Summer Playlist

Hello there! I wanna share my summer playlist for 2013  to all of you readers! :) Let's start!

1. "Summer Paradise"- Simple Plan ft. Taka from ONE OK ROCK

One of the best collabs I have ever heard. By the way, ONE OK ROCK is a famous Japanese rock band. Though his parts are limited, Taka made the song more lovely. Perfect while on a roadtrip! 

2. "I Would" - Justin Bieber

It's not about what I want, it's all about what you need.

3. "Wherever You Will Go"- Charlene

 I am very sorry The Calling, but I love this more.

4. "Crazy World"- Boys Like Girls

                     Boys Like Girls is back! Yeah! It's a crazy world after all. Joyride!

5. "Hello Hurricane" - Switchfoot

                                    For a love that cannot be silenced by anyone or anything.

6. "Gathering Stories"- Jónsi

                  One of the loveliest songs I have ever heard. A masterpiece, I must say.

7. "Start Of Something Good"- Daughtry

                                       That one step might be the start of something good.

8. "All About Us" - He Is We ft. Owl City

The room's hush hush and now's our moment. <3

9. "Take My Hand" - The Cab

I am a newbie The Cab fan. I can't choose which one to recommend so I would just stick to this song for some good vibes :)

10. "A Drop In The Ocean"- Ron Rope

If you are a The Vampire Diaries fan, this might be familiar. I have known the song not because of the series though. Enjoy!

11. "The Beginning"- One Ok Rock

Rurouni Kenshin? Sounds familiar right? I have never liked a Japanese rock band before, but this band made me like the music.

12. "You Sing"- Gilgu Bonggu

A very good vibes song! I love the intro of the guitar. Every time I hear this song play, I could not help but smile :)

13. "Sleeping To Dream" Live Version - Jason Mraz

This one right here is a live version of the song. I think this one is way beautiful than the original one, but it's Jason Mraz anyway so :)

14. "B.A.B.A.Y"- Yeng Constantino

    Ang dali kaya magsabi ng BABAY. Good vibes song. Good vibes video as well :D

15. "Give Me Your Hand (Best Song Ever)"- The Ready Set

LSS maybe? :) Jordan always has that sexy voice in every song. Haha. This video is great too! Try listening to the acoustic version of this too. 

16. "I Won't Lie" Acoustic Version- Go Radio

Who would not love Jason's voice? Plus the perfect melody and the perfect lyrics. Ah, my feelings <3

17. "Davenport"- Never The Strangers

OPM never dies :)

18. "Rainbow"- David Archuleta

A revival from an OPM band called South Border :) David never fails to give that good vibes I need. His voice is amazing.

19. "Good Life" - One Republic

This song has been one of my favorite ever since 2011. It's been 2 years now. Wow. This never fails to give me good vibes so there :)

20. "Totoro Theme"- Sungha Jung

This cover is a cutie. Well, also the guitarist. Eep! There is no other way to say this, but this is beautiful <3

There you go! Have a happy summer vacay! Don't forget to protect your skin from the summer heat! I hope my playlist gave you a good vibes somehow. Till then! Toodles! :-*

Onion King

Hello there! It's March 17 today! And, it's the onion king's birthday. Haha. JE fangirls would know who I am talking about =))) It's none other than, Tamamori Yuta *^O^*

He is the onion king because the challenge in the variety show where he joined, he needs to live 10000 Yen or about 5, 000 pesos in one month. He thought of buying onions that will be good for one month and stock it in his room. So there. Try watching Ikinari Ougen Dentsu if you want to know more :) 

Tama-chan is a very kakkoi (cool) person for me. Even though I don't know him personally, I can see it by the way he acts, dances and sings. He's also very childish at times. Haha. He belongs to a group named Kis-My-Ft2. It contains 7 members and all of them are cool :) 

Anyways, I love the way Tama-chan acts. Full of emotions and facial expressions. He has received a variety of roles and so he experienced a lot. From being a chef, to a lead vocalist in a band, to being a brother with a deceased sister and to being a medical student. I am pretty sure that everyone admires him for that. <3

So there, I think I have said enough. Otanjoubi Omedetou, Tama-chan :) God bless! 

