For Starters, the most important news :

Happy Birthday Tanaka Reina !!!!

Well i didnt know its her birthday if i didnt take a look at the news updates in the Facebook Group and Forums, gomenasai ne Tanaka-san

Today, is my first ever road violation hearing that i mention few blogs ago.

I arrived way too early at 7 am. while the hearing is at 9 am...but i dont wanna be late and since i only have vague idea about the location of the court, so i took it early just in case i get lost which i did...but i didnt got lost that far away...

So the hearing was exceptionally in time, and fast tho its extremely crowded.

I got fined about....$2.5, its surprisingly...nice of them :)

Well all i can say is...i rather pay the fine at the hearing than bribe the "corrupted"

But one thing bothers me, The court should have a parking spot for motorbikes, its like wth...i need to park outside ? while i know Surabaya maybe safer than Jakarta, i prefer being caution.

And thats all for today :)

PS : Ah, will be waiting Hot Toys Jack Sparrow and Hot Toys Superman on the way, Also Revoltech Danboard Amazon Mini Ver. which i'm currently have them on pre-order sales :)

Figma Strength

2011-10-31T10:50:00.001-07:00

And here it is ! Figma Strength The Review; Tho it might be a lousy one.....but lets get on with it..

Figma Strength, one of the (maybe) prominent character design and story in the anime, tho the movie that they include with BRS only shows a bit of her appearance and doesn't even give the slightest clue whether she's an enemy or an ally.

The Box

Yellow Checkered Design..tho i wonder why yellow.......perhaps its because of her eyes color ? well i have no idea seriously.

And this is the back view of the box, which is common with the rest of the BRS line box or any of the figma. It shows the character with some poses that you might want to use when you display her on the shelf or any other places.

Thats how the blister looks ! Pretty simple and easy to see, since both of her "weapon" displayed right next to her...Yup, She's a gorilla...an android gorilla to be simple.

As usual with other figma, she came with multiple palm poses, base, and four black sticks that can be used for posing her gigantic arms...since with some poses, her gigantic arms need some help defying the gravity :(

Her logo/tattoo/symbol, I have no idea to be exact since its seriously still in the dark.

The back view of her body...i really like the bow at the end of her outfit, and the bone-tail which is similar with Dead Master horns but Strength tail is a flexible PVC, even though you cant really adjust on where the tail goes.......

She is my new favorite, well since I left most of my figures at my home..until my other orders comes up, she might be replaced..but don't count on it, I love her gigantic arms <3

And here comes the scoring~

While I really like the gigantic arms and how each of the fingers are poseable, The fingers themselves are kinda fragile and while its quite hard to move at the first time, it became quite loose the next you pose them tho its not that loose (luckily)

On the other hand, I've tried to balanced her with one foot standing without base help and I did it; which is quite a treat since i didn't expect she's able to.

I have lots of fun playing with her thus I can say she deserved an 8/10.

PS : Did I mention that she's the first Figma with clothes that can be casted off ?

THE Loots

2011-10-30T09:06:00.000-07:00

The most important loots of my life

Morning Musume - Fukumura Mizuki Merchandise

T-shirt + Wristpad

Keyring

Photosets

Its not as many as i would like, but currently i'm really short on cash :(

Low Quality Pictures ahead, bare with me....

This two pics below is my favorites, since they're metallic sheets

SHINY !!!! * o *

She's an angel indeed <3

This is the t-shirt that i bought tho sadly i got the L size which somehow a bit bigger than i expected...i would order an S size on later order.

There isnt much i can say about the loots, other than i'm so happy about it :3

So this is the rest of the photosets <3

I almost forgot to write it here !!!

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY FUKU CHAAAAAAAAAN <3

Wishing You getting more lines and even solo songs also more energy to Your dance, and as for Your character...You already mesmerize me <3

Road Violation

2011-10-30T08:57:00.001-07:00

Today, i marked a history of my life...tho its not even worthy to be marked but whatever...

I went into a wrong lane of the roads which deliberately guarded by the police, and as usual as this "beloved" country system works...they are giving hints of "you may bribe", which i clearly decline...since the only amount of money you could get from me is like......$1 only where they may get offended and sue me to a bigger lawsuit...

thus my trial sets at 11-11-2011, a great date...which i hope leads to an easy smooth trial.

Settling In

2011-10-26T18:21:00.000-07:00

And so, from my previous post...i'm in another town atm. and just got my net backed up :3

So...while am tryin to get a job soon...there's just a few things i'm able to post and so on...

The only figure i have is Figma Strength..since i left all my figures back at home, and yesterday i just got my Morning Musume - Fukumura Mizuki sets...of Tshirt - Wristband, several photosets, and a keychain...cost a bit, but am happy since this is the first time i'm actually supporting them.

updates on those soon ^_^

Revolting For Life

2011-09-29T20:08:00.000-07:00

Life is a bit messy lately due my decisions for moving to another town..hard disagreement from mom, well i can see from her viewpoints...but its not like i havent thought about it, i know its going to be tough...But my life have been easy..i dont dislike it but there are so many things going on that built up my stress around thus i made up my decision.

This made few things to set back, my passion for figure definitely gonna get cut very hard..Tho i'll keep blogging about stuffs that i'm able to.....

such as..The 10th Generation Morning Musume Members are selected; and my dark horse Masaki Sato is chosen :)

There are 4 new members; Kubo Haruna, Ishida Ayumi, Masaki Sato, and....Iikubo Haruna (gotta look again for the last name)

And i've been watching a lot of Gaki no Tsukai series, had a blast tho this early morning while i'm laughing watching them..again, my mom sets the mood to a complete negative for again requesting me to rethought my decision..AFTER we just had final discussion just a few days ago...i'm not angry to her, its just...she should've acknowledge that i've made up my decisions...at least she could be supportive.....

i'll be blogging about them if i have the mood later at night...

Fukumura Mizuki

2011-09-01T18:54:00.000-07:00

The latest addition in Morning Musume line, 9th Generation Fukumura Mizuki a.k.a Fuku-chan/Mii-chan/Mizu Pon~ and somehow her chara color is pink replacing/sub Michisige Sayumi ?

The 9th Generation added while the 8th Generation Junjun & Linlin also Kamei Eri graduated, and because Junjun is my most fav member as you can see she have her own page in my blog..its kinda hit me quite a bit thus kinda ignoring the coming of 9th Generation (gomenasai !)

Fukumura Mizuki was in H!P Eggs thus her capability is above average, she even didnt go through the usuall audition...well i mean she audition for it but she got cut in the middle for some reason..no idea, i havent done watching the clips yet...i havent even finish downloading it.....

But i must say, she's extremely cute <3 And lately, i can say that she's hot too @_@

She struck me in Hello Pro Time episode 5 where Tanaka Reina bring her and Suzuki Kanon to karaoke ! It was her first *gyaaa* lol...i meant first time going into karaoke bar~ She was nervous when requesting the room and noticed that she's left handed !!!

