This will be my last post here...I'm returning back to livejournal...coz of the Blythe communities there.

This week...

I'll be having my mid-term exam in a few days...omg...must study hard!...have to find a quiet place with no distraction in the house...I guess I'll study in the garage...>_>

There'll be a Blythe meet this saturday with local members from TIB...I haven't been to one in like atleast 2 years or 3? I want to go...it'll be a good opportunity for me to take some dolly pics. I haven't taken any of my girls out since last year's trip to seattle with my bf. My Blythe love is coming back to me...I feel like taking my girls out on a regular basis now. When I had my first few Blythes, I used to take atleast one of them where ever I go...I want to do that again...I want to dress them up all pretty and finish customizing the ones I left off uncompleted! I haven't felt like this in a long time!

I finally received my pcdl dvd last friday...was stuck in customs for 3 days. The dvd comes with a metallic slip case...very pretty! The concert itself is my fav cdl from ayu. She sang a lot of rarely or never performed songs...it was wonderful~ I love the back stage footage...its just like the 07-08 cdl dvd, it shows ayu travelling back and forth to different sub-stages during the concert. It was very interesting to see. =D The dvd was a bit pricey but it was worth it.

Ganbette!!

GANBETTE!!~

I feel very sad but at the same time proud of myself...for not spending any money today. I went out with my mom and brother to the mall today...I guess it was a bad idea for me to go since I already know I can't spend any money...have to save up for school and gifts. I saw some clothes I really wanted to buy...been looking for them for a while too! I didn't want to spend money or charge them on my credit card...or ask my mom to buy them for me...I'm old enough not to ask for stuff...so I left the mall empty handed...=(...it really sucks but there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just go shopping again when I have money to spend...sigh...if only someone take me out on a shopping spree where I don't have to pay for anything. That's actually something I really want to experience...but I'll probably feel bad and end up not getting anything. If I was given a budget then that might be different. As much as I want it to happen...its like one of my dreams...but it will never happen...so its best I rely on myself to save up...sigh...sucks to be broke!

customized~

2 weeks ago I finally got all my supplies to customize my itouch...I did it right away and took about 1 1/2 hours to fill the whole front with swarovski rhinestones. The pink crystals are really shiny under the light...and especially under the sun...but the black ones not so much...but its ok =D

<-- took a really crappy pic of it...kinda blurry..>_>

Cute Memo pics~

Took some really cute pics of Memo last week *v*...she's so cute!...when she's not biting...>_> Most of her flight feathers that were trimmed end of last year grew back...I can tell she really enjoys being able to fly further and stuff. I don't want to trim them again unless I really have to for her safety. She's a bit reckless sometimes...don't know what danger is...she definitely won't survive in the wild...that's for sure.

Beautiful gift from Japan

My brother participated in his school's Japanese exchange program last year and stayed in Japan for 2 weeks. In return, he or rather us the family is hosting a exchange student to stay at our house for this week. I can understand why they're only staying for a week rather than 2 weeks...since there's nothing interesting here...lol. Anyways, the host family and the student is suppose to exchange gifts and Takeshi's family gave us this really really beautiful plate decoration. I love Japanese art and crafts...I stared at it for a while...looking at the little details. Very beautiful. I remember back in high school I participated in this clay event(forgot what is was called) but you paint layers of paint (glaze?) over the dried clay and put it in the oven to bake. After its done, the clay turns all glossy and stuff...but that was no where near as beautiful as this. I don't know how they made this plate all metallic and textured but I'm assuming they go through similar oven glazing process?...I took a crappy pic of the plate. Seriously the plate looks a lot nicer than the pic. If I take the pic any closer, my face and the camera's reflection will show on the plate...lol

Happy Shopper!

I ordered some swarovski rhinestones end of last week to cover the front of my ipod touch and I received them today! I really ordered from a great website! Very very satisfied! I can order whatever amount, the shipping is super cheap, fast shipping, and the packaging's really great! I can't wait to start working on it!...have to wait for my glue and case to arrive first though. =(

Sigh...still waiting for my grades back from my course! This is really annoying...the instructor kept promising and delaying. Geez...don't promise if you can't do it! >_>...

Nice Weather~

ah! It's gorgeous outside today! Sunny and warm....hopefully it'll get even warmer soon so I can ditch my winter coat. =D...recently I bought some strap dresses with ruffle bottoms...they're very cute! I can't wait to wear them!! One of them looks exactly like one of my Blythe dresses...o_O

Here's a pic of Memo on my shoulder =D...I figured out normal settings on the camera will not work on her coz she moves too much! I had to adjust the setting to sports...and finally no blurry pics! I took this pic myself too...switched the camera the other way with the lens facing her. =D

sister's dog: Nova

Here's a pic of my sister's dog Nova...she dropped Nova off at our house to stay with us for 2 weeks...she's a lovable dog...likes to stick around people and don't really get into trouble...but she always has this sad look on her face....???

Anyways...she was following me around while I was taking pics of my cds...so I just turned around and took a pic of her...the pic turned out better than I expected from a quick shot. =D

Finished Exam!

ah! what a relief! Finally finished my final exam! Also handed in my last assignment few days ago...so all is left now is to wait for the grades back...let me pass!...and wait for the next course to start.

Got my USB few days ago...so pretty~!! It was worth spending 1 whole day searching for it online...this yellow case limited edition is very very limited...I'm so happy I got this version instead of the clear case encore limited edition. =D...lol I sound like nerd...talking about limited editions...=P

Here's the pic =D
Both is Ayu's new album: NEXT LEVEL. The one on the left is the yellow case limited edition USB, and the right is the 2cd+dvd that comes in pink case. The USB is really pretty~

Tiring week....

ah....so tired! I've been busy doing orders and school work non-stop. I'm truly grateful to have orders nowadays...you know...recession...so I shouldn't complain! Thank you very much to all my new and returning customers! =D

I went to the fabric store today for some supplies I ran out of and they have new fabrics in! Very cute ones...they'll make really cute dresses. I didn't know they were about to close for the day at that time so I didn't manage to get any of the fabrics...=( but I'll be back! They got those ultra tiny polka dot fabrics in that I've been searching for the longest time! Must get a large piece of that! =D

Hmm...what else is new....ah...I got Ayu's new album: NEXT LEVEL in the mail few days ago. Its the 2cd+dvd version. The USB version is at the customs right now...should receive it on monday. I really enjoyed the live cd...POWDER SNOW was awesome! It was a miracle after like 10 years she finally performed this song for the first time! Hopefully she'll continue to sing her old songs in future concerts. As for the album itself, I still don't know whether I like it or not. I dunno...as a long time big fan of hers, this is the first time I'm feeling this way. Well its a refreshing change from her previous albums. I guess I'm still not used to the change?

Few days ago I made my first purchase over the phone. I think the week before or something Juicy Couture website updated new sunglasses and there's this oversized sunglasses that looks exactly like my dior one but in pink! I really wanted it but at that time it says it won't be available till end of april....so I decided to wait. Few days later, I checked again and it says end of march...so I decided to wait for a few days to order when they'll actually have it in stock. Few days ago I checked again and the pink ones are all gone! o_o...only the other two colors that I don't care about are still there. That sucks...so I went to Neiman Marcus and they're also out of the pink...and only the pink one....sigh...so I went to Nordstrom and finally they have it! They ship to Canada but I have to place my order by phone. It was kinda risky giving out my credit card info and everything over the phone but I wanted the sunglasses badly...its so cute in pink! Hopefully everything went through ok and I'll receive it in the mail soon!

Solution to chapped lips?

I have dry lips all the time...its very annoying! Last night I decided to browse the internet for solutions and I found a product that many people recommend using to get rid of chapped lips...and that is vaseline! =O Its suppose to work like wonders?! Well I figure it was worth a try so I went to shoppers and bought one. Some ppl say just put vaseline on your lips before you go to bed every night and apply chap stick during the day should to the trick but others say put vaseline on the lips and brush it lightly with a toothbrush once a week and apply chap stick whenever its necessary. I'm guessing both works and its just a matter of preference? Well...I'm gonna try tonight and see how it goes~!!

My new gadget and decoden

I got a new ipod touch~ Honestly I never cared about owning stuff like this...you know electronics that's in and everyone else have...but I'm glad I got this ipod touch coz its very fun and useful aside from the usual stuff- mp3, videos. I always thought it was just a regular mp3 player with a touch screen XD...well if I cared before I would of known! The thing I like the most about this touch is that I can download applications- games, and useful tools like dictionaries, translators, measurement convertors, etc. I guess this is goodbye to my other mp3 player which I really liked. XD

Few days ago I bought a new case and screen protector for my touch....its baby pink. =D I'm planning to cover it with swarovski rhinestones. They're a lot more expensive than acrylic ones but they're a lot more sparkly. *_* I bought a decoden book the other day at the Japanese book store...it teaches you how to put rhinestones on cell phones and other handheld stuff. Its really popular in Japan and many girls do it. I knew about this a long time ago but didn't look into it till now. Aside from covering cellphones with rhinestones, they make the cellphones like cakes...they add fake pastry creams and fruit slices, tiny biscuits and icecream scoops that I think are made out of polymer clay? on it. It's very cute! but it makes the item a lot thicker coz they stick out.

