It never fails to amuse me why this annual affair creates so much hype online.<span style=""> </span>Honestly, my impression before of Toy Convention is that it’s the yearly meeting of people who could spend extra money on expensive toys and businessmen who take advantage of its commercial success.<br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gfRnMeE1CNI/Tf81BLI_cVI/AAAAAAAAAZo/vPzg15Ob734/s1600/IMG_9357OK.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 421px; height: 220px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gfRnMeE1CNI/Tf81BLI_cVI/AAAAAAAAAZo/vPzg15Ob734/s320/IMG_9357OK.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620269154268311890" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Whether it's because of Filipinos' love for status symbol or just plain band-wagoners' delight, I decided to check out the event and see for myself why Philippine ToyCon is a thriving industry for 10 years now.</div><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5qkRR6328AM/Tf889GVHDOI/AAAAAAAAAaI/r0_LF4hVfFM/s1600/IMG_9431.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 379px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5qkRR6328AM/Tf889GVHDOI/AAAAAAAAAaI/r0_LF4hVfFM/s320/IMG_9431.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620277880350510306" border="0" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">While taking some shots, I slowly observe what might be the possible motivation of Filipinos attending these Toy Conventions. I saw the discreet joy on the faces of people around despite the busy atmosphere engulfing the place. <span style=""> </span>Have you ever seen a child at the toy store eagerly staring at his favourite toy? It is exactly the same aura you would feel in a Toy Convention.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qiGPyAp9_kY/Tf831ZW5SzI/AAAAAAAAAaA/82CcDTq0WoM/s1600/IMG_9358OK.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 409px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qiGPyAp9_kY/Tf831ZW5SzI/AAAAAAAAAaA/82CcDTq0WoM/s320/IMG_9358OK.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620272250461178674" border="0" /></a></div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">ToyCon turns our childhood fantasies into reality. Where in the world can you dress up like Green Lantern as an adult aside from attending Halloween street parties? ToyCon brings out the inner child in each one of us. <span style=""> </span>It depicts the convergence of culture from various enthusiasts like toy collectors, photographers, designers, cosplayers and entrepreneurs. <span style=""> </span>Above all, ToyCon is the yearly celebration of the creative pulse of Filipinos regardless of age and economic background.</p><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UipShqkU1oY/Tf81BVPJwLI/AAAAAAAAAZw/oALFFfpI6Os/s1600/IMG_9307OK.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 241px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UipShqkU1oY/Tf81BVPJwLI/AAAAAAAAAZw/oALFFfpI6Os/s320/IMG_9307OK.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620269156978507954" border="0" /></a><br /></div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span></span> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mkVMI-mYTfo/Tf8vbUOOWQI/AAAAAAAAAZY/D4CkltgVWLA/s1600/IMG_9281OK.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 251px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mkVMI-mYTfo/Tf8vbUOOWQI/AAAAAAAAAZY/D4CkltgVWLA/s320/IMG_9281OK.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620263006313011458" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">Being cynical at first, I was reminded later on by events like ToyCon on how to let loose and be child once again.

