10:34PM  Can you imagine this... 40K Yen just for a perverted tentacles figure!?... Hardcore... I wouldn't go that far if I were the possible/potential buyer... I'd rather buy a droolsome spec-ed laptop/desktop pc (I'm more of a tech-otaku,btw.. and am proud of it. ^^;). this isn't what you should be displaying so openly at your room anyway...  Me want Miku...  Kagamin too... she's only available at WF and in resin kit according to KON-san of Figuephoto. Images were taken from akibahobby. 03:47PM Was browsing at some japanese hobby sites which has photos and report of Wonfest 2008 Winter event which was held last 24th. Added a Toy/Figure Events section in the Hobby Log page to link the readers to other sites where reports and photos are present. and some figures that I am aiming and already being pre-ordered: [Note: Most pictures were taken from Danny Choo's and CUT-A-NEWS' site.] KAIYODO   KOTOBUKIYA         MAX FACTORY    and many more... some were not shown here but they'll be on my want-get-list... probably. |

11:23PM Me want this now!  Credit goes to amiami.com. more images here. and the black version here. 09:45PM Went to a local bookstore today and found this...  Warhammer: Mark of Chaos Yeah, I'm playing it right now on my Desktop PC despite the crappiness of it... It didn't work on my Core Duo laptop... it says "requirement not met" or something like that. Anyway, the reason I bought this game was because I was really curious as this game was from NAMCO BANDAI... and that company rocks big time. Not a mistake in buying it... the 3D really rocks... they just look kindda almost real to me... especially the opening movie. Anyway2, the opening intro seems too choppy... and during the gameplay too... seems like my NVIDIA GeFORCE 256mb FX5500 can't take the heavy graphics... ...And this is a bootleg btw and costs me Php280.00... safe... |

09:52PM  Bandai HGUC Re-GZ gallery is up. Upcoming figure this weekend... Sega DOA Kasumi blue ver. by Yamashita Shunya. 10:59AM Added some modifications to the site... 12:07AM Whew... finished building the HGUC Re-GZ kit. Took longer of panel lining, etc. There were many bits and pieces but managed to finish it quick... the previous kit was supposed to have fewer bits and pieces, yet slow building progress...  Will post the gallery within this week. Ordered a Sega Dead or Alive Kasumi blue version by Yamashita Shunya today.. be receiving it within this week. |

07:37PM Added new art in the art & photo gallery.  I've been really into drawing ever since the pen tablet arrived... Macromedia Fireworks 8 works fine... it depends on how the user utilize.. as for me, am still learning things... Adobe Photoshop is a NO-NO... can't comprehend the software though majority of graphics software users prefer this one... will master this software first before moving on to another software. |

08:22PM Was reading Otakudan's blog and saw this... soooooooo uber cute... Thought that Miku only had few buddies... I was wrong there... 12:16PM Finally uploaded all Movable Type files to my webhost account... change 2dx3d.wordpress.com to uselessthoughts.net/blog/. Moved to Movable type for a change... er... cuz wordpress is a pain in the ass to upload and install... 12:09AM  Bandai HGUC Zeta Gundam extra finish ver. gallery is up.  Took pictures of this Zeta Gundam at 11:00pm... the results were good than expected... created warm colors than results from morning, afternoon or 7:00-8:00-ish in the evening which is the time I take photos of my new figures... Ugh... gotta sleep now, already 12+ in the am... |

10:17PM Got this one from akutenshi's blog... sounds interesting/funny... 25 Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer (In no particular order) 1. Youfve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard. 2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size. 3. Youfd rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriendfs shirt than listen to what he/she has to say. 4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you canft type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard. 5. Youfve had gSoftware Nightmares,h when youfve been working way too much. 6. You consider meals interruptions. 7. Youfve learned your lesson and stopped using the word gfinalh in any file name when saving. 8. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car. 9. Youfve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers. 10. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix. 11. Youfd rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer. 12. When you heard that Adobe was acuiring Macromedia, you had a Design Orgasm. 13. When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later) 14. Youfve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up. 15. Youfve actually $paid for a font. 16. Youfve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer) 17. The amount of words youfve written with a sharpie labeling burned discs total more than the amount of words youfve read in novels. 18. Youfve had to explain to a client that a layered file wasnft part of the deal. 19. Youfve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it. 20. Youfve nicknamed the OSX spinning wheel. (and not affectionately) 21. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town. 22. Youfve intentionally overbid a project because you can sniff out a bad client from a mile away. 23. You canft go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design. 24. You have an amazingly huge font collection, and an amazingly short temper. 25. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago. 03:22PM  First CG using the pen tablet I got today... not bad, I think... a bit used to it already. 11:26AM  Ordered this Genius G-pen 450 pen tablet from my aunt's shop last thursday and got it today. I tried using it this morning and it really annoys me a bit but I'll be used to this soon... This also doubles as a mouse pad for my wireless mouse. |

