beh beh 10/01/2011
oh, dude. did you forget what my daughter’s name is? here’s a reminder!
hehehehe. thought this was cute. we took dakota down to hyde park in south tampa to see santa on christmas eve. the place was off Dakota. we thought our baby needed a picture by the street sign.
not sure if i posted this here already. anyway, this is the hat i crocheted for dakota kai. i thought it was super cute! took a while to make just because i didn’t have the right needle size. i love it! too bad she didn’t. D’= than again, she just hates hats. no person thing against this one.
few more pictures. here we go!
her christmas card from peepaw! she liked the card more than the gift. she’ll like the gift more when she’s a little bit older. ^^; loved this picture. i had to post it! i just wish it wasn’t so dark. you can’t even see he hair! well, what little hair she has. xD
this isn’t the best picture to show it off, but bun bun got her ears pierced for her 9 month birthday. i think it’s super cute! beni was so afraid to get it done he actually left the room. i felt bad for him more than i did her. i knew she’d be ok, and she was. she cried a little, but at least she got it done young rather than older where it could’ve traumatised her. D=
family picture!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE PABILONIA/DUBOIS FAMILY! <3
blog vomit 02/11/2010
ok. this blog is just going to have random junk and not just one thing in particular.
nick fazio just posted this on facebook status. ”STOP POSTING SONG LYRICS!!!” hahaha… i couldn’t have said it angrier myself. oh wait. i could, but i won’t for the light-hearted ears (or reading eyes? whatever.) this has pissed me off for a long time now. i don’t know why, but i thought your status is supposed to be something that is up with you. not words of a so-called musical artist or whatever. but what do i know. on that note, i also hate it when people post stupid quotes or sayings on their status, blogs and/or twitters. it’s stupid and annoying. i don’t care what someone from family guy said in tonight’s new episode. honestly, i couldn’t give a fuck. and another thing that annoys me is when someone just reposts another person’s blog on theirs or just put a picture and call it a day. that’s lame and boring. and so are people who do this. post your own shit or don’t post anything at all. i’m done.
zombies. ahh yes. zombies. we finally get a glimpse at the new nazi zombie mode on call of duty: black ops. oh my god… JFK, nixon, castro and [insert mystery/unknown 4th member here] vs zombies??! xD i think when i found that out, i jizzed myself a little. it’s sooooooo dumb! but dumb in an awesome, brodeo, frat boy, high-fiving kind of dumb…and i like it! i’ve been waiting for news about this all year and finally it’s here! one week, suckers! ONE WEEK! don’t expect to hear from me a few days after its release. btw, i call JFK! xD
hopefully this won’t be taken down anytime soon.
got in an accident today. yeah. decided to put this in the middle of this blog rather than on facebook, twitter, or even on its own separate blog. i personally hate it when people publicly post about something terrible that happened to them. they usually just do it to gauge peoples’ responses, and i’m not that type of person. so why am i posting about it at all? because it happened, but it wasn’t a big deal. anyway, it was beni, dakota and me in the car. we had to take beni’s little acura integra because dad had the isuzu for his fishing trip. we had quite a few plans. those plans consisting of going to the post office, picking up a few things at target, getting a few goodies at the oriental market, and, the biggest of them all, dos tacos at tijuana flats. *sigh* never got our tacos. we waited ALL week too… we made it to the post office. we were so close to the us 301 and bloomingdale intersection. target is almost immediately at the turn. we were on the far right lane ready to turn when this guy in a huge pick-up truck with a trailer runs a stop sign. we weren’t even 50ft away when he decided to go. beni slammed on his brakes but we hit. )= i was so scared because the collision happened on our passengers side where dakota was. i remember seeing her head bounce as we hit. i was in tears! how could i not be??! my baby could’ve gotten hurt! luckily the driver didn’t just run. the whole thing got sorted out in a little over 2 hours. unfortunately all of it was under heavy rain. ughh… beni’s dad was on our side of town and was able to give us a lift. we are all ok, thank goodness! except for scarlet, beni’s car. or poor scarlet. she got banged up along her right side, tore up a nice chunk over the wheel and right where dakota was there was this HUGE dent. thank god dakota was ok. hopefully beni’s insurance can repair the damage.
dakota was surprisingly calm when we got hit. in fact, she was actually giggling and playing afterwards while we waited for the highway patrol. |8 what a little weirdo. xD <33
FINALLY watched scott pilgrim vs the world last night. don’t ask me how. i’ll be honest, it was talked up a bit much… BUT DON’T TAKE THAT WRONG! i still loved it. xD it was almost as lol-tastic as the comic. knives was a total cutie and wallace was probably the greatest thing to happen to that series. xD and i loved the fights! i was actually pretty impressed with the choreography. this coming from a former wushu laoshi and a huge asian action film fan. the ending could’ve been done a little bit better, but i’m not going to complain. it was still a fun watch and i do recommend it to the retro-gamer crowd.
i’m finally taking out the hair extensions i got from the RSKTKR and Midori shoot a few months ago. i’m sooooo happy! i really liked the longer hair, but the tape on the extensions started showing and i was pretty much always going out with a hat or bandana over my head to hide them. it was really embarrassing and it made getting dressed quite difficult. though taking them out has been a bitch. you pretty much dowse it with baby oil then pull out each strand of hair from it until the extension is off. very tedious. my arms are hurting from it. i still have a few to go albeit. *cries* someone, please punch the hair extensions off my head! (lulz to whoever gets that.) oh well. i will miss them. they made me feel hot. hahaha~ maybe i’ll get them done again someday in the distant future when i can actually afford it (i got it done free because of the photo shoot).
