I was just shopping for groceries and BAM, HUNDREDS OF COSPLAYERS in the MEGADEATH MALL. There must’ve been some kind of local anime and manga event. I think Animax Asia was one of the sponsors.
The Briefs dude was kind of cool, and so was the little kid in the Zero costume. His DAD was with him, being supportive. Daddy, you’re the best!

Thanks to everyone who greeted! @bluemistanime @thesebzgal @schneiderheim @vucub_caquix @lelangir @PantherRH @MyssaRei @Kherubim2k
I remember the first time I updated twitter with a message saying that my wife @Alecon could be preggers. We’ve been trying for a year and a half at that time so I was afraid that it was either a fluke or a troll LOL. But I did update later on that I really did knock her up, and in both cases the response from so many of you who follow my account was so encouraging, supportive, and awesome.
Time sure flew by quickly and for all of you who’ve greeted our family when BusterBeamSlash was born, and now her FIRST BIRTHDAY… Thank you! Part of me can’t believe how quickly we got to this point, but as always I’m happy.
From all of us here, thank you very much.
Here is a video of our daughter walking and sprinting… for real, and for the first time. Three cheers and happy birthday to her!
I revisit Eureka SeveN almost two years since I watched it. The hazing arc is every bit as tedious and annoying as I remember it, but as I indeed remember it… it has so much heart.
This scene is so much win. Renton is awesome.

In the Philippines, Christmas season starts ridiculously in September, so a Christmas Party in late November is not too weird by our timetables. Last year us anime and manga fans (and bloggers) had it in TheSpaceCandy’s house. This year we held it at my place.
We watched a bunch of first episodes so as to introduce each other to different shows. Many of these I’ve already seen (Kuragehime, Hataraki Man, Revolutionary Girl Utena) and are of the best stuff under 24 minutes (and I’ve written about these elsewhere), so I’ll only talk about my discoveries, as they were:
Working: Impossibly attractive employees all in one restaurant… incredible. The short girl, probably the protagonist is ridiculously cute. I’ve no idea where this is going, and I’m not really into it. But, incredibly bouncy girl is adorable.
Dai-Guard: This is my kind of workplace anime (as is Hataraki Man). For starters it included a giant un-super robot (involving the realest and I mean it’s like making a point about how grounded it is in the mundane) run by committees and a board of directors. Salaryman and office lady pilots? I’m going to love this one.
Kara no Kyokai: Looks gorgeous, amazing music (really, those tracks stood out in a great way)… but a terrible show to watch while hosting a party and drinking 3 kinds of beer, wine, scotch whiskey, rum, and sake. I have no fucking clue what happened and could har dly remember any of the character names.
2 lolimoe fanservice shows with absurdly long names (or not): Being inebriated does nothing to get me off of lolimoe characters. The fanservice does nothing for me.

I wish we could do this more often, though I’m probably going to get it from my wife tomorrow since our guffawing while watching woke up my daughter from her sleep at least thrice. Oh well.
