    711 tonkotsu and miso ramen bowls philippines review
    (This is not a sponsored post, I'm not doing sponsorships for now and focusing on just documenting things I love~ enjoy a sponsor-free post!)

    Oh, shit! At last, they are serving Miso and Tonkotsu Ramen Bowls at our local 7-11 Stores and they even added that this ramen is best paired with a seasoned boiled egg. Ramen bowls are offered at P99.00 each and per egg is at P35 each.

    Once we finally got the chance to get one (definitely made sure it will rain! because ramen are best enjoyed during cold weather), I had prepared my kimono and head to 7-11 to pick up the bowls. 

    We went after lunchtime and in an instant, we knew what was selling like hotcakes - there was only one Tonkotsu Ramen left on the shelf!

    oooh, Okay. I see what's going here. There were so many stacks of Miso Ramen left, but we came there to try them both so we picked them up together with the hard-boiled egg.

    The packaging:

    Since we were picking up other groceries after this, we left these bowls to be picked up at a later time. Some of the broth spilled while we walked home. At home when we were opening it up, I had my partner open it for me, why? The lids seemed too soft to lift up, like the whole bowl will spill! 

    My partner wished that the bottom bowl would be a bit sturdier so that when you open the lid, the bottom won't come with it.

    THE AWARD FOR AROMA GOES TO:

    The moment we opened it, the Aroma of both Ramen seeped into my nostrils and I had mixed reactions. The miso one definitely had that aroma of "preserved", much like the strong aroma from Korean soybean paste, I'm sorry but it was a downer for me. But what caught my attention was the creamy colored bowl with a garlic-aroma and I can really discern the pork broth from it, it was so attractive to me that I can't help but pick it up.

    I've taken one, two, and continuous sip to the bowl and I could not stop, like when Soma does this to his clients, gladly it didn't tear off my Kimono because I wasn't wearing anything underneath, haha.

    The pork was so soft, I didn't need to bite into it, and the rich creamy taste makes it so addicting that I feel really hungry after I finished the bowl. I did not even notice, maybe due to my hunger, I finished the whole bowl. 

    Noodles are springy and slim, the servings seemed fair to me. It had a Naruto and seaweed side dish which are both soft and gives a touch of Asian and truly fun addition to the meal.

    I had the seasoned boiled egg on the sides and I think it tastes fine. It was cold since it wasn't reheated, but it was cooked just right, the color is and texture are both agreeable. 

    My partner mentioned that Miso Ramen Bowl did taste like "Miso" for him, I did have a taste too but it really wasn't to my liking. 

    After this meal, we had other noodles because we were still hungry and felt the servings were not enough.

    Overall, the shelves already demonstrated which one holds the strongest contender and I think I couldn't agree more that when I see another one of that bowl of Ramen, I will, for sure, pick it up in an instant before it runs out.

    Which one of them was your winner, guys?

    anime sandwich

    Lately, we had some cravings for fries and sandwiches. We immediately giggled remembering the fries Saitama had in the family restaurant ~ and the sandwiches prepared during the card game in Izakaya Nobu.

    Bread, onion, burger patty pork, cheese, american maple leaf crisscut fries
    The Ingredients

    Ground Pork
    Lettuce
    Cheese
    Onion
    Loaf Bread
    Mayonnaise of choice
    anime sandwich

    The custom in Japan is to cut the edges of the sandwiches. In our case, however we did not since we like eating that part too.

    Japanese sandwiches

    I've initially cut it triangular but I think just cutting it in half is already good choice and they stand up quite nicely to fit the plate.

    Clubhouse sandwiches had a history being served to those that would like to grab a bite while playing cards. A historical finger-licking experience, I think. For me, this is what Japan has excelled to make. The perfect sandwich.

    I wouldn't miss the American Maple Leaf Crisscut Fries we also bought to complete the set-up!
    Damn, it so delicious and nutritious at the same time, it feels sinful!

    I wonder, What should we cook next?

    When we were walking around our neighborhood, we saw homegrown pumpkins being sold. They're all grown cute, so we bought several. I think we bought too many that I feel we could consume!


