My last post of 2006 will be divied into 2 parts - this one for fangirling and another one for pix of Ollie as a demon king! XP
First up is the pic from Newtype Romance Winter of Shuuei that I promised gackoi
Click for bigger image!
Then I remembered that there's actually a much jucier pix of the guys from Saiunkoku in the Autumn addition of Newtype Romance!!

Kouyuu just refuses to let his hair down... ^^;;
And this is my fave pix from the summer edition, which is also the 1st issue of Newtype Romance~ ^^
Click to see Ryuuki in his full glory~
***** HERE is a translation of TRC 138 which is a super confusing chapter... it's mainly about TRC!Clow (Princess Sakura's father) and he talks about how there is something he must do and how there's someone he's apart from who wants very much to meet... Yuko?
Could TRC!Clow actually be CCS!Clow... perhaps there is only one Clow and he has the power to travel thru different dimensions to cause havoc...
Somehow, I have a feeling that although CCS! or Real!Syaoran seems to be talking about TRC!Sakura, he might actually be talking about CCS!Sakura. Perhaps TRC!Sakura is also a clone!
Anyway, the splash is veru pretty~~ the splashes seem to be getting better and better~~
Wanted to post these pictures on X'mas Eve but was much too sleepy and didn't have time on the 25th and 26th... ^^;;
Had a rather busy X'mas! Went out almost every day!
Anyway...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! (it's very late, I know... but late is better than never!)
These pictures were taken in early November, a few days after Halloween, the wings were part of a costume that wasn't used at the last moment... Ollie is so cute~~ <3
May all your Christmases be WHITE! XP
Went to TST with my mother on the 24th and marvelled at the long, long queues of people in front of the brand name stores e.g. LV and Gucci! ^^;; Then bought some takeaway from The Spaghetti House as X'mas dinner.
Then the whole family (except for Miguel who stayed home to play his new PSP games) went shopping at Shatin New Town Plaza. Bought a cute T-shirt with a puppy dog drawing on it~
Then yesterday (26th) went to the so-called Shopping Festival & Food Extravaganza at the Exhibition Centre. Lots and lots of people... (>_< but not much to see or nothing new and interesting to see.
Then today I had to work.... (have to work tomorrow and on Friday as well...) moved all the books and tapes from the 4the floor of the old school building to the 6th floor of the new building... fortunately, the new building has a lift! But the old building doesn't...
And just when I have time to go online (during my many breaks today... the teachers are all on holiday so it was just me and the other new TA), I find the internet has died... because of the earthquake over in Taiwan... the underwater cables near Taiwan are damaged or something, I think...
However, now have limited internet access, mostly to other Asian-based sites. Can't access Google or Gmail... so had to reactivate my old Hotmail account... ^^;; I don't like Hotmail... =_= Gmail is so much more user-friendly.
Did a little X'mas shopping today just for myself! ^^;; As got some X'mas money from my aunt!
So I got the PB7~~ Now have to try to figure out what that puzzle within a puzzle is!
Got the OSTs for Code Geass and Death Note (the anime). Couldn't find the OST for Iroha though... Not that I'd thought I'd be able to find it in the 1st place, as those stores mostly only stock stuff for the more popular Jap singers and anime...
Anyway, the Code OST came with a sticker of the cover for you to stick on the CD. And the DN one was a so-called "special edition", but turns out that what separates it from the ordinary edition is just the glow-in-the-dark dustcover... ^^;; Tricked yet again! They did the same thing with the special edition Advent Children OST... a shiny, sparkly dustcover... =_=
Also got PASH! and Newtype Romance Winter~
The Newtype Romance one has some pages on Saiunkoku (all the guys with their hair down! But only Ryuuki gets a page all to himself! XP) and Iroha, in addition to Code Geass~ There is a feature where they anaylsed the clothes of characters who're normally dressed in traditional clothing and there was 1/2 page on Akizuki (Iroha)~ There was also one on pets and Ryuk is listed as Light's "pet"! LOL Seems like Lelouch is Arthur's official owner.
And lastly, I got that Death Note illustration book - Blanc et Noir~ It was the last one!
I've also finally figured out what to get my brother and sister, but still no idea on what to get my parents...
Mood: numb Music: Ryuutarou Okiayu - Shuuen no Hakanaki Negai to wa
Have you ever seen a male superhero whose costume is based on the Sanrio character, My Melody (a pink bunny)?? And whose partner-in-crime is a fat middle-aged man in a sheep costume!?
If you haven't, then you've got to see this! XP
He's pink, has bunny ears (plus a yellow flower on one of them!) and even has a pink usamimi mobile complete with a fluffy white tail! LOL The anime is called "Onegai My Melody". ^^
Many thanks Dia for helping me with my download problems and to lina_inverse78 from okiayu_sama
And this superhero, Usamimi Kamen (Masked Bunny Ears?? LOL) is voiced Ryuutarou Okiayu! ^^
And there's a mini album out! You can get it HERE! There are 4 songs in total and Okiayu-sama sings the 1st three. The 1st song "Ore wa Usamimi Kamen" is the one in the video above and is pure crack! But I love the 2nd song, "Yuuhi no Marionetto" (Marionette??) the best, it's a nice ballad that perfectly suits his deep, mellow voice~~ <3 And somehow it reminds me of Gackt-era Malice Mizer... ^^;;
****
And no Nami post is complete with some form of doll ranting...
