I'm looking to sell all of my Aerith costumes (Kingdom Hearts, classic, Crisis Core). I'm never going to wear them again so there's no point in keeping them. I'll put up an official post with all the stats in time (I'm actually not going to be back in So Cal until mid December, which is where my costumes are), but I was curious if anyone was interested in them for the time being. I'm looking to get maybe $70 for each of them, but I'm willing to negotiate. I'll also put the ponytail for sale too.

( Some pics of the costumes under the cut )

Hmm... with that said, I think I might sell my Rinoa costume too... and the PGSM Serenity one... and my Christine dress... I'll think about it and see. But definitely, the Aerith ones are going.

What a sad story.

Just letting you guys know...


My 5-year relationship is officially over as of today. It was time. I did so much wrong this month... it's about time I do something I know in my heart to be right.


I'll be fine, so don't worry about me. I'm just posting this so you all know it. This has been by far the hardest time of my entire life, but with every day I'm getting better and better at dealing with everything I threw away, and everything I lost.

UC San Francisco ACCEPTED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I had just about given up on being a doctor too!!!)

For the original shots, please see miss hadassah's journal...

And to the ETERNALS GROUP: Please CLICK HERE for the original version of this pic, full-sized, with my TIARA photoshopped a little so it doesn't look so crazy :> This is the pic I used on this CG. I'll photoshop the other pics eventually.

ONI-CON (10/20-10/22) was awesome. Here's my report!

BTW these pics are a lil different style than everyone else's... AND this is another one of Cristina's BIG picture, long-loading reports... I hope you enjoy!!!

Without further adieu...

I am so excited!!

( Day 3... dealer's hall, mean girls movie, masquerade, good company... )

( Day 4... more hanging out, 4th of July fireworks... )

and a universal SHOUT OUT to each and every person I talked to, hung out with, or cosplayed with at the con... it seriously would not have been the BOMB-ASS AX that it was without every single one of you... and I am so lucky to be able to call you all my friends!!!

and I'm already planning for next year... the way it's going... if this year was awesome... next year will OWN MY SOUL!! :>

( Day 2... sailor moon, more kingdom hearts, and a room party )

For the uninitiated on my FL, AX is a convention for Japanese animation... basically a weekend-long party in Anaheim of people playing dress-up, spending ungodly amounts of money, and having a bomb-ass time in the name of anime :> It's an event I look forward to all year, and I can definitely say that this AX has been the best one of all time!

( And now... Day 1 )

Er my commissioned costume has one day left to arrive... :( it'll suck balls if it doesn't come in timeee... she said she shipped it on the 22nd, but it's from Canada and that's what probably messed it up x.x;

Anyways, I will be debuting 3 new costumes at AX
- Original FFVII Aeris (commissioned due to lack of time)... hopefully
- Eternal Sailor Jupiter
- "Secret" costume I might end up wearing on Sat if my original Aeris doesn't arrive...

Jon has one new surprise costume I made as well, which he'll be wearing all four days :>

It is my pleasure to present to you...

the VEGAS 21ST B-DAY CELEBRATION photo/video report...

featuring Cristina, Jon, Gina, and Will...

and a lot of alcohol ;b


If you can, watch the VIDEO (on Myspace) first... otherwise...

( let the good times ROLL )

Another picture entry... w00h00!! this time the pics have been glow-ified...

After staying up almost an entire night for a sorority event, Cristina came home at around 7:30am and went to bed at around 9:30am. She woke up at 12:00pm and met up again with her sisters for ...

( ThEtA cLaSs INITIATION! )

Even though they probably won't see this (for some reason most UCI people use xanga)... CONGRATULATIONS THETA CLASS, YOU DID IT :> it's been rough for them (definitely an emotion-filled pledgeship!!), but their tenacious resolve brought them far and I am confident that it will continue to do so throughout the rest of their lives....


So after the Thetas were initiated, Cristina changed, got into her car and drove to D-Land to join up with Bri, Eric, and Gina to celebrate...

( BRI D-LAND BIRTHDAY BASH )

Cristina had a bomb-ass time and stayed out till 1am. And now it is 3am and she should be sleeping so that she can STUDY HER ASS OFF TOMORROW and make herself proud. *EARN* YOUR VACATION, CRISTINA!!

I'm totally loving the weather in SoCal right now :> hot days, warm nights... just the way I like it :>

This weekend something wonderful happened... I was surprised with the most awesome birthday gift: a renewed Disneyland deluxe annual pass... and what made it even more awesome is knowing how much everyone who pitched in cares about me. So, everyone deserves a personal THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart... words cannot describe how much it made my day and how special I feel because of you all!!

Ben - Ben, I am grateful to be your friend. You have never failed to be able to cheer me up when I needed it and you were there... and you give some of the most sound advice of any of the friends I've had. Thank you so much.

Stephfu - Thank you so much for everything - for this, for being there for me in the fall, and for just being awesome ^_~ You are still my honorary big sis!!

Rebecca & Chris - Ahh the beautiful new married couple... Rebecca and Chris, you never cease to surprise me with your kindness and generosity... thank you so much!!

Bunta Mike - In the time I've known you I've seen how much of a great and loyal friend you are. Thank you so much for helping make my birthday so great... your generosity will not be forgotten.

Chrissy - Oh sExY cHrIsSy, you are wonderful in so many ways that I can't even count. You are always there to listen to me without hesitation, and I appreciate that so much... I only hope I can be such a great friend to you.

Will - There are few people whose company I enjoy more than Will's!! Will, you are one of the most considerate and thoughtful people I've had the privilege to meet. Never feel afraid to vent to me - contrary to your worries, you don't bore me at all and I doubt you ever will :> (seriously!) I am ALWAYS here to listen. Thank you so much!!

Gina, the organizer of the gift - There are so many wonderful things I was thinking when you told me of your guys's surprise. Don't think for a minute that it was "no longer a surprise," because like I said on the phone, I can certainly tell you from the bottom of my heart that I was definitely surprised... and incredibly moved. I can't write enough here to really describe how I feel right now... but I can definitely say that I am so grateful to be your friend. Nothing you have done for me, from this, to letting me stay at your and Will's place, to our aim conversations I love, to coming to my installs, to welcoming me into your group... nothing will be forgotten. Though we've become closer friends, the truth is that I look up to you so much that I can't help but feel humbled when I realize how lucky I am to have you as a friend. It is no overstatement on my part when I say that you truly are my real-life role model. If you EVER need cheering up, or just someone to talk to about ANYTHING in the world, Cristina is always here - on aim, on the phone, IRL, wherever you need her to be - and Cristina will never stop listening and doing her best to be the best friend she can possibly be. Thank you for organizing one of the best gifts I've ever gotten!


For not planning anything (well, almost nothing... the real festivities will start after finals are over...), my 21st was really really great... and I REALLY can't wait to see everyone this summer!!!!!

Omg... this is the first birthday where I have chosen to do nothing at all (except for eat dinner with my family :>)... and yet I feel like it's been my BEST... because... I've seen and heard from so many people I love!!! I feel like I have never felt more loved by so many people!! (I even had to put my cell phone on SILENT last night so I could go to SLEEP... I was getting so many texts!!)
