The first package to the new home!

Greetings from our new home! ♥ The moving went quite smoothly and even though there was a lot of stuff to unpack and arrange, we've managed to do most of that already and have settled in nicely ^.^ I was planning to do a little apartment introduction/tour at some point (once this place starts to look less messy and more complete), I don't know if people would be interested in seeing it? I do have a little enthusiastic home decorator side on me, so there might be more home related posts from now on as well :3


Moving on to the actual subject - the first package that I've received after moving here :3

My Amiami order from July was already available for pick-up at the post office last week, but with all the other hassle I wasn't in a hurry to fetch it. Today I had some free time after running a few errands, so I decided to go pick up the package! The order doesn't include my Azone clothing pre-orders for the month, since I've decided not to combine them with my figure orders anymore (as some Azone items always get delayed and I end up having to wait longer for my figures because of that >3<).

So, here's what I got!

Looks quite Nendoroid oriented ^^;;

Nendoroid Co-de of Pri Para's Sophie ♥ She's my favorite character from the series and I absolutely love this figure of her~ The dress and everything looks so pretty!

Nendoroid Co-de of Mireille, also from Pri Para :3 I find the character's personality a bit annoying, but I must admit that I do love her character design and thus she's just adorable as a figure XD This pose is just perfect, I think GSC nailed it!

Lala got her two friends home, now I have the complete trio~ ♥ I'm not going to buy the other characters, since I don't really like them... These three are cuties enough for me ^^

Umi is the newest addition to my family of Love Live Nendoroids >:3 Now I'm only missing Maki and Nozomi, which will be released in this month and October.

I also got this cute pinched rubber strap of Saber ♥ I've lately become addicted to these straps, now I only wish to come up with a way to display them nicely~

***

In other news, tomorrow I'll start studying Print Design in a vocational school ^^ I'm really excited (and nervous!) since this is something that I've always wanted to study, but never had the courage to actually try! I've designed websites, made graphics, photographed and edited photos since I was like 10 years old, and always dreamed of becoming an educated graphic designer, with the knowledge on both digital and printed media (the latter I've been lacking so far). This school will mainly focus on printed media, but I believe there will also be some courses on digital media :)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it~!

    1. Kiitos paljon ^^ Tämä syksy on tosiaan jänniä muutoksia ja uusia asioita täynnä~ Koulu vaikuttaa ekan päivän perusteella tosi mukavalta kaikinpuolin! Kotiaiheisia postauksia varmasti on tulossa, meidän sisustus ei ole ihan tyypillisintä Kotivinkkiä kun kaikenmaailman otaku-kamaa löytyy joka puolelta ^^;

  2. Glad to hear the move went well and yes, I'd certainly be interested in an apartment tour! And home decorating posts. It might inspire me to spruce up my own place. I'm forever on those DIY home craft sites trying to pick up some ideas and inspirations to make my house a bit less bland.

    Congrats on the arrivals! These are the times I really wish I could get along with Nendoroids and collect them. The only one I had I ended up trading with a friend for her cu-poche as she wasn't a fan of them. It worked out well. However, Mirelle's character design is so cute that I would seriously consider breaking the "No collecting Nendoroids" rule for her. She is tempting and colourful.

    When you get it set up, I'd love to see your Nendoroid collection display space (but only if you have the time!)

    Your new course sounds interesting. I was interested in Print Design too back when I first came out of high school and wanted to be a graphics designer but, my small town university didn't really have much in the way of those sorts of courses back then. They did build a media center several years ago to host those types of courses though, well and truly after my time. Typical.

    Let us know how you find it. I'm sure you'll do well and enjoy it.

    1. Great to hear that, I'll surely make some home related posts at some point ^^ I also love browsing through different sites and pictures of people's homes in hopes of finding ideas/inspiration for decorating~

      Thank you ^^ Hahah well on the other hand you can be happy that you don't collect Nendoroids, as they can get quite addictive and you may end up owning more than you had planned XD I still hope there'd be more Cu-poches of the series that I'm familiar with...

      Oh I can definitely show my display for Nendoroids and other figures when I get them displayed :) We still need to get another shelf from Ikea, but once everything is set up I can show pics!

      Ah, that's a shame :/ I luckily live quite close to our capital where there are many different schools and all kinds of courses. There are also education possibilities for adults that have been working many years already and maybe want to change their career. There are things that I hate in Finland, but the education system is one thing that I'm happy about.

    1. I'm sure I'll post pics later when everything's more finished ^^ Decorating really is so much fun, I love decorating everything and my home is no exception~

      I think Pri Para is meant for kids and I don't know many adult fans of the series, but who knows how things are in Japan ^^; I do enjoy the series, it's really cheerful and cute. I do recommend checking it out~

      And thank you! I always get super nervous in social situations, especially when facing completely new people, but everyone seems friendly and there is an overall positive atmosphere at the school :)

  6. How wonderful it must be to finally settled in the new apartment and with the new studies coming up it must be like a real adventure Safir. Love the little Nendoroids, they are so cute!

    Hey, with your background in digital media, you should find the course a breeze and extremely interesting. My hubby and I ran a printing company for 12 years and I loved designing corporate image and preparing layouts, but it can be a little frustrating (almost stifling) at times working to other people's briefs, especially when your creative side wants to explore a little. :)

    Hugs,

    1. Yup it's all really exciting and feels like an adventure ^^

      I'm sure this school will be fun! I've noticed on the digital side already that you can't really show your true artistic side when working with customers, so I believe it'll be the same with printed media as well. We'll see if I end up fully pursuing this as a career :)
