Team Shinsengumi

ok, this just came out of the blue...

i've always wanted to cosplay the Shinsengumi (particularly okita) because i feel that he is an awesome guy who has a sad end. He is capable of doing so much more, and with the advances in medical technology nowadays, he could very well be saved. 

ANYWAY, enough of history for now...

I'm talking about Team Shinsengumi....

I haven't been planning my cosplays since last year (i left everything to Riko...LOL) and i've been using recycled costumes for this year's cosplay....

So, i did some thinking and lol....well, this is what i came up with...

NOTE: i'm not forcing/making/pointing a gun to your head/ ordering seppuku for anyone who is listed in the below listings....it's just what i feel would be most suitable...^^ Whether or not you take up the challenge it's up to you ya......XD i'm not hijikata...i wont order anyone to commit seppuku..haha...(ok, that shows how much i'm obsessed with Hakuouki now)

AHEM~~~

Team Shinsengumi

Hijikata Toshizou - Tsu

Okita Souji - hito (WOW..another DEAD character! WEeeee....=_=)

Saitou Hajime - Relyss 

Heisuke Toudou - Riko 

Yukimura Chizuru - Riko / See Wah (depends on these 2..haha...but i feel Riko would be a better candidate...she not as 'FOXY' as See Wah because Chizuru ISNT AT ALL FOXY..haha..)

the version i'm looking at?

OF COURSE and MOST OBVIOUSLY the western version..!!!

OMGWTHBBQPWNAGEPEWPEW AWESOME!

nice can?

OH LOOKIE!! the front page of the artbook i have in the house now! *grins*

YUp, so there....

as to when i wish to debut this....HOPEFULLLY....hopefully *prays* next year....

because now i'm currently facing some financial difficulties....but heck, i'll pull through it....

(that means NO MORE FIGURINES....NO MORE OUTINGS.....well, at least for the month of May...haha..)

So, i wonder....anyone's with me..??? XD

OH, another thing....

WEEEE..ANOTHER OTOME GAME COSPLAY!!! (past cosplays of otome games/series : Fushigi Yuugi, Vampire Knight, La Corda)

Listening to : Hakuouki Zuisoroku - Harari

Mood : Shinsengumi high! XD

 

My body gave in....

After the wondrous albeit tiresome weekend, my body finally gave in....

I've had symptoms of flu prior to the VGL weekend already, but i thought...MEH, it's just a little petty issue....nothing to worry about.

without much rest after the VGL night, i went to career fair the following day in Mid Valley. i think i barely slept for 5 hours that night. 

And knowing how fairs are like in malaysia (pushing, shoving, knocking...etc) obviously it'll take a whole lotta energy to go. And i haven't had much of any water for the past few days.....

i know i drank less than usual...and well, this is what has happened now...

SO, yeah.....i'm sick...and i'm broke..

it's such a pathetic state i'm in now....did i mention that i hated APRIL MUCH?

APRIL is the suckiest month ever..(ok...except that VGL happened on that month..LOL)

but every year, i hated April very much.....

i don't know why......i just hate april.....it's a month of hardships and obstacles...

please april, just come to an end...you are a sucky and lousy month...

Video Games Live Malaysia 2010

OMAIGOD, VIDEO GAMES LIVE WAS THE AWESOME-EST EVENT... IT'S THE AWESOME SAUCE...!!!!!!!!

(for you guys who didn't go, pity you guys....coz it was one of the MOST AWESOME-EST BREATHTAKING EVENT EVAR!!!!!)

ahem.....anyway..
yeah, VGL Malaysia 2010 (oh, have i mentioned that it was SUPERBLY AWESOME?!?)
the moment i knew about this concert/orchestra, i immediately had to notify my gaming friends about it, and i got Tsu and Kam to go to this AWESOME event with me! (WEEEEeeeEE!!)

we had a few bumps here and there before we left (i couldn't find my purse, Kam forgot his handphone in his car, blablabla.....LOL)
THEN, when we reached the federal highway, OMAIGOD, it was jammed up from Subang......
i believe it was because of the Job Fair happening in Mid Valley Megamall.....and also PC Fair in KLCC.
ANYWAY, we had company in the car, so it was a not-so-boring ride...haha...

SO, when we reached KLCC, parking was relatively easy to find, much to our surprise. We though that with PC Fair clashing with the VGL (AWESOME) event, parking would be a pain in the ass...(or maybe we were lucky? LOL)

ANYWAYS.....when we got into the complex, we headed over to KINOKUNIYA....(where else?!)
and me and tsu were actually looking for COSMODE issue 33, but it was none to be seen on the shelves...the reason? we were actually looking for the book to SEE RIKO IN THE BOOK...(yup, she made it into COSMODE..!!!! XD CONGRATS GURL!!!)

so, with no book 33 around, my attention shifted to another book....
the HAKUOUKI ARTBOOK.....lol.....
there was already a browsing copy opened, so i kinda took the book and flipped through, and they had almost, if not all, of the images from the game in the book!!!
(it would be the BEST reference EVER!!!)
SO, i was contemplating whether or not to get the book, and finally i asked riko for her rationale advice....whilst Tsu and Kam were bickering over whose drink tasted worst ( they ordered Iced Peach Tea and Iced Berry Tea....dunno why they ordered that..LOL), i went down to the shelf and picked up the book....yeah, Riko wanted to share the book with me, so we decided that we would both pay 50-50 for the book....haha...

