I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about Saizen, a Japanese franchise store that sells cheap, functional and cute items from Japan. Everything there sells at P85.00.
Last Saturday I had my chance to finally see the store when AJ took me there while we were strolling at Robinson’s Galleria.
The store really looks inviting…
I don’t know how I did it, but I managed to take snapshots of some of the items I saw there. Thankfully too, my cellphone camera (Sony Ericsson W995) cooperated that day and gave me clear pictures:
Pretty glass canisters with pink polka dots design for the cap cover.
These are banana plastic case holders. Cute!
Ceramic figurines. I almost bought one but thought that it won’t fit our "very conservative" living room hehe…
We regret not having bought these ice pop makers.
Craft punchers! It’s a surprise to find plenty of them here. Will definitely go back for these as they’ll make nice gifts for scrapbook hobbyists.
My eyes literally danced when I saw these candy-colored pens!
Cute ostrich pens!
Notebooks and drawing books in various designs and paper type.
Steel mesh pen stand in round or squarish shape. These are definitely a good buy since a pen stand of exactly the same design sells at P300 and above at department stores and bookstores (especially if branded).
Another "hoard"-worthy item from Saizen: colorful origami papers! Perfect for any DIY project!
Space-saving, colorful dust bins (perfect for office or other small spaces)
That’s all. These are actually just a preview of the many others you will find there.
We were able to buy kitchen items from here (not in picture because I wasn’t able to look properly at the kitchen section, it not being my "turf" but AJ’s hehe) and a clear case organizer for me.
Do visit Saizen, you won’t come out there empty-handed (a friendly warning for impulsive buyers like me). If you love looking and buying stuff at Japan Home, this is definitely a mecca for you.
Saizen is located at Robinson’s Galleria in Ortigas City.
![[ Long story ahead] π Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na π¬ We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well π
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin π Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya π.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining π

June 10, 2011 at 2:11 pmi’m really glad that more and more stores that sells Japanese products are opening in Phils. I mean, I know, we should buy Filipino, pero kasi katuwa talaga details on a lot of Japanese products. Lalo na with those on the creative industry talagang maaaliw with the products they can find. Although I have always found the banana case absurd – kasi diba, minsan iba ang shape ng banana? hehe!

June 11, 2011 at 1:30 amHehe I couldn’t agree with you more. Japanese products pay attention to details eh and that’s what I like most about them. And they’re very functional talaga.
About the banana case, it is indeed absurd and may be more appropriate as a bridal shower gift hehehe!
