It’s been a few years since I’ve last worn a good wrist watch. Good for me, means that it must be one of those Nautica watches or Swatch watches. But I have priorities (lots of those), so I have to put off buying my dream watch until the next year or so. The last decent one I had was a gift from my father but it’s now broken. I still have it and for its sentimental value, I want to keep wearing it. I intend to have it fixed when I have the chance to go home to the Philippines.
The watch I’m wearing now? It’s just a cheap one, it costs about US$20 only. But I like it because it’s cute and there’s a tiny beetle at the tip of the second hand. The original strap snapped so I bought a 100-yen (US$1) strap to replace it. Believe it or not, the 100-yen replacement held on longer than the original one and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna serve me for a little bit longer.
I love looking at pictures of fully-furnished houses and I often day-dream of living in houses such as those. So, if money’s not an issue, how do you want your bedroom to look like?
If I live in the city, it would really be nice to live in a high-rise condominium building, so that I could have a room overlooking the city. My flat should be at least in the 40th floor. Is it just me, or does a city night view really help relieve stress? I find the sound of the distant traffic really soothing. The room should be carpeted and the walls should be painted white. I should have a walk-in closet and a huge comfortable bed (no more futons!). I’m no longer into computer games so I’m OK with a laptop but I want it to be a Sony Vaio ;). A very good audio player should be inside, too. Above all, I should have a home theater! And it won’t feel like a theater without a very comfortable theater seating.
This is the best photo that I could find that closely resembles what I have in mind. Behold… my dream room:
I love theme parks! I just don’t like getting in those roller coaster rides. I could take on the challenge, though. I just love to walk around the park and to take pictures. My visit won’t be complete without visiting the souvenir shops. Above all, I love fireworks display! I’ve been to Disney Land and Disney Sea in Tokyo but during those two visits, I wasn’t able see the fireworks. That’s one of the reasons why I want to go there again. And staying in one of those Disney resort hotels would be a real blast! The Universal Studio Japan is just a few stations away from my place but I haven’t been there yet. I’ll definitely visit it before I leave Osaka in the future. I wish I could avail that 1-year pass in January.
I love theme parks, so experiencing Orlando vacations is on my “things to do before I die” list. The largest recreational resort in the world, Walt Disney World Resort, the Universal Orlando Resort and other very interesting and huge attractions are in there! I wish Florida was just a few hours away from Osaka, by train.
My friend, Fortuitous Faery of Writings on the Wall, invited me to join PostCrossing, sort of a community where you can send and receive postcards to and from other members from random places in the world. I’ve been a member for more than 2 months and so far, I’ve sent 10 postcards and received 10.
I received one from the US and the sender talked about her place, Outer Banks. The name is very catchy, the postcard was so lovely, so I did my homework and searched through the internet more about it. Outer Banks of North Carolina is referred to by USA Today® as a world-class backyard destination, and a classic, affordable U.S. vacation. If you love white sand beaches, lighthouses, aquariums, museums, wildlife, and cultural sites, then Outer Banks is one of the best places you have to visit. If I were given a chance to travel to the US, I’d definitely drop by North Carolina.
Some friends were craving for sushi (I have always been crazy about sushi) so I tagged along. There’s no cheap sushi restaurant near our apartment so we had to go to Awaji and it took us about 20 minutes by bicycle to get there.
The sushi comes around on a conveyor belt type counter so be sure to watch out for your favorites and grab them immediately when they pass by your table. Of course, you could place an order but I’d rather wait than stress myself over trying to understand the waitress. And the sushi names were written mostly in Kanji (Chinese characters)!
I wish I could dance like Demi Sorono. She joined the “So You Think You Can Dance” in Australia, and currently one of the final four contestants. Watching American Idol or Pinoy Idol makes me want to become a singer, and watching this video makes me wish I were a dancer!
I think I already wrote something about The Vineyard Man. I like Yoon Eun Hye in The Princess Hours so I searched for her other dramas and came across The Vineyard Man. Her drama, The Coffee Prince was also OK but my favorite is the Vineyard Man. The story is predictable but I guess part of the reason why I love this drama is this song:
