Oh wow, we're online at the same time! xDD;;
<3<3

And yeah, I get what you mean. =O For some reason, Gaian event items aren't always that nice in the first place. >.>;; They seem to be getting a little worse every time an event comes along. ^^;; That could just be my personal opinion though, judging from the past event items. xDD;;

And lolz! I think it's an artist's curse. Procrastination and commissions-in-waiting, I think. xDD;; I'm only down to two commissions on Gaia, one here on Mene, and a gift for someone here on Mene as well. :3 So, I'm glad my list has trimmed down by A LOT now. 8DD;;

LOLZ. xDDD;; I don't normally look at myself in the mirror making faces. xDD;; It's just that I got curious about what my friends were talking about, so I decided to check it out for myself. ^^;;

And really? =O At least you're more open now though. :3 I'm trying to get rid of my natural shyness, actually. ^^;; University and the organizations I've joined are helping me as much. Now I'm much more vocal about things than I used to be. And according to people, I'm a dominant person amongst my course-mates, which is weird but interesting. ^^;;

And I actually just checked my quest thread and the quest raffle discussion thread, and also posted my replies. I'M SO HAPPY, SERIOUSLY. xDD;; <3<3

Congratulations also on getting your gown, btw! =D <3<3 The gowns are very pretty~ :3 <3<3

=O!! Rannie should go to bed then. D: You'll get eyebags and wrinkles if you don't sleep right! >.>;;

And lolz! That's an interesting way of looking at it. xDD;; And hmm, you're right though. =O A part of me is hoping they're focusing on the evolving items not because they earn from it due to real cash, but a part of me suspects it all the same. >.>;; Poor neglected event items and donation items. ^^;;

Maybe Rannie should stop taking commissions then and finish off her list first before taking on more? :> That's what I'm doing. Haven't accepted anything for a few months now, since I wanna finish ALL my commissions before I get new ones. xDD;; But I do know what you mean about all the tempting art contests. 8DD;; It's so hard to stay away... >.>;;

And oohh, that's good then. :3 Yay for Rannie being more vocal and forward then! :> I'm also more of a listener, actually. ^^;; But I'm trying to be both, since I know how annoying awkward silences can be. =\ Have experienced enough of them to last me a lifetime. >.>;;

I really love the gowns as well! <3<3 Only things stopping me are my gold count, questing, and the fact that layering with dresses can be very limiting. ^^;; But I do plan on buying all the gowns for myself in the future. xDD;; Cause I'm girly like that. =P <3<3

But you shouldn't add to it anyway? D: More eyebags is even worse than having them. x_x;;

And I know, right? =O Personally, I'm not sure if I would keep buying with real cash, since I tend to think that I can use the cash somewhere else. ^^;; I love shopping, so my money goes there in the first place. xDD;;

And you should be stricter with accepting commissions then, maybe? =\ And also, I dunno about you, but I feel less ad less inspired when I have more to work on. xDD;; But I do wish you luck on finishing your commission list. :>

And ohh, really? =O I feel awkward with it, mostly because I'm worried about the other person like you, and also because I personally get bothered by it, for some reason. xDD;; I'm okay with silence, but awkward silences are just strange. D:

And yeah, nice avatars can be made, of course~ But I'm a layering sort of person, so that's just a small bias on my part. ^^;; The dresses here on Mene are too pretty to be ignored in the first place anyway though. xDD;; <3<3

And oh, that one? =O That was mostly because I forced myself to use the dress because it was so gorgeous. xDD;; I'm glad it turned out decent though. =P

And yeah, maybe. xDD;; And, umm, I don't have a lot of commons here on Mene. >.>;; And I only have that gown, actually. ^^;; And that was only because I managed to win it with the Lunar New Year red packet event thing. =P <3<3

And okies then~ Go sleep and enjoy your rest. :3 Good night, Rannie! =D <3<3

I wish i had a dress like Luna is wearing O_O
Ok the whole outfit .____.
Is there any store you know of that sells clothes like? For reallyyy cheap?

@ Gold - Check Hot Topic.

H'okay... sorry for the VERY late reply. :< I tend to ignore other subforums when it comes to event time. ^^;;

---

Lura can help it, I know she can! 8DD;;

And really? =O Wow, I can never do that. ^^;; So you work well under pressure sometimes then, I assume?