Well, strangely I just did. My first blog dated October 9, 2007. I remember it was the day when I got back from my usual Sunday obligation teary-eyed and sad. I felt the need to write that time because I miss seeing my family in a church pew exchanging kisses while saying peace-be-with-yous. After posting my first blog, there was a sense of relief and catharsis. (Hallelujah--singing angels) Alas! I found a consoling friend in a form of a notepad. Yes you got it right, a notepad!<br /><br />Since then, blogging became the Zarzuela of words running in my head as the blinking cursor on the screen immortalizes each eager step. Painstakingly, that’s how my virtual dancing career started… and the rest is Biology??? (Darn! Now I know why SNL gives out big fat pay checks. @#*! ) So much for the Humor blog plans… (doh)<br /><br />Seriously, I’m not the mawkish type (not funny!) but matter of factly, four days from this day, my blogspot account will celebrate its third year anniversary. I should be uber excited, proud or maybe even overtly fervent but as I revisit my blog archive, it felt as if my posted thoughts are on its way to oblivion. I realized that majority of my posts are on the dark side. What gives? Two striking quotes from revered master Yoda, “Anger, fear, aggression, the dark side are they” and “The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is."<br /><br />As trivial it may seem, I’ve been nursing these pent-up emotions for all these years. More so, my blog screams negativism in Morpheus' literary. (POI! places hand on head)There is nothing wrong in being pessimistic or sporting the I-hate-the-world attitude once in a while but being stuck in such state for the longest phase is living death. <br /><br />As I embark on the metamorphosis of my personal blog, I seek healing and forgiveness in life. With future on sight, my literary dancing begins…I’d wear my shiny ruby slippers and vow never to take it off again …Oh and I hear Glinda calls… (Keeping everything crossed) Wisdom in healing...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2231618209289251205-3857280716172364751?l=nurseyapi.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lNYuM51TXvMUOOTw8yEIIZTtVAU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lNYuM51TXvMUOOTw8yEIIZTtVAU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lNYuM51TXvMUOOTw8yEIIZTtVAU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lNYuM51TXvMUOOTw8yEIIZTtVAU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nurseyapi/~4/z0ovPyNpLKk" height="1" width="1"/>Pia Athena Pelayohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12203999987903826272noreply@blogger.com3http://nurseyapi.blogspot.com/2010/10/athena-goes-to-panacea.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231618209289251205.post-30882584533261229852010-08-26T16:50:00.000-07:002010-08-26T16:50:16.935-07:002010-08-26T16:50:16.935-07:00<object style="background-image:url(http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/uW54JVGmuVA/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uW54JVGmuVA?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uW54JVGmuVA?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=nurseyapi-20&o=1&p=13&l=ur1&category=mp3&banner=049KFEESVHAF56XHD5R2&f=ifr" width="468" height="60" scrolling="no" border="0" marginwidth="0" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2231618209289251205-3088258453326122985?l=nurseyapi.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rJpumotu4bdOIGyLS_zflNJISbQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rJpumotu4bdOIGyLS_zflNJISbQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rJpumotu4bdOIGyLS_zflNJISbQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rJpumotu4bdOIGyLS_zflNJISbQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nurseyapi/~4/wr5lPTiYQT0" height="1" width="1"/>Pia Athena Pelayohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12203999987903826272noreply@blogger.com0http://nurseyapi.blogspot.com/2010/08/global-fund-together-we-can-do-great.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231618209289251205.post-91436056039511740362010-06-18T15:36:00.000-07:002010-06-21T01:49:26.149-07:002010-06-21T01:49:26.149-07:00<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=nurseyapi-20&o=1&p=13&l=ur1&category=mp3&banner=049KFEESVHAF56XHD5R2&f=ifr" width="468" height="60" scrolling="no" border="0" marginwidth="0" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><br />Everything is going to be alright. Before you break into singing, let me tell you that this isn't one of your reggae songs and I'm sorry for ruining your karaoke moment. Its just these words are running through my head for a couple of weeks now. No I will not whine about all the negative things in this cruel world nor think of slashing my wrist. For Pete's sake I'm done with all those emo shit. My mind is talking endlessly again and maybe just maybe a parcel of venting off about it won't hurt. Cigarettes are a thing of a past and besides that's what my asthma is telling me all the time.<br /><br />I dunno if it is only me or have you ever felt that the time is so fuckin' slow but when you look at your Facebook account it seems that everything is on fast forward mode? When I click on Home, most of my "friends" are getting hitched. What the hell? Is there any truth with this end-of-the-world thingy that makes everybody marry somebody? Just try to look at the profile pictures of your friends. Can't it not make you say "Congratulations! You're still in the running to become America's Next Top Model'. Oh well if I'd talk about the things I observe in those social network sites, blogspot will have its own downtime. (mods please do not delete my post!