Suzuki Kanon kinda doubting on her being shock when she entered the karaoke room panicking asking if she's real XD i mean like asking if she's really shock...lol and the food ordering was funny :3

And it didnt stop there.......she's ordering a song, and didnt notice that she havent turn on the mic until reina point it out...lol She have a wonderful voice >w<

I cant even think what else to write about her since all i can say is, she's the whole complete package.

Oh...and my gf is kinda looks like her a bit <3

Updates !

So i'm updating new information about her :D

B.O.D : 30 Oct 1996

Sign : Scorpio

Blood type : O (yay, same as me)

Height : 150.8

Specialty : Drawing Comics

(taken from Indonesian Morning Musume Forum)

So i've been watching some of the clips and i noticed that she did apply for the 9th generation Morning Musume members but cut short and when the announcement of those who are chosen as 9th Gen members, Tsunku the producer announce that there's another person that will be joining the 9th Gen member from H!P eggs member...at that moment, even Fukumura didnt know that she was picked..thus when her name was called out..she surprised and began crying (i'm pretty sure its happy tears...lol) and said her grateful for being chosen...And for me, i'm grateful that i'm able to......hmm......support her from a far...lol.

But i'm planning to buy few of her merchandise such as shirt, photos, wristband, and others...i just wish i'm able to watch Morning Musume while she's still in the group...please HP let them perform in somewhere near....such as Singapore or even Malaysia if Indonesian isnt included as good future concert plan.

<3 Otsukare Fukumura San <3

Another updates !

After i watch her Greeting DVD and Hello Pro Time eps. 20~ i'm adding new information :D

1. "Fuku-chan" was given by Tsunku (Hello Project Producer)

2. Her close friend from eggs was selected to be a part of another group S/mileage

3. Her dog name Kurara (Female, 7 yo, eats tomato and tofu, & timid)

Prize F - Boa Hancock

2011-08-20T05:21:00.000-07:00

So here we are again with my latest figure, Ichibankuji Prize F - Boa Hancock which is quite similar with the previous Prize F, with some different design/color/misc such as :

Blue Eye Color, which is odd...i dont remember her eyes color is blue @_@
Kuja Pirates Pattern on her skirt
Larger Eyes
Larger "Eyes"
A minor color addition on her upper dress button
Different background paper

Thats about it....i think..I actually prefer the winking eyes from the previous ones compared to the latest ones..but i wont argue it much since i lost the previous ones...

I'll let you decide, which is better ? The First or The Later ?

The First Prize F

The Latest Prize F

it seems the picture itself, cant be opened in larger size....guess in the next post, i'll post pictures in large size then....mark this post as the end of medium size pic post.

Sen Yuurei no Matsuri 2011 ~Day Two~

2011-08-01T21:43:00.001-07:00

Here we go again, Day Two Sen Yuurei no Matsuri 2011 !

Sorry for a late post, but its a hectic trying to choose pictures that i'm going to put in the post @_@

I came early in morning again this time, yet i somehow missed the opening band and its already gather lots of crowd while the MC already giving some speech or sort of advertisement about the event.

And we goes to the first show, which is cosplay cabaret...have no idea what are they playing...but they seems like touhou sort of play...kinda simple but there's lots of action..fighting, dancing, singing, drama~

Then followed with OPJ (Opera Pan Japan) which is a cosplay drama theaterical or something like that....their cosplay mostly are from tokusatsu series as you can see from the picture below and i must say, they are quite entertaining as they actually have a storyline and gags

i love those shocker soldiers !!!!!!

Later on, another band performance by Kyuubi. Look who's there that i'm familiar with ?! At first i thought "hmmm no way" then she said her name..its Tika from On Project ! or i should say an ex-member of On Project!

I wonder why she left the group, but in the band...i dont think she would shine as fast as she would in the dance group, but oh well..good luck :)

After that i take a break and scout around for cosplayers, I must say that there are lots of them but sadly i wish there were more ghost related cosplay since this is Sen Yuurei no Matsuri...but i dont complain much since there are more great cosplay than the previous events.

First, we have the maid ! A cute looking maid that is......she'll snatch your soul while pouting in nyan pose~

Then there's this..duo swordman(?), bishounen dakara~ great-awesome cosplay tho..they really put a lengthy effort for their costume, make up, wig, and props.

And here is my fav cosplayer ! a random female ninja from leaf village; Why she become my favorite ? well..she's cute..tho i dont think ninja use sneakers.......lol but the main thing is..she still do pose even when her ankle hurts..she even having a hard time walking but she pulled out a smile for the camera *hiks*

Then we have luka ! tho i initially thought she's cosplaying louise...should've know it from the group of vocaloids running around....she post a comment on my facebook album confirming it..which surprise me, a pleasant surprise it is :3

Then while i was still walking around, i found rinoa giggling, and i get the shot...she looks pretteh XD

And below, our beautiful cosplayer competition judge ! She's cosplaying Tear from Tales of Abyss, she's pretty cold judge but impressive nonetheless.

Gedou Shinkenreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed ! great outfit and great props...with great attitude...what doesnt it have ? sugoi !

One of the awesome obake cosplay, they come in a group...or duo...cant remember clearly. The make up, outfit and props they use are in another level from other cosplayers.

One of the player from OPJ, his outfit is pretty well made..and he jump off the stage which is pretty high and still land graciously !

Dont slash me !!! EEEEeeeeeeeekkk !!!!

No idea, but the awesomeness aura reeks out as you can see from the pic...the detail of the mask is incredible.

White knight something....pretty alright, detailed..and the spear is can be split into two !

Epic cosplay of a zombie, same like the above..i have no idea if they are in the same group but the make up of this cosplayer is impressive, she/he even put the music for her advantage; Definitely the top 5 cosplayers if i'm the judge.

Dead Master cosplay !!!! Eventhough she doesnt have the looks for DM, but she gets her dress, scythe, horns and shoes as she should...so its a great cosplay, wish she put more effort on her expression tho....

Taiko Drummerrrrrrrrrrs !! I was right in the front line looking at them and record them in my cellphone (tho sadly i wont be uploading it for now coz its take ages to upload it, unless someone can tell me how to reduce the size without butchering the video quality as the sound quality is already as bad as it is).

They perform consecutively for about 20 minutes non stop playing in different pose, dancing while beating the drums...impressive !

Then another band, Jakarta Keion Club which consist of four Japanese and one Indonesian; From what i heard, they dont take salary for their performance O_O

The female vocalist is funny ! She quickly break the ice with the audience with her joke in Indonesian...then when the guitarist sang Seiya Phantasy, the crowd goes wild...even i catch the heat, shouting along the song...its the greatest moment of my life; I want to hear them more !