What Course To Take Up In College?

STILL NOT SURE ON WHAT COURSE TO TAKE? WELL, THIS MIGHT HELP.

College is a big world out there. Something new. Something different. Something hard. Yes, hard. Well, not to threaten you or something. Just saying the reality. Haha. Peace! Anyway, let's go back to the topic. Choosing your course is probably your big struggle right now. I've been there and I know how frustrating and confusing it feels. Knowing that all of your friends have already decided what to take up and you are the only one left to decide. So, as a college student myself, I am here to help you. (hope it helps though) I will not suggest a course or endorse my school or whatnot. Okay, let's start :)

1. Don't be pressured.
Don't be pressured just because all of your friends have already decided which school to go and what course to take. I am pretty sure that they have thought thoroughly about that too. Breathe in. Take your time. Take your time, okay? Not waste your time. 

2. Do a research.
I might sound silly, but yes. I have researched about the course that I am taking up right now. Look for the course that match your interests. For example, you like to act;sing and dance then, why not try Theater Arts? If you have a heart for the children and you like teaching then why not go for Education? If you like numbers and all the computing and stuff, why not consider Accountancy or something related to it? Of course, asking would be a good way too. Try asking your parents or siblings. They might help you come up with a decision.

3. Choose your own.
This one might sound selfish, but yes. Choose your own. Don't choose the course just because everybody said it suits well to you. Choose the course that you will not regret, something that you would still smile at and be happy about at the end of the day. Don't choose the course just because the people who have graduated with that degree has high salaries now. Remember, not everyone after graduation gets a job. And of course, be wise on choosing.

4. Be sure.
Be sure about the course that you have chosen. You would not want to change your course in college and go back to first year college, right? So as early as now, be sure about that course. How do you know if you are already sure about it? Only you will know. (oh, how fun) 

5. Be Ready.
Since you have chosen your own course and are sure about it, then be ready. Be ready to step-up to college. Be ready for overload works and terror professors. Be ready for new friends and enemies. =))) Be ready for the change. BIG CHANGE.  Be ready for the long nights and everything in between.

College is hard , tough rather. It is tough, but it is fun. More of that freedom that you want (well, this one still depends on the school you will be in) Watch out for my next blog about college life if you are still interested. Thank you for reading! God bless :) Let me know if I have helped you in a way. Would appreciate it! :)

KatsuCafe

So, hello there! :) This week, I and my friends (Donut Club) decided to eat at a cafe near our school. It's not the ordinary cafe we all know. It's a Japanese cafe! :) Welcome to KatsuCafe!

The name says it all. The cafe is all about Katsudons! :) Tonkatsu, Tori katsu, etc. They also sell Gyoza, Kani Salad, Kirin beer, etc. As the first-timers ourselves, we ordered the Katsuretsu set :) The katsu set contains miso soup, unlimited Japanese rice, your own creation of Tonkatsu sauce and of course the tonkatsu/tori katsu/ebi furai :) Dozo.

Here is the sauce. First, they will give you this sesame seeds in a bowl. The sauce is already on the table ( the  second picture) there's also chili powder and chili sauce at the side if you prefer your sauce HOT. =)) Just add the sauce to the bowl of sesame seeds then mix! Make sure to grind those sesame seeds for your sauce to be yummier!

And, tadah! Here is my own Tonkatsu sauce :)

The sets that I and my friends ordered were really worth it. The set is 195 pesos. Good isn't it? :) Their service is really good too! The food is of course, incredible! :) The only problem is, the cafe is small to accommodate 20 persons. But above all, this cafe is really worth trying! :) Go visit them sometimes! :)

KatsuCafe is located at 329i Katipunan Ave., cor B. Gonzales, Loyola Heights, 1108 Quezon City, Philippines behind Bo's Coffee. KatsuCafe is open starting 11 AM onwards :) Enjoy!
