Goofy us


Goofy us 2.0


Ueno crowd


It was full-packed! Even though it was not yet full bloom time. Like, it was the start of Sakura. Literally. We went there March 27, 2016 and the bloom started on the 25th I guess. 


Pretty

We ate a lot of foods! Okonomiyaki, yaki ika, cow tongue, long fries, and chocolate banana. 


It was still pretty though even though it was way too early for the hanami. 



Myself and Bry



It was beautiful lit up



The long fries was interesting and it was delicious! It was actually made from scratch. Not raw potatoes though, duh. Mashed potatoes and it was pushed through this cool little device and cooked in front of us.

After our Hanami, we went to Ueno Market because he wanted to show me where he used to go where he still lived in Ibaraki and would go to his dad. It was nice. I would probably be afraid walking here alone though. Haha Ciao!

Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy | Movie Review

So on its first showing day, my family decided it's a good idea to watch it. Well not. Anyways. I didn't really like the movie. I guess I was expecting a little bit more from it. Like, it's quite nice for a good laugh but you know, very predictable! I guess it would have been nicer if there were other artists that played the role of the other characters but I guess that would be pointless since clearly, they thought of the concept very well. And that they clealy wanted one artist (just one artist) to do all four.  So the story is that they are quadruplets and that they were separated by birth by the evil grandmother (father side). Then two of them were brought to the United States and then two of them stayed with the mother and stayed in the province. Then girl, boy, bakla (gay), and tomboy it is. Surprising yeah? LOL. Okay so after several years, the boy needed to have a liver transplant and for some reason, they can't find a compatible donor so they...

Katy Perry's Wide Awake MV. Review.

Have you all watched Katy Perry's Wide Awake music video? Pretty awesome right? But just like any other music videos that I liked before, it's mysterious. So, the plot was like they were somehow shooting her "California Girls" music video. It was like she was on that cotton candy clouds something-something and yeah the music video shooting was done and now the intro of Wide Awake. I don't know what it was all about actually. But I'll try my best to figure this out. It was a wrap and she said goodbye to the people behind the scene and then she kind of removed the wig she was wearing on the shoot. The thing is I thought she was gonna remove her make-up and that wig cap but just when I though she would, branch-looking hair kind of appeared sideways and then the theme became some sort of a forest/jungle where it was suddenly dark. And I was like "is she dreaming?" Probably not. Because she's wide awake, DUH? So yeah. Also, a very fake-loo...

EXPLORING Takasaki

Takasaki has been one of my favorite cities to visit recently. It`s not much but going here kind of gives me a peace of mind of some sort. When we were in Yokohama, I saw this double deck-ish kind of train compartment and it was my first time seeing one so I was like, what the heck is this? And Bry explained that it is a GREEN CAR and it is where passengers can somehow ride (for a cost) to avoid the hassle of standing and/or crowded trip. I initially thought it's only for airports and stuff. As a rule, you have to tap your SUICA CARD right  away or else the attendant would have to ask you to pay in cash. What happened to us is that we didn't have a loaded card so cash it was. The fee actually depends on your destination and I remember ours was like 1000 yen plus each so yeah it`s kind of pricey but I can imagine how convenient this gimmick would be for late commuters or like PWD. The smell of poultry. I haven`t even thought of that when I first exited the station but Bry kind o...
