Well. It’s that time of the year.

The end of 2009 is almost drawing to a close and a new year is just around the corner. Gosh it’s amazing to know how quick the whole year has gotten by. Many things to cast plenty of reflection on what things should or should not happened this year such as do many people lose jobs due to redundancies, businesses taking several cost-cutting measures to save businesses, and more and more people facing lines of unemployment, hoping to find work so they can get back up on their feet again.

Just like myself. I too heard the words of redundancy crept up in my ear as soon as I found out my services were no longer required by my company and they could not keep me anymore…

It was an unfortunate fact I’m part of that statistics.

It was difficult….

The year 2009 was certainly the most difficult year to date for many businesses and ordinary people like you and me.  And there are many times where I find blogging can be struggle when you have distractions like these.

But despite what happened, I convinced myself that I will get through just like everybody who went through as well. Everyone’s gotta move on and learn that this ‘experience’ will make them stronger along the way. With my current work as a contractor (which I found less than 3 months ago after I was made redundant), it’s allowed me to look at so many broad options how I want to lead my life forward along with my work on my anime blog.

So let’s forget all the toils and troubles everyone’s gotten through this year and focus on bringing new hopes and dreams of the new year.

I know I certainly do! For there will be exciting goals and dreams to look forward to attaining, everybody’s gotta keep their chins held up high.

So with that, I’d say it’s easy to admit this year hasn’t been easy for anyone whether you’re student studying for job you’ve always wanted but couldn’t get it or you’re worker recently been left out of work for a while due to companies’ restructure etc, etc. We all need our friends and families more than ever to keep them by your side.

They’re the ones who will always help you when you need them. To pick up your feet and move forward. Moving forward to a bright future.  Onwards to more great anime blogging.

And what better way to do this is celebrate yourself a great Christmas with your family and friends.

With that, I wish everyone Merry Christmas and have a safe holiday!!

Merry Christmas Everyone! See you all next year in 2010!

Oh, wow! Couldn’t believe it has been exactly one whole month since I made my last post in August (ie 5th August).

And today’s 5th September and I’m back, ready to resume writing my exciting post on super robot series from the past, present and future.

Time’s sure went incredibly fast when you’re having so much fun during the holidays.  Especially the best parts of the fun like sleigh riding on Swiss Alps mountain and 1 hour gondola rides in Venice. (which you’d wish you could do it all over again! Just for the sake of not going back to work soon!)

But like all things, sadly.  All good things must come to an end.

Right…

Until you decide to find out how to start up new good ones to replace the old good ones.   Which is what I’m pretty excited to get in touch with this community once again, to bring about where the best exciting developments of mecha anime are heading at the moment.

It’ll take me a while to get back into routine.  I just returned less than two days ago, and the flight wasn’t very forgiving as I thought it would be  when coming home on the way back.  I had quite a few stomach upsets (and still do) and my sleeplessness patterns threw me into a state of nauseaness and disorientation.  That certainly sends my work productivity into a complete limbo and a sick leave was an inevitably but wise choice for me to pick.   And I’m sure I don’t want my posts written in the current state I’m in (still feeling very heavy and disjointed).  I reckon it’ll take me less than 48 hours before I will fully regain my proper consciousness and get ready to blog post some more…

I shall respond to those lovely people who commented on my posts during my 30 day absence via email.

Stay tuned.

Hi good people,

Just dropping to say ‘Hello’ and I’m just letting you know that I’m planning to go on a holiday trip to Europe/UK for about a month.

A month!!  Wow! And you’re thinking that’s a long stretch.  What’s up with that?

Well…

Basically. I’ve been planning to have this trip for a long while but I never figure when’s the best time to do this.  I’ve working in an IT profession for a very long while and I thought this would be great opportunity for me to start travelling. On my own!   I figured August is the best time because over there, the summer is still going on and I’m planning to get away from all this winter blues I’ve had for the past couple of months.  So I’ve been pretty busy with making arrangements with my travels arrangements, bookings, travel accessories, travel docs etc… Hence my blogging hasn’t been that much frequent for the past few days since the start of August.

But nevertheless, I keep you posted during my travels, if permits.  The tour company I’m with,  stop at certain places or accomodation (where I have my night stays) that may or may not have computer facilities so it will be fairly difficult for me to gain any computer access for blogging, let alone a hotel that has no internet connection. :-/

Nevertheless, I’ll do my best when I arrive there, so feel free to send me any emails if you have any queries about regarding my wonderful world of mecha blog, during my travels.  I will endeavour to answer them as soon and as  much as I can.

In meantime,  here are the places I’ll be visiting when I get there, just in case for those of you that are travel-curious.

London

Paris

Amsterdam

Germany

Vatican City

Rome

Who knows? I might run into mecha fans over there, if I’m lucky to find any over there. Maybe in Italy or Spain(though I won’t be heading to Spain, sadly :(). Till then, catch you all soon!
