Love, it's a crazy feeling.

This is the first episode of my pic-fic! I hope you enjoy it~
Kilani: "YOU betrayed us, Khiet! You broke the code by doing this!"
( Betrayal.. )

As some of you may know, I have a new baby that joined my family! His name is Sushi, he's a 'salt & pepper' hedgehog! It's been about three weeks since he's been with me, and he's getting huge already!


Next up, I got my first Dal! She's a Melize that I've named Merili (after one of my friend's characters)! She's Haley's little sister~




Temporarily rewigged, until her Luts wig comes in~


Just for kicks, Merili's laptop's wallpaper was matching mine!!



My grail girl, Raquelle! I'm so in love with her, I swear.. She might be bumping Claire down to second place.. @__@;;




Amber tried to be a little bit more colorful since the other girls complained that she was too 'monochromed'~ XD;


Pearly's finally getting a little attention since she was able to inherit Alice's (Neo Noir) Obitsu~ I also gave her new Monomono's eyechips!


I've recently rewigged my Papin, Vedera in a Sleeping Elf wig~ Now she joins the crew of the Crazy Hairz with Evolette! XD;;;


My lovely Jolie.. Too gorgeous..


I recently got Kairi a Coach collar! After I put it on her, she was rolling around for some attention, haha~


Sorry for the picture spam! It has been a while.. XD

Really guys! I didn' t mean to!

I recently managed to snatch up a Lan Ake for what I thought was an awesome price! $70 shipped! Then, the seller messages me saying that her dog got a hold of my Lan's hair so she knocked off $10! And since there was a slight delay on shipping, the seller also included what looked like a CanCan wig (brown, curly, not pictured)! It's prolly worth at least $20-$25! So, pretty much, I got my Lan Ake for dirt cheap (doll + CanCan wig = $60 shipped)!!
Here she is, my new Lan Ake, Tuyen Li, Doll #18:




She's an ex-sniper, for those who don't frequent the forums! She is now seeking redemption here at the Kimochi household~

Another newcomer whom I've been anticipating since her announcement back in September? October? is Neo Noir, my Alice Wonder! She'll be Doll #19. She even has an Obitsu/wig already waiting for her arrival..

Doll #20 was a total whim, someone who I thought I would never get! Cornice! I snatched up her head + wig for just $20!! She was too much of a good deal to pass up, I swear! I'm debating on whether I'm going to keep her stock or use her to practice customizing.. Still debating.. I'll also need a name for her! Gah!

Also, for those who have seen my Flickr have heard that Lana has gone away for a little bit! She's going to a faraway land to get a new face-up! She's going to be soooo gorgeous when she comes back to me! I'm so excited!

I think that's it for now! Sleep time! G'night!

Wow, it's been a really long time since I've posted on here.. I guess it hasn't really bothered me that I haven't been journaling as much as I want to~

School is almost over! Sucks that I have finals on the last two days of finals week.. I kinda want to get it over with, but then I don't think I'm prepared for it! Boo~ I missed the registration date for the Spring semester.. It's going to stress me out in January when I really have to get the ball rolling, else I won't have any classes for that semester! I really hate to think about that...

Lately, I've been making dolly headbands! In order to feed my dolly addiction, I figured I need another source of income (since all mine go to bills now..)! Here's an example of one on my lovely Raquelle:

You can check them out here!

Shiri has been neglected so much lately.. I think it's mainly because she has such a horrible Obitsu body! It's the most floppiest Obitsu neck that I've ever encountered, I swear! But, for such a crappy Obitsu, this girl still shoots photos beautifully..


For those who don't know, I did acquire two new girls pretty much since the last ime I posted! Chloe (the blonde) is Claire's younger twin sister & Evolette (the spikey burgandy) is the newest girl so far~




For a while, Lily wasn't as unique as she used to be anymore.. I figured I would change her ever-so-slightly to make her 'mine' again. To make her just as perfect as she was to me before.. I think I accomplished that small wish~


My gorgeous Amber.. I'm so lucky to have bought her when I did! Who knew Nero could be such a lovely, lovely doll? I have her in this awesome yellow sweater that I bought not too long ago, and it just suits her so well! One of my shopper girls who love to dress up..

One day, my boyfriend and I were outside changing his car's oil~  Since I didn't have a clue what to do or how I could help, I figured I'd keep him company AND take pictures of one of my dolls~ Sara was the lucky girl that I chose that day! I really wanted to show off her new wig~ She's just so perfect.. My second grail~


Alas, I've found the perfect wig for my BNP, Lana.. She's just perfect now! I'm so glad I went with the LeekeWorld group order! I'm really satisfied with the choice in wigs that I bought! (Bonnie has the other).


