To my benefactor

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 20, 2011, 4:32 AM


I thank thee so much for the three month subscription *sends huggles, huggles and more huggles of everlasting gratitude to you* :glomp:

I'll do my best to put it to good use :hug:

----

It encourages me to stay around a little while longer, make the account somewhat more professional. Thus I leave the private life out of here, unless it's important enough to share with the world.

Up until now:

Yesterday was the Japanese weekend in the botanic garden of Den Helder, with a delegation of the Japanese ambassadress visiting the Japanese garden. The shrine was lit, and a moment of silence in respect for the victims of Japan followed next. But that was not the only happening: :iconisabel: and I have had a particularly good time, strolling around in our kimonos and enjoying the sights, garden and attention at the Japanese market.
Special guests showed a few typical Japanese disciplines of martial arts, such as shooting arrows and swords fighting. That is sheer discipline, I tell you.

Though the botanic garden is small, it most definitely is worth a visit, yet it's not suitable for a meet due to location and dimensions of the garden.  Photography also requires some photoshop (thank you Isabel, I keep saying and writing photosoup :shakefish: ) concerning the surrounding houses.

I hope to post a few photographs soon.

Thank you for reading this journal :hug:

God I've been wanting to cosplay Draco Malfoy for so long you have to notify me when you're going to cosplay Narcissa. ;D

Congrats on your subscription hun! Once you have it you don't want to do without it anymore haha.

I hope with Abunai, meaning that I have to find the correct fabrics that is >.> and a great deal of character study...

Thank you! Oh it feels great, suddenly freedom at last!

Ah shame -- I dunno if I'll make it for abunai. But I will definitely look out for you 8D
Oh haven't you read the books? o: Otherwise cosplaying Narcissa should be okay. ;D

Indeed, indeed. I'll be sad when mine has to go.

Aw, that's okay, I have a lot of plans actually, and only few are to be realised before Abunai, I hope >.>

Oh I've read the books al right, it's just that I never was into her character that much. Though age has hit me, lately, and I feel I can no longer run around like a little hyperactive girl anymore, now that I'm almost 30 (just 2 years from now...) But to become her with her haughty attitude, behaviour and her mannerism requires a decent study. Aka: good reasons for a film marathon and reading the books again ^^

Same here, and I forget to thank you for you congratulating me, how rude. Thank you my darling :hug:

Don't overwork yourself. My god I'm already glad I am taking the time for one of the two costumes I'm sewing for abunai. Now that I'm working on it I realize it takes more time than I thought it would.

Hmmm I think it's really nice that you're cosplaying somewhat 'older' characters, they're not done enough and if done it's not always done right. Fourteen-year-olds could never pull Narcissa off as well as you most certainly can. :) Also, I love that you're doing research on her character. <3

And you're very welcome. :heart:

I won't, thank you for your concerns. After all, it's only three days, meaning I can only wear 3 to 5 costumes ^^; and it's summer! no more education for a long period of time (no one desired extra lessons, what the kids clearly need if they want to make it through the next year >.> )

Oh I hope I can pull her off that good, or at least give a good impression of the lady. I hope I won't disappoint you, or anyone else.

:heart: so are you sweetheart, you're very welcome
