Gloomy DSi

No. 053
.collection(s):: green, gloomy bear, animals, stickers, arashi
.obtained:: December 2010(?) @ Zellers
.status:: In Use
.explain:: My little siblings have broken both of my previous DSs so I let them have it and for a while I didn't have my own. When I found out that these limited edition DSi packages (with Mario games) ere being sold, I had to get one. I went to walmart thinking they would have it since I saw the orange one there but the lady was so rude to me when I asked if they had the green one. She looked at me and responded as if I was stupid. Well, I ended up finding it at Zellers and the lady there was very nice indeed. Stupid walmart people.
My boyfriend gave me the Gloomy sticker and now we both have Gloomy on our DSs. I also have Aiba and Sho stickers on the inside beside the screen.

.collection(s):: notebooks, animals
.obtained:: @ Chinatown
.status:: In use
.explain:: He's cute isn't he? I got this in Chinatown a while ago. The pages are a dotted grid. It's pretty nice but kind of difficult to write in lol I started using this to write profiles of my OCs and ideas for Shin Cafe but I haven't gotten anywhere with that haha

purple-green beads

No. 051
.collection(s):: jewelry, purple, green
.obtained:: 2010 (?)
.status:: In Use
.explain:: I went though a stage where I loved making beaded bracelets. I would buy the beads at Michael's and make them. This one has my favourite colours of course, purple and green. I like that the beads are different sizes =)

asphalt

No. 050
.collection(s):: eyeshadow
.obtained:: @ Pharma Plus
.status:: In Use
.explain:: This is the colour I usually use for my work makeup and when I feel like wearing toned down make-up. It's a nice light coppery colour that just adds some depth to my eyes. It complements my skin tone quite nicely, I think.

Laziness strikes again haha.

gentle blossom + loyal lavender

No. 049
.collection(s):: nailpolish, green, purple
.obtained:: June 2011 @ Walmart
.status:: In Use
.explain:: This summer I really wanted to get some pastel coloured nail polish; all my other nail polish are quite vibrant. So, I bought these two colours here. The contrast is probably too strong here but they are very pretty pastel colours. The green is like a mint/honey dew colour and the purple is a light lavender. Here's how they look on (the colours may be a little washed out but this is pretty accurate).

butterfly fan

No. 048
.collection(s):: purple
.obtained:: August 2011
.status:: In Use
.explain:: My boyfriend sent this to me from Japan. It's from the 100 yen shop (dollar store equivalent) but the quality is really good! I'll definitely need to visit the 100 yen shop when I go to Japan. My little sister bought a similar fan from Chinatown for $2 but the quality was pretty poor. I really love the design on it and, of course, it's my favorite colour!

.collection(s):: jewelry
.obtained:: 2006/2007 (?)
.status:: In Use
.explain:: I got this necklace in high school from a small jewelry store in the mall that quickly closed down...I think. I really like this necklace with it's dice. Super cool. I use to wear it often but lately I don't wear many accessories.

This is the last of the batch! Maybe I will end up taking more pictures in the end. =P

.obtained:: May 2011

.explain:: This is the mascot of my boyfriend's city. He brought it from Japan and I remember seeing it in his room. He gave it to me when he left. His tail made it pretty difficult to pose haha

Wondering if moving the blog to tumblr is really the best idea. Maybe I'll keep both? hmm

"gackt" bead bracelet

No. 044
.collection(s):: jewelry
.obtained:: @ Chinatown Montreal
.status:: In Use
.explain:: I bought this when I went to chinatown with Jully and Kry. At that time, we were all obsessed with Jrock haha. Anyway, I've always been on the lookout for some nice black bead bracelets because Gackt is known for his onyx bracelets and he also sports one that's similar to this one. I really like this bracelet even without it's connection with Gackt; I think it's really nice. I use to wear it everyday but have not been wearing it as much recently.

nudy green

No. 043
.collection(s):: circle lenses, green
.obtained:: September 2010 @ buyexclusive.net
.status:: In Use
.explain:: I got these along with my nudy violet lenses. These are also geo nudy lenses in green. I like the colour however it doesn't go well with my skin. It makes me look rather yellow so I don't tend to wear these ones often. So these lenses are going to expire soon so I'll probably end up buying some new ones to replace them. I might get new nudy violets but I want to try other styles as well.

