When I said yes to a
Shiseido event invite, I honestly thought it's for a new skincare or makeup product. When I realized that they are launching a collagen drink, I was confused! I mentioned it to my friends and to my Ate (older sister), and got both very positive feedbacks.
Ashley, who has been living in Japan for years, said that the product is so popular there because it effectively eliminates eye bags! Ate said that her friend who already lives in Japan recommended Shiseido The Collagen to her after they got dark from a long Siargao beach trip!
Testimonies mean a lot to me, so I was already sold even without trying it first! But of course, it will be nice to get to know more about the product first hand from the brand. More on the launch below!
So many things had happened since I last went to Japan. During the first 2 months of "Japan separation anxiety", my friends and I created the
@japaninmanila Instagram account to post our food, fashion, and other Japan related sightings while here in the Metro. On the 5th month, I started binge watching Terrace House, Good Morning Call, Atelier, and other Japanese shows and dramas on Netflix! By the 6th month, I've already moved on to Korea and Kdramas.
But even though I've been posting more Korean content now, there's a special place in my heart for Japan. Every memory from this travel still gives me the feeling of longing and chills. I miss it! Imagine my excitement when I saw photos of the orange torii gates on display at the Shangri-La Plaza Mall! It's like being in Kyoto all over again!

To borrow my friend Ashley's blog segment, I think I found my own "Japan in Manila"
