Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo

PJ and I arrived in Tokyo on a chilly night, and our first order of business was to heat up our tummies with some ramen. It was late, but good thing there was a corner eatery right outside our hotel in Akihabara. We chose from the food photos, fed the machine with money, got our meal tickets, and gave it to the lone cook inside the restaurant. In warp speed (like, 30 seconds — no exaggeration), our dishes were in front of us! This first meal was one of the best we had during our trip.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_02-533x1024 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo

The next day, we met up with my cousins Ralph, Noelle and her son Kai, and Ate Ria and little Amelia. They had all been in Japan for a few weeks before we arrived. We walked around Yoyogi Park (which is huge!) and propped down on the grass to take a break before heading to lunch.

All photos during this trip was taken using this Canon G15! The camera strap is the one I designed for Punchdrunk Panda.

From Yoyogi Park, we walked to Takeshita Street.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_06 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
How cool is Kai?? And Amelia loves Tito PJ!Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_08 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Β Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_09 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
We chanced upon Design Festa Gallery, a multi-storey apartment that houses exhibitions, installations, and art space for young artists and students.
We had lunch in Sakura Tei Harajuku, a super cool restaurant with super yum food!Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_10 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
DIY okonomiyaki!
Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_11 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
This was so delicious!!

 

We took the metro to Azubujuban, and walked around some more in the afternoon.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_13 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Blue and White had lots of pretty Japanese souvenirs and textiles. There’s also a crafting station at the back of the store!
We chanced upon this vegetarian cafe called Eat More Greens, where we had afternoon tea + vegan green tea donuts and pastries. This was actually on my to-try list!Β Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_12 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Next day, we all met up in Daikanyama. Kicked off the day with some black sesame bread and pan au chocolat! I love the wooden furniture at Lotus Baguette.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_14 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
And then we hit the shops, starting with Saturdays NYC.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_16 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Wish we could all hang out in their outdoor seating area!
Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_17 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
And then we spent a few hours in T-Site, the Tsutaya Books complex.

Comfy shoes for walking over 12 hours a day: PJ’s high top leather Nikes, and my 7-holed sneaker-type Dr. Marten’s Leytons!

There’s a really cool lounge on the second floor of Tsutaya. Too bad they don’t allow kids to sit/eat there!
Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_21 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
So we headed a few blocks down to Bombay Bazar for some curry.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_22 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
A bowl each forΒ Papa bear, Momma bear, and Baby bear. Haha πŸ˜›
Right next door is this shop with no name; just a yin-yang heart for a logo.
Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_23 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Will definitely go back here to shop next time! It was just our second day, so I was holding out. Chambray is my weakness! PJ, you really should have gotten those boots on the far left!!!
Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_24 Travel Diary: Time-Out in TokyoAround the corner, there was a little cafe with a looooong line. Just like many other things in Japan, this was so random: giant stuffed toys sitting outdoors, waiting to be petted or hugged. Haha!
Next day, we moved to a hotel right by the Shibuya station.
We had a view of the famous Shibuya crossing!Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_26 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_27 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
One reason I was so excited to go back to Japan was because of all the craft stores!
Here are a few of my favourites:

–Β Wrapple on the 4th floor of Parco
– Tokyu Hands

We also spent a night walking from Harajuku to Omotesando, and then back to Shibuya.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_31 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
All their stores have amazing interiors and they all have mastered the art of visual merchandising.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_33 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
We also visited the Mori Art Museum in Roponggi.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_34 Travel Diary: Time-Out in TokyoTokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_35 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Love this interactive wall!

 

Andy Warhol’s 15 Minutes Eternal was on exhibit. I saw this exhibit a few years ago in Seattle, but this is the first time I’ve seen the pop-up Andy Warhol Cafe! We couldn’t resist, and just had to order something, haha. PJ had the burger, and I had the banana cake.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_36 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
I want that floral ottoman for our house!
Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_37 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
In the afternoon, we headed to Koenji. It’s a small, non-commercial area speckled with independent craft stores. I met up with Ros of PolkarosΒ in this cute little cafe called Hattifnatt. We talked about crafting in Japan and in Manila, and exchanged some gifts after!

