You know what they say. Time flies. Amanoe has been in my guardianship care room (-_-) for close to a year now. And today, it's his birthday! It'd almost slipped my mind until I looked at the desktop's clock 2 hours ago. Snapped a couple of birthday pictures for him (Yes you, Foxxeh) and edited the best one.
The rattan swing-chair comes from my grandmama, who'd got it from Japan a while ago, decided that it was too small for flowers and gave it to my fox. (I suppose that's his one and only birthday gift?)
No cut, as per usual. Don't wanna give myself more grief than necessary.

P.S. 6/17 is the date for something else, too. Anyone figured out yet? My tags are a huge hint.

I've been picking up strange manga of late. (And of course they're all shoujo. I'm a shoujo-nut, remember? -_-" )
First up: Kaichou wa Meido-sama!
I SEE ICHIRUKI WHEN I READ THIS. Heck, Ayuzawa Misaki looks plently like Rukia, and so does Mister-I-bleach-my-hair-Usui. And the girl's personality's so much like Rukia, I'll gladly endorse this manga as the Shoujo AU IchiRuki. XD Got to admit that a couple of months ago, I'd turned up my nose at this manga, thinking that it was some otaku nonsense. I take back my opinion.
GOOOOOOOO, MEIDO-SAMA! (Come to think of it, this kinda trumps Otomen in terms of IchiRuki-ness. XD)
The bunnu apple scene! Seeeee~ Even her uniform looks like Karakura High's.
The second one's Shounen Dooruzu（Shounen Dolls).
I first found out about it in my LaLa mag a couple of months ago, so I decided to look it up yesterday. It features a pair of BJD-type dolls, a Japanese-style bishounen and a Western-aristocrat type. Yukinosuke, and Leo. I'd love to resinify them some day... But the lead protagonist isn't really impressive. Every girl's dream to have a pair of hot, bishie protector dolls that turn human at twilight... ._. I'm hoping the the plot won't be too sucky after a while; it's kinda fishy that Yukinosuke, lost at page one of the manga, suddenly appears and is reunited with the pair at the end on the first chapter...
Has anyone read the NodaCan update yet? *SPOILER*She'sfinallyreturnedtoParis!*SP

Came upon this artist while on
fragileshell 's page. No commentary from me, just... enjoy.By Amy Sol:
There're more featured on her webpage. Done on grained-wood surfaces, arcylic paint. The shades are simply... lovely. Pastel. Ethereal. I would just love having one above my bed, print or the real thing. Ho hum.
Kubo-sensei,
THANK YOU FOR THE COLOURSPREAD!!! The kinda posing you'd drawn Rukia in... that's my favourite, y'know? Looking back over her shoulder...
I wanna make a banner or something outta it! Thank you!
As for the chapter itself, I must add that the way Kubo-sensei had turned Ulquiorra to ashes is beautiful, too. But I don't suppose the 'turn to ashes' end is what the shounen readers are expecting. Even so, when he held out his hand towards Hime-chan... it brings to mind Kaien-dono's words, hnn? As though he's bequeathing his 'heart' to her. <3 Besides her, there wasn't anyone else close to 'nakama' status to recieve his heart.
In other news,
chuo_ri has given Sana a blue Classic Lolita dress (on the pretext of it being my birthday pressie). I SHALL get her to wear it. Soon. Maybe ths evening? (The truth is, I'm too lazy to get her out of her white jammies and into a dress of any sort. >_<)Bunnisteffi
Edit: I'm kinda convinced now by a
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
bleachness post that Ulquiorra has not been 'ended' yet. Someone saw what'd happened to him as a form of repentence by Ulqui's 'soul' and that he may reappear as a result. That sounds too romantic for me to not want to believe in it.- Humour:
cheerful
Someone on
capslock_bleach has said something 'bout cockfighting. They aren't too far off.Look-ee.
This is freaking magnificent. I can totally see where you're going, Kubo-sensei. Or maybe not...

With Chapter 344, came a lovely colourspread of Rukia-chan. Of course, I couldn't resist making something out of it. Thank you, Kubo-sensei!
No cuts.
Please credit me if you're using either of them and leave a comment here~ And I am also looking for someone to help me code a new layout for my LJ with a header that I've made. Tell me if you're willing, thanks.

Posting up sales pics of a pair of 14mm glass browns for raydance.
With flash and then w/o, respectively. There's no apparent threading, just the pretty gold under-glow. ^_^ I'd got them from meeve for S$5, and they've not been used yet.

Hazelnutte-Vanilla Pavlova Cookies
[modified from Praline Pavlova Cookies of The New Cookie Book]
Makes 14~ (adjust ingredients proportionately to make more)
Pavlovas:
1 egg white
Cinnamon (1 pinch)
!/4 cup caster sugar
Ground/shredded hazelnut (to taste)
- Preheat the oven to 140OC/275OF/Gas 1
- Whisk egg white with an electric beater/mechanical beater till white peaks form
- Add in caster sugar spoonful by spoonful
- Add in cinnamon and hazelnut
- Whisk till stiff enough i.e. keeps shape if you heap it up while in the bowl
- Spoon tablespoonfuls onto an un-greased baking sheet
- Bake for 45-60 minutes till dry and beginning to colour.
- Remove, allow to cool.
For a less sweet variation (c’mon, they’re pavlovas, of course they’ll be sweet), laurie_bunter has suggested using a half-caster-half-brown-sugar combo. I haven’t tried it yet, though I suppose it’ll work.