    Moving on, we had a pumpkin feast and our meals consisted of pumpkins! Pumpkin soup, pumpkin side dish, fried pumpkin... it feels like we're drowning pumpkins! I felt that excitement of Halloween going near but I remembered that we're all quarantined, so yeah. There might be no cosplay trick or tricking in our neighborhood. It feels sad, but. I got the perfect idea to enjoy it! Maybe I'll post it if I can.. See you soon.

     chihuahua long coat


    My small peaceful days start with her.
    Her big googly eyes widely staring as she tries to wake me up.
    She knows when its time to wake up. 
    She would do her best to make sure I get to wake up on time.


    It might not look like it, but even before the word "Quarantine" came into trend, I was already in quarantine at home and doing work online, or even before when I was still in high school back 2002. I'll just watch anime most times.

    The technology is so much better than it was before and I never ran out of things to do or take my interest in. 

    When she came, I never really thought that I could enjoy my Hikikomori life, even more, ~ She is so adorable that I feel I don't deserve her sometimes. 

    I am enthralled at how fast she picks up her training lessons, I think maybe it's because I make it look more like a fun and exciting game rather than making it look more of a training, but still, she gets a new lesson in a few minutes.


    She's the type who couldn't handle too much excitement, especially when she discovers something new, she goes gaga over it and couldn't handle her bladder. I even remember how much she stared at the rain when she first saw it. Most times she is mistaken as a cat, I wouldn't attest that her companions were cats before we had her. 




    When there is so much tension in the air, it's like she can understand. She would draw attention to her and do her cute moves. In an instant, my face frown becomes a smile and my heart feels light. At one time, I was on real stress and it resulted in terrible gastritis again. She stood by me and check all the time, although she does seem to be confused, I can see her worried reactions and watched me like a hawk until I got better. 

    With all these wonderful things she has given to me, she only wants a tummy rub. oh, she's such a darling. I really wish I could have given her more. Before COVID, we had planned to go on a trip and I was going to take her with me, but the times have changed. Yet, our minute, hour, or second we spend on each other is far precious already, and going on a trip with her will be a great adventure for both of us. Maybe, we'll do that at the right time.

    For now, we build a lot of memories together.

    scp foundation wallpaper desktop

     


    It's that creative time of the year when I would update my desktop wallpapers and Android phone/ tablet and give them the love they deserve.

    For my Samsung tablet above I chose something with a cute community vibe to it in pastel tones.

    scp foundation wallpaper desktop


    Meanwhile, my laptop is SCP themed. I inverted a wallpaper I got from one of the searches, changed the start menu to the white and dark theme, I also gave the recycle bins and folders a minimalist look that suits it. The apps are dark-themed and they all fit nicely to my military-grade laptop where I usually play my retro games!


    Trash can empty and full icons

    The Program icons are located in that "classified programs" folder which also suits the theme. The folder icon is a separate find too~






    My phone here gets a theme from the Asus store, it's free! A teddy bear themed and the icons just nailed it. I've done a good clean in my room as well. Mostly, doing the things I've been putting off for some time and the result was me being so inspired to boost my creativity. The only thing that makes me sad though is the time has come to renew my reshadollyprincess.com domain and my partner and I talked about letting it go. The reason why? He suggested that I focus more on establishing and building my professional presence.

    I reminisce why I bought this .com? oh, at that time I saw some opportunities that they require .coms to be sponsored and I got enticed, but since I'm not anymore into sponsoring lately, I would think I'll let it go even I feel sentimental since I share so many histories here~ plus, I also haven't posted the cosplays that I am not finished editing the backgrounds yet~ even though, I don't really need this to be a .com to post them. Well, for now. We have decided to let it go.~

    Chihuahua at desk, dog at desk, working with the dog


    What am I up to lately? Yes, I've been really busy with work as the usual. However, I would also be indulging myself to interesting things that I love doing while I can. Lately, I've taken up a creative project that make time go really fast! Meaning, that I got so indulged in what I was doing that time passes by so fast and I that I do not even feel it. When I finished a milestone, the client got so enthusiastic and excited for the next project and kept on bugging me to finish the next one, especially when he saw the progress. Once again, it got to the point that client got really excited with my project and sulked when I took a time off due to overwork. It seems I'm dangerous when I indulge myself in something, I tend to give my best and when clients like it, they 'order' for more, not ask for more, 'order' is the phrase because they tend to get bossy later when the job was done more than they expect, they tend to make a freaking Santa list! Of course, that would usually make me lose the time I have for other things that I want to do or for other clients~ Time is the most expensive factor when one becomes an adult. 



