Tokyo Subway Ticket Pass – Travel Cheap

Going around Tokyo can be expensive. Train tickets can cost from around 200-400 JPY for a one-way trip (depending on your destination), and for tourists who are basically commuting the entire day, this can easily go up to 1,000 JPY a day.

Tokyo in 4 Days – Itinerary

Tokyo is for me, what New York is for others. It’s my ideal city! There’s so many things to do, that you can’t possibly fit it all in a month! But, given the circumstances of a working adult, where you can’t really leave work that long, we have to settle with shorter trips. I am […]

Roses are red, horses are too…

Valentines Day. The day when a clear line is drawn between people who are single and those who are taken.  Social media is infested with photos of flowers, chocolates and dinner dates. But, that’s not the only way to celebrate Valentines. While some of us have dates, some of us get drunk. After 6 1-liter bottles […]

Ohayou to you, Oyasumi to me

Ohayou in Japanese means Good Morning, while Oyasumi means Good Night. This is my tagline because my body clock is so messed up that I go to sleep when most people are already getting up from their beds. The word play just fits! I wish I could do something about my body clock. I don’t want to […]

Apocalypse Child

I am not “yet” a big fan of Filipino movies.  I normally skip out on the mushy Filipino rom-coms produced by high-budget production companies like Star Cinema.  But, I do know that there is much more potential and talent in the indie scene. That’s where they win awards internationally – but oddly, these are almost […]

#KPOP – All For You – Versions

“All for You” is known to many international KPOP fans as the soundtrack of Reply 1997, what was then a successful breakthrough drama concept. The drama was so successful that it was followed by 2 more installments (Reply 1994 and Reply 1988). For most of us KPOP fans outside Korea, we are used to this version […]
