One of my fave places in The Dubai mall is of course...

KINOKUNIYA!

All of the otaku, geeky and bookworm stuff are probably there.

Kinokuniya is a Japanese bookstore chain operated by Kinokuniya Company Ltd. (株式会社紀伊國屋書店 Kabushiki-gaisha Kinokuniya Shoten), founded in 1927, with its first store located in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It means "Store of Kii Province".(from Wikipedia)

The first Kinokuniya store I visited was in Singapore like 2 years ago, I was super happy because I love art books and they have like a bunch of them at Kinokuniya and also Japanese magazines that are really rare to find in my home country.

On this blog post I will photo spam all of the things that I saw inside Kinokuniya well mostly

the geeky stuff. LOL!

Let the photo spam begin!
and oh the photos I took are from the first time that I went to Kinokuniya! :D

Hello Kinokuniya! :D

First ones I had to check out...were... 

STAR WARS stuff! lol 

DARTH VADER!! (sadly I did not buy one)

There were more Star Wars stuff but I was not able to take photos of it all just the ones that really caught my attention. :)

next...

FUNKO POPS!

I love Funko Pop! Although I left my collection in PH because I can't really bring them here in Dubai.

next is Otaku stuff!

I collect One Piece figures too! :)
I blogged about it months ago you can check it out >>>

VIDEO GAME ART BOOKS!
I'm like... *heavy breathing
I want to have em all! 

more figures... 
they have a lot I just did not took a photo of them all.

and... I also celebrated my birthday few weeks ago.
I turned 24 this year. :D
My boss told me to pick what I like for my birthday as a gift from him 
when me, my colleagues and my boss(we were like a family lol) went to Kinokuniya on my birthday.
It was so cool of him! :)

So I got... of course...

STAR WARS GOODIES! :)

I love it!! :D so happy! :)

and this ends my Kinokuniya, Dubai Mall post! ;)

I'm planning to blog about food choices you can find in Dubai Mall.
So you can try it out when you visit Dubai.

I hope you liked my blog post!
'til next time!

My Figure Collection 2015 March Update

For today's blog post, I'll be sharing about another side of me.

The love of collecting figures! :D

It started last year... I had colleagues that are into collecting figures like One Piece and Funko Pop.

I am a ONE PIECE FAN! I love the character Portgas D Ace... so that's why I have so many figures of him but... compared to other collectors, my Ace "shrine" is not yet awesome. LOL

and now... I will have a photo spam of my collection! :)

here's my One Piece Figure Collection. :D

NEXT --- FUNKO POP COLLECTION!

I was fond of the cuteness of the Funko POP line and I decided to collect the Assassin's creed ones and some Star Wars ones... I have pending pre-orders so I haven't got the other ones yet.

I don't let them out of the box because I don't have a glass cabinet yet... and according to other Funko Pop collectors... the ones that are kept in their boxes have greater value than those that are let out of the box. Hmmm I might or might not sell 'em in the future... LOL

My only Star Wars Funko Pop(yet) and those figs on top that I got from a really cheap bargain of lot items... It's a Kubrick and a Pepsi Next Bearbrick.

I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD and I definitely love Daryl Dixon! :)

NEXT collection... plushies! :3

I love Chopper! Super kawaii~ :3

- end of photo spam-

Well that's about it! My collection is not that huge(yet) LOL I have incoming pre-orders for my One Piece Collection and Funko Pop collection... so I'll update again once they arrive. 

I still keep all of them inside a storage box 'cause I haven't bought a glass cabinet yet. I will buy one in the near future.

whew... it has been awhile... I really miss blogging! :) I hope I could post more often.

Thanks for reading! :D

If you're a figure collector and you're reading this please comment your blog site or if you have any photo references of your collection... feel free to share it and put the link on the comments section. :D
