Well hello again all you Abanzai readers! おいさしぶり！

I’ve been really busy with performances and such, but I’m making it a point to blog more often! (More yabbering after the break).

Welcoming the year of the Rat, here’s something for you hikkikomori’s to enjoy.

Now get out there and start farming some angbaos! GOTTA COLLECT THEM ALL!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! I hope you managed to sneak a COSPA T-shirt into the pocket money your parents gave you to buy new clothes. If you didn’t, that’s a tip of what to do next year ;)

(A few shots of my humble CNY “home celebration” after the break, for the bored and curious.)

Recent holidays proved to be a bumming paradise. Sadly, my N73 is rebelling, it constantly refuses to hook up with my PC, it hangs right before i take a picture, or the joystick refuses to co-operate with my intended directions. I need a camera, and I need one now. I also am short of an mp3 player, a portable gaming console, a Shana plushie and more.

Do not refuse your inner-star’s desires and Right-Click-Save-Picture already.

What I’m not short of, is anime goodness ^^ and no I’m not talking about Box-sets of =Xedo= VCDs or R1 DVDs, nor Dakimakuras with Sanzenin Nagi all over – I speak of the REAL THING. Hint: Azuma Kazuma, Nana & Izumi Konata

Many many kino trips have passed. Many many manga purchases made. Latest purchase: CompAce Jan`08!
Always feels warm and fuzzy to buy an issue of 2008 when New Year’s is still a week away.

Apparently, I missed out on the Comptiq Jan`08 release at KKnM and will thus have to wait until next friday after Christmas to get it from Kino. For those who like to get their Comptiqs from Kino, that’s the date to get it!

After the break: The amazing Lucky Star Christmas pin-up; and other magazines/artbooks: if any of you did buy the following, CARE2SHARE? :D I am ever so tempted to be getting the らき☆すた!

I’ve been so busy that my frequent visits to Kino @ Taka were delayed for nearly two weeks :( NEVER do this if you’re anticipating a monthly manga issue that you REALLLYY WANT.

So I managed to haul my butt down on a sunny Sunday afternoon, hoping to grab something of otaku value. The only thing I got was more MAS* (Merchandise/Manga Acquisition Syndrome) from lots of “IWANT” books RANGE MURATA collections! If only someone started making short animated visuals of his work… SHANA material seems to be very available, so available that i want it to be available in my bookshelves as well! Loli access a reach away from my humble abode, what more can i ask for. Well there was lots more but my friend kept hurrying me, so i didn’t take many pictures of the visual novels, art-books or special releases that would fall under my MANGA “Must And Need to Get ASAP” list. Oh, i did buy some awesome Japanese invention-pens which i’ll ‘review’ when I’m really bored. (click on photos to enlarge)

Chiwassu! … nono… Ossu~! …just, no… Konbanwhowtospell *runs into a corner to cry like an Orihime-chan*

HI! I’m the new shy high saucy and bouncy tofu and i’m gonna bring you aBanzai readers a whole new world, a new fantastic point of view, no one to tell us no or where to go, or say we’re only dreaming… >(( “,>° So oOgA says to write and introductory post, but i’m absolutely dumbfounded – i have never written anything ego-boosting nor self-promoting, even my Resumé lacks the smell of self-esteem.
