I want to say that I’m from 1. August offline. I go to Egypt. Hope we ’see’ us there again. I don’t know why I will have Internet again, because every year we find new problems with our telephone/internet line and router and so on. But I should be back online in a few days.

So guys, have a great time without me being online!

Soon it’s time to fly.
To Egypt of course.

As you may know, I will go to Egypt this summer again. Many people asking me if I not got bored to go every year to Egypt.
Actually… not. Every year is different. Like last year my cousin wedding, get new furniture and so on. And then the important thing – the family. Can’t wait to see them again. I miss them. So I like to go there.

But, I’m starting to hate this travelling work before you actual travel. Like cleaning the garden, order the stuff you need for the trip, eat the food we have (and that’s a  lot!), cleaning the house and so on. When you leave your home for 5 weeks you have to do a lot. And I’m starting to hate that and get lazy to go to Egypt. But when you in the plane to Egypt, you forget everything and will be happy to see your beloved family (sometimes head desk too).

Let’s talk about the actual flight. It will be two.
The first one is from Stuttgart airport to Frankfurt a/M airport in Sunday evening, 1. August. It’s normal for us to change to plane because there aren’t any direct flights from Stuttgart to Egypt. So we got used to it over the years.

At Frankfurt, we have around 2 hours to wait for the next plane. Better then the last few years. We traveled with Swiss and had to change in Zurich. We had only about 45 min. And you have to walk a lot and even go to another Terminal. We almost missed the plane last year! But this time we don’t fly with Swiss.

And after those two hours of waiting we will be in the last plane to Egypt. We will fly trough the night. I had one time a night flight, but that was back when I was a child. I hope I can get some sleep there. With my headphones and my MP3 player shouldn’t be a problem.

But every time you are going to sleep, the food comes. I HATE that. The food is good. But I prefer to sleep now. And later I can’t sleep again. I don’t know why. I’m just awake. Sometimes watching the flights movie, playing the on board games or just continue listen to my music.

Over the years it’s gotten comfortable to watch something in the plane. Everyone have a little LCD TV in his seat and a controle to select a movie or play games. Good for people who gets easly bored and don’t feeling ill or are frightend of flights.

For myself I’m not afraid. But I don’t like being in high places. But I can look outside the window without any problems. Strange how I am…

After 3-4 hour long flight we will land in Cairo, Egypt. In the very morning. Then we will grab a taxi and go to our home.

There we have to clean too. My mom was there from a couple of months, but still it needs to be cleaned again.

So, that will be my flight day/night.

When we are there I may have Internet in a few days. It’s planned that we have at the 3rd of August internet, but every year our normal telephone line got stollen. Nothing to worry about since we don’t pay for their calls. Only they are just take our line. I don’t know why…

That’s all for now. I may come up with a next blog entry.

I was there and yeah – now I have something to talk about!
About my hobby and what will happen.

First of all, sorry for not updating my blog recently. It was just that nothing really happened in my life that it was worth to mention. Actually – NOTHING happened at all those two weeks. I was going to work, watching Summer Anime, playing MW2. That’s all.

But now I have to get ready for many things. I will go to Egypt next week. Only some things are left to buy. Like a USB Hub. And cleaning the house and everything. It’s just a haszzle to do that. And that one week will be over in no time. Should I be happy or sad? Well, when I leave my house and arrived in Egypt I will be happy. Like every year. But more flight details later.

Something is happening on the other side of the world. Yep, a rice corn has fallen to earth. And Wonfes 2010 Summer. Aka Money Destroyer!

I could every time cry of joy or cry of how much Money I will need to spent on those things I want and on those things I planned!
But I can say what figures I like until now from the Wonfes until now. It’s cheap and a great blog filler!

Black Gold Saw – Anime Ver.

HELL YEAH! I knew it they would do it. I think the whole cast will be figured!

Black Gold Saw – figma

figma is there – Where is the Nendo? Coming up soon!
BRS x GSC = Money Killer!

Dead Master – Nendo

Probably the last Nendo for me.

Append – Hatsune Miku

I heard it should be a Garage Kit first. But I do like her.

Love is War – Hatsune Miku

Maybe the biggest base ever for a figure. I can see the price already.
Too much!

Flandre Scarlet – Nendo

Cute, very! But will be limited and hard to handle.
Because of her wings.

