The PGLC 2nd Anniversary

I'm late! I'm late!

Those were the words running in my thoughts while I was in the cab on my way to the venue of the event. There were heavy traffic, the scorching heat of the afternoon sun and many other things along the way. It was freaking annoying that I have to go through all those things. And I just realized that I was 15 miles away from home. GAAAAH! @_@ 

BUT, I must be there. 

Good thing, I went off alone. I don't think I can tolerate a whining companion. 

As soon as I land there, imagine this: All of the girls were smiling and hugging me and saying, "Mummeh, you made it!" and "You're here! Oooh, I love your hair!" and all I could say was:

"F*ck this place."

So soooorry!~ I was really tired and all. I'm so mean. >_< Thank you, girls, for being so understanding. ♥

Anyway, to cut things short, the day went well. It was a lot of fun! Though some of my dearest girls weren't there. : ( 

Everything still worked out fine. PLUS, we met some new addition to our growing family. ♥ Much, much luurrrve, eh?  

So, yeah.. Feast your eyes with these photos! 

She's my favorite girl of the day! She made that dress by herself. How talented!~ ♥

Sisters, Therjie and Jane ---> always present in our events. And Liac. My! Effortlessly pretty!

Kleng and Rae

There goes Liac again with the maids at Meidolls Cafe.

Ger and Jes ♥

Ysai, Jane and >_< ♥

Change places? ♥

Us, while playing some silly and fun game. xDDD

And of course, a group shot!~

Yes, I know, I kinda look like Nikki Minaj. >.< That's what they were all saying. Well, I didn't mean to imitate her hair or what. I told you, my hair's supposed to be purple but it wasn't successful. After so many washes, it turned pink. >.< Which I don't really like. So, I'm going to change it as soon as I'm back on my normal routine again. :3

To my girls, thank you! Both you who were there and those who didn't make it. It's just fine. We can still catch up on our next tea party. And that is going to be soon, right? I really wish to see all of you and hug you and chat with you. xDDD ♥

Happy 2nd year to us! More years to come! Cheers! ♥

Like Anne of Green Gables

This was one of my favorite stories, ever! ♥ 

And I really want to make something, either a dress or an accessory that is Anne of Green Gables inspired (though she don't have much accessories herself). Still, the idea thrills me. xD

~ ♥ ~

Last weekend, Jaja and I went out for some business matters and part of the plan was to dress up a bit. Knowing her, she can't leave the house un-loliffied, so she was in her usual style when we went out. (Peace!~) 

While I opted for something simple but girly. ^_^

dolled up Jaja and me xD

She even took a photo of my shoesies!~

PHOTOS BY: JAJA xD ♥

THIS!~ is somewhat like Anne of Green Gable's shoes!~ *squeaks!~

Gaaah!~ I really have to work out on something that's Anne-ish... >_< 

NOW!

♥ ciao! ♥

Lovely Giveaway you shouldn't miss!

My friend Jaja is currently hosting a giveaway and it's something I am sure you don't want to miss!

That lovely Felicity OP will be at stake! xD Join now!

One day

I just thought I should share this here...

A postcard from Zeruda arrived in the mail and really brightened up my day! We have been exchanging postcards and letters since our MAF days. And I am happy even though seeing each other in flesh wouldn't be possible (unless a miracle happens), we were able to be real life friends through mails and the internet. Real friends are hard to find these days, you know. xD I am forever thankful for these great people who, in some ways have affected my life positively. Thanks, dear doll! I am really going to send one back, soon! :)

On the other note, I have attended my Baby Zombie's Moving Up Ceremony in their school. I do have some photos but, sorry, people. I can't post them here. :( 

The only photo that I can share is this:

Shoes of the day: Dexter Plaid Maryjanes 

I didn't realized that I look awful until I saw my photos during the said event. I immediately deleted all of them. >.< GAAAWD! I was wearing a nice pair of casual pants. I thought it was comfy and all but I really look so awful! My face showed stress and my hair was a mess! My ears just keeps showing through my hair because they are too big! UGH! What a shame! :( 

Oh well... It's just one of those days again. :) Shouldn't stop me from being happy! 

But this one sad news made me feel lightheaded the whole day, today. :(

Little Ichigo-chan on Baby Zombie's skateboard xD

Little Ichigo is missing. Someone might have kidnapped him. I don't know... I'm not sure. But what I know is that he is not the aloof type. You could easily get along with him. Oh! By the way, Ichigo is a HE. Thanks to Jaja, for she knows well how to distinguish a male cat from the female one. Still, my poor kitty hasn't been home yet... :(

I'm hoping he'll come back soon. 

Oh yeah... Tomorrow is another day. ♥

Dark and Fun Hour

The Earth Hour is over! But the fun wasn't! We had barbecue and marshmallows and endless chats with friends. It was truly a dark and fun hour! :) There's not much to say about how things went. Our photos will tell more.

Roca was all dressed up for the night! ♥

It was dark, but we managed to cook some barbecue with the help of a flashlight. :)

We just can't wait! xD

What's keeping Jaja busy? xD

and us! xD Credits to EFL for this photo

That was it! We stayed up late because of the endless chatting. I am glad that Jaja and my cousins get along well. ♥ And some plans were made... Something new and fun. We'll keep you posted, of course!

