Lighting and point of view can make simple "toy," 1/144 scale, subjects interesting and inflated by view to life-size.

Wallen, I followed your link, yes, Amazon is not the only game in town. I have patiently waited for a special IR/UV no visible, filter at half price from China. It is now in the USA delivery pipe line. Suppliers such as Aliexpress have things we have never thought of for low prices.

Lazada is the biggest one in the Philippines.

But there are also scam sellers. Cheap it may be, some purchases is a gamble.

Quite a list/display of achievements. My only trophy, so far as I recall, which I would have kept, I didn't get - because it went just to the school, where it resides with a lot of other trophies. I do have a picture of it (with my name), though. That's when I was Head Freshman Coach and Assistant Varsity Coach for Girls' Basketball at St. Mary's High School in Phoenix. In 2012, we were the US National Champions, having beaten all the best teams from around the country, almost always by from 10 to 40 points -- 30-0. The next year, we were number two, having lost only one game, and that by just 3 points -- so 29-1. And St. Mary's is a co-ed school, with only about 500 students, playing schools with as many as 3,000. The eight regulars on that championship team all received major D-1 scholarships - Louisville, Harvard (academic and basketball), Michigan, Washington, UCLA, San Diego State, New Mexico State and UCONN!!!

I buy a lot of things through Lazada. That's for items where it isn't necessary (or prudent) to touch, feel, observe. Also, as I'm sure you've found, one must be very careful about things coming from China!!! Descriptions frequently lie and customer service can be nonexistent. Lots of knockoffs sold as the real thing! By being very careful, I've been scammed only maybe three times over 7 years and purchase of more than 350 items of all kinds. I will buy only COD, because apparently things paid for in advance sometimes fail to arrive (being intercepted during shipment - as also with mail!). There are other on-line services, but I prefer Lazada.

Recently SM has offered an online food purchase service, which I've been using for a couple of months. For any size order, the delivery fee (within 5 KM from a store) is only P150, and the prices are essentially the same as for in-store purchase. Not everything the store carries always is available, but a surprising amount is, and most times same day delivery can be scheduled. I've been quite pleased with this, as it saves both time and the cost of taxis!

Just some of that which is available to learn when eyes, ears and mind are open and active!!!

That is quite an achievement as well. Weathering and winning a season is no easy task.
Nice to have more options in online services. More competitions always mean company's strive for better service at lower cost.