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai – Nendo

Cute too. figma version is already planned too.
I really like her face.

There are other figures too, but I only looked for those who I liked by the first sight.
As I said to stop for Nendos, the reason is their base. They are not very stable and somehow… I hate to arrange them. I like figures more that are not moveable.

And what did you found out what you like? Tell me. I think everyone should have at least now something what he likes this time.

That’s all for now. On the next update I will come up with some info’s about the upcoming flight to Egypt.

It’s really warm here today.

It’s been a warm week in Germany again. And the forecast said today, Sunday, will be very hot. Well, I don’t say anything. Better then this cold we had in spring.I even moved myself to our basement yesterday. It’s very cool down there. But after a while it was a bit too cold. But when you want to take a break from the heat this place is perfect.

Filled with everything you don’t need, but without the heat too

Well, what happened this week. I had work of course. Nothing special. Only at the trainee center. Our job was to make some presentation and documentation about we worked in our last months. So I finally made some pictures with my DSLR at work.

I deleted those pictures because I don’t want to get fired of such stupid reasons.
If you want to see my workplace, just go to the German Wikipedia and look for
HVT, KVZ and APL.

Thank you.

What’s next? I can only say that I reached prestige level 10 in MW2 and I’m currently level 50 there. Finally I made it to this prestige level. No more prestige! Now I’m leveling all kinds of weapons. Like M4A1 or the Baretta 50 cal. There is still so many things left in MW2 to do.

I had a little photosession too. I finally made those pictures I had in my mind when I got Sakuya Nendo:

She is so moe!

Different lightiing makes a lot!

Had fun taking those pictures. Even when the blood looks a bit off since I just done it fast.

And yeah: The new Anime season has begun! Pretty started everything I wanted to far and I like it.
Well, that’s all for now.

Have a great week!

Time for another Loot Update.

Another month has passed. This time it was rather much too. Some things were not planned to buy. But I took the chance and get them!

Let’s begin with the Code Geass Stuff

Code Geass ~Romantic Variation~ Ichiban Kuji Set

Was the chance what I talked about. I wanted those figures but they were set as Prize. So hard to get. But Archonia had them so I get them! I wanted to buy the other C.C. too but she is sold out now. At least I have now 3 different C.C.s in my collection.

Mai Waifu~

She is even castoff able

<3

Kallen too. Even have some details

It looks heavy and it’s heavy. Can make around 70% of Kallens weight.

The drawing of C.C.

Kallen side

Sekirei Vol. 4 (Ger)

Like every Sekirei DVD it comes with a change cover, two postcards and a booklett.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition 360 (UK)

Looks awesome!

You may ask now, why did I bought the UK version since I have already a GER one. Well, the voices in the UK is much more better, and I wanted from the start actually this version. But I bought the whole console which only contains the normal version. So I sold my GER one and got myself to this one.

Comes with a booklet, the Game, and a code for CoD1 for 360.

Some Artworks

The right pictures looks so damn epic!
A Juggernaut is breaking the glass.

Sakuya Nendo

My first maido and first Touhou Nendo. A instant get for me. But I think I will stop with collecting nendos after I got my BRS Nendo.
She comes with the typical stuff like different faces, knifes, etc.

Marisa figma

My 3rd figma and 3nd Touhou figure. I like her face expression. She comes with a broom, different faces and hands. All the typical figma stuff.

Now Reimu isn’t lonly any more

I also did buy UV filter for my lens.

Well, that was all for this month loot. Quite a sum, isn’t it. But I’m happy with them.

That’s all for this week!

The next Season is almost here.
What will you watch?

Yeah, the cold spring season is almost over. Let us welcome the hot weather and the new Animes!

The complete list

What I will watch:

• Ookamisan to Shichinin no Nakamatchi
  Let’s see about that Taiga copy. It’s a J.C.!

• The Legend of the Legendary Heroes
  I’m watching this because Lulu’s voice actor is playing the main char. Maybe something good will come out of this.

• Kurushitsuji 2
  Watched first season -> So the 2nd season too.

• Mitsudomoe
  Perverted looking elementary pupil? At least it looks funny. Will watch!

• Sekirei – Pure Engagement
  Yeah, finally the second season of Sekirei is here! More Musubi and co! A must see for me.

