Thrice-Cooked Doll Meat

Err... That's "Doll Meet" btw... And it's thrice, because we met at three different locations for our meet. I started to head out from around 9 am to The Urban Tea Merchant in downtown Vancouver. I still don't like parking in downtown Vancouver ^^; Thanks to Elfinder to arrange this meet and make the reservation. Our main meet was for the tea :)

We got the Petite Afternoon Tea. Here's some of the dessert... I didn't take a photo of the other food since they didn't look as pretty as this plate :P The sandwiches were really tiny, but the scone was delicious! I didn't think this would fill me up, but I was quite full even though I didn't have breakfast beforehand.

Here's a pair of almost identical schoolgirls, and a pair of Obitsu, lol. And Kurohitori seems to always manage to sit across from me and be in my photo as well, ahaha.

So this is Flamebyrd's new Obitsu girl, a nameless Miko at the time... A Sleeping Princess model from Parabox. I'm tempted to get one too now...

But for now, I will stay with my Helen... And I was lucky to find matching outfits for almost matching dolls ^_^

And this here is Elfinder's girl, who was apparently a boy before? LoL I could be mistaken.

I was stuck in a corner so I couldn't walk around and take pictures, but I could take some photos using my zoom ^^ Also because of that I got really lazy taking photos throughout the day, lol. Please check out the links throughout this post to see other photos ^_^

What's tea time without the After School Tea Clu... Err... The light music club's Houkago Tea Time members ^_^

Stupid of me to just take one photo of Azunyan with the macaron ^^; This came out blurry unfortunately :(

A group picture! Thanks to Galamirix for taking this photo for me whilst I was stuck XD

After tea time we went to Aberdeen Centre in Richmond to meet other people. This one is Chun's new girl Pi-chan! Also an Obitsu body... Hmmm... I wonder if I started a trend, lol. I think I'm just full of myself XD She does indeed look like Chun's Mokotan...

And the pair of 40cm Obitsu girls get together :) Very cute... Too bad I was too lazy to get my Obitsu Helen out ^^; We totally have no idea how long we were going to stay at the mall...

Nyaa!

So around 4 pm we finally reached our final destination, Flamebyrd's place, which is also in Richmond, for an anime/doll meet. Thus, our thrice-cooked doll meat/meet :P

TheCandyMan's Suzu gets to try out Helen's bunny outfit.

Comparison time! Aoi's a Dollfie Dream, Helen's Azone/Obitsu and Suzu's MSD size ^^ What's Helen's hand doing??

Mari dressing very sexily... The pantsu is visible! Because of this shot, I want to get/make a g-string for Helen...

Flash! A-ah! Saviour of the universe!

Flash! A-ah! He'll save everyone of us!

Everyone tired of the Flash Gordon lyrics thing? Cuz I could continue for this sexy Alna photo :P

And here's a Puppy52 fashion show for different size girls :)

A view from the apartment.

After watching AMV Hell 3: The Motion Picture, Jem, Samurai Pizza Cats and Minky Momo briefly we watched Whisper of the Heart. At around 9:30 pm we wrapped up and I got home around 10 pm. Very fun day ^_^ More photos in my Photobucket!

BONUS PICTURES! Helen's enjoying some ice cream...

Oh oops... She dropped it...

A Couple of Weeks in Vancouver

It has been 21 years since I moved to Vancouver, Canada. Unfortunately I don't do too many Vancouver posts... Just not my thing, lol. Fortunately, I have a few unsorted photos to post and I have no idea how to post them, except in this manner. Uhmm... Yea, I'm not gonna follow a certain blogger by titling this post this way, lol. I just had no other way to describe this post :P If you're that interested, I could do more, but it'll be boring XD Anyway... These couple of weeks started off on April 1st.

I had a chat with Yakuri on the night of April 1st because she had a computer trouble. So I took this picture to show her the battery for the motherboard... That wasn't the problem though and unfortunately I couldn't help ^^; I hear it's fixed now. I was also explaining my April Fool's joke. :P

In the afternoon I met up with Mr. TheCandyMan and were going to go to the Auto Show at the Vancouver Convention Centre. I got myself discounted tickets from my dad thankfully. The parking was not cheap though ^^; I didn't feel like taking photos of cars at the time, so I didn't even take a photo of the Lamborghini on display...

But this... THIS. IS. AWESOME! It's a Lexus, but I have NO idea what it is! It looks so good from front, side, and even back!

Lookit them exhausts! And the spoiler... WOW! Anyone can tell me what car this is?

The sakura/cherry blossoms were blooming in full view. I've passed this street EVERY day when I go to work. It's about 3-4 blocks from my house. It's basically lined with these trees. Very beautiful! My photo does not do it justice.

