Gundam Astray 1/144 Scale

As mentioned in my previous post, Cosplay Mania 2011 (which was held on October 1) gave me another opportunity to join the Gundam Model Kits Caravan! Other than cosplay, merchandisers, fancy booths, and fantastic stage performances, I now look forward to an hour or two of Gundam moments. I just love setting up mechas!

This time around, we were given a kit to assemble Gundam Astray. As you all may have known, the first Gundam that I set up was also of the same name. But that was Gundam Astray 1/60 scale. It was a cute chibi Gundam. :) Having another version of Astray would look nice in my growing collection. I was very happy to accept the kit for 1/144 Astray.

I have noticed that the parts are simpler and easier to assemble than the 1/60 Gundam Astray. That’s a good point, right? :) This time, I made some techniques on detailing. I have decided to assemble the part and put ink on it right away. It was the opposite of what I did to Gundam Kyrios, where I assembled the mecha first before drawing the details on it. I was glad that the staff gave me a better marker this time, though the tip was broken. Thus, it gave out overly large marks.

Here is the process for Gundam Astray:

Part 1: Left Leg

Part 2: Right Leg

Part 3: Left arm

Part 4: Right arm

Part 5: Torso

Part 6: Legs + Torso

Part 7: Legs+torso+head

Part 8: Putting all parts together!

Yay! My new baby is complete! It is the third Gundam of my collection, entry number 47. Unfortunately, I still didn’t win this time. However, I am proud to say that I have better control with detailing now. Indeed, practice brings improvement.

When 6 PM came, I got too busy during the event. It was a fun-filled day after all. Sadly, I came back to the Bandai Gunpla booth too late and I wasn’t able to take photos of the winning Gundams. :( Sorry guys. But don’t worry! I have learned my lesson and will post more about Gundams next time! Oh! If only I can track the caravan’s itinerary! :)

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead. I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore 2019 planner! The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did! Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included! He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench . Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather. I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner. The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
