Dangerous...because they are too cute.

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 08:54:56 GMT

A big boom of mine is still swallowing me.
Why are they so cute? Their cheeks are the cheeks of the children, and their mouths are the mouths of the children.

I received my Special Elf ver. Lea last night. Recently I am very busy, but I tried to meet her and I took some quick shots. I am totally melting now...

Decisions

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:38:58 GMT

Last year, my friends cc_lemon(Marsh) and aree(AreeElf) helped me to get Masha.
Marsh Masha arrived at my home on 9th August, the day of big Marsh's birthday. Aree Masha arrived at my home on 16th.

They had been always smiling and cheered me up a lot. They are very special for me. So this was a big decision for me. But I decided to make Marsh be a boy! (Although I had been planning it until I saw Marsh Masha actually, when I saw her, she was more girlish than I had expected, so I did not do it until now.)

Both Marsh and Aree already know this.

When I found a certain sale on DoA market place, this decision has begun to flicker among me... I noticed Lisianthus were selling Masha with Evenstar's makeup. When I found she was selling Suiseiseki with Evenstar's makeup, I tried to resist hard against temptation and I could do it. I tried to resist again and she was "on hold" once. Even after she was "on hold", I often went to see her beautiful face...
http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217960

But this Masha was released! I could not resist twice. I asked Lisianthus about lay-a-way option, because I did not have enough money to buy her. She was very kind and allowed me to use the lay-a-way option. Now I am on the lay-a-way plan.

To keep default Masha twins and add one more Masha? Or to have renewal Masha twins...? It was difficult for me to decide to sell original Masha. At first, I talked with Aree and she understood my situation, and she allowed me to sell Aree Masha.

I was reading the_unaccepted1 who did order her BW F-16 through me is always wishing for Masha, so I sent her a PM and offered my Masha for reasonable price. I hated to make money by selling dolls from dear friends, so I made the price be lower than I had paid, and she said yes immediately.

At that point, I decided to make Marsh be a boy. It means I erase the default makeup. So I showed photos of my Mashas' closeups to the_unaccepted1. Then she really liked Marsh Masha whose eyelashes were blue and ivory.

I wrote all to Marsh. She gave me very warm replies. I sent Marsh Masha to new home and I got a PM from new mother of her. Marsh Masha arrived at the new home safely. Now she is loved very much again.

New Marsh (currently Aree Masha) will get a boy makeup in this autumn. I have already a plan for his face. What I need to do next is to get a BW Boy body. I think I will get SD10 Boy body for him. But I am not sure yet. I may choose SD13 Boy body. I need to check the balance carefully.

Marsh and Aree, thank you very much for everything. Like I told to you, I could not even have one Masha without your help.

FCS is difficult (3) ~ Good News ~

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:55:28 GMT

I got a phone call from Sato manager on 10th evening. She explained it in this way after having apologized for the chips of the head that I had sent to them for retake.

"That head was certainly a defective article. We do not usually buy such defective articles, but this time we bought it by some kind of mistakes, and the FCS makeup seems to have been given.".

She gave me polite apology as Volks. And I said "Thank you very much for everything. I am glad to know your understanding. It is greatly appreciated.".

The manager promised to send that head immediately and I could receive him last night. I could do a chat with lavenderapple soon after I received her boy, and she liked him! XD I had already shipped her F-38 and I think you will be able to see her new boy soon.

Thank you very much, Chyna!!

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 04:23:00 GMT

My last week was very busy.

After I worked hard, I was in bed by high heat and vomiting for 2 days.
My husband supported me fully and did all houseworks and care of children. The fever finally had gone.

I realized the cultural difference again when I looked at one gallery thread last week.
I was thinking that member who asked questions about Sato FCS and promised me to send new messages in autumn would not order that doll through other member. I was only a way to get answers for her questions and did not receive any PM about the change of her mind. If I were that member, I would have sent a PM to me. But I must be a minority.

I knew that seven dolls had been stolen in NY Dolpa. How horrible... I have not heard such many dolls had been stolen from Dolpa by now.

The present condition of my father.

Wed, 28 May 2008 12:19:08 GMT

Because I cannot easily write complexed English sentences, I intended to write this article when I calmed down. But it seems I cannot have an ideal time for it, so I decided to write this with my poor English.

First of all, I thank the all of you who worried and prayed about my father and family. Thank you very much.

We had visited my father twice to persuade him and recommend him getting second opinion. But he did not say yes. I talked about the various things softly, but nothing did work. I know my father well, and in fact my mother gave up persuading him, so I also gave up...

My father asserted that he thought that it was not stomach cancer. His stomach does not ache now. And he lives commonly now. We had visited my parents many weeks ago, and it seems he is okay now, so finally we started to feel relief.

I thank God and ancestors very much.

Again, many thanks for all of you.

FCS is difficult (2)

Fri, 23 May 2008 04:13:20 GMT

I ordered 3 FCS dolls with "nomake" on 13th January.
I received 3 dolls on 13th February and checked all of them carefully. I took photos of "Certificate of Birth"/Zoukeimura eyes/dolls and sent them to 3 members on the same day.
I shipped all dolls on 14th, after I got their confirmations.

