Thanks! It was definitely fun and a unique way to celebrate. On a related note, went back to Akihabara last weekend for the Akiba Festival and saw a Matome Mayonaka cosplayer, so I took a photo:
...

Haha, if only that were true. If that were true though I'd feel very sorry for the maids.

So I "settled" on the maid café, since I didn't want to celebrate my existence at Tokyo Burlesque, though we'd probably go there sometime in the near future, hehe. But MaiDreamin was awesome, and if...

That's a pretty good description. The only people I've known that don't like Akihabara are the boring ones.

Coincidentally at this time my friends are debating whether to take me to a maid café...

On my bi-weekly visit to Akihabara (Akiba Trip, if you will), I saw this:
...

Don't doubt the scientist! hehe

Every time I watch I find myself laughing at even the not so obvious stuff, just because I know the types that prowl Akiba (including my own type).

You can find it on youtube. Akiba's Trip is awesome, it seems every episode they pick on a particular species of "otaku".

Also, in the days leading up to the start of the series, I saw these in...

Anyone else watching Akiba's Trip? It's very lighthearted and fun, with some personal meaning for me since I go to the setting location (Akihabara) about once every two weeks.

Got into local baseball here in Japan (thanks, girlfriend) and started playing Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2016.

Go go Swallows!

May as well get this going again, as I'm now in the photographic utopia that is the Tokyo area of Japan... these ladies are known as the Evangelion Race Queens.

Taken in July 2015, at Ashigara,...

English and Filipino (Tagalog) are the ones I can survive on. I dabble weakly in Japanese, Korean, and Arabic.

I don't want to summer any more either, but only after I get to do some summer things... perhaps a water park, beach trip, or something similar would tide me over til fall, hehe

Recently got into Japan baseball... because of my "girlfriend" believe it or not. We're now both fans of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.

Here's our typical game day routine... warming up at the...

Pulling for the Sharks and the Penguins in their respective conference finals.

San Jose looked very good in their possibly series-turning game 2.

For me it was Spider Man in the 80s... then I eventually branched out to reading the X-Men and New Mutants in that decade as well.

Thanks man! It also helps to have awesome friends to do these things with, haha

Thanks!!! It was really heavy and the armor had to be put on me/us by three women... which made me imagine if real samurai were dressed up in a similar method back in the day, hehehe

And this time, in kimonos... around Asakusa, Tokyo
...

Some of the more interesting pics recently, donning samurai armor:

It's been a while... after a move to Japan last year and work and other stuff life's been busy and interesting.

Don't know how long I'll stick around this time but we'll see...

I'm not much of a boxing fan or follower, but as a Filipino, I'm rooting for my countryman, Manny, to win. I don't know enough about boxing in general, though, to say who's actually going to win.

Happy birthday Bert!

Mike Tyson's perspective on things was fairly simple. He was happy he got some good punches in when the fighting was at its most intense, and even more happy that he or anyone else here didn't...

"What?!" Mike Tyson yelled out as fireballs were being tossed. He dove into the snow to avoid them. "I'm laying down like Bruce Seldon! Or Michael Spinks! Someone else is gonna haf ta be the...

"You're going down!" Mike Tyson went into Heavyweight Title fight mode, unleashing a flurry of body blows and uppercuts while Waluigi was distracted by the noise.
