Gundam 00 S2 — Episode 08

Episode 8 has so much dorama and lulz, it’s like anime blogging. Maybe someday there will be a Genshiken-style anime about blogging and the blogosphere will finally have its very own Madarame. Or is that Cory Doctorow? In any case, … Continue reading

Over. Singapore’s first anime convention is. It’s been an eventful two days and I’m quite happy with the way it ended. Now we can start looking forward to next year. Also, I just woke up and my head hurts.

Gundam 00 S2 — Episode 07

What a sweet episode. Things seldom go so smoothly in a Gundam storyline full of misunderstandings and betrayals, at least not till the grand finale. Then again, this may just be a setup for the next emotional free fall. As … Continue reading

Acer Aspire One

I’ve been thinking of getting a netbook since the original ASUS EEE PC, the granddaddy of netbooks, reared its tiny 7″ screen into this world and some Intel marketing serf came up with the term “netbook”, which by the way … Continue reading

Gundam 00 S2 — Episode 05

This is hands down the most boring episode so far. Maybe next episode will be more exciting when Marina and Setsuna die in a fiery plane crash. I’m so hungry and sleepy.

Gundam 00 S2 — Episode 04

Meh. It’s an okay episode. Slightly less interesting than playing Macross Ace Frontier, but definitely better than watching paint dry. If I have to rank this episode on the scale of one to five, it’s a koala bear. It’s cute … Continue reading
