A very small peeve of mine...
Since I'm into figure buying and stuff, I tend to sell things I don't like but another problem has arisen from that... People trying to ask if I will sell stuff from my personal collection.
It was pretty flattering the first time... But so many messages later about it. I'm kind of getting tired to be honest. But I don't wanna be a jerk and put it on my head page saying for either people to stop or address it. So pretty much after this small vent, I'm taking it in stride.
Also I got my Rin/Mecha Wooser today. Maybe I'll take pictures and post them up or something. Nendoroids are fun after all.

Things elude me...Always
Long time no post. I've been kind of busy for a while and took a short hiatus but now I'm back. Life is all straightened up and back in order so things are good.
So over the course of the last three months I have been attempting to buy some otome clothes, to get some of my lolita resolutions checked off, and for the life of me... IT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. Every time I tried to bid on something on YJA it was a battle between me and 4 other Japanese gals. >.< I don't blame anyone since the items I was trying to get all started at a low price, and were pretty coveted otome prints. But still I would have thought by now I would have had one.
But since I didn't buy anything for a long time I thought I would give myself a break from Otome/Lolita fashion buying and get something fun. So I popped over to Galaxxxy and bought a cute shirt and skirt.
I kinda became a fan of these big mid-drift tees because they're so big and great for layering. And not only that it's an official My Little Pony; Friendship is magic tee (yeah I like ponies). And of all the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Sweetie Belle is my favorite so I just had to get this tee!
Oddly enough Galaxxxy does some very interesting collaborations with shows including; Panty and Stocking, Evangelion, Dirty Pair (old school version), Wooser, and Creamy Mami.
I kind of kept going back and forth about getting this until I saw that they upload pictures of people wearing it, then I was sold.
I liked how big and roomy it looks on her and how easy you could coordinate it if you had the right things in your wardrobe and I believe I do have them. So I can't wait to get the shirt.
Also I bought a skirt from Galaxxxy as well.
It's just a simple elastic skirt, but it just looks so interesting to me, and since I wear a lot of black outside of work. It should look pretty good.
It's another item that's easy to coordinate and you could mess with contrasting colors quite a bit as well. I'll probably wear some simple tights with it since I don't want to draw too much attention to my legs, but it is a good start of slowly phasing out most pants from my daily wardrobe.
I almost forgot how much fun J-fashion was outside of Lolita/Otome and I'm really glad I spent the money on these two items. They should be here before Friday and I can't wait.

Because one Kamen Rider War wasn't enough...
I can't wait for May, because Kamen Rider Battride War is coming out and I preordered a copy. Got the premium edition. Well you see there isn't much difference between the two besides one main thing. In the premium edition you get the themes of the Kamen Riders... I think there's a total of 30 copyright songs in the game that you get or something. I don't remember what was writen on AmiAmi's site. All I remember was I had to preorder it, because... KAMEN RIDER. Here is a preview movie straight from Bandai-Namco.
Though you get to see quite a few Riders the main focus seems to be on Wizard since he's the newest Rider, and it makes sense to just kinda show off the new guy.
I really can't blame them though, Wizard's element changing ability is a pretty cool thing to show, he's got lots of powers and it could make the game really interesting. I think the best part of the preview is when see Den-O in Liner form preforming the Densha Giri. Just because Ryoutaro and Kamen Rider Den-O is probably my favorite from the series.
Speaking of Liner Forms and Kamen Rider Den-O, I did preorder said action figure.
I know these scale of toys aren't really my thing, but with my redecorating I just wanted some of them to add to my collection and to display. There are way more than just this guy, but I'd thought I would just add it in this post since I ended up talking about Den-O for a bit.
To be honest I was just lucky I could preorder him. I was trying to go to sleep and just checked AmiAmi and there he was up, so I just took it as a sign and preordered him. And that's the end of the boring story.
Like I said I did preorder more and it will be coming up in another post, but I will just say now, it's just Wizard toys. Because Wizard is the Kamen Rider currently. But I ordered another one from another show, though I won't tell you who it is.

Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2
Tokusatsu series always have a special place in my heart (and in my wallet). And I just wanted to show everyone the second season promo of "Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger". If you've never seen Akibaranger and grew up watching the Sentai Series/Power Rangers. This show will actually be a nostalgia trip for you, as it's made for the the audience that has grown up on this stuff. Anyway, it features Akiba-Red just being himself. And the actor is very emotional and puts his all into even the short preformance and really pulls off being a great sentai otaku.
If anything, I really can't wait for the second season to start. I also cannot wait to see how the new Akiba-Blue is going to pan out. Also love the fact that KozKoz is going to wear male uniforms instead of female ones in the sentai cafe.
Oh boy~Oh BOY~OH BOY!!!!!!!
ワァイヾ(゚д゚*三*゚д゚)ノワァイ

Sakuracon, Lolita, and BEAST
So as Sakuracon draws closer I'm getting pumped up for various reasons.
I got my Instax camera and waiting for film. Yeah it probably seems really lame for a person still taking pictures with a regular camera that prints out film. But I want to keep my memories, and it seems when I use my digital camera I never print out pictures. While if I have a camera that develops on the spot I can enjoy my pictures and create long lasting memories in an album or scrapbook.
Friend is coming back on the 24 which is the same day my mom is leaving. Now I get a three month vacation from my mother, which is a nice break since my mom is sort of unstable. Now I'm not being mean, I love my mom but distance away from her every once in a while is good. And she gets to see her family back home in the P.I. Also she's doing me a little favor. She's fixing a skirt of mine that I can't fit.

Metamorphose Fancy Egg Vest |
I know that other lolitas don't like it when people alter their things, but these are mine. And I won't be reselling them anyway since I buy my things to keep. And lots of lolitas in Japan do it as well. I've actually bought some skirts that have had their shirring 100% removed and second hand clothing is always more loose more the time, so I have no problem with not getting my money back if I end up selling them, but I don't really intend to anyway. I think the irony of getting these fixed when my mom is in the Philippines though is... Both on the tag say "Made in the Philippines".
Lastly I was browsing Premium Bandai for some cool Kamen Rider W or Kamen Rider Wizard stuff when I stopped upon this.

Kosuke Nitoh's Wolf Vest |
The one downside of the vest is the fake fur part is darker than Kosuke's in the series.

Only 24 days left till the con. SHITS GONNA BE EPIC. Hopefully I'll eventually decide what to wear and I hope everyone going will have a good time... And I hope I'm not sick for day one. I always seem to get sick on day one of every con I go to. But I'm just getting better from whatever dumb crud has been going around, since I interact with people constantly. But you know... Got my time off and only work two days that week so it's going to be fun regardless.

Redecorating in June-ish
I'm kind of getting of my same old room in this house. I don't have any problems with the paint. In fact pink and more pink is awesome but I'm tired of what I see in this room. I wanna change it up. Which means getting a new desk and for sure getting some new equipment.
I need to "finally" get a desktop computer since I am tired of just using this laptop for everything. And then just finally keep my laptop on JP settings so that I can just play VNs and stuff on it. While I make the desktop for regular gaming and for art and other things. It's easier just to have a console just for playing VNs since some things can get messed up when you switch back and forth from US-JP and back. And then I wouldn't have to keep deleting my VN saves just to have room for everything else on my computer.
Also I want to get a new desk and probably a new bedframe for my room as well. My mom says we can just paint the old bedframe white but I told her I'd rather just have a new frame and since I'm paying for it, why not just get a new one. Since the frame I'm using was her old one. And there are lots of cute bed frames at ikea. Right now I'm just trying to adjust everything so that it's more to my liking more than anything else. Since the house will become mine (in about 7 more years it gets turned over to me because it will be fully paid off) I've started changing the house slighty starting with my room and the kitchen.
Though I haven't done anything major to the kitchen yet....

Creating and Reorganizing Decks
Well for the last couple of hours I was pretty much doing one thing.... Creating one Magic The Gathering Deck and reorganizing and updating another.
I first created a Black/White deck with a limit of 65 cards so that I could draw the cards I need. But man it was really hard to find cards that would fit in nicely with my deck. But when I was reorganizing my White/Green deck... MY GOD. Seriously, reducing the deck was impossible.
I started out with so many cards in my deck, not including the land cards. I reduced my deck by about 30 cards... Which may seem like a lot, but my deck was pushing 100 cards itself. Too many. XD And to be honest, with a smaller deck I have the better chance of drawing a card I really want to get.
Anyway, I've gotta shuffle my decks a couple of times to make sure that everything is divided up. Because I'm not the type to mana weave, and in fact I find it to be stupid.
And Gate Crash recently came out... Time to buy some more Magic cards... Because they're like crack. Delicious card game crack.
