Welcome to Weekend Thoughts – a collection of post with small random thoughts and ramblings! Finally, I get to experience an actual long weekend!! Due to my nature of having two jobs, I usually only experience one day off every week but it’s not really much of a day off since I still do some […]
As a kid growing up, I’ve always watched those superhero TV series from Japan as they were popular in Southeast Asia as local channels would pick them up and air them on free TV. I’ve grown to the habit of watching Voltes V, Bioman and Space Sheriff Shaider during Saturdays and Bioman became an instant […]
I’ve been a huge fan of the Power Rangers since the very first episode aired on TV in August 28, 1993, exactly 26 years ago… and possibly even before that, thanks to my local channels airing tokusatsu favourites like Bioman, Masked Rider Black and Space Sheriff Shaider. Kids tend to gravitate towards these shows but […]
Yesterday, two of my close friends tied the knot; and I’m one of the fortunate people whom have been chosen to bear witness! A wedding is a very important event in person’s life – not only for the people getting married but for everyone close to them as well. It’s a celebration of the love […]
For the uninitiated, Voltes V (pronounced “Voltes Five”) is a popular anime about a team of people piloting a five-machine fleet of powerful aircraft that the Earth used to defend itself against the Boazanians, an alien humanoid race that attempted to invade Earth and spread their beast fighters all over the galaxy. I grew up […]
We’ve been planning this for a while now, glad it we finally had some! 😀 After work today we gathered to my coworker’s place to finally have some hot pot after such a long time of planning. Bring on the spices! After eating we even managed to play Smash and Mario Kart using my co-worker’s […]
I’ve been collecting action figures for a few years now, and naturally I slowly began to dip my toes into the realm of action figure photography. I mostly collect S.H.Figuarts and Figma series as they are the toylines that usually release characters from the series that I like (which are mostly toku). I started off […]
Acrophobia Warning! This is the single craziest thing I’ve done in my life so far – doing the CN Tower EdgeWalk! EdgeWalk is CN Tower’s most thrilling attraction in its 35 year history, and the first of its kind in North America. It is the world’s highest full circle hands-free walk on a 5 ft […]
I’ve always made it a point to make sure I attend Ai-Kon, Winnipeg’s annual anime and Japanese culture convention. It always runs on a weekend in July from Friday all the way until Sunday. Unfortunately I did not make it to the Saturday one (the busiest day) as I had prior commitments but I made […]
Seeing these famous sakura (cherry blossoms) in person was my primary objective in travelling to Japan for vacation in early 2018. I knew they were prevalent here in North America as well but my city’s too cold it, so I never really saw one here. Spoiler alert: It did not disappoint. I arrived in Tokyo […]
Is there anyone here who still remembers Tamagotchis? The fad died down in North America in the early 2000’s but in Japan (its hometown) it never really went away. In fact, they introduced colour screen back in 2008 and have been introducing new versions almost every year after that with new features for every iteration. […]
First entry! I’ve already began to think of things to start writing about, and what’s on my head right now are some of my upcoming adventures, a.k.a. something to look forward to… and possibly, something to talk about! Web Unleashed 2019 I’m a Web Dev geek at heart. I primarily develop front-end (and occasional back-end) […]
Hello. It’s been such a long time, hasn’t it? I think it’s been three years since my last blogging attempt. This is my fifth attempt into getting back to writing again. It’s been a whirlwind of events ever since – I know I barely have enough time to catch a breath let alone write lengthy […]
