Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

But wait, there's more!

IG Photodump: MM Christmas Party + Random Elie Pics

I got an android phone as a gift last November, thanks to my BF! <3, and one of the first things I did was to get Instagram. I love how easy it is to share photos with it! My IG username is @madznievera. Follow me!

And now that I have an app that enables me to do quick photo uploads, I'll be doing a semi-regular Instagram photodump here. Please excuse the current layout, I haven't configured my IG with my Flickr yet so I have to use IG's embed code for now.


Manika Manila Monito Manika 2013

Manika Manila recently held our Monito Manika Christmas Party at Casa Patdes. It was Elie's first proper doll meet, so she got very excited to meet other kids.

Fun Fact: This photo is their very first family photo!

Éphémère Behind-The-Scenes

Aside from Axis and Kamael, a few more dolls attended our mini-meet for the Éphémère photoshoot. 

Alice and Mariposa was also there! <3 Plus one special guest below~

Éphémère

New photostory, aww yis!

This time, we have a guest from another household. You have seen him before on Axis' birthday post. Say hi to Kamael! 

Today's photostory is a bit short. I was supposed to take more shots for a few more dialogues, but it suddenly rained! I had to settle for a shorter version of the story.

Here's the legend for the dialogue:

On with the story!

Happy Birthday Alice!

On Alice's birthday, she went with me to the office to hang out. She had fun chilling on my work station while reading all the reports I'm working on.

For the celebration part of her day, we opted to have a quiet evening at home with a few friends.

Guess who forgot to buy a candle?

Strong Shoulders

While everyone was away for the Manika Manila Pool Party, I had stay at home and work on some stuff. OTL Out of boredom, Axis decided to test the limits of his resin body and try a bit of lifting.

Achieve!!

Please excuse our messy place (I was working and fiddling with dolls at the same time XD).

A Little Announcement

Hello everyone! Sorry for the inactivity in this blog. This post will pretty much explain my absence, so read up! XD

Rest When You're Tired

Into the Woods

First off, I would like to congratulate the Manika Manila Mods for launching our very own Manika Manila Forums! Good job guys! If you're from the Philippines and you're interested in knowing more about the hobby, please go ahead and register. We'd love to have you there. :)

Its been a while since I last did a look book post. My first two looks were mostly handmade outfits. But this time, majority of their clothes are bought from various stores. Yay!

More details after the cut!

Meet Ares

Someone here has been a good boy.

A Day-Out with Friends

Last week, I met up with some of my close friends for a random day-out with our dolls. It feels like it's been a while since I brought out my resin kids.

We went to Cafe Mary Grace at Greenbelt 2.

Alice was seriously thinking about the chocolate cake on display. Must. Resist. Temptation.

Story Night Fridays

For Alice and Axis, Friday nights are usually spent in a quiet corner of the house, with a lot of stories about far away kingdoms and fantasy worlds. The stories would go on until one of them falls asleep. :')

This is my entry for Manika Manila Themes: Friday Night. :)

Happy Birthday Axis!

I cant believe he's been with me for a year now.

Axis' birthday is February 29, but since that date only comes once every four years, we opted to celebrate last March 1 (because he's a Mars and Mars is the planet for the month of March. What.). I brought him to work so we can have a mini celebration afterwards.

Of course, this cheese-loving birthday boy has to have a cheesecake on his special day.

It doesn't have to be dark for the nightmares to come

The Christmas Gift

Story under the cut! <3

Merry Christmas!

We'd like to greet everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! <3 Cheers!

Carry Me?

I never thought they'd be able to do this. Ever.

Axis: Hold on tight.

The Manika Manila Tiangge 2012

* Tiangge - a bazaar or a flea market

...added the year on the title because we will definitely have another one next year! Woohoo!

 The sales this year was simply awesome! As in AWESOME BALLS I'M ALREADY SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT SALES MEET!!! XD We had over a hundred participants from all over the place. Aside from the active Manika Manila members, there were a LOT of unfamiliar faces. Hello random BJD owners popping up from nowhere!

It was my first time to join a sales meet and my first time to pre-make clothes for sale. As I mentioned in my last post, I made skirts, dresses, accessories, and crocheted hats in various sizes. It took me countless hours to finish a decent number of pieces. I was even sewing 'till 4 in the morning on the same day due to cramming and too much excitement! LOL. I think I ended up with, er, too much things to bring to the venue that is almost two hours away from home.

Two large carriers with one doll each plus most of my merchandise, a small leatherette bag for personal items, a shopping bag for more merchandise plus booth decorations, and a plastic bag for decorations. Yep, I somehow managed to bring them all. And I don't have a car. OTL

Gray Areas

Went out with some awesome people yesterday. <3 We went to Little Tokyo for some Japanese food. I've always seen people having shoots there, so I thought it'll be the perfect opportunity to make new clothes and do a little shoot with Alice and Axis.
