FINLAND IS THE CHAMPION!!

2011-05-15T14:29:00.000-07:00

I know most of you don't care or don't even know anything about icehockey, but for the 2nd time, after 16 years FINLAND is WORLDCHAMPION!
Just today they won against Sweden 6-1!! That's just soooo awesome that I shortly had to write it. I'm so god damn thrilled!

I don't like soccer that much, so Icehockey has been the only sports I have been watching on TV for the last few years. I've always been hoping, that Finland would win gold! And finally they did! (btw,I only watch it when the worldchampionships take place :D)

So, GRATULATIONS FINLAND! 6-1 is a historical number of score, a first timer in history to win that high in a final game!

ok annoyed you enough with Icehockey. Gotta go sleeping now 'cause I've got some aweful tests tomorrow.

1 Month to go, then I will have time to write more interesting entries again! Promised! ♥

Exams exams exams

2011-05-04T11:01:00.000-07:00

Hello dear readers!♥

I know I haven't been writing much lately.. but there is a reason for it and I'm writing now this entry to tell you.

I'm soon writing my final exams, so I have to study. Well, I haven't been studying really much this far and that's what I want to change. I have only about 3 weekends left until I have my first exams.

However it might be, as soon as my final exams are over I will try to write some more again. Most likely everything will be over in the second half of June.

So wish me luck! ♪
It has to work out so I can leave for Japan a few months later and maybe start studying sth ♥

Last Pics New York & other things

2011-04-16T12:43:00.000-07:00

Hello Dear readers ♥

I'll just make a quick post, with my last (fav) pics from New York 'cause I don't wanna make you bored.. :D

Like most of you know, New York has a biiiig Subway system. Well, nice and stuff, but we kinda got scared in there hahaa
It was just... just... like in a horror movie! It freaked us out! So that's how and why this picture got taken : D

What else.. We went to see Phantom of the Opera in our first week.. Gosh I tell you, it was just soooooooooooo awesome! Really loved it! If you haven't seen it yet, definitely go see it♥

In these 2 weeks we sometimes went quite crazy. So after some time we had sth we called our "stupid pose"
Here a picture of my friends:

To be honest, it wasn't a pose.. it was more like a move :D haha
you can see mine somewhat in the video. It's really stupid, so don't keep wondering haha
I wasn't even really styled, I never really was while being in New York, dunno why... (;D; )

This picture got taken only about 10-15 minutes after the video
yepp, still was kinda going crazy :D
We went to abercrombie and fitch, just to leave it being really upset so we could calm down in our beloved guess shop... :D

Squirrel! Cute isn't it?

Here one picture from new york with make up like I wear it for work and nearly not styled at all.. strange huh?

The last day we were in New York was St. Patricks Day. And NO we didn't know it. We didn't even know that there was a day like that! : D
Suprise Surprise, it took us about 2,5 hours to get to the airport when it normaly takes about 45 minutes! UGH! In effect we didn't really have time for shopping nor anything else.. just rushed to the gate and luckily still made it in time♪

Last but not least the view from our hotel room (the second hotel). Where the blue lights are, that's broadway.

Here one picture from last weeks saturday.
I will post some more in my next entry ~♥

Sorry for the really boring entry.. I'm just not in a mood to write much, just wanted to post the pictures.. sorry peops (;D; )

NYC Toys "R" Us

2011-04-07T11:44:00.000-07:00

Hellooooo dear readers!

I finally recieved the photos from New York today.. yay!

So now I'll be able to write some things about New York.
To be honest, I feel like starting with some of the stupid pictures.

How about Toys "R" Us?

Huh? What? no fun? Are you sure? Okay, true it might not be. It won't be until YOU make it fun!
It's a really amusing place to go. No not just toys, but fooling around!
The one in New York is just crazy! It's so god damn biiiiig! I've never seen a Toys "R" Us that big as the one in NYC! Just crazy.

So what do I mean with fun?
You don't know? So how about trying on some masks and just looking stupid?
Haha, that was just awesome!