Here is a pic I found at dolce deco of the cake deco that I was talking about. In case if you don't know, underneath the thick layer is a pink ds...in other words, all that is stuck on to the cover of the ds...XD...so cute! I'm definitely gonna try it!

Postal Rant....

sigh...I hate having to deal with clueless people that they should know what they're doing and lazy people. I know when you're new to the job it takes time to adjust to it and learn what you need to know...but after 2 months and yet you still make the same simple mistake is bad! What's worse is the customer had to explain to you the difference and yet you have to disagree and argue while looking clueless is seriously... I don't know what to say. >_>...Lately I've been having to deal with these clueless and lazy people at the post offices that it makes me very frustrated. These clueless and lazy postal people all have one thing in common...they create huge line ups. Clueless people ofcourse don't know what they're doing so they take a long time. Lazy people knows what they're doing but takes their time doing the most unnecessary little things. Out of the 7 postal offices I've been to, only 3 people knows what they're doing and efficient. It's seriously my lucky day if they happen to be working when I go there. Today was one of those unlucky days...I seriously wanted to punch her face and bang her head on the monitor...XD...it was really ridiculous.

Last week I ayu's new single arrived in the mail. =D Came with 3 posters with 2 of the same one. (The cover of the cd+dvd and the drawing of ayu as goku by the original dragonball manga artist.) One of the songs is the theme song of the upcoming live action dragonball movie that looks like its gonna suck...XD...well atleast the song itself is good~ =D Well here's pics of my new posters and the 3 versions of the single~

midterm is coming soon!

sigh...midterm is coming soon...=(...its been a while since my last midterm exam so I'm a bit worried about it. Next week I'll study my butt off at the library! I can't study at home...I'll end up snacking and browsing on ebay...XD

End of last month I told myself not to buy anything this month to save for my courses...but I failed...XD...this is no good! but I know if I don't buy them, I'll seriously regret it later. I preordered ayu's new album in the 2cd+dvd and USB memory stick. Ayu is the first major Japanese artist to release music in the USB format. As a big fan of hers, this is a must get item! The USB is out of print already. Within an hour since its up for preorders in cd sites. Thank god I was able to preorder one! I highly doubt it'll be available on the shelves even on the release day. Next week Feb 25th is the release day of ayu's new single rule/sparkle. Both songs are really awesome! I pre-ordered all 3 versions. Can't wait to get them in the mail next week!

Last night I found a really nice Juicy bag on ebay and it was a good deal too! I remember seeing that bag on the Juicy website last fall and I wanted it back then. I don't care if its a past season bag...I really like how it looks and since it was a good deal, I bought it! and now I'm broke...XD...well I'll just have to work even harder now!

weehee~

Got my bag last week =D...shipping was really fast but had to pay custom fees...that part sucks...>_>...I feel like I'm back to few years ago when a lot of my clothes and accessories were pink...XD...so yea..here's a pic of my bag with my Yuki peeking out from it...lol...now I'm planning on getting those Juicy velour zip-up hoodies...in pink, light purple, grey, and black. I used to wear zip-up hoodies a lot few years ago for work but they kinda suck...can't wear them out anymore. These Juicy ones are more expensive but the cutting looks way better compared to them. Gotta save up!

I went to the fabric store few days ago...and thank god I went coz they had new fabrics in! I went coz I ran out of pink plain fabric...and I ended up coming out with a big bag of fabrics!...XD Now I'm in the process of making new stuff...need to get some new supplies...so I'll probably have them up in a few weeks. Hope I get them soon!

