Dumaguete street signs

by the boulevard For me, the most iconic place in Dumaguete City is the boulevard. At the boulevard you can see Sequijor Island, the also iconic Silliman Hall, restaurants that offer different kinds of food from other countries and my favorite street food, Balot! That day when i sketched this, it was raining outside and we were inside Bo's Coffee shop, there was a big glass window that i could see the street corner, it was early in the morning and the streets where not very busy yet with tricycles moving around.

last friday afternoon we went to nagoya to visit the immigration office. next we went around takashimaya mall and found a spanning notebook but the size was big so i did not buy it. we went to the 51st floor at takashimaya to check out the view but it was covered with shops and spas. but the toilet at the 51st floor was nice. we went home after that.

saturday at yoro

we spent most of our saturday at yoro. treked to the waterfalls, and ate noodles that had pork that tasted like lechon while kikit had noodles that had eggplant and egg both were tasted very good. we also had the soft covering of mochi on a stick  and walked back to the station. we had a few minutes before the train arrived so i sketched the station. we also stopped by otoba and took some pictures. and while waiting for the train to ogaki i sketched the electric post and wire that was near the station. we still had time when we got to ogaki so we visited ogaki castle and i sketched it around almost 6pm. i also posed and had my picture taken inside a phone booth. as we walked home we saw a toy shop and bought some gundam godzilla robocop and gypsy danger mini figures after the toy shop we ate at a ramen shop where we picked betukon ramen which was the hottest ramen there which later we found out that translated to: vietcong ramen. we also order another rice bowl...

today i worked mostly on finishing the latest huni-huni song ulo abaga. in the middle of doing the animation editing i finalised the song with vocals. looking for the correct music file and recording in my computer had me stressed out a bit. we went out tonight at aeon mall and at toys r us i saw a big lego tie fighter box for almost five thousand yen. there were also samurai masks on display that were quite expensive. i posted it in instagram.com/dagways at the aeon mall we also saw a miniature train exhibit that was quite big. aroung five square sq. meters  in area featuring the fuji tower and gundam in odaiba. for dinner we went to sushiro were there were many flavorfull sushis to chose from. even the rice with bamboo shute tasted good.
