Azunyan Nakano gallery sums up my K-ON! gallery series. I don't think the other K-ON! girls are worthy enough to have their own galleries unless someone manages to convince me otherwise ^^. Azunyan may not have as many fans as Yuri or Mio but con... (Read more)

Lurking around the Internet in search for Tsumugi Kotobuki large resolution images is not as challenging as I thought it would be. It's only fair to post some images of other K-ON members aside from Mio and Yui and maybe with this post, Tsumugi can... (Read more)

K-ON! easily raised its popularity since the start of the show and it's all due to one of the character, Mio Akiyama. She is shy-type who everyone loves and not that I am trying to put down other characters. This post is dedicat... (Read more)

About Me
I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia so yeah I am an Indonesian, Chinese Indonesian to be exact ^^. In 2000, I moved to Canada to continue my study and I was very lucky that my parents can afford to send me outside Indonesia considering the tuition fee for an international student is a lot more than the normal one. Since I arrived in Canada in 2000, I just totally fell in love with this country which leads me to pursue my permanent resident so I can stay in Canada and maybe one day, I will be a Canadian citizen ^^. My permanent resident is currently in the process so I am keeping my finger-crossed and hope I can get it soon.
I started my career as a web developer which something I enjoy doing aside from anime related and computer hardware. In addition, this blog is something new and unexpected that I would enjoy it considering writing is probably my weakest subject/ not fond of either in English or Indonesia. To put it simply, I am bad at it. Blogging is fun and gives warm and fuzzy feeling inside when I share my excitement with my readers.
Anime has been my passion since I was a litte kid and I remembered in my childhood I was watching Voltus-V and Saint Seiya ^^b. Back then anime was not as popular as it is now in Indonesia and it hadn’t gone mainstream like now where everyone knows Naruto and Bleach. My all time favourite anime is Card Captor Sakura and how it leaded me to my online nickname Saku.
In anything such as forum, characters name in game, profile , etc, I always use SakuraKinomoto or any variation of it, however, the name ‘Saku’ has an interesting story behind it. My FFXI linkshell (guild) member called me ‘Saku’ since my character name is SakuraKinomoto which is too long and too hard to say it and funny things when I met most of them in real life, they still call me Saku instead my real name so since then I just use Saku as my online name.
Computer hardware is my other passion and everyday, I always check a computer forum that I usually go for tech related news. I tend to upgrade my computer at least once a year just to keep with the technologies and I overclock my PC ^^.
In summary, Anime + Computer hardware = 2 expensive hobbies = Saku is broke -_-;;.
I also play games and used to spend a lot of time on FFXI but recently , it just does not interest me anymore and I spend more time in Team Fortress 2 [fps game]. My Steam ID: S4kur4k1n0m0t0 so feel free to add to your Steam friend list.
Contact
I can be reached at the_invicibleone [at] hotmail [dot] com and feel free to add me to your msn but make sure let me know who you are ^^;;
Wordpress
This blog is running Wordpresss 2.5.1 with a lot of plugins ^^;;
My Goal with this website
I want to reach under 100,000th rank on Alexa.com and currently, I am on 800,000th rank. Long way to go but nothing is impossible.
Thank you for reading my ‘About’ page and enjoy your stay at www.sakuafk.com ^_^