Sleepy...@_@

omg...so sleepy from reading the textbook! but I have to finish the chapter today...coz the next one needs to be done tomorrow...so that I won't be last minute! I finished my assignment the day before even though its due tomorrow. I'm quite proud of myself. =D I used to do homework last minute...like the night before the due date...lol...but now I changed! I feel so much better now that it's already done! Now I just have to finish reading the 2 chapters, do the stupid questions, and I'll be done for the week! woohoo~

ah yes...I finally bought my Juicy laptop bag...I bought the pink one...coz by the time I want to buy the grey one, someone else bought it. >_>...oh well...I like pink too. I guess it was a good thing I bought the pink one instead of waiting to see if a gray one will be listed again...coz I don't see any pink or gray ones on ebay anymore after I bought the pink one. I paid express so it should arrive shortly...hopefully. There's a huge snow storm down in the states...so hopefully that won't affect the delivery time too much. I should receive it next week...hehe and annoy the crap out of my bf with my girly pink bag....hehehe

Custom Order

This hoodie was a custom order I did last week. The customer wanted the black skull print with black hood strings on a yellow hoodie. It turned out pretty good...black on yellow. =D....I've been getting some custom requests at Etsy for different types of hoodies. One request was zip-up hoodies. I actually thought of making zip-up hoodies a long time ago and I tried making one before...but I wasn't satisfied with the result. I never liked working with zippers...its really a pain in the butt to sew it on fabrics especially thicker fabrics like the sweatshirt fleeces...so I don't think I will make zip-up hoodies any time soon.

Continuing from my last post...I went to below the belt to see if they still have the pink Juicy Couture laptop bag I wanted and they don't have it anymore....sigh...this is like the 3rd time they don't have what I wanted. First it was the pink Juicy daydreamer bag which I ended up getting a different black one from the Juicy website, second was the rain boots which I ended up buying from ebay, and third is this laptop bag which I will end up buying on ebay as well. Sigh...I'm always too late. I was browsing on ebay for the past few days...they have the pink laptop bag I wanted (which is good)...they also have it in black (which was one of my choices)...and then there's one listing for a grey one!! The grey one looks really nice. It's practical like the black but not as boring. Now I'm deciding grey or pink...>_>...the listing for the grey one ends tomorrow...so I have to decide fast! I like them both equally. >.<...oh man...

Mission accomplished!

Ah! It feels so good not having to worry about certain something for another half a year!~ I got my bf a Valentines day gift today. It wasn't exactly what I was planning to get before I went to get it...I ended up getting a better one...a little more expensive but it's suppose to be better. I hope he likes it and will be surprised. I guess my gifts haven't been that surprising to him....haven't seen his surprise look for a long time...so this time I'm going for the unexpected...lol....well if he IS expecting this from me, then that sucks. -____-...times like this....I wish he wasn't so conscious about me....sometimes he knows me too well for my liking....its like I'm too predictable. >_>

Hmm....what's new since my last update? Lots of stuff! Something very unusual happened to me. I was addicted to the Twilight novels. o_O...omg....at first I bought the first 2 books: Twilight and New moon...I thought those would last me till May. (That's when the paperback version of Eclipse and breaking dawn is gonna be released)...but I ended up finishing the 2 books in 4 days! This is really unbelievable for me coz I don't read novels! The last time I read novels was for English class in high school...even then...it was hard for me to just read one chapter. The Twilight saga novels are really good and addicting. Once you start reading them, its hard to let go. Right after I finished the first 2 books, I went back to Chapters to get the 3rd and 4th book in hard cover. They were out of the 3rd one (Eclipse) at that time....only breaking dawn...so I got it....that was really really depressing...sigh...but good thing they restocked them after a few days. I ended up finishing the last 2 books in 5 days...coz they're a bit thicker than the first 2. I like how the whole thing ended. If I have time, I'll read the novels again. =D...hehe...I really hope they'll publish Midnight Sun. The story is very interesting in Edward's perspective...kinda funny too. They're also releasing the official guide book in May...muhahaha...I'm so getting it! =D

I've been getting this little craze for Juicy Couture stuff. Actually I liked this brand for quite a few years now but never bought any of their stuff for some reason. I guess maybe I've been concentrating on spending most of my money on doll stuff too much?..lol Their bags, jewelleries and accessories are what attracts me. I don't like their clothing besides the track suits...anyways... yea...I'm slowly building up my Juicy collection. This is like my new 'hobby'....so far I have the gold and silver starter charm bracelets, a black ring bling day dreamer bag, and a pair of pink sammy rain boots. My next purchases will be charms and a pink laptop bag. I was planning to go to below the belt today to see if they still have the pink juicy laptop bag I want...but I didn't have time to go. =( I hope they still have it...last time I saw it was a few weeks ago...o_O...actually I've been debating whether I should get black or pink...black is more durable but pink looks better. Since I don't see myself using it that often, I'm gonna get pink. I want to bring my laptop over to my bf's...so I can work on my stuff while he plays games or something. I can do my homework or my new business project....so yes I will need a bag! hehehehe...
