I joined in for April's Blogger Challenge made by Arora Zanzibar. Basically she will put a few pictures and choose one or more and try to recreate it in SL. I couldn't make it last month and I'm very determined to do it this month. And I did! I'm very pleased on how it turn up. I did a dark take on the picture I choose. Do check out and try if you like, it's fun to attempt recreating the pictures.
I damn hope I get my 13th black kitty for this picture.
What's better way to start blogging in 2015? Doing a yearbook picture! Honestly, because of the dress code in my country, we all had to wear uniforms. Making the yearbook pictures a bit bland. So I'm really excited doing this challenge, being able to portray myself in highschool setting-ish. I hope this challenge will be an annual thing to do! Happy year 2015 people! Thank you Miss Berry <3
There is a hidden protector of Faire Lands. Hidden within the shadows, she kept an eye of the dark wanderers that lurks in the darkest parts of each land. Blackwater Glenn seem to be the most popular spot for them to hide. The nameless guardian would have her staff on guard, calling her spell when she see a threat posed towards the Faire Lands. She would rather not be named, intending to fully sacrifice everything just for the safety of her mother land.
Heya guys! Since Fantasy Faire has almost close their curtains., I might as well do a blogger challenge! This is my take on Faire Folk challenge. Fantasy Faire will open their sims to public until sometime after Tuesday, so get going there and enjoy the pretty pretty built by the fantastic people! I'm so honoured to be apart of this event this year and would wish to do the same the next year. And so, I hope you enjoyed my first take of fantasy theme so far and be sure to wait up for the wonderful World Goth Fair coming up realllllll soon! Until then, my fantasy dollz~
Another of Miss Berry's meme! This time it's The Black & White Portrait Challenge. Me who is a love-anything-black person, I tried to do it as fast as I could. The challenge was so simple and yet I struggle so much during the process.
Meme Instructions: Share a black & white portrait (headshot) of your Second Life avatar. You can post a raw shot or process the image as much as you like. Don’t forget to leave a link to your image in the comments and also share it in the Blog Memes flickr group.
The styling I'm wearing is based on one my most favorite MV, Black by G-Dragon that I embedded the video below. I tried to bring out the air of elegance with a touch of rebelness just like in the clip. I've been sorting the outfit since last year and now I have the absolute perfect reason to finally display it in it's imperfectness.
Here is the original version of the picture.
Honestly, I felt like the Black and White version is so cool and it reminds me so much of an old movie that I can't remember the name now. But anyways, I'm so glad to try out the new tutorial that I got from Xanthe's meme. The picture looks better than the usual desaturation I did before. Thank you, Xanthe! <3
Also, I intentionally picked Wednesday to post since I'm kinda been a follower of 'Wear black on Wednesday'. If you're one of the fan of Adaams Family, you'll understand. \o/ Anyways until the next post my dollz~ <33
After I read Miss Berry's Introspection Meme as well as My Reflection post from her blog, sometimes I get that feeling where you look back into your life and wonders the 'what ifs'. Happens a lot to me especially when I go to sleep, I have a habit of over-thinking when I lay back on my bed and I know a lot of us do this as well. My avatar is what I wanted to be from real life, mainly I could express myself more virtually than in real. My friends always observe this habit of mine, where I'm pretty much spunky virtually but quite in reality. I tend to spend more time in games I play rather than going outside. I try to change this attitude but it takes a long time for me.
