An afternoon of Magic with Kel and Jay!

Too bad I just saw this today. I already told Oui I’d be going with her tomorrow at Cubao Shoe Expo. But if it’s ok with Kel for me to just drop by, I probably will XD Habol na lang ako. Thanks to Ligaya for the info :)

Kel and Jay are the new, up and coming tandem who are bringing the fun back in magic and mentalism. From escapology to mind-reading to metal bending, this team is out to make their mark in the industry, and the first step is the Pre-Launch Party… the very party you’re invited to right now!

What: Pre-Launch Party for Kel and Jay’s “Magic and Comedy Night” show. Free food, free drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic…), free magic, what more could you ask for? =P

When: 28 June 2008, assembly at a pre-agreed meeting point at 4 PM up to whenever.

Where: Jay Mata’s house at 11-B 9th Street, Rolling Hills, New Manila, Quezon City.

Wear: Anything you don’t mind being caught on camera, really. Yes, even the HG costume.

Bring: Nothing required other than yourselves, and maybe some DVDs if you want to watch anything in between shoots.

Don’t miss out on this! Be part of the first audiences to be wowed by the Kel and Jay tandem act. RSVP only, please. =D

FAQS:

* YES, you can invite your other friends to go. In fact, it’s highly recommended.
* YES, it’s a party with magic thrown in for good measure.
* NO, if you don’t want to drink alcoholic drinks (I know I won’t.), you don’t have to.
* YES, you can go to St. Paul’s QC (Near the Gilmore station of LRT2) and text Kel at 0917-8359426 if you want to go to the party and need to be picked up to be taken to the house.
* YES, they can pick you up from elsewhere, but they need a longer heads-up time and not something like “Hi Kel, I wanna go to your party but I’m stuck at halfway around the Philippines, can you pick me up right now please?”
* YES, they really need guests. The camera crew has been accounted for (and these are pros based on what I’ve heard), so if nobody shows up, I’d be a sad panda…

If you have any questions, just PM Kel at http://meriadok.multiply.com, or text him ASAP at 0917-8359426. Hope to see you guys there! ;D

My first Stikfas

The Pinkies meet my very first Stikfas

I couldn’t help but think that they’re saying these things:

Rie (Rui): Meet Betty, our new friend. She’s a Stikfas.
Tanya (Tamae SL): Uh, hi there, Betty. I hope your joints are ok.
Rylee (Reina): You sure look bendy…
Tami (Tamae): What’s a Stikfas?
Betty: …………….. *sweatdrop*

I couldn’t help but get a Stikfas tonight. I am feeling nervous about Friday morning so I just have to have something to quieten my nerves. The girls are really awesome and they look cute but there’s something charming about a small Stikfas which has joints you could move and play with. And you could also mod a Stikfas into whatever you want so it’s that kind of thing which makes me go ballistic and buy one. I almost bought two tonight but maybe next pay day. A regular Stikfas is 199 pesos in Hobbes so it’s definitely cheaper than any Pinky Street doll. Unless we’re talking about fakeys ^^;; I kinda want the ninja one but it’s ~400 pesos. I still want other pinkies and I need to buy materials for accessories I want to make and I am planning to buy copies of Inkheart (which I heard is really good). Also, Stikfas seem like a good thing to help us draw people in various poses because of their joints and how flexible they are. I’d mod Betty but I still have other projects in mind ^^;

Rie at Sun Tech Days

Rie poses with Duke

Who said Pinky Street dolls are just about being cute? :P Rie was with me the whole day today and she will still be with me tomorrow when I listen to sessions on Web 2.0 technologies.

New Pinkies in the house: Reina and Super Lovers Tamae

Reina and SL Tamae join my Pinky Street girls

At long last, after putting dibs on them, I got Reina and Super Lovers Tamae from Rotch! I met her at Toy Con and I also picked up Risa for Marj.

I wasn’t really thinking about getting Reina because there’s a Reina in yukata and I wanted to get that Pinky more than I wanted to get Reina. However, I need her face and hair for something. And I wanted to make my sister’s Akito wear a matching orange jacket for his pants. I don’t want to see him in the straight jacket all the time, you know. As for SL Tamae, she’s really cute. I wish I could buy all the Super Lovers Pinky Street dolls but I just got my Aya and paid for the two other Haruhi pinkies, Yuki Nagato and Tsuruya-san.

I am loving the SL Tamae a lot. ♥ I am bringing her to work tomorrow, as well as Tamae. So the four Pinkies who will accompany me to work are: Rui, SL Tamae, Tamae and Reina. :D

Anyhow, I had fun taking pictures of the new girls in my sister’s room, against the manga and books on her more organized shelf.

SL Tamae and her shadow

Reina and her shadow

Both pictures show each Pinky Street doll with her shadow. :) Reina is going to be named Rylee while SL Tamae will be called Tanya. She and Tami are twin sisters. ^_^ But I could still tell them apart because Tami has the thicker outline around her eyes.

Some photos from ToyCon 2008

So many people, so many toys, so little time! I wish I was there in Megamall earlier so I could have seen if there was anyone selling Re-ment. Anyhow, I picked up two of my new Pinkies from Rotch! She was there around the time my sister and our friends were just about to enter the hall so it was great timing.

On to the pictures:
"I am prettier than you!"

My sister and her BIG FLUFFY PIYOPIYO PLUSHIE FTW!!!!!!!!! Of course, she really had to buy this plushie. She couldn’t resist. And it was cheap too! It was just 350pesos.

Not sure about the anime/game/manga they’re from but they look cute ne?

Random photos I took simply because I liked what they were wearing:

For more of the Toy Con pics I took, you could check them out in my Flickr photo set of ToyCon 2008. :)

I regret the following about the ToyCon though:

  1. There is no Kalye Pinky booth :(
  2. I wasn’t there early enough to check if there were Re-ment stuff for sale.
  3. I didn’t buy a Manikako doll kit. :( :( :( But Sean that his cousin ran that booth and he’d give word about my interest!
  4. I didn’t see Stikfas :(I suppose there were Stikfas there but because of the crowd, I didn’t see any.
  5. I didn’t bring my other officemates along with me because they’d enjoy seeing all those cosplays and toys.
  6. I didn’t see Kel and Sean :(

Things I am happy about yesterday’s ToyCon:

  1. I got a 2oz Sculpey Premo pack for testing.
  2. My sister got a cute Piyopiyo
  3. We saw lots of cute plushies!!!!! My eyes were checking them out!
  4. I ran into some of my online contacts and a few RL buddies.
  5. I saw a booth showcasing the works of Alfredo Alcala.
  6. I saw HardGay and his bouncers ;)

Maybe next year? I suppose there’d be better stuff! And I’d watch out for them :D
