White Day in Advance

You have read my post about Valentine’s Day Japanese style. Last Saturday me and the crazy people of POS, celebrated White day in advance, white day is celebrated every March 14. This is the time where the boys are the ones who give out chocolates.
I was at the meeting place by 3 pm in Philippine time, I was early because as I have said in this post

I will be giving chocolates for the girls too. I had to pick up the chocolate cake balls I bought from a Yani Cakes, read more about them in this post 

I had so much Japanese food that day. Me and my partner ate at Tempura for lunch and dinner was at Oki Oki. It was all fun, the fireworks and the free ice cream for someone pretend birthday, you know we love you Bell right?

I enjoyed the fireworks, as I saw colors that is not usually use like pale orange, purple and green. Also I got this

Ej's Gift


Someone gave me something last Saturday that made me hyper. Thanks to Ej I have something to add to my collection of Jack Skellington as seen in my post Jacks Everywhere

I am not meticulous about what goes to my collection as long as I see Jack I am fine with that it does not matter where you got it as long as it is not stolen. I was told this was brought from a thrift shop. It is a cap with Jack and Boggie man

The moment it was given to me, I wore and only removed it during dinner and while I was on my way home. Until now I still do not know if I want to use it every day or just hide it like the rest of my collection.

Either way I am super happy it was given to me. One of the best White day gift to me

Saturday= Fireworks and Chocolates


I belong to an anime and manga loving group called Philippine Otaku Society. Three or four years ago, we started celebrating Valentines’ day in each other’s company. It did not matter if some of us have partners. We have adopted the Japanese tradition for this day, in which the girls are the one that gives the boys chocolate.

I will be sharing a few tips to avoid getting annoyed by the crowd
• Set a call or meet up time
• Set a meet up location
• If you have plans of watching something be at the venue early for a good viewing or sitting location
• Bring potluck if allowed
• Water is life (hahaha)

This year we got tickets for the first day of the 5th PryoMusical Competition.

This year's Schedule

While waiting for the others we decided to go to Chocolat for cake. This is my partner's favorite cake shop. We had cake and ice tea



Chocolat's Deep Dark Chocolate Cake and Iced Tea

We did a little shopping at the supermarket because I did not have chocolates to give out and I need to buy water and food




At the venue, boys got their chocolates a few of the girls gave the other girls chocolate too; I was all fun after all it has been a while since I got to see these lovely people. Oh! I was with my sister it was fun having to do things you like with the people you love. There was a scary situation where I thought someone took money from my coin purse (I suck at watching how I spend my money when I am happy).


I got a lot of things yesterday too, my partner gave me a necklace where you have to get the pearl out of clam


My partner's Vday gift to me



A late Christmas give from Kikyo and someone from out group bought an item from our (me and my partner) shop.

How was your Saturday? Did you have a blast?
