Gotochi Kitty: Hello Kitty Hiroshima

When I hear of Gotochi Kitty, the thing that comes first to my mind was Hello Kitty charms. It's just recently when I learned that Gotochi Kitty produces not only charms, but a lot more. They have Hello Kitty plush mascots, hand towels, bicuits, pens, mechanical pencils, etc.

This Hello Kitty Hiroshima plush mascot was included in a "Happy Set" I purchased from a friend in Facebook. At first I wasn't so excited about it because I'm not much of a fan of plush mascots. Apart from the fact that they're quite pricey, I didn't like those I saw online because they didn't have nice shapes. I was surprised when I got this mascot because it's shaped nicely and it's soo cute! Too cute it made me want more. :|

Hello Kitty in Maple leaf costume

Maple leaf is the official flower of Hiroshima prefecture. Since Gotochi Kitty produces Hello Kitty merchandise that showcases what Japan's prefectures are famous for, Hello Kitty in Maple leaf costume is born in Hiroshima.

When I've acquired more Gotochi Kitty from Hiroshima, I'd let you know. :)

Hello Kitty Loots: Gotochi Kitty pens, sticker sheet

Hello! :)

Recently, I've purchased two Hello Kitty (Gotochi) pens and a sticker sheet from a friend in Facebook. It was a cheap find actually because the pens -- tagged ¥525 ($6.5) each, were bought for only 120PHP ($3) each. The sticker sheet containing thirty stickers was 60PHP ($1.5).

• Gotochi Kitty pen: Gamagori, Aichi Mikan (mikan-tangerine)
• Gotochi Kitty pen (I don't know what it is yet - name to be followed)
• Hello Kitty sticker sheet - sticker features the different years of Hello Kitty from 1974 to 1983

I'm usually partial when it comes to buying Hello Kitty pens because of the fact that usually, they can't be re-inked, therefore, can't be used again once the ink's done. However, since these Gotochi Kitty pens comes with a charm (and a good price too), I thought this is still a good buy.

Cooking class : We baked! (Carrot cake and Pizza)

I've been attending cooking class every Monday since October. Yesterday's lesson is about baking cakes and pies. ^_^

Carrot Cake

I'm sorry about the photo's lack of artistic value. HAHA!

We made pizza and carrot cake! The pizza was gone so fast I wasn't able to take a photo of it. Hoho. ♥ This is my first time to make a carrot cake because mom haven't tried this at home yet although we've been planning to make some. I'm glad we made it at school last Monday. Success! Haha!

Next meeting we'd make chocolate mousse and apple pie. Excited to make my very own chocolate mousse because I'm dying to have some. ^_^

Gotochi Kitty : Shokotan

Shoko Nakagawa "Shokotan"

Hello Kitty x Shokotan

This charm features Hello Kitty as a cat holding a Shokotan plush toy. Another version of this charm is Hello Kitty as Shokotan holding a cat.

Shokotan has cats for pet that's probably why they've created a Hello Kitty Shokotan holding a cat. ^_^

*Apart from mobile phone charm, other Hello Kitty x Shokotan items were mug, pen and a plush toy. I want a plush toy but I can't afford one. Haha!
