Honey's First Face-up

[NSFW] doll penis

My first go at doing a face up + full body blush. Pretty fucking proud of it, considering I did it in under three hours (not advisable, I tell you).

I learned a lot. One being how I wasn't too bad at this as I had originally anticipated. Another is that I sorely need to practice my spray can usage. I thought my MSC was going to give out on me, thus sparse sealing, which resulted in chipped joints. It was a fun experience. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'll revamp him entirely when his things from Taobao arrive, but for now, Honey will be keeping this look.

Dollmore and Lovingly Yours, EMS

Third week of March, I went to EMS to pick up my Dollmore package. More or less the same process, only that the old rundown warehouse-type structure where you used to go get packages for customs examination has been moved to the freshly renovated main building (which is the first thing you see when you enter EMS).

Only that so help me god, I cannot for the life of me fathom how they compute for your god damn taxes. I hadn't know by how much Dollmore had marked down my package, but I was hoping my tax wasn't over 1k. Turned out, Dollmore had marked down my package from 44.90 USD to 20 USD. Not bad right? Except my tax was still stupidly unreasonable.

I mean, what is that. Why is that. I kept comparing it to what I had computed last time and I just ???Long story short, if I hadn't had my package marked down, I would've probably paid more than 1k, which is bullshit. And if my package had indeed been 20 USD and I paid 919 Php for tax, that's taxing me almost 100% of what I paid for.

Best. Postal service. Ever.

I'm just glad my runs with EMS will be few and far between. Now, onto Dollmore.

A bunch of hooks for myself and kuya, plus five pairs of My Self Eyes, or the Dollmore DIY eyes.

Quick Homecoming Post!

My kuya, Alek, brought Honey's body over today! I am ridiculously thrilled to have him finally with me and whole. If I had told the me from December 2012 I'd be completing Honey in much less time than I had expected, I never would've believed it.

But here I am and here he is.

He looks happy, and I'm certainly very happy for him. ♥❤

Happy 2014!

....a month in.

I've been really busy since my family came home for the holidays, and up till now with the first semester of my Masters Program concluding in the next two months. Job applications are doing okay. The schools I've submitted my resume to have told me to call back in March, when graduations are over and they're open for hiring teachers for the new school year. In the meantime, I've gotten myself a part-time job as a tutor for my sister's boss's boss.

It pays incredibly well for what I actually do, so I'm hoping I can really save before summer rolls around.

3 built. a whopping 13 to go!

I'm really looking forward to this year. 2014 is probably my most important year yet. I plan to start a lot of things, accomplish a lot of things, be loads happier with what I'm doing in general.

Hobby-wise, I'd love to get to building that tall pile of LBXs (and a lone Gundam my sister got me for Christmas!).  It'll double as practice for me since I plan to join this year's GBWC. I want to perfect nub removal, sanding, and seaming--so I can build the cleanest units anyone's ever seen. This March, I'm going to purchase a body for Honey, and finally get to complete him, fulfilling what seemed such a lofty goal when I decided he'd be our 10th Anniversary gift back in 2012 (not to mention making my debut in the BJD hobby after two years of lurking and dicking around).

Yes, it's the 10th Anniversary of The JohhnyMcKilt Productions, my pseud when I was in FanFiction.Net. And while most people would rather forget their early years in FF.Net, they are immensely important to me. A lot of things in my life are centered around fic and fandom. I've experienced a whole lot through writing--loved, gotten hurt, and grew as a person. It's going to be amazing for me to sort of look back and laugh at myself and all the dumb things I wrote for the past ten years, and see how far I've gone.

So yeah, January's over. I'm on a road I feel good taking.

今年もよろしくお願いします。(❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*
