Already got the registry notice for Arc and Sacchin

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!! XD XD XD

Arc and Sacchin made it home. For some odd reason, I feel like calling Sacchin as Sacha while Arc will remain Arc because she is Arc from Tsukihime, after all. :D

I was surprised that I got only one notice but I noticed that there was a note in green ink that there are two pieces that I have to claim. Yay! My girls are home. They will join Tami and Mishka on my desk tomorrow morning. Now I feel great and will be a bit bouncy because of this great news as well as the song playing on my laptop which happens to be a HalCali song called Pisudori.

So yeah, expect pictures tomorrow!

Welcome home Tami (Tamae)!

Tami thinks about the goodness of takoyaki

I wanted to make a custom of something and I thought that Tamae’s hair would be nice for it. Aside from that, she has clothes which I thought would be nice to have for a basic set now that I am still waiting for my HLJ orders to come home to me. Now Mishka (Mikimiki) won’t have to feel lonely when my sister brings Akito/Agito and Makimaki (Maki repaint) with her in the office.

Tamae’s face is growing on me though I wish her eyes were a different color. Maybe grey, blue or brown. But green. Hmmm. One more thing I love about her is her hand pose. It’s like she’s contemplating the meaning life, the universe and everything. (42!)

This afternoon I suddenly had to make a soundstage though it was sucky because I didn’t have much materials. I had to use a soundstage even I took pictures outside the house because we mainly have gravel. :( The plants haven’t grown nicely yet. But I like the colorful one the table on Mom’s sari-sari store.

Coke photoshoot

I made some hats for the girls last night. :) I was followed the tutorial by Yue. I even made a prototype for a hat with bunny ears but the ears were too short and flimsy.

My sister wanted to make Akito look gay though so she also made him strike a pose. ;)

akito-so-gay

So it seems like this weekend of welcoming Tami home was so fun for everyone. :) Even my mom was amused that my sister and I were making them pose. XD Now I am wishing that all my girls from HLJ would come home soon so we could have a party!

The Haruhi Suzumiya Pinkies

I am still waiting for HLJ to send me my Haruhi!

But here’s the thing: the rest of the girls are already scheduled to be released this April and in May. At least that is what I understand from the site news page.

Asahina Mikuru is scheduled for release on April 17. (That’s just a few days away!)
Nagato Yuki and Tsuruya are scheduled for release on May 29.

I am glad to see the packaging for Mikuru. Her maid’s apron is a separate thing. I was afraid that her entire uniform is a one-piece thing. I could use that uniform for the Kohaku mod I have been thinking of. But I might have to try to copy parts of that apron for the Hisui mod I want to make.

Yuki’s eyeglasses are definitely cute so I can’t help but want to pre-order her. Tsuruya is cute too but it’s her hair that I really want. Rawr. I wish they gave other alternate outfits to these girls so that they wouldn’t be yet another set of school girls. ^^;

Wisdom ala Romaya-senpai?!

A chat between me and Rjene:

Rjene (4/7/2008 12:54:06 PM): time is running
Rjene (4/7/2008 12:54:14 PM): stop time
Clair (4/7/2008 12:54:17 PM): :))
Rjene (4/7/2008 12:54:19 PM): :((
Clair (4/7/2008 12:55:47 PM): lahat tayo gusto pa ng oras
Clair (4/7/2008 12:55:52 PM): pero wala tayong magagawa
Clair (4/7/2008 12:55:53 PM): limited
Clair (4/7/2008 12:55:55 PM): life
Clair (4/7/2008 12:56:05 PM): has a way of making us cherish each moment
Clair (4/7/2008 12:56:13 PM): (malalim daw kunwari)
Rjene (4/7/2008 12:56:21 PM): huwow
Rjene (4/7/2008 12:56:55 PM): clair sempai~~ *squeels like takemoto ala romaya sempai**
Clair (4/7/2008 12:57:20 PM): hahahaha
Clair (4/7/2008 12:57:35 PM): oo nga, nasobrahan ata ako ng honey and clover :P

Maybe I’ve been watching too much J-drama but I do feel that way sometimes. I want so much more time. I want more time to spend with people I love so I could have more memories with them.

Maybe it’s so cheesy for me to tell Rjene something like that but I think it’s true. Maybe I was trying to be poetic and stuff like that. But I guess it’s exactly why people try to create art: to re-construct life and ‘trap time’ somehow.

The fountain move and the reverse corkscrew

During poi class tonight, I was able to learn the fountain and the reverse corkscrew. :D :D :D Can I say that I am happy, happy, happy?!

The fountain is essentially the following moves:

  • upward weave
  • windmill
  • downward weave

If you start from the right, you do an upward weave then a windmill then a downward weave. After that open up your downward weave to transition to the upward weave on the right then do the windmill then a downward weave.

But if you start your fountain from the left, you have to do a reverse windmill in the middle. Argh!

That is why Ramir had to teach me the reverse corkscrew and windmill tonight. He wanted to make sure that I could do the reverse windmill in the middle if I start from the left.

After practicing the move without the poi, I was able to make my body move the make a reverse corkscrew and windmill! Happy happy joy joy! XD

Some also taught me a trick that would help me practice the fire fairy move! She was so frustrated with the move before but after some time of practicing with that trick she was able to do the fire fairy and its variations. XD I will try practicing that trick. I don’t know how to describe it so that will be for another post.
