Experimenting with WordPress

I have tried and played around with my WordPress blog for the past few days. I have successfully moved over my posts here to my domain name and web host. I also did a successful backup of the database and tables of this blog (thanks to the support pages of WordPress and Google). With a self hosted wordpress blog, I am able to customize any theme as well as play around with nifty plugins for this blog.

Go here to check out what I have done so far. Eventually, I will use that as my primary blog site and just leave this wordpress blog dormant for a while..at least while my hosting package is still active

Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L

It was always my fascination to watch mecha in animation. Voltes V, Voltron, Daimos and then the Gundam Series. I haven’t been familiar with the timelines and all of the entire Gundam universe. But so far I have watched Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny and currently Gundam 00.

I also have a few kit collections that fortunately up till now haven’t had the time to assemble them. I still have an MG Freedom 1/100, HG Blitz 1/100, HG 1/100 launcher strike, and HG 1/100 Providence gundam all from the Gundam Seed universe.

An officemate of mine opened my eyes to the world of kit building. I even said to him before ” what for 1k pesos I’d still assemble that thing?.. I thought it was already a finished product”.. he then responsed by saying “the joy is in the assembly stage and not the finished stage”. Ok so I thought to myself the heck for my 1st kit I bought from him a HG 1/144 Justice Gundam (pic below). I did mess up this build since Im a total newbie, overall I was contented.

Then I read up on Gundams some more, how to assemble, paint and put a nice finish to it. I even read on how to setup a mini studio for gundam photography. The cameras used were the DSLR’s of Canon…I hope one day I can have one of these. Anyway enjoy the pics for now taken from my reliable N95 phone. Some of the pics maybe out of focus or dont have any detail since I was still experimenting with the settings. The photos are set to 3 megapixels and some of them are in close up mode.  This Gundam kit here is by far the most fragile kit I have ever encountered, parts easily fall off, there were instances even that I almost broke a part.

Existence

Just a thought at the top of my head, would the world be much happier and much better if I didn’t exist? Maybe..who knows..

Happy New Year!

Another year has passed. Goodbye 2007 and welcome 2008.  I had a lot of things to be grateful for the past year. It has taught me lessons and has taught me to become stronger and resilient.  I’m looking forward to the coming year and I hope that the year 2008 will bring the best to my family, friends, and me. I’m really hoping that more blessings and graces would come our way.

Have a happy new year to all!
