Double Check

When I discovered how to use Ebay late last year and when I already know how usually we can get an international package, I ordered not too much but I already bought several items from all over the place and I was never asked to pay more than 100PHP ($2.30) on the post office until the arrival of my Canon 24mm where I was charged 1,135PHP ($26).

The box says it all, its a Canon 24mm lens and I was surprised that it was already on different box sealed with a PHL POST tape not an international box when this came from Korea. I want to compare it with a used Dr. Martens that I bought from UK (which I haven't blog about) that is literally much heavier/bigger and a little bit more expensive than this lens but I was never taxed more than 100PHP. 

I'm not against on charging me more than 100PHP but it's also a bit funny and annoying at the same time most especially if I already received a huge box than this. Maybe because it's Canon but dang it the Dr. Martens (Bethan) cost more than this lens. Haha. Even it was already used but still, used docs usually have bigger value. 

I don't know on how they compute taxes and all but if it's because of the price then it's reasonable but if you will just depend on the box itself or even on the country where it is from, then they should have some reality check.

For now, I'm really done shopping because it's time to save up.

Doctor in Green

Speaking of another doctor that landed 2 weeks ago. haha

Together with the Triumph 1914 of Daphne, I was having a hard time on what to order .... There was this Hinckey docs which was new and available on pink and yellow, the patent lamper yellow and the original green one ...

I just wanted a pair that can go on whatever day it is because my pink one was a little bit sensitive because of the material which is Cartegena and if ever I will go on a whole day walkathon, I don't like my pink doctor to be super dirty. I was really down on choosing a yellow or a green and I was so close on choosing the hinckey but as I think about it every time, I came to the conclusion that I already have a yellow one, not really super yellow but at least it has a shade of yellow even though it was a wrong size, I can still wear it on a limited time.

And I ended up with the green one and I'm satisfied with it. ;)

YAY! for a spare lace :D

I think it was a little magical on the states that it was ordered and delivered at the same day ... 

shooting with a flash makes it a little bright green but in reality it was somehow a dark one... 

I already wore it twice because I really need to break it first but at first it doesn't feel that I'm breaking them because it was the right size for me.

its a little funny and odd because when I got all of them I really make sure that it was clean for couple of hours or days so I can still put it on my bed for picture or just because it was new and when I started to use them I don't clean them anymore look at the black one! HAHAHA

meet my trusty doctors ;)

I was browsing some photos on tumblr and instagram and I saw some people who even have wounds during the first time they wore theirs, my advice, get the right size. ;) 

I also want to share with you this video . :)

Dap chose this docs because its different and cute and I don't know what else. HAHAHA

Doctor in Baby Pink

Last March, Alaine and I know that Ninang Jeng will go home here with her parents and we don't want anything from the states just some Dr. Martens ... and when I browse their website these baby (Chalky Colours) are the latest that time! and I've been dying to get some pink since I got my first one and without hesitation I know what I'm getting.

and yes! I got the pink one. Tho its a little sensitive to water so I make sure I'll be using this baby when there's indoor event or at least when it will not rain the whole day... 

So here's my separate post about my baby pink ... I'm so in love with it and I still crave for one or two or three or as many docs that I want but I have to stop for now. hehe 

Photo bomb post .... 

group picture of my 4 Doctors. :)

but seriously, I think I'm just going to get one or two more that I can wear when it rains or at least something just for my daily thing maybe I'll get a yellow or green or a gray that have a smooth or patent lamper as a material ... I really don't know for now but as I said, I have to stop for now because I'm saving for something   that I also love to have. :)

Happiness Overload

Last Thursday, my aunt call me out of the blue than the usual, I'm thinking if what she will ask or anything but as I entered the room she pointed on a paper bag then boom! OUR DR. MARTENS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!! YAY! I'm feeling so hyped when it comes to this. HAHAHA. She called Alaine if she can meet us but unfortunately she has exam the next day and she need to review. We meet the next day, My aunt told her that a doctor is looking for her and then she jokes "Who? Dr. Martens?" and look around the room and she haven't see it yet! HAHAHA then look around again and she was like WHOA! and she hugged the box (my cousin is so cute!) Then she opened it ...