Thanks for the positive response from some of my LJ friends to Uri Rich~ If I do end up getting him, it's all you guys' fault! LOL
I think I'll call him "Aurelius" meaning "golden" and apparently read "aw-REE-lee-oh". I never knew that... ^^;; The feeling he gives me is one of silent strength, so I went looking for names related to "silence" or "strength" but didn't like any of them. So I looked for names related to his name "Uri" and somehow found "Aurelius"! ^^ I think he shall be related to my Lelouch... somehow...
Though at 71cm, he'll be quite difficult to clothe...
Anyway, Dolkot has come out with 2 sleeping/dreaming versions of Kiss! Moon & Loon!
Moon is the white-haired one and Loon the dark-haired one. I'm more interested in Loon~
Loon seems so sweet and peaceful~
Also a little interested in Souldoll's new Haoul. ^^
You can choose to get either another smaller doll or the clothes he has in the pictures as a free gift during this special promotion period! I love his clothes!
But, but I've already decided to get Leeke Chouette plus some wigs from Leeke and maybe a X'mas box before the price increase in Jan... O(>_<)O
End Rant!
Mood: sleepy and cold... Music: Ryuutarou Okiayu - Yuuhi no Marionetto3>)o
Dollmore has come out with another Model Boy doll! His name's Uri Rich~
I like him more than Kyle Reese~ Though, the feeling the 2 of them give me is quite different. Kyle's features are softer and he has this dreamy, happy, head-in-the-clouds aura about him, while Uri's features are much stronger and more distinct and he seems to emit this quiet strength... ^^;;
Anyway, I like his eyes! ^^ The part that always gets me, be it a real or fictional person or a doll is the eyes!
**** There are some Code Geass magazine scans and translations (from PASH! and Newtype Romance Winter) over at code_geass 2 more things to add to my shopping list! So many things to get, yet so little time... =_= For those of you whom I've wanted to send X'mas presents to, I'm very, very sorry as I'll only be able to send them out after X'mas...
Anyway, I esp. like the 50Qs part for Lelouch in Newtype Romance~ Esp. the last question!
50. What do you want for Christmas?: A sewing machine. I'll make a new mask and a cloak.
DoT Homme Ducan is LOVE~ ^^ His place on my wishlist just went up by 2 pts! LOL My wishlist is like the stock market! My lovely Cain, the daemon formed from Tristan's heart. ^^
And love, love seiyuu, Ryuutarou Okiayu's singing voice~ Currently addicted to his songs. ^^
I don't like the cold... but I don't like hot weather either... ^^;;
Ollie has been very hyper lately. He's always whining for someone to play with him... he hasn't outgrown his puppy stage yet.
Went to DollHeart on Friday and they had a Leeke doll display!! Chouette is so, so cute in real life, the picture on the official site do him no justice at all! I'll definitely get him during the sale period which is supposed to start on the 26th~ He'll be "Crizant".
A Jump Festa 2007 Square-Enix report can be found HERE (thanks to kowaiki).
There are pictures of a Roxas statue~~ He's smiling! ^^
So the heroine in FF13 is called "Lightning" or at least it's her nick/codename. And there's another blond guy... the hero?
And the extended version of the FF Versus 13 trailer was shown!!
"This is a fantasy based on reality."
At the beginning, it shows three luxury cars on the highway. The main character (our dark-hair red-eye man), is inside one of the cars. The highway sign has English one it.
Then it's the trailer bit.
After the man's eyes gone red, he charges forward to his enemies, killing a few. He breaks the arm of one soldier and uses that soldier's gun to shoot the rest. He then breaks the neck of the soldier he used. The man then sees more enemies come by jumping down using wires from on top of the building (one he walked out from). Slowly he walks back upstairs. Suddenly he disappears. The camera searches for him and find him beating up the soldiers on the wires. He kills more enemies by teleporting from places to places. Blood splatters as he stabs one of the soldiers. Some other soldiers fire canon things at him. Of course, his trusty swords protect him from all harm. Some more soldiers rushs up to him, but are stopped by his swords again. The man calmly walks back to the skyscraper, like he'd been disturbed in his nap.
The trailer ends with this line: "The true figure is still hidden in the sleep."
I want to see it! I want to see it! o(>_<)o Kakkoii~~~ His eyes glow! He teleports! He has swords that protect him! He is able to kill all his enemies in his sleep! Reminds me of that Chinese phrase about your soul coming out and doing all sort of things while you sleep. That must have been what he did!
A more detailed description of the new Crisis Core can be found HERE on adventchildren.net
Sephiroth and Zack find a corpse in a forest. Zack: "Genesis!?" Sephiroth: "It's different, a Genesis Copy." Zack: "A human clone!?"
So there are many Gackt Genesis clones running around!
In some remote region, Zack and a Shinra troop are talking. Zack: "Where are you from?" Troop: "Nibelheim." Zack: "Hehehe, I'm from Gongaga! When it comes to remote regions, the two of us shouldn't be afraid of anything. What's your name?"
The troop, laughing, removes his helmet, revealing himself to be Cloud. Cloud: "I'm Cloud."
