journey Taken by nuo2x2 with Galaxy A51

2023 been the hardest year I ever experienced in my entire life… it was trying to teach me a valuable + important life lesson, where I experienced some of the most wonderful feelings, yet none of those permanent

yeah, really hard for me to accept that.. especially since im a person who valued eternal and/or forevermore type of things more than anyone else, since I try to preserve everything I ever got…

so 2023, let me level with you; thank you for the life less, yet just gonna say, imma slow learner for this one… nonetheless, I thanked you

and oh, 2024, im ready for you

Taken by nuo2x2 with Galaxy A51

“favored by the goddess”

Taken by nuo2x2 with Vivitar Mariner + Kodak Neo Vision 200

………………….. yeah… all vented out!!! feeling much, MUCH better!!! looking back a bit, seems I’ve been bitchin a lot bout my luck this summer, then again… it wasnt that all bad… at least, I still got memories with me, both bitter and sweet… and maybe, that’s all what actually matters

plus maybe… Im not really that unlucky… getting tons of help and cares from lot of Friends, feel truly happy and appreciated, maybe I have overlooked this for so long, but yeah.. got tons of awesome caring Friends, thank you guys.. and yeee it seems they send me a specific someone… who… really amazing.. really adore her… then again, the path ahead looks even more unknown and might be more uncertain and bumpy, then again.. I just need to continue my journey, while just doing my best then… so yeah.. maybe Im quite favored by the goddess after all…. thank you summer 2023…

ahem, with all those weirdness stuff out, the night getting longer around here… welp, it’s time to go back to my realms, a bit darker, a bit creepier, but this time, it is by choice… expect my Halloween content from now on… welcome, to the night

late summer station Taken by nuo2x2 with Galaxy A51

not gonna sugar-coat anything this time, other than my yearly busy summer, this year I’ve been struggling and fighting with personal+mental problem all summer… yeee, been busy alright, went several countries, multiple cities, meeting so many peoples, yet… I do have a rather heavy problem throughout this summer, something that might be a curse for me loving summer so much

intergalactic station Taken by nuo2x2 with Galaxy A51

hard to explain, but I called it a hanabi or fireworks complex.. you know hanabi or fireworks right? you waited and prepared for it excitedly, got super happy and awed during the amazing show, yet it didnt last long… and soon after, everything went quit and silent… that would totally illustrate my summer experiences this year…

getting new hope, having crazy adventures, experiencing a feeling that I havent felt for so long, and being NOT lonely for once! everything was happening so fast!!! July to August were the time when everything was so HYPED, was super excited and happy for once!!! yet… as they said, easy come, easy go… at the end of September, it seems all the happiness and good things suddenly stripped away from me… like never even happened, and im still trying to digest that fact now.. so yeah, much like hanabi huh?

from a crazy quick lay-over in Akiba, about 2 hours only,

to finally able seeing the fabled Kyoto’s Evangelion base,

to midnight exploration on ancient temple in a mountain side......

………to finding a giant Tachikoma in a sleepless night deep inside Yokohama after missing my train, lolol

aint saying not grateful or anything, those amazing things sure is a permanent memory for me, something that will be a permanent thing in my life, but it’s just… I do hope it will last.. then again, my fault to even dare hoping then, hahah… heavy… but yeah, maybe that would be a good experience for a summer lover dude like me, all happiness come only during summer, dang… heavy..

not even sure what gonna happen after summer 2023, what would the future brings me… and honestly, it’s quite scary… for once, kinda afraid… really afraid… yet for now, just trying to continue living

composure Taken by nuo2x2 with Galaxy A51

one thing for sure tho, it’s getting colder out there… autumn sure is coming… much like how I feel inside, hahah, and boi how I missed all of 2023 summer experience and personal happiness I had… if only it could last…

summer dusk Taken by nuo2x2 with Galaxy A51

ahem, if you looking for my regular toy posts and reviews, I’ll be pushing my summer content a bit longer till early October 2023, no worries! I just need to… vent all these frustrations, hahah… and yee, this blog would be the perfect place, since none of you even read my blog anyway, lol! just need a safe heaven to place this here, just for my personal reminder of this one crazy summer of 2023

