A couple weeks ago Jeffry and I expanded Byakuya, our land. I had around 5200sq meters previously - and when a neighbor moved... we decided to pick it up. So now - Byakuya is 8832sq meters, which is more land than I've ever had - and I'm officially paying enough tier for my home and my store to buy my own homestead. xD

But anyway. Jeffry has been on vacation for a couple days, so I've was amusing myself with playing with shadows last night. I landscaped the house earlier in the day and was so excited with how it came out... though I wish the awesome rocks I put down were phantom. Like omg - why would you make non-phantom sculpted rocks? And no mod at that? :O

I downloaded the new Kirsten's S18 viewer, hoping I can get some shadows, because her previous viewer's didn't give me any shadows at all. I downloaded it, installed it, and ran it - Yay! Shadows! And instead of getting 3 frames per second, I get 6-8 now! \o/ So I roamed around the house, looking for good shots.

I think our house is beautiful. I don't think Jeffry liked it at all when I got it, but I think he's coming around to it. xD Its a Barnesworth house - brand new, and I don't think its in the store yet. I was roaming around the sim looking at the houses when I spotted it, and it had a info board, so I bought it from there xD


I really love SL shadows, its amazing how such a normally boring picture can be brought to life with a couple shadows.


There are 2 main rooms in this house, one which is the bedroom - and another which is a huge, huge room. The huge room, I made into a hot tub area, sitting area and little mini kitchen. Sounds weird, but I think it's positioned well enough to work :D I was also so excited with this house, because I purchased one of those Intan Couple Poseball things. You load your couple's poses and dances in there, then it rezzes a set of poseballs for you when you click it. I've put some dances and some.... other couple's animations in there as well. Less clutter \o/


The bedroom. Jeffry brought this black and red bed with him when he moved in with me, which he was absolutely insistent on using. So, I had to plan the house around this bed, which is where my black and red theme came from... which is shown throughout the house. On the other side of this picture is a fireplace, and a small sitting area. ^^


Outside, with the non-phantom rocks. Seriously - WHY no mod? :O Ah well, the things we sacrifice for pretty landscaping items. :D


The pond. Jeffry wanted koi, and at one point probably had at least 20 physical koi in this tiny pond. I pleaded with him to get less laggy fish, and pleaded, pleaded, pleaded - until he eventually got frustrated with me and got some little flexi fish that swam around in circles. :D


This is where I spend most of my time. The chicken coop, where I keep my favorite chickens. I took a couple pieces from the barnesworth house - and modded a chicken coop from it - I think it turned out absolutely awesome, and I totally love it. Its perfect, and matches the house even better than I imagined it would. I just wish I could get those ugly blue lights off of the radi-o-statics. Looks like I'm breeding radioactive frogs under black lights or something :/

My two favorite things in Second Life right now: Jeffry, and our little family of chickens. I wrote about Jeffry in my previous post - now, I'm going to write about all the things that happened with our chickens within the past couple days.

I was literally being dragged to some stupid family event on July 4th. Which, I absolutely hate going to family things... so it put me in a really bad mood for the days leading up to the Fourth, because I was really dreading it. The day came - and I was feeling extremely irritable. Jeffry logged on, and I was still really down and irritated at everything. So, I went to take a shower for the family BBQ, and when I came back - he had a couple surprises for me. :O

Two 2nd Growth Ancient SionChicken eggs! I've been itching to buy some for weeks, but he would never let me - saying to "wait" and stuff. And, with the recent sprout of Ancient eggs among my circle of friends, it wasn't really helping my impatience to get an ancient. I've been really wanting one - so I was soooooo excited he got some for me. I yelled at him a lot (the poor guy), but I was excited, and somehow didn't care anymore about the BBQ. xD

We both waited by the chicken coop for 2 hours, waiting, waiting, waiting for them to hatch before I had to leave... begging to the eggs to give us a male and female pair. We waited some more, clicking the egg every 30 seconds, and then first one hatched. A female! we were soooo excited... until the second egg hatched to be another female. So, I told him that when I come back from the BBQ, we would go out, and I'd buy a couple more (we were determined to get a male and a female at that point, and they were reasonably cheap).


