Despite the very limited budget and only 20-23kg luggage allowance from PAL, I still managed to get you some stuffs from Asakusa, Tokyo Disney Resorts and Akihabara as my little pasalubong for you!
From ASAKUSA TEMPLE, I got these ref magnets to add TO OUR FRIDGE MAGNETS COLLECTION…
I got these 2 keychains as you’ve requested… (simple lang at maganda ang wife ko, keychain lang ang gusto!)
I bought a white Japanese tea-cup mug with faces of Sumo wrestlers engraved as design for myself (not in photo).
I also got something for our friends –chopsticks! 
These pillow and cans of butter and chocolate cookies are all yours from TOKYO DISNEYLAND and DISNEYSEA…
(FYI, my wife collects tin cans, that’s how simple she really is! So I thought these 2 tin cans with Stitch design and embossed Disney characters would delight her more than its contents. I also brought home a zippered lunch box I got from my dinner set in Tokyo DisneySea for Gabby)
‘ney, I got this ‘kikay kit’ for you with Minnie Mouse ‘s soft and chewy sweets inside…
Last but not the least…
Gabby, since I and your mom love you so much; not only because you are named 3rd Honorable Mention at your recently concluded Kindergarten graduation and has been awarded honors in your preschool’s Declamation and Academic Contests in 2 consecutive years, we think you deserve something you really want.
I (with Dr. BPS) went back to AKIHABARA ELECTRIC TOWN a day before my flight back home just to get you this present…
This is your most wanted pasalubong, right? I bought those from Ishimaru store in Akihabara; glad you like it, anak!
Now you have both your gameboy and this new Sony PSP with 4-gig memory stick to enjoy during the summer break! But promise me and your mom that you’ll continue to be a good boy and a smart preschool pupil, OK?
I love you ‘ney and Gabby!
Tatay-doc.

Dear Kind Readers,
Beyond Toxicity will be celebrating its 3rd anniversary on May 08, 2010. Because of this, I thought of giving away little something from my Tokyo trip. No, it’s not the PSP I bought for Gabby, but these wonderful pairs of authentic Japanese chopsticks; all yours when you join and win the small blog-contest that I will be throwing before this month ends (will be only open to all readers within the country and abroad who can provide mailing address within the Philippines ). Simple and easy mechanics will be posted on the last week of April so stay tuned.
Now, who wants these chopsticks?
This ends my 14-part-Letters about Tokyo series. Thanks for following!
Sayonara and Arigato Gozaimasu, Tokyo!
-gelo.
ako din we only buy magnets and key chains, and tshirts pala. malapit na nga anniversary mo, congratulations.
other than fridge magnets, my wife and i also like to buy snow globes and picture frames with the name of the city/place of travel but i didn’t find anything I think she would like in tokyo.
yup, this site’s turning 3 next month. thanks for the early greetings, ewok1993!
Those chopsticks you bought are really works of art – even the packaging already says a lot! However, I’ve never been dexterous enough to master using these things when picking up food. Shame on me hahaha!
i’m just glad i’ve learned how to eat rice using chopsticks recently when i was there in tokyo. haha!
gabby’s lucky to learn how to use them so early for his age.
I love the pasalubongs. any wife would love it, hehehe. And i am so waiting for the mechaNICS, and wishing for good luck i win one of those… Welcome home doc!
hi sheng! sali ka ha, sa munting blog-contest ko by the end of the month.
thanks for the warm greetings!
padala ko yung chopsticks sa yo sa gen san pagnanalo ka
Welcome back to Manila, Doc !
Mabuhay
Cute pasalubongs ! I am sure you family is happy to have you back !
hey,sidney! thanks. i’m happier being home.
these are sooooo cute
thanks! my wife & kid like them too.
Hi there Docgelo!
Wow, your pasalubongs look wonderful! I really like the chopsticks! I don’t know how to use them but maganda syang i-design design lang sa bahay. Haha!
Tama yan, Sir! May rewards dapat ang batang matiyaga! Excited nga ako kapag nag e-end every term ko tapos pasado lahat at magaganda grades. Pwede nang humingi ng kahit ano. ALAM NA!
Wag nang ipa-contest yan Doc Gelo. Sakin na yan, birthday ko sa May 8 eh. Haha, fo reals!
Pero joke lang, will try to participate sa contest mo. Layo pa nun, end of April pa! 
hello, halfcrazy! welcome here and thanks for commenting on my post.
asahan ko yan, sali ka ha. katuwaan lang. who knows? you might really own these 2 pairs of chopsticks soon.
siguradong sobrang excited si gabby niyan parang ako nga na excite kahit hindi para sa akin yan.
kaya lang dom, version 6.2 daw yung nabili kong PSP 3000 (latest unit sa japan) so hindi pa daw pwede imodify dito and download games, movies etc. until more or less august daw. nonetheless, he has few PSP games borrowed from his cousin kaya enjoy pa din
ako rin eh bumili ng magnets, keychain, at samut saring anik anik, kaya ending ko nagpapa ship ako ng ilang things ko bago ako umuwi. Dahil sa nahohomesick ako, mag mamalling naging libangan ko and I didn’t notice na sobra na pala sa baggage ko ang mga nabibili ko hehehe!!!!
saya magshopping ng pasalubong kundi limited ang budget at hindi nagmamadali, hehehe.
i can imagine your baggage jeanny, punong-puno ng mga bagay from sydney; wow!
Wow, nainggit naman ako sa PSP! I don’t really play computer games, but the thought of having one tickles my brain sometimes. hehe
Really great set you have here, Doc. I noticed from a previous post a picture of hand-woven slippers. I think I saw something like that at the Legazpi Sunday Market. There’s a booth there owned by an old Japanese fellow who weaves the slippers as you order.
Congrats in advance on your 3rd blogaversary. Naintriga naman ako sa contest. hehe
hey, josh thanks for the visit and the early greetings. sali ka sa small-time blog contest ko soon, hehe.
Wow, you’re very sweet! I always admire Dads like you who give time and effort to bring some nice things to family. I’m sure Gabby was jumping with joy with that PSP! The kid in me told me so! Tina should be overjoyed with those tin cans, they’re just beautiful!
Advance Happy anniversary to your blog! You’re the best!
thanks, dennis. “you’re the best!???” hindi po! kayo ang the best; para lang HBO e, hehe.
Anong klaseng contest ba magaganap, Docgelo? Hanapan contest ba to? Research? Medyo hirapan nyo po ah! Haha! Sana walang Math LOL.
halfcrazy, don’t fret. hehehe… it’ll be so easy! hindi ka mag-epistaxis (nosebleed) hehehe. i also hate math!
your taste in pasalubong are very simple but they are very cute! the chopsticks are lovely, but i think the fridge magnets are the best!
welcome to my blog, prinsesamusang!
thanks for the kind words; we like those magnets too. 
you may join my little blog contest soon and win those chopsticks.
Hi sir would you mind telling me what camera you’re using cause you take awesome photos! Are you using a dslr?
