Have moved since the start of August  
I know I should have written this long before but it's only now that I actually got to think about it. *facepalms*

I switched to Wordpress for personal reasons. So if you still dig what I write, this is my new place:

Been so long...

Wow. Talk about working in streaks. Yes, after nearly a month of non-stop blogging, I suddenly went to a halt. But now, I'm back to writing about stuff. I don't think I'll be doing much on the toy side anytime soon. I might even change some images on the site. Nevertheless, it's still good to be back and writing again. What have I been up to lately? A lot of personal stuff has happened and I don't want to go emo on this place so I'll just keep all of that to myself, thank you.

It's been raining non-stop for the past couple of weeks and I sort of miss coming to work without that moist and cold feeling at the tip of your toes. Everything around me is either too wet or not-so-wet and to be honest, it's not exactly comfortable. But spray-quality rain is my favorite kind of weather. I'd choose it over the sun beating down on me anyday. I just wish that the rain wasn't so frequent.

I got myself a new coffee cup and it's made of brushed steel. I also have a new desk at the office with the sordid view of Pasig City right outside my wall-wide window. All the stuff at my desk are sorted out properly now and I intend to bring home some of the books that I had carted over for reference during my first year of work here. I might just leave the Flash stuff though. Those ones, I might really need. Hold on...be right back...

Ok, I did a little more sorting today and I got rid of some trash and now, my pedestal (or locker for those who don't know what a pedestal is for people in our office) isn't as heavy and loaded as it was around half an hour ago.

I also bought this cute little soccer ball you can kick around the carpeted floor of the office and it has England in it which is a major part of what I support here in my workplace. Yay, England!

My OYW Gundam is looking lonely. I hope I'd be able to buy that MG Strike real soon. But other stuff are calling for my financial attention so I can't find time to set aside money for the model kit. But I do hope that by Q4, it's already sitting pretty on my desk beside its predecessor.

Anyways, I'll rant about other stuff soon.

PVC Goodness~!  
xpvcgoodness

Been on posting hiatus for the past couple of days but I'm back with two PVC figurines for your googly eyes. Remember the dial-up-connection-killer entry of the awesome Ignis PVC figurine that I posted last time? Well, there's a new one by Alter and it's striking a different pose this time around although I don't think it's anything like the second one which sports a ripped off front with pink 'anime eyes' exposed and staring back at you. Putting that one on your office desk would definitely get you fired...by your female boss no less. But here's a decently covered one. The purple eyes (not those eyes again, you mindless buffoon) look quite nice although they appear to be flat to me rather than 3D.




On the other hand, here's something your male boss would probably promote you for if you actually had this on your desk especially when he passes by your cube every time he comes to work. It's Kotona Excellence from Zoids: Genesis. The bikini design appears to have been taken from an adult game version for Zoids: Genesis.

Yes, the blushing cutie in the white bikini and sporting long blue hair is Kotona Elegance of Zoids: Genesis. She pilots the Zoid called Rainbow Jerk. That's in the normal Zoids continuity. This PVC figurine is by Max Factory and is set to hit the shelves this July. Now if you put that in light of this adult game where the PVC figurine is based on, it doesn't sound anywhere near decent...

Anyways, here are the pics of Kotona in the bikini and...boots (what?!). Yes, boots. Don't ask me. They thought she'd be sexy in boots. Who wears boots in the beach? Well, apparently, she does, if you base it on the figurine. But then it simply looks like she just removed her top and went straight for the salty blue waters. SO THERE! That explains why she's wearing boots in the beach...still not logical though. But anyways, who cares? YOUR BOSS DOES! Promotion's on the way with this baby prancing on top of your desk.




Hehehe...sorry, I just couldn't resist putting chibi images.

Music Medicine

Ok. Before, I'd listen to So Sick by Ne-Yo repeatedly. And then I stopped and started listening to boxing music instead, from the Hajime No Ippo Soundtrack. It made me stand tall (and Stand Tall being one of the victory BGMs of the anime). Anyhoo, last weekend, I ended up watching this feature of Nick Lachey and how he went about making his latest solo album. Yeah, yeah. Cheesy, I know. But what do you care? I understand part of what he's going through right now.

My greatest fear [right now] is being alone. Especially when you already thought you had it.

