Yes, because the day was super full of meetings – I actually forgot to have my coffee and was running on purely fat power! Add to that, being on my second day of OMAD fasting (yes, one meal a day), I was somehow able to last – but I dropped dead on my bed right after I got home. I just woke up now (it’s already 1:30 am the next day), and I’m fighting the urge to eat!!

Rewinding back, we had dinner with one of my favorite contacts from Japan at Locavore! We talked about work, non-work, and my future visit to Japan this November. She gave me tips on what to eat in Nagoya (apparently there are a lot of special food there), so that got me more excited. I wish I could visit her one day in Kobe!

Rich, myself, Bryan and Yuko!

Here are some photos of what we ordered. They do a modern/unique take on classic Filipino dishes and I love them all – albeit a bit pricey!

Bestseller – Sizzling Sinigang

Garlic (really) Baby Squid

Dinuguang Lechon Kawali – my fave of the night!

Today was also the last day to sign up for JLPT this December so I just gave it a go, even if I’m not really 100% committed yet. I purchased a class (online N3 lessons) on Udemy, so I hope that will be sufficient to push me to take this seriously.

I’ll try to go back to sleep now because tomorrow/later is another long day at work. I will also be heading to Eastwood for more meetings in the afternoon. I just hope I have enough time for coffee!
