1/100 MG Wing Gundam ProtoZero overview

Gundam News: MG Wing Gundam Proto Zero, RG Strike Freedom, and MG Gundam X

Hello there,
This week does not bring much news, rather I'm doing a recap of past announced Gunpla. Here we go:
MG 1/100 Wing Gundam Proto Zero EW - has finally been released, in Japan! I am very exited about this model and can't wait to build it! I will do an overview once I finish it. In the meantime check out Hacchaka's review of this model.
Review by Hacchaka: http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2013/10/mg-1100-wing-gundam-proto-zero-ew_4401.html

RG 1/144 Strike Freedom - The new RG model is almost here. This model is scheduled for a November release. I'm not a big fan of the Strike Freedom, but I do like that they are putting a lot of detail into this small model. The inner frame for the kit will be molded in "gold." And there will also be a Full Burst effect part set to be release around the same time. This however seems to be a P-Bandai Online Hobby exclusive. Pre-order while you can if you're a fan.

MG 1/100 Gundam X - Lastly we have new images of the newest MG to be announced, the Gundam X. It's looking very good, and there is even a color image to help visualize the scheme. Also not a big fan of Gundam X, but I'm sure there will be many to enjoy it. Have I said I love the satellite cannon though? I do!

I also want to plug some info for my local Gunpla/Anime store, Image Anime located in New York. Been buying Gunpla for years at this store, and it is my number one stop for all things Gunpla. And they are open every day! Visit their website: http://www.imageanime.com/. They do online orders too.

Let me know what you are looking forward too in the next couple of months with Gunpla. I just cannot wait for the Wing Proto Zero. Are you as excited as I am for it? Let me know in the comment section below. As always, let's talk Gunpla!

Xperia Z Ultra: All You Need To Know

 

I was thinking about possibly getting an Xperia Z Ultra when it first came out. The idea was great, but I wasn't sure if it was a good match for me. In the end I did get the Xperia SP, which is the perfect phone for me (at the moment). I found this review done by Erica Griffin and I found it very detailed and extremely helpful. Definitly a quality review. Please watch her other reviews at: Erica Griffin, the technology nerds that likes to film stuff.

Enjoy the review.

Xperia SP : SuPerior

 

First Impressions: I finally was able to buy this Android phone (after countless delays and unavailability) from Sony. The C5306 model is a GSM phone, which means it will work on AT&T and T-Mobile's networks. You will be able to get LTE and HSPA+ speeds depending on your carrier and location. The phone displays a 4.6 inches 720HD screen. It almost fits well in my hand; I can hold it well, but sometimes I can't get my thumb fully across the screen, or my palm rest on the edge of the screen and touches the screen). Other than that this phone is excellent. The UI (User Interface) is great and easy to navigate. One of its biggest features is it Stamina Mode, which doubles the battery life by shutting down the apps while in sleep mode. Also a new feature is the what I call the "Sony Suite," 4 Sony branded apps that bring media enjoyment to a new level (Walkman, Movies, Album, Sony Select). Google powers the browser, maps, and the store app (the Play Store). And Google Now works as a "Siri" assistant, but with much more reliability. Overall, this phone is a must buy if you are in the market for a Mid-Range phone.

 

Get it now through Sony: www.store.sony.com

AIDS Walk 2013-in just 3 weeks

Hello friends,

I hope this email finds you well and you are enjoying the nice weather we've been having lately. I wanted to let you know that the AIDS Walk 2013 is only 3 weeks away. In 3 weeks I will be walking along with thousands of people to reach one goal: To find a cure for HIV/AIDS by raising funds and awareness in the community. By raising funds we'll be providing researches and doctors the necessary means to study and produce new therapies, and eventually cures to these diseases. And by walking you'll be making a statement that this is not an issue that only affects the gay community, this is an issue that affects the whole community, and that by coming together we can achieve anything.
Last year my team, Ab Fab for a Cure, raised over $900. Help us and my teammates reach our goal by becoming a donor towards the mission. Or if you have time, come join us on May 19th at Central Park to walk together towards our goal.

To donate please visit my fundraising page, and click on the "Give Now" Button: http://awny2013.kintera.org/jorgellanos

To join the team please visit the team's page, and click on "Join Our Team" button: http://awny2013.kintera.org/abfabforacure
You can also support the team by making a donation on the team page.

