Winter Vista Illumination 2013

I've been living in Tokyo for seven months now and ever since I set foot here, I'm looking forward to going to a lot of places I've never been to before whenever I come here for vacations. However, there's one in my list of to-go-to places that I've already been to but I still want to visit: Showa Kinen National Park. Why? It's because I want to witness one of the main events held in the city of Tachikawa during December, the Winter Vista Illumination. And I'm glad I was able to see it for the first time this year! Here are a some snapshots I took before my camera's battery got drained out. :-)

Park entrance

Christmas tree made of glasses

Look! In the glasses were written notes, probably by Japanese children

Breathtakingggg

Live band


Ramenya

More pop-up food stores


Light Maze


Illuminator Tree

Fantasia Train

I really enjoyed this night despite the numbing of my fingers and toes due to the cold December breeze. I'll definitely go back next year. ♥

Heartbreak Library

I ran out of series to watch so I randomly browse the movie collection of a site and came across with Heartbreak Library. I read the plot and since I love books and libraries, I decided to give the movie a try. Funny thing is, I found a similarity in Eugene's character's thoughts with mine these past few days.

When someone leaves you, it's not just in body but in soul as well.

There's no good reason for liking and for disliking something. So it's simple, she just came to dislike you.

Thoughts, anyone?

P.S. A few days more and it's 2014! Happy New Year in advance, everyone! Cheers! :-)

My Life According to Imagine Dragons

For the past week, my Facebook news feed was bombarded with notes of friends and in it goes something like: "Using only song titles from one band, answer these questions. You can't use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "My life according to (band name)."

And since it's been ages that I last made a Facebook note, I can't find the notes tab and decided that I'll just post this here, instead. As you may have noticed, I chose Imagine Dragons, because their songs are a huge part of my playlist this year. I've included the songs' respective videos, too. :-)
