Just realised how much I need to push for my major project!! And this affects the way I've been "played" with momoko until now!!

Time to move on! Goodbye flickr for now! I will be back and hopefully everything will be different!

----
My husband said this is sound drastic to put all the photos to privacy. Uhmmm...It's the way I'm over extreme again I guess.

But really I need discipline myself. Otherwise, the whole major project will happened on flickr only and I'm not actually do anything for uni.

Kind of a self punishment so that I could work harder and going back to Flickr soon. ---> Dealing with procrastination in the project.

2009.08.30 Envy
My husband used to be a doll collector before. He collected mostly antique doll and baby doll.
Then he stopped collecting for nearly 5 years now. He never imagined when we got married that I become a doll collector. Life is strange, things work out in a very funny way. Sometime, we can see that it's like a pattern in life. Uhm...Anyway, talking about jealousy.

My husband told me "Doll people is very nice. They're very helpful to you. But as soon as your collection is better than them, they hate you forever"! hehehe So funny! As soon as he said that, I immediately reflect on myself. Since we all go through the "jealousy" period in our life, we all know how it feel and how to make other feel the pain :D Yes, I do feel irritated when someone have better collection than mine. But that doesn't mean I hate them :D hehe I'm trying! No, not really, I don't really feel that way so much anymore. It just give me a stronger sense of "making statement". Like ... "We'll see who loves momoko more"...kind of feeling! :D Awww, I'm so childish! hehe But I love the way I am :D

Awww, how I love talking those "sensitive" topic so much!!! Just try to be provokative! :D It's fun!! Sometime you need to parody yourself in order to laugh and move on.

By the way, I love to know how I feel. I know the pain, the ugliness of jealousy and envy over someone else momoko. But trust me, those feeling seems so positive to me. Driven!! :D

It's a creative process more than a competition to me.

"Earthly desire is enlightenment!"

Just went to a lecture about the history of fashion and consumerism. It was so fascinated! It remind me not to look at the world as black and white, good and evil. Life is not that simple as we want it to be! We tend to see thing in that way and it really stop us to see a bigger picture.

Uhm....Envy, jealousy :D Life is interesting!!!


2009.08.29 Momoko Fanatic
My husband told me the word "Fan" is a short version of Fanatic! :D It's great to know!! :D

Somehow I feel it kind of similar like the word "Otaku". I know "Otaku" has a very negative connotation in Japan. But somehow, western fan give and mis-use it and it become nicer connotation among fan here in the West. It's passionate fan!

I asked my husband if I'm momoko fanatic :D hehe Do I have to ask ? :D

I realised that this year, I used up more than 25GB on my laptop just for momoko photos.
I also collect all of momoko photos by fan around the world. So just want to let you know if you don't want your momoko photos in my computer, just don't post them online ever again hehehhe :D

Nah! I'm not that bad :D I just save all the one that I love. There are so many crappy momoko photos around though. But crap to me may be good for someone else :D

I'm a little bit happier lately, a little bit less stress. I now started to enjoy my major project.
Last chance to do something fun while I'm still at uni. Uhmm....I should enjoy it!

2009.08.22 DIY kind of crap!
I wonder when did this whole thing of DIY happened ? From typography, design, to craft, doll....
It's just there are so many junks out there in the internet. It's like a big rubbish bin of all kind of trash. Gosh, I don't want to look down on anyone but there are so many "stuff" being made for the sake of making it. Absolutely rubbish! It's visually stupid. No taste, no ideas of what's the purpose of making it.
Just kill me! I rather blind than seeing those digusting stuff like that!
Sure you can develop your visual and aesthetic over time and by doing it again and again, the thing is....for now, I just can't stand it.
Instant vomit!

Dealing with depression at the moment since the major project is a big monster that sucking my energy and joy. I should be enjoying the process but for now what I need is a good rest.
No more internet, flickr and so on.

Momoko...I wonder if I own her or she OWNS me!!!
2009.08.16 How do we live ?
Gosh, the more I doing my major project, the more deep issue I'm stepping in.

Fashion -> Planned-obsolescence -> Consumerism -> Capitalism -> Sustainable -> on and on

Do we live to create or to destroy ? or something else ?

How do I live my life ?

I love Vivienne Westwood for the person she is. Caring for the world that she lives in.

My mentor, Greg used to said this "We change from the within". And yes, we can only change from living with it, understand it, from the within, not without. How do I determined what I'm going to create for this beautiful earth I'm living in ? How can I use the most out of this little time I have in this life ?

