Update: SMASH! and Animania reports coming soon

August 29, 2008 · Filed Under Conventions, Daily Life · 5 Comments 

Hi guys! Just a very quick note that I’m still here ^^;;

Part #2 of the smash report still isn’t complete, though I really want to finish it and just post it already >.<;; Hopefully it’ll be out by early next week (if anyone’s still interested… ^^;).

As for Animania, it should be a fairly short report as I was only there Sunday and wasn’t really in a photo taking mode. I’ll be sure to post up some links to other blogs who would have done a better job than me, hehe~

Quick question, would you be interested in reading more ‘daily life’ type entries? Like stuff that happens at home, food I’ve eaten, what I’m currently watching (drama, anime mostly) etc. So far I’ve only really covered things which are Japan-related but not anime, manga or drama.

Hey guys! SMASH! (’Smash’ from this point forward xD;) was really something special this year, I didn’t think it could top last year’s event by much but I was gladly proven wrong ;D

Warning, post is pretty long =o

I didn’t get a chance to type up a proper post after all orz u_u~

I’ll be at karaoke early in the morning, after I quickly browse through artist alley.
And~ I’ll be joining the karaoke competition and hopefully be in the finals, not sure what songs I’ll be singing just yet, but definitely “Dhalia - I’ll Be Your Love”.

If you see me there, say hello!

Happy Birthday~!

Wordpress upgrade 2.6

Hi guys~ Just a short notice that I’ve upgraded, please tell me if you notice any changes with my plugins by any chance or if anything else looks funny hehe~

Used a nifty plugin to upgrade straight from admin, very easy to use. It’s called Wordpress Automatic Upgrade, yes I know, not very a original name, but it works =D

What plugins can you not live without? I have a few… which I won’t be listing now as I should be in bed orz lol. Also, do you upgrade regularly (if indeed you do need to)?

Upcoming & current otaku events

July 12, 2008 · Filed Under Conventions, Sydney · 6 Comments 

Just a short a quick update for fellow Sydney-siders and Australian otakus x3~

First up is Australia wide:
Reel Anime 2008 - Japanese movie screenings Australia

It started on the 3rd of this month, but you have until the 16 to catch any one of the great movies they have to offer. There’s:

Appleseed Ex Machina: Japanese audio, english subtitles
Batman: Gotham Knight: English audio
Vexille: Japanese audio, english subtitles
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time: Japanese audio, english subtitles

Unfortunately, they’re only screening at one location for each city, you can see more screening details here.

Lucky for me, there’s only one thing I would have liked to watch and I’ve already seen “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” (long name xD;;), because I really don’t like visiting Newtown. Last time I visited was to watch Howl’s moving Castle as it was the only place with subtitles, not really worth visiting the area though =_=;;. On the other hand, they are running a competition at participating Dendy cinemas, might interest someone ^^.

Sydney event~:

My favourite event~! The Sydney Manga and Anime Show (or SMASH for short) will be held at the Roundhouse@UNSW Kingsford, very easy to get to. To find out more just click on the banner x3.

Pre-registration has been extended ’till the 18th (you have to pay by then to be eligible for the pre-reg pricing), so you can still enjoy a full day for just $10! If you miss out or still not sure if you’re attending, it’s still a very cool $15 at the door for an all-day event which starts at 10am and ends at 8pm.
I must warn you though, best to get there early with pre-reg or else you’ll be there past 11am waiting to get in =x Happened last year when it made its debut!

The reason I love SMASH so much is the atmosphere and the people behind the event, have had the pleasure of meeting a lot of the committee members even though I’m not a volunteer ^^; You just have to participate in the events!
SMASH is also very artist-friendly~ I’ll be taking lot’s of photos (on my crappy camera ^^;;) this year so you guys can see just how many artists there are, tables were sold out ages ago too x3

I’ll be adding more info on SMASH as the date draws nearer, will mention what events I’m interested in as well ;D

Any plans to head on over to these events? I hope to see you guys at SMASH and maybe Animania… speaking of which, pre-regs are now open, not sure if I can go just yet u_u~

Questions & comments always welcomed & appreciated~ =3
