The Egg Tray: Jurassic World, Sense8, and More!

And we are back with another egg tray, where i show my current favorites. So let's get a move on!

Of course, one of the most anticipated films of 2015 is on this list. Jurassic World was definitely a must-watch for me because Jurassic Park is part of my childhood. Plus, Chris Pratt is in this movie, so how can I not watch it? My verdict is yes, it's a good film. I have to admit, it got very interesting the moment the dinosaurs came in, especially the raptors (they're so adorable). The dialogue maybe needed a little work for me, but that didn't stop me from enjoying. If you haven't seen it, give it a try. It may not be too thrilling, but it will give you the good vibes.

My next favorite is a recent series. It is called Sense8 and it was highly recommended by my friend because.... the Wachowskis made this. Sure, Jupiter Ascending may have been a descending to the majority, but it doesn't mean that the talents of the Wachowski Brothers have been diminished. I just started on the first episode and as far as I understood, it is about 8 people from around the world, who have this unexplained connection with each other. They are all able to sense each other, but this has yet to be explained in the show. So far, it's intriguing. The cast is so diverse and foreign, because they are not a bunch of white people attempting to be foreign. Plus, what I like about this series is that I get to experience the character and their culture at the same time. For example, we have Nomi, who is a lesbian fighting for the equality of the LGBT community in the United States. I was able to see the reality of the LGBT and what they are doing just to achieve gender equality. So yeah, I will most likely continue this series.

I was able to watch another anime show and it is called Steins;Gate. Since I've been a major fan of The Flash and the Insignia Series, I just had this sudden desire of more Science Fiction. Plus, I wanted to watch another anime to get over Akame Ga Kill, and this was the solution to all my problems. Basically, the anime focuses on Okabe Rintarou, as self-proclaimed mad scientist who aspires to change the world through science and technology. But he is particularly interested in Time Travel, and he and his friends managed to create their own Time Machine, which is in the form of a microwave. Unfortunately, this caused a major change in the timeline, created a whole new world line from there. I guess explaining the whole thing will reveal spoilers, but this anime has a very good build-up and the concept of Time Travel here is very unique. Plus, the characters are really good, even the minor characters are well-written. Also this story takes place in Akihabara, which is one of the "techie" and "moe" places in Japan. I'm not sure if I will be able to make a review of this, since I have a lot in mind, but all I can say is that I also recommend this show.

I was able to play a game, and it is called Pokemon: Sapphire Version. I know, it is a pretty old game but I miss playing Pokemon and I don't really have the latest model of the Nintendo DS. I really love the pokemon in Hoenn, all of them have been my favorite since I was a kid. My starter pokemon was Torchic. I only have four in my party so far and they are Flygon, Blaziken, Aggron, and Gardevoir. I'm about to get my eighth badge and hopefully defeating the Elite Four wouldn't be too difficult.

So that's all in my egg tray! Till the next post~

#ThrowbackThursday…Sort of

For some odd reason, posting old memories online every Thursday has become a trendy thing nowadays. It still makes me wonder why people prefer the word, "throwback" out of all the words that have anything to do with your past. Is it because it starts with the letter T just like Thursday? Perhaps maybe that's why there are other popular hashtags such as, "#FlashbackFriday", "#WaybackWednesday", or "#MemorylaneMonday". 

Okay, I am moving away from my point. 

I actually like posting old photos, but I want my #ThrowbackThursday to be entirely different. Today, I came across a lot of vintage toys that I haven't seen in a long time. Even the bed sheet featured in this post is very old. So let's get started! 

1.) Nintendo DS Lite

I have been quite the gamer girl during my pre-teen days. I started with an Xbox, then moved to the Gameboy SP. I remembered that the reason why I wanted the Nintendo DS Lite so bad is because I wanted to try out Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Yes. Only for that very reason. Well, apart from that, I enjoyed playing with Nintendogs. And in case you're wondering, it is not really a Hello Kitty-themed DS lite. If you look closely, it is just a case. 

2. Pikachu Vibrating Keychain

I honestly do not remember where and how I got this. Pokemon has played a major part in my childhood, and Pikachu has been one of my first favorites alongside Jigglypuff and Vileplume (right now, I am currently loving Eevee--such an adorable little thing!). What's very interesting about this keychain is that…it vibrates. Like, seriously. There is a pull string at the bottom (I am not sure how you should call that area), and when you pull it… it freakin' vibrates. I don't know why, but I find it really cool.

3.) This M&M Game

This was also a toy I got when I was very young, so I don't remember where I got this. I also think that I didn't get to play with it much. So I have no idea what kind games this thing has. One thing's for sure, it has something to do with M&M's. Yuuum. 

4.) Anastasia's Music Box/Jewelry Box

I am a huge fan of classic cartoons and Anastasia has been one of my favorites. I remember buying this  when I was in America a very long time ago. It's actually big, compared to the one in the movie, and it is a jewelry box. And yes, it plays the song, "Once Upon a December". 

5.) Stuffed Toys

Had to include Pikachu in the photo. Hahaha! 

Surprisingly, my Cabbage Patch doll is still alive. I've always been amazed by her hair. Not sure why they are called Cabbage Patch Kids, in the first place. What's so cabbage-y about them, anyway? The one on Cabbage's lap is a black cat. It's not just any black cat, by the way. Not sure how to describe it, but it has an elongated body and a zipper on its back. It was meant to be a pouch, but I treated it as a stuffed animal when I was a kid because I dreamt of having a pet (and it came true!). Now I use it as a pencil case for school, believe it or not. 

And there you have it! My 5-in-1 #ThrowbackThursday post! Perhaps you have any old toys that you would like to post for your upcoming Throwback?
