Rainy Days

Random rainy day shots:







Been getting a lot of rain of late, in moderation is fine, but days on end with rain is unbearable.

Current thoughts (planning my next trip):

Madrid (+Segovia/+Toledo)- Sevilla - Rome - Florence;
Madrid - Berlin - Rome (+Florence?);
Madrid (+Segovia/+Toledo)- Berlin - Milan;
Madrid - Berlin - Milan - Rome;
Rome (+florence) - Madrid (++).

How to go about this....n_n; Some have very limited flight selection.. would prefer to fly in the morning....(which is why I squeezed Berlin in (24&25), but would only get 2 days max and I wouldn't want that.>_<). Hmm, also need to have more days in Spain since they will be issuing my Schengen....

Ferris Wheel at Night

Was out for dinner and passed by this area with a huge ferris wheel.



The lights change every so often... the rainbow-themed one matches Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge, you think? XD

Food Review :: C2 - Classic Cuisine

Last night's dinner:



They have these on the ceiling, which I like.



Over there is their kitchen,



And here comes our food!

This one here is called a Walastik. It is primarily strips of beef, some pork, etc, in sweet sauce. It is served with Onion rings and some veg on the side.



Tasted marvelous.

-

Also had some Laing, which consisted of vegetables, in coconut sauce. It's a spicy one, this dish. But that makes it even better!



-

Ordered soup as well, this one is called Sinigang na Bangus, it's a saltyXsour soup (sometimes spicy too, but not all). Normally you'd have a choice of Pork, or Milkfish (locally referred to as Bangus).



-

The best thing to go with these, is Garlic Rice.



It boosts one's appetite a whole lot.. I think so anyway.



-

It's a pretty nice quiet little place to have dinner. Well, not very cozy when it's packed, but food is great.

The moon last night. This is my first moon shot taken with the Nikon D90!

Photography: Dusk and the Moonlit Night

Skies from 2011/05/10:

Beautiful play of colours.



[left] and [right] images were shot seconds apart. :D

Bought this last week:



It's been ages since I last had Andes choc. This still is my favourite flavour! :D



It's this small, 28 pieces in a box.

A little more expensive than Meiji's Meltykiss.


But the consistency of their chocs are pretty different, so I can't really compare.

More moon photos from me this week. :D

2011/05/14 Saturday:



[one more moon photo coming up at the end of this post!]

Stocked up on some coffee Saturday evening..



I was drinking this yesterday afternoon:



It's the second time I drank something from this brand, Sangaria.

Last time I had Ichigo au Lait [イチゴオレ] = Strawberry Milk. It was lovely!

So this time I tried their coffee, they have loads of different blends too.



It had a good smell, the taste was to my liking. [Definitely better than the Suntory Boss I had last time!:D]

I will definitely buy again.:P

~

So, here are more unnecessary things I chanced upon:



Yes, it's duct tape!:D What I'd do with it, I do not know. I like the colour. I think I will use it to patch up some stuff in my room, or seal boxes.

..

And this, can you guess what it is?



It's a heavy duty adhesive thingy...



Mounting tape, it says.

I love Scotch products.O_O



Like it says, no more nails! :D

Oh, and what's good about it is you can use it outdoors, rainproof and all.>_<" ~ My friends know how crazy I can be about paper thingies I keep and handouts.

This is what I do on weeekends.

Ever since I learned how to bookbind I have been binding everything! And most of them have survived the worst flips and falls.

I have been binding since .. as long as I can remember! :P

It keeps my stuff neat. [These are some of the German language exercises I got recently.]

It takes about half a day for the spine to harden and dry (depending on the weather). Here it is drying.:D

..

I also found a book on 関西弁　recently. I love love Kansai.:D 関西弁のアックセント可愛いだと思う、大好きや。



Haha, my normal japanese isn't even that good yet and I'm jumping to another form.

I should probably keep this for later. :D

~

I should stop buying things I don't need! T_T



Mini speakers. They were cute so I bought them!



My psp doesn't actually need them because it already comes with its own built-in speakers.



Lol, but my old Apacer MP3 Player probably does. :P

The sound that comes out is not very loud though, it's meant for your own ear I guess.

~

I watched the sunset yesterday. It was beautiful.

Yesterday was exceptional. いい天気や。

I love how warm this looks:



..the calm blue skies mixing in with the setting sun's fiery colour.



..Can you imagine India in this photo?



..Such a beautiful colour. It looks like a lake, with mountains in the background.



It's actually the sky!

~

As promised, here's the moon shot from yesterday evening.



Looks creepy.. somewhat. But I love this shot and how the moon silhouettes the branches.

Can you see how the moon has changed in just one day? ;P

~

Until then.:D

Moon. Polka-dotted Slippers. Food.

Took these photos of the moon (collected from over a couple weeks back)

I love the colour of the sky and the moon seen over one of the buildings.



This was taken 2 weeks after the previous one,



Noise is natural. :)


~


When I'm feeling lazy to make any decent food..





It also comes with this free pack of... soup!



..and it does taste exactly like real soup.:D Pretty cool.

~

I have not touched my japanese textbook for 3-weeks now. (Yipes)

This is a picture I took when I was last studying, and with a pack of horlicks.



I love horlicks, especially these ones.:D

~

Earplugs I got last time (from one of my previous posts). This is an older photo, from when I first got it.




~


What I have been drinking while I blog lately. :)



Oh yes it's Qoo!! :D This one's from Qoo-HK, it's soymilk.



...I have more where these came from.:D




~

Bought these polka-dotted pink slippers recently. Cute. :)



And some tape.



I quite like the doughnut shaped dispenser.:) Plus it came in super cool gummy colours. I picked this wave of breezy blue.

~

I wish someone would look at me with a twinkle in their eye too~ [What I said after watching the Royal Wedding thing on the telly]. If I'm not mesmerized much by the grandeur of it all, I have downloaded and listened to UK podcasts on the RW.


Oh~~ Which reminds me, how I miss watching Downton Abbey.:) I think it comes back around June, was pretty disappointed with season one ending at episode seven. I wish they dragged the series longer.xD

~

Anyway, I'm off to sleep! :) Guten Nacht, everyone. I have been looking through my German textbook lately.xD ... and realized how hard a time I had with memorizing the spelling and uber long words.

This post was meant for 29th April, but have had problems with publishing entries. Gawd, I hate IE9 and its compatibility issues... but obviously that's all fixed now. Thanks to the google team and their quick response~ xD