After that all, we continue again to second part of cosplay competition, Ah do note that not all cosplayers performing are in this post..some are unable to post coz blurriness of the shot :(

There are a lot of Tokusatsu cosplayers tho @_@ Here we have...ermm agito ? i like his belt..its shinning.....lol

This is another obake cosplay that i like, titled "Angel of Death". Pretty gore cosplay because he brought a head chained on a steel chain and he "eat" the head....talk about brutal...hahahaha

An impressive white knight cosplay...i really like the design of the char and the sheild, its looks perfect !

And the final day of the event, i stayed long enough to listen one of the song sang by the band "Samurai Blue" which have a group of fans gathering in front of the stage.

And thats it, i got too tired and went home...am sorry that i'm unable to cover the Obake Theater and Shuriken from day one along with Amakusa, Bon Odori, and the Hanabi from the day two..hontouni gomenasai :(

But lack of spaces to sit around really cramp my legs...and i read that some customers of obake yashiki complained about line cutting and the long wait period...guess its way above their prediction...

This conclude of my reviews of Sen Yuurei no Matsuri 2011, Thankyou for reading ! And see you on the next event, which i think around 18-25 December in Monas....tho i cant be there at 25th cause of my friends wedding.

*the same as before, all pic copyrighted by me ! Those who is/are the model/s from related pic may use it freely

Sen Yuurei no Matsuri 2011 ~Day One~

2011-07-31T22:23:00.000-07:00

So, i'm back ! lol....sorry for those who're waiting (like there's any - _ -)

I've been attending the latest japanese event hold by Nippon Club from Binus University; Its Sen Yuurei no Matsuri which literally means Festival of 1000 Ghost, tho sadly i'm unable to hold out til the end of the event since i've been there from morning...

At first day, we had lots of band, quizzes, karaoke competition, eating dorayaki competition, a katana-showdown, and more bands.

So as soon as i arrived there, i'm greeted with a band "Tomodachi" (if i'm not mistaken) which is pretty good for an opening band :)

There arent many people at that time even though its Saturday, guess its still too early somehow...

Followed by another band "Ohayou" that dressed in their PJs, coz you know...its ohayooooou...lol

They are quite great, the vocalist is small but her voice is loud.

Next ! Samurai Showdown !!! well not really...its an introducing on how to sheath and release the katana from the saya (kanata..err holder ?) and also demonstration on how sharp it is by cutting down tatami into several pieces..its quite a treat seeing that live.

More info on them Go To here

Then after that, there's a competition for anime dubbing, some of them are pretty good and the judges are pretty solid.

Above is the pic for the entire participant for the dubbing competition, which i dont know who won it since i went home before the announcement...but i'm pretty confident its the third girl from the left (the left side of the girl with white hair and green cape)

Above is the whole pic again along with the judges, those two males with blue shirt, the long hair dub as Suneo from Doraemon and the short hair dub as Kogoro Mouri from Detective Conan along with the women between them dub Naruto in Naruto and Luffy in One Piece.

And followed by another band, Honey Beat ! I forgot what songs that they sing..sadly when i went to buy their cd, their staff already pack their stuffs away...i mean the Honey Beats staff, not the event staff...was lookin forward listening it, but i guess its a no-go for now...

Their performance is rock solid

After that, there's another show...tho i wonder if this gonna be covered by any TV station coz there isnt any TV crew around as i can see...

"Wish Come True"

An event held by Nuu Green Tea, giving free stuffs as their campaign...but somehow i kinda doubt it since i rarely hear about it and the first winner who gets a scooter says something sort of advertisement.

But anyway, a well known actress Titi Kamal is one of the host/guest speaker..she looks different than usual but meh~; Then they held a contest "Who can drink the most"

The winner is the guy on the right for drinking 5 bottles

A participant vomit for over drinking, and she only drank 1-2 bottles.

Then there's a karaoke competition, which all of it consist of Japanese songs; There ar

e a few solid ones, and there're alot more that need practice..but they got balls for it, so applaud to them.

This time, i record them !!! But let me warn you...do not open it in high volume....since i record them using my cellphone...which is quite bad......since the sound sometimes went zerk...and pardon me for shaky images since i held them with my hand only :(

mehh it seems that it took a loooooooong time to upload video...so this is the only one for now, unless for some reason someone asking for a spesific video, then i might upload it later on.

As for the final event in day one (for me), its an instrumental band "Momiji". They are quite great, but its just not my type of song genre they're playing with.....

While we're waiting for the karaoke video to uploaded, lets talk about the stands in the event; First we have the usual dorayaki stand, takoyaki stand, okonomiyaki stand, ice cream stand, obake yashiki stand a.k.a. ghost house~ sadly i'm unable to experience it since i'm busy covering the on-going events...

There's also a small comiket, which consist of few artist..like around 4-5 stands...pretty sad but its great in a way that i never seen them anywhere else before ! bought 2 doujins...which kinda interest me.

There's a corner for draw your face into a manga ! which i was going to take, but kinda held back at that moment for obviously the line is pretty long....but i'll get it in another day.

And then...hummm...ahh ! there's a manga paper for sale..which i have no idea what are they trying to do beside selling the manga paper...and there are lots of people drawing in their booth, and i mean not their staffs..everyone ! and some of them have pretty good drawings.

Also i spot a figure stand that sell bootlegged figures..........its like WTF, coz seriously that stand alone leave a little dent to event credibility..at least for me.

And last but not least, there's that catch a fish using a small round shape of paper thingy...well you know...that........catch a fish game.

Loose tight HG FOOOOOOOOOOO!

Miku busy playing her cellphone

The Loot from Day One

Do read the second day later on nee~ its full of cosplayers ! cute ones and cool ones !!! even scary ones........

*all pics are copyrighted by me mwahahhahahah those who is/are the model/s may use it as their will.

another random post

2011-07-19T02:47:00.000-07:00

Well as you might see, i'm kinda slacking down - _ -

Many things happened, and going to..such as...am applying for a job in a hospital, but my hobby havent changed..tho this time, slightly reduced.

Am having a hard time living with my family since i cant do many things....but for now i have many figures collected and coming in, The latest orders are Hot Toys Jack Sparrow DX, Hot Toys Superman, Figma STR, and few Boa Hancock figures~ until end of this month

As you might see/know, Hot Toys isnt actually a japanese brand~ but its still a figure plus i dont like going into Enterbay which have relation with Medicom since i heard lots of bad bird whispers around.

I'll try to post more often, as in daily basis :3

thats it for now, last but not least : Kudos to Japan for winning the female football world championship or something~ Omedeto Gozaimasu !!! Nippon Banzai !

Am skipping a lot again T_T

2011-06-30T21:19:00.000-07:00

gaahhhhh, guess its pretty hard of me to keep writing stuffs @_@

wish i have that mood again, but not here...not at my own home...weird, isnt it ?

yeah..i got everything here...

food all i can eat

bed where i can sleep

no worries bout bills

but no......all these have kept me down..even it began to be stressful for me.....i want to get out..to be with the one i want to be..

hope i wont be crazy due the stress trying to make that happen....

