Finished re-reading Sharon Kay Penman's The Sunne in Splendour, a 936-paged novel on King Richard III of England 📖
My opinions on the real Richard have changed since first learning about him in my high school years, but it's still a a great gateway to medieval England!

When it's hella cold out so you wear a winter coat and layers but the heater on the subway train is cranked up way too high that you sweat like crazy 💀

I also spotted some Slowpoke merchandise in the ticket prize area! It's kinda funny seeing all these here 😆
But Round1 here has much better prizes than Dave & Busters do, as some of them are imports from Japan or Korea and are not licensed products designed for Western markets

The arcade has a mix of common U.S arcade games and Japanese arcade games. I grew up with Dance Dance Revolution in the 2000s but it's nice to see them again with the resurgence of arcades
The food stand is also selling drinks collabing with Ado and Metaphor: ReFantazio 🥤

We got a Round1 here in the Jersey Gardens Mall in Elizabeth, NJ! ✨
Was surprised to learn it replaced the old Bed Bath & Beyond store. I've been to Round1 in Ikebukuro, but this one has a bowling alley, a bar, and food! It seems Dave & Busters has more competition now 👀

Some great hits my boyfriend pulled from the Phantasmal Flames set! He's so lucky to pull the Meowth full art 😻✨

Recently started rewatching The White Queen after like, maybe 8 years. I was so hyperfixated with this show and England's Wars of the Roses in early high school that I even recorded the episodes on my old cable TV's DVR

The Slowpoke Tower is growing taller ✨

Got my Meccha Japan order! It actually delivered while I was in LA. ✨
My parents confirmed there was thankfully no extra surprise imports fees upon delivery since I prepaid the tariffs to Meccha and FedEx.

Slowpoke has a request in the new Pokopia trailer

Many books published from the PH can be expensive when they are sold in the U.S due to imports, rarity, or being out of print. I ended up getting these books that talk about the Philippine Revolution and the Philippine-American War, but I spent like over $90 just for these 2 💀

"Books!"
In San Pedro in the LA area, there's a bookstore called Philippine Expressions Bookshop that sells books on Filipino topics, whether novels, history, culture, overseas diaspora issues, kids' books, etc.
They have books written by both Filipino and FilAm authors 🇵🇭📚

We also watched a moon rising that same night while waiting on line to the telescope! 🌖

The Zeiss telescope at the Griffith Observatory in LA 🔭
It's free to the public on clear evenings, and planet Saturn was visible Friday night so we saw a good view of it in the telescope 🪐

The Santa Monica Pier at night and in daytime! 🌊🏖️🌴
I wanted to watch the sunset here but we missed the opportunity. The daytime pic and video was taken in the morning before heading to the airport for our flight back to Jersey
