Unresting On A Sunday...

Grabbed a few of my Revoltechs(from top: Tetsujin 28, Gurren Lagann, Getter Dragon), slapped some prints behind them and bam! Instant crappo from moi.

Sunod ko na lang yung iba, pag nabawasan 'tong antok at katamaran ko...

Mother Nature Says 'I Love You'!

Minsan talaga, you never know what you'll find in your backyard. Lalagyan ng panggatong na kahoy itong sinibulan ng little green 'hearts'...

Glass, Light and Color...

Stained glass windows dito sa simbahan sa Sta. Maria( Immaculate Concepcion Church). Matagal ko na rin gustong mag-ikot sa iba-ibang simbahan, or kahit anong establishments na me ganitong windows, magandang subject sa photography kasi.

Nothing fancy about the pics, basically raw shots. 'Shopping it would make no sense, really...

Just...Pics

Yumi Sayaka and Mazinger Z. Miho Kirishima, aka Kamen Rider Femme....

Just thought I try out a little 'before and after' kinda thing, just to give an idea on the scale of the figs in my collection...

Nine Piece!(Wait, What?)

How Oda-san manages to ring up 9 main characters and make it work is beyond me...

Choto Mate Kudasai...

Haven't bagged a single Elder Dragon yet in my MH game. Kinda odd considering I'm HR5 already. Been picking on 'easy' prey lately( Kutkus, Rathalos...), just because I don't know what direction to go with my game, hehe. Break a leg going up the ranks, or backtrack and try to clean up unchecked quests?....

And yeah, if anyone's asking what ever happened to work , it's precisely that - nothing. Medyo( and I'm putting it lightly) mahina work ngayon, since mid-last year pa in fact. We're now doing layouts for every 10th episode of the HeartCatch series now, as opposed to alternating eps dati. There's a few One Piece work here and there, but nothing much, really. Here's hoping there's still that nice light down the road...

Star and Moon

Went outside for some reason tonight, and looked at the nightsky...

A crescent moon, with a star neatly sitting on top of it. Too bad my camera can't zoom in as much. It looks surreal and pretty at the same time...

Kamen Rider The Next Outtakes...

Kamen Rider 1: Ore...Sanjou!
Kamen Rider 2: Omae, boku ni tsuraretemiru?
Kamen Rider V3: Kotae wa kiitenai!!
Director: CUT-TOH !!!!! (bites megaphone...)

Wake Up! Break the Chains of Destiny( yada yada...)

And here they are.
Ixa Rising Form and Kiva Emperor Form. I could've taken more pics kaso the freaking heat's totally unbearable again today...

Orphenochs: A National Geographic Special

The level of details with the creature designs for Faiz is ridiculously amazing. There're more Orphenochs in the series than I would care to remember. Too bad not all of them were made into figures, but the ones that were available are a treat just the same.

Left to right: Stingfish, Snake, Crane, Goat and Wolf(Takumi/Faiz)Orphenochs...

Girls In Uniform and a Fraulein...

Top: Gurren Lagann's trigger-happy girl Yoko; Goranger's Peggy Matsuyama in the middle, and Kegalesia from Go-Ongers taking time out to strike a pose at our backyard.

Yoko and Kegalesia's courtesy of Taka-san, while Peggy's brought to you by Mike, my cool bro from the states. Thanks, guys!

Pretty In Pink! Likes Anything That Goes BOOM!!

Yay! Suuugoi! Taka-san arrived here last Saturday to thank the Philippine staff personally for a job well done on his directorial debut PrettyCure AllStars Movie...

Tumawag pala sya nung Holy Wednesday sa studio(around 6pm daw) para tanungin nga kami kung ano gusto naming pasalubong - most of the guys(including me) have gone home by then, so he had to call up again Monday. Long story short: pinabili ko tong SIC Spirits Momoranger and a Fraulein Revoltech Yoko( pic next time )...

Hopefully I can take some pics of him and the guys and post it here. Sa Friday pa naman alis nya...

Black In Summer Time...

Had to bring out the rest of the guys out of their boxes - baka kumunat yung mga abs plastics or whatever these guys' parts are made of...

Sina Hakaider and Bijinder matagal na rin sa kin to: si Hakai bigay ng kapatid ko, while si Biji nabili ko on sale sa CTS. Her backing board was all messed up, but i still fetched her for 1200, much to the saleslady's bewilderment. There's another customer sa store na nakitingin pa sa Biji fig - prolly wondering the same thing too. Clueless scum, bwahaha...

Raida ,Jump! Raida, KICKU !!! SIC Pictorials Caused a Sunburn on my Nape!!

Kung kelan pa kainitan ng araw saka pa ko tinopak magpictorial. I showed off my SIC collection over at TVNihon so it's only fitting i post them here dapat. I only posted the group pic there. The rest andito. No need to label them na, since recognizable naman.

