How I got my PEN

A couple of weeks ago I made a bid on ebay.com for a camera that I have been eyeing for a month now. Buying it here would cost me around 36K. So, I tried out my luck in ebay and found one Olympus E-PL1 with a starting bid of US$250. Well, after a couple of days I won it fair and square at almost half the price if I bought it here.

The seller seemed trustworthy and honest, but I was still a bit paranoid if I should go ahead and pay through Paypal or not.

But I won the bid, so I went ahead and paid for it.

He shipped it the same afternoon and I asked him to send it to:

MY NAME/ Crissy Jeanjaquet

6904 Roosevelt Avenue,

Woodside, NY 11377

And then I sent an email to christinej@johnnyair.com letting her know to expect a package for me, gave her the tracking number given by the seller and my contact details here in The Philippines.

After 6 days, I received a text message from Johnny Air that I have a box of goodies waiting for me in their Megamall branch.

I only had to pay Php1,800++ for shipping for my camera. NOT. BAD. AT. ALL. Minus the hassles if it went through the post office! SWEET! :D

Here are some test shots…

    I just love reading your blog. I wish I could write like you. I don’t even know how to tweak a blog. Eats most of my time trying to figure out how to make a nice background, & other whatchamacallits that a blogger have on his/her blog site. Maybe I’ll just content myself reading other people’s blogs.

    Keep writing!

      Just write! Anything! Even if it seems mundane. I don’t even write as well as I would like to… Practice makes perfect! Tuloy mo lang Rouselle! I just choose a theme and the widgets for the sidebar… I have no background in setting up, etc… That’s all I know! Use wordpress.com – easier to use for me.
