Procrastination

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Merrinette

It’s been more than 2 months since I last blogged :’(
and I hasnt been updating much on twitter either.

Well, I’m going to tell you what I’ve been doing; procrastinating and nonproductive. Seriously, I just dont know what am I doing sometimes ._. Time just flies.

I’ve been playing games, quite a lot D: Some visual novels, otome games and rpg eroge.

I’m planning to do some reviews soon but please let me try to settle my assignments first since I’ve been procrastinating and did nothing, now it’s bundle up as high as mountain

I’m also experimenting some home remedies and hopefully it works ._.
so that I can post it up here with before and after photos.

If you’re interested in those visual novels/otome games/eroge that I’ve played,
I can do a post bout it as well.

So, if you’re still reading my blog *hopefully there’s someone out there that is still following me*, tell me what post do you want me to blog first; review/games. As for the home remedies treatment, I can only do a review after 4 weeks above.

So sorry for the MIA again

Friday Date

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Merrinette

Woke up in the early morning, thought of doing my assignment before class but fail miserably T_T Only realized that I’ve forgotten to take both of my book receipt and voucher during class, thus I went back to take em after lunch with dear and his classmates in Tokio Cafe (Street Mall).

merrine, merrinette

a camwhore pic before goin out again =x

Dropped by in Sg Wang for awhile before goin to KLCC. Spent all of my book vouchers on Range Murata’s art book!

the book cover

some of the content

After happily spent my vouchers in Kinokuniya, went to Uniqlo to check out the latest Hello Kitty edition shirts >w< Only managed to buy one since it’s the one I love most XD

right : Uniqlo’s hello kitty collection tee
left : kumatan tee that I ordered from Aiko long ago, she passed it to me today
*sorry for the combined photos lol I’m lazy to upload photos here*

Since I wanted to go to Charlie Brown’s cafe, they went there with me hehe!

The exterior design;

Here’s some of the photos on the interior design,
I kinda like it since I think it’s nicely done.

the image on table

printed napkin

I’ve ordered hot chocolate and you may choose the character template for hot drinks.
To me, it tastes like normal hot chocolate, nothing fancy.

Seafood spaghetti. The taste itself is kinda plain and the worst thing about this is the prawns. They are overcook and not-so-fresh. The shell just stick together with the meat, making it hard to remove the shell.

Dear ordered a plate of chicken chop. I’ve only tried the wedges and the chicken. The wedges are crispy and the chicken taste quite okay, just that it overcooked a little.

Worst environment while we’re there; there’s a bunch of girls talking so loud and none of the worker actually bother to ask them lower their voice and laughing. -__-

Not to mentioned that their menu looks like those cheaply laminated menu from mamak stalls. Wonder what happened to their previous original menu >_>

Overall prices I would say it’s average, just that the drinks might be a bit more expensive.

I dont think I’ll go and eat main course there.
Hot drinks and snacks/appetizer maybe yes when I feel tired or thirsty.
I cant really comment on the dessert or cake since I did not have any of em.

Here’s a photo of one of the desert; Royal Chocolate. It looks nice tho lol

Okay, hope you enjoy this post
I’m gonna go and have a rest then play Tokimeki Memorial 2nd Kiss XD

Shopping #2

Posted on March 3, 2012 by Merrinette

It’s been awhile since I update on shopping post >w< *reason: no money to shop*

Here’s some stuff I bought:

I had been looking for this case for so long since I saw it from Alamanda’s Lovely Lace window display, unfortunately they had already sold out. Yesterday, I saw it again in Mid Valley. I feel like buying all sizes and the square ones XD ah well, cant afford it~

Main reason for to get this case is to use as doll carrier >w<

Oxford flats to replace my old pair of oxford shoes. I prefer the black x white but they no longer have my size T_T Super comfy and love it hehe

Got myself a rather cheap bargain; 3 shirts for RM50.

I got myself male tee instead of female @_@

Bought it cuz I kinda love the tagline XD

Now, I might look like a pedobear when I wear this haha!

Super cool skull >w< bought 2; one for me and another for dear.