My avatar don't affect me much but I do really get addicted to SL too much. Of course with the semester examination is tomorrow and I'm here writing on my blog. [Get your damn ass to study Aarya!!] Hahaha! So I really want to make this one post before I bury myself in notes so get along now~
Meme instructions: Answer the following questions and don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments. 1. Regardless of your current number, how old do you actually feel? I'm currently 19 years old, which many consider very young. I tend to feel different when in situation, I feel older when I'm at college or with my extended family but of course, when your at home, your mom just would never stop baby you and perhaps that why I can never feel older than 17 years old at my own home! I learn that when you're away from home, you will learn more about being independent to yourself and start making life decision. 2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying, really what kills more than being a corner with your mind over-thinking about 'I should do that' 'What if' and those stuff. I don't know about you guys but that really kills me. Mainly why my friends call me brave 'coz I like to try everything that I can get my hands on! xD 3. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life different? Perhaps, having 21 years more to live, I would surely would everything to make my dreams come true. That is publishing my own manga and anime. [I'm an otaku, yeah] 4. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? I'm more into doing the right things in things. Yeah, of course I focus on doing it right as well. Get it? 5. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? I really am... a joyful simpleton. As to what my friends always see in me. I tend to relax even though there is something big going on and take it slow and mellow. And I pretty much hate that attitude of mine 'coz I become so lazy to do anything. Somebody please cure me! 6. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? I've been trying to be everything what I want as a friend. Being there and being joyful but always there when you're sad and all. Though I can't help but to feel lonely sometimes. I try to reach out when my friends need so but then I could never reach out to others about my own feelings until I reach the breaking point. Another bad habit of mine. :D 7. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? What I only remember 5 years ago is when I cried so hard that my dad commented about my grades. It wasn't what he expected. Now when I think back, it seem silly of to have a tantrum just from that. [*blush] 8. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? I think it was when I joined the national boot camp after high school. That 3 months period of extreme military-like work-out as well as meeting new friends from all parts of the country made me more aware and reflect in life since that was the first time I was away from home more than 2 days. 9. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? The answer perhaps is what every teenager would say, OH NOW I WON'T HAVE TO WORK ALL MY LIFE! Yeah... no. I might have that desire but I like to have that hard-earned money to spend on things I like so that I would appreciate it more. Plus, when you have everything that you want just like that, won't it feel bored after that when you have nothing to chase after? ;D 10. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? I could never choose. I love my family. I love my friends. My friend has been more than a family for me. I would probably make a huge reunion party and invite everyone that I have come across in my life, real and virtually, and thank each of them for making my life a meaningful one even it's just a small part. 11. What do you feel is the difference between being alive and truly living? Being alive: wake up, shower, eat breakfast, go to school/work, do your stuff in school/work, come back home, do more work/homework, watch t.v, eat dinner, sleep, rinse and repeat.
Truly living: You wake up from bed excited of you will do today and wonders about the challenge that throw in your path. Being able to do what you really want and being super satisfied from it even though you only accomplish a small thing in life. With all your creativity flowing out like water and being inspired by everything in life. Of course, loving people just the way they are.
12. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? In every way, we do learn from mistakes, even from when we were newborn until now, we learn. Of course, when we make mistakes, we feel guilty, shameful and powerless, those feelings isn't really nice things to have so I think that is why we tend to be so afraid to make mistakes even though it teaches us to be more determine cautious. 13. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? If the things are actually right thing, I would. Many things are done differently simply because of social pressure and such. People want that and don't want thing and blah blah blah. Communities think too much about what other think of them. In real, I could not do things as I like from family demand. I understand since I'm the only child so they want the best for me. In SL of course, I give a big, fat, GOODBYE and ignore them. Hehe 14. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Be happy and think more of yourself but never be selfish. NEVER! Since this is an introspection meme, I present an introspective cat! Bye now, see you dollz again!
Aww don't worry!! I will always let you catch the red dot!!
Hello there! It's been a long while since I last take up Miss Berry's Monday Memes. College is pretty taking so much energy from me. I can't wait to step down from being a part of the Student Council and finally make time for myself.
This time, I'm not alone for this challenge. I dragged my sissy up and we went into dressing up mode. Actually I'll confess to you guys. I literally almost lost my ability to dress up as a normal person and had my sis's help for it! Please enjoy the YinYang Sisters post this time! <3
Meme Instructions: Take an autumn inspired picture and/or answer the
following questions about autumn. Don’t forget to leave your links in
the comments of this post and if you take an autumn picture, please add
it to the Blog Memes flickr group. Thank you! <3
1. Is autumn your favorite season? Why or why not? Aarya: I live in equatorial Asian country so we don't have the similar 4 seasons as the Norths. But I always loved the colors of the autumn where the leaves changes and fall like snowflake.
Ruby: I love Autumn, it's the only season of the year where everyone get's excited about wearing new fashions, and I just can't wait to go out and buy my first Pea coat. 2. Do you call it Autumn or Fall?
Aarya: Most of the time I call it Autumn.
Ruby: I call it Fall. 3. What kind of weather does your area get during this season?
Aarya: During this time, the change of wind between North and South creates a raining season in my
country so it's constantly wet and cool. And sometimes it gets pretty cold at night.
Ruby:Where I live it's pretty warm during the day, but during the evening, it starts to get cold, really fast.
