Well, I got a hold of my dream cel, 3 different 
ones in a weird period of 4-6 months or so. After 
2 years of hunting for Kouji I got 3 Kouji cels 
one right after the other, which was STRANGE. @_@

I got my baby ultimate dream cel...well, it was 
fate. A week before I got a hold of it, was 
feeling odd like something was going to happen. 
Something inside me was telling me to save up 
save up...save up money! I was afraid a certain 
dealer would update like amazing cels so began a 
long week or so sale to raise money for no reason 
at all. I had nightmares of missing their 
updates, I couldn't sleep or eat. I think I felt 
something was going to happen and I acted weird 
and had no purpose to save up. I didn't know why 
I was raising money, but something was pushing me 
to do so. So, here I had an exact amount in my 
paypal account. It just sat there for a few days 
or so and then someone e-mails me and tells me to 
try to ask this dealer for their cel which would 
be my major dream cel. Everyone had asked this 
dealer about it and te dealer loved it too. I 
thought this would be impossible. I said okay and 
thought-phat chance...but well, e-mailed them and 
just openly told them my feelings about it and 
how hard it was and it just happened. It didn't 
feel hard, only about added a few years to my 
life by worrying.

Anyway, that was the weirdest time in collecting 
for me because the price they sold the dream cel 
to me was te EXACT amount I had raised into my 
paypal account. I think I shocked the dealer by 
paying like that same day asap. Heh. Anyway, the 
pain up to that was hard, but the process itself 
I was holding my breath and hoping, but it didn't 
feel hard. The hunting for years is the hard part 
and the waiting part is hard. 

My probably most favorite Kouji face cel. I had 
lost it nearly like 4 times from the previous 
owner and came so close to getting it so many 
times. I followed that cel for 2 years nearly 
from owner to owner. THAT was the HARDEST dream 
cel I ever fought to get. I just never gave up 
asking about it and such. The previous owner 
almost sold it to me, then decided not to. But it 
went into the hands of one of the most nicest 
collectors though. I was happy for her and 
decided to give up I suppose after having my 
dream cel. But I noticed they were selling a lot 
of their cels and asked about my dream cel and if 
they were quitting and so, another wait for the 
final decsion and then it was mine. That was all 
due to watching what was going on and seeing what 
may be happening and asking. Damn, wish I had 
thought about their other dream cel. A Subaru 
cel. -_-;; So lovely. I would of traded anything 
for that one. Heh. Still will I think;)

MY third, got it on Yahoo Japan. Fees killed me. -

I recently got a wishlist cel this week-not a 
dream cel but on my wishlist. I am suprised I 
did! Hardly EVER get the exact cel on a wishlist! 
@_@ It just happened. The dealer updated, for 
some REASON, I couldn't sleep that night and 
caught it after I screamed. ^_^ I think fate and 
God has a lot to do with missing one or snagging 
a dream cel. Things get right into place at 
times, but the worse part is waiting for the 
holder of the dream cel decising to sell it to 
you. *_*
