Oh! a Starfighter!

On the way to school, I passed by hobbytown to get the Hasegawa F-4E Phantom II I saw last thursday but i wan't able to buy it cuz i didn't have enough cash with me (It was on sale -- 50% off from $25.00). I was about to go to the cashier when I saw the scale: 1/72. I was shocked!! I almost bought the model!! I was almost fooled into buying a 1/72 model!! Just shows how big the phantom is! I immediately replaced it on the shelf and browsed more for clearance items. I saw this half-price 1/48 (my scale) Italeri Phantom (same bird, different scale and brand, $24) but I don't trust kits from this company yet. I heard they reboxed Testors kits and this company's offerrings undoubtedly can't match those from the asian market (Japan's Hasegawa being one of them). I picked it still and tried to go for a last check before going to the cashier. Then I saw this Hasegawa box with an orange clearance sale tag on it. It's a 1/48 F-104G! A Starfighter!!! I actually saw this last thursday but I thought it was already bought or sumthin. So, after doublechecking the scale and the price (almost $29), I proceeded to the counter. =)

Buying models make me feel good. Although I got stacks of partially build ones and more of unbuilt airplanes, I can't seem to pass up on a good deal.I found out in the finescale.com forums that this habit is normal to modelers. I wonder if I can finish them all tho. Prolly, when i get older, I will create a scale aircraft museum. Not only filled with scale aircraft but unfinished ones!! People will get to savor the unpainted plasticky goodness.... Tehee.. im so smart!

Another good thing, I passed my Physics test!! In fact, I almost got an A if not only with my sporadic clumsiness (scantron-shading-wise). And I didn't do it once but TWICE! A screaming TWO TIMES!! Right on the first page of the test! I know this sucks but I know I should be happy. Besides, I can easily bring up my grade. I got a high B anyway.

Speaking of bringing up my grade, I have been doing alot of HW lately. i think the coming chapters are getting easier to understand. This afternoon, I have been solving problems like pancakes! partida pa! I was talkin with my hun! hehe.. i guess that was to my advantage. I have y inspiration readily available to me =).

I like the word "scantron." It reminds me of those animated robot cartoons like Transformers and Voltron. Or maybe Voltes V and Daimos. Ahhh........the good ol' times...
