At Warp Speed

There! I bought myself the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 scale model. It was a lot more expensive than I remembered. It was closer to Php6,000. Eeep!

I was in Cubao yesterday. I took the day off because I wasn’t feeling well. I didn’t go to work but went to Cubao instead, mwhahahaha. I headed straight for the specialty toy store on the second floor of Ali Mall. When I got there, it was gone! The space had been vacated; there was no sign saying where the store’s new location was. Frustrated, I decided to walk aimlessly for a few minutes while I figured out what to do next. Luckily, I stumbled upon their new location—it was on the first floor!

Gusto ni Lord na bilhin ko ang Voyager. Kaya binili ko agad-agad. Which was a good thing—that was the last stock they had. And to think their shop was technically not open yesterday; they had just moved in that morning, and they were still sorting out their stuff. But I guess I had this look on my face when I peered in and asked them, “Bukas ba kayo?” that made them answer, “Yes, po.” It took them a few minutes to make out a receipt for my purchase.

So now Captain Janeway’s ship is safely in my room, albeit in several pieces. Knowing me (knowing you, ah-haaaaaaah…) once I start I won’t stop until I finish the whole ship. So I’ll just work on it this weekend.

Engage!