4. Which color do you always associate with autumn?
Aarya: Brown, Orange and pale Green
Ruby: Orange, Yellow and Brown
5. Which Autumn themed sim is your favorite at the moment?
I felt bad to dragging my sis until early morning while at my time is just early afternoon but she always said that she didn't mind and always loved to spend time with me. It was the first time that I tried to dress up as a normal person rather than my usual outfits of ex-convict, freak-ish or psycho-maniac when we go shopping. I hope to make more posts with my sis along. Thanks for reading! <3

She was baffled. Confused. Her faith was almost broken. She tried not to believe her eyes when she stepped into the foreign place that once she called home. Dust filled the air. Broken components scattered almost every place her eyes saw. The hospital that she was born to and gave birth to her twins was turned in a barricade. The satellite dish that was her town's pride was thoroughly broken. The streets were lifeless.
She almost dropped her rifle as she stared at the view in front of her. Dead, dry trees with black leaves hanging loosely. Houses had holes and most didn't look like a house at all. When she snapped back, she scolded herself for letting her guard down. She told herself that there might still be enemies around and she felt like she wanted to protect the last remaining of her town. For a second, her heart thought "If only I could turn back the time, if only the war was never started, perhaps I could still be with my family," She wept bitterly. Soldiers are not suppose to show emotions, but it seems this time was an exception.
She guarded her town fiercely. She scavenge the town thoroughly and used her damaged used-to-be home as her temporary barricade. Even though the home was little more damaged, the memories of it gave her the safe aura. At night she would dream of her memories with her twin and her husband. They were so vivid and she would wake up at the slightest noise or sound. "If only.... I stayed back... If only I didn't enter the military... If only.... I could travel back in time... I should stop myself from leaving them..." She tried to hope for the best for residences that lived there. She hopes they were perhaps has taken refuges somewhere. She tried not to think the opposite though it sometimes haunt her dreams.
The heavy rocket launcher felt light at her back which she used it to protect her back if there was a possibility of a sneak attack. Her muscular arms holds her favorite M-16 as if it was nothing as she points it towards a stranger. Who was he? An enemy? An ally? She was doing her daily inspection when she caught sight of a dark silhouette down from street. He walked calmly towards her. Too calm. She quickly aims her gun. His composure didn't waver. He was too calm and she felt anger. Frustrated.
"Stay down, soldier." he spoke. "I'm Lieutenant Dev, the one in-charge of this area. I'm sorry for you to see this town as it is and I assure that we have evacuated the residence before the enemies send a sneak attack on this area," She almost couldn't believe what she heard. It could be her family was safe. Her friends was safe. Suddenly, she felt the weight of the launcher at her back. Suddenly she felt an almost relief of herself. Her grip on her gun loosened, and she quickly saluted her superior. "The war is almost over, the president is negotiating with enemy to end it. And soon this town can be rebuilt," He cracked a smile with it in which she tried to return only to realized that she had not smile for a long time. For a very long time.
"Let's head down to nearby headquarters, you can have you rest there, Miss....?" "I-I'm Phantomhive, sir." She replied, she was used to be called with her number rather than her name. Her voice was hoarse and rough from her journey. She finally felt fatigue and wanted nothing more than to meet her family back. "Let's go, we would love to hear your story of being the only survivor of Area 64," He smirked and turned back towards where he came from. She stared at his back and dropped the rocket launcher from her back. Her body felt much lighter and she took a deep breath of relief. Exhaling, she imagined the face for her husband and her little twins. She looked up at the dusty sky and whispered, "Perhaps.... it's fine like this," Then she followed her leader with still her gun in her hand. Habits die hard. As she passed along street, she mused that if ever a time-reverser was exist, then the town would become the little quaint bustling town she knew.
Wow, that was a really long one. It was forever to finish and I totally apologies that I have't been doing any new posts lately since the project I was working on suddenly changed the deadline to an earlier date, and I was crazy to finish the project. The post this was inspired by the Writer's Block challenge by Simply Dou, and a little from last month's Independence Day in my country. Happy 56th anniversary!
My blogger friend help out as being the Lieutenant, and I'd say a handsome one too. LoL And so right now so grossed with Twisted Hunt and I will show some of prized, perhaps by tomorrow. After this, I'll be packing up for my travel tomorrow~ See ya again dead dollz

It's Monday and Ms Berry has a new meme challenge for us! This time it's about out favorite place on the Grid. I'll admit the places that I will showcase, are places that I only go when I'm stressed out and wanting some time-out since most of the time I usually hang out at my clan's sim or camping out at a Lucky Letter. I barely have time to explore much of the expanding Second Life because of my college time. I could only get on when there are events that I wanted to blog about or to some party that I wanted to go.
