The Sun in my 2016 Orbit

-


If there is something that I really wanted to get over with this year, it'll be the dream to visit Japan.

This trip is more special. I will not enjoy the trip alone but with a bestie.


I see myself wearing colorful floral top, jeans, sneakers and a handy comfortable jacket or shawl and an umbrella.


I would like to see for myself Japan's famous train, search for cherry blossom be in full bloom or not, be amused with Japanese signboards, take a selfie with cosplay artists on streets and enjoy other distinct Japanese attractions.


I would like to savor authentic taste of ramen, soba, udon, karaage, yakiton and maki; I'll also try hot chocolate, ice cream and kashipan.

Let me chill in their cold weather, speak even little Japanese, interact with citizens, get a glimpse of their daily routine, watch a tea ceremony, attend a calligraphy class, experience theater and learn about ninjas, samurai and hear their urban legends as I visit old castles, museums, gardens and sanctuaries.

I would like to enjoy a day in a Japanese apartment, sleep on a futon, drink sake, eat gyudon, watch tv drama or a gag show, sing along familiar Japanese songs and take a look at native Japanese ornaments even utensils.

I would like to experience strolling along tall buildings, cross busy streets safely, and if lucky, I'd like to ride a bike in a park or nearby town. I hope to visit friends who live in Japan too.

I'll visit bookstores and craft shops. Let my hands caress those stacks of manga, Sanrio stationery, anime inspired toys and other souvenirs. I'll drop by Daiso for pasalubong.

I'll be the luckiest girl in the world if I meet Oguri Shun and Takeru Satoh in person .

The oddest but coolest experience would be attending a special occasion wearing traditional Japanese make up and kimono.


The ultimate adventure will be skiing in Hokkaido; I think I am going to save that goal for another visit. I'll bring along my family.

All of these I hope will be captured by my camera and will be treasured forever in my heart.

Hopefully, this will be my last post about nostalgic playlist with foreign artists.I'll go OPM na in my next list. Wahh, I got Bandmaster playlist pa pala :) I guess I have to take it back hahaha. Anyway, here's to show how much I love iDate. I enjoyed this online game though I struggle a lot in eye-hand coordination. This game was my stress reliever from my checking tasks when I was a teacher. I usually spend four hours to half day during weekends and if lucky, I got to play an hour before and after work.Thank God we had a computer shop that time.Amidst the noise of DOTA, RAN, Audition, and Farmville gamers :) I enjoyed hitting those arrows and the space bar fast. Though my character fails to get the top spot most of the time, this game encourages me to start over and practice hehehe... I enjoyed buying clothes for my character using e-coin.Dressing up is super fun.Oh those days, I need ep to give my character a boost. I love seeing the stars on s

I really would love to learn how to play instruments like piano, guitar, drums, violin and clarinet unfortunately, I was not able to master any.My heart is into it but my hands do not follow hahaha. I am happy that through Bandmaster online at least I got to choose the instrument, play in a concert, do shutter battles and dress up like a rock star hahaha. Even if I am on practice mode most of the time or my grade ranges from B to D never an A, I find it super fun. Wahh, my heart flutters every time I hear this Bandmaster theme. My sister can break the keyboard hitting all those combos. Such a genius. I miss seeing those perfect and combo freak comments on the side.Love those days that my sisters and I took turns in playing this game and we even formed a band hahaha. Look at the co

Pinoy TV Shows

What I would like to include in this list are variety shows, gag shows, game shows, reality and talent search shows, documentaries, talk shows, and sitcoms. 1. Gag/ comedy shows If there's one thing that TV must offer, it is laughter. When you turn on the tv, you expect to be entertained, to be informed and the least would be - to be reminded of your worries, of unsolved problems, of heartaches you can't escape. In short, you least expect to feel bad about yourself, your situation. Most of us watch tv for entertainment. We crave to be inspired, to be recharged. Gag shows, parodies, and sketch comedies can wipe out those uncertainties. These kinds of shows provide the opportunity to take a break and let the idea flow just when we are ready to bounce back to reality. a. Bubble Gang At first, I dislike this show since Michael V and Ogie Alcasid were pirated from Tropang Trumpo. Today, I miss the tandem of Michael V and Ogie. They were able to create characters that
