Happy Birthday to me

Hi again!

Back so soon, I know.
Well last saturday (9th June) was my birthday. I turned 29 and am feeling quite old at the moment.
I had fun! I didn't have a regular birthday party this year, instead we had a lolita gathering. The reason for that was that on that exact same day there was an International Online meeting scheduled and because we thought it was a fantastic idea, the Portuguese community really wanted to join. In light of that happy coincidence we ended up having both events in one.

It had to be in someone's house for technical reasons so we just crashed my own. I asked the girls to help out by bringing food and drinks because I knew I wouldn't be able to feed them all. They actually brought more than i thought and i ended up drinking coca-cola for this entire week. I think there's still some left haha. Oh dear not good for my figure and health!

Anyway everyone arrived really early so i ended up having to get dressed quite fast.
We just laughed and chatted a lot until 6pm (scheduled time) and it was fun. At 6 we turned on the webcam and begun the chat experience. I've got to say it was somewhat disappointing in a way.

Yay for Portuguese lolitas!

We were expecting people to be a lot more organized, to have some guidelines on how to conduct the event and also that there would be so many people wanting to join in that we would have to browse a ton of different rooms to meet everyone. That wasn't the case. In fact i think some people weren't even in a group and i hardly saw anyone carrying their country's flags like requested.But on the other hand it was fun to see all those people and i saw some people i admire and like a lot. Everyone was really nice to me as well, they all sang me happy birthday and i ended up crying like the baby I am. So other than the organization it was amazing and i'm sure that, in time, this idea will grow and turn into something a lot more fabulous! I absolutely recommend taking part in it in the future.

Anyway after that we took the obligatory outfit shots and ate birthday cake, blew candles etc.

I really like this photo and i love those sparkly things too, i'm like a kid!

Cutting the cake! I know plastic tablewear is not very fancy but its practical!

 
It was also a European Championship game day for us.We went against Germany and lost. Upsetting, not the best birthday gift from my national team. haha

What I wore that day. MmM dress, Meta bows, Handmade headdress, IW cardigan, VM underskirt, Bordello shoes. <3

Silly face from someone who was happy. Thanks for the awesome party guys!

My presents include: a boater hat, a new bag, a pair of argyle socks, necklaces, a little pet shop blythe, stationary, the new G&lolita bible, Diablo III (YAY), a lovely angel box with bath scented foam and shampoo etc. <3

I also got myself some lolita things (small things) but they hadn't arrived yet so i'm not including them.
