Just got back from my week-long vacation in California visiting friends and attending ALA 2014! I’m beyond exhausted and aching from a lot of weird skin allergies that are still mysteriously reappearing every day, but I’m excited at the same time to update my blog with more recent content. 🙂 Let’s get started! After pulling […]
It’s been a week since PAX and the whirlwind of beasting out cosplays under a ridiculous time crunch has finally ended hahaha. I think we’ve both been catching up on much-needed sleep, or as much as we’re able with finals coming up next week…. Here’s a full-body shot I took of Ai’s aaaaaalmost-finished Lightning costume! […]
Last weekend was an annual fair going on in our city, so a few of our friends came out to walk around and check out the booths/rides. Being the broke college students we are, we didn’t go on any of them or buy anything except for food hahahaha. But it was sure nice to go […]
After my business trip, my summer break (only 3 weeks!) was spent working on my costumes for AX. I bought Animal Crossing about half-way through, so it was probably the most relaxing break ever hahaha. There were a lot of hiccups with my taobao group order (it was delivered to me the day before I […]
Kicking off with my first trip of the summer, right after spring quarter — even though it’s actually a business trip hahaha. The drive over to Lake Chelan was as lovely as it’s always been, and three hours felt like nothing watching the scenery pass me by. We finally arrived around 4PM or so, checked […]
My Current Designers class took a small field trip to the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience over in Chinatown. There we saw the “Fashion: Workroom to Runway” exhibition, which featured garments by Jason Wu, Vera Wang, Luly Yang, and many others. Seperate from that, however, was this particular installation — which […]
Photo by Sheena Duquette So Sakuracon 2013 has been affectionately Christened “Swimming Anime con” by all of us. It was a last-minute, just-for-fun plan that ended up being really popular!!! hahaha! Since it was so last minute, some of us didn’t have proper wigs but we just rolled with it anyways, and had a ton of […]
DAY 0 As per usual on early flights (I only seem to ever book 6AM flights….), I couldn’t sleep beforehand so I pulled an all-nighter and spent the whole flight dozing in and out of consciousness. Once I got to the airport, Julia and Mike happened to be moving into their new house the same […]
We set out at 8:30AM towards Lake Twenty-Two, sammiches, water, and chips packed. The snow this winter has been particularly heavy so we all bundled up as best as we could to prepare for this hike but I don’t think any of us were fully prepared for the 3ft+ of snow at the peak! haha. […]
This year’s winter retreat was probably the craziest retreat I’ve been on yet. We went up to Leavenworth, which is a Bavarian-inspired tourist town and incredibly popular up here for day/overnight trips and retreats! I must’ve been to Leavenworth for a retreat 3-4 times, for 3-4 different organizations! hahaha. It’s a fun and bustling town […]
