( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ AniMaid Cafe Back-to-School Event!

( ^_^)／ やぁ！This past weekend we had our ever-so-popular AniMaid Cafe High School theme event! Theme?

BACK TO SCHOOL!! (≧▽≦*)

This was a free event held at Desu-Nation! Setting was made to feel like a classroom, where we had lessons! For this event, we had basic Japanese, art, and dance class!

I do not have many pictures, but here is a short sum of it:

Kuma and meganekko~! Energizing for class!

OPPA GANGNAM STYLE. Waiting for class to start! _〆(・∀・＠)

Yuki got in trouble for talking in class, so Kaname had her go up to help with Japanese lessons! ☆⌒(＞。≪)

Art class! New student Bonnie-chan helped decorate..but when we tried to take pictures holding it, it started melting! ._.

Bonnie and her class crush! d(-_^)good!!

Mio came to visit for lunch hour! Nya~! （*＾・＾）ＣＨＵ〜☆

Okie, short updated post! I end it with my face after I got ready for the event! Bye-bye~!

Shopping Haul & Photoshoot!

SHOPPING!!

Did quite a bit this past weekend (finally!) XD. I have not been going out much.. makes me almost anti-social 。・゜・(/Д`)・゜・。うわぁぁぁぁん BUT I FINALLY DRAGGED MY BOOTY OUT! v(￣∇￣)ﾆﾔｯ

Went out with Mio last Friday to just to do a small catch-up while window-shopping... which ended up to actual shopping. Good thing I only found two items I really liked, or my wallet will empty too fast ￣Д￣　＝３　ハァ 

My small haul..

Light denim button-up by Rubbish

                   

 

Honestly I have been looking for a great denim-styled top. Though I was looking for a collared one, this was such a good buy, I had to snag it! Soft and not too short, the sleeves go half way to my forearm, perfect for Spring! The fact that it is a button-up makes it easy to wear it as a shirt alone, or as a cover over a tank for those slightly breezier days! And that gathered back panel is SO cute! Finally I have something for SPRING! ヽ(^◇^*)/ ﾜｰｲ

Sperry Penny Loafters

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THESE.

I seriously have been looking for the perfect pair of menswear/schoolgirl-inspired loafers, and they are, for some reason, SO difficult to come by! It was literally by chance I just saw these when out with Mio. And do you see that price tag?

$36.90 FOR A PAIR OF SPERRY'S?



..

....

WHAT

TRICK

ARE THE GODS

PLAYING

ON

ME?!

But the tag is right when it got rung up. SO HAPPY THIS IS REAL!!!

ﾜｰｲ♪☆彡(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ☆彡ﾍ(ﾟ▽ﾟﾍ)☆彡(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ☆彡ﾜｰｲ♪

WIN.

So the next thing I got recently is a free care package from Target! It was basically a small essentials bag of things that a girl may need!

Makeup bag, Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes, L'Oreal Magic Lumi Primer, Target coupon booklet, Nivea lotion, Neutrogena Visibly Bright Daily Facial Cleanser, Pantene Shampoo

 For someone like me who tends to overpack essentials because I lack the motivation to buy travel-size items, this is perfect! They ALL fit in this small pouch (about the size of my Samsung Galaxy S2!!) O_O AMAZING? Σ(O_O；)Shock！！ Definitely keeping this for traveling purposes! (and the bag is so cute homg ;x)

 Sunday rolled around, and I finally got to see people. Not just one person, but more than one (LOL what?).. because I went to...

AniMaid Cafe Photoshoot

♪♪(((≧▽≦)八(≧▽≦)八(≧▽≦)))♪♪仲間！！

I have been so distracted and busy, I rarely ever did anything really social.. unless social media like Facebook count ;x hehe~

So I finally went to the second day of the shoot (first day was Saturday but of course, I was busy! x_x;), and met a few new maids and new hosts! I have to learn names again wahh~ .__. hope I remember.

Anywho, PICTURES!!

