Over a decade ago, I made some shopping errors: one of them happened to a giant Betsy Johnson bag, made of pleather. I'm starting to find that some of my pleather clothes are starting to peel, with the outcome of tedious clean-ups. panda favicon

I loved the bag-- got quite some use from it. The chains seems pretty sturdy and bag liner is good shape-with such a cute cherry printed fabric! I just loathe how the exterior turned out over time. I'll have to find a way to salvage the pieces that are still intact, it would require a heavy-duty seam ripper to take them apart. As years passed, I find that I need purchase my needs with care and strict examinations. Luckily, I still have some other purses/bags that are in decent quality within my small collection... my best ones are my second-hand bags gifted by my aunt & mom (80s fashion).


It started raining this week; just a week of errands. Now that I got them out of the way, I can finally rest. Oh never mind, I still got a bit of house tasks to work on. Also, I'll be hanging out in the kitchen prepping some things. I don't know if I'll be able to get back with my artwork and do a little bit of my game logs until the end of this week.

For my OOTD: I had a sweater duster, newsboy hat, white boots, deep green sweater, & gray skirt all with solid colors. I guess I'll call it Snoopycore Autumn? Yes, I know I'm a bit of a basic witch when it comes Snoopy, but I have a connection to the character for hometown reasons. These ensembles don't quite flatter my kibbe  silhouette and that's okay because: 1. it was an uneventful day 2. there's no need to disregard comfortable clothes when it still fits.

Took some photos during my errands. Bern and I hit rush hour as we head back home, we basically played, "Eye Spy Games" with Christmas lights and old food signs. We drove through several neighborhoods with some festive lights and took notes of some diner places that we passed.


It's 95°F

These past few weeks, Bern and I have been watching One Piece live action series. I was hoping the series would be entertainingly bad like the Mortal Kombat (1995) or Street Fighter (1994)  and that I would be content with it, but it turns out the series is actually a lot better than these movies. I was pretty impressed. I noticed they used some practical effects, so it was very interesting to see. Although super short, the martial arts choreography were fun to watch... I know these choreographs were not easy! I think they did a great job with the costumes and makeup. All the actors for One Piece live nailed it, especially the non-main characters in the show. 

Besides watching the OPLA, Bern and I have been quite busy as usual. So many projects to get done and soooo many hobbies to check off, I don't think I could ever get bored.  I'm hoping to get back to my LoZ:TOTK gameplay, because I'm not even done...gotta finsish finding all the lightroots. 

I know early September in California tends to be very hot, but I'm praying for a touch of brisk air to arrive... it will probably be weeks until we get the coolness (65-55 degrees). I'll probably just put on some autumn lofi & finish redecorating my home with Halloween-themed decors while I try to cool off during this heatwave.

Anyway, here's a drawing I worked on last week: 


I wanted to draw a couple of cafe critters. Before Bern and I moved in together, we both used to work long hours and our schedule would hardly align nicely. Going to quiet cafes and diners used to be our thing during fall season. We stopped going because, one, we got our own place AND ever since I became a stay-at-home-gf, I think I prefer my home-cooked foods over most restaurant places. Bern said I ruined takeouts
