Kozantei Ubuya

So for this trip in Japan, we decided to book a private suite at a ryokan, Kozantei Ubuya. Located at Kawaguchiko. We have looked at a lot of ryokan in this area and found that Kozantei's private suite room number 501 is the best choice for us! We wanted a full Japanese room with Mt.Fuji view. So after emailing them regarding which room we wanted.. we got it! I was soo happy. Cuz the other private suite was a western room and we didn't want that.

Packing for Tokyo!

So in 3 days we are going for our honeymoon in Tokyo. Actually, I don't like calling this honeymoon cuz I find traveling with him everyday is always the best days of my life. So I guess this is another of our travel trips.. diaries.. whatever you wanna call it. We finally started to pack our bags today. Didn't fill it up cuz we have decided to buy clothes in Tokyo.

Phuket airport shuttle, sim card and motorbike!

So last year when I went to Phuket I booked my airport shuttle with phuketshuttle. However this year, I found a cheaper company costing only 600 Baht from the airport to Patong. The other one was 800 Baht. This year, we went with SRC Travel. At first I tried to book online but it didn't have an option to pay in cash, so I contacted them through email and they gave me a confirmation to pay to the driver when I arrived.

When we arrived it was thankfully sunny! We arrived at the new Phuket airport and as we came out of the airport I went to get my Thai phone sim. After all the baggage claim, go outside and on your right you will see a red counter in English and Thai. You will definitely see the sim counter 'TrueMove'. I got the one week sim card which was for around 300 Baht if I remember. Quite a good deal and I realised that the internet in Phuket is so much better compared to what we have here in Indonesia.

Ichikami Shampoo & Conditioner Review

I'm gonna share a review of Ichikami line even though I tried this quite a while back. Anyway, I was so eager to try this products cuz of the cute packaging and you know.. Japanese products are just soo appealing to me. I bought mine quite a while back at Metro in Gandaria City, Jakarta. They had this Japanese products section on that day and I decided to give Ichikami a try. I bought the shampoo, conditioner and the treatment.

I thought I was Pregnant!

Here is the story, I was due to have my period on the 23rd of September. But it didn't came.. I waited and waited and I thought I was just too tired or stressed or whatever that makes my hormones crazzzyy. I was freaking out cuz my period have been always on time this year.. I got worried after 5 days of white pantyliners. No red spot at all! I knew I must not be pregnant cuz you know... from what we have done and stuff.

We are at that stage in life where we are married but definitely not ready yet for babies. We will have them soon.. but definitely not anytime now.

So anyway, I read in google that people have tried to overdose on vitamin C to induce the period, which I started doing on Friday (3 days ago). Thought I should just give it a go. Nothing to lose here. I took around 6000mg to 8000mg of vitamin C daily. In small dosage of 500mg to 1000mg. The vitamin C I took was of Cenovis brand.

Today was the 3rd day after my overdose of vitamin C and still.. no period. I took the test and it was negative, which confirm my missed period. This morning I made myself parsley tea. Guess what?!?!?! I just got my period in the afternoon.. I dunno what works.. was it the vitamin C or the tea or I was just 1 week and 1 day late..?

I drank 2 cups of parsley tea today and I think it also helps with my cramping. I've always cramped every month. I'm one of those people who takes days off every month from cramps.

So anyway, I'm not sure whether it helps or not.. but I'll continue drinking this herbal tea during period.

Love,
Cha
