Sailor Moon Crystal Books

This is the official SMC art book. I ordered it from Japan and it finally came in about the end of August I think. Here's a few pics from the book. It really is awesome :-)

This is from a magazine. I originally only got it because of Sailor Moon. I didn't know anything about Black Butler. I received it and I was so excited to get it. About a month later I started watching season 1 and 2 of Black Butler. One day I was looking through my comics and saw the cover again. That's when I realized it was a cover from a show I just started seeing and love. How cool. :-) 2 shows in one. Yeah. Some pics from the mag.

 Front Cover and the Sailor Moon thing is a pull out poster.

Back cover.

Another thing I wanted to add was a bag I've been wanting for so long since I saw it somewhere... probably some anime thing. I pre-ordered it from Japan and I finally got it at the begging of September. 

It's so pretty :-)

Sailor Moon Crystal Act 7 Mamoru Chiba

Sailor Moon Crystal just keeps getting better and better.  I still keep waking up at 3am in the morning, twice a month just to watch Crystal. I'm that dedicated. Haha. OMG. I love Crystal so much. Today's episode was great. Mamoru and Usagi are so cute together. You can see a deeper relationship forming between them. I love this one so much better than the original. *_* They both want to be with each other. *Happy sighs* Haha.

 Here's a few screenshots :-) 

One of my favorite parts of the episode. :-)

They keep looking at each other *_* How sweet!

Sailor Moon Crystal Merchandise

I pre-ordered some Sailor Moon Crystal items I got from Japan. Just thought I share some of the items because they are awesome!

Two notepads, Two clear file folders and a bookmark.

I'll share some other stuff I've ordered in the past few months that I've forgotten to post about.

New Computer 2014

Shortly after I got a new phone, my computer died. Ahh. My poor imac. I've had my comp since early 2009. I still have to take it to a shop and see if I can still get all my info off from it. I'm hoping I can, if not, oh well. I move on. I was without a desktop computer for two weeks. I tried using an old laptop and I somehow manage to get it to work. That laptop compute was bought in 2006. I used it for a few days to work on something for my mom then it decided to stopped working. I borrowed Dave's old laptop until I was able to get a new comp. Thanks to Dave I got a new iMac! :-D Yay. It's so pretty and big. I got a 27 inch screen :-) I also managed to get the programs I paid from back from when I was in school. :-D YAY. Those were the important things. I can use photoshop, after effects, illustrator, and some other ones. I also downloaded Minecraft again. I played a little bit but I've been busy writing and drawing some comic book story ideas. Haha. Yup. I will see what I can do with that. So yay for my new comp and all the new stuff I will be able to make.

This is my desktop pic :-) HEHE.

New Phone

My HTC Evo 3D finally decided to die. Boo. I was without a phone the whole weekend. It felt strange but at the same time, awesome. :-) But sadly... (maybe) I had to get a phone for work and stuff. David actually went looking for phones for me and suggested which phones to check out. He mentioned HTC one, LG G2, Samsung S5, and Nokia I think? The one I ended up getting was the Samsung S5. It was nice and a perfect fit for me. Also, if I want to buy a watch in the future for it, I can totally do that :-) hehe. I love watches by the way... haha :-D

Okay... that's it for this.

My bday!

It was my bday on Sunday August 10th. I'm 28 years old now. I don't feel any different. I still feel young and like me. Haha. :-) Gotta keep up my fitness with my new bike! Hehe. So happy that I bought a new bike for my bday. Jackie helped me out and we carried it in her car. Woo. This new bike is lighter than my other one. Yay. I still haven't had a chance to take it out, busy at work and then on my days off I have other things to do. Hopefully I can ride it soon.

The Late Late Show!

Yay. I few weeks ago, Thursday July 17th, I finally went to a taping of the Craig Ferguson show. It was so awesome. I'm glad that I went since this year it's his last on the show. But I did have a little bit of a problem. I left my ID at home and we already had arrived to the studio. The day before I went out on my bike and forgot to take it out from my bike bag. I did luckily have my old student ID. I was worried they would not accept it and Dave and I could not get it. But they did. YAY! We also got to see two different tapings. Woo. Then we watched those taping online. Haha. 

I've been busy with work and things. Post more stuff later. That's it for now.

My Car Battery Died

Oh no. That was problably my first thought when my car wouldn't start on Friday afternoon. (July 11th.) I tried a few times but no go. But luckly my brother just got home about 5 mins ealier from escondido. He comes down to visit on the weekends. I asked his for a ride and off we went to work at Dodgers stadium. When I checked the map on google the 134 E was all red down to the 5 S fwy. Because I was with my brother I told him to go down the carpool lane down the 134 E and onto the 2 S. 

I messaged Jackie and Hester letting them know of my sitiattion in case I didn't make it. But I actually made it in time woo. This is one example of my belief on how "Everything happens for a reason." If my car battery hadn't died, I would have been stuck in traffic and late for work. But instead my bro helped, rescued me and I got to work on time. Woo! :-) I called my dad and let him know what happened to my car. He helped out and got me a new car battery. Yay!