After I finish this batch of images, I'm going to stop posting here to concentrate on populating the tumblr account. I'm not sure if I'll still keep this blog once I move over.

carleton pen

.collection(s):: pens
.obtained:: Summer 2009
.status:: In use
.explain:: One day, when I was doing an internship at school for the summer, I forgot to bring a pen and I really needed one. So, I stopped by the campus store I bought this one. It's a pretty green colour isn't it? Well, I didn't look at the price and it ended up being pretty expensive D= but all the same, it's a nice pen to write with.

I'm in the process of reposting this stuff to tumblr. I might not flood it all at once but over time.

.explain:: I got this with something I ordered online. I don't exactly remember what it was though haha. Anyway, it was nice to get this along with my order anyway. It's just a Hello Kitty magnet and it's on my little white board near my desk. I don't have a tag for this....

.status:: In Use
.explain:: I got this Gloomy from my boyfriend. He sent it to me as a present from Japan. He hangs on the wall near my desk with a few others like him.

Trying a new background paper but it's a little distracting. The other one is too small though. I'll try to find something that works

.obtained:: Summer 2008
.status:: Sitting Around
.explain:: This cute mouse pendant is actually a watch! It's brand name too haha but i'm not like that. It was on sale but it was still pretty expensive DX

Sorry, there was a mix up on the numbers. No, it's not that I can't count but when I was uploading with picasa it didn't show them in order so I didn't upload the right number picture. I don't look backwards for the number but at the picture number.

bling turtle

No. 035
.collection(s):: turtles, animals, jewelry
.obtained:: August 2010 @ Chinatown
.status:: Sitting Around
.explain:: I bought this in Chinatown in Toronto when I went for a Dir en Grey concert. I don't actually wear it because I don't wear rings, especially big ones like this, but it was cheap, it's colourful and it's cute. The head actually moves!

baby bunny

No. 034
.collection(s):: animals, stuffed toys
.obtained:: @ Chapters
.status:: In Use
.explain:: One day, on my many excursions to Chapters, I found this cutie in the baby section. Yep, the baby section. I took one look at her and wanted her right away. However, she was kind of expensive so I decided not to get her at first and continued looking around the store. I came back to look at her before I left, planning on saying my goodbye but I just couldn't resist. I bought her anyway.

nohohon park

No. 033
.collection(s):: animals
.obtained:: 2008 @ Chinatown
.status:: Retired/In Use
.explain:: This was my first pencil box after I became interested in them. (see panda box) I don't even know who this character is or what kind of animal its suppose to be but it was most appropriately sized pencil box at the store I got this from. I used this up until the closing clasp thingy kind of eroded away so it didn't close anymore and my stuff kept falling out. It's retired as my school pencil box but I keep my graphic pens in there and it's stored in my desk.
Fun fact: The animal thinger's name is a palindrome =D

green + purple papermates

No. 032
.collection(s):: pens, green, purple
.obtained:: ??
.status:: In Use
.explain:: Though I tend to not use regular old ball point pens anymore, I still love these ones. The colours are, of course, my favorite colours so what's not to love? The write fairly well actually, maybe better than the standard black and blue? (BTW these reds never seem to work for me. The orange that came with these sucked out too). Anyway, nothing too interesting to say about these. They are just pretty pens.

A lot of things happened in the last while so it wasn't just laziness! (Though it is partially)
Another update on Sheepy which may explain my absence.

.collection(s):: animals, phone charms
.obtained:: Gatcha Machine
.status:: Sitting Around
.explain:: It's a Heffalump! I don't really know when I got this charm. It's a series of Winnie the Pooh gatcha where the characters are eggs....don't ask. I think it's pretty cute though. I keep this on my mp3 player.

I also did an update on the status of love struck charm.

panda box

No. 030
.collection(s):: pandas, animals
.obtained:: September 2010 @ Morning Glory
.status:: In Use
.explain:: Ever since I watch Yamada Taro Monogatari, I've been into box pencil cases. This one is my current one. The top part slides up and is held closed by a magnet so it's pretty secure. It's a little bit small, admittingly, but I always carry too much in my pencil case anyway. It even comes with different sticker covers but of course I chose the panda one. The wood is a little beaten up now but it still works (unlike my other pencil boxes)!

gloomy zipper pull

No. 029

.obtained:: April 2011 @ Lost Marbles
.status:: In Use
.explain:: Despite being largely overpriced, Tecchan bought this for me when we were out one day. I was actually surprised at the detail and high quality of this thing. I guess it's not that overpriced. You get one random figure in the box and we happened to get one we wanted hehe. I keep these two on my phone with Pandi. I seriously love looking at my phone now.

