Bought this gundam a while back. Strike freedom has to be one of my favourites. I even have the master grade model locked up tightly in my cupboard… awaiting the day I get my own airbrush! Was messing around when I took these pictures. It was pretty late at night and I was getting crazy ideas. As you can see, this figure is pretty detailed for its size. However, I was thinking of adding some modifications. hmmm… maybe this can be a before shot. With golden week (continuous public holidays in Japan) around the corner, I should be able to find some time to get around to it. In fact, let’s do it! Let’s do that and take some more photos! Maybe next time round, he can pose with his big guns ^^.

Cosmic Region 7003 – Strike Freedom Gundam
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Macbook Air ad spoof
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Saw this spoof on youtube today and it got me all defensive ^^. haha. nah. While some prefer the x300. Me, I love my mba. It’s sleek, it’s cool and It snugly fits new foofbag I bought recently. Ride the wave dude! If you’re wondering, foof only makes bags for macs ^^. I haven’t had a need to plug in an external disk drive nor a usb hub. The only usb I plug into it is a tiny usb drive that slots into my pocket (and not forgetting the display adapter when I do presentations). The trackpad with multitouch of course works great. You can tell when you unconsciously start to perform a “swipe” (3 finger gesture on the trackpad) with it. I’m sure the x300 is a great machine for many. But, I’m just head over heals in love with my mba ^^.
Places to eat in Roppongi – R Burger
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008
Had lunch at this cafe. It’s kinda like MOS burger in that they do premium burgers… full of collagen! Might be a good place to start frequenting if one wants to stay looking young ^^. A burger with white buns bursting with collagen! Not something you see everyday.
The most 人気があるバーガー (popular burger) is the チキン梅バーガー (chicken with sour plum sauce). Don’t know what to get? Can’t go wrong with the one that’s popular with customers. I found the taste to be a little more on the feminine side. A good date place too perhaps ^^.
Ingredients used include 1000mg or marine collagen, insecticide-free Shiso leaf made from “Mist Method” (Don’t ask me. I don’t know what “Mist Method” means), fresh vegetables and natural salt. Next time I visit, 黒酢バーガー (Chinese black vinegar burger)!
“Juicy 100% Japanese pork patty matched with a healthy black vinegar base additive-free sauce. With insecticide-free Shiso leaf and radish pickles makes a marriage of Chinese and Japanese taste!”
That was written in the English menu… I had to rewrite it a little (some grammatical and spelling mistakes… there is a world of difference between putty and patty).
It’s right next to Tokyo Midtown so you can always go shopping after. Oh yeah! Midtown is having their one year anniversary sale. Can’t believe it’s already been a year since they opened. And I’ve only been there like…. twice.
Foofbag
Monday, April 28th, 2008
Woo hoo! It’s a good thing I stayed in late this morning. Spider sense was tingling when I got up. Something was going to arrive today. And I was right! My foofbag arrived! Woo hoo! Now I won’t have to use a makeshift sleeve for the macbook pro to protect my mba (macbook air) when I’m on the go. I’ve been looking for something cool to house my mba in. Envelopes you say? That’s so cliche. Back in the day when I was still with my 12″ powerbook, I had a sleeve from radtech. That was a way cool sleeve. It was extremely thin and extremely unobtrusive. Getting another for the mba would be good too. Could also use the optical grade cloth to wipe the screen whenever it got dusty. But nah, I thought I would go with something a little more creative. My sis has a pink foofbag. So I checked out their online store. They have some pretty neat sleeves with aesthetic prints… and I was just carried away by the green waves. Since I was in Japan, why not go for a Japanese look ^^. What do you think? Doesn’t my foofbag look like a nice comfy pillow?
Made for Japan
Monday, April 28th, 2008
Just a follow-up to my recent post Adidas heaven in Roppongi. Here’s a picture of Made for Japan declaration that is on the shoe! I found this here. Seems to be the official website of an Adidas Originals store all the way up north in Hokkaido! It’s all in Japanese, but at least you’ll get to check out new Adidas Originals goodies. Everything is listed alongside its price. No confusion there ^^. Be quick if you want though… I’m not sure if it’ll last long. Might be a limited thingy.
シブカサ (Shibukasa)
Monday, April 28th, 2008
In need of an umbrella in Shibuya? Look around for stores supporting “shibukasa“. You can probably recognise them by their 3 umbrella logo. It’s a pretty neat organization. They use left behind umbrellas (if it stays in lost and found for more than 2 weeks, it’s up for grabs) and lend it out to anyone who needs it. Return it and you’ll get 50R of Earth Day Money which you’ll get to buy things with. I wonder how many people will actually remember to return it though… And will this hurt umbrella sales? ^^
saw this first here at Japan Today.
Nuttin but Stringz
Sunday, April 27th, 2008Saw this duo on the weekly showbiz countdown. Didn’t manage to find the actual video but did find this kid friendly one ^^. Check out their strings. These guys have some seriously cool rap-violin harmony going. Nuttin but stringz presents Thunder! A little reminiscence of Vanessa Mae. You like?
Can you get her sign for me ?
