i150W: Here Comes The Rain… Again

The rainy season is back. It’s time for the gloom and the cold once again…

These past few days, I have been feeling depressed. The rain always gets me down. That’s why I prefer...

[#TheFourWeekendPlan... Again?]

Last time, I managed to enjoy the two main events for the previous #T4WP: the Pinoy Otaku Festival: Yume and the BGC-McKinley Hill-Uptown Bonifacio mall-hopping trip. Also, I was seriously considering trimming it down to just two weekends, but for some reason, I'm not yet ready to give this up.

As with the previous ones, this is pretty much unplanned. To be honest, I'm not really keen on documenting this since I don't feel like doing it anyway. But I have to, considering that this year's POF event is their tenth POF event since its inception, not to mention this will be the sixth POF event I've attended so far.

At My Favorite Hangout Place (April 26th)

I decided to begin this year's #T4YP with a visit to my favorite hangout place. Right now, one of the cafes I frequented post-pandemic (Daily Ground Coffee) has closed, so is it Cafe Luca, Drip'n Coffee, or maybe Teafanny & Co.? Or maybe a surprising new addition to the ones I've frequented so far?

Of course, I ended up going to Cafe Luca, which is obviously my first choice anyway. Besides, my favorite spots at the other cafe, Drip'n Coffee (the window seats), were already taken at the time. Anyway, I just had a tall iced blended coffee jelly (a frappe), a brownie, and a nice view of the alfresco area. I mostly took selfies and Instagram uploads, but I also took a moment to order a 4-day pass to the upcoming POF event, which is just five days away. I was too distracted to do some writing at the moment, so I just read some of my story drafts saved on my smartphone instead.

Later on, I visited the three malls nearby and checked some of the shops. I had a beef gyudon bowl at Tokyo Tokyo (Robinsons Novaliches), but the excess sauce saturated the rice, and it was a bit too salty for my liking. I also did a little grocery shopping, and I ended up buying a Magnum ice cream bar, a strawberry panna flavor (a panna cotta, I assume). I did some hilarious selfies with it, just like what I did with the Magnum Gold bar from 2014 and the Halloween Dilly Bar from Dairy Queen back in 2012.

Anyway, now that I have the 4-day pass, I must do some serious planning if I want to make the most out of the event. Who would've thought that another otaku event would be held at a neighboring mall (Fairview Terraces) on the same weekend as POF's (Robinsons Novaliches)?

Pinoy Otaku Festival 2025: 10-Shūnen (May 3rd-4th)

I’ve documented the entire POF event in a separate post (The Keihancarl Diaries: May 3-4, 2025), so I’ll just feature a summary here.

This is where it gets even more complicated. There's also uncertainty as to whether I get to visit the event or not. I was so anxious at the thought of it. Luckily, I managed to attend the last two days of the POF event, the tenth-anniversary themed 10-Shūnen. On the same weekend, an Ozine Fest event, From The Streets Of Harajuku, was held at Fairview Terraces, which I only found out while checking my Facebook feed. And that's how I managed to squeeze my time visiting two events on the same weekend. On both days.

I managed to take some selfies with cosplayers (most are from the Ozine Fest), bought some merch (mostly manga books), enjoyed watching performances from idol groups (Aidoru Hour) and some of the guests, and watched the Cosplay Championship League and the Love Live! Muse fashion show. While I somehow find it underwhelming due to fewer congoers and cosplayers and missing out on some event highlights, I managed to enjoy the POF event just the same. I never got to witness some of the event highlights at the Ozine Event, though.

After this, it'll be Mother's Day next week, and I have plans for that weekend that are not related to the T4WP. It's also the weekend before the 2025 Senatorial Elections in the Philippines. The third part of T4WP was scheduled on the 17th of the month.

The First Mall-Hopping Trip For 2025: From Monumento To Ermita (May 17th)

The corresponding post is right here: (The Keihancarl Diaries: May 17, 2025).

I haven't done any mall-hopping trips since last year's Manila International Book Fair, so I decided to do just that. So I decided to visit the Monumento and Manila (San Lazaro/Binondo/Ermita) areas, which was a last-minute decision. It was all worth it, as I did ride the new-generation LRT trains not once, but twice. Also, I get to see Rizal Park's amazing new look, particularly the part within the museum complex (which is, by the way, closed to visitors at the moment).

