Christmas is in the air~

The crowd can really alter the Christmas spirit. Most people are at the mall for their Christmas shopping. And me? Ohh I hate crowds so I just stayed at home all day (actually since Black Friday). I ate half gallon of Kitkat ice cream and drank my favorite Moo drink. I think that's the best way to avoid the crazy people. With this, I was also able to save my money~

Still, it didn't stop me from being fashionable. Instead of wearing the usual pj's at home, I wore my favorite bow sweater and knitted beanie with pompom~ both from Sparkle Shop!

I'm planning to do my Christmas shopping next week, prolly in the morning. I'd be visiting tiangge and bazaars around Manila. Hopefully, there would be no snatchers or holdappers around. I'm excited! Mukya~

The Russian Freeze

Ok, as I've promised, here are the shots taken a couple of weeks ago for our random photoshoot:

Ok, forgive the severely out-of-shape hand I have there. I have a great future being a contortionist. This shot reminds me of Sadako from The Ring Zero:

 ....

It creeped me out! XD

We also played with my friend's cam's auto filters like black & white and soft pixels:

Nothing good with the experiment haha~ I guess we have to practice more. Fuuuu~ T^T

Till our next photoshoot~

No more crying, baby~

A wonderful camwhoring morning with one of my most favorite porcelain dolls, Caroline. It was 5 in the morning when I thought of taking her out of the glass cabinet.

 

Arms and legs are articulated. Im planning to buy baby clothes for her this Christmas.

Oh, look at that sad face... she's about to cry!

A close up shot

Oh~ time to go to the office...

We're both sad :c

My Bag a Schu Bag Prize

Ok, for those who do not know, I won the 1st place for the Bag a Schu Bag contest at 

http://schushopmanila.blogspot.com/

I claimed my bag at the Schu outlet in Ayala after work. I preferred getting the bag after work since the ambiance of the store is better at night. I took some photos while waiting for my bag~

 

And look how many stocks they have there!

 

 Here's kuya, preparingmy item~

 

And some photos with the staff members:

I would like to thank the staff for being cooperative and very accomodating. I haven't used my bag yet but as I inspect, the bag is made of synthetic leather and has a good quality material especially with the inner lining. I'm so excited to use my bag tomorrow~

Thank you Schu for this great opportunity to grab a Schu bag! Thanks also for the people who have supported and liked my entry for this contest!

Madeleine: A new addition to my collection

Last week, my cat was kidnapped or catnapped rather and that made me so depressed and out of focus with work. I had good/bad dreams about him every night, even on my power naps in the MRT! I hope he's ok where he is right now...

So yesterday, I decided to pamper myself at the thrift shop and look what I've got! A super cute doll with dark skin tone and two front teeth :D

 Madeleine's first steps.

"Mommy tied a red ribbon around my waist..."

"...and a red ribbon on my head too!"

She's not a porcelain doll, just made from plastic but she's sooo cute I can't resist!

Mr. Gingerbread Man~

15 hours. I work 15 hours in a day since last week. Not healthy anymore, eh? It's because I work in the office as a web designer from 8am til 6pm while managing my online shop. Then, I do book illustrations as I get home and will prolly finish it by around 3 or 4am. So stressed I love my work.

Oh~ doing children's books is my dream~ I started with the Gingerbread Man. Im not so familiar with the story. On the part where supposedly the Gingerbread man jumped from the tray and ran away from Grandma, I drew a scene like Gingerbreadman waving goodbye to a smiling grandma XD

 Haha~ I was making up my own story. I just ask for the storyline from Ms. Shiny, my korean supervisor, so that the illustrations and the character's expressions would be accurate. Ms. Shiny didn't get mad or anything. In fact, she encouraged me more like saying: "Cheer up and keep your energies high! ^^ "

The people around me are just so supportive. I'm so thankful they've sprinkled me with love and care. I hope you do too :3

Tavssi

It means "Thank you" in Chuvash Russia. I wanna say thanks to all people who have supported and followed my blog for the past 4 months. Had a random photoshoot last Saturday with my college friends. It was also Kisho's birthday celebration so I was able to meet one of her high school friends / Sparkle Shop client. More photos to come!

Lady Love 目覚め　私は今　生まれ変わる Woah…

Wore this outfit on a lovely Saturday~ It was my boyfriend's sister's bithday celebration and we ate at Fish and Co. 

The pink blazer I was waiting for finally arrived! I'm really in love with it, and might wear it often now. Im so into pink recently~ Spotted a pink cute blouse at Trinoma and bought it without fitting the item first! It has an intricate lace design with pearl beads. The inner dress was just random cause I can't decide what skirt would match my cutesy outfit. Look closely at my head dress! Isn't it cute? Bought it online at Dorotee Sweetlips. She has a lot of lolita and gothic products for sale.

Weee~~~ Finally they arrived together with my bestfriend!

I think they're all from a thrift shop in Arizona. Natasha Miller (1983), Birthday (birthday gift), and Priscilla (surprise baby)

 

Natasha Miller named after the previous owner of this doll. Comes with a super cute  tea set.

Birthday is a special doll - she was a surprise gift from my best friend, and she's my first baby doll in blue.

Priscilla was also a surprise gift from my best friend. I was only expecting 2 dolls actually, I was really happy to see the plastic with 3 dolls :) Aren't they all look pretty?

Thank you so much dearie! I'll sprinkle them with love and care ♡

Let's Play

My friend went back here in the Philippines to visit her grandma and to have a reunion with us. We went to MOA and ended up playing bowling. Sadly, she'll have to go back to Arizona by Friday.
