happy birthday to us!

[espresso]

If Wikipedia's to be trusted, today is Itoshiki Nozomu's birthday. It also happens to be my birthday as well, which gives me -- or us? -- a very good reason to crack open a box from Re-Ment's Mini Sweets series.




Re-Ment has a lot of series with birthday cake in it, but I chose this particular one because of the volume. I usually don't look at Re-Ment US series because of the scale, but for things like this, big is better.



Some people like throwing birthday parties, but I don't care much for parties myself. Sensei takes after me in that regard.
Actually he's wondering who the hell these people are.



The birthday cake is very girly and has five candles on it for some reason.



It is also precut! Despair.



The balloons are cute. They come on sticks that you prop up inside the opened gift.




Fwoooo.



This set isn't bad, but I'd like to get a smaller birthday cake next time. The cake series on sale later this year has a birthday cake. There's also a cute birthday cake in the last Hello Kitty series they released, but Hello Kitty cake is...




The leftover cake won't fit in the ref. Despair.



For his birthday, I got him bodice rippers books. The ingenious En found a way to bind them properly, while I did the covers.



I couldn't find a way to make him hold them without making him look like he's smelling them.



The alcove looks a lot better with books! Must make more of them.



Ingenious En also made me paper bags. It pays to be neighbors with geniuses.



I'll leave them like that for the rest of the day.

Happy birthday, sensei! Getting you was probably the smartest thing I did this year. You make me feel a lot better about turning old(er), too. Hahaha.



See you around.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I love the party hats and cake. The books + paper bag look great. *___*

My favorite shot is the leftover cake not fitting in the fridge. LOL!

Thank you~! (I'm sorry I haven't been commenting! I actually have a picture for the handwriting meme! I just haven't gotten around to posting yet.)

Yeah, I actually had the same face when I was trying to make it fit inside the ref. I had no idea the cake was that big, hahaha.

Happy birthday!

(Every time I see your nendoroid posts I get that much more tempted to buy one...all those miniature objects! *____*)

[espresso]

Thank you! (I think I would've gotten into miniatures even without a nendoroid; some of the pieces are really impressive! I browse this group a lot: http://www.flickr.com/groups/re-mentaddicts/)

I want to live in Sensei's house. It looks so much better furnished than mine.

Same here.
If Phat company comes up with a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom, we're in trouble.

It's still 11/04 where I live so... Happy Birthday!!

Your miniatures collection is so full of awesome I don't even know where to begin. The books and paper bag do stand out as being exceptionally awesome though. Wow!

Miss Miyuki! Thank you very much.
I'm all thumbs when it comes to 3D, but fortunately I know someone who loves making miniature stuff. She was also the one who made the small carton boxes. I can never come up with that on my own; I'm too lazy!