Or, if you know of anyone who would be interested in participating please forward this email, and let them know about the team. Spread the word and get the message out there.
I hope you can support me and the team in any way you can. Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,

Hello there,

Jorgie here reaching out to you to join me in reaching an extraordinary goal: a world without HIV/AIDS. You may have seen over the past few months articles and news about a functional "cure" to HIV. These stories are developing, but they are true. We are closer than ever to finding the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to this terrible disease. Please take a few minutes to read the following articles to understand these milestones:

ABC News: 14 HIV Patients Have 'Functional Cure'

MSNBC News: A baby now free of HIV has doctors talking about 'cure'

 I have been a part of the AIDS Walk for the past 5 years exactly for this reason: to find a cure and eradicate HIV/AIDS, by raising money to fund research, and to provide services for the people that are afflicted by this disease. Won't you join me in this endeavor? Join me by becoming a member of my team, Ab Fab for a Cure, and raise funds along with me; or by helping me reach my goal by making a donation to my fundraising page.

Design rant

 

An overview of the new YouTube "One Channel" Design, and a quick rant about layout designs.

I tend to fixate on small things sometimes, just ask my exes...

New Artwork Cover

This is the my new artwork design for Google +. As Google is changing the designs layout for their services (Google +, YouTube), I decided to get into an artistic kick and make something. I have to admit that I am very please with this mosaic, it pretty much represents aspects of my life: I love to eat and drink, read, love my hair (long and short), I'm a geek, I'm sensual, and I love the city (NYC).

I may change the cover on this blog to this one eventually, but I have to play with the size as Blogger has different parameters for covers. We'll see how it goes.

My weekend: Drinks Galore - YouTube

 

My weekend was awesome! Lots of drinks and lots of truths, lol. But above all else a lot of fun:

-Party at the Ritz
-Brunch, the honesty talk
-Happy hour

Remember to turn the annotations button on for further, witty, commentary ;)

My Fire Emblem Awakening issue

 

My rant about Fire Emblem Awakening. So for some reason, there are no physical copies around, anywhere. You can only get this game at the moment through a digital copy. Is this a Nintendo made scarcity? When you think about it, Nintendo makes more money on Digital copies as they are no costs for cartridge productions, packaging, manual printing, etc. Although I see digital copies as the future trend for all video games, I don't agree with not having options. Specially when Nintendo is so stringy with the memory storage space on their systems. Now I love Nintendo and I am a big fan (please take my money), but give me better options to either purchase my games, or to store my games. For now, I am on the continuing hunt for a physical copy of this game. Wish me luck!

 

 

Haircut day part 1

 

So I'm finally getting my haircut on this day. I only get my haircut about 2, 3 times a year so I decided to document this event. Enjoy!

MG Tallgeese

 

I finally got the new Tallgeese 1/100 scale. I started in the Dover Gun, Shield, and Beam Sabers. I'll work on the body next.

Early spring? The groundhog says...

Early spring? The groundhog says... (read more about this article on NBC News)

Groundhog says yes! Early Spring is coming. Although I'm no weather man I could have predicted that this Winter will not last long. At least in the East coast we have had a very mild, somewhat warm, Winter. Can't complain about it. I think after Hurricane Sandy we deserve a break.

Nuclear

Destiny's Child is returning to the spotlight the their new single Nuclear. The single will be released on January 29th. Will they make a full comeback, or temporary appearance? Either way, new Destiny's Child songs are always good. Can't wait! See the Myspace article below for a preview of this new song.

Great news on HIV research

"A team of Spanish researchers say they have made an important breakthrough in HIV research, developing a new vaccine against the virus that is significantly more effective than earlier attempts. Advancing vaccine research could eventually eliminate the need for the expensive methods currently used to treat HIV-positive individuals (www.thinkprogess.com, 2013)."

Culp-Ressler, Tara. (Jan 4, 2013) "Huge Breakthrough In HIV Research Brings Us Closer To A Vaccine." Retrieved January 7, 2013 from www.thinkprogress.org: http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/01/04/1398631/hiv-vaccine-breakthrough/

This is a great step forward on the search for a cure/vaccine. Along with treatmets such as PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) and PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis), we are close to erradicating HIV. I hope we find a cure soon.
