I celebrated my 28th birthday last Friday, January 3. And because birthdays won't be complete without birthday cakes, I made my own birthday cake! Yay! :D


We usually buy cakes from bakeshops during special occasions, but ever since I started making cakes and cupcakes, the cakes that are present on our feasts are of course those which I personally made. Will do a separate post for that. :)

It's undeniable that I do love Hello Kitty very much. I find it very overwhelming how other people get amazed whenever they see my collection. Some would find it cute, and still some, especially the boys, would find it weird haha!

I usually buy my kitties, but it gives me some sort of happiness whenever I receive some kitty gifts, especially from someone who doesn't even have the slightest idea why I so love this cute little feline very much haha!

Just like last Sunday, before having our lunch, my dad went to some auto supplies shop and bought some car stickers. I was surprised when he handed me this:

Awww..how sweet! :D

He also gave me these stickers as birthday gifts about a year ago. :) Thanks daddy! :D

More kitties HERE :)

I've been looking for an optical mouse which I can use for my laptop at the office. I know there are a lot of these in malls, but I just don't seem to like any of them.

I want it cute and pink, and of course, it should be Hello Kitty! But well, I don't know but I just can't find it in malls hehe.. I found one in an online shop but unfortunately it was already sold. :( So I started convincing myself to just go for any pink optical mouse.

But just last Christmas, I received not just one, but two Hello Kitty optical mouse! Yipeee!!!!!! :D Thanks to my sister and to Mark! ^_^

From Mark

Saw this hanging on a pouch on the table in our living room and found out that it belongs to my sister's boyfriend. He said that he bought if for my sister but my sister didn't like it that much because she is really not a Hello Kitty fan.

Upon hearing this, I immediately asked if I can just have it and my sister's boyfriend willingly gave it to me..haha!

Another reason why I love Mark so much...he tolerates my Hello Kitty addiction! Hahaha! He sure knows how I really love this cute little kitty that he goes out of his way and makes sure that he gets one kitty for me whenever he can. awwwww... :D

Another welcome addition to my Hello Kitty collection!! This was given to me by Mark one Saturday afternoon when he spent the weekend at my place. Thanks Mark!

It's been a while since I last shopped online. I got so hooked into online shopping about a year ago. I remember spending around seven thousand pesos on 2 bags that I bought online. :p

I said to myself that I should take it easy in shopping online, well shopping in general I must say, but what can I do? I'm only human, I've got weaknesses, and Hello Kitty is one of them! Haha! I really can't resist the charm of this adorable little feline. So here's another cute addition to my Hello Kitty collection! :)

Here's a proof that I really love Hello Kitty ever since I was a kid, a photo of me when I was a year old, holding a Hello Kitty plush/pillow.


My mom said it was my very first Hello Kitty item. I really felt happy seeing this picture, knowing that I was really a Hello Kitty fanatic ever since, but the sad thing is that I don't have this pillow with me now. :( Too bad this kitty wasn't able to meet my other kitties hehe..

I really can't remember having this kitty though, just as my mom can't remember who it was from and what happened to it..hehe..good thing she was able to keep the picture. ;p

It was just an ordinary Friday afternoon when Mark gave me this:

2006 Kitty Mirror

He said that he went out a couple of days ago to buy food for merienda when he saw this. He sure knows how I so love Hello Kitty so he immediately bought one for me. Sweet! :)

At first I thought it was just from a McDonald's Toy Bazaar, until he said that it's the latest toy collection in McDonald's Happy Meal. My eyes sparkled (as what Mark claimed I would always do whenever I hear about Hello Kitty) the moment I knew about it. Knowing about McDonald's Happy Meal toys, which usually come in 4 collectible toys, I said to myself that I should have the other 3.

My excitement went to its peak when I saw the McDo TV ad..Hello Kitty is 35 years old and McDonald's is paying tribute to this adorable cartoon character every little girl loves. Celebrate every year you’ve grown with Hello Kitty with these adorable collectibles, there are 36 designs to collect!

McDonald’s 35 Years of Hello Kitty Collectible Toys

36 designs!!! Wohooo! We immediately planned of eating out at McDonald's for Saturday's lunch and the next thing we know, we've had McDo meals the whole day! And I ended up having these..Thanks Mark! :D

And just this afternoon, I really can't resist this cute little feline so I got this:

2000 Traveling Kitty

7 down, 29 more to go! hahaha! ;p

I was browsing through some online shops at multiply when I saw this really cute sleepwear.

The moment I saw it, "I like!" were the only words that came out from me. :-P There were really no hesitations in my mind during that time..it was as if I fell in love at first sight! hahaha!

I really wanted the item badly and did not hesitate in buying it because: (1) it's the last stock, and (2) it's Hello Kitty! hahahahaha! And before I knew it, I was already filling up an order form hehe.. :-P

The item was shipped from Iloilo and arrived at my house last April 2. Thanks to Glitz & Blooms!!! ^_^

Here's one lovely addition to my Hello Kitty collection ^_^

I really love Hello Kitty eversince i was a kid. I really can't explain the happiness that I feel whenever I see Hello Kitty. I feel young when I'm with my kitties. ;p

I had a few Hello Kitty stuff before but i got really hooked into collecting hello kitty items just a couple of years ago. I see to it that I treat myself with at least one kitty whenever I can..hehe..

Here are some of My Hello Kitty Collection. Most of these were given by Mark..thanks maki ♥! Some are birthday and christmas gifts (thanks Daddy, Mommy, Chino, Aya, Ayel, Gretz, Wins, Zel, and Grace), and some are online buys..

coin purse - newest addition to my kitty collection (from Mark)

jacket - one of my online buys (from Hazel's Site)

shirts - birthday gift (from mom and dad)

cell phone charms / key charms - christmas gifts (from chino, gretz, and wins)

I really love shopping!!! It's like my stress buster! :p It's the time when I get to escape from life's cruelty..hehe..

But I must admit, shopping itself can be really stressful especially when you consider the struggle that you will have to go through. To name a few, there is the traffic, the volume of people in malls, and the long hours of trying to figure out which item to buy. ;p Work and busy schedule also hinders me from doing my well-loved hobby. Lucky me there are a lot of online shops that cater to busy people like me.

I really got addicted to online shopping just a few months ago because of the ease that it brings. Through online shopping, I no longer have to worry about the stress that shopping in malls bring. With just one click, items will be shipped right in front of your doors.

But as the saying goes 'Life is not perfect', well yeah it is..and so is online shopping..haha! There are times wherein scams happen even in online stores. Good for me I still haven't experienced being scammed, and I hope I never will. :D

Here are a some of my online buys...