Again, sheer laziness accounts for my inactivity.

.obtained:: December 2009?
.status:: In Use
.explain:: My sister bought this for me for christmas I'm pretty sure. I doesn't seem like 2 years ago though so I'm not sure. I also got slippers that look the same. The penguin gets in the way though so you can't really use it haha

I actually took new pictures today but I won't be home for 2 days. Going to Toronto with Tecchan.

glass pandy

No. 027

.obtained:: August 2010 @ Toronto
.status:: In Use
.explain:: Isn't he just adorable! I love this little panda. He's so cute, especially with the leaf on his head and non-existent eyes. I fell in love with him instantly and bought him without even considering the price. He ended up being pretty expensive because he's made of glass but he was too cute that I took him anyway. He resides on my camera even though I categorize him in "phone charms"
P.S. I love this photo =)

.explain:: This one is also from Jully. She gets me so many great things because she's so awesome! Loves ❤. Well, Gloomy there sleeps on top of the tissues and you can lift him up like a hinge cover or something haha I can't explain. It's really cute though, I think.

No excuse. Just lazy.

.collection(s):: circle lenses, purple
.obtained:: September 2010 @ buyexclusive.net (do not sell circle lenses anymore)
.status:: In Use
.explain:: I love these circle lenses. They are also geo nudy but in violet. The colour goes well with my skin and it's really pretty. I wear these the most often though recently I haven't been wearing my lenses.

Last exam tomorrow! I took more pictures but I'll post only one item per post for now so I can post more often. I'm lazy.

Also, if you like The Sims, maybe visit my new blog Banana Cupcake Doll. I'll be posting about my sims there. It's a little embarassing as my sims are my simself and my boyfriend so I won't be tweeting updates. Maybe in the next generation haha.
edit:: after consulting my dear friend Jully, I've renamed my sims journal

.obtained:: @ Miss Tiggy Winkles
.status:: In Use
.explain:: What qualifies as in use for stuffies? Anyway, here's my green pandatone gloomy. I adore him! He's so small and the perfect size for my tiny hands. Plus, it's a combination of my favorite things, gloomy, panda and green! What more could I ask?

No. 020
.collection(s):: notebooks
.obtained:: September 2010 @ Morning Glory
.status:: In Use (kinda)
.explain:: I got this at the same time as my soy pencil. They were selling three of these for $1 and one was originally $1.20! What a deal, eh? I still have yet to use the others but I just recently started using this one but not really. I've designated this for japanese vocabulary in articles I read so that I have an easy reference BUT I barely ever read because I'm a lazy bastard as I'm sure you can tell.

This was from the batch I took before so no new pictures unfortunately. I'll be busy until next week though so I won't promise I'll take pictures this weekend.

.collection(s):: eye shadows
.obtained:: @ PharmaPlus
.status:: In Use
.explain:: This is my absolute favorite eye shadow. Not only is the colour pretty but it's also very pigmented and lasts forever! I got my first one of these when I was in high school and I still have a lot of it, even though I use it so much! It is a little emo like but I still think it's a lovely colour. NYX single shadows are definitely my favorites.

No. 018

.obtained:: @ Global Giftware
.status:: In Use
.explain:: I use this notebook for my Japanese vocabulary but I greatly fail at putting it to use. I love this notebook though. It's so cute and the perfect size even with the engrish. It's pretty beat up after all these years but it's probably one of my favorite notebooks.

I wasn't on my computer very much over the last few days so I didn't have time to post anything. Also didn't get to take pictures for this week. Eek.

Staedtler Pencils & Stop Traffic

No. 015
.collection(s):: pencils
.obtained:: October 2009 (?) @ Staples & Wallack's
.status:: In Use
.explain:: These pencils are awesome! They aren't pretty but they write really well and the led barely ever breaks with the 0.5 one (orange top). The 0.3 one (yellow top) is harder to write with but the lines are really thin which is cool I think. Good for drawing, especially for cleaning up pencil lineart (as I draw really messily).