But I received an e-mail from one of them on 19th Februaly. It was saying the Zoukeimura eyes which she received were bad.

The photo which I photographed from the top covered with three pieces of plastic bags is this. I could not find the problem by myself.

The photos which she sent to me.

She asked me about the replacement, but the limit for the replacement is "within 3 days" (and it was not available at that time), so I decided to order FCS for me "to get another Zoukeimura 04 eyes for her". I thought I should have checked eyes more and more carefully and felt sorry for her. (Of course I had considered about Y!J, but it seemed I can rarely see Zouk 04 18mm on it.)
This was the reason why I suddenly ordered Takuya without enough preparation. I placed FCS order on 25th February.

My Takuya (FCS F-31) arrived at my home 11th April. With 4 dolls for DoA members.

The new Zouk 04 which I received through Takuya order was this.

At the same time, I had been handling other problematic Zouks.

The owner of this Zouk had ordered 2 FCS with "nomake". Another pair of Zouk also had a little soot and he wished them to be exchanged, so I requested Volks to exchange both of Zoukeimura eyes for him.

And 3 of 5 dolls came with asymmetry eyebrows!
I showed a lot of photos to owners and 1 doll was okay for the owner, but 1 and my Takuya needed "retake"... Still more, 1 of 5 dolls came with dots around lips.

*Asymmetry eyebrows*

(↓my Takuya)

*Dots around lips*

Still more!
I was asked to order "FCS faceup Satogaeri service (redo makeup)" for one DoA member who had gotten that doll by herself (not through me). She heard that I had helped another DoA member to get that service through me. I asked 3,000yen for the fee for my time and took that doll head and FCS heads and eyes to Tenshi no Sato.

2 pairs of eyes had already been sent weeks ago, so I took 4 heads and 1 pair of Zoukeimura eyes for "retake" or "replacement" or "redo makeup" on the same day.

I explained all calmly and asked all things.

Then they refused the Satogaeri for other member. I showed the letter by her which tells she commissioned it to me with 100% trust. And I explained her situation, but their answer was, "We cannot accept it.", because they only accept it from original owners.

The manager of Sato was not same with the person who had accepted the past case.

So I said, "I think all foreigners cannot visit here only for Satogaeri service. If you do not guarantee it for foreigners, you should not accept FCS orders from foreigners.".

I could not feel they had heard my opinion comfortably. I had to wait for a while to get their another answers again. They discussed about this again and allowed me to order Satogaeri for this person and said, "This is the last. We cannot accept it any longer. Please note it well and do not open this.".

When I sent this boy to the girl, I got a short PM that says "I received him. Thanks!" without names of hers and mine... I asked her the reason why she writes such short mails without names towards my long mails which have both of her name and my name, and got her apology though...she had been very polite when she asked me to order it.

Just days ago, all of these problems were solved after long months.

But I received 4 FCS dolls the day before yesterday and 1 of them came with problem again!

*Bubbles? I can see 2 chips. AND his eyebrows were asymmetry*

FCS is difficult...very difficult...at least for me.

Slump

Mon, 12 May 2008 11:55:27 GMT

I had been in a slump. I may be in a slump even now.

I had to write a lot of e-mails, but I could not write long mails in English at all. Especially, when I received mails that ask me to bid on Y!J, and especially when the sender was my friend(s), I could not respond quickly at all.

My father was sick. My elder daughter was having high heat of 40 degrees for many days. Next, the second daughter had a lot of rash. I took children to hospital many times. I am not tough at all, so my health condition also turned worse and worse. However, we visited the grandparents of my husband who lived in the very far-off place because the grandfather fell illness and was hospitalized (it takes at least 12 hours by car to go to there).

It was surely a trip, but, for the weakness of my body, I was not able to get up well there. I was always in futon after I had done something. This was a thing very disgraceful as a bride. Though all people in that house know my weakness and are very sweet, I hate myself.

I started housework and various work for children after return immediately, but therefore I am deadly tired.

I dislike to be "only given". I want to get along with friends with "give & take" if we need it. However, it is very difficult to keep this have good balance. One friend who is important for me for years never asks me to bid and has said this before. "I treasure our friendship, so I do not want to lose our friendship by favors." She is always special for me.

Of course I always help her when I noticed her WTB and I can help her at that time. It's the way of mine. But when I cannot do it, I do not do it. She uses Crescent shop or Rinkya. I sometimes notice it after she won something with saying nothing to me. This makes me love her more. Am I strange?

I wish I could read and write in English with easier feeling. I often cannot do it smoothly. So I cannot update here quickly nor post suitable comments on friends' journals.
Please forgive my poor English and tired post.

The later father

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:53:46 GMT

It is a story about my father and my younger sister. Because some circumstances became complicated, I was not able to easily write this.

I am not a native speaker, so it is always hard for me to write difficult English. I'm sorry for bad English. >_<;

My younger sister works as a surgeon in the hospital that my father was hospitalized. She has begun to go to the graduate school from this spring.

