Beautiful Okutavia

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:53:23 -0700

Found a nice long connected screenshots of this proud Knight, Octavia. These are from episode 10 of Tears to Tiara. Perhaps they might fit as a scroll on your wall? Despite of her nobility, she's very approachable...

Profile v.6

This used to be my profile... then I decided to scrap it because it takes a lot to update (X.x;;)

Why everyone should watch Toradora!

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 00:42:46 -0700

I should've wrote this down when my memory's still fresh off the oven a month ago, but here's why I think this show is a can't miss romantic comedy. Toradora! differs from other shows in its genre because: - It's not a shallow, sappy, teary show where people blushes and cry over cheesy dialogs - Anti-cliché and realistic character behavior; everyone in this show acts more like people in real life, as opposed to they're being scripted to do whatever - It tends to break the 4th wall for being unpredictable from one things to another - Took a dramatic teenage angst life turn second half from love comedy, which most other shows in this genre aren't willing to risk - More to come, I guess~ All of those, with well written plot carefully mixed together makes Toradora! a superb, enjoyable, can't-miss romcom.

Visiting the Video Game Expo

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 23:02:11 -0800

Well here's something to blog about. Today out of a whim, I went to VGXPO 2008 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center with bro. I'm not even into gaming anymore at this point and time as anime and web design became my daily routines this past year, but since I've never been to any kind of con I was pretty excited. Ah.. forgot to bring the great digital camera, so my 2 megapix camera phone was up for the task. Crappy quality is crappy. Left: Far Cry 2 hands-on. Astonishing HD gaming with Intel demo. Right: Perhaps heavy Gran Turismo fans want to try this one. Also, what kind of gaming con exists without Darth Vader and Storm Troopers? Left: Middle of exhibit hall. People relax themselves in comfy chair... oh I like how the light glares come out. Right: It's what I call truck of gamers. Inside, people are rocking with Guitar Hero and other stuff. Left: Wide passageway to Retro Con inside the PA Convention Center's second floor. Middle two: Pics are blurry, but that's the room of the past, from 8-bit era to PS1. And perhaps PS2. Right: Suddenly, bowls. Thousands of them. Far left: Biggest dance dance assembly I've ever seen. Probably up to 32 players dancing on a big screen. Left: Zenkaikon's Anime-Game festival. Pretty much a small lounge with anime presence, but I was delighted to see a great Sailor Moon cosplay there. There was also a guy doing Itachi getting asked for pictures a lot, but meh. :P Right: A view of PA's VGXPO from the bleachers. Far Right: More wide view to the right side. Overall experience, it was great. I get to try out games such as Far Cry 2, Quake 4, Gears of War 2, Call of Duty 4, and another I didn't remember. Also saw demos of Left 4 Dead, Unreal Tournament, and much more in true high definition. Though most of my time I end up walking over and over standing in lines for those. Was quite disappointed that the LAN center was used for tournament on Sunday so we get to play CoD4 for a short while. Well now I'm feeling more gamey again. Video games these days are unaffordable but soon, most likely this Black Friday we're going to hunt for PS3 deals.

New Profile, Siggy, and Avvy Fix

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 23:05:46 -0700

Finally got around updating profile again since June last time. Blue color scheme this time and yet again featuring a tsundere character. Not just any ordinary tsundere, she's Kugyu's fourth and latest tsunderekko which certain bandwagon already set and sail prior to the anime premiere. I’m a bit behind of schedule this time around, about 3 weeks after autumn 2008 anime officially started. I might get sluggish again with updating profile next season, so that's why I decided to make this one more “generic” – in a sense not addressing only this specific season, unlike the last two. Well, going back down to memory lane, here are my past profile bio stuff... I was inspired by other member’s profile. Didn’t know where to start, what to write, what to put in there, so I did my first one really simple. I was on deep fascination on Sky Girls at the time. XD

Second one was Shana. It wasn’t long after the first one. Not much of an improvement there except the design.

My third one jumps out pretty far. I saw the Nanoha pic at some imageboard and thought “Hey that would make a good profile bio”, so I did that and kaboom!

And the last one was Louise. It was still there until yesterday. The About Me part was very mouthful but I actually get compliments for it overall. (*^-^)

As far as profile picture, not sure if I'm going to update it anytime soon. I had it since April (pre-Taiga days) and thought it could somewhat permanent. Plus, there's not much Taiga materials surfacing as of now so I might wait for a catchy pic of the Palmtop Tiger for my new long-term profile pic. ^.~ While a lot of great stuff lines up, yappari Toradora! still win me with the enjoyment as pure romantic comedy this season. And that bring me to my new forum signature and avatar~ 8) *points and ogles* Last avvy and siggy before Taiga: (^_^)/~~