Then I actually forgot to get myself some short denims T_T *regret regret regret*

Gonna go out again tomorrow, hopefully KLCC because I wanna use the book vouchers so much! Wanna get few books that I wanted to get since long ago hehe

if you noticed, i had change my waterwark name on photos from merrinette.com to merrinyan, well it’s actually means merri + nyan because I think it’s cute and maybe it’s easier for people to remember my name hehe

Review: MAKE UP FOR EVER 5 Camouflage Cream Palette

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Merrinette

I bought this for quite awhile already but never really do a review for it til now >_<”

This is how it looks like and it doesnt comes with a brush. Just the palette itself.

Colors on skin without blending.

The green shade is mostly for used to conceal red-tones, make sure you dab skin color shade on top of the green shade so that you dont look green

I hope you know what I mean lol

For purple/blue tones, you can use the orange shade beside the green shade. It’s good for concealing dark circles under eyes

Now, please excuse my bad skin condition and super puffy eyebags @_@

After – Before； dark circle under eyes
I guess you guys can see the difference ._.

It has 5 shades to choose from, which is quite an advantage because your skin condition changes from time to time. It is very creamy and easy to blend as well.

As for the price, I actually forgotten how much it cost exactly but it’s 36USD.

I personally think it’s a bit expensive to spend over 100 bucks on concealer. However, it’s a great concealer that comes in 5 shades, so I guess it’s kinda reasonable and worth it.

If you’re looking for a good concealer, try this concealer palette because you might love it

Eyes and Wig.

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Merrinette

Finally, after the long wait, the eyes that I’ve ordered from Captured in Glass and wig from LilPepperCornDesigns had arrived! I’m quite happy with the purchases ^_^

Some test on how the eyes look like in photos

and now photos of Cammie and Giselle wearing em

The color is just so pretty; no dodge and burn on the eyes

A lot said this photo is scary, oh well, I’m starting to ignore what people says since there’s at least 1-2 of them commenting how creepy/scary my doll(s) is.

I’m sort of tired of hearing it.

Giselle with wig on and new eyes.

Here’s a full photo of her wig. It’s super fluffy and soft but it’s kinda hard to be put on. Worst case, I think there’s blue stain from the pen marking from the cap inside the wig on her face. I tried to get rid of it but seems like the stain still there :’(

Hopefully it can be cover up in her coming new faceup.

New semester is going to start soon. I cant wait til March because mum will be coming over and I cant wait to use my RM200 book voucher!

New hair color.

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Merrinette

This is my current hair color after months of growing back my natural black hair

Loving the color! I’m thinking of going for one or two shades lighter for the next root retouch hehe.

Anyway, please check out my tumblr and do follow me. I’ll follow back ^_^

So sorry that I hasnt been really updating my blog ;-;

Giselle, Lati Yellow Sunny.

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Merrinette

As expected, baby Giselle arrived today around 12.30pm while I was sleeping XD

Here’s the photos of the unboxing. It is actually a remake because I had forgotten to insert my memory card into the camera, so all photos taken during the unboxing progress are not counted T_T The only photo missing would be Giselle’s bare face without the light faceup I did for her.

Beautiful turquoise color box.

Manual on how to restring Lati Yellow babies

Giselle’s certificate >w<

Free calenders. Totally love it!

Extra string, magnets and 2 pairs of hands.

She came with default random green eyes. Previously I’ve been thinking on getting her green or brown eyes as well >w< I might be changing her eyes to a better one soon

This is the size of her >w< So small and adorable. I can just bring her out anytime I want hehe

Well, I’m also wondering, how would she looks like with hair, so I took one of Cammie’s wig and put it on her. The size is definitely larger but I think she looks kinda cute with hair! I will be getting a blonde mohair wig for her soon too

The reason why I did a light faceup on her, it’s because I dont want her to look so bare since I will only send her to Andrej around mid year for faceup. Need some time to save up money for her trip to Aussie and the faceup payment.

I’m also expecting her clothes to arrive around next week!

Strawberry Milk themed photoshoot by Misao.

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Merrinette

Misao had asked me few times for a Lolita photoshoot but due to my time management and uni work, I didnt really give him an answer. Since it’s already sem break, I finally agreed on it. However I was quite nervous since it is our first time to work together for a photoshoot and I surely dont know how to pose. Things went well, far more than what I’ve expected. I’m happy with the results as well. I’m kinda free at home, with nothing to do, so I managed to edit almost all the photos before he does ;-; Sorry, Misao. And thank you for picking me up and sending me home, and for stucked in the jam for hours for the trip. >_<

Anyway, here’s the photos:

Wig: MintyMix
Blouse: Baby, The Star Shines Bright
JSK: R-Series; Magical Garden
Socks & Shoes: Secret Shop
Bambi Bag: Lace Story

You may view the photos from my Flickr as well.

