New channel, new video

Hello pixies! 

It's been a productive Saturday for me. Just this afternoon, I decided to shoot a quick do-it-yourself video for my an arts and crafts youtube channel. I also manage to edit it this evening and I'm happy to say that it's now uploaded! 

My other channel (the one I used to put my videos at) will still be active as that's where I'll be uploading videos not related to arts and crafts.

I'll also have another blog associated with my new channel so I can post written steps on it. I prefer that I separate random stuffs from my more subject specific channel. :)

The video above is a simple tutorial on how you can customize your keys bu just using one material: nail polish. Very easy to do and if you already have nail polish at home, then you don't need to spend anything! :)

Harry Potter universe is back!

If you are an avid fan of the Harry Potter series, I'm sure that you've already seen the latest photos for the upcoming movie related to the Potter universe, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This film is scheduled to hit the theaters next year but every Potterheads like me are already talking about this.

When Eddie Redmayne was cast to play the role of Newt Scamander, I already got that feeling that this film will turn out great. Redmayne has an impressive list of roles and had even won several awards including Best Actor in this year's Academy Awards for his role as Stephen Hawking in the movie Theory of Everything. So there's already a high expectation for the movie's outcome.

I love this teaser photo as it's very simple (no beasts or creatures surrounding him) because it focuses mainly on the lead actor/main character first. It definitely grabs attention and brings an excitement to everyone who's been waiting for this film to happen.

Just my personal opinion.

Just a little bit of ranting here ok? (please stay away from this post if you're not fond of rant posts).

Everyone of us has a list of "pet peeves" right? I'm not just the only one who gets easily annoyed by small stuff that our 5 senses can't stay away from. 

Let me share one out of too many pet peeves I have...

I seriously SERIOUSLY dislike seeing social media posts about personal prayers. You see, I'm a religious person and this stuff shouldn't really annoy me but HELLO? Why would you put personal prayers online specifically on social media accounts? I just don't get it. Other prayers are ok to share like for example prayer for World peace, good health etc that everyone can pray on their spare time and everyone can relate to. But prayers such as example, thank you for letting me get the job, pass the exam, etc. I don't know. Somehow for me putting prayers has its limitation. Firstly, who will read it? Does God have a social media account? If you want to thank the Lord, you should talk to him directly. there's nothing wrong with being spiritual but you should know how to practice it correctly. This is just my personal opinion, maybe for others this stuff doesn't bother them. Oh well, everyone has a freedom to express their selves so by all means go continue what you're doing. I just want to express what's inside my head now because I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to rant it directly to a friend -ehem Nanz! I'm pretty sure she has the same opinion on this matter as I 've ranted about this with her before. hahaha.

Okay I'm fine now. I was able to let my annoyance get out a bit so I'm good. :)

Looking Forward

There are two events I'm looking forward to... first is the upcoming trip next next weekend. This is a sort of hunting trip (not ghost, not animals) but more on food! hahaha! Yep, sort of a food trip with friends.

Second is the upcoming concert of One Ok Rock! Woot! woot! I seriously want to see a Jpop/Jrock band perform live and this is a big BIG chance for me. So I'm saving up so that I can afford the ticket! I hope this concert will pave way to other Japanese artist to perform here.

Anyhoo, I still have insomnia so I'll probably have blog posts during this time of the day/night? Whatever. I know you'll get what I mean.

Oh, I decided to make some Halloween hats for dolls which I'll be putting up on my store since it's almost Halloween time! I need to upload new items on my Etsy store and I'm squeezing some time for that despite the "sister duties" and other stuffs. I will definitely see to it that I will get back on drawing because I miss it SO much! Too many things I need to do but this time it's all about me. I'm no longer wasting my time for stuffs that I shouldn't have paid attention too much. I'm still doing my part but that's it.

What else... okay, I always find myself laughing or smiling like an idiot whenever I have this chat conversations with  my friends everyday, everynight. We have this group chat where we talk about our day and then later on our topic will shift to Aldub. If you don't know what Aldub is, you have to search it. It was pretty hilarious how we discuss this, like we are in an Anonymous group. Hahaha but seriously, we are solid Eat Bulaga and the concepts they create are truly brilliant.That's the only local show I am watching aside from the news.

Okay, enough about this random stuffs. I gotta iron some clothes first "sister duties" and then I'll continue what I'm reading which is Kite Runner. Ugh I can't finish that book (ebook to be specific) because I'm scared about the fate of one of the characters of the book even though I already know what will happen hahaha. But I always finish a book so I gotta continue reading it. It's a good book and I recommend you read it.

Dream on fairies!


*If you see spelling mistakes just ignore it, I've been typing like a mad woman because there are just too many things I have to say which I wanted to share. *

Here.

Well... I'm back!

A lot of things happened that I can't even remember everything. But I can say that I will need to take a short break from crocheting because that's what I've been doing for the last couple of months in preparation for the two events.

Oh those two events - were awesome! I'm not going to go on further details but I really enjoyed attending and selling my items. It was quite an experience.

Anyway, I'm trying to go back on track despite some disappointments I felt with recent events. I'm going to focus on my most important priorities because I've neglected them as my attention was focused on things that other people neglected before. This time, I think I deserve to step aside, chill and take a break... have a kitkat LOL.

Errands and a little bit of patience needed!

Hello pixies!

