11:40PM Very obsessed with art...  A Dark Samurai, Lizard Knight and a bodiless blue skeleton(I kinda found this monster in Castlevania videogame series). Took me more than an hour including experementation, colouring, etc. 06:56PM Another art which took me more than 2 hours including the coloring of the art and some other things to do.   The uncolored and the edited/colored version... I've been a bit art obsessive as of late due to excessive staring of some ART/CG sites... 08:11AM And yet another one added to ART GALLERY...  This drawing is based off on this one from this gallery. |

09:27PM Was thinking of designing this site's official logo... Here's the initial design:  This is not a butterfly... It's sort of like window with colors which matches my site's frequently/commonly used colors (Blue, white, orange and dark gray )then placing a Parchment texture pattern. Might change it if it's not the decided offical design.Designed this logo by using Fireworks 8. 07:04AM  Finally reached over 5k+ of views since this site first started (11.27.06). I'd like to thank the viewers of this site for visiting...  Most of my viewers comes from Japan by 52%(wOw!), Then from Canada bt 8%, and so on... Didn't expect that Japan (the country where my figures are originally from) would be the most biggest hits in my site. Well... I think it should be expected though cuz it's part of their hobby. So, one would take a look to the other's site viewing for reviews, photos, blogs, etc. |

08:27PM  Comic Party Hasebe Aya gallery is up. 04:22PM  Got these today. All three of them are from HobbyLink Japan. WAVE To Heart2 Kousaka Tamaki (Girlhood ver.) WAVE To Heart2 Manaka Komaki (SwimWear ver.) Kotobukiya Comic Party Hasebe Aya Both Tamaki and Komaki figures were on an inventory sale at 50% off weeks ago till stocks lasts, I think... And managed to request an order of Hasebe Aya figure since the status was already Out of Stock since long ago... didn't expect that they'd really do something about customer requests. Putting up a review on three of them anytime soon. And will be expecting to receive my Kotobukiya Kureha from Wasabitoys this week. |

07:00PM Thought of jotting up the important things from the anime show "WAGAYA NO OINARI-SAMA". The following notes are from the last few minutes of the show provided by the subbers[Static-Subs]. At least this I can provide since I'm not good or don't know how to review the show. EP 01: 「お稲荷さま。封印解かれる / Oinari-sama. Fuuin Tokareru」 EP 02: 「お稲荷さま。我が家に住みつく / Oinari-sama. Wagaya ni Sumitsuku」 KOKUTENZAN 「黒天山」 - One of the mountain in Kyoto. In Mid-August, Five Mountains are lit on fire in a controlled manner as guidance for spirits to come and go. Kokutenzan is one of them, located north of the city of Kyoto. Amongst the Five Phases, Water represents the Northern direction. KUMIHIMO 「組紐」 - An artistic accessory that can be traced all the way back to the Jyoumon era (1,000 BC), and started to develop into the present form about 1,000 years ago in Kyoto. Now it's an item easily found in gift shops, but it was previously a highly valued item for nobles. Kuu braids her hair into one so it can act as a portable specter ward. ----------------- Be back for the episode 1 notes as I am yet to watch the first episode which is subbed by SS(Static-Subs). The first subbed version which I saw was from Kiss-Ayako which has no notes provided in the end of the show. |

08:06PM  Gotta do something with these messy wirings soon... And under my computer/work table haven't been cleaned up for a year or so now.. so many dust bunnies/ gray cottons residing there... 
A Philips DVD Player (DVP4050) which was given to us by my Dad's friend. It's been 3 months since it was just sleeping on the box in my room now...Still have to find a TV tuner which has a video/audio input/output for my pc... since I don't have space to put a TV on my room so I decided to use the monitor as the output to watch some DVDs there... and I'm still considering on buying a PS2... I missed playing SRW games... |

09:54AM  Found this cat at the back of the water pump machine at our garage earlier this morning.. was wondering where did he/she come from.. and it seems harmless and would let me pet him/her head. Instead of sending the cat away, we gave him/her food to eat. Seems like I've been fond of cats after all our dogs passed away/died one after the other (all because of ticks and fleas) last year. Now, we have 6 cats all in all but one is missing... my fave cat. Orz *Update[04.17/08 @ 08:14PM]: This cat is a "she" She may be a stray but she's adorable... hope she doesn't have disease or our cat would end up dead again... |

07:20PM (ANIME REVIEW) WAGAYA NO OINARI-SAMA EP01: Oinari-Sama, the Seal is Broken  The first episode starts of with an old  Noboru and Tooru went to their Grandma's place as they were being called by their uncle and told them that their grandmother was in her deathbed, in order to lure them to where they are now. (Who would visit a demonic grandma without a reason?! even I can relate that.) ... ... ... ... ... BAH! I'm not up to this stuff... just watch the show, it's much better than reading reviews anyway... ^^; I'll put up a good review someday... probably... that day wouldn't come... Heheh.. Time to go watch 2nd episode of KANOKON.. 04:57PM  Fraulein Revoltech Pocco gallery is up. |

Today, we went to a nearby town's Aqua Park for the 5th - 6th time already.This time, we didn't visit the nearby island which is also owned by the same owner. Read the previous post here. Heard that the park was almost completely washed away by the recent flood that occured not too long ago, I think it was 2 months ago... Anyway, I just got a few photos using my phone. Didn't bring my camera along, I know it was really a waste that this is a good chance to improve my photography. Wasn't really prepared until my Dad told us that we would be visiting the park in the last minute...     Pictures were taken at the park's restaurant. There were many great views for nature photograhers along the way too... |

11:08PM My Kawasumi Mai told me that she had better be going back inside her box else, she'll lean even more...  I've been doing some of the method Danny posted on his blog (for awhile now) but still, the figure would still pull the matrix stunt... I used hot and cold water. Firstly, I dip in the leaning leg onto the hot water till it gets soft. Then, tried to attach her back onto her base then adjusting the leg position backwards until it is back to normal. Thereafter, placed it in the cold water for half an hour till the leaning part hardens. Bah.. decided to put her back to the window box... leaning figures are uglier than being on the box. Anyway, requested/ordered Kotobukiya Aya Hasebe(Comic Party) in Nightdress from HLJ. Hope that they'd re-stock it soon... 07:24PM A nice MV by an Otaku (i think). via Danny Choo. Vocaloid version... |
