Going to be a bumpy ride...

Things will get crazy lately... I didn't quite make it to one job i'm hoping for to get in. But luckily I do get an opportunity to apply for another position. On the other hand, I'm leaving my part-time job due to certain reasons which I will not fully disclose, but to give you an idea...I don't like the working atmosphere. There's also another job opportunity that I have take a test as well next month. I have a couple of lines casted....but something tells me I need to bring a huge net to catch something, heck I'll even settle for a mackerel but a salmon would be awesome.

Gunpla....

I'm close to hitting 200, just check I have 199 subs. lol. Hmm... maybe time for subscriber's special--a contest!! hehe.

A lot of things happend since last time I posted. Not sure where to start. hmm...

Seems like I'm getting more subscribers and a lot of 'em really like reviews. I'm very thankful. ^_^ I do find it difficult to thank all of the recent ones, there's so many... I'm starting to think I should stop doing that and just make a video thank them in general. But deep down...I want to thank each and every single one of them. It's just a matter of time. haha.

Hmm... I wonder what kit to open next. There's the Tenshio Shiba-I Sazabi (probably mispelled. lol) I might do that one. Also, my sister (the older one) wants to give SD gunpla a chance. Might let her start on a kit that was supposedly for my other sister, SD Gundam Leopard.

I'm also finding that I still can't control my impulse gunpla buying...which is really bad considering what i've mentioned above relating to my part-time job. Maybe I should create a penalty if I do go on impulse again.... I was thinking of hosting a contest--meaning I'll lose one of my kits in the process O_o each time I break my promise (lol that rhymes). But we'll see, might be too daring. haha.

On other things...

Got a couple of upcoming tests for jobs. Need to get cracking on those.

Also I need to redeco my room to be more presentable....make it my "pad" haha. I'll probably end up doing garage or online sale of my stuff (well except for gunpla. :P)

Promise is a Promise

I've been having this problem since I can remember. I keep commiting to promises that I know down the road I'll break one way or another. But I do keep most of my promises, but we usually find the small amount of false promises outweighing the rest.

I promise myself with Vek as my witness (lol.) that I'll hold off my gunpla purchase for the sake of my wallet's health and to trim down my backlog. Unfortunately, I made a promise to a fellow SD Gundam enthusiast that I'll get him this SD kit that's hard to get in his area nor the interwebs (actually it'll be a gift for him for his upcoming bday. Ain't I nice? :P ) So now my predicament of holding those two promises. I could argue that I'm buying the SD kit for someone and not for me. lol. But the place I'm getting it at has that "buy one full price, 2nd half off" deal. It'll be hard to resist to not get another kit to avail for the discount. I could buy another one and use that as a price for my upcoming contest on my youtube channel (which still under formulation. hehe) But then again, I already have a spare SD NT-1 Alex that I can use as the prize (which I think is one of the best SD kits out there.) We'll see how it goes as I visit the hobbystore to acquire the sd kit as I've promised.

Gunpla...
- I'm working on a kits for about 3 days painting 'em. I've finished 1 and almost done with the other. I do however reviewed 2 (one of which i finished awhile back) on my youtube page. I'll be finishing that another one and as well as work on mobile goohn.

- Funny how there's more attention towards the SD Onimitsu Ninja Naomaru (#279) than the SD Bukiri Maru (#250) which I put more effort on. lol. It has to be the shiny gold plating. :P

- I'll be making more SD 4Koma as well as comics (more than 4 panels). Stay tune for those.

- Unboxing another kit. I'll probably find one that doesn't require painting that much as I've exhausted myself. lol.

- I'm also getting curious of getting some SD gundam gashapons... I wonder if anyone will be willing to trade some of 'em for stikfas kits. hehe.

Other things:
- I'll be celebrating my sister's graduation this upcoming weekend. Which reminds me, I need to fix her computer.
- My knee still hurts a little bit, can't wait for it to fully heal so I can run again.

Camping Trip

I had an interesting first time experience camping with my family and friends at Pinecrest. It's really fun especially if the group you're in is huge. The trip going there is quite exhaustive as it's 3 hours just sitting and waiting. I did bring a gundam kit, advance hazel, with me to work on. I manage to finish the main body by the time I arrive there, and work on accessories sometime in the afternoon while waiting for dinner.

I actually don't know what to expect to a camping trip. I thought there would be more pesky bugs bothering me. But there's hardly, well there's on occassion minute spiders that will drop down on you. lol. I don't mind them, if I have it would just drive me crazy. I did find cool, creepy and interested bugs which i took a digital macro shots with my camera. I also took some nature shots with my SD Gundams: Alex and Zaku. hehe. Having a nature as a background does make the kits more epic. ^_^

I also had fun playing with the kids over there. One of 'em is really good in chess, which i got 'pwned' a couple of times, I only beat him once when he went easy on me. haha. We also had a fun time chowing down on grilled shrimps covered in garlic sauce and other yummy dishes brought by one family. Actually each family pitched in to a meal, my family was set for the next day's lunch. As most camping goes, we also had a campfire and melted some marshmallows. I find it easier to toast 'em near the edge of the ember, as suppose to the top. I got quite a sugar rush that night, which followed by a drowsy state afterwards. lol.

One thing i forgot to bring was a flashlight. It was so dark and there's only a handful of light source. The light from the cellphone was okay, but still a bit difficult to manage with. Good thing my dad brought his. It's a bit difficult to sleep at night. I'm actually used to sleeping at the ground, so no problem there. I had my own tent and I slept with luna, our chihuahua. She has a tendency to snuggle near your neck. I initially had her inside my jacket wrap near my body and arms. But she manage to crawl up to my sleeves and to my shoulder. lol. It was cold that night, good thing I like cold. But from time to time I hear my family talk, I guess they can't sleep due to the temperature or something.

Then my dad start calling Luna. O_o. She sprung out from my jacket and tried to get out of the tent. I tried a couple of times to calm her and put her back in, but no avail. I eventually asked my dad to pick her up...lol. The following morning it's quite cold and a bit moist from the morning dew. They're already starting breakfast and another day for my camping trip.

Overall, I really like my camping experience. We'll do it again this coming September. I'll be sure to bring my flashlight and maybe more gunpla. hehe.
