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 ...

2NE1's MAMA 2015 Appearance

Image
Right after CL's surprising but yet kinda astonishing performance at MAMA 2015, this happened.  I've always liked 2NE1 as a whole. But they're getting older and that there are things that they've done better when they were a lot younger. They're still good though. Anyways, a lot of things have changed. I'm mainly talking about Park Bom's voice. Her vocal range which I used to adore seems like it's gone. I don't know what caused it. It may be drugs, her newest nose, whatsoever. All other members, still the same but you know at the same time different. Except probably Dara. Does she ever age? No. Not at all. Also her abs! #fitnessgoals.   CL though is killing it. She's maturing and just keeps getting better and better. I don't really like CL all that much but at the same time I think she's slowly becoming my favorite. She's just so talented. Anyways changes wise, the same goes for Minzy. I mean, of course there will be discussions about...

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...

Mockingjay Part 2 Movie Review

Image
As a huge huge fan of the trilogy, I was really really excited for this movie. You know I ranted about how last year, Mockingjay Part 1 was shown 8 months after its original release and how I was able to download it in HD 5 months before they even release it here but this time, no. Japan is catching up! Release date is surprisingly the same as everywhere else. Take that, world! ;) Apparently we'll burn with ya. If you know what I mean.  Anyways. Epic. I know I predicted this last movie as my fave but definitely not my favorite among the bunch but you know, it's not that bad either. I guess it's just not as action-packed as the book. I actually expected a lot more from it. But maybe that's just me. It's always just me anyways. I also expected they give more justice to Prim's death because you know, in the book, that really broke my heart. Because you know, I have little duckling sisters too. And in the movie, meh. Didn't have an impact. But don't get me w...

My New Bike

Image
I actually thought of buying a new bike ever since my lock got broken. But I was like, I can live with a broken lock. And then less than a month ago, I got a flat tire. I have two options by then. First, I get myself a new tire and still live with a broken lock. Second, I buy myself a new bike and I don't get to deal with a broken lock anymore. Who wouldn't choose the later, right? A new tire would cost probably like 1/3 the price of my previous bike anyways so yeah. No regrets!  Bry and I went to this place called Daiwa Cycle nearby and the plan was to actually go to Mega Don Quijote to buy this stuff because we both haven't been there yet but then Bry saw the cycle shop and so we stopped and basically bought the bike because you know, I'm not really picky with my bike. I was just like, this time I should have something that I like the color of. And they did have a wide variety of colors! I'm impressed. And it's relatively cheap!  This bike is classified red by...

Exploring Tokyo with Kim

Image
I was like 30 minutes late our call time because I messed up. I literally carefully calculated the time needed for me to get to my destination on time but this is what happened. When I transfered train station, I fell asleep sort of and I knew my station would just be like 3 stops away but yeah when I came to my senses, I was like, OMG NO! Then I hurried to get down from the station, located the exit, and yeah I was wrong. Because my station is actually supposed to be the next station from where I went down. Then I have to wait for like, kinda long right? And so it goes. I kinda feel sorry for them. They waited for a long time under the sun.  Our first stop is Rikugi-en. It's kind of odd that my friend wanted to see gardens and parks here in Japan. Contrary to what I think most people want to see here like lights, night life, Disney, and everything. Her reason being is that there's no such thing in the Philippines. I agree! But Disney though. Although they went to Universal in ...