I only bought some manga books at the Booksale branches in SM San Lazaro and SM Manila, and did check out much of 168 Mall for the first time since 2016 (subsequent visits were only limited to the ground floors due to the mall being too crowded with shoppers). I also took some interesting pics as well as selfies. Too bad I never get to visit the Cloverleaf and the former Baywalk areas due to time constraints.

I did enjoy the trip so much that I'm looking forward to another revisit. While I'm at it, I might consider concentrating on the Ermita and Intramuros areas in the future, as I only get to visit the former during the late afternoons, and I've yet to revisit the latter after my first trip to the area 13 years ago.

And Back At My Favorite Hangout Place (May 31st)

It's been a month since my last visit to my favorite hangout place, so I decided to spend the last week of T4WP there. And at the same cafe, since I didn't feel like going to the other cafe(s) at the moment.

As usual, I decided to order a tall iced blended drink, the caramel one, and a white almond donut. A hearing-impaired staff member was manning the counter, and she took my order without any problems. I sat down by the window, enjoying my drink and the donut with a smile. Outside, the sky is showing signs of rain. Yup, the rainy season is on its way.

After that, I decided to check the shop selling second-hand items (mainly from Japan). Once I got out, there was a parade, and then a sudden rainfall. I decided to wait for the jeepney to arrive and make my way to the Fairview malls (except Robinsons Novaliches).

I bought a new pair of shoes at Planet Sports (Fairview Terraces) as the ones I'm wearing right now are a little worn out, and I had a ramyun dinner after that (the stir fry this time). I initially planned to buy a new pair of pants at Uniqlo (SM Fairview), but I held off on it for now. Same thing with getting a new screen protector for my OnePlus phone as well. Might probably do the latter once I get back from Cebu. And that concludes this year's #TheFourWeekendPlan.

Postscript

Of all the post-pandemic T4WP, this is so far the best one ever. I enjoyed every single one of them. The interval between the otaku events, the mall-hopping trip, and the recent cafe visit took longer than expected. Considering that I only get to have my me-time moments every other week since the pandemic, this is expected.

After this, the future of T4WP is uncertain. Depending on where the next POF event will be held, as well as the possibility of reclaiming my entire weekends once again, there's a chance I might discontinue this for a good number of reasons. If it does, then this will be the end of T4WP, but I'll still continue documenting both the POF event and the mall-hopping trip after that.

The Cebu trip is only a few days away. I won't be documenting this one, just like what I did on the Baguio trip last year, but I'll upload some pics on my Instagram account. So there.

Layered Outfits, Red Socks, Black Fingerless Gloves, And Some Nice Accessories…

I create my own style and don’t rely on the latest trends. And no one can argue with me.

About a decade ago, I used to wear coats, cardigans, and vests. Until the pandemic, I wore these whenever I went out on mall-hopping trips or special events. Along with my unusual layered outfits, I also wear black fingerless gloves, red socks, and some...

[The Keihancarl Diaries: May 17, 2025]

Welcome to the third part of #TheFourWeekendPlan! It’s me, Keihancarl, and it’s time for a mall-hopping trip after attending two otaku events (on the same weekend) two weeks ago. And yes, this is the first mall-hopping trip for 2025, with the last being the MIBF/Mall Of Asia/Ayala Malls Manila Bay from September last year.

xxxxxxxxxx

So I’m wearing red and black for this trip. For a while, I’ve been debating between Manila (Binondo + Ermita, plus Monumento in Caloocan and Cloverleaf in Quezon City), BGC (with a short stop at One Ayala Mall later in the evening, where FanFes 2025 is being held), or Makati (Rockwell + Circuit, and possibly, a Binondo side trip). I’ve already revisited the first two in 2023 (except Cloverleaf) and 2024, respectively. Should I decide with the latter instead?

After a period of indecisiveness, I decided on the first one. Well, Manila, it is. Having visited BGC just last year, I think I’m already satisfied with what I’ve seen there… for now, at least. The Rockwell and Circuit areas can wait a little longer. And so are the places I’ve yet to visit (and re-visit) since the pandemic, including Ortigas, Greenhills, and Alabang.