Just got ready for shoot! Excuse the weird bangs parting =_=; I need a haircut sigh

Rika & Mio~

Somehow, we were called "hime" (don't know who decided to start this =_=;), which means "princess" in Japanese.

Let me explain. Someone in the maid cafe decided to start calling us hime based on parts of our personality. I do not know how they got to call us that (seriously? princess? am I a brat? omgosh I really hope not..  >:l GUYS STOP CALLING ME THAT ;A; ), but it got around and now we are..

Me - Tomato hime; this is because I get embarrassed easily and turn red so fast.. .__. sigh..
Mio - ____ hime; I don't know how to label what type she is, but she acts like a little girl princess XD
Rika - Pudding hime; she LOVES pudding. Like pudding milk tea, pudding in general.. and she's sweet like that too!

Continuing with pictures..

Chu~

So bored because I am waiting for others to finish shooting..

..so camwhore lol

OH HAI THAR!

Other meido and new hosts doing shoot! I sit this one out!

 After a few hours of shooting, we finally decided to grab some food!! Mio wanted to watch the Laker game, so BJ's Restaurant it is!!

New maid Chise-chan (she loves pikachu btw!), host Ichiru, and new maid Tori-chan (she's so shy! kawaii~)!

Huh? I know, I'm so lame for this one lol

New hosts on right side! Ojousama want to know them hm? ;x

Photographer John! We call him "gummy" :)

Rika!

Tori~!

Mio!

GUMMY! LOLLLL (ξ^∇^ξ) ホホホホホホホホホ

Chise-chu~!

MY FOOD! Jambalaya ftw!

 After eating, most of us separated, but Gummy (John), Mio, Rika, and I decided to wander the plaza BJ's Restaurant was in!

Rika on kiddy bike! Hahaha~

Y MAI EYZ SHO SMALL?! （；_・）

LOL

  

We roamed and shopped a bit, but I didn't buy anything! It was nice to see some people again though, especially since I have being hiding under a rock! I will see if I can post some pictures from our shoot later this week or something!

Good night now! Off I go!  ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉｲｯﾃｷﾏ-ｽ!!

long time no post!! ♥ gomenasai~

DS deco mikan did for mio! elegant gothic style!

-

so sorry for belated updates neh! x_xi i dunno' what to blog nowadays! but this is minor update nya!!

recently i started doing DECODEN again! i always like deco, so mikan did some for mio's DS (i begged her to let me =_=i). also decorated mine, which is very opposite in style than her's:

too much free time maybe? okie maybe just a little hehe~

recently i have been having a hard time finding clothes i like, so mikan has been doing lots of DIY stuffs! i will possibly put some tutorials for ladies if you would like some! first thing mikan made was from korean pop group 4Minute MV "HUH"! hoodie influence looks like this:

totally my style! so punk so rock so hardcore! i love big hoods! *0* but one i made was not as cool, but very versatile! yesh! fortunately mikan had a shoot with koto, rayna, and suki, so gilbert took some pics of it!

 

please ignore my wannabe-cool-model face in last picture x_xi. but yes, was very happy! it is also made seamless; no stitches seen! this takes more fabric but i did it anyway! ♥ fabric i bought by weight. yes weight! $2/lb (because leftover from previous season/roll so store try to get rid of it)! it is very soft and very silky-feeling!

also, every gal knows ViVi, JJ, and all the japanese fashion magazines yes? well every doll knows of the twisty headband trend too? of course! so mikan made some of them too, but with own flare!

 

i like them fat and chunky! skinny headbands make me feel weird, don't know why x_xi. but yes, been making a lot of clothes and accessories lately since i am picky at stuff nowadays because i can't find what i want in store. ~(*Q* ~) much more fun nya~!

currently learning crochet! i am teaching myself to make a circle scarf instead of buying! it is very versatile and mikan love layering, so this is a fun project ^u^. what do you dollies like to make? any DIY tutorials for me to look at? i feel crafty! ♥

lots of pics! ♥

cosplaying as Maria from Arakawa Under the Bridge! also did a shoot in meido uniform for AniMaid Cafe!