THEN, we loitered around the complex and finally went over to PC FAIR (because it was still early!)
i once again, spent on another thing....HAISH....
an ORANGE earphone..haha......the color was so tempting...and the earphone that i had was already.er......broken? (sometimes there's sound, sometimes none..=_=)

then we headed over to the hall and waited to enter....
blablablabla.........
then it started...haha...VGL(AWESOME) STARTED FINALLY..!!!!!!
it brought me back to those nostalgic times......Contra, Motor Sport, Final Fight, Mortal Combat.....ALL those games on Micro Genius and SNES....omg....it was so nostalgic....
and the songs played were superb..!!!!

ONE WINGED ANGEL was the BEST....it was the best amongst them all...nuff said.....
(then there were megaman, zelda, hikari -kingdom hearts-, snake eater, castlevenia, halo, World of Warcraft, Mario.......I COULD GO ON!!!!)
IT WAS THE BEST!!!

then at the end of the show, we had a meet and greet sessions with the people who brought us the wonderful music......
Tommy Tolarico (his guitar skillz WERE SUPERB!!!)
Orchestra Conductor, Jack (OMAIGOD.....best conductor EVER!!!),
NORIHIKO HIBINO (OMGWTHBBQPEWPEW THE MAN BEHIND METAL GEAR SOLID'S SONGS!) and

the girl who played the flute and cosplayed as Link from zelda (sorry..!! i didn't get her name..><)

and guess where they signed on?
MY PSP..!!!! YESSSSSs...!!!!
me and tsu let them autographed on our PSPs...!!!
(seriously, the next time they come i'll bring my PS2....really!)

IT WAS THE BEST EVER...!!
everything was worth it, the sore throat from the screaming, the numbness from the clapping, the horrible traffic jam....EVERYTHING!!
IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY...!!
i hope they will come back next year because i would wanna attend this event again.
This time i'll buy an even more expensive ticket.
i was kinda worried because they said the afternoon show was a let down...
not many turned up.......
and when i told Tommy to come back next year, he said ' Well, I hope so'.....
which wasn't very convincing....><

The 3 clowns

me and foxy (uke)....I MISSED HER!! XD

VGL...before it started (see that green head on the screen? XD)

kira? XD

me, tsu and kam XD

my spoils..XD

Hakuouki FTW (Okita is love)

MY PSP!!!!

Listening to : Final Fantasy XIII - Senkou
Mood : still high from VGL.....*stares at my psp*

Lookie at what i PreOrdered last week!

yup, i'm expecting a figurine coming on late June and July, and now i added one more to late August...

i just preordered this.....

TADAH!!!!

CUTE!!!!

YUP! it's the Junjou Petit Nendos....!!

i remember seeing the 2D version/sketch out last year and i was so eager to get this. BUT after some scouting around, i discovered it was a special release only in Japan...BUT, hey...TFM manage to secure 10 units, so hopefully i'll have these babies in my hands in August (or September - you know, sometimes they'll be delayed, but lets hope that doesn't happen eh?)

First we have Misaki.....XD XD

i couldn't help but have the word 'CUTE' running through my mind everytime i see him...haha...

AWwwwww......the cute little uke face...XD

Ain't he a cutie? no wonder he stays forever the UKE....the moment i set eyes on this set, i knew by hook or by crook i need to get my hands on them...

it's every collector's (yaoi...at that..LOL) dream!

next, we have the ever smirkish USAGI SENSEI!! XD

goodness gracious! the cutest SEME ever..!! XD

lol....i know i know...usami's hair is supposed to be silverish, but i think the manga had his hair brown instead? (i can't really remember....i got the images of the manga and anime mixed up in my mind...=_=)

BUT...OMGWTHBBQPEWPEWCUTE!!! XD

and a little bonus...

SUZUKI SAN!!! XD

YUP, you could never miss out the ever huggable Suzuki san if you're talking about Junjou Romantica...^^ The illustration look nicer though, but oh well.....^^;;;

So, i guess there's where all my $$$ went.... but i couldn't resist it..!!!

i mean, WHO COULD???? XD XD

AUGUST....come come come..! XD

Listening to : Hakuouki - Kimi no Kioku

Mood : JUNJOU~~~<3

Hakuouki...hmm....plans?

okay...i saw hakuouki's 1st anime episode already, though i'm not entirely sure what the story is about (somehow it reminds me of Togainu no Chi, only during feudal era)

i'm starting to like Okita and Saitou.....so most probably in the near future, i'll be cosplaying either one of them.....