Its only the fairy tale

2010-12-11T04:31:00.000-08:00

Who are those litle girls in pain

just trapped in the castle of dark side of moon

twelve of them shining bright in vain

like flower that blossom just once in years

they're dancing in the shadow

like whisper of love

just dreaming of a place

where they're free as dove

they've never allowed

to love in this cursed cage

its only the faity tale they believe

they're dancing in the shadow

like whisper of love

just dreaming of a place

where they're free as dove

they're never been allowed

to love in this cursed cage

its the only the fairy tale they believe

Alyssa Searrs / My - Hime

===========================

A word that holds a strong emotion none like others...Love...so strong, the holder of that emotion need someone else to hold it else it turns into a millions of needle piercing ones' heart.

Perhaps my heart never meant to live in this world, it has been torn apart bits by bits leaving scars all over, howling pain, screaming "i am here", "dont ignore me", "what went wrong?", "i'm sorry" and yet it still never give up loving...

I Love You.

============================

Uncertainty

2010-11-14T09:27:00.000-08:00

Once a calmness wrap around
Giving a glimpse of warmth
A smile with happiness

Yet

A sudden gush of wind
Create a bone chilling cold
It become a whirlwind and flew me away

Far away

There's only uncertainty in the wind
Will i survive ?
Will someone help me ?

Uncertainty

I do know, that i will be hurt
And
I do not know if i have enough will to survive

Will there be someone waiting for me ?
Will there be someplace i can call home ?

Photo Modelling

2010-09-25T03:31:00.000-07:00

Few days ago, my friend which have just recently finished up her make up school ask me to take shoot for her make up model try outs !

I start the day at 8 am, since we hang around a while for breakfast then she start make up-ing the models at around 11 am..there's also another photographer tag along which much better than me in experience and skills since he went to photographer class and done it.

The make up session it self drag on till around 4 pm...i was sooooo boreeeeed waiting for them to finished up..but girls will be girls........

The only and main problem is...there wasn't any sufficient lightning source in the set.....so we went as good as it get....

few of the *already edited* photo shoots :)

And that's about it...i guess, there will be another photo shoot tho :)

Figma & Japan Animation Festival

2010-09-24T20:46:00.000-07:00

The newly acquired Figma !

Black Rock Shooter

Its really looks great and the body proportion are quite remarkable; but on closer inspection there are some flaws with the figure..i've spotted some mispaint, excess pvc, hard to bend jacket pegs, kinda miscolor hair joints...but overall she looks great.

She do really like just came out from the animation, i watched it before i received this figure on the internet anime web...kinda odd, but i like the anime...hmmm atmosphere ? aura ? i dunno how to call it, but you know its gonna be a great anime someday (not as great as legendary but great as great)

I havent play with her yet, since i'm kinda busy here and there...so yeah, yesterday i went watching 5cm per seconds with my BRS seller in the movie theater for japan foundation something event...

It is the greatest animation movie i ever watched in this year...using different kind of story telling, not so deep character description..tho at the part III i'm kinda confused but the end was awesome.

Oh and there's also Doraemon on the spot !!!! i thought it was a midget cosplaying but as time went, i'm convinced that its actually a robot...lol *excuse my lame giggling*

So here is my what if drossel acquired BRS cannon....chaos...or as my gf said "palmface.jpg"

And this is what i look like most of the times.........sleepy.

And thats a wrap, everybody :)

New Phone !!! Reviewed !!!!

2010-09-05T04:37:00.000-07:00

Well this is just a minor update, since i'm kinda unable to post for a bit~

just 2 days ago, my dad suddenly came home and give all his children new phone !!! BlackBerry Bold 9700 or something~

been playing with it for a while :D

Early Shots

Back View

And this is its current look, got the body protector from my sister, she doesn't want to use Yellow...well it looks good on black (she have the white ones)

Ok, now you've seen it..its review time !!! (well kinda short review, coz i haven't test it to its fullest)

The speakers are alright
Moderate quality camera (i'm being generous)
Tiny buttons (or its my fingers that actually too big for them)
Sophisticated looking
The battery doesn't really hold up so much..pretty much drain out in 2 days (i think)
The headset is kinda not too good....either i speak too loud or too small or too windy....lol

Thats about it, i guess...ciaoz :3

New figure Arrived !

2010-08-30T02:15:00.000-07:00

Just now i woke up, my mom said there's a package arrived for me ! i was in doubt it was the package i've been waiting since the seller just sent her up at saturday but my doubt was erased as fast as i look at the description !

Yuki Miku

well sadly, i cant take any of her pictures yet coz...i'm not in the mood, quite sick and stuffs...so i put her back at her box.

hopefully i'm able to get her shot in a few days ^^

This is the only new loot that i got so fast after i posted my wishlist in one of the quite famous forum for figures~

Strong Rival wanted poster !

Boa Hancock

the reason why i bought this is because i'm kinda trying to have a big collection of Boa Hancock; Most people who are actually collecting Boa are perhaps interested in her dynamite body & beauty, but for me.......its because she have extremely odd personality and what i said earlier came second.

Ichiban kuji Prize F - Boa Hancock
Styling Star - Boa Hancock (red dress)
Styling Star - Boa Hancock (white dress)
Keychain - Boa Hancock

Badly Good News

2010-08-24T06:53:00.001-07:00

Predators (2010) spoiler alert !

2010-08-21T07:48:00.000-07:00

Hell yeah ! A new predators movie :D

Not.

Seriously i had so much hope with this movie since AVP 1 & 2 kinda let me down, but guess what ? AVP 1 & 2 seems much better than this.

i like the concept on how it turns another way around where the human is actually get into (by accident or deliberately) the predators playground. It gives a new vibe for the movie since its kinda old, people with different backgrounds and from different country all of the sudden understand english (tho this might be true IF they were deliberately sent there by someone).

Look a human helper who somehow survived and he even got a predator mask; which in 5 minutes more, everyone agrees that he has gone cuckoo then betray the others by trying to suffocate them with smokes......then died by a predator in matters of seconds later on.

The predators themselves are quite blurry...i know there are four predators in the movie, one died so early i cant even remember the mask if no one uploaded his pic, one died in "honor" battle with the yakuza dude....and the last one big chief died because he's too shy to open his mask since his face is the ugliest from all of the predators & the human using the old tactic from Predator 1.

i cant speak anymore of this movie.........i rate it 2/5, 1 point for the predator design & 1 point for the movie title.

Bali (Updated with pics)

2010-08-19T09:25:00.000-07:00

A new adventure to the lost island which everyone knows more than the country itself....lol

Went vacation to bali just few days ago...it was awesome (in a way), cause i did few things i never imagined i would ever do.

first, i was using a friend ID as mine cause my friend cancel his trip for some bizarre reason and his ticket cant be taken over to someone else..so i had to change the pic on his ID to mine....it works fine (sadly...cause it means that the security in the airport are at the minimum bar)

went there with a group of 10, including myself; where most of us are highschool buddies....tho i have no idea how we become close, since i'm actully kinda introvert but kinda noticeable kid back then (noticeable by because i'm a weirdo with good grades and blacklisted student as well.....how's that for a record ? lol)

i thought bali was hot ! but i'm not complaining~ i hate heat.

went there staying at Tune hotel, Legian...quite close to Seminyak beach (5 mins walk), our trip takes up 4 days and 3 nights....and i already forgot what we did for the 1st day......seriously....