-

it has been a long time neh! gomenasai! it has been....mmm... 2 months! o_oi so sorry~

but update on what mikan has been up to lately! not so long ago i had photoshoot with koto for our Arakawa Under the Bridge cosplays! koto cosplayed as P-ko and mikan did Maria!

after taking pics, koto wanted to put on my wig for fun. we look like sister huh! XD~

  

also, rayna and their friend suki tagged along to do their individual photoshoot! it looked a lot like love x vamp x lolita style! it suppose to be like a vamp love story ♥~

 

and of course our photographer was mr. gilbert!

shoot took very long! it was a hot day so we felt really dehydrated! so we decided to grab snacks at Guppy's to fill our tummy and cool us off.

part one of the meal, spicy crispy chicken! the spicy powder stuff was put to the side since koto couldn't eat too much spicy (it ok, more for suki and me!).

our huge bowl of strawberry + condensed milk + shaved ice. perfect after hot day! it was so much, we couldn't even finish it! ♥ but so good~

and lastly, our coconut french toast thingy with sweet syrup *Q* we nommed it up!

after eating, we all decided to relax at an arcade place called Round1. there is SO much to do there! there is an arcade, claw machines, purikura ($5/booth!!), bowling, karaoke, darts, ping-pong, and a small food court! it was my first time there so mikan definitely feel like it was beautiful *0* (♥purikura/claw machine/karaoke!)!

  

  

and by the end of the night, i was given two plushies to take home with me! ^_^ thankies mr. gilbert! ♥

right after going, a week later was koto's birthday! SEPTEMBER 19 = HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOTO! ♥

this time was more fun! why? because the theme was KIGURUMI KAROKE! so what were all the outfits?! it was so much fun i will just show pictures XD~

not everyone had a kigurumi, but this sofa had all kigurumi furries! you can see one of our newer maids erri is a pikachu!

and look what koto got as a gift! her friend made it! look just like her! ♥ just as cute as her too~

and if you can't tell, koto is a chipmunk. big hint: disney character!

chiyo also was trying to win a rilakkuma really bad. all together, everyone tried to win it for her but the machine was being stupid! total money spent with everyone: $125+ STUPID MACHINE! as;fdlkja

SEE?! it is stuck in that position! rilakkuma's head was too heavy to lift, so we had to drag slowly the whole way, but it still won't fall! :: angry :: but we all finally did it and chiyo was so happy and grateful that she bought us drinks. thankies chiyo~ we were not going to leave until you got one! ♥

but few days before the karaoke, kai and i got plushy! so why is the machine so mean now! we didn't spend that much! and my twinsy mio did a lot of the claw machine-ing for the plushies for me too. thankies twinsy! ♥
the before picture:
   kai: oh i want plushy rilakkuma /emo  ;A;

the after picture:
   kai: (= u =) ~♥

and mikan want fat brown one (so cute it has embroidered zipper down the back! ♥), so mio got it for me! ♥

ALMOST THERE! ♥~

after making scrump for her, we fall asleep in same bed from exhaustion! x_xi i woke up early so my rilakkuma take my place!


okie so back to the partay! after karaoke a lot of other friends came! original was i think 15 people, then later it was over 20! sugoi! we take up lots of room! so fun with so many people ♥

and of course, i got plushy because twinsy got for me! look at her hard work!

 

mio's kigurumi is of Scrump from Lilo and Stitch! we stayed up late to make it! we also got matching hello kitty plushy that day to go with our kigurumis. coincidence really!

after karaoke, we spent whole time with everyone taking purikura! so many so many! but we found our favorite machine! ♥ after that we went for dinner and dessert, then everyone had to go because school started for almost everyone :/. but it was really fun..got to see many people haven't seen in a while! miss you all! ♥

-

so..anyone know what is mikan's kigurumi?


my favorite plush of course!

GLOOMY BEAR ♥ and just added bloodstain the day before karaoke too! ;x
