BLOG -- Recap of July

So, here is my recap blog for July. This month was much busier for me. Like my June recap blog, I will mention everything that happened this month, even if I blogged about it. If anybody is curious on my thoughts on anything, as always, please go ahead and ask. :)

Outings/Events in July:
- Celebrated my birthday almost everyday during my birthday week.

- Went karaoking for 2 hours. I was at a new place and was checking out its computer catalogue while singing, haha.

- Went clothes-shopping and splurged slightly.

- Had a BBQ lunch at work. It was Olympic themed. I enjoyed it very much.

- Had drinks with my co-workers after work (x2). One time I was eating a donut that a co-worker got for me.


Exposures:
- (beer) Rickard's White -- bitter! Not as bitter as Carlsberg, though.

- (beer) Creemore -- bitter, but tolerable.

- (cider) Somersby Cider -- sweet and delicious.

- (alcohol) Gin & Tonic -- very delicious and refreshing.

 - (restaurant) Finn Izakaya -- the food is good and the service is good.

- (restaurant) Kinton Ramen -- a very busy place! Good food, though.

- (restaurant) Asahi Sushi 

- (restaurant) Wow! Sushi


Finished...
Watching:
- (Anime): iDOLM@STER: The Animation -- I enjoyed what I could of it. I didn't understand everything, but I liked what I saw. Especially all the singing and dancing.

- (Anime): Basilisk --  Very good, but such a sad ending. I will not acknowledge that ending and will just make up a suitable ending for myself.

- (Movie): Snow White & The Huntsman

- (Movie): Easy A -- Fun and funny movie. The structure is very similar to Thank You for Smoking

- (Movie): Brave -- Not what I was expecting from the trailer, but still enjoyable. Very heart-warming.

- (Movie): Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

- (Movie): The Amazing Spider-Man -- Very enjoyable.

Playing:
- (PS3): Uncharted: Drake's Fortune -- It was very fun and creepy at the same time.

- (PS2): American Idol -- It's funny to see the performers mess up.

- (PS2): Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana -- I'm so happy that I beat this. Now I can check out the sequel.

- (PS2): Gitaroo Man -- This is super hard!

- (DS): Ontamarama -- This game is horrible so far.

A Foosball table that the company won for consuming lots of alcohol.

This chocolate came from Peru. I've kept the ribbon and placed it on one of my stuffed toys.



Thanks for reading! :)

  1. I remember watching Basilisk on Netflix, then deciding to take a break halfway through and watching this Japanese film called "Shinobi: Heart Under Blade" which also happened to be on Netflix. I remembered seeing a friend who had a Blu-Ray version of this film from a while ago, so I decided to check it out.

    Little did I know that both the anime and the film were based on the same story, except that the movie was an extremely truncated version of the anime given its movie-length time constraint, with laughable costumes and acting (for the "badass" characters, at least).

    When I realized this, I put off watching the film until I finished the anime. The endings were different, but I wish I could forget about the film version. lol

    1. I've also watched Shinobi: Heart Under Blade, but I saw all of it before the anime. Both were slightly different, so I don't compare them much. I actually kind of liked the movie ending just a bit more. But I think both endings could have been different -- like -- happier.
