Lately, I've been feeling a little lonely. Actually, let me rephrase that. I've been feeling like I haven't belonged in my group of friends lately.
It made me realize that I should cherish and trust my friends more. I should trust that they want me around. I should trust that they're not going to hurt me. I don't want to be hurt like that again, but... I should be a little bit more open with my friends. I hope they can forgive me for the distrust I carry. It's not because I don't want them around or I'm doing this for fun and games. But... just getting this package reminds me that there are people who do value me as a person, and as a friend. I only wish I could show my appreciation more.

Yes, this is belated because, as usual, I had to work through the holiday... And then as soon I was done, Billy took me over to a friend's house and eat and burn the paper, all before midnight!

But I have some good tidings to bring. ^^ First thing is first - BILLY HAS A JOB! Yay! It's a really good job so the pressure is off of me. Of course, I can't just buy everything I want (not yet anyway) but this will give me some time to save up some money for Anime Expo! ^^ Yay~! Finally~!

Second thing on my mind is that - my weight loss seems to be imminent because, for literally 4 to 5 days, Billy and I have portioned our meals and we had already lost a few pounds! It's amazing how much we can do... Soon we're slowly starting to start exercising more but it's a little hard since we're doing it at home. ^^ I have a terrible habit of being a little more lazy when I work out at home... But I believe in myself! I know I can do it!

And finally thirdly, there's two more posts I'm going to make! I have received packages from Diana and Crees! How generous of them! <3 So I just want to apologize in advance for all the posts I'm about to make. @_@

Because I want to get from smallest to largest (I took a lot of pictures for these hauls, I was too excited!), I'm going to start on Crees's package first! :3

Very recently, Billy and I had finally bought ourselves a digital scale. And, do you want to know how much I weigh now?

200lbs or 92kg.

Of course, I don't look like I'm so in maybe some of the pictures you've seen of me - but I'll explain to you where all that extra fat went. It went to my butt. It all literally went to my butt. Billy had been commenting to me that my butt had been getting bigger - however, I had thought it was only him trying to tease me or goad me on.

Now I know that it really isn't that case. Instead, since Billy is 200lbs as well, we're both going to lose this extra weight and firm up the booty! Most people are on the hunt for the booty - we have too much of it!

Because of that, I really don't want to schedule any pictures that shows my full body or anything. My goal is to surprise everyone with how I look now! I mean, yeah, I'm going to post a before and after picture but the first thing I need to do is to join a gym.

Billy actually enjoys working out but I promised him that I won't complain anymore about being hungry and  being sore (besides my legs and feet from work but that's a different story).

I feel ashamed of myself for letting my weight get to where it is but I honestly feel like I lost some... but now I realize it's just the front part. In order to make sure I feel entirely confident, I'm going to get to a proper size to where I'll flaunt myself more and actually want to show pictures of myself. I have been trying to lose weight for four years already and not once had I hit my weight and size goal.

This year is my year.

If you've read about me in the "about" section, you'll know that I'm a Virgo. ^^ But what you probably didn't know is that I'm a proud Virgo! I don't have anything that has the Virgo astrological sign on it because, honestly, a lot of them are extremely tacky, in my opinion.

Or if it's something I'm interested in, it's always expensive!! However, I was just browsing random kawaii stores until I saw this cute and adorable charm! It's a Rilakkuma zodiac set and they had the Virgo one for cheap! ^^

Aw man, though, I had to buy it! I caved and got it right away but I had purchased them from Modes4U, an official San-X retailer. ^^ I'm not going to expect them to be here right away, as I just ordered and purchased it. :3 That's okay... I shall try to be patient!

But anyway, I just think this charm shows off both my pride as a Virgo and show off who I really am - a girly Virgo who's just obsessed with Rilakkuma!! ^^

Today, I hung out with some friends for a brunch at a sushi place. :D No pictures because I forgot to take some but we hung out for a couple hours until our friend's son started to get agitated cause it was past his nap time. ^^ Plus, Tiffany had work later that afternoon!

At least we had a memorable photo to take with us, heh. ^^ I hope we can get together again really soon!

After that, Billy and I went to Michael's Arts & Crafts store because, lately, I've really been wanting to create some crafts lately!

