Forget
dessert. Here's something even more worthy of my now-elusive smile.
|
All the way from HK! |
Today, I finally had the chance to get this registered parcel. Yue and I made a quick trip to the local post office before going to the supermarket. I had to personally claim this - complete with ID verification - because it's registered mail. I even had to pay an extra Php 40 because of this Customs Declaration thinggy.
|
Hmmm... movie disc. Take a guess at who is inside. :) |
The parcel's claim stub actually came last Tuesday, but as you may have known, I had to attend to
pressing (and depressing) matters earlier this week. After being down in the dumps for the past couple of days, this was a surefire way of putting the smile back into my face.
|
Ehem! Photo not too clear for you? |
|
Episode 1... here we go! :) |
That's Lee Jun Ki Episode 1- otherwise known as Lee Jun Ki's 1st Concert / Fanmeeting in Seoul. This Korea version DVD, released in 2006, is a rare find these days. I was lucky enough to find this
on eBay a few weeks back; the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew I had to have this in my collection.
|
DVD, photobook, stickers. |
This is my first Lee Jun Ki collectible, by the way.
|
Yue, the sticker addict, had cruel intentions for my kkonminam. LOL. |
And it just so happens that this is also my first Paypal and first international eBay transaction.
|
J-style! |
Although a bit worried at first, (I was a Paypal/eBay international newbie, after all)
the seller had been very accommodating and was quick to respond to my queries. I even got a discount for the shipping fee. :)
|
Awww... there's a crack on the cover. :( |
I guess the only thing I can complain about is that crack on the cover, which could have been incurred while in transit. One layer of bubble wrap obviously wasn't enough to protect my Joongi. :(
|
Not a dibidi copy. Haha! |
Thankfully, the DVD itself was safe and sound. And it's compatible with my player.
|
DVD + photobook. |
I found happiness in those ninety minutes of nothing but Lee Jun Ki. And seeing these on top of my drawer makes me purse my lips to form a giddy smile.
My son, who has been complaining to his Dad that 'Mommy cries a lot', was delighted to see me smiling again. But I guess he was even more delighted with the stickers, lol. I hid them away as soon as I was done taking these photos. Otherwise, I might find Jun Ki plastered all over the place!
Nice! Been wanting to buy from intl ebay for a long time. Nttakot ako sa shipment fee. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteawww! what a great package...must feels heaven when you got them Sis.

nice to know you're smiling again :) re: intl shipping, good thing you got it mura, the last time I went for intl shipping, the customs was asking me to pay 2K for tax daw. lol:D good thing it was just a gift so I told them to just ship it back! :D
ReplyDeletehttp://your30somethingmom.blogspot.com/
Wutda?! 2k? Naglakas-loob nga lang ako sa pagbili nito, sobrang hirap maghanap ng Korea version nito. Ang available na lang nito sa YesAsia is the Jap version, and like all Jap version items eh hindi makatao ang presyo, lol.
ReplyDeleteHow do they compute ba for the taxes? I got this item kasi pretty cheap, around 750php lang including the shipping. Ang Jap version nito around 3k na halos eh. o.O
OMO... akala ko ako lang naloka sa JunKi na to hahaha.. di pala ako nag-iisa lol..
ReplyDeleteI've been blogging for years pero di pa talaga ko nakabli sa ebay..hehe :) was here for PF.
