Many things happened recently. My youngest son, a 7 years old boy, has been bullied by his 'big' classmate. I noticed the change of his behavior about being lazy to go to school for the past 1,5 months. There was changing about his health condition too. He got sick easily, pale and pretty quiet at school. It's a strange behavior if we looked how active and easy going person he was before.

I was about thinking to spend my time more for my job. I thought it's time to leave my title as a housewife completely! LOL!! But things came up! Now I realize I'll never be a working woman like I used to do before I had children. I am not sad at all!  Mother is the toughest job to do in the world. Money never buy the happiness of having and caring our own children.

To comfort my little one, me and husband decided to buy a black Labrador Retriever puppy for him. My sons are begging for having a puppy for a long long time ago. I do like cats and dogs! I had them when I was child. But I don't like untidy house or bad smell from animal. My skin is so sensitive for dust and unclean things. My nose is that sensitive so I have to burn Lampe Berger Oil Lamps inside the house everyday. I have to sacrifice!! LOL!!

My little one is very happy caring the puppy. He named the dog as Marley inspired by Marley and Me movie. Little by little he gained all his strength again. He was starting to go to school yesterday. I was a little bit relieved.

 Something beautiful came up today among my tiring week. Searching good employees for my Coffee Shop and  Examination Season on my children's school have drained my energy level to zero! But I gained back my energy today! The new head of Kurumi painted by Rabiruna arrived safely today. I bought this beautiful head from animemadness. As soon as her arrival I named after her Magalie and she will be the twin sister of Madeleine, my other Volks SD10 Kurumi. 

I didn't have a spare time today but I won't wait a single day to capture her beautiful face on my camera. Rabiruna's work looks sparkling on photo ... as usual ... and that makes Volks default make up a little bit dull. Madeleine is happy to see her twin sister but deep in her heart she envies Magalie's beauty. 

Finally I took a step forward to my dream girl, Volks SD 13 Rinon. She's the new standard model of Volks and released on Tenshi no Sumika Fair 2009 (September 21-22, 2009). My friend said Volks was run out of Rinon's stocks on their stores. Need to wait a little more time until she's available again.

I found a Hong Kong based doll store while browsing. Apparently it uses to be a well known doll store on ebay. Then I ordered this beauty with 6 month layaway! 6 month layaway?! Can you believe that?! That's right! The store allows their customer to pay with layaway/installment up to 6 month without hidden charges!! What a great store! Mostly because the owner was very helpful to solve some problems I faced when registering and ordering!
Definitely I won't do 6 months layaway. Can't wait that long! LOL!! I am planning to finish the layaway at the end of November 2009!

Just a little update about my BJD hobby ^-^

Recently I won 3 beautiful dresses from Yahoo Japan Auction! Two of them are CRYSTAL KITTEN's SD & MSD size dresses. The other is La Petite Madeleine [ASH] dress. 
I also bought Kurumi's head painted by Rabiruna from Den of Angel Marketplace. The make up is very unique with a little gothic touch. The new Kurumi will be the twin sister of my Madeleine (Volks Kurumi). But Madeleine is very shy she's still on her default make up while her twin sister is so gorgeous. To shed her enviousness I am planning to send Madeleine to Rabiruna on November 2009. 

Today I took some pictures of Annette (Volks Tae II). She seemed extremely happy having my attention. I gave her new Leeke wig and Crystal Kitten dress. Wow she looks so angelic! I have to admit I didn't play with her as much as I played with Volks Nana SWD and Sophie (Volks Kun). Unfortunately it's rainy season in Indonesia. I cannot take a picture with natural light properly >_< Will do it next time!!

 Mr Postman brought me two packages; one from Japan and other from US! I know those meant Volks SD10 Boy Michele Summer Night's Phantom version and Volks Yosd Neon have arrived!!
The outfit including boots and wig of Michele are gorgeous! But poor my little boy Neon! I don't have any yosd boy clothes at home. The one I ordered from Rosenlied website hasn't come yet T_T

I purchased Volks MSD Concert outfit about a month ago. But today is the first time I tried on my Volks MSD F18. She is the only MSD size doll left in my house. Toppi is going out to Rabiruna and Mihmi is on Docshul.

I was attending An Evening with Il Divo concert at The Ritz Carlton Hotel Ballroom Jakarta yesterday. It's my first time seeing Il Divo's concert although it's their second concert in Indonesia.
Great performance but expensive. I bought the cheapest Silver ticket costed me $200 (T_T)  It's faraway from the stage and my binocular wasn't helping me much LOL. 
Anyway I like their voices! And I couldn't take my eyes from the handsome one, Urs Buhler! (^3^;;)

 Today is the last day of public holiday in Indonesia. Tomorrow I will start again wake up at 5 AM and sleep at 1 AM. During holiday I sleep very very late and wake up at 10 AM!! I don't have to worry about ordinary schedule because my husband is on leave from his work for a week. He also enjoys taking care of our kids ^^

Lately I watched one of my favorite Japanese Comedy Drama HOTARU NO HIKARI again. I laughed so hard watching the himono onna or dried fish woman.



Dried-fish woman [himono onna - 干物女]: Himono onna (”dried-fish woman”) is an expression used in the movie Hotaru No Hikari to describe the main character, a woman in her 20s who has renounced the pursuit of romance. She spends her evenings reading manga and drinking at home alone, and she spends her weekends lazing around in bed. She’s a dried-fish woman.

It's good the holiday is over!  if it is not I could be himono onna too. I prefer laziness than going out while holiday....

 OMG! I cannot stop collecting Yosd! I sold my Kanon but ended buying Neon because I missed Kanon's cute little mouth so much! And It hasn't been 2 weeks after parting with my Kanon!! What a joke! LOL!


Got the news from Aishiteru today. She shipped Volks Michele with 2 beautiful dresses from Crystal Kitten I had won from Yahoo Japan Auction. So excited! I am looking forward till the package arrives. Thanks a lot Aishi! You are the best! 

At the end of the day I was ready hunting some Rosenlied's Tuesday Child limited outfits. I was facing my computer and connecting internet 1 hour before Rosenlied released their limited items. I was succeed buying 3 limited outfits, black and white long boots; 2 mohair wigs. Not bad at all!!  ^^ But another sacrifice for my fashion appetite! 

I rehomed my Volks yosd Kanon for Volks new standard model SDG 13 Rinon! Very sad to be parted with this cute little girl. On the contrary I realized having 5 beautiful yosd girls have costed me a lot! LOL!! I spent about 400$ for Rosenlied limited dresses every month! What a disease!! I cannot stand their beautiful tiny dresses!! By reducing 1 member of my tiny family I am hoping to reduce my expenses too.
BUT AT THE END...I put another WTB thread on DoA looking for a very cute Volks yosd boy, Show / Syo !! Then bought it brand new from ebay today!!!!!! Yikes!!


Volks Yosd Show SD Owners Appreciation Fair in Tokyo Theme Park Hotel 2009

Volks released SD Boy Michele Summer Night's Phantom version, MSD Girl Mihmi, Suzuna and Regenmaru with second makeup version in Home Town Dolpa Nagoya 4 (2009).
The moment I saw Mihmi I knew I have to get her! She's damm cute especially when standing and sitting with her best friend, Toppi! I purchased Mihmi from Docshul and commissioning her for new make up. We'll see the result on October (=^0^=)v


I never thought to collect boy dolls before because I do like fashion. Still female fashion is more exciting than male's. I enjoy every moment from browsing, selecting and buying the dresses from the shops or Yahoo Japan Auction then putting it on my girls.

Never thought I could fall in love with male doll except Volks Williams (of course!!). Everything were changed after seeing Michele in Docshul and Rabiruna's make up versions. I cannot describe how beautiful they are! The next minute was I decided to get him. Yeah! He's unique and I like it that way. I found some male dolls from Korean doll companies are extremely handsome but they are too perfect and I get bored easily (That's my disease! Getting bored so easily T_T)


Once again I am very lucky when a friend from DoA decided to sell Michele. Merci beaucoup!

Feeling lucky having three gorgeous dresses from Narcisse Noir. I won them from Yahoo! Japan. And It's a dream comes true when Akino from Narcisse Noir is starting to accept international order via her Flickr account.

Luna (Volks Luna).


Chantal (Volks SWD Nana). Make up by Docshul

Here is one of my favorite corner of my house. It's my doll's cabinet. 
I used to own almost a hundred dolls of Pullips, Dals and Taeyang. I sold most of them and left just a few in order to give a space when starting to collect BJDs in mid 2008. 



The lower part of cabinet is the place where I keep all the dresses, wigs and accesories.



Volks YoSDs live here! I am still waiting for my YoSD Remi to come!
Room's decoration will be developed in the future. 

 Volks YoSD Kira arrived on May 4, 2009. I love her chubby cheek and she's damm cute ^^. I took some pictures of her with  Shabby Chic Furniture Sets I bought from ebay. She looked very happy!

I have just won a Rosenlied Tuesday's Girl Melody from Ebay! I've been wanting a Rosenlied Tuesday's Child for a long time. Especially Melody or Poppy girl version. The luckiest thing is Melody's make up was done by SDink!

I had to admit I was awkward because that was the first time I tried bidding on Ebay. LOL!

"Happy Easter 2009" for all my dear friends....

A pair of Naohito Fujiki's 2009 concert tickets are on my hands.
I am hoping my husband will be able to accompany me going to Japan. But he's still unsure about going or not because the overloaded works on his office.

I got news from Ooh!Japan (A Japan Shopping Service company in Osaka). The tickets of Naohito Fujiki's concert I ordered before have been on their hands (=^3^=)/

Yeah! I am going to attend Naohito Fujiki's 2009 concert in Welcity Hall Osaka on July 2, 2009.

But I am not quite happy with the seats. It's 3rd floor - K line - No.12 & 13. I have to bring my binocular to see Nao clearly. The worst is I have minus eyes. (T_T)

I might search for better seats in Yahoo! Auction or buy from others at the venue just before the show (mostly with higher price). I just don't care about the price LOL
