After weeks of productive break and various real life matters, I present some pictures from the recent Metro ComiCon at the SM Megamall Convention Center.

This is my first time attending a big local event and I could say that I quite had fun.

The Comicon.. of course is more about comics, but what I can see is that most of the cosplays and stuff are anime related. There were of course real comics and locally produced ones…

I’m not really fond of comics but I convinced myself to go. Not to mention I live close by and my friends are waiting.

The event wasn’t really that… good.. but it’s easy to have fun in it. Most I did was take pictures, look at the art works and loiter.

I also tried using the Wacom Cintiq on display.. it was pretty cash…

Some of the guys selling off their comics…

Very western…

That’s Mr David Lloyd, the co-author for V for Vendetta

It’sa me~ Mario~

And her sidekick~ Luigi~

On the first day, I was a bit hesitant when taking pictures, I only got a few…

It’s a Trap!

There were of course showcased figures and collectibles from the comic industry…

Another Trap!

The second day…

A Weeaboo dinner for a weeaboo… The food was kind of weird because it had Mangoes in it.. yes.. Mangoes… WAT

Seikan Hikou Filipino fandub by isakangtubo from YouTube, ang ayos dito si Megumi Nakajima ang kumunta ng original Japanese Version, kung hindi nyo kilala si Megumi, sya yung Seiyuu or Voice Actress para ni Ranka Lee and what’s more special is that she’s Half-Filipino. So nararapat lang na at least may local version yung kanta and so meron ako nahanap na masaya pakigan na Filipino Version.

Si Ranka Lee, kung pakigan ang pangalan ay parang Lanka or Langka, isa sya na Jack Fruit kung sa english… hehe…

So enjoy na lang kayo sa video and lyrics na nasa baba. Or download the MP3 dito

Seikan Hikou Filipino Tagalog Lyrics:

Nanginginig ang tubig
Pabilog ang daloy ng hangin
Nararamdaman hanggang daliri mo
Ang bughaw na agos

Sa isang sulyap lamang
Tumutodo ang pagkabilis
Sumasabog ng pira-piraso
May gusto ako sa ‘yo

Para bang mga makintab na perlas
Itong luhang linabas
Kamalasan ma’y ‘di bale na
Nais makasama ka

(ﾉゝ∀･)~Kislap~☆

Sasakay ako sa mga bituin
Agad na tutungo sa iyo oh oh
Sa madilim na kalangitan
Tayo’y paputok na sinisindihan
Mga pusong tinamaan ng pag-ibig

Tuwing walang maibigkas
Sumisid lang sa kalooban
Mabasa sana ang iniisip ko
Sa mahiwagang gabi

Parang sumpa ang iyong pangalan na
Magdamag kong naririnig
‘Di ko matiis at ‘di na mabilang
Dito sa mga kamay ko

(ﾉゝ∀･)~Kislap~☆

Naaaninag ang katawan mo
Larawang tila lumulutang ah ah
Isang patak lang ng buhay ito
Ngunit kumikinang pa rin tayo
Sa kalawakan ng puso umaambon

Sumakay ka sa mga bituin
Lumipad patungo sa akin oh oh
Sa madilim na kalangitan
Tayo’t paputok na nag-iilawan
Mga pusong tinamaan ng pag-ibig

Isang patak lang ng buhay ito
Ngunit kikinang pa rin tayo
Sa kalawakan ng puso, panay ang ambon
Sa kalawakan ng puso, tuloy ang ambon

And so once again, another ronery new year for Ichiro, but still he will be celebrating in the internets to enjoy the evening waiting for a precious new year. Haven’t gone outside, still can hear the fireworks earlier as expected, although the rain pours heavy the joy of the people from the neighborhood is not extinguished.

As we can see on the picture above, it’s the neighbors enjoying themselves with the festive mood of the new year’s eve, how joyous it is for them to be together. With music, food, fireworks, cries and laughter, their ageing year seems to be complete.

Here’s one group of our relatives, they seem to be enjoying themselves…

At last this year is finally over, Ichiro will be looking forward for a new life and… a new job to fulfill the dreams that once was almost lost and never found…

Happy New Year!

Anime Icon Gundam RX-78-2 built in free-standing life size scale for the 30th anniversary of Bandai has now been completed. The said Gundam is stationed at Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan. The behemoth will stand 18 meters tall free from balancing support.

The Gundam is scheduled for public viewing this July 11 until August 31st, what is next is sure unkown, but perhaps it should not be dismantled and be kept for more viewing pleasures by otakus and the likes.

This comprehensive gallery shows the iconic mecha in magnificent detail.

Thanks to Pyunmari , whose blog caters such Moe Passion and delivers us the pure “awesome”.

More information can be found at the Gundam 30th anniversary website.

And also Thanks to Sankaku Complex for the update.

Former first lady Imelda Marcos has become amongst 11 of the  “greediest people of all time” worldwide by Newsweek magazine.

Marcos “saw it as her duty to provide ‘some kind of light, a star’ for the impoverished Filipino people over whom her husband presided.“; “So she took $5 million shopping sprees to New York and Rome, reportedly owned the world’s largest collections of gems and 3,000 pairs of shoes,”  according to Newsweek.

The term “Imeldific” came from her luxrious lifestyle that the word would mean “ostentatiously extravagant.”

Would it be better if she had been collecting anime figures and manga  instead of these shoes? We would have had the largest meseum of it and it could have been an Otaku’s ultimate dream…

(ﾉゝ∀･)~キラ☆ – by Ranka Lee of macross Frontier

Yes, you’ve seen this before, from anime to real people, but wth is that? It’s the prominent Kira(twinkle) pose, by Ranka Lee.

But what does it mean? We have seen the V-sign for decades, most of us think that it means peace or victory. Some think it’s offensive, and some just doesn’t know what it is. Have you ever seen someone that whenever there’s gonna be a picture taking, they always do a V-sign? And thinking that, they’re just doing that to look Kawaii… Yep, I think that’s a trend. (ﾉゝ∀･)~Kira, just like the V-sign, it’s a way to look ultra Kawaii (if it fits you XD). But did you know that in the anime, the Kira pose became the quintessence of peace? The hand gesture that stopped the Interplanetary war! So much from explaining, without further delays, here’s the gallery…

The episode where it came from…
