The Studio Ghibli Shop in Kyoto

I just got to visit the Studio Ghibli (スタジオジブリ) shop when I learned that there's one in Kyoto, Japan. The shop is located near Kiyomizu-dera Temple. You might not be able to notice it since it's located inside a building.

Cooling Down in Wawa Dam

It’s the time of year once again, in a tropical country like the Philippines, where people find ways to escape the summer heat. People go to the beach or take a dip to the pool. For people living near Rodriguez in Rizal Province, usually from Quezon City and Marikina, an alternative is to visit Wawa Dam (Montalban Dam). The dam is no longer operational since it was replaced by Angat Dam. Today, people spend time to enjoy the cool waters from the dam. And during summer, makeshift bamboo cottages are set up a few meters from the toe of the dam. This can be rented for P100 to P150.

Pililla Wind Farm

The wind farm in Pililla, Rizal is the third wind project that will be operational in the Philippines. The first two are in Bangui and Burgos, both located in the province of Ilocos Norte. The 54-megawatt wind farm will have a total of 27 towers. As of the moment, there are already around 16 towers up.
