- Hi all! Here are my 7 big learnings here in Japan. I mostly talked about my ups and downs & personal growth as a person. I originally wanted to just write a blog entry about it, but thought I would share it here. Can't believe I've been here for 7 years! Shookt haha
If you've been a reader from way back before, thanks for following my journey! ^^
P.S. I look haggard here because I've been in the process of moving in to my new apartment haha. I literally just finished vacuuming before I recorded this video :)))

♡・° About Kaila / Rainbowholic °・♡
Hi there! I’m Kaila, and I’m a Kawaii Lifestyle Blogger & Creator based in Japan. I’m originally from Manila, Philippines. I’ve been living in Japan for almost 7 years. It used to be just a far-fetched childhood dream for me to work and live here a decade ago. I revamped this channel months ago because I want to challenge myself by coming up with creative, fun, and light-hearted videos of my hobonichi days & random adventures.
You can get to know me better through my blog at the.rainbowholi...

Dear all, thank you for your heart-warming comments! I appreciate all of you!
皆さん、たくさんの心温まるコメントをしてくれて、ありがとうございます！
Watched this today while browsing hundreds of videos about living/moving/surviving in Japan. I, myself, am planning to move there after taking Japanese classes here in the Philippines. I am a CPA and that is not an in demand job there in Japan. But it's not impossible. Though, like any other imperfect human, I started doubting my plans. Your video amplified that small voice in my mind telling me not to give up, that it's not impossible. This video is a year old. I hope you're even better and happier now! (from 🇵🇭)
Hello kaila sensei! i have been reading your blog entries since i was 13/14 years old! and i wanted to thank you for always being a big inspiration to me! seeing you being able to achieve your dreams has always helped me get motivated to follow my own dreams! i wish you the very best and thank you so so much for being an inspiration to all of us ! to inspire us to always follow our dreams!
I was brushing my teeth while watching this video and unconsciously stopped to 100% listen to you.... soon i'll be taking a big step in my life and your words were very helpful and genuine! Please take care and i hope your 8th year in japan will be even better ! Can't wait to see your future projects and videos 💓💓
I watched it until end!! and am so proud of you,, you're so tough, went to another country when you were young is soooo coollll...
I never live at another country but always dreaming that one day I can live at Japan, at least for 3 years. This video inspires me a lot. Hope you're always healthy, so you can keep creating a great content. I love your videos, I always watching it.
Fighting Kaila! Thanks for sharing such a great story!
Sobrang happy that I found your channel! Thank you for all the wonderful lessons in this video. 😊💕
so proud of you ♡ always wishing you the best
You're brave for reflecting on your growth and struggles faced in the years past. Nothing comes easy in life; I'm sure we'll all continue to struggle once in a while regardless of age. But with each success and failure gained, it helps to shape us into becoming better person than before, if we let it. Let's do our best each day, because that's all that matters in the end!
thank you, you are correct! nothing comes easy in life. let's do our best!
You’re such a beautiful soul. Such important messages of hope and persistence. Thank you for your honesty 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your personal wisdom with us despite feeling vulnerable or emotional doing so Kaila. You are a beautiful woman with a empathetic heart. I wish you well as you continue to seek your dreams and goals.
thank you Leslie! I hope for the best for you too!
How brave of you to share your thoughts and feelings with the world! I congratulate you for your courage and I’m sure your dreams will come true! Great learnings you have had and will continue to have. Never give up on your dream! All the best for your future!
