Hidden BEMANI Gems in Paranaque and Pasay

Last Saturday I went to the CMEC or Central Mailing Exchange Center of EMS to try my luck they would release my parcel. Unfortunately, no one and an officer told me to come back on Monday because my parcel needs to be checked by a Customs Officer (I only bought a IIDX 9th style game).


On my way home, I hailed a jeepney going to Baclaran Church. As the jeepney reached our destination, I saw a small Japanese surplus store. The store has a few items mostly household and used clothing items. I asked the saleslady if they have video games in store, while she was looking for those games, I stumbled a mountain of stuff toys, browsing until I found a similar character, It's Pastel-kun from REFLEC BEAT! These Pastel-kuns can be found as a price from UFO Catchers in Japan. The Pastel-kuns I found are the plush keychains not one but five of them! I bought them all for 250.00php, originally 75.00php a piece but the lady slash off 25.00php.


After that excitement, I went to a nearby Jollibee to grab lunch. After that fast lunch, I continue to walk towards the train station. On the nearby train station, I found another Japanese Surplus store. The shop has video games, so that I started browsing if there are games that interest me. There are two games, the PlayStation version of pop'n music 2 and pop'n music 4. The price was originally 200.00php but they gave me a 50% discount.

My day went well after all, regardless of the stress of going to CMEC. The thing is I went home not empty-handed.
