On December 2, I set up for a mission… to get me a Nintendo Wii on Release Day in Japan. I knew it wouldn’t be easy but I planned for it anyways. Option 1: Yodobashi in Akihabara At 5:15 AM, I took the first Hibiya line subway from Kamiyacho to Akihabara hoping to be one…
Experiencing the Sony Timer
Yesterday, I got to experience the fabled Sony Timer first hand. My Sony Digital Camera (Cyber-shot T1) just stopped taking normal pictures. At first, I thought it was just the person taking the picture not knowing how to use the camera. Then I started taking pictures myself and it still wasn’t good. So, I thought…

Philippine Fiesta in Tokyo
For those in Tokyo, something to be excited about… This weekend (November 11-12), there seems to be a big Filipino Fiesta in Hibiya Park, Tokyo. Expected to be there are Cesar Montano, Sunshine Cruz, Rachel Alejandro, Mitch Valdez, Side A, among others. When in the Philippines, these events (except maybe a Side A concert. hehe.)…
Good Days and Bad Days
On a good day, I would go to the convenience store and the clerk would press 20. On a bad day, I would go to the convenience store and the clerk would press 30. To those in Japan, go figure. Hehe.
My Black Bed
I’ve been sleeping on the floor/futon for too long so last week, I decided to get me a bed. It came today. Here it is. Black pillows… black bed cover… black bed… black everything. I love black.
Kainan with Yoko Shimada
Guess who I saw at a Filipino Restaurant in Roppongi (Kainan) today? Yoko Shimada (島田楊子)! Doesn’t ring a bell? Don’t worry, I didn’t even know she was a celebrity until she left and my Japanese friend asked me if I knew who she was. Even after we got her name, it didn’t ring any bells…

Just in case you miss me so much and are in dire need of seeing my pictures, this is where you go. This is where I upload all my pictures now. http://picasaweb.google.com/eipangan Picture perfect.
Lipids and Hyperlipidemia
I am sick. Just got the results of my most recent medical exam and for the first time in my six year history of medical exams, I’ve been diagnosed to be suffering from what they call “hyperlipidemia“. What does it mean? It just means I have too much fat in my blood. Not that I’m…
Oh Tokyo! My Tokyo!
Just to show you how much my life has changed after moving to Tokyo, let me just add comments to my list of things I like about Kagoshima in another blog. Disclaimer: This is just based on 5 weeks of living in Tokyo and may change the longer I stay here. Kagoshima: If you draw…
It’s Moving Time
I will be flying to Tokyo on the 29th and have one week to prepare. I need to do a lot of things and just hope one week is enough. First, I need to sell my car. I am moving to an apartment that charges something like 50,000 yen (about 23,000 pesos) for parking space…
Midnight Black Account
I just sent my application for a Shinsei Bank account and I must say, the hardest part in filling up the application form was choosing the color of the bank card. They have 32 colors including Big Sky, Orange Juice and Cherry Blossom. I ended up choosing Midnight, because I know It’s as close as…