No. 016
.collection(s):: nail polish
.obtained:: 2010 (?) @ Pharma Plus
.status:: In Use
.explain:: This is a really pretty, but really distracting pink colour. The colour is reflective and really bright so when I'm writing, it's always catching my eye. Possibly good for a special night or just as an accent in a nail design but not for everyday wear. Still really pretty though.

.obtained:: March 2011 @ Chapters

panda eraser & black satin

No. 009
.collection(s):: pandas, animals, green
.obtained:: December @ Toys 'R' Us
.status:: Never to be used
.explain:: I found this cute little panda while I was buying Christmas presents for my little siblings. He's actually an eraser that you can take apart. It's kind of gruesome actually, pulling apart a panda like that. He's super small though so it was really hard to get a good picture of him, hence the blurriness.

No. 010
.collection(s):: nail polish
.obtained::
.status:: In Use
.explain:: This is my favorite black nail polish. It's very thick and goes on opaque in pretty much one application. It dries fast but it stays soft for awhile which is kind of annoying. I've had like 5 bottles of this already, mostly because it turns pretty sticky after awhile and you can't use it. Despite all those little nuances, I still love this nail polish. I'm wearing right now in fact!

I took enough pictures to last the rest of the week so I don't have an excuse not to post!

penguin sharpener & pork bun

No. 007
.collection(s):: penguins, animals
.obtained:: @ Chapters
.status:: In Use
.explain:: I love penguins. Even though I generally dislike birds, I love penguins. This cute little guy is a sharpener I found at Chapters. I wasn't going to buy it but he's just too cute. Though I say he's "in use", I don't really use wood pencils; I'm more of a mechanical pencil kind of girl. However, when I do use wood pencils, I like to stick them into his butt. Ok. Moving on from that disturbing image.

No. 008
.collection(s):: phone charms
.obtained:: Summer 2010 @ T&T
.status:: Retired
.explain:: I bought this pork bun character at T&T with my baby sister. I love it's face and it actually smelled really nice though I don't think it was intended to. I used him over the summer and everything was fine and dandy until my friend's dog came around and, without me knowing, pulled it off my phone. I finally found it a few days later all gross and dirty. After his traumatic experience, this little guy went into retirement. He has an appropriate face to express his working days, ne?

Ah I haven't posted in awhile. I've been at school everyday, all day this week and didn't have time to take pictures. I'll try to take a bunch of pictures in advance this weekend but I'll be spending my weekend at school as well....

.obtained:: February 2011 @ eBay
.status:: In Use
.explain:: Gloomy the Naughty Adult Bear is probably one of my favorite characters. He's cute and he's violent. Love~ ♡. For the longest time (over 5 years I think), I've been using a really beat up Gloomy wallet (I'll post it another time) and every single time I pulled it out I would think, I really need a new wallet. I would always say that to myself and complain to my friends about it too but I didn't want to give up my Gloomy wallet. So this year, I went onto eBay and found myself a new one. I'm in love with it even if it's oversized but so was my other one. On the back Gloomy Bear is written and with his face and on the fabric inside is printed with various acts of violence against Gloomy Bear's owner.

.explain:: I decided to try out some liquid ink pens this year because well they are so cool to write with! So, I heard these ones were pretty good so I gave them a shot. They are quite nice, write quite well and everything. They are kind of hard to write quickly with and sometimes the line width varies but they are still pretty awesome.

.collection(s):: circle lenses
.obtained:: June 2010 @ buyexclusive.net
.status:: Gone
.explain:: Last summer, I started getting into circle lenses. Circle lenses are coloured contacts that make your eyes look bigger as the colour of the lense extends past your natural iris. These were my first circle lenses, Nudy Grey. They were a really nice colour and actually made it look like my skin was lighter and more even. Regrettably, I accidentally damaged them so had to get rid of them. Fortunately, I've bought new ones in different colours. I'm looking into getting new ones but I'm being a little wary of spending money right now and the website I bought them from do not sell circle lenses anymore. They were the cheapest I could find. Here is me wearing the lenses:

.status:: Given Away
.explain:: I conned my mom into buying me this stuffed sheep when we went shopping one day. She didn't want to buy it for me because I was 19 years old, why do I need a stuffed sheep? Well, she bought it anyway. So what if I'm 20 now. I still like stuffed animals!
Edit:: my boyfriend and I exchanged stuffies and so I gave Sheepy to him. She is now living in Japan. I'm so jealous of her!

I was lazy today and just used old pictures instead of taking new ones. Hahaha....
