Youtube

Hello Pixies!

I just want to say that my Youtube channel finally have some activities going on. I'm gonna try putting up some videos there as often as possible because I just need to have another output for my creativity. Videos that will be posted there will mostly revolve around artworks, crafts, D-I-Y projects and probably some about my dolls or the hobby of doll collecting. I might throw in some vlogs if I'm in the mood to do so. Although my day to day activities are boring and I'm not quite sure if I should share it haha. I'll probably end up shooting some snippets of my daily routine or whatever I am scheduled to do on a particular day.

Anyway, it's 4 in the morning and I need to sleep. I intended to sleep earlier that 4 honestly but the video takes forever to upload in my channel. Here is the one I just uploaded.


Seriously, I gotta hit the sheets now. I'll post a much longer post on my next update.

Upcoming Wedding and Christmas Wish List

Hello pixies!

It's December and it's almost Christmas!

What are the things (material or non-material) listed on your wish list? Honestly, I really don't have a Christmas wishlist but it will be nice if I will receive this cute owl mug I saw while browsing for stuffs with owl theme on it. You probably don't know but I have this little obsession with owls (and foxes actually). So when I do window shopping  and saw something about owls, I can't help but stop and admire it. It's a good thing that I'm not an impulsive shopper or I would probably be penniless all the time.

Anyway, I only have simple wishes this Christmas, good health for me and my family, peace on earth (I promise this might be a cliche but this is something we truly need), for my online business to improve more, and for more "event planning gigs to come."

Since I already mentioned event planning, I'll jump on the next topic of my post for the day. I have a college friend who's getting married this coming 27th. She's one of my closest friend and I'm glad that I am a part of the group who's going to coordinate on her wedding day. I'm proud to say that I have a huge part in the decorations for the reception because that's what I love doing. I love being crafty and artsy and it's the perfect task for me.

I'll probably post a video or photos of the event on this blog so I can at least document it online. I'm pretty excited and nervous as this will be my first time assisting in a wedding. It's also fortunate that the other people who's assisting on the wedding are my college friends as well. However, just to set the record straight, I'm not the head coordinator on this one as I'm a newbie when it comes to wedding planning... I'm just happy that I'm part of this experience.

Well, wish me and my friends luck, that this wedding and reception will run as smooth as we ever wanted.
May the odds be ever in our favor! Yeah. I'm a fan of the Hunger Games series. :)

Sort of Art Dump or Art Dump 0.1

Hello pixies!

I decided to share some of the artworks I did for the past months this year because I haven't posted anything here since August. This month and next month will probably be the busiest month for me because I'm helping out my friends coordinate our friend's wedding. having said that I'm not sure if I can update this blog next month. So to make up for that, as I said before, I'll be sharing my artworks here.

Here they are:

Sorry for the heavy load of pictures but I've done quite a number of artworks while not blogging so yeah...
My art inspiration were usually about fashion. There's one though (modern Snow White) which I did for an art contest which has a theme of drawing a Disney character in a modern outfit. Obviously that one was inspired by Disney+latest fashion trends.

Aside from drawing, I have some bonding moments with my dolls so I've been taking their pictures too. here are some of the latest photos of my beautiful dollies:

Dolls featured in these photos were Jewel (an Oasisdoll Natalie) and Stardust (Asleep Eidolon Mignon). They are called ball-jointed dolls if you are curious about it. I've been a ball-jointed dolls owner since 2012. I wish to expand my doll family if I became rich in the future. :)

Alrighty, that's it for now!

Dollie Loves

Hello pixies,

It's almost the end of August and I realized I haven't blogged in a while. Since I just finished updating my Hubpage account, why not include blogging as well? I've been busy, yes that's a cliche but seriously I am. I've been sleeping late (like 4am-5am late) because I feel more awake and energized doing crochet works in the wee hours of morning. By the way, there's a reason why I'm crocheting a lot during the past days, weeks...

I and my friend Nanz attended a doll event last Saturday. This event is sort-of a gathering for doll owners to mingle but the main focus was to buy stuffs for dolls. Nanz and I had a booth, (well it's her booth since she paid for it haha - you're probably reading this Nanz!) and we sell doll clothes and hats. Since I'm not good with sewing, Nanz handled the clothing items while I do the crocheting part. It's really hard to explain our arrangement but we're partners in crime here LOL.

Okay, these lovely ladies are our dolls. The one on your left is Cece who belongs to Nanz and the one on the right with the red headband is Stardust, my first child haha. These girls accompanied us trying to charm buyers (I think they scared them away... kidding!) Do you like their head accessories? I made those! Haha!

Our booth! Yay! It took as 1 hour and some sweat to set this up. We didn't put any effort with the display because we just don't have time and we have been busy with the products we're selling. However, we're glad to be part of this event. :)

Besties Cece and Stardust just love to be in front of a camera. I'm glad they didn't fall off because that will be a disaster! They behaved well and gave us a break so we can just focus on selling.

