pandatone gloomy & babu note

No. 019
.collection(s):: panda, green, gloomy, animals
.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.

cherry & free momo

No. 017
.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
.collection(s):: notebooks, turtles, animals
.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.

嵐ruler & crab

No. 013
.collection(s):: arashi
.obtained:: December 2010
.status:: sitting around
.explain:: I got this from a friend's mom while she was visiting Canada. She brought me and a friend some Arashi things from Japan. I can't bring myself to use it though as my rulers tend to become pretty beat up.

No. 014
.collection(s):: phone charms, animals
.obtained:: November 2010 @ Movie Theatre
.status:: sitting around
.explain:: My boyfriend got this from Gatcha for me on my birthday. It wasn't what we wanted but it still is special. ❤ It use to be on my phone until I took all of my charms off. Now he's sitting with his friends on my desk at home.

Soy Pencil & Stereo Note

No. 011
.collection(s):: pencils
.obtained:: September 2010 @ Morning Glory
.status:: In Use
.explain:: I got this pencil for free for finding a pen that didn't work =D. It's really cute but it's a cow design yet the captions are about soy milk.

No. 012
.collection(s):: notebooks
.obtained:: March 2011 @ Chapters
.status:: Sitting Around
.explain:: I bought this the same day as the ❤ notebook. I always saw these notebooks and thought they were cool but I didn't want to pay for it. It ended up in the bargain bin so I got it for half price. Good thing I waited.

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....

gloomy wallet & v5

No. 005
.collection(s):: gloomy bear, animals
.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.

No. 006
.collection(s):: pens
.obtained:: September 2010 @ Staples
.status:: In Use
.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.

nudy grey & sheepy

No. 003
.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:

No. 004
.collection(s):: stuffed toys, animals
.obtained:: Summer 2010 @ Sears
.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....

pandi & ♥note

No. 001

.collection(s):: pandas, stuffed toys, animals, phone charms

.obtained:: September 2010 at a booth in Toronto's Pacific Mall
.status:: In Use

.explain:: I bought this panda when I went to Toronto to see Gackt on the red carpet for the premiere of his movie. Before the event, we did some shopping and spotting this guy on my way to the washroom, I knew I had to have him. His eyes aren't even but I think it's cute.
Recently, I switched out my dozen or so phone charms to have him on my phone alone. He's also a model.

No. 002

.collection(s):: notebooks

.obtained:: March 2011 at Chapters

.status:: Sitting Around

.explain:: I bought this yesterday at Chapters when I was looking for paper to use as backgrounds. I'm not usually into girly things but this was just too adorable. I really love the pages. The left page is blank and the right is lined. Super cute. Don't know when I'll end up using it though. I have too many notebooks I never use.

So, this is what the blog is about. Sorry the formatting is weird; I'm still getting use to the editor. Hopefully, I'll get a nice format soon. Suggestions would be appreciated. =)

.start

I keep various little collections from nail polish, eyeshadow, pens, notebooks, phone charms and others. So, I've decided to document the items in my different collections to rediscover items I've collected and keep a record of their existence if I lose them, which happens quite often. I have so many items though so who knows if I'll ever get to them before they've disappeared.
