I'm updating on Globe Tattoo. I've called Globe already for repair, so until then I'll be updating on Twitter only.
FYI!

In keeping with our new yearly Christmas tradition, here's our 2009 Christmas picture:

I'm not planning to watch any film fest movie, but if you are, you might see this sequel to the trailer with that strange voice over.

It's an old photo (taken earlier this year as she was leaving the Kabbalah Center) but clearly she's got her mom's unique sense of style—beyond all norms of normy fashion.

I haven't fangirled in a loooooooooooooooooooooong time!
It also feels like forever that I last posted any screencaps - may it be jdrama or anime.
Naruto has been quite boring lately, but since Sasuke is finally back on screen it has become soooooooooooo awesome!
And I as Sasuke fan was especially happy, of course ❤
(On the other hand Bleach is still very boring ............................... too many fillers and stuff *yawns*)

This is a tribute to the 2 brothers: Sasuke and Itachi who finally meet again and have their final battle.
For those of you who haven't seen Naruto Shippuden episodes 135--138 or haven't read the corresponding manga chapters yet, this entry will contain HUGE SPOILERS, so please DO NOT CLICK ON THE LJ CUT IF YOU DON'T WANNA GET SPOILED!!!

I won't comment much, I want the screenshots to speak for themselves. For those of you who click on the link, you know what's going on there anyway :)

But first of all:



NARUTO warns his viewers about INFLUENZA??????? XDDDDD



When I saw that I couldn't stop laughing! That's Japan!! Go, Japan! XDDDD



Let's start with a flashback ..... (chibi Sasuke is sooo cute (*_*) ...)

( The secret of the Uchiha clan )



No, I don't want SasukexItachi doujinshi now. No, no, no, no!!! o┤*´Д｀*├o

P.S.: If you want to use any of my screenshots, please go ahead. If you put them on a website or convert them into icons, please don't forget to credit, thanks ❤

Cranium Balloon Lagoon was one of the things Ben asked for Christmas.


Got it on Amazon, shipped it through Johnny Air. Opened on Christmas eve.
Problem is, one of the parts was broken.



I wrote Amazon a short email saying we're in the Philippines and can't send the item back for refund or exchange.
(I actually paid a lot to have it Johnny Aired over here.)
I sent them the photo.
Less than one hour later I receive this reply:

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear about the condition in which your Cranium Balloon Lagoon arrived.
We make every attempt to package items securely to protect them during shipping, but sometimes damage does occur.
We always appreciate customer input on how we can improve our store, and I've forwarded your message to our shipping department.
I've checked your order and see it was placed with Wonder Toys, a third-party seller on our website. Because Wonder Toys's inventory is constantly changing, we can't replace items sold by them that are Fulfilled by Amazon.
It would be expensive to return the item in this case, so there's no need to return the item.
I've requested a refund for $44.59, the cost of the item and shipping costs. This refund will go through within the next 2-3 days and will appear as a credit on your next credit card billing statement. etc.

I responded by saying thank you for the refund, and got an email just now that the refund is already being processed. Now that's customer service.

"The rule of the regift goes something like this: If you think you won't use it, but you know someone who absolutely will, then it's OK to regift. If you thought the present was a lame gift and questioned the sanity of the person who gave it to you, why pass that on to some one else who will, in turn, question your sanity?"

Remember mine and Jeroen's matching Puma Pop-Arts from Harajuku?


Jeroen has a new version called 917 Lo Africa.


Only Php 2870, you can find them in Puma stores at Glorietta 4 and Bonifacio High Street.


Jeroen loves them.
Pumas are my favorite sneakers. I prefer them now to Louis Vuitton sneakers—so five years ago.
Got these in Harajuku



And these in Hong Kong


The good news is, Puma styles are getting hipper in Manila. Look what I spotted...
Slip ons are great for days you really don't want to deal with shoestrings.



Love this cartoony style


Gave this to my sister


Nice colors!


Look for them in Puma stores at Bonifacio High Street • Festival Supermall Alabang • Glorietta 4 • Greenbelt 5• Trinoma • Ayala Center Cebu • Gaisano Mall of Davao • Limketkai Mall Cagayan de Oro • Robinsons Place Bacolod

Because I just found a Horizon whose name is Damien!
WHY?

Actually, it doesn't really concern me, since my Horizon is no more and Damien is a Sebastian. But it gets on my nerves. Do people have zero originality or what? Last year I found a Prunella with the name Ciel, and I was quite pissed over it as well.

Funniest thing is, these are people who follow my dollie drama. I bet they just "stole" names from my dolls, like, "Hmmm, Rui's Horizon's name is Damien. I should name mine the same as well, just because the name so suits him!" PUHLEEES. And I'm not going into detail how hard I researched names just for my dolls.

Which also reminds me, I started the Lead x Prunella pairing.

Of course, you may say that it's their business what they do with their dolls. But I'm just going to be obnoxious here and bitch about other people's unoriginality. If I find someone's Lead with the name Cayenne, I'm so going to Flickrmail that person and make him change it.

Oh, a parting word: I know I am the one setting all these ~TRENDS~ but please don't come to me and make me look like I was late in the game.

I miss being a bitch.
