Jubilee weekend we went for a day out in York, which is only a 45 minute drive from where I live.
At Brew York for a refreshing drink. This lovely view was at the rear of the bar.
Just recently, I joined a group called PHLUG (Philippine Lego Users Group) which is basically a group of AFOLS and TFOLS from the Philippines. The admins of PHLUG try their best to host monthly meetings called "Brickfast" (Breakfast). Basically, they rent a venue (perhaps the second floor function rooms of a restaurant) and showcase MOCs and sell legos. It's like a miniature BrickFair.
It was my first time attending a Brickfast so I didn't really know anyone there. I forgot to bring a lot of money for buying (which was a huge mistake) so therefore I only bought what caught my eye. Bought the Captain America for PHP450 (around USD10). Been looking for a vintage minifigure so I bought an old red jumpsuit minifig for PHP180 (around USD4) although I would've preffered a classic spaceman minifig but it didn't fit my budget. I was really surprised that some guy was selling minifig.cat (you don't see a lot of people around here who own third party accessories) so I bought a bunch of gas masks and some armor/guns for PHP470 (around USD10). Entrance fee was PHP100 (around USD2) so I spent around php1100 (around USD25) which was all I had in my wallet.
Although, I did sell some of my customs and my old collectible minifigures for a total of PHP3200 (around USD72) so it wasn't really much of a loss for me.
It was a pretty good meeting (convention?). Nothing compared to BrickFair, BrickCon, or BrickWorld in the States though but I'm glad to see that the Philippine lego community is making some progress. One whole room was filled with sellers (it was like a flea market) and another room was devoted to displaying MOCs and stuff.
I really enjoyed this month's Brickfast and I'm looking forward to attending the Brickfasts to come!
P.S.
Sorry for the lack of posts nowadays. My summer vacation just ended and school's starting (yeah, school's June to March in the Philippines) so I've been pretty busy lately with my studies and extra-curriculars. Never had much time to touch my lego lately except for today.

Sunset over Evangeline Beach, Nova Scotia back in early June.
As I post this, this weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada so we have a 3 day weekend.
All the best!
Megatron/Matrix
1995
Megatron Matrix is roughly the size of a billboard and holds 215 monitors. The video—augmented by a loop of unrelated soundbites—mixes images from the Seoul Olympics with Korean folk rituals and modern dance. Smaller clips play simultaneously on multiple monitors, while larger, animated images flow across the boundaries between screens, suggesting a world without borders in the electronic age.
Paik sorted the monitors into two distinct sections. The Megatron conveys the vast reach of the media, while the smaller section, the Matrix, emphasizes the impact on each of us. In Matrix, Paik arranged the monitors so that the images seem to spiral inward around a lone screen showing two partially nude women. He may be suggesting that our bodies are our primal connection to the world, but the effect on the viewer is of being assaulted by "too much information."
In the early 1960s, Paik began incorporating televisions into his collaborative performance pieces with American dancers, musicians, and artists. Today, the fusion of pop music, commercial culture, and nationalist symbols captures Paik's story and that of millions around the world. Paik's prophetic awareness of the power of television has been borne out in our "plugged-in" age, when any kind of art or entertainment is available on our screens all the time.

Day Eleven .. Visiting the Liverpool Docklands before making our way to Blackpool for the night.
Iconic in style; immense in ambition. Liverpool’s docks dominated global trade in the 19th century, with the Albert Dock at their heart. To this day the Mersey continues to play a central role in the city’s cultural life, with the Dock an integral part of our World Heritage waterfront.
Liverpool’s docks dominated global trade by the early 19th century. When it opened in 1846, Albert Dock changed the way the docks worked here forever. Its warehouses were fireproof and secure; traders could do deals before their import taxes were due; hydraulic cranes hauled heavy cargoes across the flagstones. The speed with which ships unloaded and turned around was cut in half.
The bustling docks and their prized cargoes become a target for German bombers, which first drop mines into the water, and then onto its roofs. By now Liverpool is the headquarters of the Admiralty’s Atlantic campaign; bombs raze the Dock’s warehouses day and night during 1941’s May blitz, causing substantial damage.
Liverpool City Council decrees the Albert Dock a Conservation Area, in order to preserve its unique architectural and historic interest. In both 1960 and 1966 the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board had considered demolishing it; its new status assures its future.
Kings Dock has been vastly redeveloped over recent years, and the former dock has now been filled in. The 11,000 capacity Echo Arena is now sited on what was King's Dock as well as a number of new apartment buildings and hotels.
Pier Head is one of Liverpool's most famous locations, it is home to the 'Three Graces' which have dominated the city's skyline for over a century (they are the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building). The Three Graces are not the only buildings located at Pier Head, the Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the Titanic is also sited here alongside the Pier Head Ferry Terminal and Queensway Tunnel Ventilation Shaft. Pier Head is bordered to the north by Prince's Dock and to the south by Mann Island. Mann Island is another section of the Liverpool waterfront which has seen significant regeneration over recent years, the Museum of Liverpool and the Mann Island Buildings are both under-construction as of September 2010.
The Prince's Dock is located to the north of the Pier Head and the Three Graces which is now the home of the Liverpool Cruise Terminal where turnaround cruises arrive and depart. The land surrounding Prince's Dock is the subject of major redevelopment and could be part of the very ambitious Liverpool Waters Scheme.