(well, for now it's 70% okita, because to me, okita is A LiTTLE WEE BIT like gin...LOL.....)

it's best if i could get Saitou and Hijikata....

(well, more particularly Hijikata.....^^;;;)

though, Chizuru would sound pretty nice because it IS an otome anime/game....haha...

So peeps.....any takers for Hijikata*coughs???coughs*/ Saitou*coughsRELYSScoughs*/ Chizuru*coughsRIKOcoughs*

Sakura Gari - BEST YAOI ever made

no, i'm not standing on Junjou's side, or anything else....

Sakura Gari is the best yaoi ever made.

It finally ended..(actually the final chapter was released back in march, but my connection sucked so bad, i kinda gave up reading it)

ANYWAY~~~

Sakura Gari is by far the best yaoi manga very made/wrote/drawn..

Hats off to Yuu Watase...she is indeed the Goddess of tragic/heart wrenching stories...

I thought Fushigi Yuugi was sad, heck i even cried non stop for Zettai Kareshi...

but that was normal love stories.....

i never knew i could feel so much for the characters for Yaoi series...

It wasn't just senseless sex and lust...the storyline was, hmm...i dunno it's beyond words...

(or maybe i'm just a sucker for tragic stories..haha.. somehow i love reading sad/heart wrenching love stories...LOL)

unlike Junjou (not that i'm saying Junjou sucks....it's much LOVE too..XD) Sakura Gari's plots are so dark, tragic and somewhat mysterious....and most of the time, it ended in cliffhangers..

somehow, i really hope that Yuu Watase-sensei release another shot epilogue on Masataka and Souma in the future, now that one has fulfilled his dream of being a Teacher and latter, a free man. It would be nice to see that both of them meeting once again under the sakura tree.

THOUGH, it'd be another great ending if Watase sensei just kills off Souma (told you i was a sucker for tragic stories..LOL)...

i mean, i had the imagination that it'd be like this....:

Panel one : A silhouette of a man appears from a distance, approaching the Sakura tree.

Panel two : It is revealed that the sillhouette is actually Masataka, as he removes his baret looking hat.

Panel three : Masataka says, ' Master Souma, it has been a while, blablablabla (no, i suck in all those touchy words, so i'm gonna skip those, OR i might edit this in the future ^^)

Panel four : Masataka looks into the sky, where a gust of wind blows, causing the sakura petals to swirl around....

Panel five : Masataka then says, ' I know that we'll always cherish the one thing we have, and that is the memory of once having been loved....

Panel six : ' right, Souma Sama?' .....reveals the grave of Souma.

WHOA...i didn't know i could write stuffs like this!!!

but really, that was the image i had in my mind when i read the final chapter....and IF, so happens that IF sakuragari has an epilogue, i wonder if it would be anything like that?

Life is pretty unpredictable....^^

all in all, Sakuragari gets a 6/5 recommendation from me.......

Listening to : Uverworld - Revolve

Mood : hmm.....unexplainable =_=

Hakuouki anime!??!!?

W-W-W-W-WHAT?!?!?1

how come no one told me about this!?!?!

where is the news???!?!??!

i didn't even know about this until i found out about the opening song in gendou.com!!!

WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!?!

finally i get to know about this otome game...

(er..no, i didn't play the game.my laptop couldn't support anymore installations)

and the casts are great..!!

(MORIKUBO SHOUTARO!..!!!!! WAWERAWERWERA@#$@!#$!@#$~!@$~~~~~ <3<3<3<3)

now....i worry because...

originally i planned to cosplay someone from this series, BUT fearing that i couldn't pull them off well because i don't know much about the series....i decided to drop it.

now that there's an anime, hopefully the storyline becomes clearer....and well...

WHO'S UP FOR HAKUOKI COSPLAY? XD

(i've always wanted to cosplay the shinsengumi...^^)

Listening to : Miracle Train - Montage

Mood : =.....=

OMAIGOD....how can i have missed this series?!!?

Miracle Train

There is an urban legend in Japan about an underground subway line that moves without limitations. The rumor is only gorgeous men ride a train that is known as the Miracle Train. And if you were to happen upon this line, you would undoubtedly fall into a complete state of happiness. Being touched by a ray of light, granting her access to enter into the Oedo Line platform, where the Miracle Train runs. As the doors open up, the space inside is very different, as six handsome men await you inside. According to the conductor the leadership of these six gentlemen and the female guide, when women have worries or insecurities, the Miracle Train will appear. With names matching the stations along the line, these fabulous gentlemen, whose bonds together are tight, despite their different personalities, will erase. all of your worries and fears.
