August Updates

But first, Happy Birthday Koshiko~!

Ok, enough with that, it’s been some time since my last entry so there’s a few things I need to mention…

First, I hope you guys like the new layout~ It was a fairly simple ‘make over’ job, the hardest thing was trying to figure out where to place each colour, some of you may have seen some changes happening as you visited, lol! The layout is the same, just different colours, a background [stolen from my twitter account, hehe~] and no random header images any more [they may come back on my next layout change].
Tell me what you think~

Also, if you missed it, check out the temporary page I had up -> temp homepage. Cute or no? :3

Back~

June 2, 2009 · Filed Under Conventions, Daily Life · 14 Comments 

Yes, I’ve been back since the 31st of April ^^;; Been extremely busy trying to get back into my normal, everyday life lol~
I only had a few days to relax and then I went to a meeting with a previous employer to discuss a new project. Started work the next Monday ^^;;

As to when I’ll post? Well, I can’t quite post any of my photos yet as I have quite few to go through [try over 16gb! orz] before I even think about starting on any posts regarding my trip to Chile xD; I’ll get to it, eventually… I’ll just say I had fun and would definitely go again, next time with more funds lol~

SMASH! is coming soon~ and we’re officially part of the artist circle for Sunday~ We wanted Saturday & Sunday, but we were too slow with the application and missed out orz… not to worry, we’ll see how we go this year before we decide on anything for next year [will apply earlier if we do end up doing so again... likely xD;]. SMASH! will be happening on the 8th & 9th of August this year, please look forward to it~! More info at the website -> SMASH!

Check out our new twitter page~ I’ve changed the layout, it’s now fully customised with our furudango logo and mascots :3 Meanwhile I’ll be working on updating the layout for this blog ;3

Update: SMASH! and Animania reports coming soon

August 29, 2008 · Filed Under Conventions, Daily Life · 8 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.

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!

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
