@philliptan Its probably because the Chinese merchants were one of the first people who traded with Filipinos specifically in Manila and eventually most of them resided there and started their business and some of them married Filipinos passing their culture and traditions. In fact in Binondo, Manila there is a place we call China Town. We were…[Read more]
In the old days, besides kuya and ate, there are some other ways on how brothers and sisters address themselves, like Ingkong, Diko, Ditse, etc,. I cant remember the other terms but in chinese its like 1st Brother, 2nd Brother, 3rd Brother, 1st Sister, 2nd Sister, etc,… I other dialects others addresses Manong for kuya and Manang for Ate. 🙂 @philliptan
@projectx1125 ya these words are definitely from Hokkien, of which neighbouring Taiwan speaks, eg, ditse sounds exactly like 2nd sister in Hokkien. Interesting!

LOL! If you think you’re that old then I should be the one calling you Kuya! haha! @philliptan Kuya pertains to an older brother or when you address a male stranger that you dont know the name. In opposite you say “Ate” to an older sister same thing with a female stranger. 😀 Kuya Phillip maganda ang mga pictures ng gunpla mo. ^_^v
@projectx1125 I knew kuya and ate (both related to the Chinese dialect of Hokkien – ge ya and ah jie) but always thot it was a sign of respect regardless of age… so how do I address a younger male or female?

@philliptan, You know what Bro? So far, these pictures are the best I’ve seen here. Seriously, these are freaking awesome! The pictures look like pages of a gunpla magazine. Great talent Bro! 😀
Kuya @projectx1125 haha u are too kind bro… I just wish I had time to develop a talent for modifying Gundams like the pros in GBWC and then these photos would really look great. Sadly I’m an old man haha with my oldest being a teenager next yr so time is not available to me right now. So I make do with what I have. Thanks again kuya!

That’s what happens when you try to get a gentei kit well after it was released. They sell out real fast. I’m looking at some of the RGs I bought for pretty much original price, and they’re now over 120$, and I saw prices for some spike over 250$ at some points.
bro, some mistake and I correct it for you. Is Sunshine plaza locate at Bencoolen St, the shop name is Hobby Art Gallery (HAG). … sun plaza at Sembawang, lol. Northstar locate at Ang Mo Kio Ave 5.
Nice build Bro! Got mine too and built it months ago. Great kit although the issue I’ve encountered was the belt for the gatling gun. Its easy to come off. Maybe I’ll just glue the pegs in place. 🙂
Looking good Bro! If you can squeeze that gap any further then I suggest you use plastic cement to make the seamline disappear. If you have the time you can watch vegita8259 on YouTube. This guy is really good. He also have some tutorial vids that may help you in gunpla building. Goodluck to you Bro! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this. @bcger As I watched the clip I feel amazed on how he does it. But then it also made me think that isn’t that dangerous, I mean I know he was just blowing out the paint but the way he inhale for more air to blow is the dangerous part. He’s not just inhaling air but also the smell and some pigments of the paint that got…[Read more]
Crazy Russians making the most out of nothing, I gotta respect that but like you said that has to be so bad for him. I wonder how often somebody has to do that to become as proficient as he is?
