What is this Style?

 Finally got the innerwear and put together a new outfit!  I didn't notice my phone was zoomed in too far so I cut of my head a bit 🙀but you can still see the outfit!

Unfortunate News, but Also Look at this Food and Coordinates

 Hey everybody!  I've got some unfortunate life updates so I'll talk about it while sharing some recent photos.

My mother's cancer is no longer being managed by the medication, and started chemotherapy yesterday.

Mini Taipei Twitch Meetup

On Tuesday I met up with a couple people I know from Twitch.  Iolas_ is also from the USA and lives in the south of Taiwan, but she was in Taipei for an event so we got the chance to meet up!  Since we'd been planning on going to a bar/bistro, I decided to wear something dark to avoid any spills in case other patrons (or myself) got a bit too tipsy 😹

My mom said I look nice ^u^  And loved my tights.  I LOVE MY TIGHTS TOO.

Weekend Meetups

 On Sunday I met up with a community member from my Twitch community who was in Taiwan with his family for a few days.  We only had a couple hours to meet up so I dressed casually and we went for coffee~

My First Brand Tea Party: Little Rose Planet ft. Cathy Cat

 It's been a busy several days for me, so I'm a bit behind on posts! Going out every day can really take a toll.

On Saturday I went to my first brand-hosted tea party by Taiwanese Lolita brand Little Rose Planet! I've known the owner Mei for so long I can't remember when we met any more 😹 One of the girls actually asked me that question at the tea party, which is why I started thinking about it, and realized I have no idea!  She's lovely and often collaborates with talented artist Zihlinghuang for prints!

I saw the Little Rose Planet instagram post about the tea party and signed up and paid right away!  There were no new product launches or products to buy at the tea party as most brand events have, but I wanted to support anyway!

The location also got changed as the original restaurant didn't want to reserve for such a large group 😾without a down payment. Luckily, the alternate restaurant chosen was one I'd had saved on my Google Maps for a while, so I'm really glad we went there!

They also had a special guest Cathy Cat from Japan (iirc, she said she's German, studied in UK, then moved to Japan) and it was lovely to meet and chat with her too!

Recent Shopping Gets!

 Earlier this year I did a random shopping spree on taobao... or two!  It's mostly Lolita things and some daily items as well, so I thought I would do an old-school haul post!

2/22 Cat Day Lolita Tea Party!

 2/22 is Japan's National Cat Day as it sounds like "nyan nyan nyan" and also happened to be our February lolita meetup date! So we had the theme of Cat, naturally.

I also discovered I don't have any cat prints... mine are mostly BABY's bears or usakumya, or sweets!  My one Putumayo JSK has a subtle print of Alice in Wonderland that includes the Cheshire Cat, so I wore that one~

Can you even spot the cat it my print? (Top right)

Monster Hunter Wilds Character Creation

 Totally random post to show my character in Monster Hunter Wilds!  The Beta Tests (total of three times) allowed us to edit our characters with unlimited changes, so I tried to make it look like me.  There are some parts that cannot be changed the way I want, but I think it's closer than my World character at least!

I was unable to find a matching upper lip shape or a triangular nose, and the chin line is too round.  I actually plucked and shaved my IRL eyebrows to match my character better 😹

I also don't have eyeshadow as purple as the one I gave my character!  I should have gone for a pale pink instead.  The bump on the nose is also lower on the character than my bump IRL, but it's the closest I could get!  It's also the first time a bump nose was even available in Monster Hunter.  

So overall, I don't think it really looks like me, but I also spent about seven hours on it already and don't know how to change it further within the limitations of the system.

The full game launches in a week!  I ordered the steelbook (comes with two coasters) so I won't be able to play Day 1 as I must wait for delivery, but am still excited!

Do you play Monster Hunter?  Or have you ever tried to make yourself in a character creator in game?

Sushiro x Bugcat Capoo Trip!

Valentine's Day 2025

 Happy Valentine's Day (or Internet Friend Day)!  Here's to celebrating self-love, friends, family, and significant others if you have them!

I'm single so I spent the day watching Burn Notice with friends in discord, and then attending a board game night with IRL friends!  I brought salted dark chocolate truffles to share 😻and one of the other members brought canelés and a little cheesecake to share!  They were so delicious~

Random Day Out

 Last week I went out with my mom to eat and walk around.  This is a bit delayed post as usual 😹

We were around Taipei 101 and got some photos with setups around the area.

Taipei Game Show 2025

 Yesterday I went to the Taipei Game Show!!  whirow from Singapore came to TW for the event so we met up~  I also got to meet itsneyrin for the first time in person!  

Hiro and I arrived first and we tried to catch the Monster Hunter Wilds livestream on stage, but the location was so large we got lost and made it to the stage right after the stream ended 😿

We did pass a Monster Hunter partbreak challenge mini booth, but when we met up with everybody else and went back to try, it had already ended!! So ended up with no Monster Hunter chance as the Wilds beta demos were already booked fully.

We did see two Monster Hunter cosplayers though!
