Japanese Chocolate
I love chocolates. I’m not very choosy with them either. But since I tried Meiji chocolates, they’ve been a favorite.
A week after the big earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, I picked these sweets up from a Mercury drug store. Strawberry and Marbles.
I love their smell. As soon as I open the box, I cannot resist them.
Funny thing is, I forgot about these babies for a full week before finding them again still wrapped in plastic.
So since buying them, I’d been thinking of having them, but I managed to wait another week before ripping each pack open and devouring them. Yay, me. haha
Sometimes I buy two of each kind just for backup. I keep it in my bag, waiting there for some kind of travel emergency. You’ll never know when you might need a pick-me-up right? And these chocolates do just that for me. Okay, I probably should have something else in my bag just in case there’s a real emergency too.

old school kaya ang CRC! 🙂 Di naman kami big time. Simpleng mamamayan lang. I was a child rights advocate since I was a kid and the experience helped deal really well with different kinds of people. It was a very humbling experience. Sana mabalikan ko rin yung ganung gawain paminsan minsan.
Mabuhay ka Lee! 🙂