Moon Crisis : A Sailor Moon Tribute Art Show

I went to an art show all dedicated to Sailor Moon. I had fun looking at all these pretty art pieces and different art styles. I also had the chance to dress up again in my Princess Serenity cosplay. Yay! I actually had a little bit of a problem with my wig. It got tangled and I managed to messed it up even further but Dave came to my rescue and helped me fix it. YAY! I'm so grateful. I didn't think I would be using my wig for the show, but I did. Hehe. We got to Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim at 7pm. Show started at 6pm. I wanted to be there earlier but because of the wig, we got delayed. But we still managed to arrive and see everything. I also bought an art print since it was the only one I could afford. Haha. All money from this print sale went to charity. :-)

Here's a link of all the pictures from the art show if you're interested in seeing them.

Anime Expo 2014

I finished my Princess Serenity. Yay! I wore it for Anime Expo 2014 and the Sailor Moon tribute art show this past week. Woo. (Tribute art show on another blog post!)  I want to mention as well, this is the first time since 2008 that I've been to Anime Expo. I stopped caring about watching anime, but because of the Sailor Moon Reboot, I decided to go once again.

Anime expo. (AX)

I went to AX with Angelica. I got up and ready at home. I went to pick her up at around 10:15am. We got to the convention center around 11am. We waited about and hour and a half to get in and to buy out tickets for the day. I haven't been to AX since 2007-2008 (not sure.) A long while. The lines for pre-registration were insane. AX needs to figure out a better way to organize their expo. But aside from that, we met up with Dana and went towards a panel I wanted to see a panel. Dana went her own way to a Para Para dancing course. All along the way people kept asking for pictures and I said. Angelica and I waited in line for our panel and after a bit we found out it was cancelled. The only panel I kinda wanted to go.

After that we decided to go to the exhibit hall to look around and maybe shop for a bit.  Angelica went crazy for plushies and there were so many as well. We ended up doing a Sailor Moon scavenger hunt and went all over the place getting stamps. We ended up getting a Sailor Moon coin (in honor of the premiere of the remake) for finishing our quest. This took place at the Viz booth. They were giving out free bags with purchase of any of their items. One of the bags was a Sailor Moon bag. I had to get it. I bought a bleach shirt and got my bag. Yay! I also found an MLP toy. It was priced for $10 dollars. I had to get it. The employee from the store I got it from said his boss had originally priced at $50. Haha. Well good thing I found this pony, Fun Fairy.

 Bleach Shirt that I bought.

 Sailor Moon bag came free with shirt

Coin I got for free at the Sailor Moon scavenger hunt.

Pony! :-D

We kept exploring the exhibit hall and we ended up coming up to the Toy Mandala booth. I saw Keith first and then Dustin. So I went over to say hi. We kept walking and people kept stopping me for pictures. Haha. We finally looked around at all the artist alley stuff but didn't look at everything. We finally decided to leave around 5pm.

A little bit of traffic going home but we still made it through. I dropped off Angelica and I finally went home. No one was home so I took a few pics with my cat, Serenity with my Princess Serenity outfit. So that was it. That's Anime expo. We'll see what happens for next year.

My cat Serenity is sneaky. She's at the bottom left corner.

Sailor Moon Crystal

Sailor Moon Crystal finally premiered and it was beautiful. I was up on Saturday July 5th at 3am to watch the simulcast from Japan time. I love it and I want to see more! I've seen the first episode 3 times already and I have the urge to watch it again. It was a perfect start to the show and so far it's similar to the manga. The series will air twice a month on Saturdays. 26 episodes in total... So we are in for a long ride until the last episode. Eeek. Hehe. :-] I can't wait for what's to come.

These are some of my favorite screen shots from episode 1 of Sailor Moon Crystal. :-)

Part of the opening. *Happy sighs* :-]

This was really funny. Luna scratching Usagi.

Usagi recognizes Mamoru.

Mamoru recognizes Usagi.

How romantic... Haha. *_*

Sailor of love and justice.

Tuxedo Kamen. Tuxedo Mask.

Exactly like the manga!

How dreamy *_*

*Blushing*

The moonlight is the message of love.

May 29th, 2014

I went to a Backstreet Boys concert at The Forum. I went with Kenia. I picked her up from Beaumont. We arrived around 4pm I believe to The Forum. We were actually right next to a cemetery and I realized it's where my grandma was at. We took a little bit of time going there and finding where my grandma was at. Shortly after we went to wait in line for the concert. Avril Lavigne opened for the Backstreet boys. After she went up it was about 15 minutes then the boys came up. It was an awesome show. That night I dropped of Kenia and actually stayed the night in Beaumont.

 I love this silhouette.

I also want to mention on this night at around 11pm. My moms cat, Kri-Kri died. She had been sick for a bit and definitely really old. I found out the day after about her passing. I was sad to hear about it, and I was sad for a bit because of it. But I am happy that she had a place to call home. Kri-Kri died in her bed and my mom was with her when it happened. So she also wasn't alone either.

R.I.P. Kri-Kri, you little hungry girl.
