Real Life Animé Anastasiya Shpagina

One peaceful yet so humid evening, I'm trying to search anything about animé, don't get me wrong here, I'm not really into that stuff... anymore! ;-) Well, I came across with an article claiming that there's a girl who pulls some serious make-up sorcery to appear somehow, just like an anime character.

Meet Anastasiya Shpagina, Ukranian, she's 19 years of age as of this writing year 2014, 1.58 meters tall, weighs just 39 kilos and is trying to lose one more in order to look just right. Yes, she's taking this stuff pretty much seriously. She has even taken the name Fukkacumi, to sound more Japanese.

Due to her popularity, Anastasiya Shpagina appeared on a lot of TV shows there in Ukrain as well as being interviewed by various Ukrainian newspapers. On one interview, she admitted that a lot of people are freaked out by her look s when they see her on the streets of Odessa.

However, she loves bumping into Japanese tourists, some of them try to talk to her, but unfortunately, they don’t speak Russian and she doesn’t understand Japanese. One funny story though, the young hairdresser says that their eyes become as large as Europeans when they see how close her face resembles that of an anime character.

Anastasiya gets up at five in the morning every day in order to be at work by nine. That’s because she needs a lot of time to get into character. On one of her eyes, it takes her 30 minutes to do the makeup, and in about two hours, the entire face is ready. That’s probably why she would like to have surgery in order to change the shape of her eyes permanently. She says this kind of surgical procedure is very common in Japan, but she doesn’t know if it’s also available in the Ukraine. In order to look more like an anime character, she would like to get her waist reduced surgically as well. But for now, she has to make do with makeup in order to look as realistic as possible.

Anastasiya was kind enough to provide a video tutorial of her make up process, you can make this as your guide for you to become an animé character yourself ;-)

The Most Expensive Philippine Coin Ever Sold

I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste

Hanamichi Sakuragi: In Real Life

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan.

The Great Badjang or Giant Taro

As we try to come up with things to do to make our days productive this Pandemic, a lot of people are leaning towards Gardening. Here in the Philippines, people are becoming crazy with a certain plant. It has large leaves which resembles an Elephant’s ear. Badjang, as we call it here in the Philippines, scientifically called Alocasia macrorrhizos, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family that it is native to rainforests of Island Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland and has long been cultivated here in the Philippines, many Pacific islands, and elsewhere in the tropics. It is also famous as Giant Taro. The giant taro was originally domesticated in the Philippines, but are known from wild specimens to early Austronesians in Taiwan. From the Philippines, they spread outwards to the rest of Island Southeast Asia and eastward to Oceania where it became one of the staple crops of Pacific Islanders. They are one of the four main species of aroids (taros) cultivated by Austron