*evil grin*)<br /><br />I am okay. Fine! I'm trying to be a bit okay. I have torrent who nourishes my ears with good quality music and my eyes with out-this-world-humor TV series. I find solace in keeping silent while cussing the world inside my brain. I still scribble shitty stuff when days are not favorable to me. Being a mom doesn't exclude you from being yourself. I still do the chores and even If I'd cut myself in half, it wouldn't still be enough. Issues of getting fat, growing old, career pressure, bills, bills and more bills. All these things just make you sing "wouldn't be nice to be together" by the Beach Boys. Reality check I am alive and yeah I'll get by. It's just one of those days. Oh and I remember my mom would always tell me whenever I blaspheme myself out in frustration, "Pia thats very unladylike of you". With an evil smirk, mentally I would reply "Oh yes mom, I'm one fine lady!"<br /><br />So much about typing, my son is now pestering me for attention.lol<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1'

class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I just checked my calendar and was stunned that a month has passed. It is the first day of February and when I was about to make a post about my personal New Year’s resolution, I realized that I am way behind this must-to-do list. Oh yes, I am a victim of those psychologically motivated planners (not excluding that hardbound and too-big-to-fit my shoulder bag Starbucks Planner). The challenge of having the right sticker (which I wasn’t aware before) and squeezing my monthly budget is a classic act all together. Reality check, my planner is hibernating its way into the realm of trash haven. These things are good examples of commodities that you would really love to have but you know you wouldn’t actually use them. <br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Hmmm, maybe that should be the start of my resolution. First on my list is to buy things that I would really want and would actually use them at the same time (as if). Okay, so much about deviating from my post’s purpose.

It has been months and to make it exact,5  months since my last post. A lot has changed in my life.New career, new interests and even new set of friends. I for myself cannot comprehend it. Now,I am starting to know things that are so irrelevant to my nursing profession. There is really a humongous world out there,outside the realms of Nursing! Immediately, I somewhat feel for Jojo's character (son of the Mayor of Whoville)  in "Horton Hears a Who".  So much for the song "It's a Small World (After all)"<div><br /></div><div>Technology isn't it a bitch? All the while, I thought technology would only consume you as much but believe me, it never will. It is like a hunger pang that stretches and exceeds the capacity of your stomach like that of a blackhole.  Maybe there is such a thing as "Technology Gluttony" I dunno.. I think it is another blog worthy topic yet to be posted.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am not an ingrate recipient of this man-made wonder. Actually, I appreciate it so much to the point of having the need to hate it.  Technology is so much influential in my life now. It is an inexorable part of me.

My self queries are so screwed up that sometimes i just don't want to think about anything else but to go on. Dilemma is my cup of tea. Shall i take the blue pill or the red pill? A hunting and isochronal question that reverberates in my brain like what Morpheus overtly asked in Matrix. My mind screams--GO BACK to the BASICS.My FAITH--->PATIENCE (Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer) My LOVE--> HOPE. These are the sturdy armors of my lucidity.<br />I must admit I am a victim of "beyond appreciation of things" around me. I cannot think of any reason behind it but I honestly believe that is the same reason that makes me grounded. Going back, the questions that seeks answers are the very same questions that answers me. I maybe stuck in this phase in my life but who is complaining anyway. I live for myself and my son. Although my so called-"marriage" is far cry from my convoluted stomach, I am still smitten by true love. For now everything else is transitory.I'm taking each day with a grain of salt and with that I obscurely submerge my inhibitions. Still satirically stumped and yet so fortunate.............................................................................................................<br /><br />I thank God for nicotine and caffeine......Ora et Labora<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2231618209289251205-9171306441782578073?l=nurseyapi.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/117hGV8D7YFIYeqqNWYtm_kv_Q4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/117hGV8D7YFIYeqqNWYtm_kv_Q4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/117hGV8D7YFIYeqqNWYtm_kv_Q4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/117hGV8D7YFIYeqqNWYtm_kv_Q4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nurseyapi/~4/enguMIpagW0" height="1" width="1"/>Pia Athena Pelayohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12203999987903826272noreply@blogger.com0http://nurseyapi.blogspot.com/2008/10/and-yet-im-so-fortunate.html