So here's Super KK strong

And here Super NB Alfa!
haha : D
Jupp stupid names, just the first that came to my mind right now :D

What's so crazy about the Toysstore in NYC? If you're European you're not really used to seeing a ferris wheel INSIDE a store! That's really incredible and somehow really really crazy!
I already was amazed about the one on the top of a building in Umeda Osaka! O_O

So let's go on with self-entertaining.
How about plushed animals? Cute right?
Jupp they are, but sometimes they can just seem so heavy!
Ok, maybe I was just feeling kinda weak :D hahaha
GIANT DOG! (ﾉﾟοﾟ)ﾉ

My friend finally found her long searched companion! Her Unicorn!
She just wanted to escape when I took the picture of her ヾ( ｀▽)ゞ

Ok.. ok.. back to the Ferriswheel. It was already crazy right?
So how about a house, INSIDE a HOUSE? True words! There was a whole Barbiehouse.. gosh! Nothing inside but shelves filled with barbie dolls.. but still! It was a Barbie House!
I was a little.. "WTF?!" when I saw that

Err.. yes.. got nothing to say about that picture (^-^;)

Just like the ferris wheel and the barbie house wouldn't be enough, there even was a giiiiiant dinosaur! Jurassic Park! It even moved!
Check out the movie! Sadly you can't hear it making noise, 'cause I somehow only catched a silent part of it (;D; )

There were even some buildings made out of Lego! Empire State Building with KingKong! Wow! :D

So all in all.. Toys "R" Us might not be fun unless you make it fun!
Honestly, if you are ever visiting New York, just go there! We spent over 1 hour in that store just entertaining ourselves. It's worth it, really amusing!

That's it about the most stupid pictures о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

Purchases~♥

2011-03-27T09:33:00.000-07:00

Hello my dear readers!

I'm still waiting for the pics my friend took in NY.. but she told me that she'd send them on monday, so I should have them by tuesday/wednesday. We'll see ne

Meanwhile I'll post here some pictures of my purchases.
I didn't buy as many things as I had excpected. To be honest, I was a little disappointed of the shopping possibilities, but it might be as well, that we just didn't find the right places to shop. Of all the opportunities we had, I really loved the shops on 5th avenue. Unfortunately I'd have to be rich to shop in those stores (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci.. etc). We took a look anyway in those stores

One of my favorite stores was of course the biiiig guess shop. They told us, that it is the biggest one on earth. It had 2 floors, not bad.
But what surprised me even more, were the prices! I saw a watch there, which I had taken a look at in Switzerland. Here it costs over 400 CHF (more than 400$).. in NY it was exactly 200.-$!! I couldn't believe it! well yeah, there were still the taxes, but they're only about 8.8...%. So not that much..
But yes ladies, be aware of the prices! Taxes aren't included in the prices! I REALLY hated that! ugh! (-¬- );

But now to my purchases

Bought this nice dress from guess, of which I wasn't sure if it would suit me, because it really is tight. But I ended up buying it
then I bought one bag from guess too:

Here's what the dress looked like on me

Here then 2 tops and a shorts (bought 1 more jeans, but the picture will follow later on) I bought from guess as well. I really bought only these clothes from guess.. else no clothing at all!

Then I bought some powder from Chanel.
Ladies, YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS POWDER! It's GREAT!! It's nearly like foundation! and it stays nice for a really long time!

I just really love that powder!
it's the best to use it with the MAC skinbase.
First put on some skinbase, then foundation (I use one from MAC as well which I bought in NY) and for finishing the Chanel powder. I was sooooo surprised that it stayed nice for the whole day! I have never experienced something like that! It's really worth it

Further on I bought some skin cleaning products from Chanel, which I haven't tried out yet. I will maybe write sth about it in an other entry.
Guess sunglasses and guess perfume. My friend bought a special package from the parfume, and it contained one big bottle and a smaller one. I bought the smaller one from her for the pricediffrence for the normal one. So I ended up paying 10$ for it
The scent is really lovely

And surprise surprise, guess jewelery :D
oh oh, not to be forgotten, a juicy couture bracelet of which the lock is REALLY crappy.. I already lost it nearly once while clubbing.... (- - ;)

The most expensive thing that I bought is for sure this necklace.
To be honest I didn't want to enter the store, because I knew, that I'd end up buying something.. It was my friend who convinced me.. She was the one who REALLY wanted to enter the store..
well then, we did.. And I saw this necklace.. they told me the price and I was right away like "UUUGH!" but my friend said: "wow! that's not even that much for real gold and diamantes" so I was like: " huh? really?... ok"
So I ended up buying it (=¬= ) thank you N. haha : D

But really, I loooooove the necklace!

So that was all that I bought in NY..
I just bought some Yves Saint Laurent Eye shadow and a brush this week here in Switzerland..
Expensive, but worth it as well. The eyeshadow stays longer nice, it's easier to apply it and it "crumbles" less than cheaper ones do.