So, try number 2. I picked up 2 more 2nd Growth ancients - and one original double bright ancient. Out of a total of 5 eggs, at least ONE has to be a male, right? xD

We waited and waited again. The first one hatched - female. A couple minutes later - the second one - a MALE! Yay, it was so exciting. :D And then, the original ancient hatched to be yet, another female.


So, on July 4th, we welcomed Farrah, Mai, Eve, Danielle and Tyler to our chicken family. :D

So, a lot of stuff happened within the past couple days, I'm going to be splitting this post into 2 posts - one for Jeffry, and one later for the stuff that recently happened with our chicken family :D But first, a random picture I've been hoarding.... I love this picture, its soooooo cute.

On Saturday, Jeffry and I were cuddling, which is my favorite part of the day - when he passes me a gushy love letter notecard which really made me cry - even in real life, it was very sweet. Then, shortly after that - he gave me an object and told me to put it on - which turned out to be a necklace he had gotten customized to say "I love you Sai". It was sooooooo adorable, I yelled and screamed at him for doing something like that - but inside I was totally excited and wasn't sure how I can be any happier. :D

But, next thing I knew, he was asking me to get on some poseball with him. Yay, more cuddles! I thought. But, no.


I knew he wanted to 'officially' propose to me, because he wanted me to remember the day, and for it to be special - but I didn't expect this. I loved it, and was so great. Jeffry is so important to me now in SL, I'm actually extremely excited to get married to him. He's been wanting to do the formal proposal for a while, and now we can start planning the wedding. \o/ I was sooooooo happy, I mean, can life get any better?

Yes. Before I answered a huge YES to him, he told me to check my email inbox. And there it was.... a partnership request. :O My internets was having huge fail - where every time I hit "Accept" I got a 404 Page not found error on the Second Life website. :( Even when he sent me a second one - I got the same error. So, I sent him one - and now....


I'm so excited. OMG, every time I look at it I get all girly, giggly and happy. xD He wants to start planning the wedding I think, but I really have no idea where to start :O I mean, in RL - you can look through the phone book and stuff to check out a wedding planner, or something - but SL... is not that easy. xD I'm so excited though. I mean, I never really imagined myself to get married, didn't think I wanted it - but now, I can't wait. I seem to be becoming quite the domesticated girl, aren't I? :O



And, a silly video I took of us dancing in our bedroom. And, he looks so freaking adorable in his fedora hat he picked up when we went to the hair fair together. xD

But its funny - I thought I was happy with other guys I've blogged about. But no guy ever made me feel the way Jeffry does. He is so sweet, we are looking for the same things in SL and RL - and is perfect in almost every way. :O I can say with confidence - that its been almost years since I've been this happy in SL. :D

More chicken adventures! With my hen Hana, popping out eggs every day or so (sometimes even twice a day!), I've gathered quite a few eggs from her. I've stuffed them in Proteggtors, but they just keep coming, and I'm unsure what to do with them. After reading a blog entry I seen on my feed, I decided to check out the Chickens sim, to see what they have there. I came across tons of booths, and little pieces of land where people raise their chickens. However the booths caught my eye.

Wouldn't it be cool if I could set up a vendor and sell some of the eggs my chickens lay? I know my eggs are common, boring and not as pretty as anyone else's, but the booths are cheap, and it would get a few eggs out of my inventory. After thinking about it for a couple hours, I finally decided to go and rent a booth to sell a couple eggs.

Jeffry and I wandered the sim, looking for an empty booth, and he eventually found one for me. We ran over to buy a chicken egg vendor, and I spent the majority of the night, and a good portion of this morning reboxing eggs, and setting the vendor up.

I'm calling my little booth [Featherings] and it can be found here. While I don't plan to make a profit or anything from it, I do hope it pays the booth rent, gets eggs out of my inventory and lets people get more variety in their chicken coloring collections. :D


But, the best part of my night last night was cuddling with my Jeffry. Its amazing how happy this guy makes me feel, I honestly don't think I've had this happy of a Second Life in many, many, many months. I love to cuddle with him and just talk about everything that comes to mind.

