Tidbits in Bullets 7/52 and 8/52

Skipping a week to update happened sooner than I thought it would. :/

Highlights from the past two weeks

• I watched Deadpool twice! Two weekends ago, I viewed it with my sister and her partner from work. Just last weekend, I watched it again with my sister but this time our brother tagged along. We try to make it a point to watch superhero movies together, and we weren't going to make Deadpool an exception. It's a buttload of fun, as my sister puts it in her review written for What's A Geek!


• Valentine's Day lunch was spent with the extended family to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary of an aunt and uncle. Food!!! And I also got to buy my luggage for our Japan trip in less than 2 months!


• Last week was a busy time for me because apart from my normal workload, someone decided to acquire my itinerary services on short notice. (I have a sideline where I organize bespoke travel itineraries.) I should be happy because it brought me extra cash, but since I didn't have a lot of time to work on it also cost me precious hours of sleep.


• On the Arashi front, fans subscribing to J-Web were regaled with Sakurai Sho's entry highlighting some of his experiences in the Philippines. To this, we say: Sho, you sheltered, sheltered boy. You need to go to the convenience store more often.


• Le Coeur De France closed for good last February 19th. :'( My sister and I made sure to buy whatever we wanted and could afford during their last week as a way of thanking them for all the good memories we associate with their hot chocolate and bite-sized cookies. It still makes me sad that I won't get to see their shops anymore.


• I've started preparing the necessary documents for our Japan visa application! With less than 2 months before our trip, I'm just praying we do get that visa.

This week, I'm looking forward to...

• submitting our Japan visa requirements to the travel agency! There's still a few we need to obtain, but here's to hoping we get them before Thursday.


• buying a new phone! My phone's been acting up (it's been with the family for around 3 years, after all) so I need a new one before our trip so that it won't break down on me. Thankfully there's a holiday coming up on Thursday so I'll be able to make time to purchase one.


• possibly going to the Great British Festival with my sister! My friend and I went last year and simply walking around the booths and eating British fare street-vendor style was fun!