I hope everyone's having a great day/afternoon/night. (FYI: This post are just ramblings of how I spent my day so if this is not your kind of thing to read, you can skip it. No hard feelings haha)

I've been one busy bee today. I woke up at around 8 in the morning which is too early for me because I had a long list of agenda that needs to be done. Oops, I just took a glance on my computer's screen and I didn't realize it's already 12:38 am, so technically I'm telling you the events from yesterday.

Anyway, going back, I've got this list of agenda. Around 9am I need to be at my mom's eye doctor's clinic to get an endorsement form that I can present to Philcare (which is a medical benefits services offered by the company my brother's working with) so that we don't have to pay for her next eye surgery which is today... in just a few hours. Fortunately, I accomplished that. After that my mom asked me to buy something including a takeout lunch which took up half of the time I spent outside. It was sunny so it's really, really hot but I'm not complaining because I would be so pissed off if it rained because the area where the hospital was built was (and still is) prone to flood. So... I'd rather sweat than wade in the flood.

I was home before lunch, which is a good thing because I seriously don't want to miss watching my favorite noontime show Eat Bulaga! I feel like my day won't be complete if I didn't get to watch it. They are not on  during Sundays so that's an exception.

Alright, in the afternoon, I get to relax a bit then my mom informed me that I need to accompany her to the bank so we can settle something. This was by the way not on my list because my brother was supposed to be the one who will accompany her but he called to inform us that he needs to finish something from the office and won't be able to come home earlier than expected. Oh---kay. Just so you know, it rained during our trip to the bank which is no surprise because I think I have "rain" as a twin. Every time I go out, it rains and I just don't know why.

So everything I said has been completed but I'm a little bit tired and drained of energy to move so it shifted my mood from all bright and sun shiny, to a bit "easily irritated" and frustrated. I mean I've been walking and commuting and carrying heavy stuffs all day and I still have things to do (like crochet products to sell and do some house chores like wash the dishes etc.)

Oh, and speaking of wash the dishes, I got a little bit, okay, I got pissed off big time by what tool place this evening. You see, I ordered takeout for dinner again and I, my mom and younger brother ate dinner earlier than my big brother since he's not home from work yet. So we used just a few stuffs that needs to be washed like glasses, utensils etc. So I only washed few things this evening. Then here comes my kuya (we call big brother as kuya here in the Philippines) and he told us that he's not hungry yet since he just ate something before getting home. After an hour or 2 I think, he came down, ate he's share of the takeout and he used a utensil - spoon and fork. So that's the only two pieces of object that needs to cleaned. It will only took a person to clean it less than a minute.

Guess what he did after he ate his dinner? he left the spoon and fork beside the sink. WOW! I can't express how irritated/disappointed I am (I did express my sentiments to my friend Nanz earlier while we are chatting haha) by that simple task that was left to... I don't know... whoever cares to clean those utensils... did he really expect any of us beside him to clean those two valuable items? *sarcasm here*

Well... did I scold him for that? No. Because I can't. He's older than me and I'm just really tired of using what energy I still have left on an argument that will lead to nowhere. I'm really sorry for ranting about this kind of stuff here, I did tried my best in maintaining my blog as bright as possible but I just need to blurt this out. I am thankful to Nanz because you see, we always chat using WeChat every day especially at night and we talked about this incident and it's just comforting to be able to rant about this to someone who will understand where you're coming from. (knowng Nanz if she read this, which I think she will because she's one of the only few who really reads this LOL, will answer me by saying, "you're coming from (insert street name here)." Hahaha.

Yes, so that's my story today. Pretty long huh? I can imagine the reaction of a blog hopper who happens to stumble here and read this. He/She might be thinking, this girl is totally hot-tempered and full of angst and rants in life. Haha. No I'm not. Today just happens to be one of those days in which negative vibes keeps swarming around you. (My positive fairy vibes didn't work yesterday.)

Anyway, I should call it a night. It's already 1:08am and I need to be energized this afternoon as I and Nanz will probably meet up to buy some last minute items in Divisoria, that we can use for our August event.
I hope you are having a wonderful day so far!

Just to end my blog with something light and might put a smile on your face, here's my doll Stardust's most recent picture. :)

My ball-jointed doll Stardust would also like to send you some positive vibes today!

Sprinkling you with positive fairy dust vibes!

A week of rain, rain and more rain...

Hello pixies! We currently have an awful weather here in the Philippines and so everybody's been trying to stay indoors with the exception of those who still need to go to work. I feel for them because I've been in that position for 5 years when I'm still working in an actual office.

Anyway, the rain's been pouring non-stop (I think I've established that one already) and it's making me lazy! Cold weather is bed weather and it's not a good thing for me at this moment because I need to keep on crocheting. I've been crocheting little amigurumi keychains that I can sell on two upcoming events this August so laziness is a no-no. But this weather just makes me want to curl up on the bed and read my favorite books.

I'm not really sure what the point of this post is but I just want to have a quick."chat" with whoever is reading this. Come to think of it...I'm not even sure if someone will bother to read this. Haha! (what a waste of time huh?)

It's already 11:47 pm here and I need to be up and early tomorrow for Sunday mass so I guess that's it for now. Hopefully I can post something more meaningful on my next update (still depends on my mood though.).

Sprinkling you with positive fairy vibes dust!