HM. If this keeps up, we'll have:
- Eyeless!Hime
- Moar IchiUlquiHime eyesmex (?)
- A detailed analysis on WHY Ichigo's getsuga can't cut Ukelala, HOW he will do it, WHERE he'd learnt to do it etc. etc.
- A bloodbath... since Yammy is so large, I s'pose one slice anywhere will result in some awesome blood splutterage?
8D - A neverending battle
- OR: Moar shinigami jumping into the dogfight!!!
In other news, Bunnisteffi's attempting purin (pudding) making. Let's see how it'll turn out, hn?

HIME-CHAN DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING!
She didn't call out 'Kurosaki-kun' once! She actually took out her ShunShunRikka and did something! XDXDXD
In other news, Kurosaki-san, do you have to analyse your opponents weaknesses out loud? Won't he become more conscious of what you know that way? Seriously, do all shounen manga have to go that way-?!
Garh. But I am pretty impressed. THE FIGHT WAS AWESOME. ^^Now, Kubo-sensei, give me some Rukia-kick-butt action, and I'll love you some more. It's her birthday week, ne~

Had a crazy baking urge this week, which managed to fill up whatever free slot I had on Monday, Wednesday and today.
First up, Hazelnutte-Vanilla Pavlova Cookies~:
I made some vanilla cookies, the short-cut-chill-for-however-long-you-wan
- Which ingredients give what kinda charecteristics to cookies? For example, does adding more eggs make the cookies harder? And flour? (You've posted a really good article from Cooks Illus. on it, but I can't seem to find it now.)
- Is there a less sweet alternative to white sugar? I've been told that my Pavlova cookies are too sweet. ._. Even if it tastes awesome...
Love ya all.

So, today, I'd made a trip from Suntec City to Bugis to Chinatown via Dhoby Ghaut.
After a whole year, I finally figured out how easy it is to get from Dhoby Ghaut MRT/YMCA to KKnm. *head bangs* I AM SORRY HAYA. I MADE YOU WALK ALL THE WAY TO ORCHARD T
...
In other news, I'd almost got a black hard embroidered case for Sana. Almost, 'cause they'd actually placed the (beautiful) sewing case in front of a $9.90 tag, and thinking that it really was such a good steal, I carried out the below convo with a sales staff:
Me: Is the black case over there $9.90?
SS: Yes, it is.
Me: Really?! *is excited at the thought of getting such a good bargain*
SS: Yes, really.
Me: ^v^
Later, I'd gone back with my cousin (I'd forgotten to bring enough cash along today), grabbed the case, and made my way to the cashier:
Me: Is this really $9.90?? (Obviously, the price is that unbelievable - I'm talking about a hard case large enough to fit Sana, consists of several other compartments with a top opening, side opening and metal buckle closures on top and front sides.)
C: Um... How can that be? *flips box around for tag and fails to see it* Wait arh... *goes off to check*
Me: ._.
C: Uh, $9.90 is only for these two heart-shaped sewing baskets. This one is... *searches for tag*... $99.90
Me: O_O
Me: ...
Me: Ah, I see. Thank you. *walks off with cousin* DX
C (talking to another SS): Why isn't the tag promin -
It's pretty sad, really. It really was such an awesome case, and Sana would have looked pretty glamourous travelling in it. But hey, I can't afford a hundred bucks for a case at the moment. *stares at Spotlight carrier in front of me*

Before you go, "Oh, is it gonna be doll-talk again?", stay put, please. This entry requires both the help of doll-people and normal (?) people alike. In that, uh, as long as you have an eye for pretty things, you can leave a comment. Thanks.
Over the past week, I've been making a series of doll jewellery out of wire and beads. All of them are gifts atm, but I am thinking of selling a piece or two now and then. Below are a couple of pieces that I have made for dpecific dolls in mind, hence they're sorta taken already. I need to know what you guys think of them, since lots of you come from right-brained-backgrounds. XD
Click for a clearer view.
YOUSUKE:Seq-sat.NYAN
SHUU:Faechan.NYAN
HITO:Rockin'o'SHIROBARA
RUKIA:PearlCHAINEDmelo.pairINFINITY
There're more pieces, for Himiko, Ichigo and Sanakou. (All Japanese names. Cool.) Gonna make wristbands for Tetsuya and Azure. The real things look better in real life. I have to work on my photog/edit skills soon.
As for the names, HITO and RUKIA are part of two different sets. YOUSUKE and SHUU are part of [.NYAN], 'cause they both have white Cat's Eye beads. HITO and HIMI are a set called [SHIROBARA] and RUKIA and ICHIGO are [.pairINFINITY]. Ichigo's is really special... ^_^ Crazy elaborate, though I'd been planning on a braided closure (possible only 'cause it's made mostly of wire] which turned out impossible 'cause of the wire's length. It's a loop closure, as like most of the other necklaces, though there're traily bits hanging down. I do hope that I've got most of the neck sizes right. >.> I know that the MSDs' can definitely fit, 'cause I'd tried with Sana. Most of the SD's can be adjusted, 'cept for HITO and SHUU. (Wait, that's 2 vs 2... how is that 'most of...'???)
Okies, critique please! Doesn't matter if you're a totally random stranger. Opinions are as precious as... opium... ._. I think.
Anyway, I'd gone for my quaterly hair-wash+trimming. Went to the right place this time. The hairdresser didn't go zoom-zoom and sliced off my bangs randomly. So it looks pretty much what I'd asked for. ^.^ And have I ever mentioned how much I like getting my hair washed by a pro? XD
Bunnisteffi
Edit: Forgot to add that while most of the pieces aren't the kind that a human will wear usually (well, HIMI is a more subdued looking piece <-- My favourite =D) wear, on dolls, they don't look half-crazy. Again, I think.
