WESTWORLD



I recall seeing this nicely illustrated cover when i was at a record store looking for cool second hand vinyls with great illustrations. For some reason i didn't buy it. But i loved the randomness and the way the composition of this piece was composed. A great mix of sci-fi and western.

Classic.

CANADA DRY GINGER ALE



I've been fond of this drink every since i lived in Osaka. I don't recall when i had my first taste but ever since then i've been buying Canada Dry ginger ale for a long time. Whenever i think of ginger ale, its Canada Dry. I even bought some old vintage print ads. That clearly shows how much i love this drink. One memory i remember is one prom night, possibly my junior year prom. We all went out to a bar/club at Ayala Mall. Everyone was drinking some alcohol, back then i wasn't into it at all or was not into the wave of getting drunk. So i ordered a ginger ale. I at first didn't know what to drink but the moment i saw it listed on the menu i ordered it right away. I guess nobody in Cebu had heard of ginger ale. So they literally thought i was drinking since it was on a bottle and resembled a Heineken.

I might go buy some tonight. I especially dig the small 6 pack bottles.

A. OKAY TOYS



This is somewhat of a new store in Belmont and Clark. More of Clark and School to be exact. At first i was pretty skeptical about the store since i'm such a loyal Rotofugi customer. But as i recently stepped into the store. Its actually not bad. A lot of the vinyl toys they sell there are great. I bought this one toy where its a crocodile that can split its body in half and it wears 2 pairs of socks on all its feet. Pretty neat.

RAMRIDER



As i was watching youtube, i typed in Suzuki Emi just for the curiosity from seeing her in Galsa. Which lead to a Pinky CM with her in it. And the background music playing was Feels Gonna Feel by RamRider. The second i heard it, i was like 'who is that?!'. Then its RamRider. Watched a bunch of videos on youtube. And almost every song got me hooked. Its just a perfect marriage of Daft Punk and Supercar. I just ordered this album.

The Right Brain



I'm left-handed. And as they say, left handed people are right-brained. The right hemisphere of the brain is know to be the more 'artistically' creative. Whatever that means, whether it is true or not. I like how this illustration illustrates that in way.
