ASIMO

Who is A-SIM-O? Well, Asimo is the Honda Humanoid Robot which declared to be the most intelligent robotics of all time. Asimo's features are very excellent, representing a higher level of engineering and robotic style. The robot Asimo was developed and created with lucky human skills, inspired from the year 1980's, the year of the another comic hero, named ASTRO BOY which became the most popular cartoon image in Japan.

K-ON !

THIS IS IT !!!!! Anime really rocks my world (Ooops, not only my world, but also the whole world!!! ^_^)

I know that you liked it too! ^_^ First, let me define to you what is the word "ANIME". . .

Anime, an abbreviated pronunciation in Japanese of "animation". Anime is the most influential among children, teens, and adult, actually, can be seen in televisions, posters, and magazines ^_^. . . Here in our country, Philippines, many people recognized its importance and value beyond a true and a very interesting entertainment which was inspired by the many. Anime was originated in the year 1917, until it developed in the year 1960's, and became popular in the year 1980's because of the notable works of Osamu Tezuka.

Osamu Tesuka

Osamu Tesuka is a well-known Japanese manga artist, producer and an animator. He is also a medical doctor but he don't practiced medicine. He is the one who made ASTRO BOY, a human-like robot (manga) which is very poular in Japan. He is also known as "Godfather of Anime"

HERE ARE MY FAVORITE ANIME !!!! The anime Love Hina (Naru & Keitaro shows incompatibleness but they are perfect love teams” ), Ayashi No Ceres ( “Aya & Toya had reach their sweet & sexy scenes” ), Fushigi Yuugi ( “Miyaka & Tamahome shows the audience more about on giving some importance in love, whether it’s past, present, or future” ), Kare Kano ( “Yuki & Souichiro makes the final best young moves” ), and School Rumble ( “Tenma & Harima shows the importance of loving rather than studying...hehe!..^_^ )

MY MANGA COLLECTION !

                Aside from Anime, we are hooked in Manga. What is Manga? A Manga is a comic from Japan which contains long episodes and was divided into chapters. How awesome ! ^_^ It is fun and exciting when we read our manga collections. Manga makes us explore the other world. It will be more interesting if we will read our manga with our favorite comfort food like popcorn or just a sweet lollipop (I suggest Tootsie Roll and some Hershey Kisses) !!! "DAMN GOOD". So yummy and relaxing !!! ^_^ Manga can also bring out during the trips and travels. If you felt bored and tired, you can read manga, it will help you to relax !!! Promise ^_^ I swear . . .

REVERTED PAGES

I love my Manga's and i feel happy when I'm reading it ^_^ !!!! It was so joyful when I'm with them !!!! My favorite Manga creator is Tokyopop ^_^ . . . Tokyopop's features are so interesting . . . It is not an ordinary one . . . because, its pages are reverted, meaning , you must start reading at the back portion, ^_^ and the last portion will be at the front. . .^_^ Guys, do you get my point? ^_^ Well, just visit www.tokyopop.com !!! ^_^ I also like them because their manga's have nice and quality pages and have also nice colorful paperbacks !!!

The above picture was taken at my mom's garden . . . ^_^ This is our first cosplay pictorial. It was so joyful and very tiring !!!! Yeah . . . thanks that there's my favorite pancit canton !!!! ^_^

Before our first cosplay pictorial, i planned all the things that I must buy. I list them all, like the cloth that i will be wearing, the make-ups, and of course, the accessories. . .hehe ^_^ I don't need wig because Kagome's hair is kinda similar to my hair so I don't need that thing. I also bought fake eyelashes because I don't have those long, only short and too fine eyelashes. . . Let's just keep it as a secret? Haha . . . I'm the one who design my outfit and I'm the one who chose what type of cloth that I will wear. . .^_^ I slept too early at that night before the pictorial and I swear, it's just a little beauty rest!

Cosplay is a performance art of wearing a costume. Cosplay, also known as "Costume Play" is a very big influence among students in our country today. . . ^_^ yeah, that's true.

Anime DVD's, Manga's, Costumes, Anime Figures, Tee Shirts and more more more!!!!

Guys, I have something to share on you ^_^. It is a little information that deals with the importance of one's worth & meaning, the life of an ORIGAMI.

Have you seen an "origami"? Do you know what is the history from it? Here are the informations... ^_^

An Origami is an ART of FOLDING a piece of PAPER. According to the studies, Origami was founded in China around 100 AD. The word ORIGAMI derives from another word "paper folding", which was adopted by the country JAPAN. In significance, the country Japan led this origami into a exciting hobby and was became so popular.
.

As you can see, an origami is very simple, but if you will look by it's process, you will see a deep meaning behind those figures. Yeah... somebody said that it was just a trash and ready to go inside a very dirty bin, but they  really don't know that a simple origami can cure a little girl's heart who suffers from a LEUKEMIA. Yes. It's a fact.Origami's are not that ordinary and its worth can give a life into something like in the story of a young girl, Sadako Sasaki. Sadako Sasaki is a young pretty girl who lived in Japan. She loves making origami paper cranes. Sadly, when the atomic bomb striked the Hiroshima, she was just only 2 years old. She's like living in a strange world of bitterness. How poor she is... how sad is her story... how much strength was left in her body?

