Calling it

I am sure by now you have seen the latest episode of Game of Thrones. ( I meant season 7 episode2) That was it, I am sure Greyworm is going to have something major happen to him this season.  That makes me really happy that I recently snagged a Greyworm pop. -before prices soar, and the pop becomes rare.

hello Greyworm!

Also, I was surprised to see two GOT pops in the 2017SDCC lineup!-It was not announced!!!

the two GOT funko in 2017 SDCC

It included a black Night King and The Mountain in armor! I already have the regular Night King, so I am not going to get the black version. But the Mountain in armor, I had to track it down. *I honestly never cared for the character and the first Mountain pop they released, but this armored version IMHO is way better than the first. 

My collection needs this!

After a quick phone call to our “favorite” toy shop in Greenhills. We have the armored mountain on preorder. Sure it is a bit more expensive but still, we would love to have that on our collection.

This would be the second exclusive pop in my collection after the nycc2015 Iron Throne.

Now we wait for the toys.

winter came

Our favorite series is back! I watched Game of Thrones Season 7 premiere last night and I cannot wait for the next episode!!! excited much?! 

So, I will not spoil the show in case you haven’t seen it yet.  I am here to update my Game of Thrones Funko Pop collection.

My GOT pop wishlist! -only a few more.

Right before the season 7 premiere, Kei and I went on a pop haul in Greenhills. Getting 4 pops in one go. We have Night King, Grey Worm, Margaery Tyrell, and Stannis Baratheon. We took the chance to buy now before the price shoots up.

our haul!

Well technically we got 5, four GOT pops and a freebie. We got a Marvel pop as the freebie- a Yellow jacket to be with our Ant man.

The feeling when looking for new Pops -Looking to the east, looking to the west, looking to the south, looking to the north… We will find the Pops. *A parody on Cersei’s  “Enemies to the east, enemies to the west, Enemies to the south, enemies to the north. Whatever stands in our way, we will defeat it.”*

We saw Tywin Lannister but it was priced at 750php so that could wait. Petyr Baelish was nowhere to be found.

I have 2 pops (Tormund Giantsbane- to pair with my Brienne of Tarth, and Cersei Lannister- the one with the crown) on pre-order from my cousin Jacky in the US. Pretty excited for these two. 

Still wishing that they create a new version of Sansa Stark in the new garb!

calling Funko! please create a (red head/badass) Sansa Stark pop!

Still looking for a decently priced Joffrey Baratheon and Ned Stark though. Any leads?

embracing florals

No use fighting it. Colorful floral prints are in.

Most shop windows are blooming with florals weather it be large brightly colored prints, embroidery or patches. But flower prints are not that easy to wear, there is a huge possibility that the nice dress would  look “granny-ish” once worn. That being said, I do not have florals in my closet. I do have floral inspired earrings though. 

When you tell me floral, this is all I have. (unless you count chinoiserie toile as floral then, I have two florals) I tend to go safe when it comes to following the trend. -unless I really really dig the current trend. 

embroidered floral on dark chambray polo – my first attempt at floral. 

 

But when I saw this picture. I know I need to get one. Hello to huge bright floral prints!

I got this bold floral on gingham print dress because Pia Wurtzbach is looking good wearing it! Shallow reason, but to be fair I recently watched her life story so maybe that was it? I am going to wear mine with Fitflops!-Photo of Pia from the internet.

Quickly ordered one online and discovered that I lack the height. So, I will be taking the dress to the alteration shop to get it shortened to (my) knee length.

Because I have started with one floral dress, its going to have more for company. I got another floral dress, shorter this time and in a more tropical vibe.

Taming the florals with a denim jacket and keeping it all together with wedges.

I have also been contemplating on getting more floral pieces. Might as well join in the fray.

*I get to watch the first episode of Game of Thrones season 7 later! yey! -Will be posting about the new additions to my Funko Pop collection soon.

Interruption

I am struggling with my asthma lately; I blame it on the moody weather. Since I am not feeling that well I have been a hermit. Most days were “take-out food days” but on days when I feel like myself I go back to cooking, this time I tried to do traditional Chinese comfort food with some success. –Apparently, I can pull off a decent tasting Kiampung (flavored rice), lemon chicken and Ginger scallion chicken.

ginger scallion chicken -pale but still tasty

Since all the tv series I follow is on break, I have been binge watching the royals, some documentaries about British castles and binge watching Drop Dead Diva. *It’s an old series, but we find it funny so it’s all good. And the star is a plus size, strong and intelligent woman! It also promotes positive body image in a superficial world. Win!

Drop dead diva – binge watch worthy

Adding to my GOT toy collection has been slow, but it is now waiting for new additions! I asked my cousin Jacky from the US to help me get the funko pop Cersei (they finally had a better looking Cersei!) with the crown as well as Tormund to pair with my Brienne of Tarth.

Waiting for these two!

On the topic of geeking out, I am excited to see Spiderman Homecoming! Are you going to see it too?

Till the next post!
