PHils Holiday-Pic HEAVY warning!!!!
Erm not sure where to post this so I put it here, mods feel free to move it around just please dont delete hehehehe

Well, I’ve been saving up my Annual leave last year so I can get some holidays during Xmas season in the Philippines. Luckily my leave got approved. Expensive though the airfare, I certainly was excited. Last 2008 when I went for a holiday, there were lots of toy/hobbyshops that have sprouted up adding more choice for the local toy collectors. Price wise, they are, shall we say a little bit less than our retail here. Also December was Xmas Toys and gifts fair time. SO many toys and geek stuff so overloading to the senses I ended up forgetting to take a lot of pics. I also went to a mini meet with members of TFPH – Transformers Philippines at the fair.

This year there are indeed some more changes namely with the addition of R-Toys. This shop alone is a very good resource of TFs toys, great robots etc. I avoided going to the department store shops – TRU, Toy Kingdom, SM as they usually have only the latest TFs. I’m more after older TFs resulting in me not getting to buy much, if any at all as I wanted to concentrate on what I have on my list. Also, since its Xmas season, there were lots of “tiangge” (flea market stalls) in the malls which were selling lots of other stuff . I ended up buying more Phil Handicrafts :P for my house rather than toys hehehe.

Anyways enough rant. Here are the pics of my meager TF haul, and some shots of the toyshops and from the fair at Megatrade Hall, some Xmas décor from local municipal hall, our backyard ( newly relandscaped – Storm Ondoy really messed it up) etc etc. Pardon if some are blurry I don’t have a very good camera  which is why I failed to capture the excitement and ambiance of being there, sigh. Anyways, still enjoy the pics guys.