But enough of my annoying moans and enjoy my favorite places! <3
Meme Instructions: Share 1 to 5 of your favorite places on the grid. I feel like exploring and discovering new places. Share places you think everyone should visit and also tell us why they are your favorites. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments!
My fellow blogger friend took me to this sim when he was preparing for a blog post. I fell in love with this right away! I love the music here and often this sim is my gate-away from the dramas. I always found myself wondering around looking at new stuffs that the vendors and sometimes I sit down at the garden, just to enjoy the music and the pretty decorations. Beside the amazing elegant Victorian-styled architecture, the sim also has lots of shops that sells Gothly clothings that suits everyone's taste! Do visit the sim when you need some finishing touches of your Gothly attire <3
Never Totally Dead is a mainstore that sells Gothical decorative for houses. Also this sim was introduced to me by a friend that was following Midsummer Hunt back then and he tp-ed me over since I was moaning complained about not having the perfect background for a masquerade picture. And again I fell in love with the music they install here, I kept coming back just for it! They sells some pretty furnishes that would be a perfect additional to your homes. If you join their group, they give out group gifts of decorative products occasionally for you~
So there's a little insight of what I love on the Grid. I hope I can get in-world much longer and explore the dreams of other people as well. I have a long list of places that I wanted to visit during my holidays. I hope you enjoyed my little rambling of my favorite place, I wanted to see some of yours and adding up to my never ending list of visiting place. Haha!
What a better way to restart the day than a creepy Haunted Meme by Ms Berry! I had a nice week of packing and unpacking for a new semester of my college. I hope I can do better in this term and be more hardworking for my tests and all. Ganbatte!!
Meme Instructions: What are you afraid of? What are you haunted by? Share some of your fears and if you can, create an image depicting one of them. Don’t forget to leave your link in the comments!
Hmm... I'm very fascinated in everything dark-ish and scary. I love going to cemeteries and actually saw a ghost during my childhood (I won't tell the story though). I'm quite what they say a weird girl that like snakes and spiders, things like that. But as much as I love skulls, I just can't stand to see it in real.
Yes, I love skull prints but I'm deathly scared to skulls in real. I had a very very bad experience during childhood where my cousins prank-ed me on a blackout night. I still couldn't make myself to look at it anymore. What more, in one of the labs of college, there's a skeleton hanging there and my luck, I'm sitting right in front of it. Gladly enough, the skeleton is facing its side and I don't need to cover my eyes from fear. Though strangely enough in my previous blog post, I looked comfortable with skulls.
Well then, that is one my fears. I seemed to have fears with other stuff like being alone, having to lost my senses (like my right hand, it's my precious drawing hand lol), losing all my book collection and might be the biggest of all, having my computer memory wiped off. O_O
Hi, my name is Aarya Phantomhive and I'm an avatar blogger. In the month of June, I have completed and did the 30 posts in 30 days Avatar Blogger Challenge. Although sometimes I missed a few days, but I usually make up with a double post. So far, this has been the best month for me. Even though I'm a newbie blogger, I learned a lot by reading over a lot of other blogs that took part.
A big thank you hug to Vanessa Blaylock of iRez.com for her hard work and inspiration. Also to all of you who read and commented on my posts and put up on my sometimes crazy posts. Haha! I really appreciates your support and I will do my best to further improve myself.
I'm having a little difficulty with my RL life lately, I recently checked my result for my 2nd college semester and it wasn't pretty. I feel very bad and down because of it. For the truth is I never wanted to do this course, but since my mother insisted, I had to comply. And now I'm struggling very much since most of it is not my favorite subject.
I try to studying with my might, for my mother. But it's very hard, I'm not an intelligence person. Hell, sometimes I even forget what I had for lunch 3 minutes ago! But I know I have to complete this part of my life's journey. It's very long way more, I have to hold myself and continue what I have started.
Now who would knew there was a darkness behind a dreamy wonderland? Almost Wonderland show it perfectly, made me remind of darker Alice in Wonderland movie. it's my perfect getaway.
"That's a damn long way down"
"How will I fit in there??'
"Acck!!! I'm small!!"
"I hope I don't fall...."
"Would you like a tea? Brewed with blood?"
Goodness look at time! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!
