SHIKIMIKIE

I had a total of four iPhones. I haven't had any of them glass shattered. Well until this happened. 

This is probably every iPhone owners' nightmare. The day they crack their screen. FYI I actually flinch when I see a broken iPhone. I don't know. Maybe I feel like they're gonna hurt themselves or something. Anyways, here's my story. Like, on my way home from the place where I bought my new bike, I dropped it. Great. Back story, even though it was raining, for a while, it was on the basket of the bike because I don't know how to go back home. I was checking on Google Maps so it was safe on the basket but then when I reached a familiar place, I decided to put it in my pocket to protect it from the rain. Then! When I was about to enter the bicycle's parking space of my mansion, I moved out of the bike and voila! My phone decided to move out of my pocket as well. Naughty phone if you ask me. I heard a loud crack but then I was on denial, maybe it's "not that kind of crack" because by that time, my phone was on like a thick notebook kind of casing but when I looked down, the casing was apart. Yappari. I then saw the crack. I saw a huge huge slice but when I lifted the screen protector, I was relieved. I was then like, can't do anything about the rest. I knew it should be fixed because not doing so would make the situation worse so yeah I was just happy that the phone is somehow usable and in not so damaged condition until repair day.   

I actually thought I was lucky that the crack is just tiny but it's not the case here. Small crack or totally shattered, same price. Meh. Then the search for a good cellphone service center begins. I don't have APPLE CARE so Apple store is out of the way. Although I should have considered! I searched for people's blog post because how else could I find a reliable store than reading people's review right? There's one in Shibuya but that's totally out of the way so I was just like, okay Takasaki then. Because I was actually going to Kita-Takasaki that day. On the web, they actually have the same price anyway so I was just like whatever even though I wanted to drop by Shibuya, the store doesn't open until like 10 or 11 and my work ends at early morning and I don't really have anything to do in Shibuya that day anyways. So I decided I will just go to the one in Takasaki. Oh before I went, I actually double checked how much thru phone because they don't have the price for the "s" series yet on the web so I was thinking (hoping) maybe the price for the iPhone 6+ is lower now or something but no. 

iPhone Quick in Takasaki 

I didn't have trouble finding it because it was quite easy to locate. It's probably 10 minutes away from Takasaki Station. Okay so when I went to the shop, I asked once again and voila! Same price as the one mentioned thru phone. I then asked why is the price different from the web and she said that the price on the web doesn't include labor or something. To save me from misery, I just imagined that the same misfortune is waiting for me in Shibuya. Can't really bothered so yeah I just proceeded with the operation and iPhone fixed. Wallet broken. Figuratively. I don't remember how much exactly but I paid around 28,000 yen and it took them about an hour to fix. I initially thought that going to an Apple store would be more expensive but no. I don't think so. My advise for everyone is to PLEASE GET APPLE CARE! IT WILL SAVE YOU FROM THIS MISERY. Also, do compare lotsa stores for there are quite a lot of options. I should have known better. Will never drop a phone ever again. Ciao! 

It was a "let's eat anywhere" kind of day when we decided to eat here. Also! Partially because I've been craving for meat the whole week or two that time. 

I've heard this place thru a friend but I haven't really gotten to eat so thankfully I was able to with Bry. They have quite a lot of options for the buffet. We got the middle option and it was worth it.

It's a typical yakiniku set-up. The meat they will be bringing though varies. Like, they do have this screen that has the options of the meat included in your package as well as other options you could choose from.

I tried to help. But all I did is wait for the meat to cook and eat. Also, order some more meat from the menu. Hahaha

That sirloin on the grill was my favorite piece that night. The pork wieners are good too! Actually, everything.

I really tried to help but I was denied. Hahaha thanks for grilling Bry. 

Also, very unpractical that I wanted to eat Stone Grilled Bibimbap. I know I came for meat but that's just me and my untimely cravings. It was delicious by the way. Also, besides this, I ordered a bowl of white rice. I'm Asian, don't judge me. 

The culprits! At this point, we were already really really full but I was like, dessert! And so we did. I tried to get all three options but the milk crepe cake something is not available anymore so meh. 

Although petite, it was delicious! :) All in all I would really recommend this place for huge meat eaters like us and it will surely do it for you.