The hotel, cheap ? yes.

i only remember that we went to see Kecak Dance, you wouldnt believe how many japanese were there....i was surrounded by them...literally.

This cliff is near the Kecak dance stage...outstanding view.

this is when the great white monkey a.k.a. Hanoman, captured and was about to be burned to death by the devils but he wouldn't be called the great if he couldn't escape this.

i ate a lot since a friend of mine is a food lover, so yeah...we eat a lot.....and i mean a lot.

then there's a day where i do nothing since they went to Quicksilver (a sea tour), i didnt join them coz

i have seasick
i hate depth
i cant swim

so, i sleep more than i should......woke up at noon-ish, and went to the beach..walking around, looking at the dogs running along the beach, looking for a shell, ect til i got bored and call up my driver to drive me to the dock waiting for my friends arrived.

Tanjung Benoa.
caution : extremely windy spot; great place for paragliding, flying fish, & many others water/air activity.

plenty of these kind of boats there tho~

Then the next day, for some reason......i'm joining outbound ! i have no idea what we were gonna do.....i thought its like a camping trip, nature walk, or something......but no, its a treetops activity.

i hate height as much as i hate depth.....but i kinda beat it til the point my arms are unable to support myself..and i have to quite halfway...i was so close to the finish line...but what can i do..perhaps next time i'll beat it.

i love this shot ! The sun are just about to set behind her and i shot her along the way she was walking across and she pose just at the right moment.

small waves, big waves, as long its surfable..there will be surfers.

thats all folks :)

My new camera \(* o *)/

2010-08-19T08:42:00.001-07:00

So here it is ! Finally i obtain a dslr...tho i have no idea about it...but i could learn along the way :D

I decide to buy Canon 1000D since its good for beginners and doesnt cost an arm (need it to hold the cam); ok nuff with the jokes....kinda confusing even until now, but i'm getting to understand it step by step~

BUT it still lack in macro shoot...well what can i expect~ another macro lens cost almost the price of the cam itself...guess i need to make some greens before i can get another lens for the cam.

love it

Nippon no Hatsuyuki

2010-08-19T07:11:00.000-07:00

Or whatever it was, but its kinda close to it. It's an event held by Bina Nusantara japanese club/fan club or something (sorry for the lack of infomation about the group) ; which covering band contest, karaoke contest, cosplay contest, quiz, food battle, and more stuffs which i cant remember........not even the date (lol)

Location : Central Park, Jakarta.

All i remember is that the event started on Friday 'til Sunday, i went at Friday & Sunday only tho...missin out the Saturday event~

This is the 1st time i take my dslr cam (which i'm gonna tell you about it in another post), its kinda exciting coz i finally able to test out my photography skill to a new limit.

Well i stop blabbing now and hit you guys with the pics i obtain (i have too many of them, so i just post few of the pose that i fav)

i dont know how many times i've said this, but i will say it again...i extremely love her pose.

i cant explain why tho, but she mesmerize me with that pose.

Kamen Rider V3
i was kinda surprise that his eyes have a light switch !

Now i dont have any idea who is she, but her outfit is outstanding; quite the most recognizable cosplayer at the event.

There are some great cosplayer that i missed tho...such as skullman, maids, lolitas, ect; but i had great times and i even got called over to the stage at a point by a dancer to do some dance moves (dont ask...lol)

ON ! Project.
seems like they mostly do Buono dance routines.

pretty intense dancing, nice covers.

oh btw, they also have a facebook page.

Since i dont have any video cam, i didnt get any video clips......but if i found any in youtube, i'll post them here :)

This is it for now, but watch out for updates :D

2010-08-19T02:33:00.000-07:00

Toys Fair 2010 Jakarta, Indonesia

2010-03-13T01:04:00.000-08:00

Well i cant say much about it, since i only been there for like...4 hours and i got bored...cant find any of items that i'm looking for - _ -

But i didnt came home empty handed of course ^o^

here she is !!!

i have no idea who she is, but she's too cute for me to resist and she looked that she gonna fit perfectly as a pet for my figma & nendoroids ^ _ ^

I actually kinda confused with this TF...since it supposed to be the biggest ever, but there's nothing seems like its a professional work~

its more like toys market gathering and cosplay (and there arent that much either, or i'm just went home too fast...well my bad if its the case)

anyway....there's no schedule whatsoever about the toys fair, so i wouldnt know when or if there's any cosplay show...which is the main reason i went home early.

So i'll just buzz the rest of this post with pics from the event~

Fight For Power !!! no, not really...its just my free re-entry temporary tattoo

No, your eyes is fine..the picture is painted that way

piramid head guy from silent hill ? lol

hoards of lego armies ! FEAR THE LEGO !!! *yes, there are lots of lego merchandise in the event*

zoooooooooomed ! attack of the clone ??!!!! its starwars all over again - _ -

i told you so.

Benny & Mice cartoon (have no idea about them)

Diorama from Nightmare before Christmas (its marvelous)

Seig Heil !!! the commandant shout as the Enemies kneel before them.

This is where the Germans hang out...lol

and this is their ride.

This is where you get hold up by the Germans (with evil scientists)

Train diorama (well its a self-explanatory pictures)

And thats a wrap, thanks for reading~ tho its not really informative, but whatever....lol

Nendoroid Megurine Luka

2010-03-04T22:47:00.000-08:00

So here's another review !!! kinda review~ of nendoroid Megurine Luka !

I almost cancelled her since it took up a long time until it being shipped to me, luckly i dont~ since she's cute ! her octopus too~

I wonder what is her hair color actually........pink ? light purple ? magenta ? lemme know~

This is what you gonna get.

not so much of accessories, isnt it....well the octopus kinda make it all good tho, it got 2 tentacles moveable~ tho limited in movement.

and i wonder why is that she have one hair piece that detachable ?? not that i'm complaining, it just make me curious :3

the design is quite potrays megurine herself (well duh~)

the only thing that annoy me is her stand....it doesnt stick her quite properly, thus in a time i will need to make sure she wont fell over..other than that..she's perfect ! yet i wish there were tuna for her to hold~

R.I.P Milky

2009-08-21T20:02:00.000-07:00

Today...was kinda.....well it is..possibly the worst day of the year...Milky died....he was found laying at 3rd floor parking lot T_T

The apartment security guard found him, he knew that he was our cat and rush to told us..but it was too late for milky....time of death 7-8 am.

