Dear Chibi,

I recently decided to give MoonSticks’s site a new layout and after about 14 hours of coding over two days, it’s finally finished ^^ I’m really happy with how this turned out :3 I even feel motivated to make more comic strips again :D The previous site design always bugged me since the header was massive and took up half the screen. I think this new design works much better and I hope you like it too.

Please check it out:

..And now to finish off my Sailor Moon episode re-watch ^^ 4 episodes leftttt!

Dear Chibi,

I was in the city today and had time to spare so I dropped by Sydney’s Kinokuniya to see what they have in store. I used to come here all the time during my uni days, but much less now that I’m not actively following a particular anime series (apart from Sailor Moon XD)

And of course, knowing me~ I went straight to the manga section to look for Sailor Moon :D

I decided to try my luck and look for the Kanzenban (Complete) edition in the Japanese aisle.

TADA! These are much larger than the regular manga and come with a pretty prismatic cover :3 Ohh shinnies. They only had volumes 1,2 and 4 though and were priced around $30AUD each. I decided not to buy it since it’s in Japanese and I’m not really a collector. Still, it was nice to hold one and see it in person :) If you’re interested in buying, you can check out shopping links here: Where to buy Sailor Moon merchandise. The books are cheaper to buy online than at the book store.

..And..the regular Japanese manga can be found sitting on the next shelf :D

Dear Chibi,

I’m sooooo happpyyyy :D :D My Sailor Moon mirror compact gashapon set finally arrived today :D! I’ve been waiting for them since last October, but the wait was totally worth it. They are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS :D ahhhh <333 I can’t stop staring at these shinnies *_* I’m so thrilled about this purchase and so glad I preordered them when I could.  If only they had her Eternal compact too…

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday Kat, Kaz and I went for round 2 bridal gown shopping in Leichhardt! It was a pretty wet and gloomy day but I’m glad we made use of this Saturday and went out to get things done. We managed to check out 6 different bridal stores and boutiques in just under two hours. I’m pretty impressed by that result XD. We found a plaza which had 2 hours free parking, but we expected to go way over that. Besides, our first appointment was at 10am, and the last at 2pm. To our surprise, we validated our ticket in just 2 minutes under the cut off! Ohhh aren’t we lucky? ;D

We decided to head to New Shanghai in Ashfield to feed our starving selves, and left rather satisfied with the deliciousness of Xiao Long Bao (steamed mini pork bun) and Hot, spicy & sour soup among other yummies :3 (The soup is still my favourite)

Later that night, I met up with Jacky for our Valentines dinner at Hurricane’s Grill in Top Ryde. Mmmm.. more yummy food~

Nothing quite like a beautiful rose to brighten up the day <3 Thanks Maki :3

Dear Chibi,

Two days ago, my dear friend Mal posted up an article to share her story, her experience and challenges in finding love. Please take a moment to read about it here. It makes me so sad to hear what she has been through, and I hope more people get to know her story. I’ve known her through most of my high school life, and she was my closest friend. A truly beautiful person who deserves all the happiness in the world. I love you Mal, please don’t ever give up on finding love.

Dear Chibi,

Oooo.. remember back in the day when Facbeook “Graffiti Walls” were popular? I managed to dig these out and decided to share them here. What memories :3

Dear Chibi,

I managed to get some time off for all the weekend work I did last month, so Jacky and I spent a couple of days down at Jervis Bay. The weather looked lovely without a cloud in sight, however it was actually really really windy. I must’ve stated that about a billion times during my stay there. Oh my… XD

We didn’t end up taking many pics because of the wind, so here, you can have this instead:

Relaxing @Hyams Beach~ safe and sound under a tent!

P.S The tent eventually collapsed too. Thanks windy! :P

Dear Chibi,

I finally decided to give this blog a special home on it’s own..now on dearchibi.com :D I’ve been running this blog for 9 years, so I thought ‘why not?’

I also revamped the blog with a fresh look, and made it mobile friendly so you can stalk me on the go! XD
Hope you like the new look too :)

Dear Chibi,

Today on my day off I started my bridal gown shopping with mum and Aunty Janet. I booked a few appointments for the day, and I was a little nervous about it at first.. but the moment I stepped into a wedding dress..  I couldn’t contain my excitement. It felt like a truly special and magical moment :) I stood there, staring at myself in the mirror…It was so crazy and unreal. I can’t believe that’s me, and that I’m actually getting married this year!

I want to remember this feeling forever :)

Dear Chibi,

On Sunday Jacky and I decided to do another photo shoot session, except this time go for something a little different… I’ve had this Gothic-punk outfit sitting in my wardrobe for a while so we took it out for a bit of fun :D The Rocks had some amazing backdrops~and I really like how the photos came out :) As usual, awesome photographer :D
