the first two times i've been there, it was closed. i should have memorised the note on the glass door: "OPEN ON TUESDAYS TO SATURDAYS" 

well, i was finally able to go there last friday. hurrah!!! (i was supposed to head straight home after staying at iks' place to fix her pc. and since she was in a  lamyerda mood, she didn't mind the detour at marikina shoe expo. hehehe)

i felt like a kid again. i ogled at every shelf, every boxed toy, everything! it was really heartbreaking because the merchandise there are expensive!!!!!

BUT... i found the ones I am willing to buy. there were several Hayao Miyazaki stuff and a couple of Nightmare Before Christmas trinkets that I'd like to acquire... oooohhhh... i bet the framed "spirited away" poster  they have is perfect on my bedroom walls. hmmmmmmm....

read about cubao x (that's what the artsy shops in marikina shoe expo's called)... they're worth checking out. promise.