After that, we ate! ^^ And then we headed home. I didn't really like my outfit today to really post a breakdown of it (plus, I'm really bloated... I'm always bloated T_T Why am I always bloated!?). It was a fun day for us and I'm really glad that I got a chance to fully enjoy it with some friends, Billy, and, of course, food! ^^

On Billy's insistence, I stayed home from work today. I'm not feeling well at all because of sinus infection. T_T Even though I live in Arizona, the weather can drastically change... Not to mention, there's a lot of dry air as well. Because of these circumstances, I'm feeling really sick.

It really sucks because I can't eat certain foods even though I really really want to eat some... Billy has been taking care of me and even gave me some medication. ^^ So, all is not lost! In the meantime, I'm trying to make myself comfortable, since finally, Billy had purchased a humidifier so we both can breathe easier at night! ^^

Though, I'm not going to lie - I'm really frustrated, and sad, and mad at myself for getting sick. Usually I would get sick around Christmas, but I didn't. And yet now? I'm frustrated and mad at myself because I had to call out of work today but it couldn't be helped. I need to get some rest. It was really bad yesterday! Of course, I'll work harder tomorrow to show my bosses that I'm not going to make a habit out of it! I can't afford to!

But... Billy insisted. He told me he wanted me to rest today because all I'm going to do is make it worse. So I did. I'm staying.


But! I need to save my money for important things right now so I can't be shopping, no matter how much I whine or beg or cry. I have to be good!

Though, I can't help but wonder if buying a cosplay outfit from Taobao is a good idea. Probably not because if I put down a size... what if it's too big or too small on me? Oh, the dilemma! D: Same thing with clothes. Well, I guess this is why I always try to get the largest size...


But anyway. Also because I'm sick, I decided to finally sign up for a lookbook and I have a Facebook page finally. ^^ It's mostly cosplay for right now, but if I want to be even more confident with my looks this year, I need to put in some effort.

I need to showcase my look so I can see how much I've changed throughout the year. ^^ I just really want to love myself even more by doing fashions I would never have dreamed of doing last year - but accomplishing my goals this year!

But for now, you can see how empty my page and profile are on the side. ^^ I should think about changing my blog's layout for the new year, huh?

So I'm sure everyone has heard of the show "My Strange Addiction". It's a show on the American cable channel called TLC (short for, "The Learning Channel") where they showcase people with strange addictions that most people wouldn't even consider doing. This episode apparently aired on New Year's Day and it was an hour long special.

The special features the Living Ken Doll, Justin of Chicago, the famous or infamous Venus Angelic, and this girl named Emily or, known throughout the community as, Luna.

Now, I can understand why they would feature someone like Justin because, well, he's the Living Ken Doll!

From the Daily Mail

Another thing I can sort of understand adding is Venus Angelic. While Venus herself doesn't seem to be getting any work done on herself to get the living doll status - she does strive to be a living doll, though she uses J-Fashion and makeup as well as being cute as her means.

Ugh. When I was working extra hard the past two weeks, I've realized something: I cannot eat anything that requires a spoon and/or a fork. Why? Because Billy and I only have a couple at home and there's no utensils at work that I can use. I've been trying to find time in between days at work (and I'd even search during my lunch times/breaks) to search for a fork & spoon set that I could use whenever I'm at lunch or whatever.

There had only been a total number of one time I didn't have a spoon/fork with me (in which case, Billy had forgotten to give it to me) so I couldn't eat for that break time. It sucked because I was in a pretty sad mood on that day too... I'm very harsh towards myself so if I fail to do a certain task that's important, I tend to beat myself up over it. :\ It's something that I really need to stop doing!

Anyway, so I started my search and even asked my Twitter friends. Diana actually gave me this link on Ali Express and truth to be told there really wasn't anything that I wanted. I wanted a spoon & fork set, sure, of course, but I also really want a cute case where it won't get dirty. D: I'm paranoid enough - I don't want to make it worse for me!

Well, maybe this but I'd probably use this in a giveaway.

So it was back to square one. I searched on eBay but the ones that came up that I wanted (Rilakkuma because, of course, I'd want that) were $50-$60. o_o Like, why? Why??

Finally, 2013 is gone and we can start anew with 2014! If you haven't already, here are my New Year's resolutions! Anyway, I wasn't able to update on New Year's Day to give a proper welcome into the new year...

