Super Exciting Stuff

Once again, as I stumble across cyberspace, I encounter a blog post that catches my attention and motivates me to try my luck at a chance to win an extremely cool Silver Surfer GC.

But before I join, let me introduce the person holding the contest for us to enjoy. Her name is Kumiko Mae Yasuda and you can visit her blog here: http://www.lovingsunshine.com/2010/07/how-super-are-you.html

If you're curious to know what the this ride is, then see the photos below.



So if you're up for a daring adventure, go and visit Kumiko's blog and join the contest!

My answer to her question:

I am a naturally happy person and a lot of things make me happy for the simplest of reasons. But still, the things that super make me happy is the anticipation of a new adventure. I love trying out new things, going to new places or even just meeting new people. Whether it's going spelunking in Sagada, feeling like a kid and playing around in Disneyland, joining the annual Coleman camping trip (where I only knew 2 people out of 90!), or exploring Laoag-Vigan-Pagudpud in just 2 days carrying nothing but a backpack on an Amazing-Race-like expedition, all these make me happy, to say the least. I guess happiness to me, is really making the most out of life and doing everything I can while I still can.

Dranei Mage: Tamuura - World of Warcraft Action Figure

This blog post will be the first to feature my most recent addiction: collecting Warcraft action figures. Well, action might not be the correct word to use as almost all of these figures have no movable joints. Statues may be a more apt term to describe them.


Anyway, this addiction may have been brought about by me always hanging around with Lem and Charles. They both have a similar passion for Gundams (which I don't share) and anime collectibles (which I do). I did try looking for Bleach and One Piece sets but sometimes the workmanship doesn't appeal to me. And besides, I don't want to buy sets they already bought.
Now on to my recent acquisition.

Meet Tamuura. She is, in all honesty, a nobody. She's not a DOTA character. She's not in any major Warcraft storyline. Heck, she's not even in any story line!



But I like how she looks so I bought her. =) Seen below is a full frontal picture of her. And a little note:

One of the things I absolutely love about this figure is her expression. She looks so haughty, staring at you like that.



A closer look at her bodice and hand. Nice long, purple fingernails. :)




It's such a shame the stockings don't stand out. They blend too much with her skin. It was a nice touch, though.



I don't like the design of her sword much. Shouldn't a mage be carrying a staff of some sort?

A closer look at her pauldrons. Very detailed.

More pictures of Tamuura's beautiful face.
