Fun with Friends Pt. 10 - The Final Part!

I got one day of gremlin mode on Saturday to rest, and then had a full full day on Sunday with my friend Pikawu!

We met up around 8:45 for breakfast at my favorite breakfast shop! They've got a branch right outside the MRT station now, though there's no tables there so we sat on some benches outside a shop that's not open yet.

I don't know why my face is looking so awkward here.  I don't know how to smile naturally 🙀 

 
I tried to texture my hair with braids overnight. It didn't last long, so you can only see it in this photo haha!  I've also been doing braids from the sides and adding ribbon clips to the back (the white one in this photo) to try and make my hair look a bit more interesting from more angles.

Fun with Friends Pt. 9

 Exotic animal restaurants can be a bit of a tricky topic as they often involve animal cruelty for the sake of profit, especially in countries with lax animal welfare laws (e.g., teacup pig cafes, fox cafes, owl cafes, etc.) so I've been pretty hesitant to visit any that feature non-domesticated animals.

Based on reviews, this one called 肉球森林/Paws Forest seems to prioritize the animals and so we gave it a shot!

Dinner with the Family!

On Tuesday I met up with my cousin and uncle for dinner!  I got to coordinate this dress with the blue blouse.  I really nice how it looks! It brings out the blue stripes in the print.

Fun with Friends Pt. 7

On February 1st we all met up at Syntrend again!  Different group this time 😹

KC, JSK: Innocent World
Rings: BABY THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT
Earrings: Arin_Honeymignon
Shoes: Sheep Puff 

I guess it's not very visible in the photo, but my tights had rhinestones on them!  I bought one white pair and one nude pair.  I have to stretch them a lot because I'm taller than average, but I really like the effect!  Unfortunately I get the feeling they will tear easily due to how thin they have to be to pull off the effect, so I need to be careful as my foot shape/body shape already causes regular tights and socks to tear after 1-3 wears.

Coordinate Reviews

 Since one of my goals for the year was to coordinate my main pieces in more varying ways, I decided to put together a few collages of dresses to see how I have been coordinating them.

It was a lot of scrolling through my phone camera!  I just put together the most recent four photos of each dress that I could find.  I don't always take coordinate photos though, so there's some missing.


Blouse: Blue or white
Socks: White
Shoes: Blue or white (but the white ones have since been tossed)
 
I really like how this looks with the blue blouse and shoes,though I think white blouse and blue shoes is good, too.  I'm not sure if this would look good with black at all?  The telephones in the print are a bit darker, but I'm afraid black would be too heavy.
 
I think a lavender blouse would also look nice!  I should have a short-sleeve lavender blouse I believe... unless that's the one I lost in Japan years ago 🙀  Pink shoes should also work due to the pink ribbons in the print... I'll have to try a white blouse and pink shoes or pink blouse and pink shoes! 


Blouse: Teal, blue, pink
Socks: White, blue
Shoes: Pink, blue
I actually bought a pair of yellow shoes for this dress but had to return them due to wrong size (that's a whole other drama story that's not resolved yet) and the proper size is not in stock yet
 
The blue blouse also allows me to remove the yoke piece on this dress!  The teal and pink blouses are a bit transparent, so I have to keep the yoke in place. I think I could also coordinate this with a while blouse as that would match the underskirt!
 I have a short-sleeve white blouse with blue ribbon detail that would work well.  The long-sleeve white blouse would also work, I think! 

Taipei Game Show 2026 + Monster Hunter Wilds Taiwan Championship

 On the 31st I got up bright and early to meet my teammate Exo for the Monster Hunter Wilds Taiwan Championship!  I'll be honest - the organizers were not very well-organized and we received information bit by bit rather than all at once.  We didn't even know we had to check-in between 8-10AM until a few days before the event.

In addition, they doxxed our emails to the whole email list by using CC instead of BCC when sending out the initial notification.  This also led to multiple people responding to the incorrect person when confirming their participation.  

I did call the organizers to express displeasure at the doxxing, and they sent an email claiming there'd been a "problem with BCC" which sounds like a lie to me, to be honest.  If the email system was down, they would not have been able to send the email in the first place.  If regular emailing was available but BCC was not, they should have sent each email individually rather than doxxing everybody's emails (and legal names, if they had their real name on their profile. Fortunately I used my creator email so mine only said "Sparklewolfie")

Despite that fiasco, the day of the event went pretty smoothly.  We checked it around 9:30 and got a pass to go to 5F to queue for our group number.

 On the 5th I ran some errands with my mom! Dressed casually for it~

In the evening I actually went to a night market, but didn't get any photos. I'm starting to cough a bit and getting sick!

Fun with Friends Pt. 6: Clubbing!

 I was able to rest most of the day on the 29th and play some games, do some cursed cooking, etc. Which was good because I went clubbing that night with Xerenite!!

Fun with Friends Pt. 5

 On the 28th it was a relatively quiet day. Kaizo went home and I just met up with Exo for lunch!

Also the jacket I ordered for my little sister arrived!

Constantly out of stock!

Fun with Friends Pt. 4

 I'm falling behind on blogging because I'm still going out every day!!!


On the 27th we went to Syntrend, the tech district area. First we had lunch at this restaurant I've been meaning to try for ages!

Really good and fresh seafood!  My bowl was piled high and came with an onsen egg for mixing into the extra rice. Very filling!

International Alcohol Exhibit 2026

 On Monday I went to an alcohol exhibit with a friend!  I don't have a very good photo of my outfit, but hopefully you get the general idea!  There's loads of details in the dress and bodice.

Fun with Friends Pt. 1

 Quite a few Twitch friends are visiting recently so I'll be updating a bit sporadically as I'm out so much!

Had an impromptu meetup with Xerenite at this cute little cafe! I got the pistachio chocolate cake again. The chocolate is so rich! 



We spent the evening at Ximending, and of course got some rice-flour noodles~

Food and Fashion

 Time for another random update on what I've been up to!  Last weekend I hung out with some friends.  I actually didn't wear makeup when I went out, but saw a cool eye look on Instagram and wanted to try it out when I got home, so that's why I'm wearing makeup in the photo (but only eyemake)

Random Cooking Stuff

 Been doing some experiments in the kitchen recently!

Also went to the hospital with my mom a couple more times for more blood transfusions and some medical appointments so had a casual but nice outfit on~

Got the chance to pull out the Unideer coat again!  I sort of want to put some more pins or ribbons on it as it's a bit plain.

Food, Hospital, and New Year!

 Happy New Year 2026!  How did the last day of 2025 and first day of 2026 go for you?  It was certainly a roller coaster for me!

On the 31st I got dressed and went out for eggs Benedict with a friend.  We last-minute decided to get eggs benny the night before because I was streaming Monster Hunter Wilds and the current festival, Lumenhymn, has a limited-time meal which is eggs Benedict!  The animation for it looks SO good so a CRAVING was unlocked! 

Only had time for a selfie style outfit photo after everything
