Just Got Lucky

OTOSHIDAMA


This year I also received Otoshidama from my old folks here in Japan, my mom's FIL and my MIL. Whatta a lucky thing to start my New Year. I never expected it. How much? Surprisingly alot...

Actually the 4 envelopes are my lil girl's Otoshidama.




お年玉 OTOSHIDAMA, a monetary gift that is given by adults to kids (and not so young) on New Year's day. I think this is also common to many countries like in my homeland Philippines, just a bit different though.

I hope you also had a wonderful thing to start your great New Year...

More updates to come .. that's one of my resolutions this year.

Happy

    Wow love the monetary content inside the Otoshidama surely it would be a lot. Is Otoshidama is like the red envelope that Chinese also use to give money? My first time to see one like they are very colorful and cute to keep. Thanks for dropping by at my site I do appreciate it. Happy New Year!

Getting To Know Me

I'd like to introduce myself to BC Bloggers and to everyone who's following this precious site of mine. SO here I'm reblogging my "About Me" page (edited) to let you know a little info about myself. I also want to acknowledge Paula for this wonderful and exciting BC Blogger Getting To know Party =) Im Bambie, 27, currently living a happy, and simple life in the fast paced city of Tokyo, Japan. I started blogging when I was pregnant. I had to stop working so I pre-occupied myself with pregnancy scrapbooks and thought that it would be nice to have an online journal, specifically about my pregnancy. I just thought that I needed to have an online baby book so that my busy friends and family in different parts of the world could have a medium of getting updates about my baby girl (who are all more excited to see my baby than me lol) but yeah, blogging could be really addictive especially when you have regular readers who keep on inspiring you in some way. I never i...

Tonkatsu at Hamakatsu

Just wanna share this post to food trip friday.. It's been awhile and I miss sharing my foods and reading my co-foodtrippers' yummylicious food posts... Last week, we had... ..a full course of TONKATSU meal at my favorite Tonkatsu Restaurant in town —- the Hamakatsu . As usual, it came with an amazing miso soup, shredded cabbage, oshinko, and sesame seeds for the sauce, dressings, and oolong tea. Goma-suri (sesame seed grinder) to make the tonkatsu sauce tastier :) mouthgasm! This time I ordered a different tonkatsu set, which are pork cutlets (rosu and hi-re, i don’t the term in english lol)　and ebi fry (deep fried shrimp). I even asked for another extra rice in a bowl. We also ordered a separate meal set from the kids’ menu for our little princess.. Katsudon Kid’s dinner set :) What I love about family restaurants here in Japan is their freebies for the kids.. Anzu chose the Lilo Stitch coloring set from this basket. What an amazing dinner! To...

Fresh Oyster

I've never eaten raw oyster anywhere else other than here in Japan. It's big, yummy and I'm sure it's clean and fresh, as in fresh... I never had raw oysters before because I was scared to try them. The first time I tried them was just late last year (i can't remember). It was really good. Never judge a book by its cover.
