Takarajima Yakiniku Buffet Review

Image
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...

Nagahama Ramen Review

Image
There are quite a lot of ramen places in Japan. It's Japan so it's given that all their ramen places are better than everywhere else in the world. However, the competition is still up in Japan.  This ramen place is one competitive player. I've learned about this place thru a co-worker and hella thankful they did tell me about this. Speaking of competition, they do have a challenge here where you can win a shirt and a place where you can brag on the wall. The challenge is you have to finish 7 servings of noodles. I don't know if I can do it (no) but it's not impossible because they don't have much place left on their walls. Go Bry! ;)  Ramen places here in Japan especially in the city are mostly modernized but this one is like still semi-vintage. And for some reason, I still like this kind of set-up where you still see the workers manually doing their thing. My Ramen Buddy Ramen buddy who's always craving for this ramen. Even joked that he'd go alone when...

Tokyo Tower is Love

Image
  We finally did it. We went to Tokyo Tower because I told Bry that it's been ages since I last went so after we watched the Hunger Games, we went to TT. For some reason, I know I have been here but I definitely have no memory of it whatsoever.  I don't know if it's like an everyday thing but when we went, they were having this food bazaar that we fully enjoyed.  Beautiful. I told Bry that if I see The Eiffel Tower I might cry.  We weren't able to take pictures of all the food so bare with me. What I'm eating here is grilled saba which was awesome! I think it's like 350/piece and like 1000/3 pieces but the man selling was kind enough to give us 2 each for the price of one. Awesome sauce. We also had this dashi udon which was nice because it was chilly that day. They come with daicon sushi which we survived to eat. Not really our cup of tea. I had to force Bry to eat his sushi. We also had karaage, grilled chicken, and taiyaki. So as you may know, we had a full s...

Cosmo World Yokohama

Image
I don't remember ever going to this place to ride. Because you know, I've always been alone going here so I was just like always looking around and observing people and how happy they are and stuff. All my trips here alone were fulfilling but there's just something about having someone with you. I actually thought of riding alone but I was like always delaying it to the point when there will be no time left and stuff.  Also, this day, I kind of noticed a lot of colors other than green. Always nice. I went with Bryan and it was kind of a quick visit since I had to go to work after. Bummer. But in fairness, we were able to ride our picks. It was awesome. Cosmo Clock  The Cosmo Clock is probably the center of the park. A ride would show you the whole city. And if lucky, you might even have a glimpse of Mt.Fuji. They do have an interactive screen that you can use and it'll show you things you might want to know.  Vanish Coaster They also have a huge roller coaster which is ...

Is Duterte the One?

Image
irrelevant picture frame  A few years ago, I thought to myself, what if si Mayor Duterte ang presidente ng Pilipinas? Ang ayos-ayos siguro. Just imagine Davao being the 9th safest city in the world. But then again I thought to myself, why can't we all just be like the Davaoeños instead? What is it that they have that we don't? DISCIPLINE is one but come to think of it. We're not inferior to them. The problem is that most of us if not all are so used to depending the sake of our country to our leaders while we wait for their promised miracle to happen. If we continue to act like how we are acting right now and even in the past decades, I'm sorry. But yes, I'm afraid we're all just waiting in vain. Tapos sasabihin na sila sa Davao may kinakatakutan. Hindi ganun yun e. It might be but it's not always the case. Ang problema sa madami sa atin e kinakaya-kaya nalang natin yung sistema. Hindi tayo marunong makipag cooperate.  I don't know who can really fix the...

Tokyo Disney Sea 2015

Image
First time at Disney Sea! I haven't been to Universal either but I'm assuming that the Earth something something looks quite similar to this. Or at least we thought. Haha For some reason, when I go to parks and stuff, it's always Halloween. I wonder.  Disney Sea gives me a European village vibe for some reason. Haven't been to Europe either so I don't know why I'm saying that. Haha Went with Bry to celebrate his Birthday. :) When I was a child, I always wondered what Disney Sea is like but I was always too small for Disney Sea so that gave me the notion that Disney Sea is for adults. Also, when I was kind of a grown-up, my little sisters were too little for it anyways so we didn't really have a chance to go together.  For most part, it is. But that doesn't mean that children wouldn't enjoy their visit or something. There are still rides and places where we felt like we're too old to go into. But that's like only 1 ride so whatever haha.  A li...
