College | PC Mac battle! XD

Oha~

Since College is now a big part of my life, I thought I'd share some bits on it every now and then. A few RL friends know well that I am not a Mac fan ^-^; As someone studying Graphic Design, it may seem blasphemous, lolols.

Honestly, I've had bad experiences with *real* Mad fanboys and fangirls so I've learned to slowly appreciate the Mac through my own opinion and not that of the general fan world.

Mac is pretty fun and simple though, I must admit that I'm pretty comfortable with my own personal customizations I've made in Windows. I guess I'm finicky about any OS really XD

Do you customize your pc settings to suit your preferences?

What are your thoughts on the Mac?

A screencap of the Mac I use at college. Lolols, have named my flash drive "Kyon" XD

Do you name your pc devices?

Well, that ends this short post

Joints and Movability

Oha

As much love as there is for the Nendoroid series, the Figma range may be on close par.
If we look at this in more depth, we can say that there is a certin group of people who tend to prefer articulated figurines.
There are some who can still enjoy the static figurines but, the question is:

How creative are you when it comes to your jointed figurines?

This post was inspired by a creative and cute Image I had found on the Figma blog, located here.



If you're familiar with either of the trends in this image, I'm sure that you will be able to enjoy it ^-^

Well, that ends this post

Anime Oops part.3 | Fate/Stay Night Patch Out | Figma fangirlism

Oha

It has been quite some time since a new segment of 'anime oops' so, I finally present one.
Upon the release of the full Fate/Stay Night by mirrormoon
I decided to rewatch The Fate/Stay Night anime while I wait for the game to 'arrive'.
Here's something strange and very likely, a deliberate additition



The image can be enlarged, so if you can't see anything no worries!

Finally, since my Rin Figma arrived (and Shinki), I have been fangirling over them!
The joints which put me off before is now a new moe~
So small and easy to carry, posing and acting scenes out... MMS and Figma ranges are now within my interest!

Wells, this end this post

Anime Oops! part.1

Oha!

Bored or sharp-eyed.... watching an anime episode can deliver some startling scenes and images. These scenes are either accidental, humourous or for advertisement. To Otaku, these are seen as entertainment, mostly.

Below are two images that I discovered last night.
Picture 1



Picture 2




As you see, Mizuki's sneaker suddenly changes into the standard school shoe. Intentional or not? Have you ever discovered moments like this?

That ends part 1 of 'Anime Oops!'

Cleaning part.1

Oha!

I return after being ill for a few days, so do expect a few posts with this change ^-^

That said, this post is a simple 'Life' post... as I wouldn't have encountered much during my time off XD

In the time off, I had managed to catch up with a few pastimes that I have not indulged in for quite some time. Gaming, movies and strange enough.... helping my brother clean his room.

The game I tried my hand at was 'Mass Effect'. I had caught whim of this title before but, never bothered with it much. After playing for a bit, it seems like a promising title.

There are many types of movies available but, over this resting time were mostly documentary-type movies. While this may sound bland, these are best as they help us to think about world-wide issues which may never have crossed our minds before... a mental cleansing of sorts.

Finally, I assisted my brother in cleaning a part of his room. We are quite close as siblings; we’re not far in age either (just less than 2 years apart). I was surprised at the amount of foreign objects that lay in his bedside table.

It was amusing and we spent a good deal of out time laughing at each 'foreign' object that appeared in the fray. Between that, we discussed the content of the movies we had just seen.

Here is a picture of the bedside draw containing the mess XD

A Flickr link is provided below (link contains notes with item names):

In the end, we found that cleaning was just another way to calm ourselves and have fun ^-^

Nakama

Oha!

Last weekend, a few local Otaku and I had a meetup. It was the first meetup for this particular group but, the planning was definitely better than most XD
The day consisted of a trip to the arcade, bowling and then lunch at an Italian restaurant. Apparently, eating out at various fast food places is also on the list of activities.

Strange enough, when surrounded by fellow Otaku... you reek of Otakuness XD
Why?



Inspired by this picture:




A long chase, to try and have my bowling name changed to Haruhi…but, alas... I was just a number OTL
Closed space may have appeared, poor Koizumi didn't even get to finish his McDonalds as bowler 'Haruhi' sucked at bowling that day.

She had fun though ^_~

Well, that ends a weird and random ‘Life’ post! I will be collecting my figures today, so expect a photo shoot tomorrow ^-^

Till we next meet,

Patience really is a virtue!

[Tasukete, Eirin!]

Oha!

I didn't expect to post so soon but, here I am ^-^
After catching up with the posts on Danny Choo, I stumbled across this article: Oh My Goddess

As usual, Danny Choo has the amazing ability to motivate others and appeal to their hobbies while not offending them (something that hobbyists are probably prone to experiencing).
In this post, he mentions a previous experience and touches on the value of being aware of ones weaknesses. This may be common knowledge to some but, for for most of us, this is a useful moment to reflect on what *we* need to do to better ourselves as people.
There were very interesting answers, a good note that most people are aware of what they need to improve.

This is what makes Danny Choo's site different, I believe. He has an ability and uses it for good. Educating, motivating and socialising with his readers. I doubt that we can think of many people who do that!

Strange enough, reading the post also brought on a few past memories that, were left in the archives for quite some time.
I may decide to share it later, whether there is an interest or not XD
Essentially it is a trip to the past but, there may be something useful in it.


A final note on the title, "Patience really is a virtue!"

~"Waiting for something is praiseworthy but, waiting and applying ones efforts is admirable."~ (suki)

Until we next meet,

Headphones are Moe|More figs on their way

Oha!
This is a post from 'Life', 'Music' and 'Moe' catergory, since I thought I'd share a bit with you ^_~ Perhaps one of the more underestimated devices, headphones were seen as products. Being a product and therefore an item to sell, it needed beauty as the demand for it increased. The turnover from simple headphones to drool-worthy headphones started from that decision. In the end, we really are... Victims to marketting stratergy? Maybe Love for gadgets? Yes Love for headphones? YES! A few pics :3



Finally, a local store has updated their merch! Predicted spoils:
~Nendoroid Haruhi
~Mecha Musume vol.3
~Strike Witches vol.1

If these items are in stock, expect a photoshoot next week!

Vocaloid, huh?

Oha!

Not too long ago, I was completely clueless about the programme Vocaloid and it's respective mascots. As we all know, once something becomes popular on the internet, it gets spread far and wide, seemingly stalking you XD
Well, this is what stopped me from involving myself with Vocaloid. Possibly the worst choice, as I'm a fan of music, the process of making music and related matters.

It was bound to happen, sooner or later.

And, so it did.

Now, I am stalking after a copy of Vocaloid.. strange enough. I'm slowly gaining upgraded sound equipment and hope to experiment with more traditional methods but, it can't hurt to go digital ^_~
On the note of Vocaloid, Kagamine twins win over Miku, for me (^o^)b

Gifts from Malysia? Joy!

Oha!

All the way from Malaysia, comes great gifts! It was about two weeks back, an aunt of mine (and her family) decided to spend their holiday in the East. I was invited along but, due to work and other life events, I was unable to go T__T

A list was made, directions were given and these are the fruits of those actions ^-^





Seems like art books are becoming a new collecting habit XD

Pics of spoils from the oh-so-far discount store

Oha!

I present, pics from the previous roadtrip! Perhaps a miracle, perhaps conincidence... somehow, my camera found the will to work XD
It's not a *great* camera but, as I got it for nothing, I'm not complaining XD
I'll take the blame for the quality of the pics, however, as I have never really made time to improve my knowledge of taking photographs. I am willing to learn, so please bear with me during this time.
Onto the pics!
