194. Post Bday post & Top Photo Apps I use

Birthday came and gone...was pretty uneventful for the most part since I decided to go to work that day instead of requesting for the day off. Well, mostly because it was on a Tuesday. Which is probably one of the oddest times of the week. Same old same old at work. But my co-worker made some unicorn rainbow cupcakes lol (rainbow dash cupcakes anyone? - yes bronies ftw)

 

193. Fashion District, Food pr0n and prebday splurge

Don't really have much to talk about except for the fact that we had gotten some epic mad deals when we went to the Fashion District over the weekend during Cinco de Mayo!!! Hola!!! and Suprisingly enough a lot of the stores were open! We were all pretty worried a lot of them would be closed due to the Holiday....
but suprisingly enough a lot were open and I came out with quite a few fabric. My biggest find of the day was the 6 for $1.00 buttons! LOL. I probably bought like $15+ worth of buttons lol~

 

 These iPhone photos doesnt do the buttons I got any justice but you can see some of the ones we got~
bought some trims and buttons for Trinity Blood and Kuroshit cosplay for AX. Now the battle is to get through all my commission work and finish all cosplays in time for the convention x__X

191. HG 1/144 Zaku Warrior Live Concert Version

Wawawah, before I go any further with this post. I want to remind you guys that me and Toshi are trying to desperarely get rid of some items. Most are new, or gently used items. I'm in the process of moving again and in need to clear out items from my closet so I can free up some stuff. A lot of my stuff has went into the donation box already but I figured some of the items I have up for sale are very much in good condition; have only been worn once and are very much still new. And we are selling some brand new wigs just intime for the cosplay season~ please check it out: http://garagesalejapan.livejournal.com/19118195.html#cutid1

I may be revising the link since I'm allowed to re-spam garagesalejapan once every 3 days. Lol....
I'm willing to negotiate the prices as well since I just need to get rid of them at this point. But if their not gonna sell, then oh well, might as well hoard them some more ): 

 

my brothers are obsessed with those damn melon bars

and I wont lie, they are pretty damn addicting, refreshing and oh so good.

So great intime for the summer.

189. New layout

New blog layout after bitching about it for so long and having such a dark darpy looking layout for so long that, I just was not that happy about after staring at it for so long...
and since I was in a rush to change it, I forgot to take a proper screen shot of it for memory orz.

Oh well, lets just all think that it was a bad memory that we rather forget then LOL?! but I DID remember to save the original banner I had...which was this:

 and I had paired it with a black x white bulky stripe background, which worked for a little bit but I'm way over it and wanted something cleaner and nicer? Spring-ish look? And wanted something that reflected something that /I/ personally worked on...

the original banner was a stock photo I found floating around tumblr that didnt even have a proper credit x__Xll shame on me orz and I had altered a bit of it on photoshop.

 

I wanted to pretend I was part of the cool kids and take a screen shot on the Mac (LOL lets pretend of a sec I own a Mac) but clearly my sisters BF pointed out my epic failure "How to screen cap on a Mac"

orz. FAIL! LMAO I should have edited that out HAHAHA

Clearly I work / own a PC looool.

I just abused my room mates Mac which sits in the living room for everyone to use x__X I wish I could pirate CS5 and Lightroom on there ): so I can work on a bigger screen!!!!

I keep forgetting to order AV cables for my laptop so I can plug it into my TV so I can use it as a screen for editing photos. But since I moved rooms and etc...I dont think I'll ever really have room to set that up. But I should remember to do it anyway - would make editing pics better for my eyes vs squinting at my tiny laptop which I believe is a 14"?....

 

This was the other banner I was thinking of using, yay Howl~ LOLZ but somehow I ended up with the Kenshin set instead since its more subtle? I didnt really want to think about the layout and threw this together in 20-30 mins LOL in between gaming x__X  Warriors Orochi 3 is addicting....

I also cleaned it up a bit by getting rid of the flickr feed on the side pannel and twitter feed as well....
I left my links ontop so you guys can still find my Twitter and Flickr accounts from there.

my friend lent me a 3DS with Zelda and Cooking mama on it and I have barely touched it! O___O I also need to be working on my commissions as con season is starting up again! I started on one already....lol....

188. Rurouni Kenshin: Blood Rain

The moment you find the courage to give up your life for someone.. Would be the moment you understand love

You are the one that makes the bloody rain fall.....

The long awaited set from the Sakura Shoot~ LOL (no not really... who am I kidding trolol) This photoshoot has been on my long long long long wish list of things to shoot for years and years and years now.
I'm so happy it finally happened. I wanted to shoot something;

 1. In the water
 2. Blood!
3. Swords
4. KENSHIN! HNNGG

Thank you so much to Hannsel, Christian, Natt and Ash for being such awesome troopers and making this totally happen! *u* It was totally worth every painful rock and sliding down hills for. LOL.
I dont think alot of people noticed but both Ash and Hannsel were both barefooted while shooting in that water (so was everyone else) but its incredible painful to stand on those sharp rocks ): and moosss under your feets LOl (ok maybe I was the only one complaining about that odd feeling under my feet) but still. No Bueno. It was no easy feat getting them to where I needed them to stand and pose. The sun was clearly setting and the water was getting colder. Such troopers!

 As always, I made the entire outfit for Kenshin and happily sacrificed my $20 Esther wig for Kenshin. It was all so worth it. LOl.

AND HERES THE FUN PART. BLOOD. BLOOD. BLOOD. I probably sound like a lunatic (and according to Anh I probably did. Since I kept yelling "WE NEED MORE BLOOD. IF I'M SEEING SKIN I BETTER BE SEEING BLOOD TTwTT"

 heres the one with the translation lol coz I'm a derp:

TRANSLATION~