Anyway, I left the house at exactly 10:00 AM. Traffic is surprisingly light on the way to Novaliches. From there, I took the UV Express to Monumento. Initially, I wanted to get off at LRT Balintawak, only to be told that the van would not pass by the area. I was completely baffled at first, but seeing that the UV Express van was passing by the North Luzon Expressway (via Mindanao Avenue), I finally understood. Traffic was terrible along Quirino Highway and Mindanao Avenue (going to North Avenue), anyway. The fare had increased a bit, from 35 (in 2019) to 50 pesos (in 2025). As a result, I decided to skip Cloverleaf (again), knowing that there isn’t anything worth visiting as both Uniqlo and Biblio had already closed. But the trip was faster than expected, and I arrived at Monumento around 11:30 AM.

And I reached my first stop, SM City Grand Central. The UV Express dropped me at the LRT Station, where their new terminal (UV Express) is.

I only checked a few shops, mainly bookstores. As expected, I visited all three bookstores in the mall. The National Book Store branch on the lower ground level really surprised me. On my last visit, the store space appeared to be small. Well, they must be working on the enclosed space at the time. It looks quite larger than I expected.

Biblio was transferred to the fourth level (can't recall where it was previously located) beside the SM Store entrance. And guess what I just saw, there are some small hardbound books that were similar to Harry Potter’s. Yup, an unauthorized parody novel called Barry Trotter by Michael Gerber.

At Fully Booked, an entire shelf was dedicated to collectible toys, including Hirono. There were fewer manga books on the shelves, either.

An e-sports event was held on the fifth floor (SM Skylight Park). I'm still amazed at the mall's biophilic design, just like the other SM mall in Caloocan (but not the nearby SM Sangandaan).

I also took a moment to check the Caloocan City skyline and the LRT [Yamaha] Monumento Station from the food court's window.

Some of the shops from my last visit have closed (including the milk tea shop FRNK) and have been replaced with new ones. So far, the mall is actually doing well, given its prime location and its close proximity to EDSA and the LRT.

The overpass to the other side of the LRT Monumento is the same as last time, still unfinished. So I’m forced to go back to where I crossed (at the other end of the mall, unfortunately), and it’s a little far from the station entrance. But I managed to load up my Beep card before turning back, at least.

And I took the LRT to Tayuman Station. The directional signs now read Dr. A. Santos Station (in Parañaque), a few stops from the previous southern terminus, Baclaran Station. The first phase of the LRT Line 1 Extension to Cavite was finally opened in November 2024. It’ll be a lot easier to go to PITX that way, and I can finally visit the rest of the major malls in Parañaque for the first time. That can wait, though.

Anyway, I finally got to ride the new generation trains, the red ones. It was cooler inside. And it runs a little fast, too. I reached my next stop in about ten minutes, with four stops in between.

On to my next stop, SM City San Lazaro. There was a 3-day mall sale. Fiesta streamers (colored flags) decorated the mall's atrium area. Outside, it rained just a little bit. I decided to check a few shops, including Booksale. I bought a couple of second-hand manga there.

Around this time, I was starting to get hungry so I decided to have a lasagna and garlic sticks at Greenwich. It didn’t take me long to finish all of it too.

The SM Store signage was updated. It feels kind of inconsistent on the atrium entrances, though.

The cinemas on the east side are being renovated. I'm not sure about the ones on the other side, though. They're probably going to convert it into additional tenant spaces, but who knows?

Proceeding to the next stop, I decided to take a jeep to Recto and a modern tricycle to 999 Mall. I took a quick moment to check the shop where I bought my anime shirts, and this time, I couldn’t find anything interesting.

I then proceeded to the Lucky Chinatown Mall and headed immediately to the cinema area. There were a lot of available seats, so I sat down on the one beside the escalator and worked on this post. By the way, the first and second floors of the LCM Annex (Imperial Wing) were closed, but the third level remains open. It seems like KKV is opening a branch on that wing, hence the ongoing works?

After a twenty-minute rest, it was time for me to explore the Binondo malls. I decided to visit 168 Mall first (heading back to City Place). I find it difficult to navigate the area due to the crowd of shoppers. The mall feels kind of cramped, too. But I did manage to reach the top floors for the first time, the ones where the food court and the formal wear shops are.

