all i want for christmas is.....all these

I know, I know...I suck. It's been well over a month since my previous update and I don't have any reason other than usual ones, you know them all by heart now. Since it's mid-December, I think it'd be appropriate to make a Christmas list detailing all the things I don't need and want (and...

otakuthon goods 2013

Ok, it's been forever since I've done one of my real posts where I take pictures of my kawaii instead of just being lazy and screen capping all the newest kawaii goods. I went to Otakuthon, our local anime convention with my friend Suzy back in August. It was my first time attending last year and...

zombbet goods

It's been a while and I apologize again for not updating \(-___________-;)/. CMA has started again and I just experienced working with my new team. It was...bad. One of our team members was pulled out two days before the assignment was due (he failed the rewrite and just got the results), another...

rilakkuma happy natural time re-ments

Bwah! It's been forever, I apologize. I've been obsessively playing Animal Crossing whenever I have any free time and CMA started again. Because of the intense kawaii level of the Happy Natural Time series, San-x decided to make some re-ments for the collection also! There's a huge "HOMEMADE" sign...

zombbet: new san-x character

I want to thank everyone for your support and advice concerning my previous post. To be honest, I was surprised by the amount of kindness and tips I received. Since then, I have been eating well and have cut back on the amount I eat and even though there aren't any visible changes (at least...

weight loss blues

Sorry everyone, this isn't going to be a kawaii post so all you kawaii readers can ignore this post and wait for the next one. Some of you may know that I've been trying to lose weight for...ever. Ok, not really forever, but ever since I gained a lot of weight, too much weight to go uncorrected....

kawaii presents from florence

Oh wow, so many things happened in the two weeks! We lost power on Wednesday from 5 PM until 11 something (I went to bed at 9:30 PM) and lost power again on Thursday from 3 PM to 8:30 PM (thankfully, I was out and the power had returned just when I got home). I got food poisoning since Friday morning...

leaked - rilakkuma forest series?

I want to apologize for being MIA for the past two weeks. I've been feeling really unmotivated to blog and the weather has been utter crap so my pictures turn out really dark and gloomy and I'm too lazy to learn how to edit photos.... ( ̄^ ̄) And Animal Crossing: New Leaf has been consuming every...

japan exclusive kawaii

I've been meaning to make a post about this (and tons of other things) but this package arrived right before my CMA exam. I didn't even open it until a few days after I received it and I only opened it and glanced at every thing, didn't even enjoy them 【・ヘ・】 When my exam was over, a bunch of...

Kapibara-san Re-ment - Happy Cooking!

Kapibara-san Happy Cooking re-ments. How is it that this came out and I didn't even know about it!? As far as I know, the last Kapibara-san re-ments that came out was last summer and I managed to pick up the whole set when I was in Hong Kong. I still need to make a post about my Asia trip,...

25th birthday

Birthday Cake from my family Saturday, April 27th, was my birthday. Guess how old I turned!!!! The title of this post makes it obvious and it's not a trick question.... I turned 25! I can't believe it. Even a close family friend (who is retired and living the life in Hong Kong, traveling...

the 10 commandments (from a dog's perspective)

Taken from here I felt like I just had to share this. There was something about this piece that really spoke to me, probably because I'm a dog owner and animal lover. I believe this applies to all animals and not just dogs. It always breaks my heart and boils me up when I hear about people...

new sumikkogurashi collection

I'm super excited to let everyone know that San-x has decided to make another line of Sumikko Gurashi goods! I love this group of silly characters and I would even say that it's one of my favourite San-x character designs. I just hope that they'll continue making more goods for these characters,...

who says octopi can't be cute? C:。ミ

Whenever we think of octopus, we always think of the slimy, slightly unattractive 8-armed cephalopod. Ew But after this post, you will forever think of octopus as totally kawaii. Since I work downtown, I always wander around during my lunch break (because if I take my lunch in my office, it's...

april fools and packages of joy

APRIL FOOLS! Hahaha! How many of you believed my previous post? I hope none of you felt too bummed about my "announcement" and I didn't lose too many subscribers over that prank. So good news! I'm not going to delete my blog, even though I won't be posting nearly as much. Ok, now here's...

bye bye smells like sushi (。´⌒`。)

Hey everyone, I'm sadden to say I'm going to close my blog. I finished my CMA assignment on Friday and I realized that I really need to dedicate more time to prepare for my exam in May. Also, with my full-time job, I really doubt I'll have much time to blog. I tried to make a post this long weekend...

new job means new clothes!

As you know, I got a new job and I start on Monday, March 18th. But because it's at an upscale hotel/apartment, I needed the proper clothes. I only have one suit and maybe two nice tops and one extra blazer, definitely not enough clothes for a full-time job at a fancy complex. You know what that me...

You're probably all tired of staring at my Sasa haul (as awesome as it is) so I've decided to make a post about some of my backlogged kawaii that's in need of some attention. Two of my long awaited plushes finally arrived on Wednesday and I've selected some of my kawaii to be featured in today's post. This...

sasa beauty haul

I ordered some beauty items from the global beauty and makeup distributor, Sasa, they finally arrived on Monday, yay! Those of you who know me know that I'm not a makeup person, I'm too lazy and clueless about these things. Concealer? Foundation? Face powder? It's all the same to me.  Putting...

toromi and nyanpuku haul

I received this package from California about a month ago and it's about time I made a post about it. I'm so happy that San-x is coming out with new characters! Although I love their older designs like Tarepanda, Homekoro and Nagomimakuri, I'm not crazy about their more recent popular ones. Obviously,...