Tell me, how did you spend the Earth Hour? :)

Getting used to fun times

The past week had been all hectic and filled with worthwhile activities for me. I had to attend some important matters with my shop and other related stuffs. All of them were quite successful and I am really happy about it! ♥

during the Grad Mass

I have also attended my son's Graduation Mass last Friday and the fun part was I brought Jaja along! :) Yes, she spent two days here in our house, since we have a lot to furnish regarding EFL and some sewing plans. But we ended up chatting the night away as if we haven't been together for ages. LOL!
I guess taking her with me to my son's school is not quite a great idea for a recreation. But she happily accepted the offer and as a treat, I took her to my favorite tea house near my place. I am glad that she found the place awesome and she liked the bubble tea that we have ordered.

Notice the hair?

*u*

I wanted to grab that book of desserts but I'm afraid I might ruin the table setting. :)

some magazines*

the facade*

yummy fried rice*

Shoes of the day: Christian Siriano flats ♥

We stayed there for a while, ate heartily and chat endlessly. She was the one who took most of the photos using my cam. The service crew was generous enough and gave us sampler shots of their Iced Latte. (*Geez! I can't find the photos..) It is always fun to get freebies! :) 

She decided to go back to her house that day and promised to return next week. Then I am left with tons of clothes to press for the next day. It's my son's graduation day. 

I wonder what to wear? ^^

Found!

One of the best thrift find of my life! ♥

Brand: Lolita in Touch

 I wore it during Jaja's Atelier opening. And almost everyone's jaw dropped! :) 

The event was really successful and I am very happy for my friend, Jaja. She's finally being able to achieve her dreams and reap her rewards. I believe that she deserves whatever she has right now. She's not only talented but a very awesome person inside and out. 

Btw, this is how her Atelier looks like...

That red dress is calling out my name! :)

It's all covered in pink and it's cuuute! :)

If you have queries, you can visit her Tumblr blog here and her Facebook account here. She accepts overseas orders and custom made Lolita dresses and such. 

♥ ♥ ♥

just awesome... :)

Behind the frills and Jasmine tea

Thank you for patiently waiting! Really, I was excited to tell you all about this epic event! Since Lolita lifestyle/fashion have started capturing the young girls heart (and the young at heart girls - LOL!) here in PH, I've never heard of an event like this before. Maybe there was or some must've attempted but the one we just had was really heartwarming and fun and EPIC! ^_^ 

All in! :D

 The event was attended by only a chosen few because it is solely for the members of our little forum/community. We do not like haters/posers/backstabbers partying with us, so we decided to keep it intimate. Jaja, the forum founder/admin and the event organizer have done a real good job! I believe she deserves a pampering package for a day in the spa and a lot of hugs! (^_^)

Just look at that lovely dress she made for the event! Awesome girl!

I arrived at the venue with my 2 eldest kids, my sister and her daughter a little early. Of course we have to be there before the gates open since I will be managing a booth there and my sister will take care of the food together with a fellow Lolita, Meki. 

Sharing the table with Jaja and Kleng

some yumminess on the table! *nomnomnom*

When I saw that the girls are starting to doll up themselves, I realized I shouldn't have come in full Lolita outfit! *toinks!* I mean not just yet because the fashion show will start in two hours. Jaja asked, "Mumeh, aren't you going to change later for the catwalk?" and I was like, @_@ du-uh! yeah, right! How forgetful I could be? I just ruined the element of surprise! *boinks!* Anyway, such mistakes are always inevitable for it was the first time I am going to be walking in the middle of almost nowhere, with the blinding spotlight on your face and loud music plus the scrutinizing eyes all on you! *gasp!* 

Us, while trying to drive our anxiety away..

But before that, we had a very fun open discussion with the other members. We had a question and answer portion during the time. The event was also graced by a guest performer who sang two songs for us. Some have gathered around our booth. While I took my chance on Caz' table. Ooohlala! I just love the tarot, the tea cup and  the palm reading she offered. 

The open forum fun!

love the voice! ♥

She's my fave girl of the day!

I was amazed by her abilities... :)) wonderful!

 I feel sorry that I don't have much photos taken during our catwalk. But I hope you will be delighted with these few snaps... :]

After the nerve-wracking moment!!!

 Oh, yeah! Now I know that I really, truly suck at catwalk! LOL! xD 

We still have a little more time left for chatting with some friends and photo ops after the highlight and I really took advantage of it! *hihihi* I'd say why not? It's a very special time for us to chat and catch up. We don't get as much chance during conventions, right? :)) Well, here are some more random photos...

my lovely, Izhia 3

another mommy Lolita, Xiar ♥

the twinnie ♥

whacky shot

See? Long posts are loooong... xD To wrap it up, the event was successful! We may have imperfections but I believe it is forgivable. I would like to congratulate and thank everyone and of course Jaja for making this happen. I feels so blessed to have met you all! And my heart really yearns for more!

And as for you, my dearest readers, I hope you had fun with my post. We're working on our next meet up soon. ~YAY!~

See you again later... xD