• Seitokai Yakuindomo
  Looks like a tsundere for me. Well… I will watch it!

• Highschool of the Dead
  I have to say, I don’t like zombie settings at all. But I give this Anime a try and watch it.

• Black Rock Shooter
  I WANT WATCH IT NOAW!

• Nurarihyon no Mago
  InuYasha? Don’t remember much about the trailers, but looks it impressed me so good that I watch it.

• Strike Witches 2
  Watched the first season, so the 2nd season too. Flying pantus!

• Shi Ki
  Something seriuos. I hope it will be cool. Not something like Umineko.

• Sengoku Basara 2nd
  Yeah! More fights! This time the main evil looks like a monkey.

• Asobi ni Iku Yo
  Alien the fallen from the sky. Well… okay. But I will watch that Anime too. Even if I forgot why!

• Cat Shit One
  I’ve been waiting for this since the very first trailer!

Thats… one, two, three… 14 Animes that I want to watch! Yeah. Of course if I got bored and have enough time, I may begin to watch another Anime too.
For me I have to say many continues from Animes that I like. Like Sekirei 2nd. But many new things too. Can’t wait to see them soon.

And what will you watch? Do you like the Animes this season?

Yeah, I’m still play like crazy the shit out of that Game.
And had some real life too.

Another week has passed. Thanks to the school it was quite one without any tests or any pressure like last week which sucked my energy. It was the last week school for this school year. As you know, I have 2 weeks school and 5 weeks works. It’s called Dualsystem here. There are people who are against that system and a few that say it’s good. I don’t like it much. I’m learning some stuff like C Programming which is not very important for my job. Or to say it better: I don’t need it for my job.

But never question why we do study something like this. It’s senseless to ask anyway. At least I had a good mark there. For this year. Not so good was another subject. Somehow those electric stuff is hard for me to understand and the teacher sucks too. But I don’t care. It happened and it’s over.

Friday we got our grade for this year and I’m okay with that. Will try to get over that one bad mark and I would be happy.

Actually there is a thing which made me rage this week: My fucking iPhone 3G.

After upgrading 4.0 and jailbreaking it with to loose every data on it include telephone numbers, notice and what ever (there was my life in there!) I thought I could get happy with my iPhone again. But I was wrong.

After I installed Cydia completely and installed all my Apps on it, my iPhone broke itself while I was starting an App to check something. Somehow the app destroyed the OS and wanted to repair itself with iTunes – which means do everything again. All that happened midnight. At the moment and still I could throw my iPhone to people which saying that iPhone and other Apple products are good. They look only good. NOTHING MORE!

I’m currently using the phone which I had before the iPhone, Nokia N95 8GB Edition. It’s faster, it’s battery is living longer and it’s not making me range all the time due slow down or everything. You can’t compare them directly, but it’s still better. And I’m looking foreword to a new mobile device. The Nokia X6 looks nice with 32GB storage. But I’m currently out of money.

But there is something what I received this week:
My Modern Warfare 2 Hardened UK Version. I already had one, the German Version to be exactly. But I was not pleased with the German voices in the Game. The English version have better voices. And they don’t shout all the time like in the German version. If this Game would be realistic with the voice and sounds, the enemy would know that I was reloading and where I am.

The Game comes in a nice Metal box which looks cool. Beside that there is a small artbook with some illustrations from the maps, weapons and characters. And there is a code for Call of Duty 1 for the Xbox 360. But I still have some problems about that. Maybe because I’m having the German Xbox Live account and the code is for Englisch Xbox Live accounts. Let’s see what I get from the support.

Do you remember this scene in MW2?
I lol’d XD

The weekly Video of the Week:

I like it and it made me to watch the Anime.

This shall all for now. Hope you have all a great week.

This time I will say some things about Tsundere.
The 2nd GREW Explains

What is is Tsundere?

Tsundere comes from tsun tsun (turn your head in disgust) and dere dere (turn over lovey dovey).

What do they?

You can also say the char is moody. But this isn’t quite right. Because tsundere are most of the time in love with the main char but can’t say out it clearly. So they disguise it and talk bad about him as hard as they can to keep this secret. Sometimes a tsundere won’t even believe that she has fallen in love with an other char.

