Gundam 00 — Episode 13
Oww. My head is spinning. I think I’ve been sleeping too much these days after coming back from Japan. Episode 13 serves to conclude the Azadistan chapter, laying the way for the new OP/ED next episode.
Comiket 73 – Part III: Random Shots
I’m back in Singapore. I had fever yesterday. Gao. Anyway, I sorted through my photos and I realized that they were quite shitty. I blame it all on the lighting. Because Japanese are completely asinine about getting their photos taken, … Continue reading
Comiket 73 – Part II: Loot
I’m back from the last day of Comiket. I took a ton of pictures today with my press pass but I will only be posting them at a later date. First, I shall go through my spoils. I spent less … Continue reading

School Days Train Stations
It’s my sixth day in Tokyo. I spent the whole of last night standing in the rain at near-zero temperature for about 9 hours. Comiket is insanity. But I’ll talk about that in its own post. Yesterday, I took a … Continue reading

Today was almost as tiring as yesterday because I had to lug my 2.5kg laptop around. An EEE PC would really come in handy when I’m traveling. It’s the fourth day of our little adventure in Tokyo and we took … Continue reading
Otome Road and Doujinshi
It’s my second day in Tokyo. It’s only 8pm right now but it feels like midnight because the sun sets at 4pm… We overslept and missed Tsukiji, and ended up spending the whole day in Ikebukuro. (Otome Road in particular.) … Continue reading

Gundam 00 — Episode 12
This episode is pretty awesome because it does not have 10 minutes of contrived Allelujah emo, and it has some politics and background information about the world of Gundam 00! I love those. And of course, like all the other … Continue reading
Appleseed: Ex Machina Contest
This one is for North Americans only. Full disclosure: I was contacted by M80, a grassroot marketing agency, who is representing Warner Brothers. Since I’m such a sellout and I’m lazy to fill this blog with actual original content, I … Continue reading