So that I won't just be posting pics of my purchases here some pictures I took yesterday.
I went to Zürich to visit my friend at her new appartment.. She really lives faaaar away from the city.. ugh! Horrible way there! Took me nearly 2 hours to get there!

This is a pic I took before I left:

Her apartment was really nice, but just.. just.. just... so FAR away! (;D; )

I didn't stay that long, only about 2,5 hours cuz of the long way home..

So when I arrived I took an other pic:

And then just a pic to show the diffrence when not having extensions.. so really short and less volume! I've got pretty thin hair, so it's a cramp to do anything with it.. (;_; )
Sorry for the really dirty mirror (^ ^ ;;)

As a last thing here a coordinate picture:
Shirt: d.i.a
Top: Dears
Jeans: Guess (the ones I mentioned above)
Belt: d.i.a
Necklace: Guess
Earrings: no Name

so that's it for today.
See you next time

New York New York 1. Part

2011-03-21T10:47:00.000-07:00

Hellooo dear readers!

So I've returned from USA with a terrible jetlag on Friday and Staruday
Rested even on Sunday because I was so damn tired! Ugh!

First of all..
my condolences to all the people in Japan who lost family, friends, neighbours or just their beloved home!
I'm hoping for all the best and I'm wishing, that it won't turn out even worse now.
I'm praying for it!

I was really shocked when I read the message from my mum on my phone. First I just thought, oh well, just an earthquake. Nothing too special. My mum uses to make big fuss of every little earthquake over there, especially when I am in Japan, but then she told me, that there were many deads! So I instantly turned the TV on in our hotel to watch what had happened.. JUST HORRIBLE!
Since then there was no morning when I didn't have the news on TV turned on.. my friend hated me for that!
I was really worried about my friends, but I'm happy they're all fine!

.... I know it doesn't fit now, but I really want to talk about some happier things..
First of all, a group picture of me and my 2 classmates I made the project with:

The day before I left for New York I even tried out the new lashes:

This is the result with a more natural looking make-up.
Didn't even really do my hair nor anything else.
I have reaaaally been lazy lately D:

That was my luggage. ONLY about 17 kg heavy! That's really rare for me!
In the background you can even see my beloved MA*RS bag!

So after we went to the cinema the evening before (watched Rango, nothing too special in my opinion) we went to the airport at 10am. I was kind of feeling sad because I felt more like going to Tokyo then to New York. Especially when I saw the flight to Tokyo just underneath the New York flight.
Right now I'm happy we went to New York and not to Japan, but to be honest, I really miss some people there (;_; )
That's what the TV looked like in the airplane. I instantly fell asleep until they brought us some food haha
The flight was quite ok, just many turbulances and these are just the reason why I HATE flying! I always get scared as hell! (=¬= )

Now, because I haven't recieved the pictures from my friend yet, here just some random pictures of our first days there. My friend is mostly in the pictures on my camera and the other way round, so I'm waiting to recieve those from her. Honestly, I was really lazy related to great make-up and hair-dos, so don't expect anything special. I have been feeling so down recently that I don't really wanna do great make-up and stuff!
Hope I'll get in the mood soon again! (;D; )

haha just everything in America was BIIIIIG! Related to food of course! :D

Because of changing to Gyaruraba, some of you might have noticed that I already changed the logo on the pictures. I'm working on a new header and until it isn't finished I won't change to Gyaru-raba. So please a little bit more patience. I'm working on it, although I'm now starting to get really busy because my god damn final exams are aproaching! (/_・。)

See you soon

Ugh Ugh~

2011-03-01T10:30:00.000-08:00

First of all..
I got to apology AGAIN!
I'm Really REALLY sorry for the lack of updates!

Well, now, what has been going on lately:

♥ Many exams at schools.. gosh! Every week at least 2! Horrible!
♥ Project Work.. We had to write some kind of project we will get a mark for (important for the graduation!)
♥I have been thinking a lot of the thing with putting together the blogs. I absolutely wanna do it, I'm just thinking of the best way to do it. Besides I want to start out with a new layout, or well, at least partly new layout. So it will still take some time. Maybe I'll get it done 'til the end of March.
♥Have been thinking of my year and Japan and my holidays and stuff. My next holidays, as you all know, will be in New York. I'm flying there on sunday! After NYC my studying months will start. I've got my first exams in May and still muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch to learn. So I gotta start as soon as possible. To be honest, I'm already a little late D: So gotta start working! REALLY!
I'm still planning on going to Japan for 1 year, but it seems like I will be going in December, if I'll get the chance to stay in the bank for 4 months after my apprenticeship has ended. Would at least be a great possibility to safe up even more money!
Well then, in summer I'd like to go to Finland for 2 weeks, but we'll see what chances I'll get.

