Birthday of Ayanami 2014(ish)

It's time for Ayanami Rei's birthday again! March 30th is not only Ayanami Rei's birthday, but also her seiyuu's, Hayashibara Megumi! AND on top of that, it's also Kawasumi Ayako's birthday! Such a special day! :D Two of my favourite seiyuus' birthdays in one day.

Sadly, it's been a very depressing and hectic week for me, so I didn't have time to take any new photos of Rei. Good thing is I finally posted my photos from last year's Pacific Northwest Ball-Jointed Doll Expo (or PNWBJD Expo for short, which is still not that short).

Obligatory Once-in-a-Month-Update Post

The end of August marked the release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. And it was also the end of my social life for a few weeks. Rarely have I been caught up in an MMORPG since World of Warcraft that took me away for so long. I could not catch up to the anime summer season...

Christmas Doll Meet 2012

Better late than never... Here is the Christmas Doll Meet from December 15, 2012. I was under a lot of anxiety before and a little after this meet, so I didn't post this until now. I'm much better now, so I thought I should post before the year ends and the New Year's begin ^^;

I won't be writing much between photos and let you just enjoy them. I also posted these photos and more on my flickr.

Halloween Doll Meet 2012

Halloween is upon us! At least the doll meet was XD It's becoming an annual Halloween meet now where a lot of Vancouverites gather and get our dolls to dress up! There are over 50 photos, so I'm going to stay mostly quiet and just post them ^^;

Dolls and Beaches

It suddenly became very sunny in Vancouver in the beginning of May, so the group decided to have a meet on the beach on May 12th. Thankfully Flamebyrd brought an umbrella because dolls don't like the sun much ^^;

Spring Doll Meet 2012

Right after the second day of Fan Expo I made my way to the spring doll meet that already started, though there were still a few people that arrived later than me ^^; I brought along MEIKO, Helen and my newly purchased alpaca plush from Fan Expo. Quite a popular animal during the meet XD

St. Patty's and Patty's Meet

It's two. Two. TWO MEETS IN ONE! Yes, we had two doll meets within days of each other. Well to be fair they were two small meets so they were much more manageable :) The first one occurred on St. Patrick's Day on Saturday. We expected almost 20 people... Then realized that most of the attendees on the Facebook page were dolls ^^;;; Anyhoo! We still had lots of fun!

Early March Doll Meet

Okay, so one more doll meet photos I'll post before I get around to my figma comic! This one happened just a few hours ago before I posted it! Which is a rare occasion, since I usually wait til weeks before I post them recently XD

2012 Backlog: January Doll Meet

Not even the end of the year and I'm already backlogged... Laziness and sickness got the best of me... Anyway, there were 2 meets in January. The first one took place on January 14th in Richmond.

2011 Backlog Part 3: Mostly Dolls

And finally... The last part of my backlog. It ranged from mid-September to early December. Many events that I failed to post right after they happened, but usually it's because I go home late, tired and then the next day my work week starts again... ANYHOO... Now that I have a bit of time, here are the last of my 2011 backlog!

2011 Backlog Part 1: Dolls and Food

Happy New Year! ...Oh, it's way past that... Err... Happy Lunar New Year? Also a week late... Sigh... It's been so long since I posted anything here. I blame Star Wars: The Old Republic. So my first post of the year is backlog from last year, lol. I've been meaning to post these for a long time, but when you work night shift, you tend to get lazy on some days. I'll try to post as much as possible in between playing SWTOR and other social things ^^; Funny enough when I quit WoW I started blogging... So I sense a trend here XD

Anyway... These photos went all the way back to mid-September until mid-October 2011... Yes, that means I have a lot more after this ^^;;;;; Oh and also a lot of food pictures too for some reason XD

Christmas Doll Meet 2011

Merry Christmas everyone! I thought it would be perfect day for me to post the photos from the Christmas doll meet for this day... Plus I've been lazy and busy playing SW:TOR >.> Compared to last year's Christmas meet, there were a lot more people this year! So we had a much bigger room and a lot more dolls too! I wasn't going to post all the photos here this time to save some time, but I ended up with a lot anyway ^^;;

The rest of the photos have been uploaded to a separate album.

