i_wander: "i won!"

 i should've posted this a week ago but i was so tied up with my chores (like most moms are, ya'know!) and i didn't find the time to post it here. this is a necklace that i've won from a contest in MAF. now what is MAF? you'd ask, right? click the banner, please.

it is a site where lolitas, gyarus, decoras, j-pop, k-pop fashion and more meet and share their love for these Asian fashion styles and lifestyles. i became a member there months ago and i became one of the site moderators. (you might want to check out my post about it here) i could tell many stories about that community but not today. i am in so hurry and i have to keep this entry short.

anyway, one of the nicest member from new york sponsored a contest about a month (or so) ago... and we were encouraged to join. she made some pretty necklaces and have asked the members to choose one that would fit their personality and tell her why. i chose this design for i think it fits me well. it has a piece/slice of cake with a skull. why? it's just that i know i can be as sweet or even sweeter just like that cake but i can also be deadly when i get angry. LOL! scary, huh? not really... i think i have an "extreme" personality... i don't know. only people who are close to me can tell...

fortunately, my answer was chosen and i won that lovely cutie necklace! and now it's here! i got this last week.. i needed to take good photos that's why this is so late...

i reeeally ehl-oh-vee-eee it!

maybe one day i'd be able to tell you more about that lovely site and the people who are in there... that place is more than just a website to me. it is my second home. i found the best people in the web through that site. and i have learned more than just Asian fashion from them. i maybe too old for that place but they welcomed me warmly and most of them showed respect to me just like to an older sister. and i'm greatly honored. ^_^

 btw, i've mentioned that i love the necklace but tell you what... i love the wrapper too!

i heart bubble wrap! do i need to tell you why? ^_^

unexpected

when i got home yesterday from the shoot, i was surprised with a parcel from USPS. i was really excited to see what's inside and as soon as i opened it, i was like, "wow-wow-wow!"... it's a tote from myasianfashion administrator. and it's a gift for the chosen moderators of the site. i was lucky to be chosen and i am glad to be a part of a growing network of girls sharing the same interest -- fashion. i may be the oldest, most active person in that site but i don't mind. sometimes, i feel intimidated but i was able to get through it. i love young people! it feels refreshing! to my sissies in that site, thanks for welcoming me... and to the admin, thanks for choosing me as one of the mods! i swear, i am always watching...

slow

today, i am taking things slow and easy... perhaps, take a break from the pretensions. ugh! i feel sooo not into it! really. i mean there are times that i feel interested and that the feeling is so intense. the urge to type it down is way too uncontrollable. that i couldn't get the sleep i want unless i type them down. but today, just for today at least... i want some rest.

then i visited "my babies". though tired, i have a duty to fulfill. it always feel that way. it always makes me feel that i'm in charge of things. and sometimes those things are really out of my circles.

questions that really needs truthful answers. could be nonsense but still, i believe they ought to know. and if i don't tell them, who else would? as if other people have time to care...

i remember what mom told me... "you have a gift. the gift of listening. and not so many people are good at it." geez... thanks mom! what a relief! but hey! sometimes i don't like it... and sometimes i need to be heard too... would you care?

oh crap! perhaps, i'll just go back to taking things slow and easy... just today... just for one day.
