Have a interactive anime girl on your smartphone

by AS Posted on September 5, 2012

I’m sure many of you have heard about Augmented Reality (or have seen it in action like in the following video).

But there is something new out there that will make the smartphone that you have in your pocket the new interactive device of the future that will give you a more hands on (well finger really as in the case of smartphones) approach to virtual life.  Read more...

Happy Valentine’s Day

by AS Posted on February 14, 2011

It’s still Valentine’s here where we live.

I so happen to get a free 30 day account for the game World of Warcraft (WOW), the MMORPG and activated today and found that there are decorations on various building in WOW, mostly hearts connected together.

Don’t know if you know this but in Japan it’s customary for women to give men chocolate and not the other way around as it is in the U.S.. But there has been a effort by some chocolate companies to advertise chocolate as something to give to women on Valentine’s Day. Though that’s not to say men don’t give anything in return. On March 14th men give chocolate back to women.  Read more...

Japan Trip May 2010 Part 5

by AS Posted on December 24, 2010

This was our last day in Japan and we wanted to leave with a bang.

Unfortunately we started with a small pop lol. We got up later than what we wanted and there was a reason we wanted to get up early. To eat at Tsukiji First Market. This was going to be the first time for the both of us to visit Tsukiji. It’s suggested to go very early in the morning, to not only to watch the tuna auction but also to not have to wait in line for the more popular sushi restaurants.  Read more...

Japan Trip May 2010 Part 4

by AS Posted on December 21, 2010

Since we’ve been to Disneyland in Tokyo in the previous year, we needed to only go twice this time and spent the rest of the time going around Tokyo. But two days at Disneyland really wore us out xD. We slept in after waking up at 6 the last two days and headed out around 9 to do some shopping. Specifically, anime shopping xD.  Read more...

Loot from Japan trip January 2010

by AS Posted on November 10, 2010

Hey there,

I’ve been inactive for quite a while due to trips and being busy back home so I haven’t posted in a while ^^;;. So much so that I completly forgot about the loot post I was going to do when I came back from Japan earlier this year which you can view through the following links, part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5.

During the time I was there I didn’t get much loot surprisingly ^^;;. The biggest thing that took up space in my bag was food xD. Which I’m starting to notice is what I tend to bring lots of back home, like the trip I just took ^^;;.  Read more...
