Hello, I am writing this from my mobile. I've been in hospital since Wednesday, which is why I haven't been blogging. I do hope to get out this week, though!
Stay safe and healthy! Do you gave any funny or interesting hospital stories to share? I'm so bored here!

Slightly Terrifying
I saw this today and thought it was terrifying but so appropriate for the approaching Halloween holiday, so I wanted to share!
Mother Nature has made a creepy critter with a skull painted on its head to scare off predators. I most certainly think it is effective!! Images under the jump in case anybody has a phobia of caterpillars!

Terrifying View
New Halloween decoration idea: Print off photos of this little guy and post him around your house. Far scarier than any skeleton or monster!
Do you like bugs? Or do you have a phobia of creepy crawlies? I get a bit squeamish around things with no legs or lots of legs (except for snakes. I don't mind snakes!) such as worms, centipedes, catterpillars, etc.

Teddy in Taiwan~ Aeropress Adventure
"Open this coffee! It's pumpkin spice coffee from America!"
"Add the coffee to the Aeropress"
"Plus some hot, hot water. Be careful! This is hot!"
"Time to take the plunge! Push gently"
"Wow, it smells so lovely! Here is your coffee!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my teddy bear, Violet. I got her when I was about 3 years old. Everybody calls her Teddy, and she is my best friend!
I bought an Aeropress so I can make my own coffee at home. One of my friends in Minnesota sent me pumpkin spice coffee because pumpkin isn't a flavor here in Taiwan (tragic, I know!). I've been making my own soy lattes in the morning, and took these pictures the first time I used my Aeropress. It is quite easy to use and cleanup is very easy! The coffee grounds are compressed into a disk so you can just pop it out. There are tutorials online and on Youtube of people showing you how to use this, but I wanted to show Teddy using it!
Coffee is fantastically delicious, but buying it every day can be quite expensive. A 360cc cup of soy latte is NT$45 where I get it at Hot Coffee. 360cc of soymilk is NT$15 and makes about 475cc of soy latte when I add my strong coffee to it. This way, I can save about US$1 per cup! Of course, I will need to buy coffee, but it is still cheaper than buying a latte every day!
I wish Starbucks here had Pumpkin Spice Latte, but pumpkin is not a popular flavor at all. So far, my homemade lattes do not have a strong pumpkin flavor, so I may need to buy pumpkin puree to add to it and bring some autumn flavors to my life!
What is your favorite coffee flavor? Do you take it black? Or are the fancy frou-frou coffees from coffee shops such as Caribou Coffee and Starbucks more your thing?
Also, share photos of your favorite childhood toy if you want! I'm curious to see who else is still hanging on to their childhood toys! Teddy has gone camping, traveling, and moved across the planet with me! I want to hear about your adventures, too :) I made the dress she is wearing!

More Brand Halloween Products!
Micro-post to share that Angelic Pretty has come out with more Halloween-theme products!
The complete outfit is very fancy, but the key point is....
Cat mask headdress? It's super cute!
But when else would you wear such a headdress?
No worry...
The cat mask comes off to reveal a headdress you can wear regularly!
I think this is such a cute headdress! It wouldn't be too difficult to DIY one yourself, either!
Have you got any Lolita-theme costumes planned for Halloween?

Another International Loliday?
Most Lolitas celebrate International LoliDay twice - once on the first Saturday of June, and again on the first Saturday of December. Today I saw posts from other Taiwanese Lolitas wishing everybody a Happy LoliDay 
As it turns out, the Lolitas here celebrate another Internation LoliDay on October 11. Why October 11?
Well, it is because the date, when written only in digits, appears as 1011. In 1337sp33k that reads "loli." How cute!
Has anybody else heard of this LoliDay? I like the origins of this LoliDay. Of course, I will still celebrate the LoliDays that EGL came up with (Saturdays are better times for meetups and having it biannually means one can wear a spring coord as well as a winter coord). How about you?