gorgeous video omg .. You're making me cry too! All of these things are so important teachings, you've really inspired me. Thank you xxx
I really like your long sit down videos where you talk about stuff. I watch the whole thing every time. I like the perspective and things you share in this video. Good advice! Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching until the end! I do love sharing my experiences so I'm so happy people appreciate them.
I can say from experience that your words are true. I can tell that you appreciate and love your life. I don't think you know how your subs are also grateful and proud of you.
Dear Kaila it was a bit hard to see you cry, so I’d like to give you a big virtual hug 💗 It is true that crying can help to calm down, so I hope it works like that for you. I think that you’ve come so far in those 7 years, you’ve really accomplished a lot! I can only imagine how hard it must be to live in a foreign country by yourself. You can be really proud of yourself.Also maybe the word you were looking for (during the entitlement point) is compassion? I’m older than you and my mental age will always be around 8, lol. You’ll probably learn that when you get older you will naturally get more compassion and start to give less f’s about other peoples opinions, which is great. Take care Kaila!
thank you! COMPASSION is the word! omg. thank you for sharing and for your supportive comments! *virtual hug*
😊😊awww so sweet. Thank you for being transparent and for sharing your feelings. I love your videos ❤️ and as you said “cry if you must”. We all have our good days and our bad days.
thank you too for watching!
Thanks for sharing to us your life lessons ate Kaila 😊 I’m 18 now but since I was 17 I’ve been saving up to move to Japan after college to fulfill my dreams like what you’re doing ✨
gambatte! you can do it!
So much love for this. Much much much needed. Thank you so much for sharing.
i am just crying right now because you touch me and you can not realize but watch your video help me because when i discover your channel i was in a bad place, i just lost someone who i really loved and who was very important in my life, even it was a small thing in a big ocean of problems, watching your video was always a pleasure and made me start an hobonichi, it gave a new hobby how i really enjoy doing every day. So i just wanted to say thank you Kaila, i love what you do and i hope one day i will be able to realize my dream just like you, to visit Japan...
aww, thank you for sharing this with me! I'm sorry to hear about what happened before.. but you are strong, so you shall conquer! thank you and don't give up on your Japan dream! so happy that it has brought you joy as much as it brought me happiness too.
thank you Kaila for your kind words, you are so sweet
This is such an amazing video, Kaila. You have done so much and come so far in seven years. Thank you for inspiring me to stay positive and follow my dreams. I love hearing your thoughts on living in a new country. I have only traveled to countries but never lived in a new one. I think you are both wise and brave.
thank you Christa-san! you know why :)
I'm Brazilian and I'm living in China now and my dream is to live in Japan. Hope I can make it! Your video was really inspiring, I was also crying hahaha thank you for that!
you're already near, don't give up!
You're such an inspiration. It's been a while since I started learning Japanese and it's been quite a long while since I wanted to go live in Japan as well. I've never been in Japan before and this summer will be my first time. For me, that is a really BIG STEP. And I will keep fighting, and I hope I can make it and end up living there. Thank you for inspiring me! And thank you for making me buy a Hobonichi so that I can write there my little achievements, and for making me want to decorate it and for making me want to spend my money on stationery. FIGHTING KAILA! :)
thank you ariadna! I believe that your dream is possible so 頑張れ！！

