Living Alone✨ a day in my life in Tokyo🇯🇵, Michelin star restaurant🌟, shopping in Shibuya🗼
Foreign [Music] Good morning everyone! As you guys might or might not realize, I am in Tokyo right now.
So today, we're gonna spend a day together in Tokyo while I shop and do my own things. I have actually quite a lot of things that I need to buy and that I want to buy. Just to update you guys, I'm currently in my summer break, so my uni hasn't started yet. If you know me, you probably know how skincare and getting ready in the morning is important for me. I feel like it gets you going and when you look good, you feel good. It's not because you'll look different when you put on makeup, but because you know you put an effort into looking good.
Whenever my mood is down, I like to put some makeup on while listening to your music. It always boosts my mood and I instantly feel much more positive towards life. Your mood booster doesn't have to be makeup. To be honest, I don't wear makeup every day either, but finding a couple of things that boost your mood, no matter what, is really important in my opinion to survive.
Okay, so my makeup is done, let's pack some stuff and go out! One thing I never get tired of about Tokyo is the vibe. Just walking around the city itself is an activity for someone like me who grew up and lives outside of Japan. We have a dinner reservation tonight, so my mom and I were supposed to not eat much, but we were hungry, so we decided to have some Chinese food for lunch.
Recently, I've realized that I like foreign foods in Japanese style. In Japan, or in whatever country you live in, the restaurant probably kind of adapts foreign food to that country's taste preference. For example, I like Korean food in Japan more than Korean food in Korea because I can't tolerate hot food that much. When I had Korean food in Korea, I simply couldn't eat it. But I'm a big fan of Korean food in Japan. I'm sorry if I offend anyone this time before.
Okay, so we basically right now heading to Nike. I want to buy some stuff and we're gonna look for some activewear. Let's go! Okay, so I picked up three items and let's try them all. I like the top; there's little Nike details off the bottom. I think a bit too oversized, though. What do we think?
Also, I found this! I have like a black version of this and this is like a greenish-blueish color. Okay, so I decided to get this sweater and also this t-shirt, but I decided to not buy this. I'm also gonna get my mom a pair of pants and also a bunch of like socks for the gym because I've been hitting the gym pretty consistently for over a couple of months.
Stay here through the night. Lay me down, lay me down. There's like a cave of idol, I don't know, advertisement or something. A lot of girls are taking photos in front of them, making heart signs and taking pictures, and there is like a line for God. I don't know, I don't really understand people who are obsessed with Kpop, but when I think about it in terms of Jojo, if I would see a poster of Jojo, I would also take a picture in front of it. So maybe it's the same thing. Awesome! [Music] [Music]
Okay guys, so oops! Why is my camera crooked? Let me show you guys what I got today. I actually couldn't finish my shopping because we need to go to dinner, so there were actually more things I would like to buy. So the first thing is I got myself a new lens, which is the Sony FE 55mm F1.8. It is such a nice bulky lens for my Sony a7c, which is my main camera. I'm currently recording with the Sony zv1, which is a block cam. This lens is so bulky and it is so nice. I'm gonna film all of my main videos with this lens from now on to give it a more like expensive bulky look.
It was around like 650ish dollars. Okay, so the first one is this light greenish Nike sweater. I'm like trying to kind of buy more casual clothes for uni because I feel like most of the clothes that I have are really classic and more formal, you know? Like for good restaurants and for more serious occasions. So I don't have like that much daily clothes that I can wear to uni or to, you know, just hop into public transportation or just study at a cafe or a library.
All of my clothes are so formal and classic. They're nice, but also they're not like for daily usage. So I decided to get some stuff to wear casually. I also got quite a lot of Nike socks because I have been training quite often, like four to five times a week at the gym. You know, I just like bought some socks to pair with my training clothes and yeah, nice! They're comfortable and actually socks are pretty... you know, plays a big role in your performance, I guess. Somebody told me that. I don't remember who.
Also, I got this t-shirt that I showed in the shop. It's like a really nice material, but I bought the XX large. I usually wear excess in Nike, but I got big XX large because it was like really tight and a crop top, but I wanted it to be a bit more loose. So that's all I got today. Because of the lens, I spent quite a lot of money, but it's just a business expense.
So if you want to try out Japanese snacks, traditional ones or the new modern snacks, Tokyo Treat and Sakuraco are perfect matches for you. Tokyo Treat and Sakuraco are both Japanese monthly snack subscription boxes. Tokyo Treat is a monthly Japanese snack subscription box where you will get up to 20 of the latest, most exclusive, limited edition and seasonal flavored Japanese snacks that are only available in Japan for a limited time.

