Canada, Ottawa – Fall ’09 Image flood

Thats right, Canada Ottawa. I’m going to seperate my Figmas from my Ottawa scenery images as I noticed my Figma “first glance reviews” tend to be reviewed within an odd and incomplete manner. I may review them again in a proper manner this time around while linking back to the old ones.

I also noticed many comments, from here and on my MSN, saying how much people enjoy seeing Ottawa scenery. If you guys seem to like it that much I’ll post more of it for you guys to drool on. The below images are from beginning of September till today’s date on the article (Sunday, October 11, 2009), hope you enjoy it like you said you did ^_^.

This article is image heavy (49) – Enter at your own risk:

Figma Halloween Lindt antics

Today I was given a nice tasty treat that was decorated a tad bit too early. How many of you tried or like Lindt chocolate? I find it to be one of the tastiest chocolate out there, along with the Pockie almonds. Also are your stores packed with early Halloween goodies, even as far back as late August? Mine has been stocked with early Halloween stuff as early as the end of August.  The Weather even felt like it at one point.

A word of warning: If you are afraid of spiders or have some kind of fears then please look away. I have two images dealing with some medium sized spiders and don’t want to cause someone to shiver. Don’t want someone blaming me behind my pack :p.

Art Spider – Maman

The internet is amusingly hilarious. Why? When you search for something in a quick manner you never find what you need. However, when you casually surf the net you have a 80% chance of finding things you normally would not.  Stick around as I’m also going to link you to other sites containing my content near the end as well.

Rain, rain, SUN! Shana!

Hello again, time to dust this off again and dry up any wet spots after the constant downpour in my area. I decided to get a bike again and see what I could snap images of this time around.

Not much happened except for me obtaining two wall scrolls, playing games, and sitting out the rain a few times. Still have yet to do a photoshoot for my two new figmas that I obtained a few weeks back. The constant rain killed my interest in anything figure related.

Below image is of the Ottawa River from the bike path inbetween Britannia Beach and Andrew Haydon park. For a river it looks more like a lake the more I seem to eye it.

Canada Day + Japan Emperor visits Canada

Hello again, thought I’d update this again. Tardy, I know, but I was playing infamous and welcoming a guest from Europe.

So todays topic is Canada Day and the Emperor of Japan visiting Canada, especially Ottawa. First up, Canada Day! For those looking for Figma images there will be none in this one. Was too busy biking around with a friend, lol.

Above image shows that Canada day could of been rainy but instead decided to go in everybody’s favor. You can still see the darkness of the clouds over the War Museum in Ottawa.

Ottawa Goes for Sushi?

On my way to Best buy me and someone else noticed a Sushi shop where another restaurant used to be. How many of you within Ottawa go for sushi, or similar? I remember making regular visits to Chinese restaurants and buffets. The first Japanese Sushi I officially noticed (since I wasn’t a Japanese influenced person in the past) within the city was the one within the downtown Ottawa region. A similar one to that is closer to my neighborhood and adds another 5-10 minutes to my 20 minute bike ride to the Anime shop.

Guess the Sushi.

Figma Haruhi – Summer version

Crap, I’m slacking. Well, I got another Figma and this time its the Summer Haruhi version. From the looks of it I shall be taking this Haruhi around a lot. Being a summer type Figma, I also attempted to try out a new way of photo shooting my figures for a “review” (being more of an overview then a review – Saber Lily being the review).

And yes, $44 Canadian dollars…..I’m staring at one of my Figma boxes that says $39.99 CAD. Recession, it sucks either way; real or fake. Also forgot to mention I acquired my first Fate/Stay Night manga, woo! Now I just got to get around to reading it. If you haven’t guessed yet Fate/Stay night is one of my favorite Anime series and what got me into being an Anime view/watcher/otaku (whatever you want to call it).

Ottawa – Spring Time#4 w/figma Rin (Vocaloid)

Another great day meaning another great time to take pictures of the local wildlife, as with figmas. This time I decided to bring Figma Rin to see what kind of images I could end up taking by bringing her along.

Well, I missed out on the Ottawa Tulip festival since I forgot when it was going to take place with me currently cursing that I have missed it. So much for looking at the Japanese tent this year :(. Ah well, there is always next year and more events to go to, right?

Before I go on about it, I thought I’d point out some kick ass Pockies that I found interesting again. The Almond type biscuit sticks that I found yesterday in the local Asian store on the other side of Ottawa. Also a teaser image to the next Figma I got that I will eventually do a photoshoot of, Figma #024 if your curious.

A review of the next Figma will come soon 🙂

Excuse the lack of a better post title, heh.

Another beautiful day means another set of great images from the vast open great white green northern nation of Canada. Each week passes meaning a better and greener scenery around the city as well as the nation, woo! This time I brought Haruhi around for the bike ride but wasn’t too sure were to take images so excuse the lack of Figma images.

Ottawa – Spring time#2

I see I haven’t blogged in awhile. Lets create a new entry then with my bike ride along the Ottawa river, with my new bike.  Sadly I didn’t bring any Anime figures this time around since I just wanted to get used to my new bike and finally check out the Spring scenery around. Though since this is a gaming and anime oriented blog for Ottawa, I’ll get some in the next article.

Lets start off with some ducks, shall we?

Ottawa – April 16, 2009

Sorry, no Anime on this one until I can get a new bike, or tune my old bike (*hears a cheer from the non-Japanese minded lurkers*).  I’m still waiting for the spring bloom before I also try to Figure photoshoot as to make the images look nicer,  but the plants are lagging behind for some odd reason. I see the animals are coming back, the grass is going green, and the insects coming out gradually.

I haven’t yet shown the Ottawa River rapids have I? Here is one of them that I tried taking pictures of. Its just cool to look at, and theres a cooler one closer to downtown that I’ll take a picture of later.

(Note: I didn’t shrink the full sized images so they’re going to appear large when to full screen them.)