    At most times when I get really stressed out and I need something to really keep my mind off from the stress, it seems playing STARCRAFT once again has made me hooked up on the game even though I keep freaking losing to my partner. We are still thinking of other games we could play together like as a team but battling with each other doesn't seem to be a really bad idea.


    Time taxi, Sutekina Sen Taxi, edakaware manga


    Lately, we we're watching 'SUTEKI NA SEN TAXI / Time Taxi' and I was asked what I would I want to do over in my life? That I answered  none. Why? Because so far everything went on as I want it to be. Although, there were some hiccups, it's nothing that can't be fixed anytime soon. Oh, I recommend the 10 episode series of Japanese Film 'Suteki na Sen Taxi / Time Taxi' I love it and watch one episode a day. Well, just a reference my partner set because he didn't want to finish the series all in one go.



    Oh, also I got the news lately of Kiss Anime shutting down. It's so sad and the same as others I feel terribly empty... especially, when they announced they'll upload anime titles by 2021, my eyes probably becomes like a Nightwalker by the time they upload it to YouTube. Most people knows that pirated media is bad for the industry and even I as an animator gets affected by the harassing rates we get from making anime but seriously, the timing was incredibly terrible especially in the time when most people are inside their homes due to Pandemic and everyone relies on entertainment online. For me, since I could not even take my stress walk outside, I could only rely watching anime at home. I rarely put any budget for watching anime and this time I still hope I could still watch them for free. Of course, if they will add ads or sponsorships I would understand and not skip them, but please let us view them for free. I beg you~ Well, I wouldn't want to resort in pulling my underground strings just to watch anime for free.


    During our food break, my partner would whip up something good just to make us feel motivated for work during the day. It has been tough for me that I could not even go to the supermarket to browse things I would want to cook for the next day as we got back to MECQ and the virus gets mutation. Speaking of which, my friends are telling me to switch into an upgraded gear for protection, they said the one that they gave me initially might not be effective protection from the new mutation and I will really need to look & buy one myself since even they could not find and get one except the one they use for work. Things are getting really tough.... So! What we do is be creative for our meals and everything feels rewarded and charged when we eat good food that we love.

    Its hard nostalgia hit me when months ago I've been searching on to Kissanime's search bar Grander Musashi for quite some time and suddenly a few weeks ago I just found out that they uploaded a subtitled version of it.

    Kissanime surely checks the searches of people on their search bars!

    Grander Musashi TV anime



    Oh my, I almost died of nostalgia... this anime was the reason why I got curious and watched Hunter X Hunter, it's because Musashi is similar to Gon and I thought, it was a continuation of the series.

    I clearly remember how I got engrossed with fishing baits back then... and was so eager to go on fishing with my family.

    Grander Musashi Baits


    Apparently, I wasn't good at it... since there's a lot of factors that make you an expert at it and I'm super impatient catching any fish!

    The opening song just struck me and I sang the same time I finally get to hear it once more... oh my childhood memories struck me as if I turned back time even for just a moment there.

    It's why Rick Harrison in Pawnstars could not comprehend why Pokemon cards were so expensive on one of their episodes. The reason why is because Millenials like to relive the past, although it's impossible, at the very list their toys and collectibles help to at least take them back on those times. 

    I have another Nostalgic strike, although this time it was a toy maybe I'll have that for another post.



    . Tuesday, June 30, 2020 .



    While we are all dazzling over the cuteness of Chii, her simple innocence that seems to become a topic of  'Echi-ness' for all Chobits anime and manga fans, we came into a thought that despite all these pure faces, their mother (Chitose Hibiya) still abandoned them.

    Ms. Landlady has always been smiling, she was like the 'I got everything' under control character in the Chobits series but, we suspect that she is more than what meets the eye. 

    Behind that all ever shining smile, we were all surprised that even such an innocent-looking character like her, would throw Chii at the side of the road like garbage. We probably would have accepted if her memory was erased and still have consciousness, then tried to lose her at the side of the road, like a puppy, but it's somewhat like Miss Pepper Potts from Iron Man saying " I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires, including occasionally TAKING OUT THE TRASH. Will that be all?" 

