Two Cities — 30 April, 2016

Alright, here I was on a Saturday, going out to different places once more. Cyberzone Cosplay Craze at Light Mall Mandaluyong Light Mall, accessible through the Boni MRT Station, is the next destination for the Cyberzone Cosplay Craze — previously, they were in Masinag. Here are some photos from the event. …someone took a 360-degree photo of all the cosplayers as well. I took some behind-the-scenes pictures as well, but while I was doing that, I’m told not to move as it might distort the output. I’m waiting for the output to come this week. I hope it’s not distorted. ...

Lee Hak — 29 April 2016

“For having loved and lost, you are a richer person.” Man, I love that message veiled in the curtains of this restaurant. We are treated to this good place at Pioneer St., Mandaluyong City called Lee Hak Korean Buffet, and I took this opportunity to add more photos for today. I heard that Lee Hak was not a buffet resto from the start, but when they converted to buffet, they are welcomed by a lot of people nearby. In addition, its proximity to Shaw Boulevard, Brgy. Kapitolyo and the Greenfield District (then called EDSA Central) makes it a good catch. ...

Today’s Photos — 29 April 2016

Taking a break from the recently-finished Tourism Lifestyle & Business Expo, here’s the photos that I took in the middle of the night. The one above is at Kapitolyo in Pasig at twilight, where there’s no one around. This one is at the Glorietta Mercato Centrale night market — a half-liempo meal worth Php50, just the right one I want to eat as a treat after being on the field for half a day or so. ...

I saw FLOW, and here’s what we’ve talked about

Hi, everyone. To be honest, I wasn’t able to pick a better title for this post, but let me tell you that yours truly were among the ones who are granted by Otakuzine Anime Magazine to do an interview with Japanese band FLOW during Ozine Fest 2016’s first day. Let’s get to the questions that the media have asked FLOW before they met their fans on this quick post. This is just a quick gist, so don’t expect much. ...

“Batuhan sa BGC” —23 April 2016

There’s this event called “Batuhan ng Camera sa BGC ng mga Cosplayers,” which is actually another cosplay photo shoot with friends, and I placed this on today’s agenda aside from the WSFC Jamboree. Here’s the photos of cosplayers that I took: …and here’s more photos that I took as well — this time, from a behind-the-scenes perspective: Thanks to all of the cosplayers whom I have bonded with — let me know if you want to see your pics so I can send those to you. Also, thanks to Jus (he’s donning the female Yuno Gasai and I believe he’s a guy) for the nightmare fuel — yours are the best shots so far.

World Street Food Congress 2016 Jamboree–23 April 2016

The signs says it — I’ve been to the World Street Food Congress Jamboree at the Bonifacio Global City earlier. It was so hot — thankfully, I was able to get in without a hitch. The first stop — where you can read on what you need to know about the Jamboree This is Chey Sua Carrot Cake from Singapore, priced at Php200. It’s crunchy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. I felt the lack of taste, but the fluffiness of it made me forgive its flaw. ...

Today’s photos — April 22, 2016

I’m up again for another quick post for this week. I’ve taken the headline photo from this hotel called Luxent at Timog Avenue in Quezon City. You are free to think negatively about this, but that is actually a sign for the restroom in the 5th level. …and this is how their lobby looks like. Cool. …and that’s another quick post. Looking forward to see you outside tomorrow as I go take a break from work. See you somewhere, friends.

What I’m watching this Spring 2016

As I take a quick break, let me share you some of the series that I’m watching during commutes in and out of the office. Bakuon! Translation: “No problem,” but really, I read that as “AOTS Spring 2016” This has to be a must-watch anime for bike enthusiasts and people interested in owning a motorcycles, period, hands down. Also, Reina Ueda, Nao Touyama and Yumi Uchiyama are there. Hane’s (Ueda) cute. ...

Ozine Fest 2016–16 April, 2016

I was thinking of a photo to highlight this post, and I picked this one. The runner-up was this: Negative comments aside, I was able to enjoy the first day of Ozine Fest 2016 yesterday. Why enjoy, when you have all of these terrible matters out of the blue? Simple: I went there to hang out with friends, and not to write a report about it. Well, I’m considering this as a report, but nah, I’m going to enjoy the day with my friends. ...

Santouka’s Miso Ramen

During FLOW’s concert at Ozine Fest 2016, I hanged out with my friends and then we went to Ramen Santouka at the Veranda of the nearby Mall of Asia. Santouka started with lack of satisfaction. Hitoshi Hatanaka and his family got a quick meal in a ramen shop, and he was not satisfied with the taste of the ramen — and considering that they watched a series called Tanpopo (which features a ramen resto), he got inspired to make his own ramen that he can proudly serve to his family and opened shop in Hokkaido in March 1988. ...
