haruhi 360!

it's here! my first ebay.ph purchase! my first anime pvc figure! my 1/8 scale max factory haruhi's here!

i was really excited to go home today when i found out that my purchased item was already delivered at home.. and here it is! my beloved (2nd in my wish list) haruhi suzumiya! i'm kinda donwloading the series right now. i discovered this figure first before having the thought of watching the anime. hehe! silly me..



anyway.. here are some of the pictures i took of her.. notice that the quality is not that good. i mean i notice some painting flaws. and i noticed her inner right leg had some noticeable damages? i couldn't find the term. but the point is her right inner leg was not that smooth.. but anyway.. not bad for my first pvc figure.


notice how excited i was tearing the plastic of the package??? haha!


and there she is!

yes! at long last! i won a bid at ebay.ph! this is my second time to bid and i was able to do my first purchase at ebay.ph. though i didn't get the first item in my wish list though. the first item on my wish list is the ignis of chaos gate. :D

so this is the second item on my wish list.. i'm really looking forward to shooting my first anime pvc figure tonight! :D can't wait for today to end.. :D

anyway, here's how she look like.. :D isn't she adorable?? she's from suzumiya haruhi no yuuutsu anime/ manga series. this figure is only 1/8 scale.. :D i envy Danny Choo having this figure everywhere he goes and at anything he does. :D so i got my own haruhi.. hehe!

ebay loser!

i lost my first ever bid at ebay.ph! grrr! i placed my bid on an item (one of my japanese PVC figure wishlist) about last 6 days ago.. hoping i'd get to win the bid and make my first purchase at ebay.ph at the same time, purchase my first pvc figure!

so i placed my bid there, i was already in touch with the seller about my postal address, final cost, etc. then when i woke up today! i got an email informing me that some outbid me! aaaargghhh!!! and the bidder outbid me by 15 bucks! hahaha!

anyway it was my first experience bidding at ebay. not that simple eh.. exciting? hmm not really cos i was really hoping to receive my first pvc figure by next week! haaay..

so the pvc figure that's first on my list is ignis of chaos gate.. i didn't have second thought on purchasing one of it the first time i saw it!

nba finals

remember my post on the nba playoffs 2008? well, it's finally came to the western and eastern finals. lakers will meet the spurs again for the western conference title. as for the eastern conference title, the very much anticipated celtics face offs with the pistons.

whoa! i don't think i was able to watch a single game for the entire playoff. d@mn our cable provider! haha! anyway, i was quite busy these past few days, months! arrrrgh!!! i need a lot of breaks..

good luck to all the team (go LAKERS! hahah! im sure i will hear some violent reactions for this).

and of course, go celtics (i don't even know the pistons were in... hmm.. )

may the best team wins!

gadget infinity

i made my first purchase at gadgetinfinity just yesterday. it was recommended to me by a photographer friend of mine.

i was really planning to buy some triggers ever since i got my canon speedlite 430ex external flash. using direct flash causes some undesirable results. strobist technique is becoming even more popular these days. finding radio triggers that's under my budget is hard to find here in the philippines.

good thing my friend recommended us the gadgetinfinity. it's an online stop for photography enthusiasts like me, even pros i bet. they sell a whole lot of other photography gears and stuff. and they do reply to any of your emails asap (during business days, don't worry they will inform you in case it's their holiday)

buying those 4 channel trigger and receivers did save me a lot.. it's cheaper than buying triggers in some local markets here in our country, even if you include the their shipping costs.

can't wait for my triggers to be delivered. they confirmed to me that it will take around 7-15 days here in our area.

Shannon Rae: Trick 01

these pictures were taken last may 04, 2008. i just stayed home the entire sunday! played with my nephew and niece.. it's been a while since i took photos of my niece.. i just realized that i didn't take as much photos as i did compared to Gabe. Gabe has tons of photos in my hard drive.

so this time, i took my camera out and clicked away.



i added a little comical element to these pictures. i wonder if my niece and i thought the same way. hehe! anyway, read my entire entry if you wonder what Shannon's latest trick!

new incredible hulk

i posted the teaser of the upcoming movie incredible hulk before. m not really contented not to watch the real trailer of the movie, so after browsing through you tube. here it is! better incredible hulk movie trailer!

you'd get to see more of the hulk, tho, i think he really shrunk compared to the first one.. but i think he's meaner now and, like i've said, more muscles.. hehe..

anyway, enjoy this new trailer that i found of the inclredible hulk as he smash through structures, tanks, even kicked a soldier's a$#. hahah!

laugh hard

these photos of my neice and nephew were taken last april 13, 2008. i was quite tired when i got home from an outing trip with my friends. but spending time with them playing and, seeing them smile or laugh is something really priceless.

smile of Shannon Rae.



Gabe and her mom picking their noses. haha!

i forgot when was the last time i laughed so hard. made me think and realized to see everything that is present at the very moment you are in and cherish every single second of it. so laugh as hard as you can, enjoy life. life is too short for us to worry about what had happened and what are about to happen. we can't control everything that has happened and will hapen in our lives. but we can enjoy every moment of it.


Shannon Rae, such a joyful baby, easy to make her smile and laugh. she'll respond if you talk to her.



Gabe having great time playing with his daddy.


Gabe laughing her hear out.

an island called potipot

april 20, 2008.

potipot island, zambales, philippines.. quite a small island, white beach, fine sand, clean water. heard that before, you'd find only a couple visitors within the island. but during the time me and my former colleagues went there, there were quite a lot of people.. but maybe it's the peak season and a lot of people are having their vacation. this island, potipot, is quite well known already anyway.

the island has no resort or any place to stay, some poeple do setup tents and camp there overnight. but i prefer not to contribute any pollution on this wonderful island. you could stay and rent a place at the candelaria zambales beach shore anyway, it's just around 5 minute boat ride to go to potipot, costs around 300-400, to and back from the island (i think it still depends on the number of people and the season you go there).. and right after you arrive on the island, you'd have to pay 50 bucks per head.

we only stayed for a short time. but this island is one must go and must be experienced even once in your life.. i just hope the people there will maintain and take good care of it..

here are some more pictures taken on the island.


the kind of boat you need to hire to go to the island.
