Sister & Nephew

First birthday @ Disneyland!
My beautiful sister came with her cute little baby to visit from Thailand. She also brought his nanny along to help out. He celebrated his first birthday here. It's the first time that I've met her son in person. Babies have such round heads XD. His head is so big that all the collar of his shirts are stretched beyond repair. They had such a hard time putting the shirts over his head lol. It's very funny to how my sister and the nanny has to work so hard to change his shirts. The highlight of the trip is probably Disneyland. We were debating if we should take him for his first birthday or not. (Yay! he's a Leo just like me >:D) In the end, she decided to take him and he had a great day. He loves Toon Town. I think he just likes cars in general. This is actually my first time going to Disneyland with a baby. Here are some pics that I loved the most from the Disney trips.

He also loves Mocha and Sherlock. He'd always try to play with them. We're so lucky that our pets are also very good with children. ^^
He made a new friend while he was here. Liam from next door stopped by and played with him a few times. Liam showed him some basketball and baseball moves. Liam is in Little League. He's my favorite little boy. Isn't he super sweet and super cute? ^^. He even let him borrow his super cool car :)

The super cool car. The super cool car deserved a big picture slot since Reef's expression is also priceless lol. He was so into it.

Klimt @ The Getty

I went to the Getty Museum for Klimt exhibit with Mitsu, Pailin, and her baby. They didn't allow you to take photos inside the gallery, but Mitsu and I brought our sketch pads, so we also did some studies sketches while we were there.


Then we went to Amandine and grabbed tasty sandwiches and desserts :d.

I've been wanting to make origami roses for a while now. I messed up a few times, but eventually I did it! Yay! Now what should I do with them? @_@ lol. I actually learned how to knit recently as well. I feel quite crafty lately haha.

James Jean Prada

James Jean's special edition Prada
I just saw this bag in my mom's closet. My uncle gave it to her. OMG! She doesn't even know who James Jean is! I'm not even into designer's purses, but I'm totally stealing this Mwhahaah *fangirl moment* :p

cool gadgets

new toys! I like compact things because they take up less space. I love walking around Japanese stationary stores. There are so many cute and cool gadgets. I bought some new toys. Aren't they cool? It's hard to tell what they are when they're in their compact forms, but viola! a scissor and a stapler :D so cool!

Double set of lashes

I was at Porto's for lunch and I saw a very pretty little girl. She was probably around 3 years old. She had very pretty eyelashes. They were long, thick, and perfectly curled. Even her lower set of lashes were very long and prominent. Her mother told me that it's actually a birth defect. She was born with double set of lashes. Of all the birth defect huh? Lucky girl.

When I came home, I googled it because it seemed interesting and found out that Elizabeth Taylor also had the same birth defect! It's called "Distichiasis".  

Kitten

Acting cute in my purse
About 3 weeks ago, a friend of a friend found a kitten in her backyard. He was about 2 weeks old and was covered in fleas. I really didn't want another cat, but doesn't he look like Coco? >_<. ARggggh I'm really going to turn into a cat lady. Anyways, the shelter didn't want to take the kitten because he was too small. When they're that small, you need to feed them every 2 hours, and they might still not make it. I felt bad for him so I offered to foster him, but of course I got attached. Luckily he seems pretty healthy and he's growing very fast. When he first came, he was only 6 ounces. Now he's 1 lb and 3 ounces :). I made a temporary tumblr account for him. We were calling him Moogle, but now my mom's dog (Mocha) is confused because their names sound too similar, so I might have to come up with another name for the kitten.

He seems to be a siamese mix tabby because he's a pointed cat with some stripes on his legs and tails. His eyes looked gray at first, but it's becoming more like a deep blue. It's still changing.





inside the Gelato Bar
I took him to the Gelato Bar with me. He's so good at not wandering around. I also have to take him with me to my classes on Tuesdays because I'm at school all day. He'd just be sleeping most of the day and would only wake up when he is hungry or needs to go to the bathroom. He's so sweet. Even though he's keeping me super busy, I still miss Coco so much. Nothing could ever replace my Coco. <3

Designer Con 2011

Lak messing around lol
I've never been to Designer Con before. Shame on me! tsk tsk. It's not a big convention, but if you're into Designer's Toys, you're in for a treat! I went with Lak and Gary. DKE toys (my distributor) also has a booth there. I ran into a lot of people. Who'd have thought that Jupey is in my class! We saw each other and we were like "hey! I know you!" lol. He draws super uber cute things. I also ran into another student from my class while I was walking around. Lak was surprise to see his friend there as well. she's extremely talented too!


Live painting too!

Afterwards, we went to eat and hang out. I got to talk to Lak a lot about different projects that I'm working on. Lak is super creative, so it's really fun to brainstorm with him. It was such a fun day :)
