Weekly Wallpaper 3

Okay, I've been slacking off lately, both in blog and real life. Freakin' assignments pile up, yet still always putting them off till the last minute. *sigh*

anyway, time for some more weekly wallpaper.

This this is Hanabi set (I don't know what Hanabi is, I just named it coz it says that in the drawing lol). Any info would be appreciated =)
(all pics are in 1900x1200 res. I can't upload walls by size anymore cuz my photobucket account wouldn't allow me, and I'm too cheap to afford a pro account)








Enjoy =)

*EDIT*
crap, now Blogger also auto-resize it.

Banpresto C.C DX figure (Black Ver.)


So, I've been kinda active buying figure lately, but almost never opened them. Reason? I dunno, I wanna open them, but I also want to preserve them in their original condition (overreacted, no?)
But last week while browsing, I found a Banpresto C.C figure, which is pretty cheap compared other figures. Long story short, I bought it, and finally I opened it. I thought I might as well give it a lil bit review. Before I start, sorry about the background and such, coz I don't have any space to set up background for the photoshoot. All the pics are all point-and-shoot, and then given some minor adjustment.



So, I finally happy to get this figure since I first saw it back at earlier Anime Expo, because this figure by far is one of the better C.C figure out there ( I dunno, I rarely spotted C.C figure).
So, I opened it, and to much surprise, it came in pieces, which mean minor assembly is required (I know, I know, I should have expected it, since it comes with only carton box)




So, first thing first, let's rip open the plastic warper.


Bam, lookin good so far... but for that moment only.

Soon after I pay a little more attention to the pieces, I discover this.


It comes with some chips on her hair.... And as you can see, there's also some visible line between the hair parts. I guess that's inevitable, but I don't think that chip is also part of the design.

...But nevertheless, She is still comes with a pretty remarkable and accurate sculpting, especially in her price range.

Awww... How adorable :3 I think I might fall in love with her sooner or later. Really nice facial sculpture, imo.


And when I move to the body, I notice some of could-be-better paint quality


Hmm... Looks like the yellow paint has tainted the black dress of C.C..
There's also some white stains around her chest.. Looks like it can be removed, but I dont know what should I remove it with. perhaps thinner? Anybody have experiences removing this type of stain?
I really disappointed with the stains. If only it were come perfectly without any chips or stain, She would be one of my best buy :(
I don't know if other C.C owner also got this defects, or probably it's just me who got lucky..
But I think this type of quality is to be expected from figure with this price range...


Anyway, let's continue assembling her..


Oh yea, I do experiencing some difficulties attaching the other arm between the hair. Any C.C owner experiencing the same difficulties? or perhaps it's just me? lol


And finally, She's completed!! (it sounds like I was building a gunpla or something, lol)


Very lovely indeed. Even with all the manufacturer's defect, I must admit this is one of my favorite figures!! X3

Hmm... I think I also have to buy the C.C Ichiban Kuji figure. The only problem is just she costs a bomb :(




The figure and its boxart counterpart




mmmmm~~ tottemo kawaii :3
(btw, can someone guess what manga title is in the bg?)



Oh, btw, the belt also comes unattached with the body it's kinda nice.




And this is the stain that I was talking about earlier...




And the chip mark...




Ahhhh C.C, your gaze is melting meee X3 X3 X3



And a shot from the back. Nice exposure of her bottom between her dress.


dat ASS. nom nom nom





Also, I've been noticing that my photos are not as good as others. This sometimes bother me, and I've been looking for answer since then.
One of my friend said, my photos result were so-so probably because I was using an all-around camera (I'm currently using 18-200mm).
He said that my lens is good if you don't like to bring more than 1 lens when taking photos. But if I want to get best results, he told me that I should have used a specialized lenses for the shots (i.e macro lens for close-up, wide-angle for landscape, etc).
Is it true?


Oh, I also found this pic funny, since it looks like she have a guy's package. Just look at her bulging crotch! XD
What would you do if you like this one girl, but later you found out that "she" had the "package"?



See? Even Tony Stark likes her.




And she peacefully resting on top of Motoko. Do you think I should get her out of the box and do some photos of her?


Oh yea, on a side note, my order of Ignis the White came several days ago, and it really disappoint me. The dress and all are nice, but it's just her eyes. omg, HER EYES (and what I mean is her real eyes, not "eyes"). They're done pretty badly, considering all the other details, and it really turns me off.
Should I just sell it? Or should I just accept it as is, and display it anyway?


Hmmm... woww... I think this is the first time I wrote a blog post this long. Hope you guys like my review and my photoshoot :D If you guys like it, I probably will do photoshoot and review of Motoko, or my Kanu figures. So, Hope you guys like my reviews, and my blog!



(P.S: I thought my waifu was more of Kanu. But since I acquired this C.C, I think I might have an affair...*giggle*)

FullMetal Alchemist - Brotherhood OP 2 : Hologram

(w00t... I made other posts, FINALLY lol)

Sooo.... Anyone might notice now that FullMetal Achemist : Brotherhood got a new OP now. I haven't watch it yet, but lurking in internet made me know about the new song. So I youtube it, and bam, NICE SONG. I think I starting to love this j-rock type of thing, but not too hardcore. I think it's called Hologram (CMIIW), sung by NICO Touches the Walls.
Hmm... not too familiar or up-to-date with J-music, but perhaps they're a newcomer in the biz?
Also, Anyone can tell me other songs that run along this type of music? I'm currently bored with my music library right now (with no good western music, and no sources to K-music or J-music), so any suggestion would be greatttt

anyway, this is the op, in case you guys wondering (or too lazy to search it on youtube)



And for those who want the video or the mp3 download (TV-size, of course), you can download it here :
[MU]Opening Video
[MU]NICO Touches the Walls - Hologram[TV size].mp3

I'm also currently looking for uploader besides MegaUpload, since sometimes people bit*hing about why I just upload it to any member-free hosting. I heard MediaFire is good. Is it? Can anyone give me a any other free file hosting on the net? >.>

Anyway, If you like the song, please do support the artist by buying the singles once they're out :) Keep them inspired to make new songs :)

I think that's all for this time. It's 2.00AM now, and I dont know what to draw for my summer class. Dang, this class is driving me crazy. Hope you guys will pray for me so I can get lots of great ideas for my class :(
