the from me to you give away winners

thanks to everyone who participated my give away!! i'm going to announce the winners on youtube very soon ^^

i enjoyed reading all the mails... and because of all your feedback, i know somewhat about what you think about my channel and video's... it really helped me out and i'll try to do my best, to keep my videos as best as i can ^^

in this post, besides thanking you all, i would like to answer the questions that has been asked in the entry mails... (the questions might be edited a bit by me...)

can i request diy (tee) tutorials?
ofcourse you can, but i just can't guarantee you that any requested videos will be made, because ie. i don't have any tees lying around... and because i lack time... i've been very busy ever since i started working...

what are you majoring in school, if you are still attending school?
my major is communication and multimedia design... i studied for interaction/concept/functional design... i'm more focused on user centered design...

can you show us things for guys?
i don't have any guy-diy ideas... and i tried to find more guys that would like to participate in my videos, but they are so hard to find... i sometimes, still blog about guys clothing, if that's what you are interested in, i will try to blog more about guys clothing too...

what other stuff can do besides clothes and folding origimi?
hmmm that's a hard question... i'm actually not sure what else i can do... :x


why don't you talk in your videos?
first of all, it's because of my accent, it's probably hard to understand what i'm saying... second, i'm not a very talkative person, i'm more if a silent thinker... and i have a slow reaction... when i think of something to say, it might take up to a few minutes before it actually comes out my mouth... and third... english isn't my best language... so that makes it even harder to spontaneously talking in english...

why is the quality of your videos so low
it actually has improved allready since i got my new laptop... i can save as better quality, but i couldn't get it online... i tried several times... and also... i noticed that the quality is slightly reduced after uploading...

can you list in the description box where to get the materials you use?
i'll try to from now on, but i think that all my used items can be bought at a craft store or fabric store...

can you tell us what song you used?
i'm allready doing that... most of the time, i list the used songs in the description box... sometimes, it just happens that i don't know the exact song name or artist...

where are you from? you look asian...
i am asian... i am chinese, born in the netherlands. my parents are originally from hong kong...

maybe you could do some fall / winter /spring /summer fashion video?
yes, when i have the inspiration i would like to make those kind of video sometime... ^^

can you speak? i would like to hear your voice...
actually i allready have a talking video up, it was my introduction video...

can you do more ootd videos?
i want to, but sometimes it's just not interesting enough to show... i really have "periods"... ie. i'm really loving shorts with knit tights at the moment, and i'm trying to wear that same style as long as possible... till i get tired of it, or just till it doesn't fit the season anymore...

can you do make-up videos?
i can only do hauls and reviews, i can't do tutorials... first i'm not that great with make-up... and second, my video quality is just too sucky...

what is your dog's name?
his name is ka lee (he has a chinese name), ka means home/family and lee means going well/smooth...

did you know that bird's wouldn't be able to fly if they sweated?
no i didn't, i actualy didn't know birds would sweat too XD thanks for letting me know about this funny fact ^^

do you wear the things you make?
yes i do... ^^ i especially love my oversized bow top... missing the nice weather, so i can wear it out again...

where would you like to shop?
that would the us!! i see so many great hauls on youtube... and they got stores over there which we don't have here...

where is the best place to shop?
i have to say online... online i can always find what i want... and shopping in real stores, it would be just a guess if i would be able to come back home with something...

where do you get your inspirations everywhere and nowhere... sometimes i get inspired by the things i see around me... and even the things i already have in my closet... i'll be thinking, wouldn't it be great if this would have different sleeves... i'll edit or remake it if it's possible... so i can change something more to my own likings...

what bands/music do you usually listen to?
i'm really loving advanced 7 fold at the moment... and i like... lmf, mika nakashima, tokyo jihen, shiina ringo, hyde...

how are you so pretty?
i actually can't answer this question, pretty is just an opinion... so instead, you should ask yourself, why you think i'm pretty, then you'll have your answer ^^

what made you decided to create a youtube? was it for hopes of becoming a guru, or just out of unintentional fun?
i was just curious when i first started... and i thought i could do a video, that no one has done yet... and i was actually pretty surprised with the positive comments... so i decided to do more... and more... and more... and it's also a lot of fun to do it... great way to kill time when you have to much time on your hands...

do you like anime?
yes, i do... i haven't really watched many though... some of my favorites are nana, fruits basket, full metal alchemist, scrapped princess, midori no hibi, great teacher onizuka, golden boy...

out of all the different types of video's you do whats your favorite?
my diys, it's like releasing my creativity... experimenting... and after that it would be my ootd/outfits, i love to dress up, when i have the time to do it... ^^

have you ever dyed your hair? ^^
i tried to home dye it once, but my hair didn't adsorb the color... what i have now is my original hair color... and i'm not planning on dying my hair, just because i like it natural... and it's more healthy ^^

whats you most favorite food?
that's a hard one, because i love food so much... i got too many favorites... i think it would have been easier to ask what i don't like to eat :p

what are to places you would love to travel to?
i don't have much knowledge about traveling yet... but i would like to travel to all the peaceful places... places with a nice view, or places where i can shop, places where i can enjoy myself... etc. (it feels like, i haven't actually answered your question... i'm sorry XD)

are you going to be doing more hauls?
i probably won't do more... but... i'll keep doing them... i will when i got nice new stuff to show ^^

what part of china are you?
hong kong ^^

how old did you turn?
