BOKEH ALL THE THINGS [PHOTO] [IMG HEAVY]

Yes. Bokeh. That wonderful word that describes the blurry background your lens creates when focusing on the foreground. So I recently [read: Monday] got some filter zoom lens for my camera. I was curious about these through stumbling across other doll related stuff. Someone else mentioned using them and I checked them out. Being pleased with what I saw, I skipped over the ebay and got myself a set for 4 for little over $10. Free shipping. Happy days! So I have a few random shots I took in my room and hopefully I get to test them outside soon~

NebrasKon [ALL THE THINGS]

I know I haven't posted the pictures I promised but I want to get this out of the way before I forget and then never post about it ever. I had a lot of fun at Nebraskon. I was surprised that I knew a lot more cosplays than I ever thought I would. Honestly, Anime and Manga aren't my focus when it comes to Asian stuffs. That being said, my Manga/Manhwa collection isn't something to be sniffed at - I guess I'm just not as serious about it as some people are.

Still, it just an amazing experience and I'm grateful to Alex and Nick for taking me along. I am considering going to another one when I go home and perhaps also to one in Texas if Merry feels up to it. Anyways, I was really shy when it came to taking pictures. I pretty much took pictures at the first event we went to which was the chess game. It was hard since people were moving a lot and I thought my camera was on a different setting for that - it wasn't. Lots of blurry pictures. Also at first I felt a little odd. All these people were dressed up and I was bopping around in 'civilian' clothing (to make me sound a lot more cooler than I was). Eventually I gave up on the whole pictures thing and just stuck to carrying Ash around. Which made sure I bumped into BJD people!

1. Look at that face! 2. Thanks camera for focusing on the background...

It's been a while... [KPOP]

It's been far too long since my last update. I'd like to pretend that for once, yes I was being lazy but nope! I've been so busy with school work and trying to get on top of things here in Nebraska. I've been very social and not really taking time to be extremely active online. If you have me added on facebook you'll get snippets and updates on what has been going on there. If not, I'll try and take the time to update something here but for now I want to talk about music. In particular ...2? No... 4? CDs I have. Truthfully, three are the same CD (thanks for that SM Ent) of SHINee's Japanese release of LUCIFER (all three editions). I've already done a slapdash box opening for youtube but I wanted to take some nice pictures and update my blog for you lovely people. Also, GoEun's mother was kind enough to purchase and send to her Kara's 2nd album STEP (Special edition no less!), so I've taken a few pictures of it as well. I wanted to test out my macro zoom lens some, since I have it, and so there are a few pictures taken with it.

DVDs & Manga & Manhwa, oh my! [DVD/MG/MH]

I didn't want to write Manga and Manhwa in the title so MG represents Japanese comics and MH represents Korean comics. I don't want to clutter my titles but I want people to know what the post is about... and it's pretty self explanatory right now haha. In the future, I'll use MH and MG also.

So instead of splitting it into a million tiny posts, I thought I would talk about all of this in one post. As well as being a Jpop/Kpop fangirl and collecting BJDs - two other passions I have are for manga/manhwa and films. Mostly I would watch foreign films, so... pretty much everything I have to show here is World Cinema or Anime (Studio Ghibli). I'm so close to completely my Studio Ghibli collection. I have the core DVDs from the recognised Studio Ghibli collection. There are plenty more associated films out there that I'd love to have as well. Unfortunately, since my brother has taken my Xbox I haven't had a chance to watch many... well, what are Macs for, eh?
