Sunshine

Now that summer is approaching, my four-year old has been reminding me to water the plants and bringing them under the sun everyday.  I don’t have green fingers so I am doing the best that I can in keeping our potted plants alive.  Sunshine definitely helps alot, not just to a plant but to us now.  I have been feeling really good and energetic under the sun and with my little sunshine around too. :)   It is the best time for spring cleaning, gardening and home decorating, both in RL and SL!

Head down to the Home and Garden Expo 2013, opening on May 24, for all the new and beautiful items you can find this summer!  Landmark will be posted as the date draws closer so remember to check back on May 24 again. :)

Also perfect for the summer, is this lovely Meadow Maxi dress from PurpleMoon and also the new Denee hair by Truth.  Both looks so relax and charming. :)   Matching this look is the statement Kotar bracelet from Finesmith in purple, adding a little glam to a summer day.

Refine Six

I’m six today (May 20)!!  Yes! Six years old! Wow! I can’t believe it…..I am an old cow! :D

Six years ago today I rezzed in this wonderful virtual world of Second Life, driven partially by curiosity and real life works.  This is the first virtual game I played and since then I never turned back.

I can’t believe it has been six years!  Six years is a long time for me.  Not only many things have changed for me in SL, I have been through a lot in RL for the past six years too but I am glad I have always had SL by my side on those bright or gloomy days.  I see turning six as a great milestone, in fact a fabulous achievement in SL.  Looking back, I have grown a lot in SL and the changes and experience I had, have come to defined who I am in SL today.

The other day I overheard a friend describing her two-year son as the “Terrible Twos”, and I thought if I have to call six years old something what would I call it?

For six years, I have found my interest, my friends and myself in SL.  The journey has shaped and cultured me and make me who I am today, so I like to call it “REFINE SIX”.

Today, I like to treat myself to all things beautiful.  I have been admiring this Origami Galliano Dress from ChicZafari for some time now and finally bought it as a rezz day present to myself; and I am lucky to have this beautiful Iconic Heels from BSD Design and the Persia Clutch from Pure Poison that when I put all together, is a well defined look.  For the details of what I am wearing, do check my style card below. :)

rezz day 2 1024

I always believe there is a story behind of every life, or every age in this case.  Strawberry Singh did a “Draw my life” on youtube on her 6th rezz day and as much as I love to participate, I am a complete noob in making a video.  Hence, instead of doing that, I deviated and had some fun naming my SL age.  I called mine the “Refine Six” and I am going to celebrate my rezz day today by kick starting a mini blogger challenge, something that I have always wanted to do for quite sometime now.

I am calling this a “Name Your SL Age” Blogger Challenge.   This will be a year long blogger challenge starting today (May 20, 2013) and ending on my rezz day next year (May 20, 2014).  If you are interested, please read more about the challenge here! :)

Have a great week everyone and for those in Canada, Happy Victoria Day!! Don’t feel shy to comment below or pop in my box inworld to catch up.  I love to hear from you! :)

Garage

Summer has arrived for some of us and it means the season of garage sales is here!  In SL, it is hard to run a garage sales because well, most items are not transferable but that doesn’t means we can’t continue to enjoy this must haves summer fun. :)  Our answer will be the Garage Fair!

I took a stroll around the Garage Fair earlier on and found some really cool stores like BSD Designs Studio, ArisAris, Pure Poison and more!  I also found this store called LavandaChic that made very cute textures on its’ clothings.  The textures are not very sharp on some of them but I think they are really cute, so check out the store when you are there. The Garage Fair ends on May 30.

Guilty Confessions

It’s Meme time again! Today Meme is going to share some guilty confessions – SL Guilty Confessions, so I thought I should style edgy (and not-so-me) so I could hide behind the mask while confessing. :D

If you don’t know who is Meme, check out Strawberry’s blog for the details. This is my 5th Meme post and you can read the rest of my posts here!

handverk + chiczafari + lace 1024

Meme instructions: Share 1 to 10 of your top second life guilty confessions.

1. I am a multi tasker in RL but I find it hard to do that in SL. Reason being I find the screen, folders, notecards switching very irritating and I usually stop whatever I am doing if I have to chat with someone.  I have a friend in SL that can do like 10 things the same time and still chat with me like she hasn’t left the box for a second and I really wish I could do the same so that I am able to achieve more with my limited inworld time.  Unfortunately, multi tasking in SL is just not my forte.

2. I am a gacha addict.  I don’t like gacha in RL and never played any but I have trouble stop playing gacha in SL.  >.<

3. As much as I love to have a job in SL, I don’t commit to one now because of the many poor paymasters I have came across here.  I understand SL has its’ own currency and values of things and it is hard to compare to RL money but to deliver a job or services in SL we are still using RL time, so when I look at the pay per real time hour and the demands from the employer plus the delay in payment or “pretend to forget to pay situations” in SL, it turned me off.  We are not only investing RL time to perform a task in SL but also the opportunity cost of RL to be here by request.  So employers in SL, all you can do is to live up to your side of the bargain to pay on time and pay what you have promised because what you have got from your staffs are really worth more than what they have delivered; and if you have found good quality staffs you need to work extra harder than RL to retain them!

4. I guess all of us do silent boycotting to some extend.  I hate poor customer service and I have walked away from some brands because of that.  I also stop shopping from the stores where the designer or the store customer rep ignore my request for supports.  Some designers in SL indulged in the SLebrity status so much that they are treating their customers like their fans, and they forgot these are the group of people that pay for their creations.  I tend to stay away from these designers no matter how good their creations are.  I will not encourage those behaviours.

5. Super pale skin – I can understand the super pale skin are useful for styling and roleplay but they look very unnatural and unhealthy to wear on daily basis.

6. I dislike people that are not kind and not courteous.  Some people tends to pop in without saying hi and just request for things and once they got what they want “poof!” they left without a thank you.  Perhaps they feel there are no real facial contact in SL and they don’t need to be courteous.  I have silently decided I will no longer entertain people like that in SL.

I’m sure I have more guilty confessions but these six are enough to gather some friends or haters so I will stop here for now. :)

Have a great weekend everyone! Remember to check out the new cycle of L’accessoires item! <3

Metro

Living in the metropolitan city can be both exciting and depressing sometimes. It is vibrant during the day but stinky on a humid rainny day.  There are many ways to look at a city and I guess when we choose to live in one, we need to learn to love it.

For me, this is what the Shiki Metropolitan dress is all about.  The prints made up of many shapes and blocks, stacking on one another and at times look confusing, turned out to be a fabulous, modern and statement piece as an overall.

I am loving my metro, my city. :)
