Oha
This is a simple question that I have for my dear readers out there ^-^
We all have similar interests, sometimes our interests vary but, we can still appreciate those differences.
Just how deeply involved are you with your hobbies?
Do you feel that it takes up a lot of your time, how do you feel about that?
Someone that I care for greatly told me, "Do not confuse your hobbies with your life".
It seems like a simple statement at first but, upon further thought... it is not. Being passionate about something, in itself, is not bad. Having your passions replace your life, is not an event that we choose.
We make it happen.
How one ensures that this delicate balance is preserved is simply the power of the mind. If we are aware of the difference between reality and our passions, we should be able to control it.
Let's hope that we can all achieve this while still enjoying our hobbies!

Oha!
A slightly different post for today. It's a question to the female Otaku out there though; I don't mind males answering either ^-^
There are a few figurines which are made with the intent of revealing more of the body than others but, there is others which just happen to be revealing in one instance.
Whichever you prefer of the two, if your friends and family do not approve of your hobby, it may be hard to display these types of figurines...
What is your reaction to a figurine that suits your tastes but, you are unable to display it for certain reasons?
Personally, I avoid any figurine that exposes more than a bunny-girl figure would. It is a sad thing as there are many figurines that grab my interest but, cannot be displayed due to their appearance ^^;

As you may have noticed, the banner has been changed! It features Takaze Mizuki from the Comic Party game made by Leaf (Leaf-fangirl here)
The banner may rotate every now and then; it's a bit hard to say right now though. The text on the banner hurts my eyes but, for the life of me, I can't seem to get rid of it ^^;
There are simply too many adorable characters out there, don't you think?
How were you able to choose your banner mascot?
The weekend presented a lovely event, the International Air Show!
A full write up as well as a Flickr link is being prepared, though the size of the pictures is a bit concerning ^^;
Please look forward to it!
Not really relating to the site or hobbies...

Normally local politics would simply tire me out and I'd lose interest but, this is big news.
The elections will most probably be moved closer and this would move my first time of voting nearer.
A daunting task, I think.
Have you had the opportunity to vote? Do you follow the politics of your country?

Otaku is normally used as a degenerative word but, among those who are hobbyists, it's more like a title of some sort (like a name tag).
Most people refer to problems they experience just because they enjoy their hobby but, has anyone experienced other forms of prejudice?
(Being criticised for liking anime and being a certain race, religion, gender or nationality).
It's quite depressing to read that even among Otaku, there are those who are shunned for being 'DEEP' or uncommon Otaku hobbies.
Stereotypes are probably another bad habit among certain Otaku. As a female Otaku, I don't enjoy Yaoi or Shounen-ai but, if one is stereotypical, I would be a Fujoshi ^^;
There are more stereotypes and bad habits but, listing all of them would allow this post to become far too depressing.
Instead, let's think of ways to avoid stereotypes and bad habits.
How would you educate others about Otakuism and avoid stereotypes?
Till we next meet,
