12 hours Fundraiser for the Victims of Typhoon Haiyan at Chip's One Night Stand

I wanted to take a few moments to remind that on the 12th of December, a 12 hour marathon fundraiser will be going on at Chip's One Night Stand from noon to midnight SLT. This 'LET's BRING CHRISTMAS to THE PHILIPPINES' fundraiser is organized by the Club Owner and Performer Chip Takacs and 13 of the best Music Performers in SL is contributing their time for this benefit and your enjoyment.

All proceeds from this event will be given to the Salvation Army.

Also, for my part, I have put out a couple of gifts as a token of my appreciation to you, not my houses because those free houses you can get at the marketplace or my store, but some tees and jacket. Hope you'll like them.

note* I might not be around for most of the benefit because I am welcoming my first grandchild to the house and cooking for my daughter-in-law and it will probably be a chaotic time for me but the SHOW MUST GO ON! Have Fun!

***UPDATE***

It was a job well done! It exceeded our expectation.
Thank you to all the awesome performers who donated their time and money and to the fans and hosts who made this event a success!
As soon as I get a copy of the receipt of the proceeds to the Salvation Army from the Organizer, I will post it on this blog so that you know your donations(and mine) went to where it's meant to go.
Thank you Everyone :)

July birthday GG

This is a brithday gift from AnaLee Balut of ALB Dream Fashion. Only in SL does the birthday person give presents. Hope you have a good birthday AnaLee Balut. I love the cheerfulness of the colours and the swirls of the skirt. This gown has a mesh corset and it's great to see the combination of flexi and mesh.

Soft Opening Chip's One Night Stand Club

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I started renovating Chip Takac's Club. Last night, we had a soft opening at the Club showcasing 3 singers, Chip Takacs, Bronze8020 and JoeSatriani Feden. He plans to have a show every month showcasing 3 singers or other artistic genres.

Weekly Challenge-Hunter Green

Except for the top, everything that I am wearing are old stuffs. Well, the top is old too. It's from the sale going on at Miamai at the moment.

After dressing up, I went to listen to live music.

Taking that step

I was scouting Sand sim at the Hair Fair today when I heard(well you can't hear, you read actually) the girls infront of me talking in Malay and I butt in and next thing I know they tped me to their hangout. I have never purposely looked for other Malaysians in SL but listening to them chat kinda of made me miss my people.
Funny thing is, we act the same as other SL residents too!

After I showed them what I usually look like in SL,  we just had to dance while the guy watched our avatar physics go ballistic lol. I was getting ready to go to a Johnny Paramour show actually.

It was really packed and I crashed 40 minutes later:( You really should go listen to him sing at least once coz then you'll be wondering, why is he not singing in RL? He is THAT good.

Imma Mess

Well that is how I feel but I've been keeping up appearances and my friend Del does make me laugh so that is a bonus. Yea some people might say I gotta face the problems head on but some people are not walking in my shoes so what do they know?
Anyway, I did some hunts but I try to be very, very selective on account of my inventory which keeps on ballooning.

I went to [Noctis] for the Silk Road Hunt and although I found the hunt item, I bought this chinese screen from the sister shop across the road. I think it fits my apartment better.

This buggy is from the Michigan Shack's Mesh Around hunt. I feel empowered driving this big hunk.

Woot! Hat and hair from Maitreya. I was wondering when they were releasing new hair coz I sure can't wear mesh clothings. And I am so glad that Di's Opera is around again coz I really like her poses.

More poses shots. I'm wearing Zaara's sexy Svara dress, Truth's Ebony, [Doc's V2]8 hole,  [Mandala]Sinra jewelry and Sn@tch fishnet leggings.
Did I miss anything? Probably coz I'm no fashion blogger...

Oh yea, Del kept asking aka pestering me that we take pictures together and coz he cracks me up so much, this is what we did:

Did we blind anyone with our colour choice? Don't we look retro?

We had a blast!
Then Purple Poses came out with guitar poses for the guys and I just HAD to pose eventhough she said the girls' poses were coming out soon.

I love Grace Slick. This pose is inspired by her. Although don't I look like Valerie Bertinelli? Yea yea I am from that era. That rocking hair is from Exile.

Wow, for a girl who's a mess, this is one long post!

The budget

Every month I would put the same amount of money to enjoy my SL. I associate it to paying for club membership. Does people go to their rl clubs everyday? I dunno. What would they do once the usual routine is done? Gossip? No clue.
This is not about clubs. It's about me busting my regular budget. I've been spending and tipping like nobody's business and I think I gotta be more selective where I go and what I buy from now on or I'm not going to have enough to pay for my rent at the end of the month.
I should bless mesh dresses coz now that I can't wear them, I won't be tempted to buy them. Which means I will not give any lindens to my Miss Carter to spend. Will Not!
Let's see if I can stick to that intention.
Here is the Carter's mesh dresses from Collabor:

These are some of the free stuffs from the recent Fibromyalgia Awareness event:

These are from a lucky chair and group gift from La Dulce Vida:

Last, me enjoying live music:

That picture is done using windlight. I thought it looked different than my usual erm... character? can't think of the exact word.

Colour Challenge Week18-Pueblo

Pueblo reminds me of heat and cactus and then it reminded me of Indians and then I remembered I have this old outfit which still looks great after all this time.

This is a dress from Ivalde. I missed my old Belleza Aiko skin so I'm back to wearing it.

Another dress from Ivalde but I think it's no longer available.

Listening to open-mic at Kickin' Club.

Colour my world

I'm a fan of cheerful colours. Bright psychedelic colours really pleases me. I think it has something to do with living in the tropics. Everybody here loves to wear prints. Even for formal occasions. Men can either wear their boring outfits or they can wear batik shirts.

Mimikri is having a sale right now and I went a little berserk.

I still have a few more, but posing and taking pictures can take the whole day and that's not fun to do.

I almost lost my kitty

Last night my daughter left the door ajar when she went out and if it weren't for my scardy cat Nims, I'd never have known it. Nims circled around me with her furs all standing out so I knew something was wrong. The braver kitty Phebes went out exploring and got ganked up by 2 tomcats who were a bit confused coz she wasn't in heat and was chasing her around. I was freaking out and crying but she eventually ran back into the house.
Those 2 kitties are like my toddlers...except I don't have to change their diapers and hover over them too much. I love them so much, I can understand why some people leave all their money to their pets.
That was the highlight of my real life hahaha.
In sl, I did the fantasy faire hunt and got all the shards and the hunt gifts but when it came to the final part, I kept on clicking the books and got spammed. Well, it looked like spam coz it filled up my open chat. I have no clue what to do next so I went home to open the hunt gifts and forgot to take pics.

Here's a pic of me dancing at Runaround Sue's while I was writing this:) They play oldies 50's-60's music. I gotta say the DJ sounds very much like another DJ I like to listen to.

I still can't get over how this Christina skin from Izzie makes my avatar look so much like my daughter. Except she doesn't like to dress-up or wear make-up.
