She’s waiting for you 

While surfing a couple of image boards just a few hours back, I came across a category of images which has been tagged ‘paper child’.

I don’t really know how to explain paper child with descriptive words, but I can briefly say that it is actually paper cut outs of anime characters, with optional speech bubble, made to look 3D using ‘optical illusion’.

Nikon D700 & SB900 - my shiny new bling

Now that I’ve had my Canon EOS 400D for just over a year and a half and it being a very good camera and had served me well in my journey to discover photography.

The EOS 400D is a great camera I must say, especially for starters and those wanting to pick up a DSLR but not wanting to spend too much on a professional body.

So why Nikon and not stick to Canon? And why the upgrade?

The Power of Moe

Deculture!

I was just checking Japanator a few hours back when I came across an rather interesting article.

Don’t know how many of you readers watch Macross Frontier but I certainly do enjoy that series a whole lot. With moe moe Ranka and sultry sexy Sheryl Nome (SSS lol), and of course with all the included action and mecha fighting and insert songs, who doesn’t? ^^;

But I’m not going to talk about Macross Frontier, but instead, the powerful weapon that can make even the most hardened veteran fighters drop their weapons and form moe hearts in their eyes.

This rather new phenomenon has started to appear over the internets.

Can you guess it? The clue’s in the picture ^^

Cosfest 2008: Ayu Tsukimiya

Nyaa.. Uguu?!

A very much overdue set of photos from Cosfest 2008. Too much replaying of Diablo II again has somewhat distracted me from posting this up.

This time we have a real life Ayu Tsukimiya from Key’s (adult) visual novel Kanon, who has decided to make an appearance at Cosfest. She came crashing into me in the shopping district, and then suddenly took my hand and started running.

Eventually, I learned that she’d stolen some taiyaki and was on the run. I was wondering what any of this had to do with me but I had no choice but to duck into a cafe to hide from the taiyaki baker.

I was actually very much shocked when I realize how much resemblance the real life Ayu has to the game’s Ayu.

Duck into the cafe as well to get more pictures!
