Our Magic-al Date

Naldo and I were being spontaneous last Saturday and so we woke up really early just to attend the Magic 2012 or M12 pre-release launch at Eton Cyberpod Corinthian. The original plan was for me-Shirl to join the MTG tournament. The registration fee was PhP 1200 and with that you get:

a seat at the tournament

6 Magic 2012 booster packs,

and 1 promo card (Bloodlord of Vaasgoth).

Unfortunately, I didn't get to join. We thought they were going to provide Magic 2012 dueling packs to registered players but they did not and I didn't bring a deck with me. =( Naldo suggested we get a new deck but I thought we've only been playing for a week. Hahaha! Yes we're completely newbies and there I was trying to join the tournament. Anyway, so yeah we've only had our deck for a couple of days and I didn't want us to be buying new ones yet. So we just observed a little bit, checked a few trader's folders and went to have lunch.

Here's a glimpse of the M12 cards. They are pretty nasty. =)

After lunch, Naldo wanted to check a Magic store in SM Megamall and so we headed there. But before more Magic, we had a detour. There was a Gundam Caravan workshop going on.

At first we just wanted to have a free catalog...

but we learned that we get to take home a Gundam SD if we join the SD building and painting contest.

Win or lose, the SD Gundam is yours- who can refuse that? It's totally free. There's no registration fee and you don't have to buy anything to join. All you have to do is attend the workshop- which we did.

If I had brought my deck, we would not have been able to take home these cuties!

That's it for today! Hope you're happy!

Claw Machine

After an exhausting seven hours of waiting at a certain government office (cough* LTO), we went to World of Fun arcade yesterday night.

Having only fifty pesos worth of tokens, we set our eyes on their claw vending machines. Guess what... we won two very kawaii plush toys! =)

Naldo controlled the claw while I crossed-fingers. It was absolutely equal work! Hehe! =D

Anyway, we usually take home all sorts of items from playing arcade games but this was our first time to be successful with the claw machine. Here are some of the prizes (Heffalump included) we've won from Timezone.

Tofu right below is the first plush we've won at the arcade. It is now in our car.

That's it for now. Hope you're having a great week. =)

Kamen Rider Den-O Hana Figure

Yay! Shirl got a new doll! She's Hana from Kamen Rider Den-O.

Manufacturer: Banpresto

Material: PVC (can't really afford resin yet)

Height: 18 cm.

Bandai EVA Shikinami Asuka Langley 1/8 PVC Figure

There's a rare find and there's a lucky find. This is the latter.

Gundam 0079 Character Collection

Last Valentine's Day, our mom got us the coolest gift ever... the 20th anniversary Gundam 0079 Character Collection 1:20 scale and unpainted Japan-made models of Amuro Ray, Char Aznable, Matilda Ajane, Sayla Mass, Kai Shiden, Garma Zabi, Icelina Eschonbach, Blight Noah and Lalah Sone.

There are supposed to be 10 of them so what we're missing is Frau Baw.

But that's okay because these are very rare items! They're already considered antiques. So yay!!! Lots and lots of thanks to our beloved Mom!
