Last weekend, I got the chance to join my girlfriend in her company’s Rest and Recereation activity and that is to travel to Camiguin Island, Philippines. Camiguin is a small Island between Mindanao and Visayas. The small island can be circled within a day thus making the resorts and natural sites accessible in a short stay in the Island. Man, it is really cool there! A small place that has preserved its natural resources and successfully made them accessible to the public at the same time protecting them. I will be posting pictures later about some of the relaxing natural sites I visited..

The story of my travel was between me and my luggage .. I was so excited to come to the trip that I wasn’t able to check my luggage. I just placed my stuffs in it and went on. Little did I know about the problem that it will cost me in my trip. I brought a carry-on type and I failed to check that the zipper was jammed. And when I was boarding the bus that the company rented, my luggage got caught on the door and NOO!!! it was torn. Although the tear was not very big, it affected my mood on the trip. And with the combination of the jammed zipper, I was always looking at my luggage because my things might come out or any person may easily get my stuffs in it.. phew! talking about a reliable luggage!

So what’s the lesson learned? A reliable and durable travel luggage is important in a trip or else it will make you miss beautiful sites that you might see in the bus window. Whether you buy locally or shop online, it is important to not settle on cheap luggage sets but instead spend some reasonable amount on your things and buy once rather than to buy several cheap things regularly because they easily get destroyed. Also, it is also cool to be updated in the latest innovations and updates in luggages and travel wares - if you are really into traveling.. You can check out Innovation Luggage for top quality, innovative, perfect sized luggages as well as travel tips that make your trip secure, safe and enjoyable.

Anyway, these are some pics from the trip, hope you guys will feel that you were with me there.. Or you can come to Camiguin Island here in the Philippines and enjoy its beauty yourselves.

nicol bolas, planeswaker, bloodhall ooze, conflux, giltspire avenger,nyxathid, sigil of the empty throne..

just click on image to enlarge..

I think, I will ike this expansion..

I was expecting Nicol Bolas Planeswalker as the Release card but Malfegor is very okay too!!! yeah!.. and it’s black red, with a great ability!!.. yohoo!!

here it is, Malfegor - Conflux pre-release card!..  

this can be a promising creature in standard.. can be put in aggro, no question about it along with demigod of revenge.. But it’s board controlling ability can be put in control decks too, at least you benefit something from the discarded cards when this creature comes into play..  

yup!..

 it’s nice to have a back-to-back good cards for fnm.. December’s shrapnel blast comes best with this month’s fnm card!

FNM card january is Magma jet!!

ps: for an updated nicol bolas conflux card and some rares, click here.

As expected, the great nicol bolas has some very board-controlling, game turning abilities!.. 1st with a non creature permanent destroyer and the second with a gain control of target creature.. FOREVER!!

WOW!! I cant wait for the "BOOM!" ability to come out!.. keep visiting my blog for updates!!