Her boss is a surgeon of gentle character. However, the chief physician of our father was not so. I was hospitalized in the same hospital in February, and my husband and I actually have met that doctor at that time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be honest, both of us do not like that chief physician... We were just left unattended more than two hours. Both of us were having high fever, especially mine was over 39 degrees Celsius. When that doctor finally came to us, I was almost losing my consciousness. He told me to say all names of medicines I had been taking and the correct period. I took many kinds of medicines because I was sick for a long time. Because kinds of medicines changed on the way, I was not able to answer all. Then he got angry at me. My husband who heard all the details in a side was angry very much on the way. (After I came home, he told me how uncomfortable he had been for that doctor.)

I underwent various overhaul as well as intravenous feeding precisely, but was not able to hear detailed explanation. (Though I guess one of the reasons is my sister who was able to explain things.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My father was told to fast. He was sentenced to have intravenous feeding treatment of two weeks. The chief physician told him not to drink any water for 2 weeks, too.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the same time.....
Because there was an election for professor at the university of my younger sister, and the teacher of the course where she belonged to lost, her situation became very bad. The teacher who lost must leave the university, and now all the doctors of the same discipline have to work under the course which won. My sister was made to go to bad hospitals of working conditions very much and was not able to take time for studies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My father considerably gave up. When we (I and our children. My husband was too busy.) visited the hospital to meet my father, he told about the way of treatment and showed his arm. The liquid of the intravenous feeding was not able to go into his arm anymore, and his arm swelled up seriously. My father was having a big pain in his arm.

Days ago, my younger sister called me with crying. She told that our father had had a quarrel with the chief physician and left the hospital.

I got angry at father first. However, I heard detailed circumstances from mother afterwards. (Our mother seems to have got angry with it very much first, too.) Both my husband and I understood it when we heard the details of story...

Because swelling and the pain of the arm were too terrible, our father asked the doctor to stop intravenous feeding for 1 day. But the doctor never said yes. The doctor continued to say, "Then do we stab a foot with a needle? Or do we stab a tiptoe with a needle? Which do you prefer?". Our father promised not to do any objection by his decision and he asked to be absent from intravenous feeding 1 day, many times. However, the doctor did not hear a story of father stubbornly and continued to ask about the place where he should hit a needle to. Besides, the doctor did not tell the reason that my father cannot do it.

The talk seems to have taken parallel courses for a long time.
Father said at last. "I leave this hospital if you do not let me be absent from intravenous feeding.". Then the doctor said, "Then I make you leave the hospital. I do the procedure now.".

I can not know what kind of real physical condition my father is. However, as for him, neither the full treatment nor the surgery was taken. He works now.....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This hospital founds heart surgery from this spring. In addition, one of the surgeons stops work. Because my younger sister is an expert of heart surgery, she was asked to work at this hospital.

She was ashamed of a quarrel between father and that doctor. In addition, she has fallen into the difficult situation to continue studies. Therefore she was awfully depressed. Both mother and I told her, "Your job is another thing.". The story does not yet conclude, but perhaps she will become a doctor of the exclusive belonging of that hospital. This is unexpected... The reason is because she was going to go back to the university hospital.

Thank you very much for all of your good wishes. I wish my father was certainly not a stomach cancer...currently we cannot know the truth.

I went to Sato on 13th. In response to a request of Ginarolo, I examined the size of the head of each child and the size of the glass eye. This is a poor sketch that I drew. ^^;
Because it was impossible to take enough time to do exact sketching, this has approximate sizes and forms. (In particular the outlines of F-13 are not close.) I'm sorry. +o+; As far as I saw, they were like this.

*I'm sorry. I think that the outline under F-22 chins was sharper.

The disease of my father seems to be a gastric ulcer somehow or other.
My sister gave me a phone call and said so, though it is not 100% sure yet.

If it is not a stomach cancer, some treatment is possible by medication. After the medication was done about 2 weeks (he cannot eat any food for 2 weeks), the doctor will check his stomach again. When the ulcer (the trace of it) was left in problematic form, a surgery would be necessary.

Many thanks again for all of your supports and prayers!!!

My father was hospitalized...

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:31:44 GMT

My father was hospitalized.
A gastric ulcer or stomach cancer...

My parents have a drugstore. There is no staff except my parents.
My younger sister (she is a surgeon but enters the graduate school from this spring) and I need to go to help with a shop for a month.

I wish that I am healthier and stronger...
I wish my father does not have serious illness.

*Edit* March 3, 2008, 21:15

Thank you very much for all of your good wishes and prayers.
My father is in the hospital where my younger sister is working. My sister visited the hospital today and gave me a phone call. Father could not eat well for these weeks, but he got intravenous feedings, so he was better than yesterday. The doctor will do the exact inspection after his stomach emptied. It will be done tomorrow.

The doctor said that an surgery was necessary for him. Because there is an substance at the entrance of the stomach and it does not swallow foods well.

My favorite!
