• Hetalia Day 2012

  December 29, 2012

  I picked up some friends before we headed for Anthony C. Beilenson Park in Van Nuys.  Beginning in 2009, Hetalia fans made United Nations Day  Hetalia Day, but due to October 24 being a weekday in 2012, we had it on Saturday, October 20.  It sprinkled on and off, and the sun refuse...

• Anime Expo 2012

  December 29, 2012

  Anime Expo (AX) 2012 began at the end of June this year instead of July probably due to the calendar, so the 4th of July wasn't included in any of the days.  This year, they also held the X-Games in the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) area, so it was chaos. ____________________ Day 1 -&...

  December 29, 2012

  I couldn't sleep so I got up and got on the computer for awhile before putting on my Taiwan costume and heading for Little Tokyo at downtown Los Angeles.  Our group, Hetalians United,  was holding a gathering there on Saturday, September 8, 2012. We moved around quite a bit, but was mos...

• Anime, Manga, and Music to a Higher Power 2012

  December 26, 2012

  I didn't hear about Anime, Manga, and Music to a Higher Power (AM2) at the Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) in 2011 until it was too late.  What's worse was that it conflicted with Anime Expo (AX).  Fortunately, AM2 2012 took place in the middle of June instead of the end or in July. &nb...

• Anime LA 2012

  December 23, 2012

  NOTE: I know this is way overdue, but I've just haven't had time to write about it.  I had also forgotten to post it here a few months ago. After hearing and reading about Anime Los Angeles (ALA), my interest grew, but the thought of the expensive gas, parking, and admission prices was ...

• Tortion Follows Sassy

  November 26, 2012

  In September 2012, I had to take my cream and white male hamster, Tortion, in for sudden hair loss.  The vet gave him shots for mites, and his fur gradually grew back. On Sunday, November 4, 2012, I noticed the hamster with a swollen face, so I took him to the vet along with Sassy. &hel...

• Sassy’s Last Days

  November 10, 2012

  On Sunday, November 4, 2012, I noticed my cream female hamster, Sassy breathing rapidly.  Recalling the same symptom in past hamsters, I suspected pneumonia, and that is what the vet diagnosed, too.  I've been giving her antibiotics everyday as instructed, but today, I found her still a...
