Tags: blogs, Californication, films, manga, manga store list, Memes, pictures, relatives, shopping, Tamagotchi, tv seriesI removed some people off my reading list. I always read their blogs and leave comments, but I never hear from them in mine. I’m being selfish again I know.
But sometimes I also want some ♥in’.Just recently I finished Californication Season 1. I suffered 2 nights of major headaches. That’s why I hate series in DVD format. You know, those only playable in standalone DVD players, because I can’t stay too long in front of the TV. UGH~ DAMMIT. If it weren’t for David Duchovny, I wouldn’t watch the whole season 1 Californication. I finished it in 2 nights since it’s only 12 episodes.
It’s possible to finish this in one sitting, but I feel weird watching the episodes with sex scenes when my parents are around. My brother also doesn’t want me to finish it ahead of him. I would watch with my PC, but I’d suffer back pains on my wooden chair. Lying on my bed while watching is not good either being near-sighted. I wrote a short background here.I splurged on 35mm films before the Surigao trip. I got myself some fresh Lucky Color 200 (lower than the SRP XD) and fresh Solid Gold 200. Then my parents brought home some cheap Fuji films from, I think, Walgreens.
To add more, Lola Lily gave 2 boxes of expired Kodak Gold 200 (must test to see how the pictures will come out) and Tita Pricilla bought me 2 boxes of fresh Fuji 400. Now they’re all zip-locked and stored in the crisper. Since Green-ade would be needing 120 films, I ordered from Adorama. I wanted to buy more, but I had to control myself. My parents would kill me if they see my cc bill go skyhigh just because of those. Next on my to-buy list is the LC-A. I wish a green version would come out. (Btw, magnetic_rose, will email you about your Polaroid films. They already arrived sa officemate ng Dad ko… Siya na lang mismo hinihintay ko dumating dito. *lol*)Before the film buying, I was already on a spending spree. I gave in to temptation and bought these on eBay.ph:
I made a compilation of local shops that sell manga in the T-A Forum. Some were suggested by others so credit goes to them.
Booksale MCS
CATS Collectibles Greenhills
Comic Quest SM North EDSA
Comic Odyssey Robinson’s Place Malate
Comic Odyssey TriNoma
Fully Booked Rockwell

National Bookstore
Powerbooks ATC
Powerbooks Greenbelt 3
Powerbooks Mall of Asia
Powerbooks SM Megamall
Powerbooks TriNoma
Skybucks SM Fairview
Yamazaki Japanese Grocery Store (Near MCS? Can anyone confirm?)
So far, I find the collection at Powerbooks TriNoma and Fully Booked High Street worth looking at. If only some manga are open for free-reading at Fully Booked, I would have to start LIVING there.
Man, I’ve been so busy lately. My to-do list gets longer as more stuff are needed to be done. I spent two days organizing my room. It’s about 80% finished. I got a new bookshelf where I can finally put my manga, novels, and DVDs. A bit unfortunate that I can’t access my terrace anymore because we placed the bookshelf just beside the door.
I hardly use the terrace anyway. Had a bit of a phobia going there after seeing (with Pebbles) a guy masturbating. Eww~ It would be alright if it’s a HOT guy, but he isn’t… So… 
Aside from room cleaning, it has also been busy with most of my relatives from the US here. Shopping, dinners, lunches, a wedding, etc… The talking and walking is very tiring. 
But it was overall fun. I had Mac join us in one of our dinners. I’m glad my relatives didn’t “interrogate” him or something. He was a big help to one of my Lola when we went shopping. She had him fit the 2 barong she bought from Tutuban. Here’s an -ology meme copied from Lady Noremon’s dA:
