Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur

Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur,

My birthplace:
Visited this place often when I was younger, back in the days that summer time was my total free time. We had all the time to take the 9-hour travel way up north and all I do at the back of the vehicle was sleep=). When I got into college had to school because we had to take summer classes. less time to go Ilocos. Soon I'll be back to visit this place and experience the laid back life. Photos below were taken way back 2009 and 2010 on our trips to our province:

Toycon 2013

At long last my first experience with Toycon 2013!!!!
Visited the event twice this year first last Friday, June 14 and then Sunday, June 16, 2013
Venue: SM Megatrade Hall Building B
Toy fanatics from everywhere gathered in this annual event.
I'm still in love with Lego ....if I can only afford to buy all Lego sets with cars
This event also featured model makers (guys that can create life-size superheroes or even bigger depending on clients' request),  toy collectors and their prized collection displayed in the event, online sellers of action figures, cosplayers, cosplay costume designers and accessory retailers, clothes and apparel, comic books, video games, gadgets, food stalls and of course toys of all kinds.

Interesting thing was there were more adults buying toys for themselves than kids.

Toys with comics and cartoon model figures galore!
