Kawaii in Manila: A Dream Come True!

Warning: Lots of pictures.
Also, I know what you're thinking... THAT'S FAST... Right? Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Hi. Do you remember me? Yes. I'm back from the dead. lol

Aside from my usual excuse of nothing interesting going on in my life, I have also in fact been VERY busy. ; 3 ; Well, I'll be having some free time again from now so... Here's a brand new blog post! Hehe. <3

There's a lot of positive energy in my life right now and I really plan to sustain this. Get. Rid. Of. All. The. Bad. Vibes.

To start off all the great things happening, we'll talk about where I was a couple of hours ago yesterday--the first ever Kawaii in Manila lifestyle workshop!

Chi-chi of Little Miss Paintbrush drew most of the cute art you will see on this blog post--including this.

So what did we do there exactly? It's hard to explain everything in detail so I'll let the pictures do the talking.

The venue was a real wonderland. There were pockys, toys, chocolate, wafer sticks, and all things cute EVERYWHERE!

Washi-tape~ They were all so pretty. ; 3 ; I shared mine with a friend I met there, Savie. So, we each got whatever we wanted. :P

Anne Kate made us these cute "LIMITED EDITION" made with love bows. <3 

I had no idea how to use these... But they're cute anyway! Haha. (*^▽^*)

Meet Kawaii Girl. I think she is the Kawaii in Manila Mascot. (*≧▽≦)

Aren't they cute? Each of the Kawaii Team introduced themselves.

Reese was on the other side of the room. ＼（Ｔ∇Ｔ）／

Chi-chi taught us how to make a no-sew Tutu/Fairy-kei garment. <3

And oh! We also made lots of bows from felt... But it seems I didn't take any snap. /facepalm

Aside from all the sweets, we got other food too!!! That day, I can't say I was ever hungry. lol

While we ate, Reese serenaded us with three songs. She's such an awesome singer. ; 3 ;

I did take a video but I think I'll ask first before I post it.

AM I ALLOWED TO POST IT? ; 3 ;

Here is Reese explaining to us the anatomy of an outfit. Hehe. <3

Just a thought: The explanation was great but I think after this, it would have been nice to ask the girls coordinate some outfits themselves to see what they learned! For the next event, right? It would be so cool. ; 3 ;

We also learned how to *cough* use make-up. I, for one, don't have much idea regarding this area. But I think, after I go home from work today, I'll buy some make-up to try what I learned from Anne Kate. MAYBE. (´ω｀★)

Anne Kate explained to us how to achieve the Kyary-look and Fairy-kaye make up. <3

I have never seen such colorful table napkin in my life. ; 3 ;

The next activity was one of my favorites. ; 3 ; Cup-cake decorating! I love all the artsy and fun stuff. <3 I think I did pretty decently, considering it was my first time. (☆^ー^☆)

Cup-cake decorating kit! (with false eyelashes on the side lol)

Guess which ones are mine?

Ok then here we go! TADAH!!!

I shall call this... Under the Fairy's Astonishing Trance. UFAT for short! HAHAHAHA. Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

This one is called Flowers Abiding. Also known as FLAB. Hohoho.

Yes. Sugary stuff. Come to me!!! <3 You are most welcome. <3

All the girls were busy decorating their cupcakes.

Stickers overload. :) I decorated this myself. *beams*

I was going to spell out my name but there was no more "A" left so... It became... JOKE. Haha.

Oh well!!! ヽ(；▽；)ノ

After decorating the notebooks they gave us, Polaroid fun, and the shoot, it was time to say goodbye. ｡：ﾟ(｡ﾉω＼｡)ﾟ･｡

P.S. Once I get the copies of the pictures, I'll be posting it too. o(≧∇≦o)

Here's Chi-chi and Kaila giving away personalized letters for the Kawaii in Manila graduates. /tears

Here's mine. (*´；ェ；`*)

Look at Chi-chi's drawing of me. So awesome sauce right? <3

The early birds. The girls in my table were the earliest. :P

Christine, Maxine, Savie and ME.

The Kawaii Team saying their thanks.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TOO, GIRLS!

(´∩｀。)

I'm so happy to have been there!!! I'm so lucky to have won one of two slots sponsored by Reese to go to the workshop. Thank you so much again, Reese! <3

P.S. Dearest Kaila and Chi-chi, I'll be remaking my blog soon. :) SOON! Hehehehe. ヾ(＠^∇^＠)ノ

I'll have a separate post for the contents of the loot bag. It's THAT awesome. (*⌒∇⌒*)

Well, I'll see you guys and girls another time!

xoxo,
Jona ☆☆☆
