Jonette’s lovely creations: skirt, petti, scarves

I’ve asked my crafting buddy, Jonette, to make me some scarves (because she can knit!), a petti and 2 skirts. I already got my scarves and my striped skirt from her but I haven’t taken pictures yet because I am a shamelessly lazy cat ;_; And I don’t have my own digital camera. So let me show you her work. Good thing she posted a lot of pictures on Facebook XD

The first scarf really looked so cute even in the pictures. :) I was excited as she was telling me of its progress. This scarf is not only cute; it is also warm and soft. The yarn she used was good. I could wear this on the days that I wear black or grey. (My usual colorsXD)

Cotton Candy Cumulus

This is the second scarf and it’s really awesome because of how soft it is. I love the yarn she used because of the colors that suddenly just show up, like bits of the powder used in making cotton candy. And the texture does remind me of cumulus clouds! I really must take close-up/detail shots of this scarf she made for me. See? Isn’t she awesome? :D

puffy petticoat!

This is still with Jonette so she could use it as reference for the second skirt she’s making me. :) After all, if this petti is going underneath the skirt, she might as well know how it would look like with it! :D I tried it on when we met up a couple of weekends ago and it was nice and puffy! I love it :D It’s a bit loose on me but there are always pins to help me wear it haha. I think she mentioned adjusting it. But seriously, it’s nice and puffy :D

This is the first skirt she gave to me. :) I saw the pictures of the cloth she saw in Divisoria and I just loved the stripes on this one so much that I had to simply ask her to make me this nice skirt. I don’t regret it one bit because it fits comfortably on me.

Jonette is really dedicated to her craft and I am so happy that she indulged me with my requests. If you think that she’s really awesome, please drop by her blog, The Hobby Horse and show some love.

Music Time: Let’s Listen to Up Dharma Down

I’ve liked Up Dharma Down since I saw their video “Pag-agos” on tv. I was very intrigued because I didn’t see any credits during the first time I saw it. Until the day that no one told me it was Up Dharma Down, I had no idea. “Pag-agos” was interesting not only because of that, but it was the singing, the lyrics and the overall feel of the song that got me hooked.

After that I started hearing their other songs on the radio too. I think that from Fragmented, their first album, I heard “Maybe,” “We Give in Sometimes” and “Oo” :) The last one seemed to be quite popular. Must be because a whole lot of people could easily relate with the lyrics of the song. A song talking about a person’s love story. Not necessarily a happy one at that.

Some photos from ToyCon 2008

So many people, so many toys, so little time! I wish I was there in Megamall earlier so I could have seen if there was anyone selling Re-ment. Anyhow, I picked up two of my new Pinkies from Rotch! She was there around the time my sister and our friends were just about to enter the hall so it was great timing.

On to the pictures:
"I am prettier than you!"

Yoko Kurama - oh so pretty!

Eureka 7 cosplayers!!! ♥ I love Eureka 7 and so I just had to follow these girls and take their photos. Anemone and Eureka without Dominic and Renton. I would have liked to see Renton and Dominic too!

My sister and her BIG FLUFFY PIYOPIYO PLUSHIE FTW!!!!!!!!! Of course, she really had to buy this plushie. She couldn’t resist. And it was cheap too! It was just 350pesos.

Random photos I took simply because I liked what they were wearing:

For more of the Toy Con pics I took, you could check them out in my Flickr photo set of ToyCon 2008. :)

I regret the following about the ToyCon though:

  1. There is no Kalye Pinky booth :(
  2. I wasn’t there early enough to check if there were Re-ment stuff for sale.
  3. I didn’t buy a Manikako doll kit. :( :( :( But Sean that his cousin ran that booth and he’d give word about my interest!
  4. I didn’t see Stikfas :(I suppose there were Stikfas there but because of the crowd, I didn’t see any.
  5. I didn’t bring my other officemates along with me because they’d enjoy seeing all those cosplays and toys.
  6. I didn’t see Kel and Sean :(

Things I am happy about yesterday’s ToyCon:

  1. I got a 2oz Sculpey Premo pack for testing.
  2. My sister got a cute Piyopiyo
  3. We saw lots of cute plushies!!!!! My eyes were checking them out!
  4. I ran into some of my online contacts and a few RL buddies.
  5. I saw a booth showcasing the works of Alfredo Alcala.
  6. I saw HardGay and his bouncers ;)

Maybe next year? I suppose there’d be better stuff! And I’d watch out for them :D

Mangaholix 2008

I was in Mangaholix last night after meeting my friend Renee in Bo’s Coffee. (We fangirled over L’arc en Ciel before I checked out the cosplays and stuff inside the convention hall! Hah!) Even Rie (my Pinky) was fangirling before the con…

Rie and Natsumi with Renee's Hydepod

Anyhow, on to the pictures from Mangaholix. I only got pictures of people walking around and those who were having photo-ops with people using awesome DSLRs.

Jac Ting Lim was there! Asuka Picture 255 Picture 258

Rozen Maiden group shot Bleach group One Piece + Bleach group

Not that much pictures. In any case I must add that I loved a particular Lolita outfit:

Picture 268

I am not sure if her dress is branded but it looks it. Anyhow, I was too shy to ask. I just had to take her picture even if her headpiece was already off her head. I think the rose just made her look even prettier.

Other high points of the event: Urbandub had 4 songs. They played towards the announcement of winners. Awesome! I got the autographs of Lalay and Gabby of Urbandub. Ureshii~! I wish JM was there because he’s the one who enjoys their music than myself.

I’d like to cosplay again one of these days. Waah~! I had fun in Mangaholix and will love to go to another con one of these days. :)
