Bwana Spoons Blind Box Madness 2010 - Opening the Box

Our family Christmas Party ended at almost at 1 AM. Clean-up took an hour. When we finished it was already 2. Since I am full of sugar from the ice cream cake, cookies etc, I figured I can open one present and I wanted to open my blind box from Bwana.

Opening my box.

Oooo! Getting excited...

I pull an original painting by Bwana! O_____O!!

I find the last bundle in the box...

I pull a Custom Steven #50! So stoked!

The back of the custom!

My blind box loot! I also got some taffy, a couple of cards and a candy cane-like figure of a snake. I hope Bwana does this again next year. I really enjoyed it! Merry Christmas to me!

Orange Goodness

Around the second worst week in my life, first being the week I lost my beloved P-Chan, Bwana dropped his Autumnal Offerings. It was a nice way to end a horrid week.

I haven't been blogging as much due to all the stuff that's happened this month. The most traumatic being P-Chan's sudden death which my family and I are still coping with. I still have my moments where I would break down and cry every time I see her things and her pictures. I've been planning to write a long eulogy of sorts to remember her. I don't want to lose my memories of her and I want to write it down for posterity. I just couldn't do it with her birthday looming in front of me. She would have been 16 on the 23rd of this month. Now that it has passed and I am not as distraught I think I'll be able to accomplish that goal.

Dealing with that plus a horrible work week I was pretty much in a rotten mood as the weekend approached. I saw the pictures Bwana posted and the #13 caught my eye. I loved the color and the eyes were cute. I thought I was too late for it but managed to score and here he is:

I got him a couple of hours ago and I just had to take pics. I just love the spray work and the hand painted embellishments on the figure. The colors all blend and work well with each other. All in all I was quite pleased with this one.

It'll be a long time before I feel like my usual self again and seeing this in hand makes me feel like the old times and I am slowly moving away from mourning and walking the path to healing.
