Anime Festival Asia 2012 (Singapore)

Here's to wishing I was personally present during this year's Anime Festival Asia in Singapore. I bet most otakus here in our country would like to be there and experience one of the best anime events ever! Thankfully, my friend Soul of  http://armchairgamedeveloper.blogspot.com/ went there on November 10, 2012. It was held at Singapore Expo Halls 7 & 8. Soul gave me these photos to share. If you have time, go visit his blog for game reviews. 

I was very happy and excited when he explained the photos one by one. And I was left imagining the whole place! It was as if I were personally there! Here it is:

First stop is the Kopitiam of Danny Choo. That is the official name of his booth. According to Soul, Kopitiam is a portmanteau of the Malay word Kopi (Coffee) and the Hokkien word Tiam (Shop). So it means coffee shop

Here is the Mirai Itasha! Wow! Now I would like to have a car like that!

Now I am very excited for the Rurouni Kenshin movie that will hit Philippine theaters on December 5, 2012! The movie had an official booth in AFA which showcased the original costumes as worn by the actors.

I told Soul to never forget to take pictures of the cosplayers present! But being on a rush, he was only able to take two photos. But he did manage to take a shot of the popular Gundam cosplayer. I was like "Wow! Is that Clive Lee?"

On stage, there was a cosplay competition, hosted by Danny Choo. Here is Soul's only photo of that event:

Other than these, Soul also took photos of the toys. Actually, he had more photos of the toys compared to booths and cosplayers. ~(-_-)~


Gundams!

...and more Gundams!

Sexy anime girls figures.

Vocaloid nendoroids! Awww....

More cutseyness!

A Miku Nendoroid! I want to take this home! 
Wow! Danny Choo! Cosplayers! Toys! Even if I were not personally present in this grand event, I am so grateful that Soul presented it to me in wonderful photos! The event was a sure success!  Now I have a new wish... to be there in next year's AFA!

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
