Jollibee Kiddie Meal: RIO 2

Date of Release: April 1, 2014

Just after I completed the Super Mario figures from McDonald's, I saw a commercial that Jollibee Kiddie Meal is offering 3 toys from the movie RIO 2. I acted as if I wasn't interested, but last night before going home, I asked Doc M if we can have dinner in Jollibee. 

Suprisingly, Blu the Spix's Macau toy was already out of stock, even though it was only released last April 1st. So I was only able to get Rafael the Bird and Gabi the Frog. They are cute and their sizes are comparable to the toys of McDo. However, when they were handed to me, both toys were light. I have written about it from my previous blogs, and the quality of the Jollibee toys haven't changed. They are still these "seems so fragile" toys that would easily be destroyed if toddlers are the ones who play with them. 

Despite, they were able to put a smile on Baby G's face when I showed them to her. She immediately asked me to keep them in her toy box. I will be taking photos of them and will post here.

McDonald's Happy Meal: Super Mario

Date of Release: March 29, 2009

Last Monday (March 31st) Doc M and I headed to McDonald's so he may have dinner. There was a party in the office so I was full and just opted to accompany him. Upon entering the store, it was then that I found out that they have a new set of toys for their Happy Meal - the Super Mario figures! Oh yes, I had to defy Doc M's craving for a cheeseburger meal and insisted to order 3 burger Mcdo Happy Meal. In as much as I wanted to get them all right away, it was simply impractical to do so because I wasn't really hungry then. We just had to bring home the extra 2 burgers as my system was unable to take in more food.

Day 1 (March 31)

I got *Mario with Pipe, *Mario with Goal Pole and *Yoshi (the Dinosaur). Arriving home, I showed it to Baby G who was then got excited and asked if she could open them already. I said no, and told her that we have to complete all 8 figures first before we open them. The little lady understood and did not insist on opening them, but kept on asking why we couldn't open them. She was contented to get the same answer everytime.

Day 2 (April 1)

Expectedly, I had my breakfast at McDonald's again and got the 4-pc. mini pancakes Happy Meal. I didn't like the other breakfast offers. Then in the evening, Doc M and I had dinner at McDo again but was only able to get 3 toys because Peach, the Princess was already out of stock.

I got *Mario with ? Block for breakfast. It actually ran out of stock that I requested for the one on display instead. In the evening, *Boomerang Mario, *Fire Mario and *Penguin Mario. 

When I got home, Baby G hurriedly went downstairs while asking me if I was able to get all to complete the 8. I told her that one was out of stock. I told her that we could already open all even though we lack 1 figure. The little lady was firm in saying "no" because we have to complete all 8. Oh boy! My EQ is much lower than the 4-year old, but I have no other choice now but to complete them.

And now I am on my day 3, and I won't go home until I get Peach the Princess. 

I will be taking photos once I completed them, so you may expect an update to this blog by the end of this week. 

Ciao!

Yamato: 1/6 WIld Western PEACE MAKER BOUNTY HUNTER

These are Clint Eastwood and Sharon stone dolls or you may call them figures I guess. They go by the characters George and Kelly.

I am a boring blogger today and I do apologize if I tell you to check their details in google as there are quite a number of ebay sellers offering these dolls.

I got them less than five years ago and I actually got 2 Kelly dolls, which the other one I opened already. However, I don't have photos of the opened doll. 

Please see their photos below:

Friday and Saturday

It's Saturday. I am at home. My free day.

The past weeks have been stressful. Weekends going out of town, in malls, outside the house. Extreme demands from the office where things are expected to be delivered ASAP! Yesterday was sort of a wake up call.

February 14th (Friday). For most, it's Valentine's Day. For me, just an ordinary day. You may call me bitter, but it's an event for business-minded people. It's a day for people who are into the following business: flowers, chocolates, food-restaurants, hotel-motels, spas, couriers, and so on and so forth.

Morning. I had to drag myself out of bed. Had to prepare for work. Dreading. Then I had to stand for sometime and wait for the shuttle van. Out of nowhere, I felt something fell on my forehead. I thought it was water, and to my surprise, it's a bird's 'drop'. You know what I mean. A bit traffic on the way to the office, but it was my chance to close my eyes and relax.

Afternoon. I felt headache coming in, but didn't get the chance to by medicine. Usual stuff. Nothing exciting. Didn't have a decent lunch. In the evening, the head pain got stronger, until the time Doc M fetch me. On the way home, it was so uncomfortable, wishing to be home in just a snap. I had to close my eyes to relax. Upon reaching home, I ran straight to the sink and (sorry for the word) but I had to throw up. Relief!

I understand what my body's saying. So now I am staying at home, trying to catch up with my personal errands. Reminder. I am still human.

Arranged my purse, threw away old receipts. Placed my coins in my money jar. Sorted my cards in my wallet.

Got my other bags where I'd stash stuff.  And now I am trying to clean up. Placing old clothes in a plastic bin. Throwing away papers, documents that are old. Feeling a bit better. Still I got a long way to go in organizing my stuff.

Tried blogging about Betty Spaghetty. I got more to write about. Not sure when, but 'till next!

McDonald's Happy Meal: Betty Spaghetty

I posted my Betty Spaghetty dolls previously and now it's time for the McDonald's Happy Mean version. 

I don't have the release date right now, but I will just update this post next time. 

They are four characters in this set and it's nice that they can actually stand on their own.

I have nothing much to say right now, but please look at the photos to appreciate these girls.

In as much as I would like to write more, I am afraid that I will end up not posting them. 

Ciao!

A Breather

I miss writing in this blog already. Today, I am taking a breather as work has been so demanding the past few days. Lots have happened already and several ideas are in my head, waiting to be transformed into writing. Most of all, I have lots of updates that I've been itching to share to everyone.

I have started selling online again and will be adding toys as soon as I am able to take photos of them. (This is really taking so long!)

It's really funny on having this feeling sometimes of wanting to buy extra time, just to be able to do things that I want to be doing. Then sometimes I feel like wanting to end a day immediately. 

Will be going out of town this weekend, and I am planning to bring several toys with me for pictorial. Will be bringing the laptop with me. 'Till next!

Integrity Dolls: Janay and Alyssa

I fell in love with these girls the moment I saw them on eBay US! During the time when I was so active in purchasing dolls online, I made sure that I buy them. So armed with a laptop and credit card, I bought these girls and waited for them to arrive in the mail.

In as much as I wanted to immediately open them upon claiming them at the post office, I had to stop myself from doing so in order to maintain their pristine condition. However, they were kept in the attic for sometime until such time that I decided to let go of some of my dolls. They were one of those I listed online; through our local ebay. Given their rarity, I immediately have gotten a buyer the first time I posted them. 

I sold them lower than the amount that I got them. I am not sure now on why I did that: (1) letting them go and (2) selling them low. Part of me have a little regret, but another is saying that it's okay because they might be in better hands rather than being kept in a dark attic.

I have more dolls that I need to let go, mostly are Barbie dolls. Soon!
