UNBOXING: SEVENTEEN FML Albums

Collection June 22, 2023

A fangirl's happiness is when she unboxes the albums of her favorite group.

I miss writing contents like this. The last unboxing post I made was my SEVENTEEN Membership Kit. Although I had a lot of other albums and merch that I unboxed the past months, I wasn't able to post about it. I'll try to catch up with postings in the following weeks and months.

But for today, I'll be sharing SEVENTEEN's latest album (as of writing), FML. This comeback has two title tracks which are Super and F*ck My Life.

I pre-ordered the main versions through Universal Music Store Japan because they will be giving codes for an offline event in Japan which unfortunately I didn't won any. But still, it's worth the try. Meanwhile, the carat versions, I pre-ordered it from Aling Chulien since they offer a sure-member cover.

FML Albums

Pre-Order Benefit

Like what I have mentioned earlier, I pre-ordered my albums. Since I bought the regular ones at UMS Japan, their POB are photocards. These photocards are random. That's why I was so shocked that I got the 97-line.

One thing that I don't like about UMS POBs though is the photocards are not the same size with the photocards in the albums. This is a bit longer. So my usual sleeves don't fit these photocards. The good thing though, they still fit in my photocard binder.

Fight for My Life version

For the main albums, there are three versions. Although they have same inclusions - CD, folded poster, two random photocards, random sticker, bookmark, photobook, and lyric book - they have different concepts. For the Fight for My Life version, they are in a boxing ring. So most of their looks here are sporty.

I got Jeonghan and Seungkwan for the random photocards, DK for the random sticker, and Dino for the random bookmark. And I realized something while I'm writing this blog, I haven't actually browsed through the photobook. I think I should do that after writing this.

Faded Mono Life Version

With the three versions, this one is my favorite. Not only because it's pink, but in terms of the concept photos, this is where I can relate the most - SEVENTEEN in their corporate era. Although I can say that I haven't been in a corporate set up for a long time, I feel that this concept is also for anyone who is working. Adulting is indeed hard and here is SEVENTEEN sympathizing with you.

I got Woozi and Vernon for the random photocards, Hoshi for the random sticker, and DK for the random bookmark.

Fallen Misfit Lost Version

When I was unboxing these albums in Japan, this version was the first version I opened. I haven't edited my Japan vlog and unboxing video huhu. I was so surprised that Wonwoo is the first photocard that I pulled.

I was really so frustrated with my Face The Sun albums because I bought a whole set and I didn't even pull even one photocard of Wonwoo. That's why I was so happy and surprised that I got him.

The other photocard that I got was S.Coups. For the random sticker, I got Woozi. And for the random bookmark, I got S.Coups.

Carat Version

Joshua

For the carat version, the member inside is actually random. But thanks to Aling Chulien, they offered a sure-member version. So, I bought Joshua's and Wonwoo's versions. I really like how the carat version looks like. The drawing was so pleasing to my eyes. Aside from that, I also like the wedding theme of this version. It really shows how SEVENTEEN is with us in every phases of our lives.

The carat version includes a binder (which I was surprised that it was small compared to the previous carat versions), 24 member photocard, CD, lyric book, and 4 random photocards. For the random photocards, I got Mingyu, The8, Vernon, and Seungkwan.

Wonwoo

For Wonwoo's version, I got Vernon, The8 (which is the same photocard with the one I pulled on Joshua's), Wonwoo, and Joshua. I was so happy here since my I got my biases in one album - Wonwoo and Joshua. This is the first time that has happened to me.

I'm still looking for a Jeonghan photocard wherein he also had a half-heart pose so that I can pair him with Joshua (oh yes my OTP is Jihan).

Overall, I'm so happy with my pulls in this album. I can't wait to unbox SEVENTEEN's new albums again soon. Hoshi just spoiled that they will be having another comeback on October. But before that, they will be having their Japan comeback this August, with Always Yours.

Hotel Edoya: A Good Place to Stay in Tokyo for Solo Travelers

Lifestyle June 21, 2023

I had a great experience with Hotel Edoya

When I got the news that I won a ticket for SEVENTEEN's Love Fanmeeting in Tokyo Day 2, I immediately researched for a place to stay. There are three things that I was looking for with my accommodation: near the venue (Tokyo Dome), cheap, and has a private bathroom. Hotel Edoya has those three.

I booked it through Booking.com and I'm so glad that I was able to book it early because a few days later everything was already booked.

In this blog, I'll be sharing to you the pros and cons staying here in Hotel Edoya.

Pros of staying in Hotel Edoya

It is one station away from Tokyo Dome

When I was searching it on Google maps, I honestly thought that it will take me about an hour to go to Tokyo Dome from the hotel. But when I was in Tokyo already, I was shocked that it was only one train station away. In fact, if I had more time, I would have probably just walked from Tokyo Dome to my hotel since it's less than 2km away.

It's spacious yet budget-friendly

Don't mind the mess lol

For a solo traveler like me, I was actually looking for just a capsule hotel since it's cheap and I barely stay inside the hotel. But when I compared the price from the capsule hotel and with this solo room in Hotel Edoya, there's only a few difference. That's why I decided to go with Hotel Edoya.

It was really spacious especially if you're alone. Well, even if there's two of you, it will still be spacious.

It has complete amenities

Just like normal hotels, Hotel Edoya also has towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair dryer, and more. The bed, as you may have seen in the photo above, is also comfortable. I am used to with sleeping in the floor that's why I didn't have any hard time sleeping there. There was also an aircon, a TV, a small refrigerator.

It has a complimentary breakfast

Although I'll be honest, I wasn't able to eat any breakfast from the hotel because I always leave early in the morning. So, I had no time to eat breakfast. But the good thing here is that, they give you vouchers wherein you can use it to eat the breakfast offered by the hotel.

The staff are very friendly

Although some of them do not speak in English, they are still very helpful and respectful to you. They will try their best to explain everything and help you. They always greet you too whenever they see you.

Cons of staying in Hotel Edoya

The hotel is located at the top

Yes. It's near the train stations. BUT, you have to walk a steep path in order to go to the hotel from the train station. It was already a bit tiring to walk without any luggage, but imagine walking with a big luggage? I was literally out of breath. I even tried the less steeper path but still tiring.

So, they highly suggest that instead of walking, take a taxi to the hotel. But since I'm on a budget, I decided to just walk.

The comfort room is small

For a small and thin person to say that something is small means it is really small. If I had a hard time with the comfort room, what more the other people bigger than me? Although I have read in some blogs that Japan's comfort rooms are really small but I didn't expect it to be this small.

The good thing though is that the comfort room is different from the bathroom where you can take a shower. That one is a bit spacious.

Overall comment

Overall, I still think this place is a good one especially for solo travelers on a budget. Aside from the room being spacious, you can also experience the Japanese style hotel without paying much. Actually, I think I got more than what I actually paid for. Comparing it with the hotels here in the Philippines, I believe this is cheaper with all the things offered by this hotel.

If given the chance to go back to Tokyo, I will definitely consider staying at this hotel again. Although I'm still open to staying on a capsule hotel, and a hotel near Minato City because I really loved that place.
