Yesterday, I decided I would go and stretch my legs with my friend, who wanted some exercise, around a lake. UNFORTUNATELY this lake does not go all the way around. When you reach the end the only way back is to go back the other way. So it’s 3 miles to the end and 3 miles back whether you like it or not, LOL.

I’m not much of an outdoorsy active person. The best I can do is an hour of tennis and some walking around the mall. So..I was REALLY tired by the end of this walk. I even took my friend’s niece’s bike to ride on, LoL (i didn’t take it from her, she just didn’t want to ride it and riding it is easier than carrying it).

 Just wanted to let you guys (my friends on HKO) know what’s going on with my life when HKO is M.I.A.

It’s so cold nowadays!! I really miss wearing tank tops, skirts, shorts and just running around the beach in general!!! But I guess now I can use these gloves and scarves again. Where I live there aren’t a lot of reasons to wear this cuz it’s usually sunny.

Here’s the link to the poupee post I made on it (for those using poupee ^_^!)

If you haven’t joined already, do it!! Or ask me to send you an invite so I can get a point =D

I was checking my messages from people replying to my speech bubble and they always show a picture of my character with the last couple characters who visited. Since it’s almost New Years they were having a Kimono event and I thought everyone looked so pretty so I took this picture. (^_^)>

I hope everyone on HKO and SANRIOTOWN will have a Happy New Years.

P.S.

I’m SUPER HAPPY that I was able to find a few more HKO players on Poupee!!! Everyone should join! Especially if you love fashion.

So a lot of new and cute stores opened up at my local mall this year and today I finally took the chance to browse the ones I haven’t browsed already with my friend despite being ultra broke.

Like most of the stores at this particular mall, the stuff was really expensive but I’d have to say that Henri Bendel might be one of my new favorite stores. Their signature brown and white stripes remind me of a candy store and I love the hot pink watch and lady bug ipod speakers. Looks like it’s time to try and find a job somewhere and earn some money!

[THANKS TO YING!!]

The first Hello Kitty product ever made was a picture of her sitting in between a milk bottle and goldfish. The item was this really cute coin purse and I really wish I had existed at that time to buy it.

Designed in 1974

 

There was a “Hello Kitty Murder Case” in 1999 where the murderer stuffed the little girl’s skull into a Hello Kitty Doll.

I was looking at random Hello Kitty stuff and I came across that. Isn’t that freakin’ creepy? How could they do that to the little girl AND Hello Kitty?!?!!?

Anyways, here’s a fun link to browse around =) It’s a Museum of the collections and designs through the decades.

 If you click on it, it will take you to my poupee picture with this post, KEEKEE!!! Let me know if you want to join Poupee so I can invite you ^_^!

I can’t wait to see everyone on HKO AGAIN!!

And I wonder if I’ll meet anyone else from Poupee!

You know it’s a good month when not only is X-Mas and Winter Break around the corner but you also get email news from HKO.

HKO Is gonna be back the day after my last finals so I’m totally stoked about it and I can’t wait to see what X-Mas surprises are in store for us. How much cuter could it possibly get?! Looks like it’s gonna be another event I’ll go tourist on and take a billion screenshots of. YAY!!!

MORE GOOD NEWS!!!–(since I’m on a role)

The Betsey Johnson bag I’ve long had my eyes on for it’s pink checkers and bowling bag shape went on sale for 50% off after black friday!!!–Yes, I went and claimed that shit as soon as it went on sale.  o(n_n)o In addition to that, the sweater I’ve also had my eye on (was on sale for $40) had another price deduction to $24.50 WOOT WOOT!! Then I headed over to Armani Exchange, running purely on my shopping senses, and picked out a high waisted pocket jean skirt that was originally $78—on sale for $39–rang up $15….*cries with tears of JOY* What more could this clothes-loving-poor girl ask for yo?!
