Hi all, what have you guys been up to? As for me, been really busy recently, and I’ve missed blogging. To reward myself, over the weekend I bought myself a nice bag, and I’m using it now. I love the feeling of having a new bag (and new shoes)

Not my picture but it’s the same bag. I’m a sucker for brown shoes, bags and clothes. I don’t know why. :]

In other news, have you seen the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Beijing?

I only saw it on TV but it looked so cool. Best opening ceremony I’ve seen. :]

Finally, an update for you guys, SanrioTown and the Hello Kitty Online website are up for some exciting changes real soon. What kind of changes? Well I can’t give any details right now, but we want you guys to get the most out of your HKO experience, even while you’re hopping around in SanrioTown. :]

Yup! HKO now has a Myspace account, you can check that out on myspace.com/sanriohko. The lovely layout is courtesy of lovemyflash.com.

I’ll be keeping this account up for the purpose of connecting Myspace and Hellokittyonline.com / SanrioTown, so don’t worry, I’m not “moving” there. I already have our very own Ripplecloud in my friends list, so if you have Myspace, feel free to add this account! And spread the word! :]

When you go to their site, you’ll see the poll question “Which Game are You Most Looking Forward to Coming Out in 2008?” on the upper right side of the page. Select Hello Kitty Online and click “Vote!” It’s a tight race to number one, your vote will make a difference!

Thanks everyone~ :]

ASCII, as provided by a nifty site I found called asciiconvert.com. This is an actual monster pet from Hello Kitty Online, in future releases. Cute little bugger this one is~ :]

You can see the original (and CLEARER) one on the asciiconvert page, and you’ll see what it really looks like soon!

Feel free to follow me, and if you leave me a note I’ll follow you back. ;]

And, a special treat for (me and) everyone else who’s interested in putting Twitter into their blogs, I’ll share with you my discovery — how to embed the Twitter badge into your SanrioTown blog! Click the link below to see the rest of the post!

The wallpaper is available in two sizes, and 2 colors. To get the actual wallpapers, click the link to the rest of the post!

That’s right, our very own Sanrio characters! This “Hello Kitty and Friends” cupcake set was made by “colmmoo”, and the designs are apparently made of marshmallow fondant. The pic above is directly from the episode video, where Martha said they were “very sweet, very nicely done too”.

Here’s another pic for you guys!

Adorable aren’t they? Thanks very much to Jackie (violet_yoshi) for sharing these with us through email! So, how do you all feel about an HKO-themed baking contest?
