I am Going to Japan!

I will be visiting Japan next month ^_^. It will be sort of my first time overseas by PLANE. Yes I sound pathetic; Since I was schooling, I didn’t have time to fly to other countries for holidays. I had extra curricular activities commitments. So this time round, it will be a pretty exciting trip for me! ^_^

I will be following a tour with my mother, so meh, the trip will be pretty short and all, but still, this is a trip sponsored by my parents, so why not? =D

[PS3 Demo] Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete & FFXIII?!

After my massive haul last week, it’s time to review my hoot, Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete (Bluray, HD ftw!) and the demo of Final Fantasy XIII that came along with it ^_^

Retail Price for the …

Failure to Resist Loli Feito: LOOT!

Having spent a bunch last week, one would try to resist any more impulse buys right?

Despite having that mindset, I decided to self-poison myself by going to KKnM last Sunday. I know that the tapestry of Fate from Nanoha the 1st Movie arrived there, but as I was busy last friday, I didn’t attempt to purchase it, thinking that it was quite expensive(for a tapestry T_T) and since I wasn’t able to rush down to purchase it in time, I might just miss the chance to buy the tapestry. And …

Masaaki Hemmi, vice president of the university, said, ‘‘We are ashamed that incidents degrading the dignity of academic dissertations have happened. We will work on measures to …

Figma 038 – Drossel

When I saw this figma, I was wondering what is this figma, it looks very special. Lol. Turns out that this figma is from the first ever Disney animation, “Fireball” to debut in Japan!

Retail price is 3,200 yen and will be released in June 2009. Hobby Search has started taking preorders, time to hoot?
I can only say that from the preview pictures, she(it?) will have a lot of accessories. Her price is the same as Signum’s! Wonder if we can match her stuff with the other Figmas..