i had pet died before...birds, fish, turtle, crabs (sounds plenty isn't it ?), but its different when its a cat.......i like cats, tho milky is kinda the bad kitty...he loves to bites, bothering people when they are using computer, always asking attention, stealing food from the other kitty...

i forgot when was milky arrived in the apartment, but he was very little...

i have so many memories with him..i'll be missing you milky T_T

I don't know who he called last night @_@

Milky sleeping on a pillow

Brown & Milky battle to the top

*side note : Brown is pregnant(not by milky tho)*

<3 I will always love you Milky <3

Dead Space SDCC 2009 -Bad Photo Edition-

2009-08-18T06:57:00.000-07:00

So I've acquired Dead Space SDCC 2009 exclusive earlier than Hellboy edition but i kinda refrain opening it since i need to ruin the box to actually hold the figure >_<

Well i did..........i dont really have that much patient waiting to have space to display them~ so i just open it and i put them back again~

So here's the last pic of it being perfectly sealed in the box~

And i must say, the box stick the figure quite tight, after few times trying the bend him in every possible way...the figure do have high amount of joints~ around.........15+ (doesnt remember all of it)

The lights are remarkably shiny * o *

Well that's all about it that i can tell...i guess..........ah right ! the only thing that kinda depress me is........the left arm..the bicep part somewhat crooked(?) so its a bit weird looking at it, but i think its only at my figure T_T

This figure worth every penny that it cost ! the light is mesmerizing, the tribal accent of the outfit is great, the weapon is quite cool, the figure itself is STURDY (i can see that in 10 years, it will still look the same as today........well perhaps bit dusty)

That's all folks XD So here's some last pic of it with Hellboy

District 9 Review -No Spoilers-

2009-08-17T05:32:00.001-07:00

Watched District 9 few days ago (the day when i post my first food loot blog post).

I must say, i went to the movie expecting normal human vs alien type of movie..since i only watch the trailer once ! *which is good*

Its somewhat bit boring at the first, then it got exciting...I'm guessing the director is trying to build up the story first then goes to the main event~

Even though I've seen plenty of movies lately (sadly i haven't watch harry potter yet), but this movie went up to the top 3 movie fave this year (for me that is)

With only US$ 30 million, the director able to deliver a movie that able to move me more than many other movies.........

I recommend this movie for those who actually looking a different kind of blast here and there type of alien vs human type of sci-fi movies~

Update : it seems bit short for a review, so I'll just add few things..well total income for the movie currently pass over $37 mil which means........its a success XD

The thing that i like about this movie is, they didn't use those mega hit super popular handsome gorgeous actor and actress~ which i could say...you don't need great actor/actress to make a great movie (tho you need to have great act)

The movie itself rated 18+ due of the gore, blood splatter, limbs flying, swear words, human negativity in political, greed, & racial tendency these days~

Food Loot 16/08/09

2009-08-16T05:00:00.000-07:00

Another Food Loot post !!!!

So i went again to the japan food corner and grab few things XD

So there's Sakuma Drops, which is i think somewhat popular in japan...plus advertised in the anime The Grave of Firefly (which is a great tragic movie)..taste quite great too !

Choco Baby, i havent tried it but i supposed it taste like normal choco....candies.......i think~ i'll update later after i ate it~ (and i did, it taste normal tho~)

Lastly but not the least Frans~ pocky type of snack~ with mix berries flavour <3 and then i ate~

Thats indeed..........salmon on hot stone !!! cost me around.......US$5, which is quite ok cause of the size~

Its not that it doesnt taste good, it does~ but somehow i prefer my salmon raw XD the fried rice goes well with the salmon too~ Well i cant say much bout it since my tounge is familiar with most of seafoods...

HellBoy SDCC 2009

2009-08-16T04:25:00.000-07:00

So i finally grab this...........err hellboy thingy since my gf said its cuter~ and it is true ^ o ^

here he is !!!

The cat is watching me >_<

HellBoy limited SDCC 2009 edition...looks pretty neat, it comes with his gun..which is quite heavy, and i thought it would be light...looks pretty sweet too, it have a logo on the gun handle, which i forgot to take pic of it - _ -a

Dont mess with my kitty ! >=[

Well other than that, everything just seem usual.....looks great for displaying tho, wonder if i should buy others....but i run with low budget, so i guess i'll hold it out for a while~

if there's any other version of hellboy that similar to these, let me know cause it seems that i like it a lot :)

Where's my cigar ?!

Kokonoe Rin

2009-08-14T07:33:00.000-07:00

The Nendoroid Ver.

Well i bought this actually cause i asked my <3 that i would buy her an action figure for her b'day gift later XD it turned out that its actually pretty good..the color is bright and the facial expression is hilarious..well its more hilarious in the anime~

I quite fond her twin tail~ it even can support her body to stand without the stand itself which is good~

She came with few pair of arms, a stand, and a ranseru; but she didnt came with the bicycle, its just a props~ i love the hair color tho, its really painted quite good on the figure ^ w ^

Kokonoe Rin is the main character in the anime "Kodomo no Jikan", a somewhat bit ecchi anime....and ah...ecchi is not pr0n..... the other characters from Kodomo no Jikan will also be released later, tho i dont really know the release time...but i'm guessing it wont be so soon T_T

Food Loot 13/08/09

2009-08-14T07:14:00.000-07:00

Well i kinda having some food shop yesterday (well more likely snack food shopping), saw a Japanese snack & food corner in a mall..so i went to check them up~

There are plenty of snacks that quite common...i guess but there are some that quite unique ! So here's the pic of my loot that day

A pretzel !!!! well not really that good...but it was my 1st after i saw a funny commercial of it starring Matsura Aya few years ago XD

those 2 rather cute looking things (the chicken and baby seal) is actually a...........i have no idea what it is called........well my mom usually used it when she make onigiri

that weird looking bottle is a soda drink called Ramune , you have to get it someday...it really surprise me when i opened it...you'll understand if you ever had it~ Its unique in a way.....lol

And that thing.....behind all of those is Dead Space limited action figure from San Diego Comic Convention 2009 !!! i was lucky getting it since it turned up that.............that action figure is actually the last stock~ *a review for it would come a bit late~~~~

Miku Miku Kagami

2009-08-14T06:55:00.000-07:00

So here they are ! Miku Miku Kagami ! the cosplay that showed up in Lucky Star OVA played by Kagami Hiiragi~~

sadly, i'm unable to obtain konata cosplaying as suzumiya haruhi >_<

So here they are........in figma version and nendoroid version (sadly i havent made pic for the nendoroid version ToT As you can see...the nendoroid still inside the box...

