It’s been a busy Saturday once more as I went to three cities today. My objective was supposed to be: To buy the same pair of shoes that I got in Recto, To visit the ToyCon Launchpad at the UP Town Center, To check out the Food Fair at the Megatrade Hall in Mandaluyong, To promote the PMA Summer Expo on DZME 1530kHz AM studios in Ortigas, To check out Arkadymac’s 3rd Anniversary in Makati. So far, I’ve only done three out of five tasks over the span of 13 hours. ...
Just before the month of January ends, I was invited to two activities in one day. Kendo I was able to join a Kendo practice for two hours. My impression of Kendo came from its depiction in Naoki Hanzawa and in various anime series, so it will be the first time that I am going to do a practice session for real. As a beginner, I have realized that my hand and foot movements are out of sync, much like my life nowadays. Koji Igarashi-sensei of the Iga Kendo Club (which holds the session) told me that Kendo needs a big (loud) voice, and I find it a challenge as I have a deep voice. ...
Today, I went to a friend’s place to check out his secret base, which eventually led to a trip to the Mall of Asia complex to meet with other comrades (who are also going to witness ONE OK ROCK’s first concert in the country). Here are some of the photos that I took. The friend I was referring to is BossMac from Back2Gaming. Long story. Manila Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City ...
I was lucky enough to get a snapshot of the BGC’s biggest art installations. Take note that this was taken sideways. I went to the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig to check out the surroundings and take part in a cosplay photoshoot. Actually, I wasn’t supposed to talk about cosplay here, but I have posted some cosplay photos last year; so why not do it again? Prior to entering the BGC, I got to see Buting in Makati City. Most of you know that the BGC is in the border of Makati and Taguig. (Both cities were fighting for its possession in 2013 because of tax revenue — but this issue has settled down) ...
*…*because “ba-dump, ba-dump.” It is the first time that I checked out the Tokyo-Manila Jazz and Arts Festival at Greenbelt 5 in Makati. It was their final night, and they had to let the mass at the chapel beside them to finish. Nevertheless, I stayed — to hell with the closing time of the train, to hell with the late night commute on the bus; this is my first time to hear jazz in person. There are just some things that you like that fell on the same night — Japanese culture and Jazz — and as a faint fan, I won’t let this pass. ...