They had a no tax sale at Superstore in my region. We basically save 12% tax on everything in store. They also sell electronics, so I got myself the 3DS! The tax would've added an extra $30. I also had points at this store, so that was an additional $80 off! And almost $7 off from when I buy gas from this store. And to top it all off... a free turkey (a $24.99 value!) when you spend as much as the price of the 3DS! Just in case anyone asks... I'll put my friend code here: 279306359912 ... Let me know who you are and your code so I can add you later. I don't have any games for the 3DS yet though ^^;

And last Friday, I took more photos of "flowers" and cherry blossoms :P

I met up with Chun again last Friday for something or rather...

I'm tempted to get a similar head now... Himitsu looks great!

Chun's Himitsu is pointing at me for some reason...

What is she telling the other girl as she points at me? See a different angle at Chun's blog.

Durn... No symmetrical docking possible because of the height difference... But... *yuri vision on!* She's nuzzling Himitsu's oppai!

Muhuhu! Payback! Put your caption here :P

It was a bit cloudy and breezy, but didn't really get any good shots of flying petals ^^; I tried my best simulating it, but still hard, lol.

Afterwards we got ourselves some CAEK from Diplomat Bakery nearby. Delicious caeks! Yuki wants some caek! I also got an apricot danish just because it looks so good (and tastes good as well!) but I forgot to take a picture of it ^^;

I bought two for myself. This one is the white chocolate something or rather. I forgot the name. Very sweet! I loves it :D The other one was blueberry cheesecake tart which tasted much better than this one, lol. I'm quite partial to blueberries as well.

*monotone voice* Yay. I got caek.

Yuki wanted caek and she got caek! Boo cake? XD

Here's a group shot while everyone's together... With similar tops as well!

It's not the year of the tiger anymore... This is the year of the rabbit!

I'm quite fascinated by Chun's pair of cats, Yoshi and Ginko while I was there. They were playing a lot. Here's a picture of Yoshi playing with the boxes. At one point he was in one of the boxes, but I was too slow to take a picture ^^;

And here's a parting shot... So who is this girl anyway?

MOAR TO COME SOON!

Doll Meet at the Queen Elizabeth Park

Unlike last year, we had to wait a bit longer for spring this year. By the beginning of April, it was still not warm enough for the cherry blossoms to bloom. But it was still a nice day to be at a doll meet! We're able to take photos with some of the flowers.

But before we get to the meat of the doll meet (pun intended), let's see the other stuff... Like this bento. Kurohitori made this out of ginger, sesame and beef. The beef are the branches and the ginger are the cherry blossom petals. Very cute ^_^

The cherry blossoms were quite few in the park unfortunately. Not all of them were blooming yet.

Lots of wildlife running about. We had fun with this squirrel. We gave it animal crackers ^^;

We met a few new people as well, so there were a few new dolls in the group for the photos ^_^

The little girls (my little girls) were sitting on the PSP before, but they decided to sit on the big girls' laps... Say... Who's that blonde girl sitting on Aoi?

There's also a new Dollfie Dream owner as well. He owns this Alna. For some reason this DD Dynamite body seem to be bigger in person than the previous ones I saw ^^;

TheCandyman also got his girls back after 4 months of being babysat ^^;

Some new little boys as well ^^

Many yukata wearing dolls... I had a couple, but I had no idea how to put them on for my Azones ^^;

This girl is so VERY cute! Her skin was so very pale that I had to adjust my camera setting so she doesn't look overexposed.

Watch out! Azupyon's got a weapon! Mr. TheCandyMan was gracious enough to lend this to me ^_^

*Yuri filter on*

I was able to take this picture before everyone fell ^^;;; I grabbed one of them just before he fell so the impact wasn't that bad on the picnic table. Always somebody falling at these meets...

Rei gets some fresh air... And I just realized she's wearing the same dress as Saber from the St. Patrick's Doll Meet ^^;;;

Mari and Rei!

And now for the photos in the nature! Here's Suzu and Cammy relaxing on the rock on the stream.

Very cute photo. Everyone seemed to enjoy these shoots.

Wood fairy in the woods ^^

And of course my girls get to have fun. It was hard finding things small enough for them...

So have you figured out who this girl is? :P I really like this angle. One of my favourite photos from this meet.

Here they are hanging out on a tree ^^

This was a bit precarious since it was a bit windy... Her hair was a bit tangled. I also tried to get the blue sky and mountain in the background :)

Aoi looks like she's being very careful trying not to damage the plants here.

This is reaperofleaves' boy whose photo I took at her request... Let me know if you want this one, reaper :)

Candyman's Cammy sitting on a broken branch of the tree.

Gotta have the last picture with the cherry blossoms. It was actually pretty hard to get this picture because Mari and Aoi kept blurring since my camera was focusing on the cherry blossoms instead ^^; When we walked back to the parking lot we met with Puppy52 and Babybluestar :D A bit late, but it was nice to meet up since I wasn't able to go to the meet the next day at Van Dusen Garden.

Afterwards we also had another anime meet up at my house. We sampled lots of anime again, but I didn't take any pictures like last time ^^; I took lots more photos at the park though, so feel free to see more in my Photobucket album.

You can also see other photos from Galamirix's blog and Babybluestar's blog for other photos ;)
