Meiji Can Drops Candy


Look look! Look at what I got! An honest to god Meiji Can Drops Candy. If you guys have watched the anime Graves of the Fireflies one of the characters in the movie has as fruit drop. And I would not go as far to say that this is THE fruit drop but hey! It's as closed to a reminder as it is to me about the movie Graves of the Fireflies. If you have never watch this movie, watch it. Its a brilliantly made anti-war movie.

If you are not interested in the movie, you should still get one of this can drops. As the can of drops is a brilliantly made can with an abundance of choice of sweet.

First 5! Star Wars - The Force Unleashed (PSP)




Star Wars The Force Unleashed for PSP is an interesting game which hurls you straight into action while slowly showing you what you need to do. Provided you can remember the moves that were shown to you while you are slashing away at storm troopers and enemy alike.

The first 5 minute impression of Star Wars to me provide enough headaches. No, its not the gameplay, its the camera. The camera pans around and follows you automatically. The only problem is, its either too fast or its too slow. It takes a while to get used to the camera angel and when you finally did, the game flows in smoothly together.

The amount of customization for Star Wars The Force Unleashed (SWTFU) at first glance is staggering. Starting from the light saber and moving towards the costume which you need to unlock first. Then you have the amount of moves you can make, force choke, aerial shock, choke, sith strike and a lot more. Each moves can be bought, upgraded and then practised on your various enemies.

What about the storyline then? Well, I ahve only pop the first 5 minute hence I don't know how the storyline will fare but at the rate that this game is progressing, this might just prove interesting. What about the graphic? Well, it tries just too hard to look nice. But ignoring that problem of trying to look too good. I would say this is a promising looking game!

To end this article I am going to provide the lord of all cheat code for Star Wars - The Force Unleased (PSP)

"Light" Light for a Light Decor

I have this fixation about lights, the more solemn it is, or the more random it is, the more I like it. I find it relaxing to stare into this lights whenever I am stressed. And if I wanted to get into relaxing mood, I would turn off the light and then turn on my E-Revolution Motion Speaker. My favorite toy which is a good combination between Ipod, slowly dimming changing lights and a good set of soft music speaker. (Read about the Motion Speaker HERE)

Very relaxing. Which gets me thinking, do I want more of this lights? A permanently soft pulsing light to greet me every time I walk into my room? A soft presence to reassure me that its time to relax. Let go of your stress and welcome home. What spark this thought though? Well, I have this two lights at the bottom to thank for that.

USB Plasma Ball
The old standby, Plasma Ball! Many many times I have pass by one of this little baby by the light shops or lifestyle shops and wonder if this will look good on my desktop, but after much consideration and thought, I just know that I won't be utilizing this much. Doesn't mean I won't be getting this though :D

USB Disco Ball



Yes! for the old school people. This is what YOU might want. A honest to god DISCO BALL! I would definitely not get one of this. Why? Coz I have absolute hatred for dancing lights which gets in your eye. Then again those lights are a lot more bigger than this one and I doubt that a USB powered Disco Light will have enough juice to fry my eye. Hmmm..

Tokyoflash

Ah... My latest addiction. Tokyoflash Japan watch. Specialized for their unique special edition watches, designed and made by themselves, their watches are not mass marketed and you will be hard pressed to find them in any of your nearby retail stores.

Regardless, my interests lies in this particular watch. The Rogue series. and there is only one word to define this watch. KAKUEI!! COOL!!!

Retailing at 16,900 YEN, this watch cost close to USD160. Not a princely sum for something so cool. Check out the watch HERE if you are interested! They also have other interesting designed watches. When I say interesting, I mean watches that will take some time to get used to and some figuring out on how to read the time.