Taken by nuo2x2 with Galaxy A51

first official post for 2024!!! aaaaand.. it’s a snack… ahahahah

chill!!! I’ll continue my regular toys and figure posts right after this, just need to share something a bit more.. nostalgic and personal

traditionally we take Fuji san picture on the new year, but this would be an even better thing, Alfort limited edition of the sacred mountain, given by a good friend on her busy schedule, so yeah, priceless… and of course with the best photography setting from yours trully, heheh

how did it taste? like a regular Alfort, but I could have sworn I can taste additional white chocolate flavor on this one

lurking tiger

Taken by nuo2x2 with Vivo V19

crazy how time flies these days… still remembered I made that CNY 2022 post like just couple of months ago, yet here we are..

kinda having a mix feeling here, since I’m totally happy that 2022 was the year of the tiger, and should be my year… yet… as I have mentioned several times now, 2022 was quite a roller coaster ride of emotions for me… welp time to wait for another full circle, another 12 years to finally able to meet another year of the tiger now :3

Kitabachi circa 2010 Taken by nuo2x2 with Fuji Finepix Z33 WP

hum... seems my Tumblr would be the only Socials that got lagged behind and start loosing tractions here... oh well, Im not here for the likes anyway...

but still, trying to offer a more interesting thematic post series for now, and here comes the legend of Japanese Arcade Centers!!! or what we usually called as Gesen (abbreviation of Game Centers in Japanese, yeah, totally weird)

all photos are mine, since I took em on myself during my game crawl, lmao

starting with Kitabachi, a large amusement centre near my family house, where I spent almost every night when Im there, playing arcades, lmao...

taken back in 2010, might be my last photo pf the place, since they closed not long after... RIP Kitabachi, thank you for everything...

summer gate Taken by nuo2x2 with Vivo V19

another sudden hiatus these couple of weeks, and Im sorry for that

if you around in my other Socials as well, you might have noticed I complained A LOT bout my summer this year… I felt like Im gonna spend another summer in pandemic mode, yet again.. it wasn’t bout FOMO, but I just feel very, VERY tired of spending my summer in pandemic mode

yet again, careful what you wished for! turns out I was just having a late, super late blooming summer this year! and it was SUPER overwhelming!!! ^^’

ahem, yeah… reason for my recent disappearance in any of my Socials, I might have spent one of the craziest summers in my life, hahahahaw!!! granted, t’was super late, things just started to become interesting from late August through whole September… still, cant complain at all!!!

really enjoyed the whole experience, from new assignment, vacation, daily events, to hosting my own events; hobbies and professional related; local, regional, to international scope; hahah

cyberpunk aquarium shop Taken by nuo2x2 with Vivo V19

man… how I missed these feelings… turns out what I badly need in recovering from this ever-increasing gloomy life must be outdoorsy activities… and oh, also some social boost for sure!!!

I apologize for my sudden disappearance in all my (digital) Socials… but again, I don’t regret my decision

thank you for checking on me, many of you even DMed or trying to contact me multiple times, most I believed I have replied… but if not, no worries, I’m totally fine, just spending too much time outdoorsy this summer… like the good olden days, hahah

make sure to stay around tho, Im back to my regular post schedule, aaaaaand…. It’s October… y’know what that means right????? Halloween time baby!!!

for now, let me finish up my summer materials a bit, just to close the loop... still got some summer steam on me atm

Anata no Warehouse  (Kawasaki Warehouse) circa 2018 Taken by nuo2x2 with Premier BF66 + Fujicolor 100

oof sorry, again, crazy IRL works... nonetheless, gotta finish this series!

one of my best memories when moving to Kanagawa back then, was this stunning gesen or arcade center... more like mini theme park even... pretty famous during that period on socials like Instagram and the likes, where they have gory scary yet beautifully themed interior, more like jumpin into post apocalyptic or even Akira’s world type of interior, and it’s totally free.. many tourists visit this place for sure...

personally, I really love this arcade because of their game collection, mostly a bit older, a bit more retro than what we have in regular arcades in Japan, think of 2000s ish type or arcade... and reason Im keep coming, they got music arcades from that period, like Guitar Freaks and Drum Mania V3, dayum.. only place where I can experience that game in Kanagawa

yet that snap might be my last photo of the building, since not long after, in November 2019 they closed down.. even before the pandemic.. 

sigh... RIP Kawasaki warehouse.. was really a gem, such lost...