I told myself I wouldn't allow my blog to become all "omg this guy is so awesome"-ish, but I'm not really sure I can help it. Jeffry is the guy I want to keep, is perfect for me, has become my happiness and is a giant part of my SL now. :D

So, I'm tired of writing about guys, and them ending up not working out, for one reason or another. Its exhausting. I considered renaming this blog to like, Sai's SLex and the City, but that would be weird. I've been hurt, not taken seriously, and took on lovahs, but none has really been what I wanted, and we've broken up for some reason or another. Whether it had been by changing what I believed in, contrasting beliefs, or them not being happy. I've recently been called a player, but that's honestly not what I'm about. Really. :/

I made a decision to fully open up to someone, take a chance and see what happens. This person was Jeffry. We were friends while I was with Pnut, and he was there for me after I broke up with him. He puts up with my crazy ex boi dramaz, and laughs about it with me. And, he is probably the first guy I actually, really put my walls down for and let myself open up to.


He's extremely sweet, and told me what he wanted and believed in right up front, so I was glad there wouldn't be surprises later down the line. And, to make things even better, what he wanted in SL, was exactly what I was looking for as well. He was completely open with me in the beginning, told me how he felt, and was so patient until I allowed myself to fall for him. :P


This was taken right after we got engaged last night. :O Yes. Sai is officially engaged. He had apparently planned out this little thing - making me get all dressed up in formals, taking me somewhere romantic, and asked for me to be his fiancee. And, there was absolutely no wai that I was going to say no to this guy. It was so adorable, sweet and romantic, I loved it. I totally adore this guy. :D


I snapped this photo of the ring he gave me after he logged off. I am a little embarrassed to admit, but I was probably a lot more excited then I should have been last night. He does want to get married, and actually have a marriage ceremony on our land. I've never envisioned myself to get married in SL, but, it appears like - its really going to happen... and I wouldn't want anything different. My home has always been my most sacred place for as long as I've had one in SL, so, I'm totally ecstatic he wants a wedding in my most favorite place. :D

So, the adventures of Sai's chickens continues! Its been a little while since my last update. For a while, things were uneventful, just me waiting for my two original chickens, Hana and Ueda to reach breeding age so they could give me babies.

During that time, I was reading up on some new chickens, called "new wave" chickens, which could make glowing chickens and come in all kinds of colors. Of course, while I was at the Sion Chicken shop to grab some food, I seen 12 of these new wave chicken eggs for sale. And yes, I bought them.

I came home right after, to see my female hen, Hana, squatting , while all the male chicken was up, clucking around. Thinking she was sick, I clicked her, to see she was at 100% with an egg :O

I was so excited... until I remembered I have 12 new wave eggs I just bought. I waited, waited and waited for Hana to lay her egg, and then the grid borked - and I was suddenly logged out. When I was able to come back, she had laid her egg, and I had missed it. :(

I decided to go ahead and rez 2 of the twelve new wave eggs I bought. So, I sat and waited for all 3 eggs to hatch :D They hatched, I named them all, gave them new homes, all was good.

Until later that night, when Hana decided to punch out yet... another egg. Then another egg the next night, while I was sleeping. So, at seven chickens, I decided to get one of those Radi-o-statics, that keep eggs from hatching until you want them to.


So, my little chicken family consists of: Ueda, Hana, Sushi, Tatsuya, Kame, Sakura, and Naruto. They have several toys, I put myself a blanket to sit with them in their pen, and they are going through food like crazy. I might need to buy those breeder food packs now. XD

Yeah, I missed posting yesterday's BBBC post, but ah well. I've done pretty good so far. Today, I want to post about someone who has seemed to burrow himself my heart, whether I liked it or not.

He's silly, runs everyone and everything over while shopping, has no fashion sense, falls asleep on me, uses the dreaded chat speak (Yes, he spcks like dis 2 me), and is a total typo king. Totally the opposite type of guy I like. But, at the same time, he's someone I've grown to really care a lot about.

