Ozine Fest Encore cancelled!

Recently, Otakuzine announced that they are cancelling Ozine Fest Encore which was originally scheduled on October 1 up to October 3.

The renowned anime convention which is planning to have a "part 2" of their most successful con yet, called for a meeting today to discuss the plans for the Ozine Fest Encore.

Due to some problems with the "surprise" Japanese talent and to some production matters, they are pulling the plug on this event.

Expect to have a "mini con" to replace this event sometime soon.

Toycon, Toy Story 3 and being sick

I was supposed to write an article about The 9th Philippine Toycon and a movie review of Toy Story 3, but due to my officemates always wondering why am I the only one who doesn't get sick finally got answered by two days of fever and a day of headache. Anyway, I'll just cram all those supposed to be posts into this one entry instead. Read on baby!


The 9th Philippine Toycon
What can I say? It was a damn success! First time in my entire life that I took part in not just one exhibit, but two! Otakai Figure Society and GameOPS was the two booths I was talking about. Otakai once again proved that Anime figs never loses their charm especially to the girls. GameOPS made you relived your childhood memories by playing Duck Hunt or Super Mario 1. Anyway, Toycon itself makes you feel like a kid once more with all those toys and lolis all over the place. Congratulations to the Toycon staff and see you all next year!



Toy Story 3
Finally, the much awaited conclusion to the Toy Story franchise. It was not long ago (actually 1995) when we first saw Toy Story. The first full 3D animated cartoon by Disney and Pixar. The sequel, Toy Story 2 was shown last 1999, the end of the millennium. It took almost a century for the third installment but it was really worth the wait. Some may think that ten years was way too long, the fans who loved it back in 1999 outgrew it already! Wrong! In fact, when I was lining up to buy a ticket and accidentally it's Father's Day, Those young dads introduced Toy Story to their children as if passing down a torch to the next generation. Isn't that cool? Also, the movie has shown the younger generation what do our toys look like back then. Come on, you felt nostalgia when you see those toys in the movie. I'm definetly buying the whole set on DVD! And on a final note: Spanish Buzz rocks!

So that's it folks! See you all around sometime soon on my website (hope you still reading)

Miku Hatsune 3D Moeness

I'm a fan of the Vocaloid software by Yamaha and many otakus love Miku Hatsune. This video is really a work of art. The song is Nebula and it was written by Tripshots. It's all beauty and nice music, won't you agree?

A Wedding Under Gundam RX-78-2

It wasn't long ago that a wedding company Take and Give Needs (T&G), which normally arranges weddings in more conventional settings (which in Japan might include fake priests and even Hello Kitty) offered their customers to celebrate their matrimony with Mobile Suit Gundam RX-78-2's likeness glowering down on them. The lucky couple were chosen out of a 500 hopeful Gundam fan couples.



The couple, both long time fans of the original series, chose this special package to renew their vows and this is really a wedding to remember. The groom wore a suit that based on the uniform of Amuro Rei, the main protagonist of the original series. Also present was the original director of the series, Tomino Yoshiyuki, who handed the happy couple a special gift. The couple named their daughter Seira, which is after the Gundam character Sayla Mass

Game Girl / Cosplayer Alodia is selling her PSP!

Calling all Alodia Fans out there. The Game Girl / Cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao is selling her PSP!

Details after the jump

Alodia posted on her blog that her Black PSP (firmware 3.40OE) is up for auctions.

As much as I really want to keep my black PSP because of its
sentimental value (it's been almost a year since I've had it
with me, I never leave home without it) I must let it go. :c I
think that it would be of better use if someone else takes good
care of it and enjoy spending time with it. So, I am putting it up
for auction. Starting price is only Php7,000. This is based on the
normal selling price of second-hand PSPs. This offer comes
with the following: Black PSP(not slim), already hacked so you
could play downloaded games, System Software: 3.40 OE-A,
1GB memory card, the value box & its contents [sleeve, strap,
charger]. Please send me a "Note" if you are interested. Ending
time would be Sunday, 11:59pm, HK time zone. Thank you! :]

Current bid:
7am : P7,500 / 185.87 USD by beachingod
8am : P10,000 / 247.83 USD by EndGameBlackHeart

Ending time: Feb 3, Sunday, 11:59pm; HK time zone

International buyers (Paypal) are welcome. Shipping can be through
Registered Airmail or EMS. Both have tracking numbers, btw. :]
I am selling my Black PSP because I already have two PSPs.

So if you're one of those die hard fans who wanted a part of Alodia, this is your chance.