But the reason why that's so? I've been working really hard these past two weeks! One of my coworkers had decided to take a break and spend time with some family (and take some time for himself) - and he specifically wanted me to take over those hours because I had started working there in November.

Needless to say, I am extremely tired but I'm also extremely grateful! All that hard work will not be for nothing, you know!

So yeah. Finally, I have some extra time right now to make a blog post and get started on my resolution to try and post on this blog more often. Of course, when I say post more often, I also meant my anime blog and my writing blog as well! I might just end up making everything into one blog though... Or maybe just two... I don't know... I've been up since 6am so I'm probably sounding really weird right now, haha.

Anyway... work was fine but my feet are really sore right now. Thankfully I have a day off tomorrow so I can just rest while Billy takes care of me, hehe.

One of Billy's Christmas presents came here today when I checked the mail - it's the first BEAST mini-album (or B2ST as they were known in the beginning)! I've always really liked their early stuff, so this was a real surprise! Even more so, since Billy doesn't understand why I love KPOP so much.


Though, when I went through the package, I didn't expect it to have all this! It came in a box where I can lift it open and inside is the photobook and the CD. Here's what it looks like with the photobook!

I'm really thankful to get something like this! Maybe one of these days, I'll make a page where it'll show all the Asian CDs I have... And believe me when I say I have quite a collection. ^^ I really hope I get to show all of you! I need to update it actually since Billy also got me Trap by Henry Lau and Mirotic by DBSK!

I already have TRI-Angle, Rising Sun, O, and now, finally, their last Korean album. I saw them in concert live back in 2008 when they went to the Hollywood Bowl. Their breakup affected me so much more than I anticipated... But enough about that.

I actually saw Beast live when they went to Hollywood Bowl in 2010! So I got their second mini-album, SHOCK!, there when I was in LA! ^^ So I guess you can say my collection for Beast is almost completed, right?

Anyway, finally, the coupon. The website, Kawaii Case, sent me an email regarding their first coupon for the new year! You would get 15% off of your order and free shipping! Just use the code happynewyear2014!!

I hope everyone is well! ^^

First of all: I owe everyone who still follows this blog a huge apology. Work at Sanrio (and another store the boss owned) wasn't the best at all. In fact, I have actually gotten fired from it. Here's my Tumblr post on why and what happened.

Thankfully, Billy was very understanding because he didn't like how they treated me along with everything else that was going on in that post.

It took a while but I managed to find another job. Billy and I dressed up for Halloween as each other and then we went out to have a nice dinner! Anyway, the holidays for us have been nice as well. ^^ Billy got me an Infinite backpack, Hello Kitty 3D phone cover for my phone, some KPOP CDs and plenty of stocking stuffers!

Needless to say, this year has a lot of milestones. I've finished college. Billy came back down here and we're in our own apartment. I've gained a job and lost one but gained another - another that's so much better. I've gained some friends back but I've also lost some as well. I tasted some new foods and I discovered some new places. I got some new plushies as well as gotten new hauls. All in all, it was a good and productive year for me.

So what's in store for me next year?

• Healthier Diets & Weight Loss I know everyone says this every New Year's but I feel like I could make it. I know I can do it! I know it! The place I work at now actually has fresh foods and organic foods that I can snack on and buy groceries there. Not only that, I've been doing some extra exercise lately as well. My legs are already getting smaller but stronger. Let's hope this continues.
• Becoming More Confident This is something I'm always working on and the next year, I'm planning to do things that I definitely wouldn't do otherwise. I feel that I could always feel better about myself and there's nothing wrong with that right?
• Trying New Fashions/Styles Billy doesn't really like some of the fashion I'm interested in but fashion is always evolving and there's always something new to try. I don't have any idea of what fashions I want to try next year but I know it's going to happen. One thing is for sure, though, I know my fashion is definitely going to evolve.
• Cosplaying I really want to cosplay especially for Anime Expo. Billy and I are planning to go to Anime Expo so as such I'm planning to cosplay. You can find out more on my anime blog on the details about that since I think I'm going to try to make this blog more personal and more about my weight loss goals more than anything.
• Post On This Blog More Often! Well, that much was obvious but I'm going try so much harder to post more often. Hopefully, I can do it. I want to see if I could even start a giveaway. Either way, I miss the blogging community and I miss connecting with my readers and other bloggers.

