Japanese Summer Fiesta Bon Odori 2015 | Amazing Cebu

             Bon Odori or simply Bon Dance is a style of dancing performed during Obon. Originally a Nenbutsu folk dance to welcome the spirits of the dead, the style of celebration varies in many aspects from region to region. It’s a traditional summer festival in which Japanese honor their ancestors who have passed on, remember and appreciate all they have done for them, and celebrate their ongoing presence in the lives they enjoy today.

             I’d always wanted to check and experience Bon Odori personally even before the event was brought here in Cebu but there are so many things that hinder me on attending the first ever Bon Odori in Cebu last 2014. Who would not get excited attending an event having a purpose of deepening a friendship between Japan and Philippines, that would be just amazing for me. I’m so thankful that my new found friend Ivan invited me along with Kris, Donn and Dennis to go with them and enjoy Bon Odori 2015.

             But before giving you some details about this year’s Bon Odori, let me recap a little bit on what happened last year. Last August 8 and 9, 2014 Bon Odori 2014 was held at the Aboitiz Football Field having Japanese Culture Exchange Committee as the organizers. And more or less than 11,000 people participated the contest and double of that number were present and enjoying every activity. There were 110 Stalls occupying the field that showcased their products. The activities were Bon Odori Dance, Sinulog Dance, Portable Shrine, Yukata Contest, Karate Demonstration, Beans and Candy Shower, Cosplay Contest, Fireworks, Mochi Pounding and many more. Now enough with Bon Odori 2014, let’s get on Bon Odori 2015.

             This year’s Bon Odori 2015 was held last August 7 and 8, 2015 having D’ Family Park Talamban Cebu City as the venue. The activities were Sinulog Dance, Portable Shrine, Candy Shower, Bon Odori Dance, Karate, Mochi Making, Yukata Contest, Karaoke Contest, Cosplay Contest, Fireworks and Raffles. As I was approaching the venue, I can already sense the liveliness of the people celebrating the festival outside the gate and that makes me even more excited to witness the festival. People were wearing Japanese dresses (Yukata and Kimono) and cosplaying, eating, dancing, selling on the booths and other activities were all over the ground. There’s one activity that I love to witness, fireworks!!! I’m this very much obsess with colourful and sparkling lights and yes, Christmas lights are one of them. I even got sad when the very heavy rain fall that night and yes, I got wet but not that much because of the three handsome gentlemen I’m with. Good thing the heavy rain doesn’t last long, and just after it was gone the fireworks pushed thru. Guess I’m blessed enough to experience this kind of tradition and hopefully witness it again in Japan.

             The event was a really big success because many people enjoyed it. And by next year, on the coming Bon Odori 2016, let’s relive and captivate the moment as we will be celebrating again the Summer Festival here in Cebu in a Japanese Traditional Way. So don’t you miss it because I’m sure you’ll never regret it... ^_~ #WWRshares

Definitely Japan. Definitely Kojie.san

             Have you ever tried something that will surely assure you the result of what you were hoping to achieve. Whew, that line sounds so hard to believe but come to think of it, how would you be able to achieve on something when you will not try, how will you move forward if you will continue to doubt, how will you gain the contents of your dreams if you will not risk doing and how will you be able to achieve the glowing soft skin you dreamed of if you will not try to use Kojie.san soap.

             HhhMmm… Every one of us needs to be assures how safe and helpful something we will be using especially when it comes to our skin care because as each of us knew that skin is the biggest part of our body and we can’t do anything to hide it to the public. As for those in mind, it is very much important for us to only use the original kojic acid soap to make our skin glowingly soft and safe from harm. Yes, I know imitators were very much attacking the market to browse and check what to imitate and what were mostly bought by the public. Please always keep in mind how to deal with imitations because an original is worth more than a copy just like Kojie.san. If you may not know, Kojie.san is the first kojic acid soap to be commercially available in the Philippine market. And add up the fact that Kojie.san has a micro peeling effect, which makes it a potent whitening product and does not contain any harmful chemicals for it contains antioxidants and 100% all natural ingredients.

             If you still have doubts then I’ll give you a couple of situations that might help you decide. First, do you know that feeling, when you just bumped with someone you got admired with then you happen to checked how oily and exhausted you were for the long day of doing some stressful activities? How could you smile and approach him/her if you’re too shy of doing, for you wouldn’t have the confidence because of your oily and stressed face. Well, Kojie.san surely got a solution that solves your simple wish, which were having that glowing and soft skin that might slightly attracts your inspiration. And here it goes the other scene; do you also experience sometimes where you have some money but lend it just for the soap you’re buying because it’s as expensive as your meals? You’ll be broke if you force to buy such expensive beauty soap as your salary wouldn’t make it. HhhMmm, no worries for that anymore for Kojie.san just offered you something that you will not realize in an instant that you’re saving your money already. You can buy your meals and beauty soap which is Kojie.san without worrying that you’ll be spending much money. Kojie.san has this ability of making itself cover a very huge part of your body even though you just apply a very small part of it. You will surely saves a lot of money because of Kojie.san.

             Now, for those scenarios above, will you still doubt to buy such a beauty soap that’s mostly answer­­s your wishes? And to add up, I recommend Kojie.san because it’s the only original kojic acid soap that offers the “Beauty” and “Budget” in one, superB and B. So what are you waiting for, have some time purchasing Kojie.san and see for yourself how beauty slowly grows in you.

             You can buy Kojie.san in your preferred supermarket or you may easily drop by on some stalls inside a mall where you and your barkadas go and have some chilling. For more inquiries, details and updates about Kojie.san you may check the links below:
