In hindsight it will be better if the blanket wasn't yellow, but I had fun editing it. Joe hasn't had much photos, if at all, eh. :/ He's supposed to be happy but I guess I like gloomy shots. Haha.

Sdrcow's dA journal on Recast Information (friendly).

Just thought I'll put a link to it because much as I am anti-recast, I think it's good to have a more friendly/neutral attitude when starting to introduce the topic of recasts, especially to people who just encountered the topic. I might link this properly on the sidebar but for now, let's leave it here.

Won't you just look at this cute and happy face? Cypher is one of the easiest to pose, on account of how light he is, and cos the LTF body is pretty damn cool with all its inner notches to help hold poses. I was playing with him at a dollmeet although he wasn't really dressed for the theme (kinda just brought him along cos he's light, haha) and I wanted to see if he could squat.

I've not really had the time or inclination to play or photograph my dolls lately, because I feel like I'm really busy (well, I guess I am, technically), but I'm thinking if that's actually a smart move. I just realise how happy playing with them makes me feel, and school has been making me feel really stressed lately, no matter how much I tried to alleviate it by doing my work regularly and on time. At least for a short while when I do play with my dolls I feel more relaxed. Hmmmm...

Either way, just editing this photo makes me feel a bit better, so, yay, Cypher? Haha.

Gah, I thought I was set on selling my LLT Roderich, but everytime I pick him up in real life, I decide against selling him. And I'm also worried that if I sell him, I'll end up regreting it. The problem is, I ran out of space for so many dolls. Like honestly, the only reason why it's okay now is because the 2 SDs that won't fit inside my wardrobe (which already has 9 SDs in it) are being brought to hostel with me. Which basically means that I actually ran out of space for dolls 2SDs ago. Gahh.

Besides the Roderich head, Freddie (Volks Olivia) is my only floating head left without a body. And I still want to get at least a Dollmore Zaoll dreaming Luv in white skin. Which is why reason would suggest that I sell the Roderich head, because I'm the least attached to him, and he doesn't really have a character. But I am so reluctant to part with pretty resin things. Sighhhh. Why am I such a hoarder?

Some updates now that I'm back in Singapore, haha. I feel kind of busy/still dazed from finishing the semester in Korea, then going to Japan (so many things to see, so many things to buy), and I'm not even done unpacking, lol.

Anyway, I actually went to 2 Volks stores in Japan, one in Akihabara (Akiba), and one in Osaka. The one in Akiba I kind of stumbled upon, while looking at a shop that sells Azones (Pure Neemo are so cute), and I just went up the floors of that building until I saw Volks by chance, haha.

The one in Osaka was the one I intended to go:




Took a while to find the place with my friend's directions and just when I thought I won't spend any more money after leaving Volks with some clothes, I saw a sign for Dolk...so I went to find that as well. It's quite near Volks Osaka. Anyway, Dolk has some of its own clothes and eyes, but mostly that store had items from other companies, like Dollheart, Ninestyle, etc. I bought a shirt and a pair of eyes there, cos I couldn't resist. Being on holiday makes me spend with less restraint (so badddd).


And now that I'm back home, I had to open up Elly (whom I've shipped back home from Korea), and Joe's body (the Dollstown 15 boy body I bought 2nd hand). And I only just managed to put Joe onto his body yesterday, and dressed him up in something random so he won't be naked (apparently in my absence, my doll drawers have been blocked by a table that my sister used for studying, which makes me reluctant to dig through my clothing pile for something for appropriate for Joe).



But to be honest, I'm still kind of tired and lazy to want to do anything with my dolls besides lay them out to look at them.

I'm sitting here with Elly all packed up at my side. I'm shipping her back to Singapore, because I don't think I'll have the space to bring her as carry-on on the flight to Japan and from Japan back to Korea, then Korea to Singapore (so many flights :/). It's a bit of a pity, considering I never will visit a Volks shop with a Volks doll, haha, but I'm sure I'll be more annoyed at how I have to carry Elly on top of clothes and my laptop and camera and whatnot during the year end trip to Japan, so...I have to go ship her back home.

Unfortunately this is when my mind starts asking what if. I'm going to ship her with EMS just to be safe, but gahhh, I can't get over how sometimes I'm just worried about the postal system in general. I think it's partly cos I've never shipped from Korea before, but then again, I've had quite a few dolls arrived from Korea so, it should be fine. Either ways, I'm going to be looking at the tracking until she reaches Singapore. Gonna go ship her out before or after lesson tomorrow.

Also, my DT15 body's tracking isn't really updating? And the tracking website is in Spanish, which I have to copy paste to google translate (chrome's auto translate doesn't work on the part where it actually tells me where my parcel is...). :| I'm just being a tad paranoid by all the tracking and shipments and stuff.

The other day I found someone selling a hybrid with the DT15 boy body. I've always wanted that body, and now that the old version is sold out, I was really excited to see it for sale. So I actually went ahead to contact the seller and now I've paid and I'm just waiting for the body to be shipped out. Gahhh. It's gonna reach Singapore before I'm even back. And I want to see if it'll fit Joe (cos no one else would really need that body). And whether Joe might need to be reblushed or something to fit the skintone, lol. Joe's too pink, I think (I'm guessing). But, I'm not gonna see it for...at least a month. No wait, longer. Ahhh :/
