May....

This bunny doll came from a family set by Calico Critters. All I can say is I'm glad our local and traditional to store is still around.

Styling philosophy

"It is very important to enjoy yourself don't you worry about other people think," a message I found from The Mori-Girl Style video. Not only I like the garments from the video but it's also very pleasant to hear these women happy about their own personal style, yet they do not please society by wearing heels or anything visually eye candy for men. The mori styles are usually seen as being loose fitted, comfortable and almost fully covered on a person's body-- which may be considered "old lady-like" by the mainstream crowd, but I find the mori or forest style to be beautiful! Looks like old ladies to me are beautiful anyways.  Oh, and I'm not against heels or fitted clothing either, for me personally, I like them on certain days-- but not most days when I like to feel comfortable and in need to walk a lot. Besides, I need to take good care of my feet!

Outfit from yesterday, early morning at a bookstore --then to work afterward. I really like my new Earthbound sketchbook.

Easter's Tea

I have been a bit exhausted for the past week. However, I am quite grateful to find a lengthy rest on this Easter's day-- I was able to regain energy for creative productivity once again! The weather was pretty fair-- which is quite rare for North California in April. Perhaps, we'll receive plenty of more rain later. I think I'm well prepared for Spring, considering that I already have pasties and candies treasured in my closet.

♫ Listening to a particular vintage song, Bengawan Solo by Rebecca Pan,  can be found from Wong Kar Wai's film, In The Mood for Love.♫

Plushie couple

Took me some Deep Space 9 episodes to complete them. These dolls represents my requited relationship. I'm not much of a seamstress or great with technical measurements, but I did these out of intuition-- had fun making them!

Note: The clothes on the bear came from Build-a-Bear factory, made for Small Frys- stuffed animals. :D

Mister Heavenly!

It is pretty much made up of Man Man and Islands working together, reinventing  baby boomers' music.

Self-reflection

I watched a short speech made by Susan Cain about introverts in this North American culture, and found myself saying, "thank you" towards my monitor (I'm sure Susan Cain can't hear me, lol). Her voice and her speech tone reminds me of Lisa Kudrow, who is also an intuitive introvert as well.

As an introvert, I have had experienced some misconceptions about me--especially during my early adolescent years, when I wasn't as articulate enough to make others understand my introversion. For instance, I unintentionally upset an assertive-and-bubbly old friend for declining a movie night (it was on Wednesday night, and I have already went to the movies the week prior.) I made an excuse that I knew my mother would say, "no" despite that my old friend clearly saw that I didn't even bothered asking. I wasn't sure how to tell people that I needed my own space and time as my priority. I wasn't even clear about how I still love to have my social days too and not every single night.

It wasn't too well with some instructors either. I have had 'no points' for not speaking up right away in most literature classes, even though I felt like I was participating by just listening. During listening processes, that's how I create ideas. During the time in school, I had my extroverted mask in order to receive a point. With the lack of intuition time, I only shared a shallow comment of an awful over-analyzed symbol for a romantic poem. But if I were to take that romantic poem home as an assignment, I would come up with better results.

While some of my instructors played the random 'call on the person game', I think I was also lucky enough to also receive instructors who were mindful of introversion. And luckily, I ended up with friends (both introverts and extroverts) who are understanding of this type of personality. I later did more research by reading Myers-Briggs type indication studies--and learned to embrace myself for the way I am.

This does not mean that I will crawl back to my hermit shell, as an introvert, I actually appreciate being around people. I'm still trying to reach to feng shui or having a balance in my personality. However, I can't object those freebie days when I need time to myself. I was born this way, and that's how I roll. *Wears sunglasses*



Well, enjoy this speech! Now, I will go to my quiet corner to draw!