Early Halloween Doll Meet

On October 16th, I went to an early Halloween BJD Meet, which is on my working day... But using creative timing, I was able to attend with no problem. The aim was to get our dolls in costume, but I didn't really have one for Helen... So I got her swimsuit and apron for sukumizugi meido ^^; Well it works for some cultural festival, right?? There are so many dolls and photos that this is probably the only paragraph of text I'll have and I'll mostly say nothing else, lol. Lots of new dolls and people too! Unfortunately I didn't have much time to get to know everyone... Let's get to it! There are over 70 photos altogether!

Aoi & Mari's BirthDDay

After almost a month of no posts, I've finally getting around to this post about a doll meet that happened almost a month ago... My last blog post was my blogday post, which happened to be when this meet occurred ^^; ANYHOO... The owner of Aoi and Mari Dollfie Dream, Galamirix, acquired the sisters on September 23, 2010 in Japan. Now that number has multiplied and one of them, Sakuya, even greeted us at the door when we came in...

Burnaby and Deer Lake Park Meet

Seems like all my posts recently has been nothing but doll meets ^^;; Oh well, it's better than to just forget what happened, yes? There are still a few things I haven't posted yet and haven't found the time to edit and post yet! Oh well... Anyhoo, this meet happened last week on the 9th and 10th of September. Here's Mugi greeting you with a negi-shaped grass at a park beside the Burnaby Public Library near Metrotown.

Lynn Canyon Park Doll Adventure

There have been so many events and outing lately that I haven't got a chance to post them all immediately. Like this meet at Lynn Canyon Park happened two weeks ago ^^;;; I thought about just leaving it, but there would be very nice photos I won't be posting... So here are the late photos... Better late than never.

BlueStarBaby's Birthday Meet

I love alliteration! Indeed, this was BlueStarBaby having a meet to celebrate her birthday. Unfortunately I couldn't stay too long and just dropped by with snacks, a gift and a new Azone Pureneemo debut. Did you guess who my newest Azone girl was from my last post? There are a lot more Azones coming out too now. Most of them were Maruneko, but there was also an Azone/Volks hybrid on the far right of the picture, owned by the birthday girl ^^

ReaperofLeaves Birthday Sleepover

This past Friday was reaperofleaves' birthday and she held a sleepover party at her place. It was a bit far from where I was, so I guess it made sense to have a sleepover ^^ It took about 30-40 minutes drive without any stopovers or if the GPS doesn't lose its battery power... We came 3 hours late from the appointed time but were still the first ones to arrive XD I drove Galamirix and MysticaGrey along.

Cos & Effect 2011

What do you expect when you see the event called "Cos & Effect"? I was only expecting a one-day cosplay only event. Apparently I was mistaken. It was almost like a full convention minus the guests. A mini-con if you prefer. I thought it'd be a small event so I wasn't expecting a lot of cosplays, but I was wrong again! There were lots and lots of cosplays, some that I couldn't immortalize in a photo ^^; There were also some panels and vendors and artist alley! And it was a two-day event. Since I underestimated it I didn't take a day off for Sunday from work to go there. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted on the one day that I did go... I did regret missing that Swimsuit Competition panel -_- Hoping to find videos or photos of that event soon ^_^

Oh and I also wore the Kyuubey shirt from J-List... I didn't think it would get that much attention ^^; And I thought there would be other people who'd wear that shirt XD

Doll Summer Pool Party!

With me by myself in the house for almost a month, I thought it was a good idea to have some fun at home, so why not have a piece of summer doll meat, eh? Err... Well meetup with everyone and their dolls, that is. What I didn't expect was 20+ people coming over ^^;;; I was only thinking that maybe only 10-15 people, lol. Clearly I underestimated an Actual Vancouver Doll Meet! Ah also with this meet I've prepared a kiddie pool I bought real cheap from Toys R Us. We had quite some fun with it too ^^

This meet took place on August 6th and there are a TON of photos! Over 70 photos in total... So um, I'll stop typing now except for little tidbits here and there...
