@iraya-sama and Fox...

I can't imagine your jobs to be much worse than mine.... I just pray that this is only in the beginning and will become better as time passes.


Rant: Not counting the good things RR has done for my poor soul, I've been having terrible luck for the past several weeks.

RAVE:

A LOL moment at GT Makati with arch_angel

BACKSTORY: arch_angel asked Cabs in Japan to look for two specific PVC statues.

Unfortunately, Cabs wasn't able to find these items in Japan (given that the otaku there outnumber us by several hundred.... thousand... I think...) arch_angel's last resort was to check the local hobby stores.

Luckily, he was able to find those exact two PVC statues at GT makati (So lucky that the items he found were the only stock remaining, and that the Yoko statue was once reserved but then got it canceled, and the Mio was accidentally sent to that store by mistake :3 )

Fast Forward to Tuesday:

Met up with arch_angel at GT Makati to pick up his prizes and I noticed two guys browsing the PVC statue shelves. I ask arch_angel when he wants to get the stuff and he replies that he wants to get them after those two guys leave.

I go up to the PVC figure shelf and wonder out loud: "I wonder who reserved those two PVC statues up there...? Damn. Whoever must have reserved those Yoko and Mio figures must be really lucky! Man, I could just kill him! "

(translated)
Dude#1: Damn it, man. That Yoko sure is RARE. There aren't any statues like that available anywhere else.

Dude#2: Yeah, and that K-On statue is sold out in Japan. I was supposed to come back for that yesterday but somebody already had it reserved!

I glance back at arch_angel.




arch_angel: ...pwned.
