If you are in Manila and you are craving for Japanese food, head over to Robatayaki Izakaya Nobunaga sushi restaurant at 1644 A. Mabini Street, Malate, Manila.

The servings are big, hindi tinipid ang ingredients.

The ingredients are fresh. The taste is just right. My katsudon was crunchy and sa totoo lang, I had a hard time eating the whole order because the size is big.

The prices are reasonable. Expect to pay 800-1,000 for 2-3 people.

The place is big and there are enough tables to seat around approximately 40 people or even more. Photo taken around opening time.

The eating area is cool. You can see the food preparation in the open kitchen. There is parking for around 3-4 cars in front. You can also see a lot of Japanese eating in this restaurant.  The owner is usually in the restaurant overseeing the operations.

The YouTube Ads Leaderboard is a bi-annual list of the video platform’s top 10 ads in the Philippines that capture the hearts of Filipinos through popularity and promotion. More than just reaching views, engagement and likes, the recognition aims to foster more meaningful ads, relationships and challenges the industry through masterful storytelling.

The OPPO F5 Capture the Real You is a 30-seconder commercial with a natural approach towards product benefit, fronted by OPPO endorsers Alden Richards and Sarah Geronimo. The commercial shows Alden and Sarah looking at their old and unnatural selfies inside a museum, creating curiosity and doubt.

​

But with the OPPO F5, its new Artificial Intelligence Beauty Technology accurately detects your skin and adjusts the selfie experience per individual. Thus, resulting to a more natural looking selfie that is flawless and doesn’t mask the real you.

The said commercial was also the first material of OPPO combining two endorsers (Alden Richards and Sarah Geronimo) leading to more buzz among the fanbase. As a result, the OPPO F5 commercial reached more than 4.6M views in YouTube as of date and the most viewed ad of OPPO Philippines to date.

“OPPO is a very young brand in the Philippines as we are just about to turn four this 2018. Our shift towards more relevant ads makes us more favorable among consumers especially the youth who are digitally attached and captured by platforms like YouTube. We will continue this trend by listening to our consumers and provide them content that is relevant to all,” said Eason de Guzman, OPPO Philippines Public Relations Manager.
The OPPO F5 was launched last October 26, 2017 garnering more than 33,000 unit sales on its first week, and a consistent top seller in the mid-range smartphone category since launch, according to the ranking of nationwide smartphone dealer Memo Xpress.

We love our Healthy Human water bottles. There is no need to add ice cubes in it because the water is still cold after 8 hours has passed. It is sturdy and the matte finish is good to avoid little scratches. It has a soft cloth cover for each but I bought another cover with handle that can be used as shoulder strap from the Japan thrift stores.

We got the 21oz insulated stainless steel water bottles.
