Moonlight Miracle!

It was last March 7. I was going home from work when I spotted what I can call a childhood dream: a Sailormoon figurine from Japan.

Cheap it was. Around Php 750.

Gosh, I was... you know... happier than the time I got that book. I always wanted to buy a Sailormoon action figure. Well you see, I had a post from last year about it. So the happy kid I am... really had my luck.


And yeah, I've got a little fun fact to go with it. March 7th 1992 was the first broadcast of the Sailormoon animated series in Japan.

And here's the Moon Princess! (sorry for the crappy background on the first one. I was trying to be as resourceful as I can, you know)

And this one... uh...please ignore the background. I made a post about it already:

The background on this pic here is from The Beatles Anthology. And a bonus Luna included. :)

And there ya have it! It's now placed quietly on a shelf here in our bedroom. And that's your happy Patty today. 

Sweet Soul Review: 40 Years Of Queen

And as a continuation of my random musings today, here's my review of that splendid-looking book titled "40 Years of Queen"

I was inspired by this post due to the nice review so it kinda got me thinking: this book is worth a read. So I reserved a copy of the book (this link is where I placed my order), did my stuff while waiting... and then I got an SMS notification saying that the order's waiting for me.



And well, dahlings, I got it! Here it is in it's royal glory:






So here's what the book has:

• Pics of the band from their photo-vaults
• Replicas of tour tickets, concert program cards, handwritten letters and song lyrics
• Promo posters
• and a CD containing a 1977 interview from BBC Radio One

Most of the written stuff in this book was written by a music journalist who's a Queen fan himself, but the book is published in the name of Queen. Nothing new to know about the guys, but what's really great is this 1976 fan club poster:

And my younger sister's only description of the book is that "it's the best fan book I've seen".

It's about Queen's history and continuing legacy (thanks to us, fellow Queenies) and of course, their epic music. I know how bad it turned out for them in 1991, but what mattered was that they lasted.

The book is very pro-Queen, with one pic of Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson and a section on Bohemian Rhapsody and their Live Aid 1985 performance. So now you see why Queen is a band not easy to get bored to or forget, especially that they have *that lead singer*. And *that bassist*. And *that lead guitarist*. And *that drummer*.

It would be much better if Dr Brian May and Roger Taylor had written in some stuff aside from the foreword, so I'm just gonna give this book a 4.5 stars rating.

Well anyways, it's a great thing to have it aside from the fact I bought from my first payslip in a year, and this book is guaranteed to increase the Queen appreciation more.

I'll be doing another review, and it's gonna be for The Beatles Anthology. Will be done most likely a few months from now, so lemme finish it first ok? 

Patty

a long time coming.

Hello. 

Right now I'll be out in a few hours, getting my pay and will be shopping for a new pair of shoes.

Patty's got a salary you ask? 

Yep, and it's like my 5th one.

Well, last January this year I decided to get a job and happened to land here and the company does outsourcing stuff mostly with well-known companies.

Right now I'm with these guys, most of them newbies to the outsourcing industry. 
Our current client is a major telecommunications company. I'm located where the purple circle is placed in this pic below:

So ever since I've had this job, I wasn't able to update this bloggy and the others as well. But the best part of me having an active worklife is that thing called salary, which aside from the slender, green one with lots of vitamins, is a good thing. 

And one thing I'm currently enjoying is this book, in which I'll do a review in a bit. 

Last thing. I've been in the workplace for almost 4 months now. It's a milestone for me!

At least I'm doing something relevant.
