Tokyo Disneyland
This is my first Disneyland trip. I have went to Enchanted Kingdom but this one is hell too far to compare.
The rides are clearly intended for youngster. There were no to-die-for rides. To be honest, it did not satisfy my sense of adventure. However, the whole area was so big that for one day you cannot explore the whole place. I really admire the dedication of the Japanese where they could stand to queue for more than an hour just to have a 5 minute ride. At first, I was like weh? seriously?
The place was big and i was sure it was safe. :)
We targeted only the main attractions of the place.
I even was amazed on how 4d film flicks become popular in Disney. There were lots of them.
I was a little sad because the haunted house was under construction. :( I was looking forward for it. And to add for the disappointment, there was supposed to be a light parade and a matsuri show in the evening. But the wind suddenly went strong and they have to cancel everything. I want to shout at the top of my lungs because of disappointment. Because we don't go to this place everyday and then finally that we were there, the main event were cut. However, the management explains all the details nicely.
I never heard anyone complain.
It was a very nice experience.

Tanabata
Japsies have this festival. I wished good things to my friends and bad things to the evildoers. Bless thy hearts.
The Story behind (Wiki)
The Story behind (Wiki)
Like Qixi and Chilseok, Tanabata was inspired by the famous Chinese folklore story, "The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd". Some versions were included in the Man'yōshū, the oldest extant collection of Japanese poetry.[3]:25
Orihime (織姫 Weaving Princess), daughter of the Tentei (天帝 Sky King, or the universe itself), wove beautiful clothes by the bank of the Amanogawa (天の川 Milky Way, lit. "heavenly river"). Her father loved the cloth that she wove and so she worked very hard every day to weave it. However, Orihime was sad that because of her hard work she could never meet and fall in love with anyone. Concerned about his daughter, Tentei arranged for her to meet Hikoboshi (彦星 Cow Herder Star) (also referred to as Kengyuu (牽牛)) who lived and worked on the other side of the Amanogawa. When the two met, they fell instantly in love with each other and married shortly thereafter. However, once married, Orihime no longer would weave cloth for Tentei and Hikoboshi allowed his cows to stray all over Heaven. In anger, Tentei separated the two lovers across the Amanogawa and forbade them to meet. Orihime became despondent at the loss of her husband and asked her father to let them meet again. Tentei was moved by his daughter’s tears and allowed the two to meet on the 7th day of the 7th month if she worked hard and finished her weaving. The first time they tried to meet, however, they found that they could not cross the river because there was no bridge. Orihime cried so much that a flock of magpies came and promised to make a bridge with their wings so that she could cross the river. It is said that if it rains on Tanabata, the magpies cannot come and the two lovers must wait until another year to meet.
Sugoi! Nihonjin ha totemo subarashii da!
Santander, a place of good scenery.
I was kind of down and then my adventurous side tried to come out again. And so i sporadically decided to go to Santander alone. Yes, ALONE.
I feel sad with all the happenings around me, specially in the office. I thought that maybe if i would try to find myself through the long trip, i could find solace.
Santander is such a quiet place. The people are friendly and the seashores are still not crowded with people's wastes. It was a very nice place.
After the 4hour trip, i found myself in the shoreline of liloan. It is where you will find the mini boat stop for people from Negros. It is surely a good place to go and find peace. My goal was achieved!
My next stop would be cebu north! Yehay.

正義の味方 (Seigi no Mikata) : Ally of Justice
I have finished a tv series this year. It's about a tormented younger sister by her older sister. The older sister is pure evil but it comes out to everyone that the older sister is an Ally of justice. Her evil doing always ends up as praises to her name. By the way it is a comedy series. :)
But if you look at the different side of the story, the older sister's principles in life are actually good and worthy of appraisal. I really like the way she complains whenever she sees something wrong and against the culture of excellence in Japan (since she is an employee of the government). The only bad thing about her is she is too dependent to her younger sister that already crosses the line between sisterhood.
I really do recommend this comedy series! It's a good watch.
seigi no mikata! seigi no mikata!
正義の味方! 正義の味方!

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate : Visual Effects at Excellence
The culture of excellence in CAPCOM maybe labeled as superb! I had just purchased the game "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate". I have a very bad learning curve with this game. At first I was sure to sell the game because I didn't enjoyed it that much. I did not understand what was going on. All I saw was the superb visuals amplified by the 3D effect.
Later on, I realized how good the game was. It might get the players irritated for their faint-at-heart characters but as soon as you'd be "in" the game, you just can't let go of it. I love Hunter X Hunter, Fairy Tail, etc. Actually you will be playing like hunters and 魔導士 (madōshi) when you play the game. You get requests/Quests from the people and townsmen, get rewarded, trade items etc.
What an experience of having to play this game. Killing is not my interest but this game sure have awaken my sense of hunting or KILLING (devil laugh).
HAPPY HUNTING!

Rizal Memorial Library and Museum
The last time i went to this place was way back during High School! I remember the library feels like a cave. And maybe because I felt no gratitude that time, I cant remember a thing inside it. All i remember is that I did research about historical figures.
I went back there but instead of going directly to the library, i went first to the museum above. The friendly guard-on-duty told me that the museum was open and someone was there. I went up. I thought i would see interesting figures or something but all i saw there are paintings. The paintings were good. There was this big replica of the Spolarium and have a lot of pictures from the Sinulog Photo contests. But to summarize the place, it was empty. Maybe some relics or whatsoever you call them were transferred somewhere.
I thought the person that the guard mention was the janitor who at that time was cleaning a room in the museum. I was not disappointed, i was not actually expecting much. The culture of excellence of Pinoys when comes to culture and heritage is not that strong. I have seen much drama about this topic in the media. Something like the government should invest more on protecting its heritage blah blah.
What surprised me is that the library has changed BIG TIME! Excellence at work, I should say. There has been a mini internet cafe inside. And there are actually people/teens inside who are studying. I was happy seeing the view (I didnt have the chance to take pictures, I think "bawal"). The people in-charged were good too. I asked for books about the history of Cebu and a lady personally handed me some. I read for an hour. I actually love reading old books, it gives me that magical feeling. The book was old and i could see in the borrowers log that people from 1960's once borrowed it. It gave me chills and excitement.

Epilogue: Apology
This will be the last entry about me practicing my freedom of expression as a blogger regarding my perilous follow-up check up with a doctor.
I would like to apologize whatsoever, if any statement might have offended people. This is not my intention. I have made it clear from the beginning that I only would like to describe and beg for a little change on choice of words towards patients which is inclined to all medical code of ethics, and patient's rights and responsibilities there is. And also this way, i can cope up with the trauma.
The holy week is ending. I might not update further details to people who wants answers. Answering question would just build fire and i want to forget everything that happened.
Again, may the first entries serve its purpose to persuade people to know what constructive criticism is, and the importance of wise choice of words. Apology to the people that might have been troubled by this blog.
ENTRIES following this one will no longer be about Vic. I will just be enjoying my new life of blogging things about excellence. HAPPY HOLY WEEK, HAPPY SUMMER!