In the evening, we walked around Nakameguro.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_39 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
I ordered a vegetarian meal at Potager, and accompanied PJ to a random sushi house, where he claims he had the best Salmon Sashimi ever.

I have a thing for ginger, and can never resist a ginger drink when it’s on the menu πŸ˜›
On our last full day, we went to the Tsukiji Market for brunch.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_41 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Chirashi for PJ and Tamago for me. There was this whole strip solely occupied by tamago chefs!
Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_42 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
After that, we took a train to Shinjuku-gyoen, where I died and went to craft heaven in Sekaido. It was a bit of a challenge trying to figure out the items on display because the tags are all Japanese, but the staff were really helpful. I was able to get more watercolor paper, brushes, and paint!Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_43-512x1024 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
We visited the nearby park to check out the sakura trees, but they we just beginning to bloom during that time.Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_44 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Went back to the hotel and found some blossoms in the lobby. I took some and tried to press them! πŸ˜›Tokyo_Trip_LifeAfterBreakfast_March_2014_45 Travel Diary: Time-Out in Tokyo
Adding them to my journals!
Seems like we all know someone who visited Japan recently, right? But what’s awesome about the city is that each one is bound to find a unique reason to love the place. I personally can’t get enough of the craft shops. πŸ˜› And if only we had more time, I would have loved to meet up with more crafters there, or have a picnic in the park. In the meantime, I’ll be daydreaming about (and saving up for) our next trip there! πŸ™‚

They're here!!! Finally got a hold of my 2023 Planners! What a magical feeling to have the printed output in my hands. Love how these planners are ring bound and lay flat for monthly & weekly spreads, which are printed on smooth planner paper. As you turn the pages, you'll find little surprises inside, like journal prompts, recipes, affirmations, and sticker sheets!πŸ˜„

There are different covers to choose from, all printed & wrapped using premium textured book paper. Take your pick: Blue Tea, Hibiscus, or Guava?πŸ˜„ Link in bio to shop!

We all have different timelines.

Spending time in our garden has taught me that growth takes time, and it cannot be rushed. There's planting season, and there's harvest season. Trees bear fruit or flowers only on certain months of the year. Sometimes, they yield a bountiful harvest, other times, very little. We can't expect the same results every time. Over-productivity is not sustainable. 

"At Your Own Pace" is my 2023 calendar collection with @ifexph. I painted 12 flowers & leaves that are traditionally used as tea in the Philippines. It's a reminder for us to slow down and find calm. Because if we want to continue growing, bearing flowers & fruits, then we have to be gentle--with nature, and with ourselves. 🀍

Excited to show you the whole paper collection!🌿🌺

P.S. I took a risk, and decided to cut out all my watercolor illustrations to frame them together as a single piece!😁

Unplugged in Guimaras for a few days. We stayed at @natureseyebeach resort, where you have the ocean for your open bathroom view; where all their furniture was built by hand; where there are only 5 cottages; and where  there are lots of steps to get from one side of the resort to the other. Was lucky to be there as they launched their new plant-based menu!πŸ˜πŸ’š Snuck in a few minutes of painting, but really just stared at the views most of the time πŸ˜† #LAB_breaktime #guimaras #philippines

Was lucky to be there as they launched their new plant-based menu!πŸ˜πŸ’š Snuck in a few minutes of painting, but really just stared at the views most of the time πŸ˜† #LAB_breaktime #guimaras #philippines

Hung out with creatives of Bacolod last weekend for the Pricing Your Worth workshop at @thenegrosmuseum. Each participant received a little goodie bag + pricing worksheet from the Creative Path pad. What a fun afternoon! Was just so happy to be able to do an in-person workshop again. And in such a beautiful & inspiring space! 😍