Haley also had a small make-over as well.. I wanted something different for her~ Even though, Haley is sadly not my super-most-favorite girl all that much anymore, she still holds a special place in my heart because she was my first! I still love her very much so~


Now for more recent pictures (sorry for the picture spam!), I bought some new Barbie outfits for my girls & they absolutely LOVE them!








Now for another note, I'm going to California for Christmas! I'm going to bring Claire with me this time~ She's all decked out in all her Kairi glory, I'll have to take a picture of her tomorrow.. I perfected her Kairi cosplay even more now by make her a necklace and painting her shoes to match as close to Kairi as possible! I'm hoping I can meet up with a few Pullip people while I'm there!

I'm sleepy now.. Good night!
<3 Tina

Omg.. I'm so in love with her! At this rate, she might even bump Haley down to second-favorite.. I'm so smitten!


My friend Knibitz made Claire Kairi's keyblade for my birthday! I love it! Claire's cosplay is almost complete~ I just bought her some purple Converse shoes, I'll just need some black ribbons for it~
<3 Tina

Okai, it's been awhile so this blog will be a pretty loooong one!

First off, school is great! I think I'm doing okai in most of my classes, excluding Operations Research, I swear, I just don't understand that class! I took three tests this past week, two of which I haven't received my grades back yet. But! My Calculus I class, I did! I made a 95! WOOT! I also rode the bus (from the parking lot) for the first time yesterday! I submitted an application to UT@Austin again, I hope I can get in....

Next up is work. Not so bad, though I'm not making as much hours as I used to because of school! Boo! But it's okai, as long as I have a little bit of income, we should be okai~ Gabe and I are trying to get the week of Christmas off to go back to California.. I hope that goes through..

Then, there's Kairi, my loving doggie! Raquelle seems to be in love with her!




I bought this LPS Corgi (left one) SPECIFICALLY because of Kairi! RAWR!


The biggest topic is my Pullips! Since my last post, I have acquired TWO new girls! Jolie & Bonnie arrived to me back in August, a little bit before my birthday! Here's the two of them:




I've also received Nikki Otter for my 21st birthday this year from my sister! She has got to be the cutest littlest thing ever!


Then.. I rewigged Amber with Claire's old blonde wig & I think she looks GREAT!




And who stole Amber's old wig? Lana, of course!




Last, but not least, the lovely Claire with her new wig!


Here she is standing all cute! Like my wallpaper? It was drawn by Apple Crisp!


On another note.. Claire's twin is now officially on the way! I also have Kirsche on pre-order! @______@ This means.. If you add up all the dolls that I have (minis & regular-sized Pullips), I'll have 18 total! OMIGAR~ When did they multiply so much and so fast!?!?

I *think* that's it for now! I should up date more! Seriously! :)

Over the past year, as my family of Pullips started growing, and growing, and growing.. I've updated my signature plenty of times!

Let's start with this one:

Title is from the song I'm currently addicted to~ It's sung by One Republic, I really need to get their album!

Anyway, Gabe, me, my cousin Linda, and her boyfriend, Thong, were supposed to watch The Dark Knight on Friday. Of course I had the feeling that it was going to be sold out by the time we got there. And surely it was. So, we ended up watching Get Smart instead! It was pretty good! Pretty funny too! I wouldn't mind owning that movie on DVD. Since me and Gabe are both off today, we're planning on going to the Tanger Outlet Centers today, then The Dark Knight afterwards! Can't wait! I heard it was very good!

Raquelle had her own photoshoot the other day, I'm absolutely in utter LOVE with her! She's so beautiful, yet so bratty! I don't regret buying her one bit! Though, I should give my other girls like Pacifica, Lana, & Amber more photo time.. Anyway, here's a couple of shots from Raquelle's photoshoot!

Work has been going okai for me, definitely an improvement from the Lowe's in Houston. The people here are so much more mellow and actually give a shit about their jobs and hell, even LIKE their jobs! I'm getting adjusted to the people and their motives, it's not so bad. I saw my old store manager from when Gabe & I first started, we were surprised that she actually remembered us!

A lot has happened from the last time that I blogged. Moved and slowly getting settled in. My mom bought us new furniture for our apartment, even though all I asked from her was a couch and a dresser. She gave us a full set, that matched. Our room is a total mess right now, clothes is everywhere, mainly~

I'm still waiting to hear back from the loan department thing, that's supposed to be lending me money to survive through school over here. Still waiting.

