White Day

To start the week, we got the White Day celebration! Originated in Japan, White Day has a close correlation with Valentine's Day. Typically, as we know, Valentine's Day is mostly celebrated by girls by giving their loved ones a gift, so on White Day, the reverse happens: boys give reciprocal gifts to those who gave them gifts on Valentine's Day. If you noticed, the date falls the same as Valentine's, just a month after. You could say it's one way of saying thank you, or even to answer the girl's love confession.

Got any Valentine's gifts, boys? Better return the favor!

GTA is always in demand and it gets better! The remastered version of Grand Theft Auto V is releasing on March 15th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S!

The original was released way back in 2013, so expect good changes in the remastered version such as even smoother graphics mode with up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. Game developer Rockstar also states that there will be improvements in texture, draw distance, as well as HDR options, and ray-tracing. It also offers technical advancements like faster loading times, immersive 3D audio, advanced haptic feedback, and more!

Go get your game consoles ready!

For you anime lovers, you might be excited to hear this one. Manga adaptation Jujutsu Kaisen is releasing their first movie, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 which will be available in cinemas near you! This serves as the prequel before the plot of the anime series that resides on the story of Yuji Itadori. Instead, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 tells the tale of Yuta Okkotsu, a high school student who is haunted by his childhood friend's spirit, Rika, who died in a traffic accident. The lovely girl he once knew had turned into a monstrous creature who protects Yuta against his will.

To control Rika's curse on him, Yuta got the help from jujutsu sorcerer's mighty mentor Satoru Gojo and had him join the Jujutsu High. Along with Yuta's story, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will shine a light more on Satoru Gojo's most trusted students, Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki, and Panda.

The attention the film had received in Japan is outstanding. Until early February 2021, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 gained Rp 1,3 billion profit alone and it's believed that it will receive a similar enthusiasm from fans around the world. Known for its exceptional graphics, the most awaited shounen anime movie will be available to watch at the theaters starting March 16th. Book your tickets now!

Get ready motorsports enthusiast, the fun is about to start! The 2nd series of MotoGP World Championship will take place from March 18th to March 20th in the new and beautiful Mandalika International Street Circuit here at home!

The 2022 season begins on March 6th and this season will be the longest in history with 21 races scheduled to take place across 17 countries. Six manufacturers with 12 teams and 24 riders will participate in the 2022 competition. Last year Moto2's champion Remy Gardner and runner-up Raul Fernandez will enter the MotoGP class with Tech3 KTM. With Valentino Rossi's missing presence due to his retirement which was announced last season, who will shine this year?

Not only the MotoGP World Championship, but the F1 Championship also starts this week and it will be held in Bahrain International Circuit. The drivers from 10 teams will race for 57 laps of the 5.412 km of Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir. The free practice round starts on March 18th with its third round that will culminate on 19th March. On 20th March, the championship begins!

Changes are made to the aerodynamics and tires of the F1 cars. Unlike the old-school ground effect, the new car will have fins underneath instead of sliding skirts, to minimize any disturbance. The new car will also feature over-wheel winglets for the first time, and a feature that's making a comeback after 13 years, wheel covers! The tires also will change from 13 inches to 18 inches in order to reduce overheating.

However, due to the current Russian war, driver Nikita Mazepin is not eligible to participate in the competition. Guanyu Zhou becomes the first Chinese driver to make his full Grand Prix debut since he advanced from Formula 2 to replace Giovinazzi. Who are you rooting for?


There you go, five things happening this week on the third week of March. Have a fun week ahead!