Aw girly, ya got me cryin over here with you haha :’) This touched me cuz I feel the same with a lot of things. Depression is not a fun thing to go through, but once you come out of it with a positive mindset, it is a game life changer for sure. You are so strong and I know that dream is as good as yours with the way you are and how hard working you are too! 💖 You can do the thing! 😆✨

In just one month living in Japan I already feeling this ups and downs, somedays are like the best thing in my life, and some other days I just miss go much my family friends and my boyfriend. But it’s also my big dream to live here, so I going to do the must that I can to live a grant time here, and live my dream. Thank you once more for sharing your learning, I going to keep it in my mind by sure 💖
It’s not always easy, but with love and determination, we can do it!
wow, PHD! sounds tough yet exciting! sometimes it's hard to be in a totally different place but this is where we grow. I know you will have a blast here. you'll miss many people but I know they are all happy for you! gambatte!
Thanks for this Kaila! Love your spirit. You’re very hardworking & I believe things will work out for you as you keep trying. Xx

dear ida, thanks for ALL of your comments! God bless you too.
Wow!!! Thank You for this video.
Believe me when I say that this is gonna to be one of my motivational videos.
Thank you and congratulations for your work and bravery. 🙇😊😙
What a lovely video! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤️🌈❤️
Your words are encouraging and inspiring. I now your future will be bright.
Oh my heart. Thanks for being an inspiration. 💕💕💕
Be more forgiving of yourself and learn to be comfortable with yourself when you cannot please everyone around you. Its impossible you can please everyone in life. You will go mental if you keep on dwelling in it. You will learn our emotions and mental state sometimes are really out of our own control, so its best when its going negative, you distract yourself right away.
thanks for your additional input! i am forgiving of myself and I'm comfortable with myself (hence, an unfiltered video of me being true and i published it whatever the result). What you say is true, anyone cannot please everyone. The time I moved out from Philippines for Japan, many were happy and disappointed / skeptical for me.. it didn't matter for me. For me if it's going to negative, i just try to compartmentalize my emotions and see the bigger picture but i do still acknowledge the presence of negativity for the purpose of how I could turn it into a more positive situation (if possible) / or how I can learn from it. Totally blocking out negativity does not work for me in some situations and most of the time, I had to deal it with face-to-face.. and at the end, it all depends on how I respond back (by not reacting too much).
You are incredible, Kaila!
Please do a room tour vlog in your new apartment soon , カイラ! 💕
Oh! Thank you for this video. I'm crying with you. ♥ I have never traveled. I still live in my native land. But my brother traveled for work on Iceland. He was very happy there. He wanted to live there. He wanted his family to live with him. He had many great plans. Oh! I'm writing and crying. :-( My brother died last year :-( He stayed on Iceland forever. My heart hurts. But thank you for your story. Thank you ♥ And. Happy Tuesday dear Kaila ♥
aww, that must be tough :( thanks for sharing something personal. he is looking after you, don't worry. happy Saturday!

カイラちゃん
私も英語がわからないので、カイラちゃんが泣いているのが気になりました‥
この動画を何度も聞いたけど、わからなかった。
英語わからないけど、
日本人でもカイラちゃんからhappyをもらっている人はたくさんいます！
ありがとう♡
カイラちゃんの日本の生活も応援しています‼︎
カイラちゃんが笑顔になれますように♡
michihachiさん、サンキュ！
Kaila, you are a true ball of sunshine! I enjoy watching you grow and your adventures that you take with Aki and just overall getting to know what a blessed young lady you truly are! I am so, so proud that I know you and can learn and adventure with you through your videos! Keep doing what you are doing and God bless you in all that you will do! Love you to bits! Keep and eye on your mail box, too! Let me know if your address has changed!
thank you! yup, I've moved! thanks for watching our adventures, I appreciate your encouragement.
Ang cute ng mga journal mo pati mga merch mo😊
英語がわからないのでKailaちゃんが何故泣いているのかわからないのですが、もしかして帰国されたのでしょうか？Kailaちゃんの動画が大好きで、ほぼ日を始めたきっかけもKailaちゃんです。それまで平凡に過ごしてきた私ですが毎日ほぼ日を書きながらKailaちゃんの動画の更新を楽しみにして…私の生活をHAPPYに変えてくれたのがKailaちゃんです。どこにいてもKailaちゃんは私の大切な宝物です。もしも日本にいて引っ越しただけならば見当違いの事を書いてごめんなさい。英語ができないので普段コメントもしづらかったのですが泣いている姿を見て思わずコメントしてしまいました。日本語でごめんなさい。
m sekino 横からコメントごめんなさい。 私も英語わからなくて、でも私も同じ気持ちだったのでコメントしてしまいました。
帰国はされてないと思うのですが、涙の理由はわからないですね（ ; ; ）
とにかく、私もカイラちゃんの動画を楽しみにしている日本人の一人です。
返信ありがとうございます！同じ日本の方でカイラちゃんを応援している方からの返信とても嬉しいです！何があったのか本当に心配ですよね…。他の方のコメントを翻訳サイトで日本語にしてみましたが、マイナスなコメントなどはなくてみなさんカイラちゃんに感謝してるメッセージを送ってるようですが…。文章であれば翻訳サイトで何となくわかりますが喋っているとどうしても理解ができなくて(´；ω；｀)カイラちゃんのチカラになれないのが情けない気持ちでいっぱいです。
m sekino こちらこそ返信ありがとうございます。
そうなんです、お話されてるとわからなくて、何も出来ず悔しいです（ ; ; ）
でもマイナスなことではなさそうですね。本当に良い涙だといいですね！
コメントありがとう！sekinoさんが幸せになって私も嬉しいです。私は帰国しませんよ。日本に長く住みたいです。^^
virtual hug from me too ;DD
