Start The Countdown

Starwars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Two days and I'm good to go to the premiere showing of Starwars Episode III in Megamall. I already got the tickets I asked a friend to reserve for me so I might as well start the countdown! Yey! I rarely allot a vacation leave for a movie but heck this is Starwars baby! I even had submitted my vacation leave for Wednesday two weeks earlier.

Hindi naman masyado excited no?

Jollibee Kiddie Meal

This night I bought a Burger Kiddie Meal in Jollibee - Philippine First Ayala Branch. Nah, hindi ako bumalik sa pagkabata. It's just that their latest gimmick is Starwars Episode III figures. Back in the Starwars Episode II years, they've also released a 5-figure collection which included Padme Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C3P0, R2D2, and Anakin Skywalker. I got em all five and is in display here on my office desk, and this time there's no reason why I should not purchase the latest collections too.

I started with the cudly Jedi Master, Yoda and the figure comes of with a 20-inch tape measure as a base. Darth Vader, you're next!

Magic the Gathering - Saviours of Kamigawa Pre-Release Tournament

*jargon alert*
Magic the Gathering (MTG) - the Philippine's leading card game - will release its latest expansion Saviours of Kamigawa this May 21 and 22 in SM Southmall and SM Centerpoint, respectively. Saviours of Kamigawa is the third and last installation from the "Kamigawa" block; the first two are Champions of Kamigawa and Betrayers of Kamigawa, in which I have played on both's Pre-Release Tournaments.

Actually, I am already selling some of my MTG cards to pave way for my latest hobby (Warhammer 40,000) but just to "keep up" with the trends in my old hobby, I always participated in MTG Pre-Release Tournaments. It serves to refresh my skills in playing the game and to be updated with the upcoming rules variations and cards errata.

Upon registration, players will be given three packs of 15 cards and a special alternate-art rare foil card from the latest expansion, so participants will got to enjoy and preview the goodies firsthand. After a four-round special Swiss draft tourney, players that will end-up with a sweep win will grab an additional commemorative MTG Pre-Release tshirt while every one win entitles a participant to take home another pack from the pre-release expansion. Fair enough for a fun game.

Of course, this kind of tournaments encourage players to come out of their own hobbying circle and interact with almost everyone from the hobbying community here in the metro. Me and my bestfriend will attend the second day of the tournament in SM Southmall on the 22nd, that's a Sunday. I am already scouting for any latest MTG preview cards and Pre-Release tips in the internet to prepare myself. I want that tshirt to brag around. =)
