Moved!

Alice — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:45:29 +0000

After much contemplation and many, many weeks of being occupied by school and work, I finally decided to move over to blogger. I just find that it is MUCH easier to use compared to wordpress. I have enough complications in my life and wordpress doesn’t need to be one of them. Plus I hate the stupid comments spam I’m always getting…so here it is…

btw, it’s not that complete so please bare with me. :)

New year calls for new things?

Alice — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 02:17:39 +0000

Okay, so I know I’ve been neglecting my blog..AGAIN…that’s nothing new. But I’m starting to reconsider this blog…

There are so many ideas that I want to implement, but I’ve been so busy, tired and sick now that school has started. So, I probably won’t be updating as often because I’m thinking about switching over to blogspot just because it’s so user friendly, but I don’t know yet. We’ll how well I can manage my time…

Christmas–Update!!! :))))))))

Okay, so I also decided to post what I made for Christmas too! Mmm cheeeseeeecakkkeee. :P

Halloween–Update!

Alice — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 00:35:00 +0000

So I’ve been pretty lazy…

I finished finals on 12th and have been on break since then. However, I don’t feel well rested…I’m SO TIRED!!!!!! I’ve been helping Kevin move and working the whole week! I haven’t been getting sleep either.

I know that Halloween was two months ago but I wanted to post some pictures!

Domo-Kun + Pumpkin = Domokin! (Yeah, lame I know)

Yeah, I know there is a “0″ candle but that’s the only candle we had. :( Pretty lame…

Project Dollhouse

Alice — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:56:47 +0000

My plans for this blog isn’t going where I wanted it to originally go, but that is the least of my concerns now. I’m not trying to neglect it, its just that I have a lot of school work. I’m in finals week right now, so you can guess where I’m devoting my time towards.

I wanted to start on a new project every week, but with my hectic schedule, that isn’t going to happen. With the upcoming quarters approaching, it will only get worse.

I’m going to post some completed projects for you to look at (Yes, this update is for you Kat). This dollhouse was made by Susan, Lily, Leslie, Daisy and Tiffany and I during the summer. Haha. Yes, its been that long! It is charity to help raise money for Kermit’s missionary trip.

Living room, this was made by Leslie, Daisy and Tiffany.

The picture is a little blurry, but it wasn’t my photo because my camera ran out of batteries unfortunately. :( But I made the vanity mirror. :)

Bathroom, I also made the mirror. :)

A picture of the whole bathroom.

There were more pictures of the bedroom and kitchen, but I don’t know where those photos went. :(

Enjoy!

BB Update!- Domo Kun!!!

Alice — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:51:12 +0000

So I just discovered that wordpress has an application for blackberrys. I knew that I just had download it. Now it would be easier for me to update since I’m usually on the go anyway. But it is a pain to be typing on this tiny keyboard.
So I just found out that 7-11 is having a new promotion starring Domo-Kun! I’ve always liked this little guy since 8th grade. So it’s sad to see that he’s everywhere now. But I still like him! So I ran down to the local 7-11 and purchased several items. I have yet to find the slurpee cups though…

Energy drink, coffee cup and yes! A usb flash drive! :)

Busy busy bee

I know it has been a while since I’ve last posted. I’ve been really busy with school and work. Since I’m occupied with school, I don’t have time nor do I have the motivation to start on new projects. I have tons of uncompleted articles of clothing from the summer…and now my sewing machine is collecting dust. It’s such a sad sight to see.

I’m getting ready to graduate by June of 2010 so I need to work my butt off and get the heck out of college–so I can move on with my life, relax and work for a year, buy a new car, go to graduate school to pursue my Ph.D.

From my last update: SF was super fun! I loved every single moment of it! I also took lots of photos which I’m not sure when I’ll ever get to posting due to my busy and somewhat tiring life at the moment.

Wicked was really awesome. I left knowing my money was well spent. :) I was literally obsessed for weeks–and yes I got the whole soundtrack as well. Although I was somewhat disappointed with the King Tut exhibition…I was hoping I’d get to see a mummy. But the artifacts and treasures were absolutely stunning.

I’m tired now and must get back to studying…studying on a Friday night??? Sad….I know. :(

Another weekend in SF & more wedding stuff

Alice — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:27:56 +0000

Well, it looks like I’m going up to San Fransisco this weekend! I’m super excited! This is a “last minute trip before school starts again” but the real reason why I’m going up there is to watch Wicked!

Yes, I know I didn’t take advantage of the opportunity while it was in Los Angeles.

I am also going to check out the King Tut and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs Exhibition. I love ancient Egypt. In fact I almost considered studying Egyptology but then Psychology came along.

In the end, both are now located in one of my favorite cities which also gives me a legitimate reason to go up north. :) I will go ahead and post some pictures of corsages and center pieces that we spent 3 hours making for the wedding.

Here is a daisy corsage that I made which I also got to wear! :)

Box of lovely daisy and orchid corsages

My favorite! <3

More orchid corsages!

I absolutely love tiger lilies….and I could careless about roses…

This is so gorgeous!!! Made by Aunt Wendy.

Have a great weekend!

I left my heart in San Fransisco

I know it has been awhile since I’ve last updated, but not like anyone reads this anyways. I’ve been super busy with work and helping out with Tiff and Jeff’s wedding. It has been a long two weeks of wedding preparation and festivities! In the end, it was all worth the hard work because the wedding was a blast!

We basically stayed in SF for most of the time before heading to Napa Valley. This was the highlight of my summer vacation. :) You have no idea how much I love SF…

Center piece again, but this time enhanced with lame effects from my camera!

Aw, look at that…I’m last once again but I get my own row! :)

A Gift for a Future Bride

Alice — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:21:07 +0000

I know it has been a while since my last update. I have been busy vacationing and make new projects. Sorry for the lack of updates as I am having computer problems. I had to borrow Kevin’s computer to upload my pictures, do some editing and blogging.

The reason why I am doing this project is because Kevin’s cousin is getting married on September 6th. I am making her several items for the wedding. One of them is a garter belt. Since one of the color themes is eggplant purple I decided to go with a light purple satin to contrast with the deep purple. This is what I came up with…

I have horrible photography skills so the pictures don’t look too good. Sorry! :|