Kamen Rider Amazon, Kamen Rider X, Shadowmoon as well as Hongo Takeshi are not represented on my header, kaya me pictorial sila rito. So, Dozo!

April Hoopla! Aargh, The Freakin' Heat!!

The summer heat's totally unbearable here! I know it's just 32degrees Celsius, and that it's worse in other places, but man! No wonder people are plunging in Manila Bay's waters, kahit me basura pa sa tubig, hehe!...

So, ano na ba? April opened up with the Conficker threat, which may or may NOT have been for real, pero people are taking precautions just in case. Nothing wrong with that di ba? I backed up our pc na rin. The wifey got herself a 500gb external drive( i only have an 80gb pc hard drive ), so everything's stacked safely there. 'Sides, dun na rin namin nilalagay mga download naming toku and jdorama shows, as well as everyday pics and stuff. Nice item to have around, really...

Holy Week's up, so probably by Holy Wednesday or so vacation na kami. We were told that Toei would be sending extra animation works for us to do at home, to be passed next week. Yep, they never miss a beat when there's a holiday here, hehe!

Oh, and as a side hobby i joined up on TV-Nihon's website. My first time to try out joining a forum/board on the internet. My username's Monkeyranger there; just started joining in on the conversation yesterday: on the Kamen Rider Decade episode10 thread, where i posted my very first entry. Earlier in the day i joined in the Ponyo thread. They were talking about the english dub and translations issue, and i dropped in my 2cents worth. Check it out here.

Heard from our bosses that the Precure AllStars Movie did quite well, despite the fact that Taka's directorial debut was 'expensive' to make( more drawings/sheet count ). They say it earned 34% more than the previous movie, and that's a big difference! So i would like to say to 'Pogi Nice Guy' Taka-san : OMEDETO ONEGAISHIMASU !!!

Calm Before the Storm...

Waddaya know, it's October already!

Legal holiday today, option to work pero opted to rest muna. Just had our videoconferencing with our Japanese counterparts yesterday for the Pretty Cure movie. I have until next Saturday to finish scene 22, which has 16 cuts in all. Baka sa Friday ko pa maumpisahan since i'll be finishing my lay-outs for episode 41 of the tv series tomorrow.
First post for the month is this Kamen Rider Agito Ground Form S.I.C. Sya muna upload ko kasi hindi sya nasali dun sa group shot sa header ko, along with Amazon. They're the couple ones with the awesome bikes. Agito has Machine Tornader, while Amazon has Jungler. Yeah, funny names them Japanese come up with. Si Amazon next time na lang siguro ko kuhanan ng pic...

Momoranger's Revenge! Never Mess With A Bomb Expert!

Yep, I guess justice was served last week at last.

In a matter of days, those filthy rat-henchmen came and had a dose of momo payback. With a few well-placed bomb pellets ( rat poison ), timed to explode at the last minute, our heroine was able to exact revenge upon those evil-doers who have done her wrong! Fight, brave Momoranger! Go!

Super Imaginative Chogokin Collection! ( Creepy Insect Thingies )

KAMEN RAIDA BURAKKU!
This one wins the best Imaginative Chogokin category hands down. Look at him - he's not even black, hehe! He's nothing at all like his tv version, save that emblem on his left chest. Kenji Ando put his best work here i think. Black's still a stand-out, even among the newer chogokins out there ( they're all cool by the way ), I guess it would be easy for Ando and Takayuki Takeya (the other sculptor) to render the other figures in the same style as Black, but instead they gave each one its own unique look and style, which i think is great.

So far i have Black, V3 and Riderman, Kuuga, Hibiki and Todoroki, Amazon with Jungler, and Agito with Machine Tornader in my collection. Oddly enough, i don't have the original Riders, hehe! I'm aiming to collect all the Showa Era Riders in S.I.C. form ( X is available now, they've yet to come out with Stronger, Skyrider and Super-1). Not sure if i can snag them all( a bit expensive), but at least i have the real good ones!
Be posting other S.I.C. pics later...

Of Birthdays and More Hard Work Part 2

Saraaap ng handa! Ribs, crab, shrimp was served, plus a few more dishes.The cake was good, too. It's a caramel cake( peborit ni mabs; medyo caramel-intolerant na ko pero tama lang pala ang sweetness ng cake), and in no time ubos na agad.

S'pose ta do some lay-outs for Precure Ep.39, but ended up coming up with a birthday sketch for mabs instead. Took me almost the whole day to come up with an idea, and sure enough i think i came up with just the right one.The suit comes complete with the chewed-off helmet. Speaking of which...

Still no sign of them dirty rat(s). Must be mutants or something. Dami na nilang kinain na rat poison ah! ...