So yeah, he said he didn't want to be like his dad who got divorced. He believed that when he got married, he wouldn't get divorced, that he'd be able to make it work. But it didn't. And now he's divorced. He was in a relationship where he thought she was the one. I was in that kind of a relationship too. I thought she was the one. And then she left without even trying. People always tell me, maybe it's because you didn't fight for her. Hindi mo siya ipinaglaban. They don't even know what they're talking about. I've been fighting for her for the past 8 months that we were together. My friends and family know about our relationship. [It was a May-December love affair byt I couldn't care any less that she's older.] Did she ever tell anyone from her side about us? Her parents never knew that I was her boyfriend. Neither did her friends know about us. We only had one mutual friend who knew about us because I told her and I even got reprimanded for it. I was reprimanded for being proud of a relationship and for wanting to tell the whole world that I was in love with a woman that I wanted to marry. But she didn't feel the same way. She killed whatever she felt for me when she went job-hunting abroad. And then finally, she told me she no longer felt anything for me. That she no longer loved me. That was a hard pill to swallow but swallow it I did.

I'd rather not go into detail because I don't want to end up badmouthing her especially when my hurt feelings start to resurface. So now, I'm just listening to some songs from Nick's latest album.

I Can't Hate You Anymore

 An empty room can be so deafening,/The silence makes you wanna scream,/It drives you crazy./I chased away the shadows of your name,/And burned the picture in a frame,/But it couldn't save me.

And how could we quit something we never even tried,/Well you still can't tell me why.

We built it up,/To watch it fall./Like we meant nothing at all./I gave and gave the best of me,/But couldn't give you what you need./You walked away,/You stole my life,/Just to find what you're looking for./But no matter how I try,/I can't hate you anymore./...I can't hate you anymore.

You're not the person that you used to be,/The one I want who wanted me,/And that's a shame but,/There's only so many tears that you can cry./Before it drains the light right from your eyes,/And I can't go on that way./And so I'm letting go of everything we were,/It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

Sometimes you hold so tight,/It slips right through your hands./Will I ever understand?

Resolution

 Nothing but an empty page/Breathing in an open space/Captured by your moment's grace again/There's so much I left behind/Even more that waits in time/Everything's so undefined/I'm standing on the edge of my fear/And I see it clear

Here's my resolution/I'm letting go/All I need to learn is along this road/And I just want to be the best man I can be/Breathe, it's my resolution

Living life without a plan/Finding solace where I stand/And learning how to love again/And all I want is something real/That I can feel

What's Left Of Me

 Watch my life pass me by/in the rearview mirror/Pictures frozen in time/are becoming clearer/I don't wanna waste another day/Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes/yeah

'cause I want you/and I feel you/crawling underneath my skin/like a hunger/like a burning/to find the place I've never been/now I'm broken/and I'm fading/I'm half the man I thought I would be/But you can have/What's left of me

I've been dying inside/Little by little/Nowhere to go/But goin' out of my mind/In endless circles/runnin' from myself until/You gave me a reason for standing still

Falling faster/Barely breathing/Give me somethin' to believe in/Tell me it's not all in my head

Take what's left of this man/Make me whole once again

I've been dying inside you see/I'm going out of my mind/Out of my mind/I'm just runnin' in circles all the time

Window shop!  
xwindowshop

So I just came from the mall for my lunch/dinner break (I work during unholy hours...ok, unconventional hours). I headed for Travel Club first and bought that small black bag from Samsonite that I'd been eyeing for quite some time. It had the red Samsonite logo which looked like a ninja symbol. Go for ninja greatness! So after that, I headed for Yoshinoya to eat dinner. Yes, it's 'I' since I normally eat dinner by myself since most of my teammates are either still asleep, on the far side of the room or long gone (didn't even bother to tap my shoulder and ask me if I'd like to come along). For this dinner trip, it was well enough that they didn't ask me to come along since I had plans of buying that small black bag. Anyhoo, so after I went to Yoshinoya where I ate gyudon (Yoshinoya's beef strips are so tender and thin that you'd think they're bacon), green tea and coffee jelly. After that, I headed to Powerbooks to see if they were selling any Magic: the Gathering novels. I was hoping I'd be able to buy the third book in the Ravnica trilogy. Seeing that they didn't have it, I headed for the lower floors to check out the hobby shops. The MG MSA-003 Nemo had new stock in Comic Alley. There were more than enough boxes there to last till probably the next two months given that hardly anyone buys MGs or collects Gundam model kits for that matter. I was hoping they already had the Cosmic Region Infinite Justice but apparently stock hasn't arrived yet. I then headed to Lil's Hobby Store where I was able to buy my Gundam ver. OYW model kit. Nothing new there. They ran out of Hazel model kits (sorry Joey...I know you wanted one). I headed for Comic Quest to check out if they had the Magic: the Gathering novels but all they had were Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms stuff. I did see a Hobby Japan magazine but the bloody bundle of colored paper cost Php980! Bleh.

Having been able to visit my usual spots, I decided to head back to work. Oh yeah! I saw Revoltech stuff in Comic Quest. It was tempting to buy that Getter-1 figure but I decided not to. I was saving up for something more interesting. They also had a Tenjou Tenge figurine by Kaiyodo and this sexy Bome Bunny Girl.
