  1. If you are a Jericho fan , try niyo basahin book ni Jericho called "Lion's Tale" . Medyo expensive nga lang since hard bound pero its worth it... Worth reading din "Have a Nice Day" and "Adam Copeland on Edge"...

     

    Some ex-wrestler news:

     

    UFC officially confirmed Brock Lesnar vs. Heath Herring in a heavyweight bout at UFC 87 in Minneapolis, Minnesota on August 9.

     

    Damn... freak of nature naman kasi si Lesnar eh.. sayang din naman siya...

  2. Of course, originals parin... most revivals do not have the emotion that was present in the original songs... like "Upside Down" , "Especially for You" and ... "Kapag Tumibok ang Puso" :D

     

    Well, I can't fault artists from trying to give a modern twist to their interpretations of popular songs pero sana lang maganda... not just a watered down version of the original...

  3. Just be careful na di siya bootleg or fake... If all else fails , you can always order online (bigbadtoystore.com ) kaso malaking risk yun lalo na if youre using your credit card and baka ma tax ka pa sa item :)

  4. Yeah anime figures are quite expensive! usually the 1/8 stuff go from 1.5 k to 3k! Kaya medyo stop na ako eh... :P Although mas expensive mga ibang stuff na nakikita ko online like the star wars or Marvel ones...

     

    The Spawn figures are quite nice and detailed and must have cost a pretty penny. Dami!

     

    Thanks! I'll check it out at MOA.. hopefully theyre still there ...

  5. Sige I'll try checking out the toy place if they still have those... sana nga lang mas malaki kasi parang picture frame lang yung size niya... Medyo no funds pa kasi i bought the Kaiyodo Misato Katsuragi eh... grabe 3k+ din... so much for self control :)

  6. Hello. I'd like to share my experiences in ordering stuff online from the following sites:

     

    1.) Amazon.com - Shipping is really expensive so I would recommend not buying multiple items. I haven't paid customs when I ordered at this site (Package was delivered by FEDEX) but my officemate was forced to pay between 1k - 2k for his programming manual.

     

    2.) Amazon.co.jp - Same with Amazon. My friend was charged 1200 when he bought a photobook. This package was delivered by DHL. Whenever the package is delivered by Fed-ex , there were no customs charges. Most of my purchases here were books and comics so I'm not sure if it's applicable to the other items.

     

    3.) HLJ.com - This site specializes in toys. I first tried EMS. The package arrived after a week. Unfortunately , I was required to claim it at the Pasay post office and pay customs (which was more expensive than the item).

    I then tried the SAL method and and specified my office as the delivery address. Customs will not really charge you for books or similar printed material if its not that big. I think the customs agent mentioned something about the weight of the package. On the other hand , figurines or toys are charged if the value is over 2000 pesos. The customs agent mentioned that you can save money if you group all your purchases in one shipping since the doc stamps or other similar fees will only be paid once.

     

    4.) Latendoshop.com - Again , this site specializes in toys. I didn't pay any customs fees when I specified SAL as the shipping. I had it declared as a gift and requested the merchant to undervalue the item just in case. On the other hand , when a bulk shipment was shipped to Makati, I had to pay 500 as "grease money" instead of 1200 for the customs tax.

     

    Basically what we can do to save costs is that we can 1.) declare the item at a lower value , 2.) Declare it as a gift 3.) Group the shipments into one delivery ...

     

    Just my two cents. :)

  7. Looks like ONS 2008 will not be good pero at least its not gonna be December to Dismember bad... Wrestling seems to be quite bland nowadays compared to the glory days of the Rock and Wrestling and the Attitude era.. Good thing there's WWE 24/7 sa Maxxx.

     

    Nakakamiss si Rock. Sobrang charismatic , he was able to transition from wrestling to mainstream movies. Personally I think mas pinili ni Dwayne Johnson ang show business kaysa wrestling kasi it pays more , it has more exposure and fame, and of course he isn't on the road for more than 300 days a year. Siyempre siguro sobrang ma stestereotype na siya as a wrestler if he still continues wrestling kaya he stopped it na for his movie career. According to the wrestling observer , daming nagalit na veterans when Cena did that interview....