Next, the review~

So this is figma Miku Miku Kagami.....i must say i kinda like it...many people doesnt like the stomach joint that made the figure looks like pregnant or something XD

oh well...it doesn't really showed up too much, and not really in away reduce the figure flexibility <3

the joints are good, the coloring is quite nice too ^ o ^, but the thing is....somehow i felt like the legs are too.......skinny ?, well that's before i made comparison with other figmas...then i realized that they all quite the same...i wish they made it bit..just a bit thicker...but I'm quite satisfied with it tho~

the figma as usual comes with stand, 5 pair of hands (1 pair attached with the figure...d'oh), 2 leeks, and 1 irritated face~

as for price, i think this figure quite worth it indeed <3

Figma - Drussel~ somethin

2009-04-15T10:50:00.000-07:00

Upcoming latest line from Figma, Drosell Von Flugel or something...her name is hard to write...lol (its a germany name in case you're curious)

Some bird told me that she will be released around July this year at 2,800 Yen (i hope so)

She's made with collaboration with Disney Japan hence the different outlook

there arent many information about her for now beside that she's up and alive in her animation series [Fireball]

I've watch the animation, and its funny coz its so random and without any story plot whatsoever~ currently there're 13 eps. i hope there're more coz its quite fun watching her

Oh and there's more...Nendoroid also taking her in !! Pfft i'm so getting them later....hope my wallet wont burn that fast >_<

Eps.1 video in youtube ^^

So for now, i'll just spam this post with her figma and nendoroid pics ^^

if you can read japanese then go here

i havent found any english website created for her....yet :(

Watch

2009-04-12T22:10:00.000-07:00

So here it is, high styling wristwatch from Tokyoflash (design by PIMP)with a tag price $198.03

found this from a friend of mine, and i got hooked @_@ want to take it but i'm failing here and there in my college so i'm going to postpone it.

Bandai Twist Action Form

2009-04-11T00:54:00.000-07:00

So here it is 18cm Kamen Rider Den-O by Bandai @ 4,500 Yen (price may be different depends on the shop)

I just got it yesterday from the shop i usually order my figures; i havent watch kamen rider den o series, the only kamen rider series that i watched is kamen rider black and thats long long time ago.

The reason i bought this figure is i wanna experience the new body type, this body of kamen rider is covered with leather syntesic suit-of some sort which hide all its joints.

This is the only pic at the moment, dont have mini studio for it (will take pic later on)

Now, for the review

Flexibility of this figure is quite alright, i'm not brave enough to do extreme pose since i cant determine how're the joints handle such pose (yet) so for now the flexibility is somewhat limited. I like the leather suit ! it makes the figure looks great ^o^

There are some paint missing here and there, but its a mass produced figure so yeah..i kinda expecting it, not a big of problem; for the character originality, i suppose it follows it quite well. The only thing that makes me sad is....the blade, it doesnt stick with the figure hand ToT

i'm thinking to customize the blade hilt so it will stick to the hand, but i dunno what to use...anyone have an idea ?

There isnt any stand for this figure, tho it may stand quite alright on its own. The accessories contains of 2 side bag(belt?) with his things, 2 side bag(belt?) empty, 1 sword, 4 extra hand (2 each for left and right)

Paint = 3/5
Flexibility = 2.5/5
Accessories = 3/5

The latest addition in Morning Musume as the 8th gen. In 2005, she went auditioning for Super Girl in china, but she didnt win (which somehow made me glad) because soon after Tsunku♂ made a surprise private audition, 8th gen Morning Musume audition for the very first time outside Japan ! Even the members of Morning Musume are kept in dark about this audition.

The reason of why Tsunku♂ made this audition is because he felt its time for Morning Musume take another step in their publicity by taking Asian market. Oh before i forget, JunJun was never told that she was going into 8th gen audition, she's probably thinking that the audition was just another audition like the Super Girl audition; soon after she was called by Tsunku♂ to Japan.

Few of her family members actually against her decision to go to Japan, its because the usuall China vs Japan thingy which i prefer not to talk about. Luckly she's the type that doesnt give in, and she went to Japan ^ o ^

For the very first time, she watched a brief training of Hello Project concert which led her to met another chinese member of Morning Egg (another Hello Project team which consist of young generations) LinLin (Qian Lin). At that concert also, she was told that she's going to take part in the concert as Morning Egg member. Few days after she and LinLin called up by the staff to watch Tsunku♂ video in which he told them that they are choosen as the 8th gen members of Morning Musume (it shocked them until they are speechless and cried)

JunJun herself havent able to speak japanese(she was using a guide translator all the time), on the other hand LinLin was able to. JunJun went straight learning japanese soon after while doing dance and vocal training to catch up with the current members.

JunJun and LinLin acceptance led to a rage among japanese and chinese, because of the usuall China vs Japan. JunJun blogsite was filled with harsh words even curses from either Chinese and Japanese eventhough there are few that supports her too; She disable the comment and picture gallery in the blog after she replied to all that made the comments in a mature way (i forgot what she wrote but its "i dont care about how you think of me, but i dont like you insulting my country" or something similar).

In few long months, most of those who oppose her went missing and her supporter went raging up like volcano eruption (ok that was lame, but its close) even her supporter at a time was higher than the some of the other members.

As for me, i already fallen for her from the start so i dont get surprise that she's doing well but she's only given a little amount of singing lines ToT but nvm, i know that she's going be one of the memorable members in Morning Musume; who's able to deny a cute girl like her ?

Wow..this has become my longest blog post...oh well i ♥ JunJun ♪♪♪

Fugu

2009-04-05T03:34:00.001-07:00

A deadly japanese food made from fugu also known as Puffer fish; there are few types of fugu but the deadliest one called Tora fugu (Tora = Tiger). Fugu are deadly because of their well known poison and there arent any antidote to cure it (yet). The posionous parts of fugu are liver, ovaries, and the skin.

Fugu sashimi, there are rules that you need to understand before you order it :

Dont rush the chef, else he might forgotten to cut any hazardous piece
Dont be afraid to eat the fugu, the fugu chef will feel insulted if he/she catch you being afraid because he/she takes a long time to get the liceanse.
Dont take fugu from other people plate (if its not a full set like the above) the chef most probably calculate the amount of poison that can be handle by certain person thus taking out other people fugu would unbalance the amount of poison.
When you feel numbness on your lips, dont get panic......its normal, tho it is the 1st sign of fugu poisoning; unless the effects are spreading, hope the hospital is near.

Fugu sashimi could cost between $20-$200+/set. Why is it expensive?

The chef need a liceanse (which could take 10years+)
Only available on certain months (around winter)
Cutting the fish need a special knife called fugu-hiki

But dont need to worry so much about eating them, scientist at Nagasaki Univ. have found a way to breed non-toxic fugu tho there are some parties that doubting about it being poisonless...for me, i think it takes out the challange of death/semi death posibility from eating fugu.

I have never tried fugu dish before, but i'm going to try it someday later when i see any liceansed shop, tho perhaps i will need to sign in my last will letter (just in case...)

So thats just a short profile of her, what i like about her is that she's loud (dont be fooled by the pic and thinking that she's a calm-feminim type of person). her character always makes people laugh (at least smile). She's unofficially a person in morning musume that keep up spirit from time to time and her laugh, yes laugh..she's not giggling like common girls; when she laugh, she do it loudly without hesitation.

