General Mish-mash
Don't really have time to blog nowadays, keep getting stuck in labs in between classes and even weekend nights. But I'll still write something once in a while, when i have something interesting to share hehe..
Bandai just released the MG 1/100 Strike Freedom Gundam Model!!! It is wayyy better than the previously released 1/100 version; the new model is more accurately and aesthetically matched with the real one shown in anime. What catches my attention is that the model looks really good if I can stand it next to my MG Freedom Gundam. I really want to get my itchy fingers on one so last night i went to Hobbylink Japan and decided, quite spontaneously, that i won't mind spending $40 on the model and $20 on the shipping fee just to satisfy my craze. However, at the last moment, I let my forefinger linger on the mouse without clicking on the 'BUY IT!' button. I was hesitating. I was actually hoping that the currency exchange between USD and Yen will get better before I go ahead and buy it. (FYI, Hobbylink Japan deals its business in Yen. So currency conversions are needed when purchasing its products) My Japanese class Sensei actually told us these few days the Yen seems strong against USD. So.. I tahan a bit lo.. now i have a new hobby: fervently checking the currency exchange rate of USD vs Yen.. now USD 1 = 121 Yen.. hopefully it will grow better!!!!!
