Notes on Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 1.

-



1. In which we get a You know nothing, Jon Snow, Neverending Story slash A Whole New World Edition.

2. Don't forget that Season 1 Episode 1 ended with Jamie pushing Bran from the top of a tower. Compare with the ending of S08E01.
3. Why was Bran waiting for Jaime anyway? Petty little things like vengeance and retribution are so beneath Bran now, so he must be planning to use Jamie for something important?
4. I love how S08E01 began the same way S01E01 did--with a young boy climbing up to get a better view of the arriving royal entourage. He even sorta looks like S01E01 Bran.
4. That new opening sequence is as exciting as the episode itself! It's like a mini puzzle to solve.
5. War elephants? Cersei, you really need to watch the movie 300, girl! Oh wait, YOU STARRED IN 300.
6. Are the showrunners just getting lazy? They just keep on referencing past episodes instead of writing new scenes. Do they just want to reward the fans who still remember all the episodes, so they can gloat about how much they know about the show?
7. Sansa and Tyrion, I'm still shipping you. After all this time. Always.

Coldplay in Manila

  I watched Coldplay perform here in the Philippines in 2017, and I had the crappiest tickets at the crappiest venue. I think I was standing a kilometer away from the stage. I barely saw anything. At the concert last night, Chris Martin read a poster a girl was holding, and it said, “In 2017, I was at the far back. Now I am this close.” Chris Martin then asked four people sitting on the very, very last row to move to the very front, then proceeded to sing Everglow. I don’t think I ever sobbed so hard during a concert. The first two photos are the ones I took when I attended their 2017 concert in Manila. The next two are from last night. All I know is, whether you’re at the far back or a bit closer to the stage, the magic is the same. Their concerts will always be an adventure of a lifetime.

1. Iloilo 2. Cebu 3. Legazpi (because of how beautiful Mt. Mayon was) 4. Davao 5. Sorsogon 6. Lucena 7. Butuan Ranking is purely based on personal experience. I know I missed out on a lot of things these cities could offer because, you know, I was there for work and only went sightseeing after work hours. Really grateful for a job that sends me to these beautiful places.
