I know the Sanrio online is due to be out sometime, but Mabinogi has already launched since 03/25/2008!

Nao says, “Join Mabinogi fun!”

This game is just full of activities to do! These activities include (but not limited to): Fishing, mining, farming, crafting, and my favorite composing music! Of course there is the basic fight stuff and level tasks, but the game demands some real attention as your character ages over time! The facial expressions are fun and react to your chat commands. Such that typing a ‘:-)’ makes your avatar on screen grin. It’s also one of those ‘free to play’, and pay for premium stuff type of games. I really hope Sanrio online will be similar free to play, and have lots to do. Definitely some competition going on with such an amazing game out there already.

I had finals and then was busy busy busy busy busy.

But updates back.

I’m not sure to be disturbed or amused at how adorable these edible Bento boxes are (Pingu on the left and Pikachu on the right):

So so scrumptious and so so CUTE!

~Enjoy!

So I updated the schedule. Fridays is the minimum standard. Oh well. Let’s try that first…

Cute thing of the week:

There is a doll maker Volks that is holding a 10 year anniversary event around the globe:

Sample of their dolls following “kitty” theme of this blog here’s Renee…:

To go with “Renee” above there is also “Alain”

Amazing? I think so.

Beyond just gushing over cute, I am an avid collector of ‘how to make cute stuff’ books and craft kits (mostly from Japan - the Cute Connoisseurs of the word, imho).

For example, these Patisserie Soleil kits where they provide some pre-cut felt and other knickknacks to produce what you see below:

The image is from these little desserts you can make if you purchase kits. Combine with the hand-made hello kitty crafts…

You can’t get any cuter and sweeter combination.

Just wanted to share a website featuring cute and whimsical flash games:

I’ve been a fan of this website for a long time.  Personal faves include Hungry Spiders (save the cake! from the spiders!), These Little Pigs (stacking/balancing piggies), and Bubble Bees (catch bees in bubbles).

Enjoy!

I need to give me a schedule or I will never keep this up! From what I’ve seen and heard around, this routine needs to be kept for any success in the future. Last time I tried I think I spread the dates out too much and became lazy. So this time I’ll try to be more ambitious and provide an update everyday except Tuesdays (for now I take evening class). Some may be short at first, but I hope to pick up pace eventually. Stay tuned!

PLAN: updates Wed-Mon by Midnight PST… We’ll see how this goes.

PLAN: FAILED.

So the combination of classes and social activities killed that schedule. Hmmm. Fridays are the best days.  Let’s try that minimum at least.

Here is a link to the Dream Studio Vid I made of some treats I made in Sanrio Theme!

This is a great spot to join collective cute addiction. Just a little sad that some characters won’t be in this exclusive town. Still, Shinkansen is included! That’s pretty cool in itself. My favorites probably are, Hello Kitty, Cinnamaroll, My Melody, and Twin Stars. I do really miss AmaguriChan, Mikan, and others in SanrioX though. Oh well. :-p
