Welcome back Mahoro. I can't believe I blogged about this show around 6 years ago (in a different blog no less)Looking through that old blog, I found a picture that still LOOKS AWESOME.

Picked this one up being clearanced at Frys. Definitely an otaku centric title with tons of silly innuendo and fanservice. The overworld is pretty lame, but the battle sprites are excellent and the battle system is a lot of fun. I get a kick out of Suzuka-hime's fan dance attacks and that crazy zipper dress of Xiaomu. And thank you for keeping the Japanese voices. If Super Robot Taisen

From somewhere near Mission Peak and Monument Peak.

On Saturday, Doug and I biked Garin/Dry Creek. From his house, we went up Mission Blvd to south Hayward. We entered Dry Creek at the May Road staging area and rode up Ridge Loop Trail. It turns out that all of the creeks in Garin/Dry Creek were full of water. We planned on crossing into the passageways around Jordan Pond, but we were block by running water over the trail. In any case, we

Finally ocf is back up. Here are a couple of pics of a hike I went on with my sister and my cousin like a month ago.We planned on going to Monument Peak, but ran out of time, and stopped at the bear tree.

What kind of crappy camera uses an xD card? Anyway, here is a pic of Horseshoe Lake with Mission Peak in the background.The land to the left is the "Rare Fruit Tree Grove" with a bunch of young dying fruit trees on it.

I went back up Mission Peak with my bike and I actually went over to Monument Peak also and took some pics.Here I was trying to get a pic of my cousins house, but the camera focused on the near rocks instead. You can see the golf course and the rock quarry pretty easily, along with a large portion of the valley.A pic of Monument Peak, from another local peak. There are actually tons of large

So I reached the goal I set out to due in April of this year: to do my age in pull ups.

On Saturday, I finally took my bike up to Mission Peak. The way up is exceptionally brutal, and I had to walk my bike up about half the time. Near the peak, I split off on to the Eagle Trail to head to the "backside" of Mission Peak. It is one thing to look at Mission Peak in the background of my backyard every morning to check the smog/fog level for the day, and another thing to see it from

Went biking on Saturday. I decided to ride the Alameda Creek Trail all the way to the end. It was really nice, up until I passed Coyote Hills after lunch and the wind really started to pick up. The end of the trail was a little bit more than 2/3's of the way from the Dumbarton to the San Mateo bridge. Looking back at Coyote Hills, the water looks extremely shallow, no more than 2-3 feet deep

so I biked to work today. Woke up at 7am, left for work at 7:30 am. Temperature was perfect. Headed onto Mission Blvd, past 680. Turned on to Warms Springs Blvd and then on to Dixon Landing. Got on Coyote Creek Trail until 237. Went over 237 and back on Coyote Creek Trail. Turned onto Montague Expressway and then to Zanker. Reached work at 9am. Total travel time: 1.5 hours. Distance

Since I have never been there, yesterday I went biking up to Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area. It turns out to be pretty similar to Lake Elizabeth, except for the fact that you can actually fish and swim in the main lake. Beyond the main recreational areas, the trails circling the lake aren't paved, which give it a more natural feel than the paved road around Lake Elizabeth. One of the

Went for another bike ride on Saturday since the weather was so nice. First went to the library to get the next novel in the Honor Harrington space opera series, In Enemy Hands. Then went to Wendy's to get lunch. Out of all the fast food hamburgers, they have one of the best. And their value menu is much better than others. After that, I headed towards Coyote Hills. I finally found out what

Yesterday, I went on a longer bike ride than anticipated. I've never been down near NUMMI, so I decided to head down there. Turns out that if you make a right turn after the 880 overpass, you'll end up on a really nice stretch where the road is elevated above the marshlands for about 2 miles or so before hitting the Fremont Auto Mall. Even though there are double lanes in each direction for

After the mediocrity of the Aria the Animation and Aria the Natural tv series, its amazing how GOOD Aria the Origination is. Aria the Origination has drastically improved animation quality and it feels much closer to the original manga. Episode 9 was particularly good because they perfectly animated one of the most treasured moments when Alice became a full Prima (unlike how they animated

Wow, I never actually expected a Diablo 2 type game to actually show up on the DS, but it came and it is called Soma Bringer. Of course, being on the DS, it isn't as deep as Diablo 2, but it has it all. The item drops (reduced), the rarity, the item mods, the skill system, the battle interface, the 3rd person view, the resists, attack and movement speed, and just plain hack away. In more
