Gloomy and Sad

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I really feel so sad and blah.

Do I even want to deal with dolls anymore?

I realize AGAIN that family sucks except for Dennis. I miss my brother.

My dad is going to send my baby brother Adrian away to Korea because he and his new wife don’t want to take care of him. Why do I feel so upset by this. I know he’s not a good father… or person for the matter but this really angers me.

I want to just get the hell away from him. Why do I always let him into my life? I still think that maybe dying might be easier then to deal with life.

Post Office

Friday, April 17th, 2009

So I called my local post office now and they told me that the package hasn’t entered the mail stream AND there’s no insurance on it so I can’t file a claim with them. BUT the post master recommended that I file with paypal ASAP since he also thinks theres something fishy going on since #1 the seller told me he shipped it on Saturday and the shipping label was printed out on Monday… and #2 Priority mail takes 2-3 days max. He says today’s the 4th day and SOMETIMES it may delay but even the post master got his mail from Cali in 2 days during Xmas season.

I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and wait until Monday. I sent him a PM, cause maybe he provided me with the wrong delivery confirmation number by mistake.

What is wrong with people though… I don’t care if you ship late. Why lie and say you shipped it when there’s gonna be proof that you didn’t?

God… I’m freaking angry.

EDIT:

I sent him a PM at 12:35pm and he was on DoA at 2:12pm with no reply.

EDIT:

I sent him another PM asking him when he sent the package at 6:56pm and he was on and READ the PM but ignored me with no reply.

I don’t understand why a person would ignore PMs unless they are trying to evade the buyer…

I don’t know if I’m freaking out too much but I’m just unsatisfied with the lack of communication during the whole transaction and the lying of when he shipped it even though I told him that I don’t mind if he ships it later BEFORE he lied. I hate to do this but I think I’m going to have to take this to paypal and get my money back before I lose $500 for no good reason.

Pissed off

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

So the seller lied to me about shipping the body on Saturday. The tracking number didn’t even work and the post office says theres no confirmation that the packaged shipped but he printed out a shipping label on Monday the 13th. If he did ship it on Saturday then it would have arrived on Tuesday. If he shipped it on Monday it would have arrived on Thursday, today which it didn’t.

If its not here by Saturday the USPS told me to file with paypal and them.

The puffer

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I just got Gary Fong’s Puffer for the pop-up flashes a couple of days ago. I see a little bit of a difference, mainly in the color. The color usually get washed out or lightened with flash but the puffer makes the color almost exact and true to the subject.

I still need to play around with this camera a lot more and get a new flash and some lenses for it.

Here’s a picture I took of the same scene but with puffer and without. Once I get a shoehorn flash I’m going to have to get Gary Fong’s Lightsphere too or maybe an umbrella…

Volks Dolpa 21

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Damn you to hell Volks!!!! Now I have to get SDC Sora and SD16 Ami!

ARGH… I feel a bit overwhelmed… where the heck am I gonna keep these dolls… and the SD16 girls are seriously alotta girl too. I need to think about my doll placement situation.

Its really weird also… I told myself 4-5 years ago that I would never get into Volks dolls because all I saw were the standard ones and I wasn’t too fond of them. Then I got the white skinned Dolfie Dream and wasn’t too fond of the yellowish tone of the skin so I sold her.

Then I saw Kurumi. I’ve never seen a doll so adorable…

But Yori came home to me first, then on a compulsive buy Sweet Dreams Kaede and Kanon came home, then I won Pearl in the online Dolpa, and finally after a seriously berserk and insane moment I brought home Kurumi for my birthday (sadly at a very heavy price but I think she’s was totally worth it).

Now they come out with more dolls T_T.

Its weird James how doesn’t know anything about dolls but he seems to very much prefer Volks dolls and Soah.

I’ll have to just fork up the space!

Sunny day with Kurumi and Pearl

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

I felt like going outside to take some pictures today… The time I decided to go out was terrible though and I need to learn how to take pictures with ambient light sources until I get a shoehorn flash. I did order a pop-up flash diffuser, I hope that works well.

I tried taking pictures with my back TO the sun and then vice versa and the results are all crappy. I should play around outside with the camera more.

Unpleased

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

I am very displeased with a recent transaction I am dealing in. The only thing I place importance in is communication and communication has been very scarce.

Leekeworld and Dolga wigs

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

In the past couple of months, I’ve gotten some non pre-order Leekeworld wigs. Then last month, I got some pre-order Dolga wigs.

To tell you the truth, I’m highly disappointed in the Leekeworld wigs. They are too small. Even though I bought the recommended size, they are small. Also… it doesn’t fit well… I don’t mean in size, I mean the style. It doesn’t look like the picture on the website and the wigs aren’t made well… I’m really disappointed in the quality of these 30 dollar wigs… Of the 4 I bought, I’m only using 1 and only because I don’t have another wig ready for that doll… the wig doesn’t look good on the doll… it makes her look gross when her default wig didn’t.

Now I just recently got Dollga wigs and… I must have had a bad batch. I got 3 and only 1 was perfect. The quality of the wigs are nice. The fiber are smooth and soft…but there was a shit ton of damage. I got 2 of the same style wigs but in different sizes. They had wavy hair with 2 tails tied with a ribbon. The smaller one… one of the tails wouldn’t stay down. Like it was literally floating 1 inch away from the base. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get it down. So I had to take out the tails and tuck that strand under to weigh it down… Now how’s that for a $30 wig? The bigger one… the base of one of the tails sticks up…

The worst thing is… I ordered two more in a GO before I got these… I hope these are better then what I got…
