Weathering With You – Full Trailer

Weathering with You (Japanese Title: Tenki no Ko, literally Child of the Weather), is Makoto Shinkai’s 12th film. I loved Kimi No Na Wa, and was lucky to catch in in the cinema – I watched it without any expectations, and only finding out later on that it was from the same guy who made […]

Stand by You

Official HIGE DANdism – Stand by you

I love this song. I’ve been listening to it non-stop since YouTube algorithm brought me to it yesterday. I immediately searched for the band and downloaded all of their songs from Spotify! For today, I wanted to specifically share this specific song, because it’s what introduced me to this great band. If it’s your first […]

2018.10.05 – The Thrill of It All World Tour 2018 Manila

I finally got to see Sam Smith live at the Manila leg of “The Thrill of It All World Tour” at the SM Mall of Asia Arena! I remember regretting not buying tickets for his first concert here three years back. His album “In the Lonely Hour” was our soundtrack when playing mahjong back in […]

Netflix: Bleach (Live Action)

Bleach Live Action is now on Netflix after just being released on the big screen this early this year! I have been waiting for this to be shown in the cinemas here in the Philippines, but I guess Netflix beat SM to it! I have fond memories of watching the anime version of Bleach back […]

2018.09.10 – The Great Passage

Today I finished a book called “The Great Passage” by Shion Miura. I got this book from an Amazon sale a couple of months ago (together with 8 other books by International Authors). The story revolves around the creation of a Japanese dictionary called The Great Passage (because the setting is in Japan), the challenges […]

Run Rabit Run – Makati’s New Watering Hole

Run Rabbit Run looks like a normal house on the outside, but this sign by the red door says that there’s something magical to be found inside. I have been itching to try this out, but I didn’t want to do it alone. This time, Kristi’s visit was the perfect opportunity to finally discover what’s […]

Music Reco: Friday Jam

Let me just leave these songs here because they’re my jam for today. Find No Rome in this video! I have been sleeping on The 1975 but I may have to give them a listen. Aside from this – Troye Sivan’s new album, Bloom is out! I tried to stay away from the pre-released songs […]

2018 1st Half – Top 5 KPOP songs

So, it’s not too late to post this. I haven’t been listening to a lot of Kpop this year. I guess as I grow older, the more biased I become to the artists that I already like. I will do better for the second half, but for the first half of the year, these are […]
