Hainrihi's Discoveries: figures

Wow, time flies fast and it’s the end of October already. It’s now November and pretty soon, we will be busy with Christmas, which is just more than a month away. With November here, I’d like to start it by showing some of the few hauls I got for the month of October (with Cosplay Mania 2013 as the main cosplay event). I know it is late, but I just want to write about it and show the things I really collect hehe.

Well, for the month of October, I only had two hauls---with the ones from Cosplay Mania as the biggest one.

Cosplay Mania 2013 Hauls

Top picture (L-R 1st row): Poring stuff toy, Rilakkuma stuff toy, Korilakkuma stufftoy

(L-R 2nd row): Bandai D-Arts - MegaMan X, Wave Beach Queens Fate/Stay Night Saber Lily, Nendroid Petit Saber Pajama, Shingeki no Kyojin Hanji Zoe Pin, Cosplay Snapshots Project Photobook 4, Fullmetal Alchemist Manga Volume 13

Second Picture (L-R 1st row): Ling Yao and Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) Keybies from Keybie Cafe

(L-R 2nd row): Evangelion Voice Dice Keychains, Reika Poster Cards

The picture above is a combination of both Marc and I’s hauls. Most of the ones here were bought from the various stores in Cosplay Mania, while some of them were ordered prior to the event---thanks to Onegai Oniichan. I already took a look at some of my hauls here, but I haven’t opened Saber Lily yet because I still don’t have time with the many things to do. In fact, I still have a lot of figures I haven’t opened yet! Hopefully, by this November I can do that and photoshoot them one by one. XD

-----------------------------

For the second haul of October, I only got a few than Cosmania, but it was because I ordered them prior to getting last October 19 in Megamall. This time, all came from Onegai Oniichan.

October 19, Sunday, Hauls

(L-R 1st row): Fullmetal Alchemist Artbooks Volumes 1 and 2 (gifts for a friend)

(L-R 2nd row): Fate/Zero Illyasviel Rubber Strap Banpresto Ichiban Kuji, Ichiban Kuji Berserker Chibi, NARUTO Shippuden Petit Chara Land Jiraiya, Kotobukiya Fate/Zero Rubber Strap Collection Irisviel von Einzbern

Also, to be honest, I haven’t taken them off from their boxes or plastic because I don’t want them to get dirty. I plan to display them once we have a display cabinet in our room so they won’t attract dust and will be clean. After all, they are part of my Fate/Zero collection.

----------------------

So yeah, these are my two hauls for the month of October. This will probably give you an idea what things we buy and collect in cosplay and anime events.

And this is also one of the reasons why we are looking forward to every major cosplay and anime events---because we see and buy new hauls that we can add to our collection. :D

I’m Back! :D

5:52 AM

After 6 months of hiatus from blogging (man, that was long), I am finally back and ready to relaunch my new blog!

My blog's new look :)

As you noticed, I changed the look of my blog, but not only that. See, in those 6 months, I “studied” a bit on blogging and how I can make Hainrihi’s Discoveries better and more informative instead of just being more personal and looking like a diary. I realized it needs to have a niche to not leave my readers and myself confused. Having a niche will also help me write blog posts and articles better and know what to write exactly. After a long time thinking and fixing, I decided to write about the things I love most: cosplay, anime/manga, figure collecting, beauty/makeup and shopping.

Of course, the theme of Hainrihi’s Discoveries is still discovery and I believe I will still discover things through the categories mentioned above. For instance, in my two years of cosplaying, I discovered and learned things I have never learned before and I want to blog about those. All mentioned are inter-connected with each other so, for sure, I won’t sidetrack from what I should really concentrate on. Maybe my other readers will disappear once they find out what my niche is because it is not much of their interest, but I don’t mind. As long as I write informative posts on what I really love, I’m good. With that, I am excited to write more posts and articles on them and I already have a list of the entries I want to blog.

Cosplay

Figure Collecting

Anime/Manga

Online Shopping/Shopping

Beauty/Makeup

But aside from Hainrihi’s Discoveries, I realized I also have another love and that is writing my thoughts and opinions on anything that comes to mind. In other words, more on the serious and in-depth writing where I can truly practice my writing skills. At the same time, it will help me write my opinion on issues and events. So, I created a separate blog for that entitled Hainrihi’s Thoughts (I could never leave out the “Hainrihi”, I’m sorry XD)

http://hainrihisthoughts.wordpress.com

I placed more about it and and will write an introduction in the main blog itself, but be sure to check it out. It will be introduced later this week, so watch out for it. I will place some articles I have written before in print publications and will improve them to make it look and sound better.

Also, I changed my comment software to Intense Debate. Disqus suddenly didn’t work in this layout despite trying to get it back, and so all the comments before have disappeared L. I think I still have a record of those in my Disqus account. After much research and great reviews, I went with Intense Debate. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience and the sudden change.
