Pacific Rim = Massive Excitement

Whoa! This movie is just epic. 
Everything here is huge (including the number of minutes the movie runs).
 
imageIt's just awesome to watch these kinds of movies (every now and then), where you feel how small you are.  It gives you a taste of how huge the world around you can become and an idea of the scale of mass destruction.
 
The movie at its core doesn't really offer much story-wise, even the personalities are stereotypical but who cares! Fan boys are going to watch this because of its Gundam vs Godzilla qualities. They are definitely going to get a lot of that, all in stunning CGI glory. Not to worry though, as there’s a sprinkling of humour here and there for some breathing time.

It is definitely a must watch for anyone who loves the mentioned epic battle scenes, those who wants to see grandiose effects and even those who like video games Surprised smile. What a surprise. Lol.

<spoiler alert>minor spoilers. skip this part if you don’t want those.  
best scenes: In one of the flashback-like sequences (part of a ‘drift’), a young girl (future pilot) is being chased by a Kaiju on the streets of Japan.
Also, when a Jaeger slashes a Kaiju with a sword while up in the sky.
<end of spoiler>

tip: There’s not much to see in 3D (only the first few minutes), so you can stick with the 2D version, or soak it all in with iMax.

Lastly, i just can’t help but mention how much this movie is reminds me of ‘Evangelion’.

Happy watching!

How to Apply for a Japan Visa in Singapore

If you’re planning on a short vacation to Japan, and you’re residing in Singapore the process of getting a visa is actually so much easier here than in Manila. Well, I guess that applies to a lot of things.. but that’s another topic! Since it’s supposed to be that easy, I won’t keep you waiting. This guide applies to you if: You’re a Filipino (or maybe other nationalities required to get a Japan visa) currently residing in Singapore (PR, student/dependent pass, or work permit). Filipinos are required to get a visa when entering Japan. For other nationalities please check this site: http://www.sg.emb-japan.go.jp/visa_exemption.htm#visatable *if you’re not listed in the exempted countries, then you require a visa. You are planning on a short Japan visit (max 15 days only). For multiple entries, training, study, business you’d have to do more than what is given in this guide. Better to check the embassy website for details. You are currently in Singapore. What?! I need to make s...

How to get an OEC at NAIA

IMPORTANT: This post is already outdated.  Please follow the new instructions here:  How to get OEC Online First, let me make it clear: you can only do this if you satisfy the following conditions: 1. You’re an OFW (currently and ‘officially’ employed abroad) 2. Will be visiting the Philippines for 5 days or less. The OFW counters at the airports would only give you clearance (called emergency OEC) when you have your work visa and would be going back to your country of employment within 5 days. Anything other than that, you should go to POEA offices or distribution centers (i’ve read they have one in SM Manila and one in Trinoma).
