Long have I searched Tokyo for a Filipino restaurant/cafe where I can proudly take my non-Filipino friends. Kainan in Roppongi is one of those places (and we do love the food and the warm hospitality there) but when compared to the Thai or Indian restaurants in the area, it may look a little too “small-business”,…

Philippine Fiesta in Tokyo
For those in Tokyo, something to be excited about… This weekend (November 11-12), there seems to be a big Filipino Fiesta in Hibiya Park, Tokyo. Expected to be there are Cesar Montano, Sunshine Cruz, Rachel Alejandro, Mitch Valdez, Side A, among others. When in the Philippines, these events (except maybe a Side A concert. hehe.)…
Kainan with Yoko Shimada
Guess who I saw at a Filipino Restaurant in Roppongi (Kainan) today? Yoko Shimada (島田楊子)! Doesn’t ring a bell? Don’t worry, I didn’t even know she was a celebrity until she left and my Japanese friend asked me if I knew who she was. Even after we got her name, it didn’t ring any bells…
Oh Tokyo! My Tokyo!
Just to show you how much my life has changed after moving to Tokyo, let me just add comments to my list of things I like about Kagoshima in another blog. Disclaimer: This is just based on 5 weeks of living in Tokyo and may change the longer I stay here. Kagoshima: If you draw…
It’s Moving Time
I will be flying to Tokyo on the 29th and have one week to prepare. I need to do a lot of things and just hope one week is enough. First, I need to sell my car. I am moving to an apartment that charges something like 50,000 yen (about 23,000 pesos) for parking space…
Midnight Black Account
I just sent my application for a Shinsei Bank account and I must say, the hardest part in filling up the application form was choosing the color of the bank card. They have 32 colors including Big Sky, Orange Juice and Cherry Blossom. I ended up choosing Midnight, because I know It’s as close as…
Busy as a Bee
For several weeks now, I have been as busy as a bee. Not only inside the office but mostly, outside. Practice here… practice there. Festival here… festival there. Dinner here… dinner there. Give me one more month and I’ll get myself a secretary. Nah! Not really. I believe my Palm will suffice for now. Just…
When the Trainees went to Tokyo
For three days starting October 7, we went on an adventurous and money-eating trip to Tokyo. On Saturday, we visited the land of milk and honey for all techno-freaks out there, Akihabara. On Sunday, we visited the magical world of Tokyo Disneyland and on Monday, we had an ocean adventure at the Yokohama Sea Paradise….
Study Tour all over Japan. Yehey!
The start of the week was quite boring, really. But things immediately started to get better on Wednesday — the first day of our study tour and I will be dedicating this section to our study tour. First stop… Kyoto! We got there via shinkansen, more popularly known as the bullet train in less than…
