Around two weeks ago, I went on Craiglist and searched for clay and tools to help me in my newfound hobby which I call "fun with polymer clay". I found two postings in my general geographical area. One sent me clay and today, the kindly grandmother Dorita sent me a HUGE package of everything a budding polymer clay artist could dream of but couldn't ( Read more... )

Because I'm a total nerd, I'm doing jigsaw puzzles now. Lots and lots of 'em! Actually my mom has been doing most of the work (she knows 'secret techniques', lol) but whenever she's out, I sneak up and put in a couple of pieces. Now even my bros are hooked hahaha! We're almost done with a 19" x 13" 500-piece puzzle of a ship at sea. All the whites ( Read more... )

Music trip: "Vestige" by T.M. Revolution and "Shinkai no Kodoku" (The Sea's Loneliness) by Houko Kuwashima, both from the Gundam Seed Destiny OST. Watching some of the new music on MTV has renewed my jaded spirits too: Fall Out Boy, The Almost, Aiden, Arctic Monkeys, and Amy Winehouse. I have no idea how long these bands/people have been around but ( Read more... )

PC games are the spawn of hell.

There's no chart or guide to begin with. The game give you several common fish to start with, and through combinations and permutations (Math 12, ugh...) you ( Read more... )

I went and bought the Gundam Blitz 1/100 model. I finished assembling it and it looks great! I bouight it for $20.00 which is cheaper than in the Philippines. I'm contemplating buying more of the mechas from Gundam Seed and GS Destiny. I find it very relaxing to assemble and rewarding to behold once completed :) They're fully poseable, and I have ( Read more... )

Congratulations to me! After suffering a knife cut and prick from my wonderful X-Acto knife (couldnt find the Bandai Plastic Cutter, agh!) I just finished constructing my Gundam Duel Assault Shroud 1/100 model! It took me maybe a total of 6 hours! It's beautiful! I love the combination of colors and the SIZE of it! I used to build 1/144 models ( Read more... )

This is my current shopping list. Give me around a year to buy all listed items. A year's good. You know why? Because a month into that year, I'd probably lose interest and not buy them at all. Heeee.

1. "Haunted" by Chuck Palahnuik (Php 375.00 at PowerBooks)

2. "Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman (around Php 365.00 at PowerBooks)

3. A pair of kitten-heeled ( Read more... )

Today Ate She offered me half a kilo of plaster of paris. It's yellow. I bought a bag of plaster from National Bookstore once and it was white. This yellow powder's softer and finer though. Anyway I can't wait to experiment on this. Hopefully I can create a mold for the small porcelain masks whose stock Toy Kingdom discontinued a year ago.