A very poor little girl with so much pain, developed a leukemia as she grew up. At 12 years old, she died, living in a body with severe leukemia that too much bad for her young body. :( She promised that she will continue making paper cranes until it became 1,000 cranes. So lonely that she not continued his promise because of her sickness and death. At the ending, even she was already died, her classmates continued her mission, making paper cranes reaching 1,000. In her death, she was buried with her full 1,000 cranes. :( Oh no, a very very sad story.
.

According to the story of Sadako Sasaki, origami paper cranes are said to be mysterious. It says that when you fold 1,000 paper cranes, it will grant your wish. Origami paper cranes symbolizes honor and loyalty. If you love someone, you must make an origami, expressing your sincerity and appreciation to him/her ^_^. Our lesson is that we must learn how to appreciate our love ones until they are still here with us. We must value their purpose and we must express our love and care for them, in every seconds, in every minutes or in every single day. Cherish the moments with them.. ^_^


Origami is both hobby and can treat as a collection between mom's and their children.. ^_^

Is this your first time to hear the word "Polymer Clay", well, I will tell you what is it... ^_^

Polymer clay is a sculptable material based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It usually contains no clay minerals, and is only called "clay" because its texture and working properties resemble those of mineral clay. It is sold in craft, hobby, and art stores, and is used by artists, hobbyists, and children. - WIKIPEDIA

"Yeah, its a hobby!, promise!" As if you see the above picture, I'm the one who made that cute figure out of polymer clay. At first time, it was so hard for me to udjust, but, when i began to mold it up, "WOOOOWW!", looks like so interesting.

I love making creative stuffs... ^_^ and it makes me relax... especially when it entertains me a lot.

REQIREMENTS:
1. Polymer clays, any amount will do.
2. A new oven toaster ( because, according to the news, polymer clay have harmful fumes. Don't use your FAMILY's OVEN, buy your OWN, guyz! ^_^

HERE'S THE  SPECIAL INGREDIENTS & PROCEDURES:

1. Prepare your polymer clays, color white, pink and maroon.

NOTE: When it is your first time to buy polymer clay, please be wise in choosing colors, specially, the textures and quantities. I remember when my brother went to QUIAPO to buy things for his bike, I talked to him and said " BROOOTHERR, please buy me a polymer clay. I want to try a different hobby. Please. I'm so bored in my vacation time." Surprisingly, he agreed. (SUPER TECHNIQUE: move your brows lower as you can, so that they will agree! ^_^ TRIED & TESTED! ) When he had not yet arrived, i'm so excited because it is my first time! He went home with 5 pieces of polymer clay bars.

2. Now, get your maroon polymer clay. You must have a pasta machine(Pasta machine is a machine that allows your polymer clay to soften its texture to have a thin & softer pieces. If you don't have, just get a glass cup or a porcelain jar and roll it down to your polymer clay. It needs a lot of patience, GUYZ! If you have low patience, just grab the polymer and mold it like pinching an anti-stressor... ^_^ haha... Or, think your ''hatest person ever'' while molding the clay ^_^ After that, mold it like a glass or a mug figure. It really depends on you.

NOTE: You must need a soft polymer clay so that it will give emphasis on your work. Soft polymer clays will give a full-detailed structure. You can experiment colors as much as you want. Combine them and  mix it up! Maybe you will be a good polymer inventor someday!

3. Yeah, it's a twirl sundae!! Second to follow is, get your white polymer. Get a smaller pieces. Roll it with a flat formation of your palm. Just roll it over until it became long and smooth. Now, grab it and place it to your cup figure. Easily, twirl it up... twist it up...! ^_^

4. GO! GO! GO! Time is unlimited! ^_^ Don't hurry or else your twirl icecream structure will be mad at you.

5. Almost done and ready for the baking process. Grab your twirl icecream structure, then put inside of the oven. ^_^ Time depends on you. For me, it is better to look it up until it is fully bake.

CAUTIOUS: Extremely hOoOt!

6. Already FINISH... Let it warm for 15 minutes ^_^ Tadahh... you have now your twirl icecream ! KAWAII ^_^

ENJOY YOUR SUMMER BY DISPLAYING YOUR TWIRL ICECREAM near your window ^_^ Happy COLD summer time !

A CUTE QUOTE FOR THIS POST: " A twirl sundae is not only for SUNDAY, but for EVERYDAY! " It means that life must continue its sweetness even bitterness arrives. ^_^

Aside from twirl ice cream, I made some lovely keychains as a gift for my tita. . . ^_^

                                       This is my gift to tita when she celebrated her birthday!

                                                      A HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG
