I will be talking about my past experience with PHLPost and customs, so if you want to go straight to AliExpress, just scroll down below. For the past several years, I avoided having items shipped through PHLPost whenever I can to avoid customs inspection. Customs here in the Philippines is notoriously corrupt and there are a lot of horror stories of people getting charged absurd tax rates. Just google it and you'll see there are no shortage of angry anecdotes online. I do have my own unpleasant experience myself. Some years ago, I bought eyeglasses at some website based outside the Philippines. The price was cheaper than what I would usually get here (that includes getting the thin lenses and having it multi-coated). At the time, I previously purchased a few items internationally. I did get taxed but it was was somewhat reasonable (I can't remember exactly, but it was less than half the parcel price) so I expected I the taxes I have to pay would be about half th...

Please don’t ask me for links where to watch. 2013 NHK Yae no Sakura 八重の桜 Played the role of  Ōyama Sutematsu  (大山捨松); a prominent social figure during the Meiji era. 2014 NHK Shitsuren Chocolatier 失恋ショコラティエ Played the role of Kato Erena (加藤 えれな). I watched this one. She and Souta (the male lead played by Matsumoto Jun) are both frustrated from having unrequited loves and they ended up becoming fuck buddies. Erena ended up catching up feelings for Souta. 2014 Nobunaga Concerto 信長協奏曲 Played the role of Oichi (お市). She’s the younger sister of Nobunaga Oda . I can’t remember much, Kiko’s role was very minor she only appeared prominently in one or two episodes then just bits and pieces after that. To resolve a conflict she had to marry into some clan which was sad because she and Tsuneoki (one of Nobunaga/Saburo’s followers) had a little something going on. Nothing major but there was an obvious attraction. Anyway, she did end up falling in love with her hu...

Cute dress and shoes that Kiko Mizuhara had on was: Anna Sui for Opening Ceremony Sequin Embroidered Baby Doll Dress Apparently this was a reissue from  Anna Sui’s Spring/Summer 1994  collection I want it!! The shoes is  Miu Miu Glitter And Suede Peep Toe Ankle Boots A silver coloured glitter ankle boots with a mint colour suede sandal overlay.
