I was not really a fan of Hello Kitty at first. She's cute and all but I'm a little picky when it comes to collecting things. I'm more of a mixed-variety collector. I don't care much about the brand or manufacturer, as long as it's cute and pretty and somewhat useful, I'm in. But I have to admit, when they launched their fruity collection, I got reeled in like a fish on a hook. I googled online for more of their fruity products and found a lot of them on amazon.
Q: Why am I not living in Japan?
A: Because I'd be poor and homeless the first week I move to that country. With all the things I'll be hoarding left and right, I have to be locked in to control the madness. Lol!
These are polyresin accessory cases I recently acquired. There are actually five of them but I'm missing the pear because they were out of stock in the Chinese novelty store I frequent. It's so nostalgic to be in that place. Seeing all the things I used to have when I was little. Apart from Hello Kitty, I used to have My Melody, Little Twin Stars, Kerokerokeropi, and Porkchop & Friends. The latter was when I was in college. I still regret not buying the coin bank porkchop family collection when I saw them in Cebu. They're so cute and the girl pig was wearing a pink dress. I feel stupid buying the family toy piggy bank. When I saw the whole family collection in one of the stores in china town, one cost 120 euros alone. Are they kidding me?? I'm never buying it for that much. It didn't even cost half that when I saw them in Cebu. If you do happen to see them in the malls there, let me know please!

Mike finally decided to buy a Wii. He's been contemplating for months whether to buy it or not, but when he saw the big pile of boxes in the store last weekend, he gave in. It's been hard to get hold of them. They were always out of stock. We wanted the Wii Fit too but that's also out of stock so we hope they restock again this week. I did two hours of Wii Sports an hour after I woke up. I must say that it is a good work-out. I huffed and puffed and produced sweat I haven't in a long time. I'm adding it to my daily routine for sure. I lingered on boxing the longest because it made me move more. Discovered a few tricks on knocking out the opponent with a hard blow - it felt like a sort of combo because of the special effect. It's my first time to play golf and I'm so happy to have a chip-in and a birdie! And I won 10-1 in baseball. My highest score in bowling so far is only 164. I suck at tennis though so I have to work on that. I've only been playing for two days.
Mike made videos of me playing it last night and laughing. I'm not posting them so don't ask. It's just funny how I took on my parents' moves when they play bowling. My dad has this back-kicking thing going on after he throws the ball while my mom does the one leg-bending and one-stretched. I exaggerate a bit when I do it to add some flexing for my butt exercise. So far, it worked and I'm all achy mostly at my back parts. I'm liking it though!
So yeah, I'm quite a fanatic when it comes to competitive sports. We only have one controller now because that too was out of stock. Looking forward to be playing against Mike. I'm so gonna kick his ass!
These fabrics have been screaming for some attention so I paired them up for some little projects I'll be whipping up shortly after I finish this entry and hit the shower. Had to borrow Ma's sewing machine because my new one is somewhat defective and I lost the receipt so I can't ask for warranty. Sigh. I just hope we get to figure it out soon so I can work with that instead. I have two weeks to use Ma's machine as she is now on her vacation to Scotland. She didn't give me that timeline - I imposed that on myself. It's a perfect opportunity to be productive in the sewing department and get things done. No more procrastination and doodling on notebooks. It's time to put my ideas out and make them "alive".
>> I'm still using my phone's camera to take these pictures. I haven't replaced the lens yet since it broke. :(
>> Oh, wow! Three entries in a day. It's a record!

| Aww, I love those Hello Kitty fruity bits. Tennis is my fav on the Wii - I used to play when I was younger and so I'm naturally half decent at it. I like tennis but at some point it can get tiring when I never hit it to where I want it to. It's just hitting the ball back and forth. Not fun. lol |

| Congratulations on the new Wii. LOL! It's addictive, isn't it? Just wait till you get the Wii Fit, it's awesome. We bought the Wii fit last Friday, found it in the States when we went, it's sold out everywhere here in Canada. Happy Gaming / Work-out! Haha, thanks! I'm taking a break now and probably tomorrow too because my right wing and arm are sore! They're even possibly swollen. Tensed muscles. Hee-hee. I can see myself playing it regularly though, especially boxing. Can't wait to get the Wii Fit! |

| Wheeee for a Wii!! :) Couldn't resist. lol I haven't taken the plunge yet - I'm sot sure I'd like it. I like playing on my PS2 and PSP and mostly it's strategy games. Although I won't knock the Wii 'till I tried it. :) I love the material btw -- can't WAIT to see what you made. ;) I thought the same thing about it but I didn't want to be a sheep and buy it because everyone has it. Some people we know got it right away and don't even play it much. Talk about a waste! You'd love it!!! I'm sure you will. But you have your puppies to play with now and a house to decorate and all the post-moving things to do so I suggest you wait a while. |

| my comment got lost or somethin', dunno why? anyways, i'm looking forward to what those pretty fabrics will become, they're soooo lookin' good! the fruity hello kitties are so pretty too! Hmm.. that's strange. I hope it doesn't happen again!I've been sewing the whole day since I woke up. Didn't even eat anything until later. I was so engrossed to what I was doing that I forgot the time. Will show more pics tomorrow! |

| We have the Xbox 360, but I've played the Wii at my brother's. Creating your own Mii is a cute option. I actually got serious tennis elbow the first time I played hehe |
