Madman Specials - on now~!
Madman is having a huge sale at this very moment!

I was kinda bummed when I sent a few Gundam links to my brother but it turned out they were out of stock… was I too late in visiting? The problem was Madman doesn’t label their email properly, it says from ‘newsletter’ and the title didn’t mention it either, just something along the lines of ‘Otaku wear’, actually, here’s the full title as it was written:

from: newsletter – OTAKUWEAR AND COLLECTABLES CLEARANCE SALE!

Anyhow, managed to visit it earlier and woah, quite a few rare figures =o go have a look now! And click the ‘read more’ to find out what my brother and I ordered for ourselves ;3

Orzaku – back from hiatus?

October 20, 2008 · Filed Under Daily Life, Internet · 12 Comments 

Orzaku... orz... - Photo by Dannychoo.com, orzaku drawn by me [Koshiko]

Ya, visited Dannychoo.com and found this photo like it was just for me xD; I spent a good 2 hours or so creating orzaku as I’m short a tablet pen =/

Anyhow, main reason for this post is a short apology for anyone who’s been visiting and found this blog dead and for my blogroll friends as I haven’t visited your blogs or commented, sorry u_u~
There’s no real reason for disappearing, I simply tend to disappear from online communities without notice at random times, this is probably the longest I’ve lasted and the shortest time away xD;

Thanks to Dannychoo.com, I’ve been able to meet a lot of lovely people online who share the same interest and a few in real life :3 I’ve also gathered up enough courage and enthusiasm to start up a proper blog and comment fairly regularly on other blogs as well. I would love to meet more people, but I can’t kid myself, at the moment I’m just not very good at dealing with a lot of people and I wouldn’t be fair on you if I can’t share myself with a genuine heart.
If I comment on your blog or happen to add you to my blogroll, it’s because I really enjoy what you share on your blog and what you say is important to me.

I guess my main point is, if I ‘disappear’ for a bit in the future [hopefully not, finger crossed], it’s not you, it’s me, lol. Problem seems to be that I have too many interests, have personal and professional projects popping up everywhere and/or simply loose track of time, I honestly hadn’t realised how many weeks had passed ^^;;

With all that said, I’ve been visiting a few of you in the last 2 or so days, but I thought it might be best to write this up before I continue. I’ve also made a few changes to the blog, you probably won’t really notice them, but they’re not so important anyways. And I’ve updated 1 or 2 links perhaps, those are important ^_~.

Any comments, etc are always appreciated and I hope to see you again soon <3

Wordpress upgrade 2.6

July 17, 2008 · Filed Under Internet · Comment 

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)?

Storm Trooper Danny Choo on CNN

July 11, 2008 · Filed Under Internet · Comment 

Go Danny, dance~

One of things Danny is well known for on his website, dannychoo.com, is his Tokyo Storm Trooper videos from around Tokyo, Japan.

He’s been to Akihabara and Shibuya, two very popular hangouts in Tokyo for otakus and the younger crowds of Tokyo, now he’s appeared at the iPhone launch in Omotesando.

You can see him on the CNN website, or for a limited time (probably a few days?), I’ll have it available for download as well =D

Edit: You can see Danny’s coverage of the iPhone lead-up and opening on the following links (in order of post):
