The TARDIS has landed at the Terraces – A visit at the Filbar’s Ayala Fairview Terraces Branch

“If you want a quick snap or “Selfie” with a life-sized TARDIS, then you gotta drop by at this Filbar’s Outlet!”

It is obvious (if you track back with my previous posts) that I am a Whovian and being one, what I would love to see and take pictures with are things that are related to the Doctor Who universe. On top of that list of course, is having a snap with a TARDIS replica, a BIG one specifically. Unfortunately, some of those can only be found when there are conventions of sorts and finding one is even a hit or miss on those conventions, so as bad as it may sound, it is basically hard to find one, let alone have a picture taken with one..

Well, not anymore, take a look at this picture below...

#WutTheEff - Six Words of Cat-astrophe: "Hello Kitty is not a Cat"

"with just six words...Aah!! Childhood Ruined!"

Hindi ako pusa...Wow, MALI!

When the character "Hello Kitty" is mentioned, what first comes to your mind? I am sure, this image pops out, first and foremost, outta your head:

 

Yep, Hello Kitty it is! A fictional character created by the Japanese Company, Sanrio, and designed by Yuko Shimizu. This character, since its inception in 1974, has been a global marketing phenomenon that spawned a lot of products that includes school supplies, fashion accessories, toys, apparel, and even high-end consumer products. It even had several TV series produced and has become a definite staple of Japanese popular culture.

Hello Kitty is indeed popular as I have known a lot of people that are enamored with this character and it ranges from all ages; from toddlers to even grown-up women. I have relatives, friends, and colleagues  alike who are obviously fans of this cute character. They cannot be at fault though; with the image of a Japanese Bobtail CAT with a red bow designed in a cute Chibi style, who can blame them.

...hold on, did I say "CAT?"

BABYMETAL - When Daughter's Poppy Tunes meets Daddy's Heavy Metal Music

"Babymetal's music is like fusing Sake with Sweet Bubblegum"

Can you imagine this: The Poppy Bubblegum J-Pop Idol Music fusing with Hard-Hitting Heavy Metal Music? Sounds impossible, right?...Wrong! 

As of late, three teenage Japanese girls are taking on the music scene by giving a unique spin to Heavy Metal Music - fusing it with Japanese Teen Pop. Now, that is one hell of a take on one established genre don’t you think? This group’s name is “Babymetal.”

As "Kawaii" as this trio look, they definitely Rock!
