My laptop has just leveled-up today.


Thanks to my retardedness, I impulsely fork out Php2,550 for a Kingston 2Gb ram this afternoon @ Octagon. I was having a thought of getting the Transcend 2Gb ram but slightly expensive @ Php2,630 but in the end, I got the Kingston memory as I am sucker for cheap things.
After installing the memory, I turned on my laptop but it didn't boot up. I was about to panic. Then an hour after messing with the hardware, I removed both the 1Gb ram module and found out that the other ram was a Samsung brand which then I found out that it has compatibility issue with Kingston. I was about to lose hope and regret. Good thing that the other ram was the same brand as the one I bought.. There's no evidence of the system getting faster but at least this will be ready for some memory-hogging-softwares that I want to use in the future.
The Samsung 1Gb ram didn't go waste as I installed it onto my EEEPC and it worked perfectly.

Sorted the display cabinet a bit as I was almost out of space before sorting the figures, books, etc.
It's a bit messy just the way I like it. ^^

Have been randomly browsing on Sankaku Complex's blog last night and happen to bump into XSp.'s blog post on Chrono Trigger DS, the greatest classic RPG which was originally released back 13 years ago (1995) for the SNES system then to PSX(2000?). This time, there'd be a release from Square-Enix. Still have to wait for it... game will be released winter 2008 as I have heard.
Enjoy this trailer and opening movies for now...

Damn... I regret having an impulse purchase on my Asus EEEPC 4G 701 UMPC now that a new EEEPC 900 has been released for a whopping Php25,000 with either 12gb or 16gb and has 8.9" screen with 1024 x 600 resolution and already WinXP. And now that this Acer Aspire One have been introduced (in Japan).. I'm regreting even more... I doubt this will be released here though. More info here.

Got this month's issue today for Php90.00 only.

Have been purchasing GAME! magazine lately as there are tons of useful reviews/previews/guide on the upcoming/released games from various VG systems just like EGM, to name one.
For those who do not know what this mag is, it's a local magazine here in the Philippines and it talks about the upcoming/released games, game walkthroughs, japanese stuffs, some animes (Ouran HS Host Club this month), sometimes there are free MMORPG installer CDs
(last month was Cabal Online which is quite a boom here in my place...for now...), etc...
In this issue, there's an article (which surprised me) about Japanese celebs sucha as Ayumi Hamasaki, Leah Dizon, Yuko Ogura, etc.

(Forgive the crappy photo quality as I was only using my 7.2mp compact camera and my photography skill, still got no scanner. ToT)

On the other side of things, I still haven't got my RAHDX Selena figure which I ordered at HLJ late last month.. It's because I carelessly selected the shipping by SAL instead of the usual EMS. And hoping to receive my Uesugi Kenshin figure (from Wasabitoys) tomorrow..

And am really confused whether to get a 2Gb DDR2 ram for my laptop. Currently have 2Gb(2x 1Gb ram) which I find the lappy just good in handling multitasks (Web/graphic designing while listening to the music, etc.). Just want to maximize the lappy's memory capacity upto 4Gb(but have read somewhere that it would only be upto 3.5Gb or something. 2.something Gb in this case). I think it's not really cheap nor costly @ Php2,660.00 (Transcend brand). Am still gonna use the current saving I got for a Logitech V450 Nano Wireless Laser Mouse(Costing Php2,800.00) which I ordered from the part-shop-owner friend from my fave electronics shop. Guess I'll settle the memory for next month.

Decided to detatch the pin-up(?) poster from the Shining Wind artbook which I bought moons ago.
Greeted by Kureha and Xecty every morning is a good way to start the day. ^^
There are still lotsa pin-ups waiting to be posted. Also, added a search bar in the index page. ^^

Haven't posted anything lately...

This design is just like the Shana wallpaper below.
Don't know how to explain this.. I mainly use the Paste Inside(Ctrl+Shift+V) in the edit menu in Macromedia Fireworks 8.

Finally got my copy of Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for Nintendo DS.
It's a great game. A bit harder than the prequel (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for GBA)
Check out their official site
here.
And on the other note, modified the index page a bit. Followed Shino of Lololol suggestion
regarding the layout and content.

Another traditional art.

Re-designed the layout of the index page. My Brother agreed on the latter layout than the former.
Took a bit(or a lot) of time to take screens, etc.
