What I should I buy? Help? (2 Comments)
It’s the end of the internet. D:
*gah* I can’t believe reading LJ flists has become a task. I even had to include that in my planner. ~_~ It’s the fault of PLURK — ruining my habit of checking forums and reading LJ flists. Also, my ISP doesn’t seem to like LJ or LJ has become buggy. Most of the time, user icons won’t show making my friends’ pages look dull (sorry!). So I started reading my flist earlier and I realized I’ve missed a lot of posts. Why do LJ keep a minimum of posts in flists!? Damn them! If only I can access friends-only posts in Google Reader, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Two weeks ago, I got new glasses (for my astigmatism). The lens grade of my left eye had to be increased again. My Dad said I should get new frames and just have the left lens of the old frames changed. The old one will be left at work while the new (and red) one I’ll be using often. ^_^ Dad said the new frames lack “formality.” Haha~ That’s me in the pic with my new glasses. CHU! (I apologize for the crappy picture. I used my very old webcam. *lol*)Last week I had an appointment in a construction firm. The one who set the appointment apparently filed a leave for the day and I had to speak to someone else. That is of no problem, but I’d prefer to talk to the person who set the appointment or if she told me earlier that she won’t be at the office. I got there just on time. But they made me wait for 2 EFFIN’ HOURS. WTF!? The person I talked to gave this arrogant feeling. She didn’t address me as an engineer though I believe she should have because of obvious reasons. That meeting wasn’t a barkada gimmick or whatever. ~_~ We discussed something about money. She snickered when I pronounced the number “3.” Why? Because I can hardly pronounce it right with my retainers on. HOW RUDE! I don’t want to see her face anymore or I might b!tchslap her. GRR~
For my birthday, I got myself a:
Keroro Gunsou DX-01 Plamo
Haven’t gotten to assembling even a single character. I decided I should take this plamo building seriously because these stuff don’t come cheap. ^_^V I need a model or wire cutter or at least a nipper. I’m thinking of hand-painting these, but spray point seems a better option. Airbrushing would be the best choice, but that’s too expensive.
A family acquaintance will be coming to visit from Japan. His name’s Peter, he hangs out 24/7 at Tokyo-U (I think he teaches there), and has a project here in the Philippines (through ADB or WB). We met him through my Dad who invited him over for lunch months ago. He’s cute, btw. HAHHAHAHAHAH~ XDDD; He has a lot of achievements considering his age. I think he hasn’t even reached 30. D: Anyway, yes, he will be coming over and he asked my Dad if there’s anything I want him to buy for me. :DDD I have to pay him, of course. *lol* I WANT SUGGESTIONS, LOVELIES!!!
I want these stuff (listed by priority):
Real Type Dororo Robo and Real Type Keroro Robo — ¥700@
DX-03 Team Keroro Mk.II God Keron — ¥4500
(This is way over my budget though)
Revoltech DMC3 Dante — ¥1900
Big Sergeant Keroro — ¥14800
(Way, way, way over my budget!)
I also want these, but production has been discontinued.
Anyway, I need suggestions. I’m thinking of getting films as well and an Ikimono camera. But both can be bought here albeit slightly more expensive.

New DA uploads and a recent cab incident (1 Comment)
Most of you are surely familiar with those shots as they were from my brother’s birthday celebration that I just posted recently. ^_^ Looking at all those food is making me hungry!
I saw a link in my Plurk tonight about a recent cab incident. Some parts of that post is in Filipino, so for those who can’t understand the language, here’s a rough and short summary about the incident — A woman was on her way to meet her friend. She hails a cab and as she sits down, the driver asks her to move to the left because the right wheel of the car was near flat. Some men suddenly tried to open the doors. The woman thought they didn’t see her. She let out a scream when she saw the driver was opening the doors for them. The hold-up went on for hours. At one time, she was asked to move her hands down as she was clasping them. She apologized. She said she was only praying. The driver said, “Don’t be afraid, miss. We’re nice and won’t do any harm to you as long as you cooperate.”
So hold-upping is nice. >_> My Mom’s college friend and her daughter also experienced such. They were afraid to ride a cab again after that. I rarely ride cabs anymore not only because I’m afraid of such but I get motion-sickness when I ride one. The smell also gets me dizzy. XP
Based on Dré’s plurk, I made a list of trustworthy cab companies:
Avis
Basic
R&E
Wallis
Hmm, only 3? Got some to add to the list anyone?
2008-0807 UPDATE: Added Wallis to the cabs list. ^_^ Thanks, Carol!

DA, eBay @$$wipe, and my latest camera purchase (1 Comment)
Latest additions to my DA:
And a scrap:
I still haven’t gone through my DA gallery. I have a few photos I want to move to scraps. ^_^V
I didn’t write in my planner for 2 weeks. No wonder I felt too disorganized. XP But started writing in it again. I have tons of things to do and I badly need to write them down to know what I should prioritize. :3
A buyer of my cheap book at eBay.ph texted me (again) last Sunday. She was asking when I will leave her feedback. The thing is, she doesn’t have the book yet. She only sent in the payment some time last week and mentioned that we exchange feedbacks now for her “quick payment.” I remember telling her that we should settle the transaction first before I will leave feedback. I told her that again, but she still kept bugging me. She even said that I shouldn’t blame her if anything happens. Meaning, she will buy again one of my items and LEAVE A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK… For not leaving her a one. ~_~ I remember telling her, “You have a big problem. What feedback are you going to put? That I am giving you one YET? I don’t like your threats. You should read people’s terms & conditions, you know.” The last sentence is when she told me that she did the feedback thing with a power seller. I have my conditions and one of them is leaving feedback AFTER a successful transaction. I thought to myself that I could leave her one then report her to eBay. I don’t care if eBay removes the positive feedback she left me. Abusing the negative feedback is a no-no at eBay.
Her plan is that she will buy another item from me to save on shipping. I told her I don’t understand why I already have to leave feedback for her already when we could do so after. Considering the feedbacks I have, I’m not going to run away with a measly less than a dollar payment. Sheesh~ I am willing to wait until she can fully pay for the shipping even. She explained again about saving on shipping fees. She even said there’s nothing confusing about that. I know, but its relation with the feedback is. >_>
I wasn’t home when we were texting, so I told her I can’t leave her feedback. She even gave me a deadline — I only have until the end of the day (that Sunday). WTF!? I told her sarcastically, “Wow, how nice of you!” After that she didn’t text anymore. I have a feeling she only collects feedbacks and maybe scam people after getting more than 10 positive ones.
Anyway, I’m not sure if that person is a she, but I think so because of her text messages. Whatever. I’ll text her again later because the item’s past my handling time. She hasn’t sent me her shipping details too. When she was threatening me, she kept asking how much the shipping fee is when she wouldn’t say where she lives. It’s odd she was already willing to pay for the shipping fee after admitting she doesn’t have money yet.
*sighs*
Mac and I accompanied my brother to Hidalgo yesterday. He was looking for a Pentax SLR. The second stall we checked had a Lomo camera. I was very tempted at first though I had a feeling it was an expensive camera. BF asked the price and when I heard how good of a bargain it is, I wanted to buy it already, but I didn’t have much cash with me. I usually only bring very few cash and the rest I pay with CC. XD; My bf and brother kept telling me to just withdraw and buy it already so that we don’t have to go back for the third time this week. ^_^V I gave in and bought it. *lol* I’m not sure what camera model it is. It looks like a (King) Regula. Instead of a Regula name on it though, it has a Lomo name on it with still the K symbol. I hope someone knows what camera this is + the specs. I will post pictures tonight along with my Golden Half.
F-U, removed one!!!
