Smile~!

Something I found in an email today. ^_^ The little kitty really does make you smile… I decided to add a caption as Muffled Noise suggested. I wonder if people in Sanriotown can read |337?

Just in case, |337 is a sort of Internet slang that uses numbers to take the place of letters that resemble them and/or change words like “for” into the number “4″.

The caption on the photo actually says “Smile for Me!!!”. *^_^* And she really does make you smile don’t you think?

I decided to have a look around Sanriotown… Interesting little picture I found from Virtual Rain’s post

I’ll have to agree with her… This is making me wonder where the little dog’s paws are… I’m sure they’re there, but still… This angle makes this puppy look like a Ball of Fuzz 

Lovely photograph though. *^_^* Makes you feel all nice and warm inside…

The other day, I went to visit our other house(?) Well, I wouldn’t really call it a real house, but more like… I don’t know, a rest house?

But at any rate… We have a care taker there, and some of our dogs were transferred there because we already have too many in our house. My favorite dog who goes by the name “Lucky” was one of the dogs that got transferred because she has a tendency of getting a bit too frisky. My sister-in-law has always been afraid of dogs, so I had no choice…

At least when I came to visit her, she still knows who I am… ^_^

She likes jumping on people… ^_^ And does almost anything to get your attention. But she’s never bitten anyone… I’m not sure what kind of dog she is, but she looks like a Japanese Spitz to me…

I miss her already…

Finally!

For almost a year now, I’ve been wanting to buy a certain Saber PVC from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. It’s a 1/8 scale of Saber in a Black Dress, sculpted by the well-renowned Kawahara Takayuki.

I had my chance when a few of my officemates were sent to Hong Kong on business, but firmly declined the offer when I found out it was HK$325 (so that’s about US$45?). I was expecting it to be a lot less, since it was Hong Kong after all, and since I was broke… I had to let her go…

The other day, I went about a little hobby shop, browsing for a few Pokemons for my nephew, where lo and behold…

a Dark Saber stared at me from the little dark corner. Even if she was dusty, I picked her up and has a look…

The price tag read: US$30.

I immediately asked the shop-owner if this was original, and not a recast. She said it was original, one of her son’s figures that he never opened. Being skeptical, I went home and pondered… checking out the sites for information to check if there had been any grade A piracy going on.

After being thoroughly convinced that it was original, I went back to the shop. Fresh from work (and being given my salary), I asked if the shop owner would give me a discount…

And she did…

I am now the proud owner of Saber Black Dress Version, and I only bought her for $28… *^_^* Oh happy, happy!

Ataraxia

saber12

I’ve created a 2nd blog in called saber-site04 Ataraxia, A Walk Through the Companions of the Female King. That blog will be featuring all of my posts about dogs, puppies, and possibly even other pets in the future.

I placed Ataraxia in Sanriotown because I wanted to have a layout with a larger width space to show the pictures better… At the same time, I’ve grown accustomed to narrow layout in mail.com

Because of such dilemma, I thought having 2 blogs would be the best solution. ^_^

Feel free to send in your pictures of your cute pets to be featured in Ataraxia and Excalibur… I look forward to seeing them all very soon.
