Manna And Her Blushing

Sooo, my Unoa Lusis, named Manna, arrived. Way ahead of schedule, but I got everything pretty much ready for her. Except the face-up slot, so she’ll be blank (ghost in Valentine’s words) for a while. I first spent a couple of days sanding her seams and shaving off the extra resin from moulding. And since I got the knife in my hand, I opened up Manna’s eyes a bit and did the eye mod on Éire’s head as well. Then some blushing, clothes on, taming the wig and she’s almost done. Pics and more explanation to come!

Recreating

So, all but one of my recent orders have arrived. Manna came in, her clothes came and so did Hippu’s new clothes and Nuu’s shoes. (Try saying Nuu’s shoes really quick, it’s funny, or then I’m high on sealants…) Only thing missing is Hippu’s (or Hani’s) Appini wig which should come next week since the split leader for that said she’d ship it this weekend. I’m still working on Manna, blushing’s done and so are the mani- and pedicures but I’ve only sealed her parts once after blushing. And since I want to show her off in just one post, here’s Hippu in his new clothes, wearing the wig Manna came with (Unoa Lusis default). Valentine claimed he looked like a page from the 18th century. He looks very different with this wig and I’m going to give him his default back soon.

So Many Plans…

<— Hani? (Just imagine her with pure white hair and more harlequin clothes…)

So, after I saw one harlequin styled Unoa Sist I kinda wanted one for myself as well. I still don’t like the Sist eyes though, but the lips are quite perfect for harlequin makeup. So, why won’t I get a Sist sleeping face-plate and mod the eyes myself? I’m already modding the Lusis sl fp to be Éire… Because I already got soo much planned and I can’t just get everything…

Photostory: 01 – Hippu Meets Nuu

(Gosh, it took me three tries to get the pictures for this story which has been on my mind ever since I ordered Nuu… Oh, maybe some background info’ll be useful as well The story is, that Hippu has woken up here and finds that he is actually a talking, moving doll. He has no recollection if he has been anything else before he woke up and has no memories before the awakening. He has been at the house for quite some time, alone, at the time this story takes place. I just haven’t done any photostories in this storyline of Hippu’s time alone, since I’m not such a fan of monologues… Maybe I will someday, I dunno.)

Internet Stalking

So, way beforehand considering I was expecting to receive her in like September, Manna is on shipping! I just got an EMS tracking # but it’s not working yet But I’m stalking the number all the way until customs! I like to see how she travels

EDIT: She’s shipping!! Still in Japan though… Oh, and what’s also shipping? Hippu’s new clothes and Nuu’s shoes have left Soom to our split leader.

EDIT: She’s reached the outward office in Japan. Next up is the plaine trip!

EDIT: She’s on the plane!

EDIT: She’s not on the plane. She’s still in the outward office, I think. The tracking of my Syen clothes show the flight # and everything… And has in fact landed in UK by now. But, now also my Angel.Candy-Rock clothes for Manna have shipped. Everything’s coming all at once now ^-^ No matter how apart I ordered them…

EDIT: And she has finally arrived to this country! Well, I think she has in fact arrived much earlier but because of the weekend noone has scanned her box until now.

EDIT: She’s been sorted at the logistics centre. Doesn’t show where she’s headed though…

EDIT: SHE’S HERE!! Or, rather, at home. I got a call from Valentine that she’d been delivered and the box is waiting for me get home. Box opening pics, sanding, coating, possibly blushing to come this evening!

The Dreamy Camera

So I had this wonderful dream last night. I had gotten my intended new camera and took some amazing macro pictures with it. I screwed up with apertures at first but got the hang of it eventually. But well, I haven’t much told anyone but Valentine about this camera! I finally decided that my camera phone just isn’t enough, I hate it’s auto-focus and the lack of macro. It takes decent pics outdoors, but I’ve now tried several times to shoot my first real photostory and the pics just come out blurry and awful… So, getting a decent tax-return in December I’m going to splurge on a real camera.

A DSLR is a bit out of my league though (and out of my price range) so I had to do some research to find a camera with enough manual settings but still affordable. I need a camera with good (enough) macro shoot properties (just the macro mode is sufficient for now I think), a possibility to manually set at least ISO, aperture and focus (but also auto-settings are welcome when I take pictures of other things besides dolls) and a price under 500€.

I finally stumbled on Canon PowerShot S90. All I need! At least I think, I’m not that good with the technicalities just yet. And it’s very compact so I can take it with me if I need to. It got good reviews though and I’m hoping the prize might just come down a bit more in the fall as it’s a year old. Doesn’t come in pink or any other nice color, but I can live with that

Sweat Sweat Sweat

Hmm, it must have been a while since last ‘Life’ categorized entry in this blog. Well, not much going on, I think, except work, but I won’t go into that since it would (eventually) bore you to death. But, I recently started my first -ever- workout program. For some time now I’ve been bugging Valentine that we should get a crosstrainer but we never had the spare money and he always said it would be useless anyway. His parents got one though, for their own gym, but since it is now obvious they won’t be using it, we got that one on loan.

My workout program is nothing much, 15-20 mins every other day, but it is better than the nothing I’d otherwise do. And so far I’ve stuck with it. Even as I’ve not really felt like getting on that thing, I’ve managed to do so anyways. Not regretting it and actually I’m pretty proud of myself. But I know (and this is what actually must drive to keep up with my program) that if I miss it one time, I’ll miss a few more and then some. And eventually just give up. So I have to do it every other day!

But only after such a short time, I’m starting to get better. I can excersize longer and with more resistance. Now if only I could figure out what system the monitor uses so I could actually know what is the distance I’ve ‘run’ and how fast and what my pulse actually is during work-out…

Hoping to lose another 10kg, slowly but someday. I’ve actually managed to keep the kilos from my last diet away, only gained one back although I’ve not watched my eating at all regarding snacks or sweets. I didn’t have much incentive to lose more weight then though, as I had done the diet for my wedding dress that in the end was a bit too big. I still learned about healthy eating and I try to keep it up, even more now. And strangely, I don’t get the desire to stuff my face with junk food/candy/snacks much anymore. I can look at the snack shelf at the store and just walk by.

Randomness

Woke up this morning way before Valentine so as I had nothing better to do, took some random pictures of my little ones.

Kikoe Masu Ka?

Yesterday I received a big box from HLJ (Hobby Link Japan). Inside, a big figure box. Inside that, the petite Black Rock Shooter Black blade ver. with her deadly attitute. Good Smile Company did good work with this one, she’s nicely sculpted, the base is amazing and I see no flaw in the paintwork.
