I got this from a gacha machine at SM North Edsa. I was actually hoping to get another figure, but I wasn't disappointed at all that I got this instead.

Toy Kingdom's Toy Festival Sale!


I was attending an event at SM Megamall yesterday when I learned that Toy Kingdom has a toy sale called "TOY Festival". Items included in the sale are Play-doh, Transformers, Marvel toys, Disney and Kidshop. You can save up to 70% off on selected items. The sale runs from April 30 to May 31, 2009 at the 2nd floor Bridgeway of SM Megamall.

Punta na!

Happy Easter!!!




I just want to greet everyone a Happy Easter! I hope everyone went home with loads of Easter eggs in their baskets!

These easter eggs contained One-Piece gachas. I got them at SM ToyKingdom, and gave them as gifts at a Christmas party 2 years ago. I bought a total of 5 eggs , I think. Originally, I wanted to place them in a basket lined with shredded paper, to make it look like the eggs are in a nest.

Unfortunately for me, I couldn't find the basket that I wanted so I decided to wrap it some other way. I think I wrapped it in a brown paper bag which I line with some scrap/tissue paper to make it look like I bought it at a stall in the market.

WIN A TOY SHOPPING SPREE @ SM TOY KINGDOM


I was walking through The Block at SM North Edsa when someone handed me a Toy Kingdom Summer catalog. On the back is an ad for one of their promos called "Win A Toy Shopping Spree".

Prizes at stake are over Php 3 million. Every Php 500 single receipt purchase entitles you to join. They will draw 204 winners, and each winner will get Php 15,000 each. You can double your chances of winning when you present your SM Advantage Card, SM Prestige, or BDO Rewards Card.

The promo runs from March 1-April 30, 2009.

April Fools!



This little fellow is a Happy Meal freebie from McDonald's that I got about 4 or 5 years ago. It has wheels underneath and when you roll it, the horns on top of the head bob up and down. This photo is the most jester-like I could find from my collection, so I thought this would be appropriate for today.

Happy April Fools Day everyone!
