『touching grass in Tokyo』

Merry Christmas from Tokyo! ! !

work and leisure ☁️

Took a week paid leave and… Wow! I have totally underestimated the level of introvertness I am capable of…

Not everyone likes natto but I do love experimenting with it—on rice, toast, and even somen!

morning chill time before the afternoon grind ☕️

光が死んだ夏のジャンルについては読んだ人が自由に考えるものという意見は変わっていないですが、恋愛や性の話から取り残された人たちにも寄り添う話であるべきだと思っているので私は「青春ホラー」と説明してます。 属性を問わず様々な人に共通する「"普通"になれない、居場所がない恐怖」が肝だと思ってます。

Selfie time, but only the yukata. 😆 It has been awhile since I last wore this one (definitely before the pandemic). Also, proud to say I can still tie a bunko musubi, even faster than last time. 💯

So many events & collabs in Tokyo but barely have time to do otaku-stuff thanks to adulting—can only attend a few so I’m super happy to win a slot for today’s exhibition. 😭 #ヒロアカ原画展

「自分の空気を入れ替える」 🕊️

mid March 2025 Second attempt on coating a circular carrot cake w/cream cheese frosting (first and last attempt was during the pandemic). Also, I had so much almond nuts I decided to smother its top to my heart’s content.

Blood-boiling news left and right that doesn’t seem to end, rather rapidly proliferating and morphing beyond horror—but don’t forget to rest and recharge, we need to continue the fight.

Mi-chan!!!

morning rituals w/coffee when i’m more of a tea person started as a coping mech to adulting, capitalism & tantamount stress but habits gets carried on u fall in love w/the process rather than the product as alluded in Atomic Habits so here am I enjoying the process of grinding & pour overs

Matcha Cheesecake 🍵

today’s solo date brought me to a delightful specialty coffee shop w/amazing coffee line up, friendly barista, & vibey music as I sit and enjoy the lovely smell of various coffee grounds wafting in the air ☕️ Acid Coffee Tokyo #アシッドコーヒートーキョー 📍Yoyogi-Uehara Station

Hinata’s Aquarius AD in Shibuya. 🏐

Ikea’s Kafferep cinnamon buns are such a delight to my lazy Monday afternoon agenda of “slow and chill”.

two cups worth of black coffee and Tuesday morning introspection 🦢

「coffee shop in TOKYO」 got myself soy latte & banana bread w/espresso butter 📍ABOUT LIFE COFFEE BREWERS 渋谷

*discovers Caramelized Apple and Cinnamon Apple* Copies the technique and adds a dash of nutmeg and a pinch of salt. It turned out SO well as topping for bagels w/peanut butter! 😳 Nothing beats good food and learning something new.

spring flowers spotted some cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, peach blossoms around Kanto area

Suuuuper late post but i wanna share this delicious cup of Roasted Hazelnut Latte at one of my fave coffee van shops along Odakyu Line. A seasonal offering last December but they have lots of good stuff you can try. ☕️ Grab a coffee and chat with the friendly barista or locals. 📍Cuokka Coffee

『黑潮』 I’m actually team ItaFushi/FushiIta🤭 ✍🏼 I think I’m an “omnivore fanart appreciator” if such phrase exists. I tap LIKE on anything I find pleasing to the eyes even if I don’t stan the character or pairing. For JJK, deep inside, I’m team 🐯🐺/🐺🐯.

『The National Art Center, Tokyo』 ✍🏼Got my meds from my ENT doctor two days ago and so I decided to quickly drop by the neighborhood museum.

Made some iced drink at siesta time coz the weather was warmer today—I even had to turn on my fan.

it’s nice NOT to pick up extra work on special rest days stay home clean the house eat food rot on a rocking chair the benefits of being a “part-timer-freelancer”

Ok… I actually like this. 👀 The first one (The Gateau Cream Coffee & Chocolate) hits the spot while this macaron sates that longing for a decent macaron without being overpriced. ☕ マカロンサンド イチゴ&パッションフルーツ #スイーツのファミマ #ピエールエルメアンソロジー

I can wait. 🌹📖🔍 #Hirono #PopMart

Third loaf cake of the month—this time, made 🍓bread last Sun since I scored discounted strawberries at the grocers. The glaze was a fail since it decided to free fall than to cling😅 At least now I know 🍓s can be quite watery and you might need to add more powdered sugar than stated on the recipe.

『リラックスして考えよう』 banana bread + Hokkaido cream cheese + matcha latte for breakfast dessert ✨

curry bread & coffee ☕️

As of February 14th, I’m obsessed with this no frills mushroom steak!!! Used eryngii/king oyster mushrooms today so I would like to try other mushroom varieties next time. 🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫🍴

banana cake and a dollop of greek yoghurt with dried mangoes soaked overnight for that luscious mix of sour and sweetness

Shout out to Filipino chocolate brands: bean-to-bar Auro, single origin Cacao de Davao, and WIT’s unsweetened cacao nibs. Used a mix of all 3 w/c gave me this chewy-fudgy brownie. Advance Happy Vday to me and my betsu-bara.🤤✨ Thanks to all my PH friends for the omiyage chocos!

Tried making brownies so I could use up my chocolates before they expire this year and all I can say is… “That’s quite ambitious of me to try making fudgy brownies when I can’t even distinguish the difference between underbaked and the state of being fudgy!” 😅

cooling down but the glutton me can’t wait…

Makes me super happy when I bake something that actually tastes good!☺️ Tried making banana bread w/the sole ripe banana lying on the pantry. Swapped walnuts for ‘coffee 70% dark chocolate’ and salted cashew. 🖤

I luv this winter look of Gojo and Nanami—would’ve been absolutely nice if they release Geto’s winter version as well.

Good morning! Woke up as early as 5am coz my surgical incision and gall bladder won’t leave me at peace, must be the winter cold. 🥶

they asked me if there’s any music I would like to listen to and automatically uttered “Ghibli Jazz”, w/c was playing at that moment on my ipad 🎶

1.5 litre goal 💧