After her discharge from morning musume because of a scandal (having a bf is forbiden for every morning musume members) in 2005, she appears more into TV shows leading her to her own Tv show "Yaguchi hitori", movie and drama as support and main char.

Currently, she's making a solo debut..it relieve me alot, she's born for singing, and i know she's capable making a hit ^ o ^

hopefuly her solo album will be available at store nearby, since even i'm a fan...i dont actually own any merchandise of her...not having CC & Paypal holds me up many times >__<

Lucky * Star

2009-04-03T11:21:00.000-07:00

Lucky * Star, a comedy anime that quite loose at a time but sometimes taking a heavy words understand only by anime lover~

cast :

Konata Izumi
a perfect otaku~ that would prolly define 99% of her personality. i cannot express any more words beside that..oh and she's uber cute (well at least for me) ♥♥♥

Kagami Hiiragi
a counter part of konata, she and konata is somewhat close friends...i suspect even closer to konata rather than her sister. she's the only main char that arent in the same class with the rest. from what i've seen...she's really a tsundere (ah ha, another word only commonly heard by otaku)

Tsukasa Hiiragi
the younger sister of kagami, she's somewhat a combination of konata and kagami -1 points from every stats; she's quite slow, not actually smart, inherit konata characteristic for laziness but kinda cute in a way ^^

Miyuki Takara
the main char that doesnt get enough love~ she's the top grade material..come from a wealthy family, high intelegency, the only main char that have female curves, and kind; but all of those traits doesnt help her alot in gaining personal fans which quite odd~ i guess its because even that she's one of the main char, she doesnt get enough show time..
There are plenty of support characters, but all of them are more than capable lining up against the main chars.

the anime consist of 24 episodes which i 100% recommended. this anime actually capable in giving brief information on how people(otaku) live in japan eventho it doesnt actually represent all of them but if you manage to watch this anime..then you wouldnt be surprise with common otaku personality ^ o ^

Japan

2009-03-26T07:16:00.000-07:00

Nihon ! or Japan...i suppose i have a thing bout this country; its not just because my name is a japanese; Well thats another story..in this blog, i'm prolly gonna talk about the japanese part XD

nihon de ikkitai desu~

(i dont even know if i wrote it correctly)

There are a lot of things i feel good about it, such as :

Culture; Well every country have plenty of culture too..but somehow japan culture interest me more ? (dont ask, coz i have no idea why too)
Language; I've been trying to learn japanese by myself, tho i learn some words but its not enough for me to watch some japanese movie without subs
Anime; Ahh alright, i'm somewhat an anime otaku...i guess
Toys; Seriously...who can make better toys than them ?
Technology; well its seems most of high tech gadget comes from there (i said some)
Music and Movie; well this part is kinda biased on personal preferrence
Food; i love sushi, especially unagi, ikura, uni, salmon..well most of japanese food........prolly because i'm also an asian so i'm kinda stick to it better~
Game; i supposed everyone know about this part already...nintendo, playstation, ect
TV show; i have watch plenty of tv show from other country (comedy/other type) most of them are lame....not saying there arent lame tv show in japan but those that are good are really good.

well i supposed thats about all i can think atm~ it would be mean if i dont tell the bad sides too~

i've read some bad things from japan too, such as:

Criminality; i mean..the crimes exist in every country, but the punishment for the criminals arent really good punishment for their crime...there are few crimes i read about and i cant really cannot tolerate the punishment...even thinkin about it makes me boiled and sad
Community; i've seen some places in japan where they dont accept foreigners..i wonder why..but i guess its just about language barrier, i've been in china before..and seriously its like 1 in 1000 people able to speak english even for a simple english
Economy; read also that Tokyo is somewhere in the Top 10 most expensive city in the world...a small apartment which only consist of kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and a storing area could cost up like US$600 per month~ and its really small......
Jobs; well i cant really tell bout this part since i havent taking deep research about it but i supposed it would be quite hard as in the working hours~ and most of job are job-for-life type which sometimes could be a bad thing...
Transportation, well as some of you may know...eventho japan have various type of transportation but they mostly using train..and they are common in being squezzed into a train especially at the rush hours~ which i dont really like @_@
Suicide rate; from time to time, i kept hearing there are high suicide rate in japan........its confusing how many people suicide, i mean between all those who suicide there must be some semi-sane people and that scares me a lot....i kept thinking is living in japan really that hard ?

and so far thats what i've read; but it doesnt lower my hope to ever living there...hope it will be a good decision if i ever decided to live there ^^

in http://www.dannychoo.com website, i've gather a lot of information if i want to make a plan to live there ^^ its a good site for anyone who have interest in japan; too bad i havent become a member in his site..tho i want, but i dont have the luxury atm cause of few problems.

well i suppose thats about it for now (>^_^)>

Okonomiyaki

2009-03-23T15:14:00.000-07:00

A Japanese pizza..thingy~

i love foods, sometimes i always look out for foods that i haven't tried when i'm going to some places.
(=^ _ ^=)

When i went into a mall, i encounter this small food shop..i was thinkin "oh a japanese food shop
Okonomiyaki....never heard of it", so i went inside and tried it.

There are few japanese people as the chef and waiter/ess..i asked for a teppan seat, so i can see how they made it.

While i was waiting, the owner of the shop approached me and hand me out a japanese newspaper......but....i cant read japanese (T o T) perhaps i look like a japanese to her ? it remains a mystery.

After waiting a while, its done..when i saw the size of it, i'm thinkin its actually served for 2 person coz its quite big, but i guess i can handle it alone; Since i like spicy food..i put quite a lot of okonomiyaki sauce. It taste GREAT !! so great until it burned my tounge (x_x) but then again Yebisu beer cool it out.

After i search for some information, i learned that there are few types of okonomiyaki and the one that i had is Hiroshima style of okonomiyaki...i wonder what other okonomiyaki taste like...

oh well, hope to find another type of unfamiliar foods around (=^ o ^=)

A figure's life

2009-03-23T14:09:00.000-07:00

Yotsuba, the icon of Yotsuba & I comic book being materialized by Revoltech Company.

When i saw Yotsuba the first time, i saw the action figure before the comic book; which kinda not interesting for me in any way but somehow it manage to stick around in my mind for a while until i finally decided to buy the comic books.

And i fell in laugh.

After that, i felt an urge to get her action figure that i saw earlier...and she became my 3rd Revoltech. I'm glad i bought her because she was the first human Revoltech i own and it leads me to another direction of action figures collecting.

After quite some time, Revoltech announcing another version of her, Yotsuba DX which is quite the same with few minor changes and loads of accessories; thus Yotsuba Twins emerged. That picture was taken somewhat long time ago, i bought a.....i dunno what people call it but i guess i can say that its a bicycle-finger(?) because i was thinking that it might fit her photoshot...and i was right (=^ _ ^=)

side note : pic was taken using Sony Ericsson K810i Cybershot
