I've been a member of Dollie Mixture  for almost a month already and super thankies to Chrissie aka Kaoko, one of the DLS brides,  for inviting me to join! I could say that it is my favorite forum for dolls because of the fun-warm-loving atmosphere there. I get to meet a lot of doll collectors (Pullip, Taeyang and etc.) all over the world! And being a newbie Pullip/Taeyang/Dal collector, I learn so many things about customization (changing stock body to obitsu, taking care of the wigs and etc). What's even more interesting about the forum is the photo contest where we were given a concept per week! In that way, I get to bond with my dolls and at the same time, hone my creative skills and resourcefulness. So here are my entries for the photo contest:

Round 2: Zen - The Essence of JUST your Dolly

This round requires a plain dress, shirt and no accessories at all to highlight the beauty of the doll.

This was a tough one because Misa has the "elegant" look, so no matter what dress I put on her, she wouldn't look simple at all! yes? o.o 

Round 3 - Busy Busy! What is Making your Dolls' Life Hectic?

This one I had in mind already so the set up is quite easy and I guess it only took me half an hour to set it up. Folding those little cranes took most of the set up time. They don't require a title for the competion but if they do, I'd prolly say -- "Thousand Cranes Grants A Wish" as Misa and I believe in the Japanese legend that when you fold a thousand of origami cranes your wish will be granted by a crane. FYI, we weren't able to fold a thousand that's why we didn't get the highest vote in this round. LOL! Nevertheless, Misa and I have enjoyed folding those paper cranes!

Round 4 is still ongoing and we're not allowed to post the photos until the competition has ended.

The hubby asked a rhetorical question. "Now you feel how I feel when buying stuff for your doll, eh? That you forget about yourself and just buy stuff for your dolls instead" I was dumbfounded for awhile, remembering and computing how many stuff I already bought for my dolls. I guess, I'd have to agree with him. At the back of my mind I'd scream "NOOO, it can't be happening!" I need more stuff for meself, I should stop this addiction! But hell yeah, it's an addiction so what do yah expect?! Gosh, Am I starting to get obsessed with my dolls?! How about meself now? TT

Ok so this is where I store most of my dollie stuff, some furnitures (chairs, cabinets and etc) and two doll houses were not there..yet! o.O Thankies to the ever supportive hubby, eventhough he's not reading my blog.. >.<

bento lunch and whatnot

I just had the itching of doing some

being creative is one requirement

second is being extraordinarily good at cooking food

for picky eaters

of course without hampering its nutrients 

and I've learned that bento is an effective way

for kids to enjoy eating

and these two are my first tries, not so extraordinarily though

 (pancit canton, beans, sayote, rice maki, hotdog, apple shaped in stars, bears and flower)

(pancit canton, beans, carrots, meiji hello panda, cube rice with star and heart shapes on top, meat loaf)

and this I made for mom

(mango+cucumber maki, bear|flower|star shaped carrots, soy sauce)

"Misa" the name I gave for my first ever pullip, inspired from the movie Death Note..

 She's Pullip Eos and she's the prettiest of 'em all, teehee...

Misa is also the new caretaker of the Sylvanian Families

nostalgia, isn't it?

remembering those times when we used to devour those chocolates

a treat to the heart!

New Sylvanian Family collection - The Street Market Set

lovin' the balloons? It's hard to put it on their hands!

I just love those balloons!



so homey

so vintagey

'the rest next time--' 'it is next time'

the happy voices cry

a childish story take

and with a gentle hand

"life underwater"

"please adopt me"

"wall of fame"

I really don't know who Marlene Dauden was until I googled her. Found out that she is one of the Philippines' greatest drama actresses par excellence of all time who achieved her legendary status as a film thespian in the 1950s-1970s

my fave aqua shoes. i use this when doing prenup shoots ^^

lily in greens and blacks
The Lily

The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,

The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:

While the Lily white shall in love delight,

Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright

is it nine o'clock?

two amazing people in my life

"tikki taking a bath"

"the so-called mini garden"