Going back to Lucky Chinatown Mall, I decided to have a lemon tea drink at Cha Yi. I didn’t get to check much of the mall, but I did have some selfies at the cinema area. And I get to see one of the mascots, a mime dressed in a small, red dragon-like costume.

I took a modern tricycle to Manila City Hall. Along the way, I managed to take some pics of the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge and the Binondo Church, among others. I passed by the underground pedestrian pass, and I noticed that the second-hand bookstore, Books From The Underground, is closed.

Next stop, SM City Manila. I only visit a few shops there, including Booksale (I bought another manga book as well) and Uniqlo (just a quick check at the UT section). Flying Tiger opened a branch at the mall, but I didn’t bother to check it out. There’s also a 3-day mall sale. There were also fiesta streamers in the atrium area like the ones in SM City San Lazaro.

I then took the LRT to the United Nations station and visited Rizal Park. The stairsteps at the Central Station were covered with Naruto characters, advertising their collaboration with Mobile Legends. Getting off at UN Avenue, I decided to check the area near the National Museum. There were some improvements in the park between the two museums, and it looked really good. It's currently closed to the public, but once it opens, I won't have to pass by T. M. Kalaw Avenue just to get to Rizal Park.

Moving on, I passed by Rizal Park, and the guards (dressed as Guardia Civils) will inspect your bags before going inside. I stopped for a few minutes, watched the dancing fountains, and worked on this post. I decided to skip the Baywalk area, which is now called the Dolomite Beach, due to time constraints.

At the final stop, Robinsons Manila, I only had dinner at Chowking. I didn’t check any of the shops there. The mall is undergoing a major redevelopment. Well, the tiles in some parts of the mall were like an abstract painting. Maybe they’ll fix that soon.

And it’s time to go home. I decided to take the UV Express to SM Fairview, like always. Travel was quite fast (except in some parts of Commonwealth Avenue, particularly the Manggahan and North Fairview areas), considering it’s a weekend. I got home a little past 10:00 PM.

xxxxxxxxxx

It was a satisfying mall-hopping trip, despite skipping the Cloverleaf area for various reasons. Also, I managed to enjoy the entire trip, just the way I wanted, though I almost fell asleep at the LCM cinema lobby during a little break from exploring. Still, I managed to make it throughout the day without any problems.

Well then, I might do another mall-hopping trip, probably in a couple of months. This time, I'm aiming for the three SM malls in the Parañaque area, one of which is near the LRT Dr. Santos Station. Or maybe I’ll finally get to check the Opus Mall (Robinsons Bridgetowne) and the GH Mall (Greenhills) soon.

But for now, this concludes the third part of #TheFourWeekendPlan. I'm looking forward to another cafe weekend in Lagro to conclude this year’s T4WP, and I'll probably explore the area while I'm at it.

[The Keihancarl Diaries: May 3-4, 2025]

Hi everyone, Keihancarl here. This awesome weekend is all thanks to this year’s Pinoy Otaku Festival (POF) event. I’m more stoked than ever!

xxxxxxxxxx

The tenth-anniversary themed POF event, 10-Shūnen (pronounced juu-shuu-nen), is a four-day event held at the Robinsons Novaliches Trade Hall. The Otaku Choice Awards are held on the event's second day, which falls on Friday.

Aside from POF: 10-Shūnen, an Ozine event called From The Streets Of Harajuku is happening at the neighboring mall, Fairview Terraces. Oh boy, this could get really competitive.

May 3rd

I decided to go all-black for this one, since I feel like standing out a bit from the crowd. Hoping to reach the event as early as possible, I planned my outfit ahead of time, like I normally would.

I reached Robinsons Novaliches around 3:00 PM. I immediately stopped by Watson’s to buy some throat lozenges and some cough meds before heading straight to the venue. Inside, I took a moment to check some of the stalls and bought three manga books, and later, a Koutarou Bokuto figure. Unfortunately, there’s no photo booth as with the previous POF events I attended, and so is the Godzilla toy display. But they do have trading card game tournaments courtesy of Toy Shogun. And I did get to have selfies with a couple of cosplayers.

