Shioiri Park will be hosting the Shioiri Waterfront Festival on the 13th of October 2014. See the poster below. Should be a great way for families to spend a day off from work.

Too many symbol files
Just submitted my first Swift application to iTunes Connect. Xcode says it’s successful but after the build is automatically processed by iTunes Connect, I got an email from iTunes Connect saying I have “Too many symbol files”. Here’s the email I got from iTunes Connect. Dear developer, We have discovered one or more issues with…
Joining a Beginner’s Singles Tournament at School
Most schools in Japan do hold singles and/or doubles tournament once every few months. To make it easier for people to join, they also hold separate tournaments for beginners and for advanced players. As you can see from the poster below, they limit the participants from “fresh” to “casual” players, at least based on the…
App Store Reviewer Could Not Confirm IAP to remove iAd
My Message Scrambler App have supported iAd since I released version 2.0, which I released in March 2014. For version 2.3, I was planning to add a feature to permanently remove the iAd using In-App Purchases (IAP). This tutorial from Ray Wenderlich was very useful when I was implementing this, and I would highly recommend…
Sumida Fireworks from Minami-Senju
Not known to many people but Minami-Senju also has great views of the Sumida Fireworks. People flock to the riverside to reserve spots from early in the morning.

Apple Flyover Map of Minami-Senju, Tokyo
Looks like Apple maps already has 3D flyover maps of Tokyo. Not exactly sure when this was added but it’s good to know the city I live in now has this feature. See the picture below of Minami-Senju. It looks like a real picture taken from the sky, except when in the app, you can…
Amazing Race – Davao
During our last trip to the Philippines, we planned for an overnight trip to Davao. We knew it was rushed, but we were determined to accomplish and make the most out of it. Our plan was to take the earliest flight from Manila to Davao on the day one, and then take the last flight from…
The iJeepney
Spotted roaming the streets of the Philippines … the iJeepney! There are three possibilities. As always, you decide. If it were [2], kudos to the driver for having such exquisite tastes. 😀
OEC, Privacy and MTEC
Today, I went to the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo to get the OEC for my wife and myself. This process is straightforward, and is much much preferred than getting my OEC while in the Philippines, as any OFW can confirm. Getting the OEC I arrived there at 9:50 AM, signed my name and phone number at…
Blue Flowers of Ibaraki
While having lunch with friends from the office, one mentioned Hitachi Seaside Park (ひたち海浜公園) and how popular it is during spring time when the flowers are all blue. My wife and I have seen this place before during autumn, but considering how much she loves flowers, I figured it would also be good to take her…
Our Creators And Our Creations
What if… we were created by our creators in their own image and likeness, just as we create characters in our computer games, in our own image and likeness? The phrase “as above, so below” makes a lot more sense if we think in this way. This kind of thinking made me rethink how I…