And at least you got both though. :3 Everyone has some luck, I believe. =P It's just that some people are luckier than others. xDD;; <3

Waahh. :< Good luck with whatever is gonna keep you busy then! =O <3
Remember not to overwork yourself~ >;] <3

And SHE CAN. Cause, cause... I say so...? xDDD;; <3<3
I suddenly remember that cartoon about the train that goes, "I think I can, I think I can!" LOLZ. =P

AND LOLZ at the eyebag smiley thing. xDD;; I guess they do. =P I have natural eyebags already, so, I can't even tell if they're so big now because it's natural or because I'm stressed. >.>;; Probably because of both though. ^^;;

And... umm... I did say that everyone has LUCK. I never said it was good or bad? xDD;; And I don't believe in eternal bad luck, personally. =P That could just be me though. ^^;; <3

Okay, I'll accept your attempt at trying. 8DD;; <3

You never watched that train cartoon? =O I think it started from a story or a fairytale or something, actually. But I can't remember, really. ^^;;

And hmm... personally, since I'm an optimistic person, I'm sure that at least one big lucky thing has happened to every person in the world (excluding being born, since I consider that a gift in itself xDD). :> It's just that some people see themselves lucky more than most, and can actually "see" how they're lucky, whilst others find it more difficult to see the luck in their lives. =O

Or, something like that. ^^;; Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, of course. =P
So, what does Rannie think about it? :> <3

Ohhh, really? =O I see, I see. Hmm, now that you have me thinking about it, I'm not really sure why I knew abut that story. I also was raised in the Filipino way. =O But I guess it's cause the Western influence is very much a big part in the Philippines nowadays. ^^;; I grew up with Disney. xDD;;

And yeah, that makes sense. =O <3 So, if she read you stories, would they be Taiwanese fairytales? :3 Out of curiosity~ ^^;; <3

And ohh, I see, I see. =O <3 Hmm, I do like your point about only splitting the choice between good and bad only after a particular event has occurred, and not saying that the luck of something (or someone) is predetermined. =)

Cute bed time avatar, btw~ =P <3<3

I grew up in Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, The Jungle Book... you know what I mean. xDD;; Although, my favorite animated movie of all time is not Disney. 8DD;; It's Anastasia, actually. =P I love everything about it, seriously. xDD;; <3<3<3

And really? =O Hmm, interesting. :> My parents read us stories a lot when we were kids, but we spent more time with the TV because they were really workaholics when my brother and I were kids. ^^;; Only now when we're more independent are they at home more, which is funny. 8DD;;

And ohh, that's interesting information about you. Thanks for sharing, since I love getting insights on people and friends. =P <3<3 I think I'm kinda the opposite of you though, since I really value how to get to my end results, because if I'm not enjoying the process, then for me, the end result doesn't taste as sweet, you know? I don't wanna waste my time going through something I don't want to/don't like to, even if the end result might be worth it (but then I question if it really is worth it in the end xDD).

And aww, that's true. =P I have some panda stuffed toys, but I don't have panda headphones or fox slippers. ;_; I have fuzzy heart slippers though. 8DD;; <3<3

I know! ;_; I don't have a DVD of it either. :< I did watch my favorite parts of Youtube sometime last year though. xDD;; Yeah, dorky of me, but I love it so much! =P <3<3

And really? =O Our parents don't usually turn the TV on when we're eating. ^^;; Only when there's a really good show do we move to the den or music room to watch TV (depends on the show and which TV we want xDD). Although, that's only been practiced for the past few years. =O My parents never allowed my brother and I to watch TV while eating when we were real young. Something about not being able to appreciate the food when it's on. xDDD;;

And oohh, that sounds like awesome advice. :3 I get the same feeling when I'm doing art for people. :> I love experimenting with poses and styles of shading. Most of those who commission me don't realize how many drafts and rough sketches I have of orders. ^^;; I always have too many ideas for my own good. xDD;; I tend to scrap a lot though, and just save them for future commissions. :3 It's real fun coming up with funny poses though. 8DD;;

And oohh, she does? =O You should steal it from her then? xDDD;;
And ten panda members? o_O;; I don't get you. 8DDD;;
And aww, poor fuzzy slippers! ;^; </3

Omg lolz! xDD;; I can't imagine Anastasia in Chinese. o_o;; Was the dubbing decent, at least? 8DD;; I have a thing against dubbing, since most of the time they don't turn out so well for me. >.>;;

And ohh, I see, I see. =O That's nice family bonding though. :3 <3<3

Currently, it's rare that all of us in the family eat meals at the same time. ^^;; I mean, we're all out in school/uni/work during the day for breakfast and lunch, and during dinner, at least one of us is out or something. xDD;; Only during weekends do we REALLY eat together as a family, and I enjoy those moments immensely. :>
Especially since my family (my mom, my dad, my brother, and me) is an interesting bunch. ^^;; If you know the show My Wife and Kids, we're kind of like that, literally. xDD;; There was even a time when my family was compared to the Incredibles. 8DD;; Only cause of appearances though. =P

And oohh, that sounds like a lot of fun! =O <3 I wish I had classes like that, but those kinds of classes are only available for the real art students in the university. ^^;; I mean, there are Fine Arts courses I can take, but only general ones, and not the specific types. :< But, that's okay with me~ xDD;;

And lolz, really? You can definitely sneak the panda out then and she'll never know. >8]
And aww, that sounds so cute! :3 <3
And don't you have normal rubber slippers or something when walking around the house? =O They don't have to be fuzzy to keep your feet warm. xDD;; <3<3
