Hi, back again.

Got some of my friends coming from SoCal last week, and before they went back, I discovered this awesome singer from his iPod :D

It appears that she was already in the business for quite some time, but it is the first time i've heard of her... and WOW how I like her voice and songs.

Unfortunately, I don't have any information of her besides that she have won Sony Audition quite some time ago. Wanted to visit her japanese website, but can't even read Japanese, so gave up. lol.

Source from wikipedia.

Her songs are mostly good, but I think these are my favorite

For those who want to preview her songs, you can download it here.

PS: The link for the songs are for SAMPLE purpose only. PLEASE SUPPORT THE ARTIST BY BUYING HER ALBUMS IF YOU LIKE IT.

ok, ciao, later.

Kuraki Mai - Revive

Just discovered this song existed xD

Used as the 25th opening theme for Detective Conan

Never watch the anime, but.. WOW, 25th OP? you serious? how many episodes are there right now for Conan anyway?

Btw, it's still a pretty good song tho, with the thick rhythm of spanish music. Really refreshing. Read more

YUI's Again for FullMetal Alchemist : Brotherhood OP !

w00t!

Maybe this stuff have been around for awhile, but there's a new series for FullMetal Alchemist coming out recently. Titled FullMetal Alchemist : Brotherhood, this time the anime will follows the original story from the manga.

The first episode came out recently, and as usual, I checked out the OP to see the quality.. and WOW i really liked both the OP and ED theme for this one, especially the opening theme!

titled Again, sung by YUI. check it out :

God, this one sure takes me back to the feeling when I first listened to her song, Life. I thought that YUI's song recently not really much to my liking, but this one totally make up for it!!

oh yeah, the ED theme's pretty decent too. check it out. it's called Lie, sung by SID.

But as usual, eventho it's really good, I usually don't follow new series until it's done airing, or at least half of the total episodes have came out. I prefer to watch the episodes in one-go, rather waiting week by week for each episodes.

also, doing that means I can wait for the dvd, or the fansub. lol

1/6 Morrigan - Max Factory

Was browsing around few days back and found this gorgeous figure on HobbyFan

This is 1/6 PVC Morrigan from Max Factory. Smexy.

If I am right, this figure is scheduled to be released on July 2009 with retail price of ¥12,800.

Some websites already started to take pre-orders for this babe. WANT. but financial condition does not allow me at this time. DAMMIT.

So, to comfort myself, I decided to make a drawing of this PVC figure right here. But because of my lazy nature, I just draw it in sketches

... which is turned out pretty good, I guess. But several days later, I read about how kinzokusama, a fellow comrade from dannychoo.com, uses some brush-tipped pen to trace his drawing.

Was asking what brand is the pen, and bought it the next days. Was really excited to try the pen because I've been wanting to get the same results as his drawing which you can see right here.

and this is result.

SHIT. looked so fugly. You can really see the difference between his drawing and mine, and it's like heaven and earth. DAMMIT.

I might be because I got the wrong pen, but most likely it's because my drawing sucks. Need practice moar.

Oh well, putting that aside, I want this PVC so bad. Hopefully I can save some money so I can buy this babe some time later.

You can find more pictures of this Morrigan atHobbyfan and from MaxFactory website here, for those who can read Japanese.

Anyway, my Niniane and Kos-Mos v4 has just arrived. So happy right now. So probably gonna write a quick review and post some pics of it for the next post.

Later.

Photoshoot Testing

So, yeah, I just got my first-ever Revoltech, the Fulldrillized Gurren Lagann. It's pretty neat tho, with all the joint that's so flexible, no wonder many people loves revoltechs. Got it from one of the hobby town in JapanTown when I was strolling around :D

Loves it, and decided to take some pictures to test my lens' macro compatibility. And God I'm so bad at taking shots that there's only some pics that worth posting..

Beside my inability to take great shot, it also appears that eventho my lens is good for a all-around lens, it didn't do a good job for taking macro.

Ahh... I wish I had bought a macro lens too. Was checking the online price for Canon macro lenses, but costs around $200 plus. Expensive.

But honestly I don't know which one should I get, the macro lens or the wide-angle lens, since I love to take pictures of scenery also. :(

Later last night, decided to take more shots of the revoltech, and only came up with several shots worth posting...

Would like to upload more pictures when my skill got better tho. But for now, I guess a couple of picture is enough.

And trying to use a photoshop to adjust the image a lil' bit. Tried to use clone tool to erase the stand pole, but failed, as you can see at the pic below. I heard that Lightroom do a better job at refining post-shot photos. Is that true? I tried to use Lightroom for awhile, but still can't leave photoshop for the moment..

Will take my other figures later. So happy that my Kos-Mos just arrived today. Will take photos of it then post it later... if I came up with good shots lol.

1st Entry

Hi,

first, I never expect to create a blog in the first place. But suddenly, the idea to create one just came up out of nowhere just now, when I was stuck (and lazy) to do my assignments that's due tomorrow. Yeah, you can say that I make this blog on impulse.

So, starting from now, (hopefully) I will update some random stuff. It can be daily events, rumors, songs, figures, blah blah blah. I might update it daily, once a week, a year, or probably I just too lazy to update anymore.

And if there are some people who by chance read this post just to leave bashing or other bad stuff :

There you go, my first-ever blog entry.

see ya in the next entry (hopefully)