The event area wasn't crowded, but it’ll be in a few hours… well, sort of. There was a panel discussion and some performances by guests and idol groups (Aidoru Hour).

Later on, the Karaoke Battle Royale commenced. All of the contestants are to perform TV (opening or ending themes) and full versions of anime songs. I managed to hear the opening theme from Chainsaw Man and Dragon Ball Z before I decided to step out of the venue for a bit.

I had a meal at KFC, a one-piece chicken with mushroom soup and mashed potatoes. I managed to scald my tongue a few times while taking a sip of the mushroom soup, but I have to since my throat got itchy, and I’m starting to have a cough. Anyway, that took care of it (for now, at least) and my hunger.

Moving back to the venue, I get to see more idol performances, as part of the Aidoru Hour. Meanwhile, as I checked my Facebook account, I noticed that there’s an Ozine event (From The Streets Of Harajuku) happening at the nearby Fairview Terraces, so I decided to check it out. I only checked some of the merch, but didn’t buy anything… yet. No selfies from any of the cosplayers there either.

Heading back to Robinsons Novaliches, I stopped by Gong Cha for a strawberry lime drink (with less ice, of course). I also uploaded the first batch of photos and worked on this post. I head back to the POF event after I finished my drink.

I only got to catch the last part of the Anime Game Challenge (was it the Otaku Singing Bee?) by the time I arrived, and the event ended for the night. There’s one more day left. Anyway, I decided to check some of the shops in SM Fairview before I head home. I wonder if there’ll be a lot of congoers and cosplayers on the last day of the event. Who knows?

May 4th

On the final day of the event, I decided to wear my favorite colors: red, black, and gray. All right, off to the last day of POF we go!

I didn’t feel the need to rush since I’ve got the 4-day pass (though I only use it for just two days), so I decided to check the Ozine Fest event at the Fairview Terraces first.

Sure enough, there were a lot of cosplayers at the venue. I managed to take selfies with some of the cosplayers, too.

I was planning to buy some merch, but I decided to hold off until later. I never did, unfortunately.

I reached Robinsons Novaliches around past 5:00, it didn’t took me long to make it inside the venue. Anime Feud was already starting when I arrived.

Some of the cosplayers and congoers from the Ozine Fest event have arrived at the POF event. I just happened to take the longer route, via SM Fairview.

There were performances by several idol groups, as part of the Aidoru Hour. Around 6:00 PM, I decided to step out for a bit and had a meal at the nearby Jollibee, which is a chicken fillet with pepper gravy sauce, fries, and chicken macaroni soup. I had to wait fifteen minutes for the macaroni soup to be served, though.

Back at the venue, I get to see the Cosplay Championship League, a Love Live! fashion show, and a performance by Raze and Reima of Poly V. I also bought a few more merch, including a couple of manga books (it took me about 30 minutes to decide what manga books I should buy). After that, I stayed there until the event was over.

There’s the awarding of the winners in the earlier competitions and some announcements. And that concludes yet another awesome event.

xxxxxxxxxx

This year’s POF event is okay, but compared to the previous ones, it feels kind of underwhelming. It was just me, but the Ozine event at the neighboring Fairview Terraces must have contributed to the (slight) decline in attendees. There were fewer cosplayers in the area (at times, none) right outside the venue, compared to the previous ones. Despite this, I did enjoy some of the performances by guests and idol performers (Aidoru Hour), the Cosplay Championship League, and Love Live! Muse - The Fashion Show. I missed the Multiverse Wrestling Unlimited and the Otaku Choice Awards, though.

Meanwhile, the Ozine Fest event is okay as well, it’s just that I never got to see any of the performances and competitions. I simply checked the event out of curiosity, but it is where I had the most number of selfies with cosplayers (the second day of the event).

Hopefully, next year’s POF event will be a great and exciting one. Not sure where it will be held, though. And I hope I’m in my best condition, too.

Also, expect the next part of #TheFourWeekendPlan, a mall-hopping trip, hopefully on the 17th of this month. I’m thinking of either Manila or Bonifacio Global City as potential destinations, maybe Alabang. For now, this is where I’ll conclude this awesome weekend, the second week of #TheFourWeekendPlan. Until next time!