ok. before i get too boring, one more thing. been getting back to doing more traditional art. it’s been fun. i am in the middle of one painting right now. it was actually a test painting, but i kinda liked how the sketch turned out. maybe it’ll be wall-worthy. i can only be so lucky. btw, did i mention i’ve been painting on cardboard? a friend on deviantart recommended it to me and i am loving it! cardboard is free, abundant, and it actually holds up really well. i’ll have to post some pictures once i actually get something done.
all right. i’m done now. you may now resume your way more interesting life!
sending out an sos 23/09/2010
oh dakota…
dakota kai has this thing where she only likes playing with things that she shouldn’t. ie, cell phones, remote controls, glasses, medicine bottles, playstation controllers, etc. well earlier today she had both my cell and the remote in her grasps. she kept changing the channel on the tv, so i decided to just let her keep my cell phone and i’d take the remote.
how many of you can guess how much of a great idea that was?
i have the phone set so it automatically locks. i made sure that before i actually ALLOWED her to play with the cell that she would not be able to mess with it. well, of course, somehow she was able to unlock it. i was watching the tv and i notice that i hear a little voice talking next to me where dakota was. the brat freaking called someone! i didn’t look at who it was because i was super embarrassed to. so i just said, “i’m SO sorry” and hung up.
let me add before i conclude the story that when dakota is not happy she will show it. she has a hard time actually grabbing my phone so when she can’t, she’ll get frustrated and whine. if it gets really irritating for her, she might actually start to cry (acting cry. not tears-rolling-how-her-cheeks cry). this time she was crying.
after i hang up, not even 5 seconds later i get a call back. IT’S THE FREAKING 911 DISPATCHER! holy crap! the man had an alarmed tone. i guess he didn’t hear me apologise earlier since i didn’t actually have the phone up to my face when i said it. so all he heard was someone crying and the line being cut off. oh god… i had to explain what happened. he was totally cool about it luckily and he just double checked to see if everything was ok.
geez. i was so embarrassed. i remember the first time i called 911 as a joke. i ended up with a police at my door and a lecture for my parents. it would’ve sucked if that happened again because a mischievous 6 month old was pissed that she couldn’t pick up a damn phone. oy… i need to find a kids-safe toy that closely resembles an expensive electronic. don’t want that to happen EVER AGAIN.
DERP!

first off, HOLY CRAP! I’M. SO. MAKING. THIS! i should’ve searched for this recipe years ago!
oh my little kai! i love her so much!
the little one is finally over her cold! it lasted a little over a week and honestly, it was too much for me to see that poor little girl suffer. her wheezing was hearth-breaking for me. unfortunately though, kai fell off the bed again yesterday morning. i just remember hearing and thud, waking up, and not seeing her next to me. i freaked out. luckily she was conscious. if not i’d have to take her to the emergency room. ;A;
i called beni after dakota and i calmed down–i was in tears–and he was so upset that he wanted to call dorel asia (the people who were supposed to deal with our recalled crib issue) and file a complaint. well, he had better luck than me because he got straight through right away and was able to speak to a real person. he didn’t complain though since they were being so helpful. so guess what. instead of mailing us the piece that will prevent the crib’s drop-down door from dropping, dorel asia is sending us A BRAND NEW CRIB!! holy crap! that’s so exciting! and not only that, but the crib converts to a child’s day bed! omg omg omg!!! how awesome is that! i can’t wait for the crib to come in the mail. i’m so excited!
adding to the excitement, my daddy is actually coming home tomorrow!! yay! he was supposed to be back over a month ago but he postponed his trip back to finish more work in the business. that’s ok . i know he’s a busy guy. not to mention he’s so much happier here. honestly, i think the only thing that brings dad back home here is kai. xD he loves his cutie little granddaughter! who wouldn’t! <33 i love my daddy! can’t wait to see him!
little kai’s little man 23/07/2010
attending metrocon for the weekend. my sister is finally getting involved with the convention on her own and i want to support her! i just saw her fire show routine this evening. ZOMG! best fan routine i’ve seen!!! all the other ones tend to be stiff and boring. this one had buzzsaws off the wazoo! marvellous!
and kai met the man that she will be arranged marriage to! xD
they got along well. both have never seen another baby their age before. the little man on the right’s name is eric. he is the son of our old cast mate JC Collins and his girlfriend Jessica (who i actually knew from when i worked at teavana. xD) eric is four days older than DK so jc and jessica said that the two were destined to be together and that we should just sign the marriage papers now. xD these kids are so cute!
ahh! and i got back to tablet drawing! that damn thing is so hard to draw on!! and i suck at drawing with paper to begin with! well, enjoy! 
1st mother’s day 11/05/2010
it wasn’t too much different than say a birthday. you don’t feel much different. but then you remember why you celebrate that day:
crochet THIS! 03/03/2010
not sure if i ever mentioned it, but i am a self-taught knitter and crochet…er… that’s a word. crocheter. i just started crocheting probably back in december and i’ve already done a LOT of completed projects. i’ll be honest, i think i’m pretty kickin’ especially for someone who is teaching herself. i’ll find a pattern online, do it how it asks once, then i’ll alter it and make my own version usually to make it more interesting to look at or just so it adjusts to the “subject”. i think one day i’ll post my own patterns online. we’ll see!
i’m working on gloves right now. i always sucked at knitting gloves so i thought i’d try it with crochet. it is SO much easier. i don’ know. i think i might actually wear these crochet gloves once i make a pair that fit me. xD here’s what i’ve come up with so far. i’m almost done, but this is still the guinea pig glove formed from a knitting pattern.
used a size K crochet needle. i think it worked out ok. maybe next time i’ll use an I or J since i have small hands. i think that’s how it works. haha. see, still new to crochet! i’ll have to thank ash for the needles. she got them for me for my birthday and i LUUURV them! i might crochet her a pair even! that is if i ever finish her damn rasta hat… grrr….
