It is heartbreaking. From the moment word got out about the earthquake. 8.9 magnitude. Devastating.

Our worlds took a pause yesterday to as all of us stayed glued to our tv sets. We are the lucky ones. Our brothers and sisters in Japan had to endure it. My family and I would like to offer our sincerest condolences to families who have lost their loved ones and to everyone in Japan we say we are so sorry to hear about the tragedy. The whole world will be supporting you. Give yourselves the time to grieve. It is just but right physically and spiritually. But be strong. You will not be alone.

Our hearts and prayers are with you...

A new kind of WAKA as we want to joke about it! hehehe

Cebu's Japanese Style Sumibi Yakiniku Wakamatsu !!!

Have you been there already? It's our new fave "grill/eat-all-you-can" place.

Last time we took the kids here, big sis says,"This restaurant is amazing..."

So what better place to celebrate the eve of her 7th birthday but at the 'amazing restaurant'!

The state of the art smokeless charcoal grill.

Angus beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, fish, squid! Ask for it, they got it!. Deliciously marinated I should add.

Seldom do I go for these kind of dining but this just got me!

We always have fun cooking them cold cuts ourselves and devouring them to our hearts' desires.

And they are not pretty pricey actually.

Shio, Tare, MIso, Black Pepper, Teriyaki, Basil, and Butter Garlic.: their sauces are simply tasty!!!

**Burp**

HAHAHAHAHA

No complains on the staff! They are as alert and just as fast as you can say "next cut" please!

Do visit them at

A Japanese kaleidoscope. One of Kyoto's traditional pieces. My girls got theirs from an auntie who came from Japan last week. The wrap is quite interesting as I have never seen textile being used on a kaleidoscope before. It's red. Very oriental.
It had been a very very long time since I've handled a kaleidoscope so I got pretty excited for my girls. They had fun indeed! Kept looking at it to no ends!
And according to Ava..."mama, a kaleidoscope is a rainbow butterfly?"
I just had to smile and kiss her. Coz that's exactly what you see inside. No better way to describe it.

We did lunch.
Our pre-Valentine's Day date of sorts. hehehe
I usually insist that we do Valentine's Day dates ON Valentine's Day, the 14th. This year, I let it go. We suddenly got invited for lunch on the 14th so we couldn't possibly go on another special meal for dinner. All I ever want for the Valentine's is a Japanese buffet. So Joel suggested we do our lunch on a weekday. So here we are!!!
This is my view during lunch. Japanese food for the whole 1 hour and a half!!! Overload much! But I love it! All for P350! Hehehe. I love this place!
We had a relaxed conversation, relaxed meal, a relaxed grip on our chopsticks and relaxed sips of our tea cups.
Amazing how the place gets full of people even on lunch during a weekday.
And as usual, Joel "makes" a plate. You know, even when things go into a frenzy, he still manages "make" himself a decent plate of certain type of food. Remember the Family Day buffet? He "made" an Italian plate. This time he had a Japanese plate. Hehehehe...
Although this time there was no frenzy, we were taking our sweet time. I'm just saying about the plating.
We love Japanese food.
