While I was browsing on my Tumblr feed, I saw a post from a fellow Tomoaki Maeno fan that he's going to have his first photo book to be published a day before Christmas 2016. I am so delighted and sad at the same time, since I don't know if I'll be able to purchase it. But through a group of friends, they made it possible and told me that it's a birthday gift from them to me. I am so happy! So now, I am making my first blog post for 2017 and it's all about Tomoaki Maeno's photo book titled "one A.M"


A week before the event, I decided to take photos of all the Mystic Messenger cosplayers that I will be seeing at the convention. Yep. I am a big fan of the Korean Otome game and my favorite is Jumin Han. Because I know that during Sundays, lots of cosplayers are gathered whenever there is a convention for that day, I decided to go at Day 2 of Cosmania 2016. And my quest for finding Mystic Messenger cosplayers was a success!

It's been sort of a sunny and rainy Sunday afternoon at Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife at Quezon City. Though most of the time, the cloudy weather was not cooperating and I am having a hard time capturing some shots but these cosplayers totally nailed it with their epic poses!


After I found out that my favorite Japanese voice actor Daisuke Hirakawa will be having a photo book and it will be out in the market in 2015, I felt so glad and sad at the same time. Glad because I am very excited for this photo book but felt sad because I don't know if I'll be able to buy one because it's sorta expensive on my part and of course, it's available in Japan so it means I need to have more money to afford International shipping. But well, I guess I am really lucky because I got a copy of his photo book this April 2016!


When boredom strikes, you have the tendency to look for some things to do (of course!). After seeing a toy motorcycle which was perfect for a 1:12 scale figure, I decided to pick my Figma Levi and went outside to take some photos. It's afternoon motorbiking time with Levi!


I decided to use a forwarding service to purchase a photo book from Japan instead of buying straight to Amazon Japan. Two reasons behind it is (1) It's way more cheaper and (2) Tenso forwarding service provides Japanese address for users so you can buy Japanese items online with ease. For this post, I'll be sharing the advantages and disadvantages of using a forwarding service.


For fans of any personality, we tend to go a very long way to show our support for our idols - even if it requires to spend some money. As for me, I don't mind spending (but of course not too much). But what if you are a fan - for example of an Idol from a different country - and you can't even find any other ways for you to show your support? Today, I'll be sharing my personal experience as I struggle upon subscribing to a particular paid channel at Nico Nico Douga.


Because I don't have a time enough to prepare for a Christmas diorama, I only used some available items that I spotted at home. Here's my simple photographs for today's theme: "Christmas 2015."

It's my first ever item that have been bought from Japan and delivered right next to my door steps (or better to say at the post office first hahaha). Because I'm a fan of Shoose (しゅーず) and my friends know that simple fact about myself, they gave me his first album as a gift for my birthday last year! So today, I'll be sharing this little haul, Shoose' First Album entitled as "Shoose Box."


Hi dreamers! I happened to drop by again at a toy store and luckily I found this item which is perfect for my upcoming toy diorama set-up. This Tableware Set from Sylvannian Families is surely a must-buy to make your dining, tea time, or cafe set up beautifully decorated together with your toys.

























Collecting Re-Ment sets is another hobby that I am currently starting to venture. Isn't it amazing when you actually saw everything as a complete set and have them photographed with your Figma and Nendoroid collections? You can almost give life to your diorama with these Re-Ment sets as they are beautifully made and makes each scene alive.


What's good when you are actually looking for some action figure accessories and you are on a budget is seeing items which is very usable and much cheaper. All you need to do is be patient and be wise! I saw this living room set accessory on a Japanese Store in a mall and I am very delighted to spot something good for my Figma and Nendoroid and much more, it's also cheap. So today, I'll be sharing my haul of the day - Wood Craft Living Room Puzzle Set.


It's been a very tough day for everyone! But even the typhoon brought strong winds and heavy rains, Cosplay Festival at SM City Molino has been another successful event! Organized by team Subsonic Forge and SM City Molino, Cosplay Festival was held last October 18 at the mall's event center.


The weather is quite gloomy today. You can't even guess if it's going to rain or not. So I decided to take my camera, grab one of my action figures and go to our porch area to take some photos and play with Adobe Lightroom afterward.

So I happened to visit this Japanese surplus shop at Starmall EDSA-Shaw and saw this set of keychains. I find it cute and a nice accessory for toy photography! So I bought these Meiji Ice Cream Tub keychains and I happened to buy three different variants of these.

Up for my first post! But before that, welcome to Reverie Wonderland! As I mentioned on my 'About' section, I'll be sharing posts mostly photos or anything related about toys and photography. So for my first post, I'll be sharing this third action figure on my collection from Banpresto DXF: Levi Cleaning version from anime Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin).