Our day ended with a high note because Nanz won a wig for her other doll Simone! She finally won in a raffle haha! We both have no luck with contests or raffles and this one broke the record! Kudos!

Alrighty before I end my post for today, I want to share two of my recent BJD earflap hat creation inspired by Doctor Who and Adventure Time! (Note: Don't ask me anything about Doctor Who because I haven't seen the show yet , except for the fist episode of the first season). I was commissioned to do this and this was my interpretation:

 and Jake-inspired from Adventure Time:

Love it or hate it?

Thanks for reading my post and I hope I didn't bore you at all. I even included some pictures to add visuals :) LOL

Angels and Demons

Hello pixies!

Weather is getting much better here, thank God. However according to the news I've heard earlier, there is another storm forming somewhere near the country so this means no "happy" times yet. Well, I actually have a crochet project to do but I need to condition my mind and mood first before I do that, otherwise I'll keep on untangling the wrong parts which will be a complete waste of time. So since I haven't blog in awhile, this is the perfect time for me to do so.

You might be wondering why my title sounds familiar. Yes it's a title of a book which was made into a movie. But... it's not about that. It's actually about the Mortal Instruments. You see, I just finished reading the 6 books few days ago and I love it. I guess for someone who loves the fantasy genre with a mix of supernatural elements, these books are pretty good. Mortal Instruments for those who haven't read the book nor have seen the movie is all about angels, half-angels, demons, or what they called in the book "downworlders" composed of werewolves, vampires, fairies and warlocks. What attracted me most into reading this is because it involves a battle between angels and demons. It's your typical good vs.evil themed story but with a lot of twists.

I wouldn't compare it to other books like LOTR or Harry Potter or Hunger Games because each of them have their own unique plot which is very different from each other. I wouldn't go far to say that Mortal Instruments is my favorite book because it's not. What I'm saying is it's a very good book and I would read it again.

By the way, this is actually not a book review for those 6 books. I just want to share my overall thoughts on this series. I love how the author Cassandra Clare  injected some humor into the story. I'm now currently reading Clockwork Angel which is the first book out of three of the prequel for The Mortal Instruments. I also found out that she will also release a sequel so that's another thing to look forward to.

Alright then, time for me to get back to business.

Reading City of Bones

Hey there pixies!

It's currently 1:51 am here and I'm still wide awake. I made myself a cup of coffee an hour ago because I was craving for caffeine and now I can feel the effect. Usually, I drink coffee to make myself sleepy. Yep, it has that effect on me. Am I weird or does anybody know someone who has the same thing going on with them when they drink coffee?

Why am I talking about coffee anyway? That's not the point of my blog today. What I want to talk about is the book City of Bones. As some who might have read my previous blogs, I mentioned that I've been reading books with dystopian themes like the popular Hunger Games series. I just finished reading the Maze Runner trilogy (I love it but the last book is not on the same level as the first two books in my opinion). I felt there's something missing with the last book Death Cure but anyway, I'm not gonna dwell on that subject. I'll save that for a later post.

Anyway, City of Bones is not about dystopian theme, it's a fantasy book with an urban setting. It is the first book out of six in The Mortal Instruments series. I've seen the film before I started reading this one (I'm not yet done reading it) and so far the film changed and erased a lot of things from the book. Still, even though the film didn't follow a lot of things from the book I will still watch the second film (if ever they continue making it) not because I'm a fan of Lily Collins - the girl who portrayed Clary, the heroine of the series but because I still love the concept/idea of the story.

Anyway, I think I might need to read the book again once I'm done as there are parts that I wasn't able to digest well. So if you are interested with urban-fantasy story, this book is for you.

Sorry for this quick post. I'm supposed to make an "Art Dump" post as I've got lots of drawings I want to show you but I'm using my brother's desktop. I'll upload my artworks for the past weeks here when I'm using Yuffie (my laptop) alrighty?

Creating Art Dump

Hello Pixies,

It's been a long, long, long time since I posted something here. I've been doing a lot of "child-sitting" and 90% of my attention is focused on my niece. I love it when she's here although I need to watch out what I do (like watching GoT which is not the kind of show that children should watch).

This post by the way is just a quick one as I'm writing an article on a notebook (yes, I still use notebook even though there's a thing called notepad in the computer). This article by the way will be up on my hubpage account maybe tomorrow or on Saturday depending on my mood and the rotational brownout going on here.

My main reason why I updated today is to tell you that I'll be doing "Art Dump" post where I blog about the artworks I did for the past weeks or month that I didn't get the chance to post yet. So the title for those blog post will be called "Art Dump 1 or Art Dump 0.1 or something like that. I can't still decide what title should I use but for now I think I'll stick with that.

Alright then gotta go back to more serious task. (Ain't my job, I just love to share my thoughts on hubpage *wink*)