Vivienne said " Go deep!", "Understand the world you live in". And yet, I'm trying and confusing at the same time.

Still researching and framing my brief for the major project. I think academic study is great. It does help you become a better person. Still, you need to decide what kind of person you want to become but study does help.

Trying and learning!!

Like all youth, I want to change the world. Though, I do know that here, right now is the place to be!
2009.08.09 Got Ya!!!
I promised to myself that I will get Ichigo Daifuku BY ANY CHANCE!!! YAY!! I won her today on Yahoo Japan Auction!!! Yay!! I've been camping on YJA since forever waiting for her to apprear!!!

So happy. I can't believe it !! Everything happened so fast that I couldn't believe it!! Whatever, I got her now!!! YEAHHHHHHHH :D hehehe So so happy!!! Ichigo chan!!!
It's so funny that the person who sell Ichigo chan is the same one I bought my Dorothy before. Ya~~~ Ichigo chan! Ichigo chan!!!

I'm not super crazy about CCS girls. The one that I really love is older Petworks (2001-2004). But since the series of Wonderful Wizard of Oz, I started to like CCS a lot more. It's Cowardly Lion's fault!! I blame her for being so gorgeous and European-like. Ahhh >_< Before that, I would never spend money on CCS dolls :( But I'm glad that Petworks doing great with their CCS brand at the moment. I love Kuro Hibari, and now Ichigo chan!!! Ahhhh, SO HAPPY!!!

She's my 71st girl! GOSH!! I thought I would stop at 70th.

By the way, I won't buy Puppy Garden anymore! No more money to buy them unless there is a miracle appear :D

The reason why I don't have any money left because I just bought so many stuff, clothes for momoko. How crazy!!

But I'm happy! I bought another Kogumaza outfit last week. Just can't help myself. The most expensive outfit ever I bought for momoko!!! But who care! It's Kogumaza, my favourite artist at the moment!!

This is my list of stuffs that I'm desperately waiting for:
1. Kogumaza outfit (So expensive :( huhu I could buy a new momoko with what I paid for this)
2. Rainbow clothes dress from Italian designer (hehe sound so cool). I was just asking a talented lady to do a commission for me making 7 rainbow colours knit wear for momoko. I'm excited about that so much.
3. Leo's Tweedly (Damn T_T This is for Blythe)
4. Leo's smock outfit (and this for Blythe too >_< )
5. Leo's creamy dress for momoko.
6. Back to Basic (took forever to come!!)
7. Allnurds outfit (Never bought anything from this artist before)
8. Hardpain accessory (YAY!! I love this artist for a long time)
9. Momokomono shoes
10. Dolly Dolly 20.

Uni: Finally I decided what to do for my major project. Momoko! Is it obvious ? I try my best running away from her but I gave up!! Ok, at least it's going to be about HER!!! The little miss that rule my world!!

Did I said this before ? Life is beautiful!! :D
2009.08.06 I have a dream
I've been collecting momoko nearly 2 years now. I met so many lovely and wonderful dolly friend online. I really wish that one day, I could meet them in person. I will hug them, hold hand, cuddle them in my arms!!! Awww, that would be so wonderful!!!

Let me tell you a list of these wonderful people that always in my heart!!!
Jennie (who is disappeared with no trace but I'm sure she's still around somewhere), Mikan, Bo Anders, Melissa, Dana, Elfie, Alfie, George, Eric, Suza, Zac, Ginie, Rhubs, Connie, Locksley (who lead me to love Licca chan so much), then Betty (who started my love for momoko from looking at her website), Rob, JACKIE (I have no idea why I feel very affectionate toward her)!! Yes, Jackie aka Candijacks :D, Anna. Uhm...this is the list of my favourite people!! :D

I also want to meet Hiroko san (both of them), Mika (Korisu Factory), Manabe san of course!! Then Holy chan, Yuupin san, Emily, doll so i san (don't know her name yet), R san, Leo.

It's good to dream about it!!! I wish I won the lottery. I would buy a ticket and go visit each of them the next day :D Am I too crazy ?? There are no such thing as online friend and real life friend. Life is one! In my life, I knew them, grew my love and best wishes toward these people. I don't think it's anything wrong to dream about meeting them.

Yaaaaa, I wish I could meet at least any of them one day!! That would be so great!!

Love you all!!