Hope you like the photos hehe >w<

Christmas has passed!

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Merrinette

I know, I know. Christmas had passed. My fault for not updating around Christmas

I actually made a vid with my guildies in Dragon Nest. Sorry if I posted it here late again!

Hope you’ll enjoy the vid >w<

And I had a wonderful time with misao yesterday for a photoshoot. It was the first time for us to work together. At the beginning, I thought during the photoshoot, the environment will be filled with our awkwardness but luckily it went well, more than what I’ve expected

Here’s a photo of it, I will upload the rest soon. If you wanna see it first, please go to flickr ya~

Overall, I’m very happy with the photos taken by him. Hope you like it ^_^

Comic Fiesta 2011

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Merrinette

This year’s Comic Fiesta was held in KLCC Convention Center and I kinda expect things to be better from previous years. Surprisingly the crowd was double or maybe triple from previous year. However day 1 was a disappointment to me and my friends because a lot of time had been wasted, just for waiting -_-”

People with tickets or mock tickets are not allowed to be in hall 5 and stucked in hall 4, ticketing hall. The KLCC management staffs said they dont want to allow to many people in the hall as it could be very messy. -_-”

Stucked in hall 4 for like an hour then me and Jasmine managed to squeeze our way in when the staff said allow another 50 people to go in hall 5.

Worst, we missed Shimokawa Mikuni and Ceui performance ;-; Only managed to go in when they almost finish the performance, how sad.

Only managed to snap this lousy photo of Mikuni ;-;

Couldnt even go nearer because of the crowd.

Anyway, here’s a nice photo of Mikuni and Ceui performing; “Sousei no Aquarion”.

Photo source

If you wanted to know more on what’s happening during CF, please go to the link above. Metanorn did a great job in CF 2011 coverage.

I couldnt find their vid when they’re performing, if you have the link,

please do inform me ya ^_^

Greeting in Malay and I personally think it’s kinda cute hehe!

During Day 1, I actually met a lot of people that I’ve never met before but we know each other since long ago through Facebook. Too bad, I didnt take photos with them

Will surely request for a pic next time.

Misao and me. Do ignore my untie bow >_<

I was waiting for Aiko darling to help me tie it.

*photo stolen from Misao lulz*

Aiko and me. Both of us were tired by the end of day 1 >_<

Overnight at Aiko’s place so that it is more convenient for us to follow her transportation on Day 2. Before going to her house, I finally met Aiko and Haruji’s cats;Suzuko, Nico, Peko and Kage XD

Buyo, Aiko’s cat >w< She looks so cute in this photo XD

Coordination for Day 2; Lolita Runway. Shoes not in the photo, it’s just white flats from Bodyline >_<

Wig: MintyMix

Hairband: Kidsyoyo

Knit cardigan, pantyhose, accessories: Off brand

JSK: Innocent World Puppy JSK

We kinda panic when the committee members told us that our runway has been forwarded 30 mins earlier; from 11.30am to 11am. There’s not much of time for us to get prepare since we dont have our own rehearsal. It really made me so nervous since it is my first time and I expect that we could do a bit of rehearsal before the runway T_T

Here’s a vid of our Lolita runway. Please ignore the MC, again they made a mistake in announcing, it is a fashion runway and not cosplay runway. Video credit to Calvin How.

More photos of us can be found here

Photo by Misao.

Another group photo with other lolita that came to support us

Me and Jasmine, both looking tired by the end of the day. She has been a very good friend and company for me during both days of Comic Fiesta and helping me to take photos. *Yes, noncredit photos that you’ve seen in this post were all taken by her * Thank you so much Jasmine! >w<

Thank you to Haruji and Aiko for transportation and hospitality Thank you Aiko darling for helping me to iron my JSK hehe!

Thank you to everyone that nudged me and told me who they are, those that came to support the lolita runway, all the loli girls as well Hope we’ll meet again soon!

*if you noticed, i had change my waterwark name on photos from merrinette.com to merrinyan, well it’s actually means merri + nyan because I think it’s cute and maybe it’s easier for people to remember my name hehe*

The green shade is mostly for used to conceal red-tones, make sure you dab skin color shade on top of the green shade so that you dont look green

*I hope you know what I mean lol*