Once I got to know this guy, I discovered he was adorable, kind, sweet, treats me extremely well, loves to cuddle for hours, allows me to bring out the hordes of lingerie I have, lives in a freaking mansion/palace (no joke) :O, wants to be blogged about, and is willing to put up with my horrible lack of sexytime skills.

So, this is my new boi, pnut. :D

So, its been a little while since my last update of my Free Realms playing, and The Sims 3. I has pictures!

This is from Free Realms. I recently got a dog named Bella, and leveled up to a level 20 pet trainer with her. I swear, the Adventurer job is the most difficult to level up though. xD


The thing I hate most about The Sims 3 - is I could never find a house I liked, and was too lazy to build my own. So, when I seen this one on ModTheSims, I did a complete "OMG!" and ran around to download it.


It doesn't look it, but its SUPER TINY. But, omg its adorable.


I even plopped it down on my favorite lot, so it has ocean almost all around it :D


I love making my sims do stupid things like this. xD


And having the guy sim make the girl sim foods all the time. :D

OMG I almost missed day 3 of the BBBC. I'm going to be a rebel again and blog about something other than the topic :D So, I'll blog about - the finished ImpEle build! \o/

Yes, yes. Its giant, and there is a whole wall of emptiness. But I'm hoping to fill it up soon :D


Wheee! Flowers, flowers all over the place! Its summery, fresh looking, and totally fun :D


My poses actually filled up almost a whole wall :O

Today's BBBC assignment is to describe what I think a perfect SL day is. SL is difficult to do this with, because we can control so many aspects of our environment. We are able to control the weather, mute people we know will put us down, and we always look perfect, even on the days we feel like crap.

So, what would Sai's perfect day be like? I've created a small list.

1. No capped messages, and I recieve all my offline inventory offers succesfully.
2. Cuddles and a conversation with someone special (who, at this time, does not exist in Sai's life).
3. Time to check on chickens.
4. Putting together a fabulous outfit.
   
5. Somehow finding inspiration to make more poses for my store.
6. Feeding off that inspiration to blog the outfit I wore that day on my fashion-y blog.
   
7. Great conversations (most likely about buttsecks and tin foil hats) from my favorite girls in Ch'know.
8. My perfect SL day would probably include no releases or sales from any of my favorite designers. Because a Sai who doesn't have to run out and spend all her monies is a very happy Sai. :D

All that combined would make the perfect day for my existence in SL. But, I'm still happy with my life in SL as it is. :D

Yay, the BBBC has started, and I'm totally excited! \o/ I've been somewhat slacking these past couple days, because I wanted to have something to blog about for this week. I'm getting caught up on a lot of things I listed, dropped my build, almost done making my new pose set, and now I have a little spare time to breathe, relax and blog.

Something I've been wanting to blog about for a while - my little Sion chickens. It seems everyone has them now, and after lots of "OMG, my chickens just had an egg!" and "OMG, my chicken died!" conversations in Ch'Know group chat, I finally broke down, built a chicken pen, and rezzed the couple eggs I had in my inventory.

So, a lot of people already blogged pictures of their chickens. To be slightly different, I decided to go take pictures of my chickens by using Boy Lane's Shadow Viewer \o/

The chicken pen I made (if anyone wants a copy of it for their chickens - just poke at me in world). Turned out well, I like it, the chickens appear to like it too. They roam around, play with their little toy ball that Meara gave them, and cluck away.


I never thought that these little Sion chickens could be so amusing. It seems every day when I log in, I have to check how much food they have left, if they are at breeding age yet, and if they are both still contained in their pen.


I only have two right now, named Ueda and Hana. I didn't really want to name them after friends, because I'd feel really bad and guilty if somehow I killed one. xD They are only at 3% age, and I hear once they get to 4%, they begin to breed. So, hopefully soon, I'll have another chicken family member. :D


A closer view of one of my chickens. This one is my male, Ueda. I think the male chickens are ugliest, because they like, turn green and all different colors. But, he's still got his own charm that makes me luff the little guy. :D


Because the Shadow viewer pictures made them look really dark, I turned off shadows to get a better picture of just them. :D This was taken at the regions' normal night time, so they were both bundled together sleeping, which made for a better picture. ^^
