So I Watched Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi

After reading and watching about EA's money grubbing scheme in Star Wars Battlefront 2. My interest on the Star Wars franchise got another dent. Still, I watched the next episode in the Star Wars series. I wasn't expecting much so that I won't get disappointed if it sucked.

[Toy Review] Seated Nanamo - Final Fantasy XIV Mascot Figure

I requested this little toy from my older sister in Canada months ago and now it's here! This is the Final Fantasy XIV Mascot figure of Nanamo Ul Namo and she's in sitting pose. She's a character from Final Fantasy XIV. She's the 17th sultana of Ul'dah, she's royalty. And no, she's not a kid, she's a Lalafell - a race of cute little people of Hydaelyn (FFXIV's world). To be specific she's a Dunesfolk Lalafell and she's in her 20's.

What's Inside This Tiny Cardboard Box????

We brought home a small package from my sister in Canada. I think I know what's inside this box, because I've been waiting for this for months. I'm not expecting much after receiving it but still, I'm excited to unbox this thing to see what's inside.

Oh wait, I changed the blog's entire appearance and stuff. Well that one tribute I made for this blog page.

NYCC 2017: Play Arts Kai Action Figures

[Toy Review] LUNAFREYA NOX FLEURET - Final Fantasy XV Play Arts Kai

You'll definitely going to need this Play Arts Kai action figure if you already have a Noctis PAK. That's because she is Noctis' bride-to-be in Final Fantasy XV. Lunafreya Nox Fleuret is an Oracle that can stop the plague called Starscourge and heal those who are affected by it. She has a duty to fulfill and she's not a typical damsel in distress type of character.

So We Watched Resident Evil: Vendetta

My best friend stopped by and brought a copy of Resident Evil: Vendetta to my place, so we watched it. This is the third Resident Evil CG movie. The movie stars Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers. This movie doesn't have any connection to the live-action RE movies starring Milla Jovovich.

I Tried This Spicy Korean Instant Noodles

I bought this from a Korean store because of the food's color on the picture saying that this is a spicy food. The brand is Samyang and I don't know its flavor because I can't read Korean. So I went home, cooked it and ate it.

I kinda have lots to say so this is going to be a four-part mini blog series.

Original Art: Felise Vril

Time to share another pencil artwork drawn by yours truly. I made another OC (original character) that will serve as a mascot/representative character for PETRIFIED designs. I will share first the female OC because I drew her first, that means I also made a male OC, also a mascot/representative character.
