I sent in her application, pinalabas ko na parang solo trip nya. Ako yung guarantor with just 60k show money on my account, 4 days itinerary with all free attractions and her certificate of matriculation as proof na may ties sya sa Pinas. For me, I felt like super suntok-sa-buwan yun kasi nga anliit lang ng show money namin. Buttt I'm so happy kasi na-approve din sya. And mas mabilis pa naprocess yung kanya. So susunod sya after ng "work" days ko. Phew!

hello mga sis! we're planning to go to Japan by end of Nov-Dec. we submitted group visa application last Saturday, oct 20 and until now, oct 24, wala pa din kami narereceive na text. we applied through Reli Sm Megamall. I'm starting to think may issue since meron dito same time namin nag apply din last Saturday and may visa na. I'm worried kasi no travel abroad pa ako. although 9 years na ako sa current job in a fortune 500 company.

Hi po mga sis. booked our hotel at Sakura Hotel Hatagaya Shibuya. any feedbacks po mga sis? binook ko na po siya kasi nagmamahalan na po ang mga hotels since malapit na travel date namin. sabi naman po malapit siya sa train station, free breakfast na din and medyo malaki naman yung bed kahit maliit lang space ng room. good deal na din siguro since dalawa lang naman kami ni hubby. TIA!

We arrived at Narita last October 30,2018 and came back here  November 4.. bale, 7 adults and I child kami sa trip na ?to. We stayed at APA Hotel at Shinjuku-Higashi. Yung places na napuntahan namin are Shibuya, Skytree tower,  Odaiba(not sure kung ito yun yung place basta siya yung May gundam wing robot na malaki,)Disneysea,, Ebina, Mt. Fuji. Ang ganda ng train system nila. Medyo nakakalito lang nung umpisa.

 Medyo nakakapagod lang din, sumuko yung 5 year old son ko sa lakaran kaya nagpapakarga nalang sa husband ko. ;D good thing super lamig kaya tolerable ang paglalakad. You won?t get sweaty kahit 2 layers ang suot mo at noon time..
 Andami pang places na pwede iexplore, sobrang nabitin ako..

Masarap din yung food nila na na-try namin,though mostly hindi Japanese food ang kinain namin. Ansarap ng pizza sa casa delmares ba yun and yung Korean fried chicken near sa hotel namin.

Yung shopping super bitin, more on gala kasi kami.late na namin nadiscover ng husband ko na may Don Quijote naman pala na  super lapit sa hotel namin. We did last minute shopping at around 12 midnight tapos pinabantayan nalang namin muna sa hotel  yung son namin na nagka fever na(I think because of over fatigue na rin) sa brother in law ko. Medyo madalian ang shopping kasi flight narin namin the same day at dapat nasa airport na at 10am. 

I noticed medyo nakakatakot lang din pala pag gabi dun sa  Shinjuku. Our hotel is a bit near sa redlight district. I see one Japanese man na natutumba na at napapahiga sa kalsada while his friends are trying to get him in a cab. I thought he was just drunk but then  parang iba then my husband told me hindi ganon pag lasing. Then I remeber the Japanese cab driver na nasakyan namin asking ? How?s Duterte?one  major problem here is drugs?. I think that?s true. Tapos andaming parang mga gang.

 Kahit nung morning din, 2nd day namin sa Japan, while passing by the redlight district at around 8:30am, (dun kasi kami tinuturo ng google map papunta kami sa bus terminal), we saw some men and women, , either drunk or drugged, and some hostesses too. didn?t expect it kasi ang navisualize ko mga conservative  Japanese.

 But other than that, we had a wonderful time in Japan.

^ Beauty products to buy brands from shiseido and Shu uemura, Canmake. Sa food, matcha biscuits and chocolates. We bought Tokyo banana kasi I read it?s a must try pero parang so-so lang naman.🙂

I just came from Japan, sa tokyo Yodobaishi I got products from Hada Labo for my toner (they call it lotion), day and night cream, Biore for Sunscreen. Sa Harajuku I went to Innisfree for my serum and masks. Sa Don Quijote sa Osaka namili ako ng perfect whip for cleanser.

Sis lordknight_aiz.18, noong trip niyo ano yung pinakamalamig na temperature? Anong OOTD mo pala that time sis? Nag-iisip ako kung kaya ba ng asawa ko eh.  ;D Lamigin kasi talaga siya. Gusto talaga namin makarating ng Tokyo.

@projectgora

Hehe. Thanks sis.

@swtgrl_bee

Sis, pinakamalamig is around 2-4 degrees sa 5th station ng Mount Fuji. Sa Tokyo City, pinakamalamig siguro is 12 degrees. My hubby is not that ginawin, pero yung mga binili ko kasi na clothes for him ay from brands like old navy, bossini,h&m na imported. So I think yung materials nung clothes are designed for cold weather.  I bought it from  thrift shops or ukay since nakita ko sa mga blogs na andun yung mga magagandang branded jackets na affordable compared sa department store at perfect for autumn and winter season. Pwede ko sayo ipakita sa social media yung mga outfits namin ng husband ko sis.🙂

Kung ordinary jacket na local lang, I don?t think kaya niya ang lamig sa Japan. Need ng madaming layers. Had to wear gloves too kasi super nagdry hands ko dun. Don?t forget to bring lip balm mga sis para di magcrack ang lips. Di uubra ang Matte lipsticks dun unless you top it with lipbalm.

Also, in my opinion, di rin dun common  ang open sandals. Kaya baon kayo ng close shoes or rubber shoes or maninigas feet niyo sa lamig. I?m not sure if what I?m saying makes sense. Haha. Pero for first timers, I think these are important to know.

Enjoy your Japan trip and make the most of it mga sis. Super ganda dun.☺️

^Thank you sis sa complete reply. Hindi ko expected na ganyan na pala kalamig. Pero mukhang kahit mag heat tech itong asawa ko negative na kami ng autumn. Pero target ko talaga ang Tokyo. Best bet nalang siguro namin ay spring.