I also go my first ticket the second day that I moved here. Actually, it was TWO tickets. One for going 79 MPH in a 65-speed-limit-zone, when I don't think I was going that fast, the second one was for cutting off my boyfriend who was "too close" to me, the cop said it was FOUR feet. Chyea right, it was waaaaaaaaaayyyy more than that! Gabe thinks the cop just wanted to reach his quota for the week and that I was caught in a speed trap. Pity, I was driving for three years and finally got my first ticket. What a bummer! I thought I was supposed to spend my stimulus check on things that -I- wanted, not to pay for a ticket!

In the dolly world, my Papin, Vedera got rewigged TWICE since I've blogged. I am finally satisfied with her new wig! Raquelle also got rewigged as well! They're both soo cute! I'll take better pictures of the two girls when I have a chance! Lookie:

Here's my little crazy Corgi, Kairi & my little sister's sugar glider, Kaili! Aren't they adorable? :)

And ready to go! ;D

I'm moving this weekend and it took me a good 2-3 hours to pack my girls securely in their boxy-prisons! :lol:

Pacey was the first to be boxed up! She's so sad, yet so beautiful in her boxy-prison! XD;

My 'baldy' Vedera decided that she wants Lana to ride with her in her boxy-prison since Lana came to me pre-loved as well, but without a box.

I think Pearly is the saddest of all my girls for some reason. I did, however, give her new eyechips! The brown was pretty, but I think these are even prettier!

Gloria graciously gave up her boxy-prison and decided to hitch a ride with Amber!

Sara is beautifully boxed AND bald! I was afraid her wig was going to be ruined if I left her in it~ I'll put it back on her once they get to the new destination soon!

Beautiful Lily, I should have taken new pictures of her since I received a new orangey sundress recently!

Lovely Claire, her eyes are mesmerizing. I was thinking about rechipping her again, but haven't found a pair that could surpass these.

I was going to leave Haley out of her box, the only one. But I'm afraid that she'll be damaged if I do! Moving is a very dangerous situation for these precious little dollies!

Shiri's Obitsu is SOOO floppy! It's horrible! She's the only one that I had to have a plastic strip across her forehead to keep her head up straight! Booooo!

Even little Zoe is safely boxed up as well. She's so tiny!

Boxed up & ready to go!

Onward! To the next chapter of my life~ :D
<3 Tina

Updating on what's been going on in my life lately.

First of all, looks like everything that we've been arranging to move to San Marcos is slowly falling into place. Job transfer is pretty much all set, except we need to make sure that we're still making enough hours. The apartment seems to be going okai, seems like they're making it harder to get an apartment these days. My mom is a little upset that we're leaving a month early, but what can I do? The apartment will be ready to move in by July 1st! We'll see how this new chapter of my life goes~

A package from Cybermelli was waiting for me when I got back from San Marcos/Austin! Claire took the liberty of snatching up the blue ReMent shirt right away!

It's been four years since you've left my side. I miss you very much & think of you everyday. I wish you were here to be with me as I move on to the next chapter of my life. I love you Pepper, you'll always be in my heart.



Forever loved, forever missed. Rest in peace, my dear Pepper.

Amber has stripped a Myscene Rollergirl of her clothes and is now skating around my house, lookin' all cute and stuff! I love it! She looks soooooooo adorable!!

Work has been quite busy lately. I got asked if I was married/engaged like four times today. I swear, I've been working at that place for over a year now, and I still get asked by the associates there as well! I can understand customers, but associates too? XD; I do plan to marry Gabe of course! It's just the matter of financial issues, mainly because Gabe needs another job & I need to get done with school (plus a better job for me too~). I love him so much! He's so sleepy right now. I kept bugging him to eat half of my pizza, he took a bite and went straight back to sleep! What a cute little bugger that I have!

On dolly matters, Lana & Amber are now officially wigged! They're so much cuter now~ I definitely have to take a family photo tomorrow (Or try to, anyway)! Here's a picture of each of them:

I realized that I've never taken a picture of Haley, Lily, & Zoe together! They were my first Pullips! I'm so glad that I got them.. Haley & Lily are so beautiful to me! I need to give Zoe more attention.. Poor little girl!! I love my girls so much!

Here's my new girl, Amber! She now has Chill's stock eyechips, painted eyelids & nails, and new fuller eyelashes~ I'm still waiting on her new wig (it'll be black), and I need to get her a new earring! She was a TOTAL PAIN to customize! Mainly because her scalp was super-glued onto her head by her previous owner~
