Thank you thank you to IZUMI!

The wonderful Miss Izumi-chan was a complete sweetie and sent me the original Danboard all the way from Japan because she knew that I really liked it! Ahhh what a sweetheart! It arrived in the mail about a week ago, but I didn't really get a chance to post up photographs of it until now. Ahhhh, Izu-chan, you don't know how often I play with this guy haha :X I am such a little kid :] I will take a lot of photos of him for you yes?? :] Miss you missyou!! :D [hughug]

Also, a week or two ago, I was having kind of an icky day when I found the nicest email from a Miss Audrey Dao :]

Hi Chiara!

I just stumbled across your blog, and I absolutely love it! Your photos are so pretty. I wish I had the skills and knowledge to be able to take pretty photos like you. Sorry for this random email, but I just wanted to let you know how much I love your photos.

Hope you have a great week!

Thanks for taking the time to email me Audrey! :] I must say that I feel quite special when my readers leave me messages be it in the form of comments, chatbox, or email xD It was quite encouraging to hear your nice words :] It definitely brightened up my day :D Thank you x]

Further thoughts:
My blog has underwent many changes over the years -- it started out as a space for my random thoughts back in... 2007! and since then it's gone through many changes! From just a personal outlet to a makeup/fashion/beauty blog, and then it became my photography blog for my 365 project, and then reverted back to a space for my random thoughts again, this time incorporating my photography :] I suppose what I am trying to say is that I am surprised that people still stop by my tiny corner of the web and find it interesting even if I'm not writing about beauty or fashion-- though, I'm kind of satisfied with what my blog has become :] In any caseee, thank you all for sticking around it has been a blessing to have such a supportive online network of lovelies :D

I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving with your loved ones :]

-Chiara


PS: I had originally written this post on Nov 21st but didn't post it up because my internet wasn't working at the time haha :X I feel like the timing of it is kind of weird but maybe it's just me being silly.
