Me and Barbie Odile
So last summer, I decided to give my Odile a little hair makeover. She’s definitely my favorite Odile and I wanted her to look more like me, sooo… With absolutely zero experience, I grabbed a random bottle of black Rit Dye and dipped her hair to achieve her new look. Then, I gave her bangs. […]

A Little Doll Reunion with Birthday Wishes Barbie
Had time to re-unbox my Birthday Wishes Barbie 2012 after so many years! Birthday Wishes was a gift from my boyfriend, so I have to admit, it kinda annoyed me at first when people ask how much I’m selling her for. 😂 She’s been with me for more than 13 years and I have zero plans of […]

Is Toycon PH 2026 Worth It?
One thing I noticed: the item that I was eyeing at Popmart store was priced twice as much at Toycon. The box was also dented, and the same item was still available in the official store! So, yes, I went to Popmart after Toycon to get my Crybaby Shiny Shiny! I’ve been eyeing this plushie […]

How I ended up with too many plushies
It started with Hello Kitty and My Melody bag charm gifts… Then I saw Sanrio collabs and said “one won’t hurt” … biggest lie ever told lol. To be fair, it’s a Sailormoon x My Melody plushie! Found out USJ plushies (Universal Studios Japan) are expensive, so I became a professional affordable USJ hunter instead. […]

Elphaba and Glinda: There’s No Place Like Home
When the “Wicked” movie finally hit the big screen, I could barely contain my excitement. I wasn’t a big fan as in memorizing all the lines but I liked the fact that they’ll turn it into a movie. I’m more of a Wizard of Oz fan and it’s connected in some ways, anyway, so my […]

Birthday Dolls
Here’s Franchesca, helping me celebrate the pink day… Because I literally just woke up to this pink surprise. Franchesca is originally named Hilary, sculpted by my favorite porcelain dollmaker Dianna Effner in 1988. She’s 24″ tall and sits perfectly in my pink high chair. This year, I also welcomed 2013 Barbie Silkstone Luncheon Ensemble. She’s […]

My Rainbow High and Shadow High Girls
A gift from last year, unwrapped this year. Happiness feels so much greater when I don’t unbox all presents at once. I always like saving a few for later, stretching the excitement over several days (or years!) instead of squeezing it into one moment. It’s almost like I’m giving myself little bursts of joy every […]

Life in a Dreamhouse
Lately, I’ve struggled to write or enjoy the things that once brought me joy even something as simple as dressing up. I had to decline several projects that I now regret. Life took an unexpected turn when I had to care for my senior cat, Paopao, after he was diagnosed with cancer. We did everything […]

Happy Easter Dolls!
On the spotlight: Danbury Mint “Trick or Treat” Porcelain Doll, whom I thought was so perfect for the season and “Melissa” Easter Porcelain Doll from the same doll maker. My TY Beanie Babies, Hippity, Hoppity, Floppity also wanted to celebrate with us. They’re the 1996 plushies which are often sought after by nostalgic collectors. I […]
