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! ♥

Sewn a little. Dyed a lot.

Did I say DYE? 

Yes, thank you very much! I just did! And now, I can't leave the house without my hat on. Pfffft! 

I asked for a purple/lavender hair dye but it wasn't that successful. Though I like the result of my current hair shade, I still feel alienated because of that. I wonder why do people give you such rude stares when you have a veeery different hair color? DUH-UH??? Some even tried to make fun of my hair. Awful feeling is awful. -_-* One acquaintance of mine asked what did I do to my hair, obviously insinuating something else. I answered, "I'm trying to ruin it." And she said, "Oh yeah? Give me scissor then. Haha.." 

WTF??? 

I reminded myself again that rebuttal or even a nice explanation would be useless and time consuming.  Especially with stupid/ignorant people. What? Should I explain to them how all these have started and fill them with information that might make their brains explode? No way! Anyhoo, I am half used to being laughed at. They don't like me. So why waste my time making them like me? Right? Yes, thank you very much! 

On another note, PGLC's 2nd Anniversary is on Saturday and I am cramming (seriously) to finish my dress. As of now, I am 75% done. Just a little more push and it's all good. 

My sister took these photos while I was all consumed on my sewing.

Pardon my covered face. Derpy-derp it is. xD and yeah. TEH HAIR! 

I was working on the collar at that time. Now, that part is also done. I just have to attach the zippers and some other details of my dress. That's what I'm going to wear on Saturday. It's going to be my first time to wear pinkXblack. I'm nervous. Haha. xD

And THIS. 

The bow that I made as part of the details of my dress.

 This bow took me almost an hour to make. I think you can see why. However, I enjoyed doing it!~ I really feel a bit sad because the lace that I used is of limited quantity. If I had a lot, I could use it on the hemline of my dress. Aaaaaw... :[ 

*sigh* I can't wait for Saturday! I wish everything will be in order on that day. Will flood you with photos right after the event. I'm sure it'll be fun! I'll see you soon... ♥

PGLC 2nd Anniversary

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

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
