Alive!!

I just realized I still had this space, lol. So, I have moved to Canada since Dec 2017. There’s a lot of things to write about, but haven’t really had the drive to do so, because reasons reasons. I’ll get them in writing, eventually. 🙂

Cleanliness in a Bottle

Yes, the car engine (internals) get dirty too. What can you do about it? Continue reading →

Tomica Haul – 2017 Feb 4

Finally!! I’ve been drooling (and sulking) over not being able to find a reasonably-priced set for quite some time — well, just a few months, really, but these pair specifically have a very fast appreciation rate. At last, I was able to find a good priced pair from one of the local Tomica collectors/sellers’ group (Tomica … Continue reading →

Tomica Haul – 2017 Jan 31

I was able to find some desirable loose regulars at Shangri-la mall earlier. Despite being there countless times, even passing by it almost everyday on my way to/from work, it was actually my first time finding the Toys section of its Rustan’s department store. 🙂 Honda Insight #20 Suzuki Swift #36 Toyota Prius Alpha #86 Toyota Prius Alpha (Special Color) … Continue reading →

Tomica Haul – 2017 Jan 22

Earlier today, I went on a quick biking session to Robinson’s Place Ermita. I recently read from one of the local Tomica groups that this place also has some old stocks so I was excited to check it out. While I did not find what I was looking for (a 1st gen Honda Fit), I was still able … Continue reading →

Tomica [and Hot Wheels] – 2017 Jan 15

Okay, so I ate my words (sort of). It was one of my personal limitations NOT to buy Hot Wheels when I got into collecting Tomica. However, on this fateful day, I actually bought a couple of Hot Wheels. I went into the Manila Hobbies and Collectibles Convention 2017 with the intention of looking for Tomica. The … Continue reading →

Tomica Collection

I’m a hobbyist/collector of sorts, mostly with things that interest me. One of the last few things I “collected” were Gundam model kits, which I started way back in elementary (mid-90s). For the past few yrs, I went deeper with my Gundam hobby by going more with painting/detailing route, rather than the simple build-and-display. However, due to lack … Continue reading →

Zero or Low Disk Usage Issue in Steam

Aha, almost had no post for 2016! Actually, I’m writing another entry, but this should be quicker. 🙂 These past few days, I suddenly noticed that my Steam client’s download “Disk Usage”stats was zero or had very low bytes. First thing I suspected was a bad disk, given that the HDD containing my Steam directory died around … Continue reading →

Of Sports Cams and SJCAMs

Updated: 4/4/2015 below 😉 For the past few months, I’ve been on a look out for a good (car) dash digital video recorder (aka DVR). If you drive in Metro Manila, you know you need one. A basic-generic car DVR costs around P600 from Lazada, the same thing costs around P1,500 in Banawe. A good … Continue reading →

Happy 2015!

Well, this is awkward. It’s already Feb 2015 and I’m only posting this now haha! Starting the blogging year 2015 by posting a photo from my annual fireworks display shoot. Cheers!
