Having kids in the house really relieves some anxiety and stress in life. This is my niece Joi she’s so adorable because my kids are already big to be cute they don’t even like to take pictures together now. If you have small kids better take them many pictures as you can so, that when the time they grow up at least you can tell them that when they are kids they love taking pictures together.
I just craving the pretzel of Auntie Ann’s and also lunch in Jollibee before I leave the country.

This is the great thing about going back to your roots, it was a cheap salon. This took 4hrs. in the salon, the customer comes and goes but it is worth it. This took me 1 day for the Salon.

Halo-Halo and Puto Special
Halo-halo is one of my favorite summertime desserts. From the Philippines—the name means “mix-mix” in Tagalog—the refreshing dish layers shaved ice and condensed milk on top of all sorts of ingredients for an end result that packs in lots of contrasting textures, from chewy to crunchy, creamy to sticky. While components vary, you’ll find some common add-ins at most halo-halo carts and bars: jellies, flan, macapuno, palm seeds, sweetened red beans, shaved ice, ube ice cream, fresh fruit, toasted coconut flakes, pinipig. My version uses mango jelly with fresh fruit set into it as well as pandan-infused sweetened condensed milk.
Puto is a Filipino steamed rice cake, traditionally made from slightly fermented rice dough (galapong). It is eaten as is or as an accompaniment to a number of savoury dishes (most notably, dinuguan). Puto is also an umbrella term for various kinds of indigenous steamed cakes, including those made without rice. It is a sub-type of kakanin (rice cakes)

Tricycle
I just experience again riding this bike with the passenger on the side.
Motorized tricycles, or simply tricycles (Filipino: traysikel; Cebuano: traysikol), are a type of motorized vehicle from the Philippines consisting of a motorcycle attached to a passenger cab. Along with the jeepney, it is one of the most common means of public or private transportation in the Philippines, especially in rural areas. These public utility vehicles either ply a set route or are for hire, like taxis.
Tricycles are built in a variety of styles, which differ from city to city, and are usually made locally by building a sidecar and affixing it to an imported motorcycle. Usually, both the cycle and sidecar are covered, but not always by the same roof. Larger companies, such as Fitcor Marketing, also manufacture passenger tricycles. They are built with more seats with the motor situated at the back, rather than below the driver as per a motorcycle.
Tricycles are often confused with the similar tuktuks and auto rickshaws of neighboring countries. But tricycles evolved independently from motorcycles with sidecars during World War 2, and are not derived from rickshaws. Tricycles also attach the passenger cab to the side of the motorcycle, in contrast to tuktuks where it is attached behind the motorcycle. The motorela, a regional variant of the tricycle with a centered passenger cab enclosing the motorcycle, is the most visually similar to a tuktuk, but differs in that it has four wheels, not three. The passengers of a motorela also sit sideways, rather than facing forward.

May 17, 2022, was my first time to go back alone to the Philippines, even though I am a Pilipino but still scared of my origin country. I was born and live here, but I got used to living here in Japan, the no.1 safest country in the world. My flight was delayed because many airplanes are on landing and this was also the first time to open the boundaries of the country, but still have a protocol to follow and need to get a PCR and Anti-Gen test of the requirements. I took my test in the center which is free.
Ready to board and my brother with my dad pick me up on the airport. It was tearing but happy and glad to see them.
I didn’t drink the soda this was my first time seeing the bottle it was cute. I just drink 3 bottles of Mineral Water because it was hot weather.

I just stayed to my brother house and meet this cutie pie niece, she’s talkative and she also like to tell stories. She always wanted to stay with me. Continuation for my Day 2 trip…

Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) is a touristy set of eight ponds in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lake region, located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako on the site of a former sixth lake that dried out several hundred years ago. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji that filters down the mountain through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting in very clear spring water that is revered by the locals.
visitors can drink the cool water straight from the source. The ponds are quite deep and have interesting freshwater plant life and large fish. Although the ponds have been developed into tourist attractions and can become quite crowded with visitors, they have a pleasant atmosphere as long as you do not expect untouched nature.
World Heritage
You will find many restaurants, souvenir shops, and food vendors around the ponds which sell vegetables, sweets, pickles, crafts, and other local products. Some operate small outdoor grills to attract shoppers with the alluring smells of roasted sweet potato and toasted rice crackers (osenbei).
A small open-air museum, the Hannoki Bayashi Shiryokan, surrounds Oshino Hakkai’s largest pond and costs a small admission fee. It contains a traditional thatched roof farmhouse that can be viewed inside and displays various farming tools, household items, samurai armor, and weapons.

Hatsuhinode means the first sunrise of the year in Japan. It is a happy event for the Japanese because Toshigami who is a god of the New Year comes with it. People pray huge harvest and perfect health over the year in the past. Nowadays, they pray not only harvest and health but also various wishes.
Goraiko means also seeing a sunrise for getting the benefit, but it is different from Hatsuhinode in climbing a mountain or not. It means seeing the sunrise on a high mountain and is used not only as the first sunrise of the year. It is said that the higher a mountain is, the more benefit is gotten. Therefore, it is the happiest sunrise that to see the first sunrise of the year on a high mountain.
Have time to watch the video below.
However, to see that sunrise is difficult because of climbing winter mountains in the middle of the night. Mt. Fuji which is the highest mountain in Japan allows only professional climbers(alpinists) to climb it in winter. Because its path and mountain huts are closed in winter, so climbers cannot supply food and take refuge from bad weather. The temperature of Mt. Fuji in winter is minus 35 degrees Celsius(minus 31 degrees Fahrenheit), the wind is blowing at 20meters per second.
We have time to visit our rest house in Yamanashi.
Our resthouse but we didn’t go inside just the backyard only.
we visited also the Michi no Eki in Narusawa, Yamanashi which great view of Mt. Fuji.
stay safe everyone…
