Fate Testarossa… I like her name… Something about it has a nice kind of tone to it…
My first PVC figurine by ALTER. My friend Bevan already has two, and so I’m very much aware of ALTER’s amazing quality and designs. So, being one of my most loved characters, this “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha’s” “Fate Testarossa” was definitely on my “to order” list and after being delayed several times, she finally arrived in early February.
I did an initial Photoshoot a few days after arriving at Leon’s place, but wasn’t too happy with my results. So these are photos from a second photoshoot using a makeshift lightbox and some are open air with lights.

So, yesterday, my sister and I payed a visit to the temporary restaurant “Greenhouse by Joost”, a restaurant in Perth that focuses on sustainability, and minimizing waste. They’re currently doing a world tour, the first stop of which, was Sydney.

Haven’t been able to blog all that much, being very busy with school work, namely an English essay, and a lot of maths being dumped on me by my most favourite maths teacher. =D
I have a few posts in the line, but when they’ll be published is well… When I’m able to get around to them…
Yay! My local Japanese book store had Mizuki Nana’s biography “Shin Ai” in stock. 20% off too, so it only cost me $28. It’s a shame that I’m Japanese illiterate. Otherwise, I’d probably be up all night reading it… But I am watching coverage of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan ealier today… That’s some scary stuff.
At this moment, 5 hours after the quake, the toll is only 39. That number can only rise.
Hope everything works out for all those effected directly and indirectly.

Busy busy busy weeks… The last few days of January was a busy time for me, and the start of school marking the beginning of what is going to be an incredibly busy and stressful year.

Over the last three years or there abouts, I’ve been purchasing a new portable media player pretty much every six months, some as upgrades, and some just for convenience. My very first mp3 was a Creative ZEN, and I grew to love it, (even though it broke twice). I then churned through a Creative ZEN Stone (which I lost), a Samsung S2 (Or the “Pebble”, which I eventually sold off), a Creative ZEN X-fi, a Creative ZEN Stone Plus w/Speaker (which I also have lost), and have finally calmed down with a Cowon iAudio E2, and a 32gb Microsoft Zune HD.

Huzzah!
For those who haven’t read or visited my blog before the beginning of 2011, then, you won’t know what my site looked like before hand, but for those who have, I’m quite excited to say that my 2nd and a half site layout for gochisou-deshita (my blog) is up! (Despite not just doing a complete revamp less than 6 months ago) There are some big and many minor changes to the site layout, (which are listed below) and as always, there are still little tweaks here and there that’ll be corrected over time.
Changelog:
Complete re-organisation of Homepage
Modifications of categories and tags and fonts and “colour scheme”
Relocation of navigation buttons and a universal sidebar
More detailed info in my “About” and “Contact” pages
Added “Gallery” feature to pages with signifigant numbers of photos.
Installed the jQuery Lightbox plug-in.
Still yet to be:
Various post corrections, and error fixing
Addition of links to blogroll
Social integration
Additional/completion of “Contact” page.
Known Issues
Posts before December 2009 are uncategorised

Finally got around to seeing “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE 1st”, the first movie of everyone’s favourite mahou-shoujo anime, in the beauty of high-definition! The movie, for those unaware, was a remake of the original first season of the Nanoha series, and is the first, of what will (hopefully) be a series of movies.
Although two of the mains, Nanoha and Fate, are two of my most favourite characters, I can’t really say that the overall original series was all that impressive. (notably, StrikerS, and I can’t really be bothered with following ViVid and Force as I haven’t finished StrikerS) When I heard about the making of the movie, I knew that I just had to watch it, and just couldn’t wait to see how the producers, Seven Arcs, would adapt the 13 episode first season, into a 2 hour movie.
(I’ll be making quite a few comparisons to the original series, so I’ll say SPOILER ALERT just in case)

My good friend Bevan recently purchased himself his second ALTER figurine, this time, of “Little Busters”‘s “Noumi Kudryavka”, or “Kud” for short.
I was incredibly tired that day after fishing the day before, getting little sleep, having to put up with that Haruhi-kid’s voice, and playing some serious poker before attempting to do a photoshoot.

These ‘holdiays’ or ‘breaks’ are supposed to be relaxing right? Well… I’m incredibly tired at the moment… I’d say it’s because I’ve been doing too many things/going out too much, but I’d imagine there are quite a few of you out there who have done a lot more than I have and probably still have a lot more energy than I do.

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2011 is just as awesome or even better than 2010 for you! I certainly hope so!
Today also marks the first year gochisou-deshita.net has been online! Which, I’m rather proud of, and I look forward to continue blogging throughout 2011 and hopefully, even the next few years! A big thanks to everyone who has read and visited my blog throughout the year! Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to announce some rather surprising (to me) numbers!
:: Blog Stats
Total number of hits – 6568
Total number of posts – 176
Most viewed page – SMASH! – Anime and Manga Convention – 2010 with 651 views. (10% of my total blog hits?!)
I originally planned on celebrating by creating some fun New Years image and a new, better looking layout, but unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to do so. Though, you should expect a change in layout within the coming days. =D
Once again, Thanks for reading and I hope to see you all throughout 2011 and beyond!