Tokyo Treat's and Sakuraco boxes come with a different theme every month, keeping things exciting and fresh. Sakuraco and Tokyo Treat want to share Japanese culture with the world through the medium of snacking. If you want to enjoy pop Japanese snacks, you can choose Tokyo Treat, but if you want traditional Japanese treats, you can enjoy Sakuraco instead.
This month's Sakuraco theme is Koyo, where you can experience the splendors of Japanese autumn. On the other hand, Tokyo Treat takes you to one of the coolest places in Tokyo, Akihabara. You can explore the Japanese pop culture and enjoy yummy snacks. If you're afraid of not knowing the snacks in the box, don't worry! They provide a booklet inside and they explain every snack included in the box. It's also really informative about Japanese culture and you can learn a lot.
By the way, the hotel room is so nice! Like, the view... you can see the Sky Tree Tower from here. The general vibe of the hotel is so bougie and luxurious and really modern. In the future, if I would like to have my own apartment or my own villa, I would like to make my apartment like this—stylish yet minimalistic.
No, it's not minimalistic, but it's also not like really flashy. Also, I would definitely love to have a bathtub in my place in the future. And also this mirror is so huge, and with the lighting, it just looks so good. I'm gonna film a morning routine and skincare routine here and all of the amenities are really high quality.
This hair dryer literally costs like four hundred dollars. One of the best hair dryers of all time that is made in Japan is from a Japanese brand. I mean, is it worth it? If you have a lot of money, then yes, but you know, spending four hundred fifty to five hundred for a hair dryer is insane. But it's quite a popular hair dryer.
Orange pen, I pretty much got done with my shopping. I'd say 40% and I'm also gonna go to dinner and do some work after we get back. I don't know if I'm gonna train today. I might not be able to because I couldn't sleep last night that much because I'm really jet-lagged. The time difference between Japan and trivia is six hours, so I managed to sleep only like four hours. And I walked quite a lot today.
If I would have enough energy to hit the gym, I'll definitely hit the gym after the dinner. So I changed my clothes. Okay, so I got ready for dinner. I wish I brought my like Versace bag that I recently bought; it would look much nicer with this outfit. But this is like a really nice, a bit feminine slash masculine outfit.
I don't wanna lose [Music] [Music]. Let me support foreign [Music] ergy. I will definitely work out because I really need to digest all this stuff. Hi guys, we came back to the hotel and as you can see, I changed my clothes.
So I was laying on the bed and I was just thinking, I'm too tired to hit the gym today. I should maybe just like sleep. I have no motivation to do anything, but then... but then... but then since my goal is to build a rounder, peachy butt and also have nice defined abs till the end of this year, and also like some muscles in my upper body. I mean, it's not that much, but I think I'm making progress, so I want to like get more fit this year. This is like one of my fitness goals for this year.
Then I was just like wanting to sleep, but also today is actually my leg day. Leg day workouts are one of the things that I enjoy the most about the gym. It is just like so fun to hit legs. I think girls, if you're trying to hit glutes, if you're trying to grow your glutes, you probably know that joy that you get from leg workouts.
Anyway, when I was too tired and I was just like... when I was trying to convince myself to sleep and I was just like listing reasons to take a break today, I mean, of course, you can always take a break from the gym if you're feeling exhausted, but I wasn't feeling exhausted. I was just feeling lazy. There are like two different things.
So I thought to myself, let me just wear my workout clothes and then let's see if I'm like still tired and if I still don't want to hit the gym, I'm just gonna take a rest. But I changed into my workout clothes and now I'm really ready to hit the gym. So I think I was just like lazy, not physically tired, but just like mentally really drained.
So I decided to hit the gym, so let's go! I think one of the most important lessons that I've learned throughout like years of trying to become more productive is that doing it one step at a time is the most important thing. Like laying on the bed. From laying on the bed to going to the gym, there is just like a bit too much difference between them, you know? One is really comforting; you feel lazy laying on the bed.
And then the other one is like physically really tiring. Therefore, reading and trying to convince yourself to go to the gym, I think it is important to break it down into smaller steps. For example, I said to myself, I'm just only gonna wear my gym clothes and then we'll see how I feel. So I wore them and now I want to hit the gym.
So it's like much easier for me right now to hit the gym when you compare kneeling on the bed versus me wearing my gym clothes. So taking a small, tiny baby step towards your goal and breaking it down into small, achievable steps, doing it first and then thinking and kind of like rethinking back. Can I, like, am I able to do this? Oh bent down low.
Okay [Music]. I don't need to see me when you're underneath [Music]. All the time, I will make you [Music]. Thank you [Music]. Thank you.
