Some new wall & Menu icons (=^__^=)

I've always been concerned about the general lack of resources of VS series customization on the net.. I know that these mobiles are pretty old but in western sites you can't even find old posts with some good stuff to download (or there is only few)..
Maybe the fun in customization is prerogative only of asian forums and blogs?

Indeed I was really surprised to find an incredible amount of free stuff on Japanese websites for their keitai menu icons.. I was pretty convinced that most of the japanese stuff was only for "pay and direct-download" option.. but I was wrong \(^o\) (/o^)/

Sure the japanese menu icons cannot be used on VS series mobiles since they are totally different from our menus (oh my.. you can customize almost everything on japanese keitais also drm icons.. backgrounds animations etc etc .. I'm so envious.. I have to consider to lay my hands on one of those monster-phones.. a mitsubishi d905i would be fantastic.. ^^;)

Anyway you can just adapt what you find with some photoshoppin' (=^v^=)

These are a new cute wallpaper and main menu set that I've found googlin' ..
I asked the owner of the site if I could edit these icons and re-upload them here and I'm very happy that my request has been accepted
this is the url of the original site.. it's very funny if you want to visit it & you can find some more stuff: http://www.fb-slash.com/

and these are my VS7 version wall & icon set

I like them very much!! (=^__^=)/


I've decided also to upload the Mario Bros menu icon set and wall because I'm currently using it.. it's really great and the outcome on vs7 is outstanding!
The wallpaper is my creation and the menu icon is a re-edit and photoshoppin' of free stuff I've grabbed on a japanese forum (but I don't know who posted them so I canno't thank him here)

hope you'll like them as much as I do

New Jacket after long time..

Today I had some fun creating a new jacket for my vs7..

I used an old Sanrio "Chibimaru" letter envelope out of my old huge box of trifling japanese goods... For many years I've been so proud and jealous of all the stuff I collected from sanrio and san-x that the thought of making an use of it was simply out of the question..

Now I'm way more relaxed about all this 'poppycock' so I can freely waste all these fancy goods just for their original purpose.. to have fun using them.. (*^__^*)

hope you like it and I'm sure some of you will love my new Super Mario Bro. menu icon set LOL

it's awesome!!

Diamonds are the girl's best friend....


(in picture you can't see how really bright is the VS7 16 million colours TFT 2,5inch display..
I love it.. that's the main feature it prompted me to buy one..)

few weeks ago while i was lurking around as usual in a High-tech store here in Rome I laid my hands on a beautiful HTC DIAMOND brochure.. there were also some promotional postcards you could get.. and I pinched a couple with the purpose of creating a new jacket for VS7..
Those postcards were really stunning.. they were laminated glossy black hologram cards and the graphics changed by moving the card..
I thought it could turn out an awesome jacket.. but I WAS WRONG!
while i was cutting the film pack (a plastic laminated cardboard) the hologram got messed up because air filtered underneath the plastic and created some bubbles..

I got mad.. That Holographic jacket sure would have been great if I could manage to cut it in the right way... (O_o) ...... (T_T) sob sob..

In the end I picked again the HTC brochure (plain black paper) and I cutted it to have a new Jacket..



mumble mumble.. I was so disappointed at first for my fully unsuccessful holographic cover that I couldn't consider this plain new jacket as barely attractive.. but now I must admit that I like it very much..



Simplicity works... (in jackets as in life) (^-^ °)

Ooooooh.... metcha kawaii!! Kittychaaan (=^__^=)/


this is exactly what I call "gettin' a huge satisfaction out of a damned annoying mess"...
(=^__^=)/

Some days ago.. Suzie, that pestilential black lille female cat that "live together with" my beloved old chubby and furry tom-cat (named Lupp).. thought well of jumping on a cuuute Sanrio merchandising that was hung on my bookshelf since ages.. and obviously she wrecked it.. ( oh noooooooooooooo!!!)

It was a really nice "kuru kuru mobile card" from SANRIO GIFT with all the HELLO KITTY family dressed in kimono suit resembling something like an old Japanese Imperial Family.. (LOL... soo stuupid and yet so damned cute!!)
I couldn't find a picture on the web of this "Ureshihina Matsuri" Mobile card (happy festival mob card) but I found something similar just to give you an idea of how it worked on my bracket..


That continuous spinning and winding up of the family tree over my head was so delightful.. and it brought always a snippet of joy to me.. but now I realize that it was a also terrific temptation in Suzie's opinion.. (she is a PLAGUE!!)

The family tree had been totally destroyed but after an initial shock and anger I could turn it into a STUNNING and unique new DIY custom jacket for my beloved yet twat mobile (phone).. (LOL)

It was a real pain in the neck to cut it with sharpness and accuracy because the card was made of (not so) thin cardboard.. but after saying so many obscenities & curses to Suzie I can say that the outcome is terrific!!



MAGNIFICENT!!
so damn cute cover!!!

(I deliberately covered also the external display of my VS7 not to cut the face of my horny little Daniel (LOL) and I like this plain jacket without ext. display window..)

(The gold behind Daniel & Kitty mirrors the light and it makes the cover really shining!!)


SUGOII NEE!!!!

As usual I've made a short clip for my new jacket and this time I've added also a fantastic BGM
it's Utada Hikaru's Traveling song in a cute relaxing instrumental version.. hope you'll like it ^^

My new LISMO strap has arrived!! (Celebrate, Come on^^)

I didn't have to wait much (=^__^=)/
Registered mail seems to be pretty fast from Malaysia and I'm very happy of the new bounch of cell phone straps I got it lately!!
I've bought my first LISMO strap with display cleaner..

I't's soooo cute!!
Green and attractive! I really luv it!
One of my best strap ever!
Lismo-kun has got the handsfree earphones for wireless music and the typical au by kddi "infobar" orange phone..


Extremely Kawaii!!! o(^-^o)(o^-^)o

In the same parcel I received also 2 Softbank-Sharp 812sh "Pantone Edition" colourful straps..


Pantone phones (Softbank 812 sh) are really cool. There are about 24 different colors out and you can choose the one you like most..
They are all beautiful Pantone colors and in my opinion it should be very hard to choose the fave one among soo many attractive nuances..

apparently there should be a different phone strap for any colour.. I've bought only the red and orange ones.. I liked also the purple and violet-blue ed. that were available at the time of my order but I ran out of money (LOL) (^^;)


The last strap I received in the very same day it was sent from Japan and it is a pretty rare promo merchandise for SEGA Dreamcast console. It is a red lacet with a funny toy charm that depict Mr. Yukawa Hidekazu (SEGA Enterprises office executive) who in 1998 was main star of Dreamcast launch ad campaign.


The japanese writings on the blister says "Ganbare!! Yukawa senmu" (Cheer up!!-Do your best! Managing Director Yukawa)...
It is soo funny and pretty unconventional (^-^')
I'm very glad I laid my hands on it!!