So, once again, I'm sorry for the lack of updates. T___T I've been really busy with work! I've been working everyday since Friday and putting in extra hours so I haven't had time to update or really do anything that warranted an update. ;;

But, like the title says, I've been a naughty girl! Ever since I was little, my family has a rule for me: Don't get anything for the month of August because my birthday is coming up! And eve after I left my mother's house, I've kept up this rule in case my loved ones wanted to get me something. ^^ I wanted to give them enough time to do it so I can surprised with what they've given me.

And so, I broke that rule.

Today, at work, we were checking in shipments for the new Hello Kitty line (that you can probably find at Sanrio) until I saw one of the plushies that came with it. Instantly, I fell in love with her because she's just so cute. ;~; I couldn't resist for too long, especially since there were only 6 of them available.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I caved and bought her!

Finally, after two weeks, I am moved in to my new apartment with Billy! Right now, I'm trying to find a job to help with the bills and try to save extra income. In the meantime, however, I'm going to do more outfits of the day since I have a fully body mirror now!

Also, Billy and I have been slacking badly on our diet because we've been stressed out about everything - apartment, car, location, jobs... you name it, we were worrying about it! Thankfully, most of everything seems to be getting better. Let's see what the upcoming days will come!

In any case, I've updated the layout - took out some old giveaways, added a new link, and planning something pretty new in the next few days or so.

Kitsune and I have been planning something in the past few days and I think we'll both announce it when we're ready! Just know that I have not abandoned Rainbow Chiffon! Instead, I plan on expanding it more and hopefully with more content than before! Okay, maybe not a lot but expect more updates really soon!

Since Billy arrived here a couple days ago, we've been really busy spending time with one another after not seeing each other for 6 months and, not only that, trying to get a car and trying to get settled all at the same time. So because of that, I don't have much time to really update Rainbow Chiffon daily like I usually would.

I'm just going to take a mini-hiatus until things are settled. You can reach me via email, LINE app, or Kakao Talk (it's also shoujobubbles but please tell me where you got my information from and who you are)! Please look forward towards the following:

Sponsored review from Miako (!!!)

More product reviews

More quick look-through reviews

YELP reviews/events

More outfits of the day

... and so much more! Please look forward to it!

I have exciting news! Billy is arriving here on Monday! I'm really excited! I haven't seen him for 6 months and that was when I was in New Jersey to visit him for Christmas... This isn't just a vacation or anything - he's here as long as we decide to stay here in Arizona. I'm just really excited...I had to get my hair done because we're planning on moving for the next couple or weeks but we gotta figure out some things first.

So I'm sure you've noticed that I've changed the layout yet again! I'm sorry! But the Disqus was becoming such a problem that I felt like I had to. I managed to get this blog skin thanks to this kind person! As you can tell, there's still a lot of things I need to edit but I want to at least get this post out of the way first.

Hopefully, it'll be easier now to comment!

Anyway, my very good friend Flora is selling some of her Lolita items because financial and other personal reasons. You can view the items here! If you want to know what her policies are, I've copied and pasted it here for your convenience:

I actually got word from Billy that he's officially moving back to Arizona and we're going to live together! I'm really excited for it because it's something we've been wanting to do for a really long time!

So, in order to want to get our summer on the right track, I went to Yelp and started looking for events around the area we're wanting to live by. On top of that, we'll have a car - which will make our lives so much easier than before...

Anyway, the event states:

Biltmore Fashion Park will once again host Dining After Dark from June 1 through August 31, 8 p.m. to close. This program invites guests to return to the shopping center after the sun goes down to take advantage of enticing dining deals from participating restaurants. Each restaurant has a pre-fix menu that includes an appetizer, two entrees, two alcoholic beverages and a dessert, for either $50 or $35.

And the restaurants participating would be: California Pizza Kitchen, The Capital Grille, The Cheesecake Factory, Christopher's & Crush Lounge, Julia Baker, and Ling & Louie's Kitchen.

I think the one Billy and I are going to The Cheesecake Factory! Thankfully, it says here the even is going from June 1st (today) till August 31st. I think that's way more than enough time for us to go! I really can't wait! We'll probably end up going after we get settled so expect pictures when we do go!