11:52PM HGUC Zeta Gundam Extra Finish (Progress): Night 03 Completed...   Finally completed the kit. Will post the gallery soon... The image quality is crappy as I am only using my SE W850i's 2.0mp camera. My dad borrowed my main camera. |

09:55PM HGUC Zeta Gundam Extra Finish (Progress): Night 02 Arms, Wings & Tail(?)  Building the kit slowly... Just realized that building a model on a rush would be boring... Anyway, I'll continue the rest of the parts tomorrow and will finish it by then, hopefully. This is how I work on my model kits... so messy. |

 Hatsune Miku... 02:47PM Today's really cold... it's raining but currently stopped. I like cold days but hate rainy days. Currently listening to Gundam 00 OST. 11:07AM    New artworks added to Art & Photo gallery... 09.jpg & 10.jpg is okay I guess... Few more days of wait before the arrival of my HGUC Zeta Gundam Extra Finish version model kit. |

10:55PM  (This image was taken from IMDb) Have watched movie today. Sweeny Todd was bloody good full-o'-musicals while killing his customers using his "friend", a blade. And it reminds me of a movie called Edward Scissorhands which Johnny Depp was still the lead actor and this movie was released on theatre 18 years ago (1990)... |

01:28PM  This was totally hilarious... laughed my ass off while watching Minami-Ke 2 ep.05 with the painful expression Kana possesses. Pirated this image from Subculture Anime blog and edited the image by me. I just had to have this image since after I saw the episode last week. 11:02AM Just came from the dental clinic awhile ago to remove my 3rd molar or wisdom tooth from the left side. The dentist had a hard time removing it as it was really hard to pull it off. So, in the end, he divided it to 3 parts and removed it one at a time...  A bit inappropriate to post here but this is to show what a carabao tooth is like..heheh... In other stuff, Clannad episode 17 was really funny... And Kyou's expressions were really cute when she was trapped with Tomoya inside the gym storage room... |

Actually, this was an order which came really late.... ordered this on January 21 but shipped out already on Feburary 02... I guess they're low on stock... but waay too slow... but it's ok..

These pictures were taken at a restaurant inside the hotel(Pryce Plaze) where we checked-in during the one-day-and-a-half vacation last Xmas 2007 in Cagayan de Oro City (It would be so waste not to go there and enjoy the offer which is a free accomodation the company offer to us every year since we're a dealer of that particular product). Thought of posting some non-figure photo(s) for a change and since I'm interested in nature/good-looking views photography in the first place before doing figure photography... just a few pics though...     City view looks good over that hotel since it's almost on the mountain top and where SM Mall CDO is 5-10min of ride away. I apologize for the sucky pictures as i don't have a DSLR camera yet and the madz skillz of a photographer... but I'm a bit satisfied already with the results... Anyway, tune-in for my upcoming Kotobukiya Konomi Yuzuhara maid version which is coming(hopefully) next week and those sucky photos.... |

10:25PM First post for the month of February... Thought of having this diary/log again though I already have a Wordpress blog account.  (This image was taken from Wikipedia) Watched the new tokusatsu series called Kamen Rider Kiva today and it was uber cool... have been a Kamen Rider fan since Kamen Rider Black started... This series started late January this year. Just lurve this new Kamen Rider... I don't really like the previous KR which is Den-o since it's almost a comedy than an action show... ehh? just what am I complaining at?! these KR series(es) are aimed for youngsters anyway. Anyway, Here's an intro of the series if you haven't seen it yet: looking forward to download the rest of the series when it's out... |
