Te quiero Barcelona

Barcelona has been one of my dream cities and always been in my must-to-visit lists since I saw Spanish apartment. Too bad that bizarre weather (we were caught in an extremely stormy rain many times!) stolen a bit of colours from the usual sunny Barcelona while we were there. But how could I be bothered by such when the labyrinthine alleys and Creme Catalane totally got my heart?:)

Barri Gotic

Each small windows offered me a story and stirred up my
imagination.

Thanks to Chris I got to see Jordi, a true Barcelonian who deeply hearts Tokyo.

Creme Catalane! My most love in Barcelona;)

Plaça Reial



Wherever I go, it's good to know some things never change...

Yep, coffee time with my boy!;)

Back in the hotel room after 11 pm. Took off all the jewels. Too long shower then post card time on the bed. I didn't want to let this unbelievable day over yet.

Sitges,Spain

Days gently end at the Mediterranean Coasts.

I never forget you. I can't forget you.

So the days are already shorter, wind no more smells like the sun and my morning is already accompanied by woolen cardigan and hot café au lait. Summer is over. And I'm here again.

I just came back from Paris last week. I still dream myself walking in the town of Montmartre every night.

It'll be slow and take time but I start uploading photos from my trip very soon.

P.S.

Thank you so much for those generous friends who have kept visiting my blog while I was gone!

Big hugs,

Tell me you'll still be there

In your arms I find solace during dark times. In you, I find a vision of who I truly am and what I want to be.

12 months long, 12 months not enough. Happy 1 year anniversary!

Big Kisses,

Summer progresses

Bonjour ladies and gents!

First of all so sorry for the super long hiatus...I know I've been a terrible blogger lately; things have been a bit crazy around here and I scarcely have time to blog. As a compensation for my recent slackness, I've got a fabulous announcement for you:). I'll give you a few seconds to guess with photos taken ages ago!

Roaming the streets with a lovely friend, organic-vege lunch, laughter, cakes and coffee; in other words, a delightful day.

Despite her tied up schedule, Naoko visited me in Kobe for an afternoon fun.

I always heart her smile.

...Vintage shops never let us get bored, don't they?

Cakes can simply bring out girls' loveliest smile.

By the way I was so happy when I found out that she also has a secret passion for Korean pop culture;). They are damn good, yes?

So have you got any guess yet?

...I'm flying to France and Spain next month( and also a short visit in Vietnam)!

Let's have fun!xx

Mother Nature's Son

After a week of gloomy clouds and pouring rain, mother nature kindly lavished its blessing and freshness upon us on the weekend.

Weekend lunch at the neighbouring farm restaurant. Isn't the place pretty?

Oh my, what a tough choice I had to make; boyfriend or beautiful dish. Sorry sweetie, you will win next time when I'm not hungry;P

Botanic garden is literally a hydrangea extravaganza at the moment.

*hearts*

T-shirt+jeans+sneakers+grass. As comfortable as paradise.

I'm going to watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona tomorrow. Can't wait to see what kind of awesomeness Woody Allen created this time!

Don't forget to smile everyone! Have a wonderful week!

I even embrace fiasco tenderly

The light at the end of the tunnel arrived.


...I finally, finally got a job!


It was indeed a life shattering event when I lost my first job which I was just about to start this spring. It completely broke my faith in the future and needless to say I was devastated. Nevertheless, looking back from where I stand right now, it is more than clear that what just happened was a dose of challenge from god; because now I feel as if I've just settled in where I was much more meant to be.

Anyways my new job will start from next spring. Until then I still have lots to study, read, travel and yes of course Tiny Traveller is back to its life ♥ Honestly for the past few months I missed my darling camera so much...life without any creativity was almost turning me into zombie!

And more than anything I want to thank to everyone who had been always supportive during this one of the hardest time of my life. My dearest family, friends and my beloved. I'd never be able to make this entire process alone. I love you all. And not to forget thank you so much for all those faithful readers who had kept visiting my blog even during my absence. So let me share my tiny life journey with everyone again.

Last Saturday, still feeling dreamy from the fact that I got a job the night before, we made a way to the Imperial Palace for a nice Saturday morning walk, although we had to gave up in the midst due to insane humidity.

But it was still a perfect choice to spend a day in Tokyo Station area.

*

Scrumptious Thai dinner, then dessert at L'occitane Cafe, my most favorite place in Shibuya. Darling, now you know so well how to pamper me:).

Facing to a cake like this I bet no girls can say " sorry but I'm on a diet" and stick to their green salad habit any more. Yes I totally broke my diet rule at least for that night. I even stole quite a lot of bites from Chris's berry tart. Oups;P

Feeling gloriously happy with my crème brûlée...

Life really is a miscellany of sugar and spice, don't you think?

Keep smiling, everyone !

Kisses,

she let herself whine

Because she knew, it always clears up.

feeling your love within a reach

I thought seeing Ai Tominaga was already an unreal kick-off of my 5 days holiday, but followed by Picasso exhibition and Slumdog Millionaire, too much surreality abounds in my head now which is making my brain extremely difficult to get back to ordinary mode.

And spending 3days in Tokyo with all my beloved people were just too wonderful, sweet and full of love.

Dinner in Kichijo-ji with my dear sister, brother and his girlfriend. Since he was the only guy on that evening he had to bear the full brunt of criticism toward men in the world from three loquacious ladies;P.

Although he was too sick and my new shoes gave me too much pains and blisters, Chris and I also had fantastic weekend. Loved picnic in Yoyogi Park. It was awesomely refreshing. By the way happy 9 months anniversary darling( though I know we don't care much about it)!

You too have a wonderful May readers, I'll still post once in a while until when I can make my full come back so please stay tuned:).

Much love!