    Yes, Chitose treated Chii literally like trash, unlike what Ms. Potts who only talked in Metaphor but still carried out her job. 

    and what happened to Freya?

    We suspect even worse, our vision that Chii's sister, Freya had much worse fate than her, as we predict that she was butchered or let's say it a bit more technical 'disassembled' in a matter of way.

    We all know that both girls Chii and Freya were extremely close to their creator father to the point that it seems jealousy stemmed from their mother with the seemingly endless attention his husband gave to Chii and Freya.

    Thankfully, she spared Chii, which we think was a mere mercy action of a mother, although Chitose Hibiya did erase 'almost' every memory she had with her former family. Well, if she didn't we wouldn't have the series, right?

    In conclusion, Miss Landlady isn't really all the innocent looking door next-door neighbor that we know. We think that she is a tender looking psychopath - that would seem to snap out if triggered anytime soon. 

    So I guess better be careful and be kind to your neighbors - especially the cute, innocent looking ones, because you may never know.

    Yes, we have ordered this. It seems to be a magazine though, we did not expect that but a little extra is good!

    I can't wait to see it!






    . Monday, June 29, 2020 .

    I had a dream. My family knows that whenever I do, there's something that needs to be heard. They've gotten used to it, most of the dreams I told them about impending deaths.

    This time it's about a staff dinner with my former alma matter, St. Patrick's school's Principal (Violeta Lantin) treated everyone for a dinner. She was there, it was like a nostalgic recollection.

    She announced that she made the parents write what their children needs and will raffle it. 

    She picked up my moms name, she read that mom wrote that I needed a laptop and called me upfront to confirm if I do, I said said no, I don't really need it and turned back to my seat. By the time, I got back to my seat, she was gone. 

    I looked everywhere on what the staff were eating, and they were having a delicious hotpot in a black wide earthenware pot, it looked so delicious that I was almost about to dig in. Gladly, my guardian helped me and not let me eat, well, you're not supposed to eat anything in the other side or theres no turning back after al
    Crab egg hotpot





    I wish I can try the soup, it looked like it was sauteed like liziqis' with the mushrooms (enokitake) and added a bit broth, the aroma of garlic and spices almost called me to the other side!~ 

    Anyway, when I was awaken with meaws call from his relatives that someone was needing a computer repair help, the kid would be learning online and would be enrolled at St. Patrick soon. 

    Mushroom chili hotpot

    I was surprised and told him about what I dreamt. He said that maybe Principal still oversees her students and students-to be even after death, especially that education is greatly affected due to pandemic.

    Up until now, I am convincing him to cook that hot pot for me.

    Vogue Moschino school uniform autumn 2013

    The adults did a really great job in protecting children from the pandemic, there are fewer cases of COVID-19 infections among kids, this is due mostly because the schools and government immediately took action and decided to suspend the classes until the infection gets controlled. 

    However, as the vaccine will take two years to develop, classes reopening might be a huge risk of becoming another wave of infection, and this time, among children.

    Other countries have decided to do full-time home studies for the children, and when every child is at home, the need to dress up for a uniform becomes unnecessary and less likely to be practiced.

    In a few month's time, we won't be seeing much of that cute plaid or symbol-of youth uniforms for quite a while and we will miss it.



    Other people like me, cosplayers or models, wear uniforms to portray a character or promote a fashion. What we can see in the near future is that as fewer and fewer people wear school uniforms on the streets, it will become more likely to be converted into a fashion statement out in the streets. People will wear it as fashion to emphasize youthful vibes and a symbol of feminity. 

    For me, though uniforms help keep my closet from stacking up too much clothing and less stress for me to think of what will wear for the day.

    Did I also mention how easy they are to laundry?
    They're so light, they don't take much space and dries up easily after laundry. I don't need too much effort, plus it looks anime-ish IRL (In real life).



    Convenience

    While uniforms offer the lightest load for easy washing, it goes the same for the wearer. Since the cloth material light, movement is easy. The fashion is buildable, you can add cardigans and high socks to add more warmth or style.

    Variety

    Uniforms come in different lengths, styles, colors, and designs making it a most flexible fashion statement in every timeline.