Characteristics:

• Not so honest with themself
• Shy about their true feelings
• Like to rage/destroy things to hide their feeling
• Are most of the time in love with someone

Tsundere are not always little in size. For example Louise (Zero no Tsukaima) is small and DFC (Delisous Flat Chest), but Tsukiumi (Sekirei) is a real woman with big chest. So the characteristic can go with both sides.

Some Characters Examples:

Tsukiumi from Sekirei

Louise from Zero no Tsukaima

Junko Hattori from Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou

Shana from Shakugan no Shana

Fumino Serizawa from Mayoi Neko Overrun!

In what kind of Anime types:

In most of the time you can see those tsundere in romantic-comedy Animes or Mangas. They become somehow normal these years and can be found everywhere now. They are a good source for comedy and to lighten the mood. Sometimes they used to change the mood because she ran away all of the sudden, for example. Something to make the story interesting.

How do I recognize Tsundere?

They get a red face, they turn there heads the the other side and hit or shout after the person who they love. Pretty much like this scene:

Extra Note:

Seiyuu Kugimiya, Rie is one of those typical tsundere voice actor. It’s a good sign that the char that she gives her voice is a tsundere. Most of her voice actor are tsundere.

Hope you liked this 2nd GREW Explains. Hope the next will not take so long like this here.

This picture is maybe full of energy, but last week I was not.

My week was with full of tired, sleepy, eye hurt and too less sleep.
Yep, somehow the last week was kinda shit. Sorry for the language but I was at my limit. Monday I was okay. But the next day was crap. Too less sleep, the eyes don’t want to open all day long. Even after a 2 1/2 h long nap I was like shit.

This stuff you can repeat until Friday. Friday was the only day in the week I was feeling good. And you know what? I didn’t cared about the test at this day. Thank God I did not learned that much because it was for nothing anyway.

Why? Well, the subject is shit heavy and the teacher things we are all pro in that subject. We ALL failed hard. I can’t wait to see the result. I hate this subject and this teacher already. Damn.

But at least I could watch our loose in the Fifa Worldcup at home. Germany had so many bad luck at one day. I hope / pray we win the next match.

There is good news too:
Beside I’m feeling good again now (after the tests and know you have only one week left for this school year), I got my Sakuya Nendo (pictures coming soon). Kinda sweet little Nendo with knifes! Maybe someday I will get a normal size version of her. But first I need to save for the upcoming goodies. Which are not cheap. ^^;

That’s shall all for now. Sorry for disappointing you for not a “GREW Explains … ” post. I was really tired and needed a break of that week.

Hope I and you have a great week.

P.S.:

Track of the week:

Yeah, I’m still alive.

Don’t worry I wasn’t ill or even busy. It was just… I don’t have any idea anymore what I should write right. Those were my thoughts for the last weeks. And seems that I have still the problem. Let’s give it a try.

Summer has finally started here in Germany. After the cold spring we can enjoy hot weather. And what’s the best – you have to work. But I didn’t know that it would get to damn hot in the centrals where we sometimes working too. Easily 10°C or even more. The best is: No AC at all. If the hardware works they don’t care about the people who have to work there.

But last week was kinda easy going at work. Since my technician took one week vacation, I was at the office. Doing nothing. Chatting with my Laptop, learning for school, listening to music or even play some Guild Wars. But unfortunately I had to clean those centrals 3 times. That means to look after unused cable in the mess of the cables. And it was a hell of a work since the last time someone really cleaned it was 4 years ago. They just wanted to give us something to work. But we couldn’t pull out every cable there.

Now I can take a breath from work. Next week I have school again. 3 tests are coming up. And the 3rd one is shit. Because… no one really understands it. Well, let’s pray I won’t fall too hard.

Any other news? Well, yes there is. I got three figures until now.

C.C. and Kallen

figma Marisa

I didn’t thought that I would get Marisa in the beginning of this month. But C.C. and Kallen were really surprise.I didn’t thought that Archonia will have them since they are Prize figures and actually only for Japan. Now I’m owning 2 of them. Maybe I will get by next month my 4th C.C. My wallet didn’t liked that idea, but who cares.

Next week I may get my little Maid Nendo. Can’t wait to have her.

Well, that’s shall all for now. Hope I can have soon some ideas. Maybe a continue of GREW explains?

Anyway, bye-bee

Ranka Lee is nothing!
