Small Update

Hello Everyone!

It has been some time since my last post, hasn't it? I am very sorry for this! I have started another semester at college, it will be my last, (unless I decide to return later on!) so I am finishing in December!

I have added a few more items to my collection, mostly some newer merchandise from GE Animation. I recently placed an order to get a few more things, including the new star locket! So I will try to get some photos taken once they arrive.

I also started to make my own Sailor Moon inspired blanket/comforter! (See left) It is taking longer than I would like since I don't have much time between classes, work, and homework, but it is coming along.

I'm also working on a new "Weekly Review" post, though I know they have not been weekly for some time, and I likely won't be able to keep it weekly, as much as I would like to! I will try, though. If nothing else I will try to make at least one a month and hopefully once classes are out I can get back to weekly ones.

I hope all of you are doing well. I'll remind you once again that I am a bit more active at my Tumblr page, but it is mostly an occasional reblog of something I like. Although I have had a queue of some collection photos over there (I'm sorry I didn't set one up here).

Hello Everyone!

I have good news, and I have bad news...

The good news is: In just a few more days my special visitor from Germany will arrive!!!!
I'm so excited! They will be here about a month and I'm going crazy running around trying to clean, get things, and organize.

Which leads to the bad news: Between the many work hours I have been putting in, and all the cleaning, etc, I have no new review post for today. I'm terribly sorry!

In fact, I'm not sure if I'll be doing them this whole month. We plan on going a lot of places, but I still will have to work a little while they are here, and I just feel that there will be little to no time to take care of the weekly review posts. Believe it or not, these do take quite some time to prepare!

In any case, I guess you could see this as a sort of "hiatus" for the blog... I know I have not been updating much recently anyway and I'm sorry. I'm a bit more active at my Tumblr but it is mostly re-blogs. However, I do have a queue set up there, a 30 day Sailor Moon challenge. If you want to know a bit more about my past with Sailor Moon, favorite characters, etc please check it out!

Thanks for viewing my blog! Feel free to check out my previous posts!

Oh, and did I ever mention that I added another page for my collection to go along with my RP Items page?

There are plenty more items and photos to add, I'll try to remember to let you know when I update next!

Again, I'm sorry for the lack of updates here, even just catching up with everything online takes some time! I hope you are all having a pleasant spring so far!

I know I have been promising this for awhile, but I will try my best to get back into my usual weekly review posts! Since classes ended last week (I got all A's this semester I'm so excited!) I thought I would have a bit more time, but instead I'm just working more at my job.

On top of that, a lot of things are coming up as far as spring/summer events that I am trying to go to, currently most of it has been sort of "traditional" things I do with my family. I feel I have kind of been neglecting spending time with family lately so when my mom or anyone else asks me to spend time with them I really feel compelled to do so, the only problem with that is it's usually my day off and we spend almost the entire day together!! But I really do have a lot of fun.

However, at the same time I have a lot of work to do around my apartment cleaning up, organizing, and so on to get ready for my friend coming to visit. I have hardly started with that so I have a lot of work ahead of me. I also need to really update my last of places I'd love to go while they are here. It's exciting for me because I will get to go to places I've always wanted to see, but didn't want to go by myself!

I suppose this post is mostly a way for me to say that I really have not forgotten about my blog! I try to check my Tumblr one every day but that is mostly because I really enjoy some of the posts I see there and there's a lot more activity going on, but besides the occasional re-blog and/or comment I'm not creating any new/original content there so you're not missing out on anything!

In any case, tomorrow I have a full day off and I'm hoping I will stop being lazy while I'm home enough to get the Friday post ready for this week and do some cleaning. I have a few posts I started editing/setting up awhile back but it really does take a lot of time to find photos and information about various items, especially when I run into things I know very little about.

I hope people will stick around a bit! As I'm cleaning/organizing I'm hoping to do some more "documentation" of my collection, so hopefully I will have some more collection updates soon.

A Few Updates

Basically I am still very busy between work and school. I don't know if I will be able to do the weekly review post yet or not. I have a lot of projects going on and papers to write. In fact, I only have one class in which we have an actual exam (and a project), the rest of my classes are all final projects and/or papers.

So, I'm trying to keep up with all of my schoolwork and still working quite a bit so I can afford to live. In any case, I'm sorry I have not been able to keep up with my blog very much recently.

Last Monday (April 9th) I worked very early in the morning (5:30am) and went to class after work. It wouldn't be too bad if this didn't always make me so tired! But I worked so early so I could see a documentary showing at my college. It was called "The People's Crisis" (video preview) a very interesting film about North Korea and attempts to help refugees escape to become free. I highly recommend it! I even bought the DVD and a T-shirt. Also please check out their website: LiNK

Thursday as part of a group project, I went to the nearby wastewater treatment plant. That was an interesting experience! It actually was not bad at all, you would think the smell would be awful but for the most part the whole area just smells like pond water. It was a very informative tour, their methods are actually pretty natural for cleaning the water before putting it in the river, at least at the plant closest to me.


Friday, when I (again) worked very early, but I stayed until 3pm (so I got 9 1/2 hours) I was supposed to leave at 2:30pm but we had been SO busy all day I stayed to try to help clean up and restock a bit. I was incredibly tired but it was worth it to be able to go to the Asian Heritage Festival at my college, which was at 5:30pm. I was there until about 8:30pm I took a lot of videos and some photos, I may try to share them here when I have time to prepare a post. I still feel a bit bad about not having a regular post that day.


Edit: Oh! I am also happy to say that I will be having a visitor from Germany from early June-early July. I'm so excited! This is someone who I have been talking to for years and have been to visit them, and they are finally coming to visit me! I hope they will enjoy their stay.

This week has just been all work/classes. I'm trying to make headway on all of my projects as they will be due before my papers and exams.