So that's pretty much what has been going on lately.

I ain't having any reports of great events I've been to nor anything similar.
So just some pics from the time I visited my good friend J. in Geneva.
Ah btw, I'm sorry for not cutting the pics and stuff!
I'm kinda too lazy to do it atm.. have been editing too many pics for the school project.. so I'm a lil fed up with it.. besides.. that I'm REALLY tired now!

hahaha that's such a typical pic for me : D

Today we had the presentation of our project at school.. nothing special at all, but I at least took the effort to style myself a lil bit more than I've used to the last week. Have been so busy and lazy

So this was my styling today..
Btw, do u see my new mobilephone case? And the lil pink furry thing? awww luv it!

Before the presentations really started I took some pictures with my honey C. from my class:

and thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you CONNY!
recieved the package today she send me with the top I ordered with her and the lashes. It's from Galstar.

Sadly the top is a little transparent, but it will be alright if I wear something underneath
Front:

back:

and the eyelashes:
Still gotta try them out. Hopefully I get to do so before I leave for NY :D

Sooo
I hope we'll have some internet café near to our hotel so hopefully I will have the chance to make an entry. Otherwise that would have to wait 'til I'm back.

Ahh btw, does anybody know who SHE is?
I just absolutely adore her! I really loooove her style and wanna see more pics

Some News♥

2011-01-30T02:54:00.000-08:00

Hello dear readers

As I already said in my last entry, I'm sorry for the lack of updates!
I hope I'm not disappointing you too much!

First off I wanted to show you a picture from egg of February 2011.
It's a pretty small one, that's why the quality is thiiiiis bad when I scanned it a lil bigger
But still I kinda luv the pic

It's from Tsukicon 2010 in Helsinki!
I'm soooo happy I got to hug Aina and they even took the picture for the egg! You can't believe how happy I was when I saw the pic! Oh gosh

Although it's so small :D
Awww.. my first appearance in egg! So awesome!

Here's now the pic:

Then some further news.
As some of you know I have been thinking of putting my 2 blogs together cuz like this they lack updating (especially Gyaru-Raba). I made a poll for one month, and I'm happy people participated! Thank you very much!

So here are the results:
After the final result I have been thinking of whether I should really put them together because it makes me anyway kinda sad to think of stoping one of the blogs. But of an other point of view it's sad, if one of the blogs stays unupdated. So now, I decided to really put them together on Gyaru-Raba. I'm aware of the fact, that I might be losing some readers and I'm okay with it. But I still hope that most of you will support me anyway!
In future I will try to keep that one blog updated more often and keep the entries interesting. Before I put them togehter I will work out a new layout (I've gotten bored of the recent one already). I think that will take some time, so it won't be from today to tomorrow that I put this blog on Gyaru-Raba.
I hope I will get it done before my next holidays in March when I'm going to NEW YORK! Wow! I'm really happy to go there, cuz I've never been to America before. Happy happy happy and so excited!

What's more is, that I am thinking of starting my "puting-together-of-the-blogs" with a little give away. So watch out for it

Ah and by the way, somebody asked me whether I could do a review for circle lenses. That surely is possible, but I will be waiting until I recieved my 2 new pairs I recently ordered! thank youuu♥

So that's it for now

Finland~♥

2011-01-17T12:03:00.000-08:00

Hello dear readers!
I'm reaaaally sorry I haven't been writing any entries in a while!
I have no excuse for it, so just.. sorry

First of all..

HAPPY

BELATED

NEW

YEAR!

Then, yes, I have been in Finland in January, as some of you might know from Sascha's blog
So on Tuesday, 4th January, L. and me went from school directly to the airport to go to Finland. That's when we took this pic:
I'm hiding my face cuz I didn't want me to be photographed
But I think the pic is funny :D

Arrived in FInland (about 23 o'clock) we met my Uncle and Sascha. Didn't do anything really at that day, cuz we all were tired.
The next day we met, Viivi, Arttu, Tuomasx2, Lyck (From Sweden!) at Kamppi. L. and I couldn't really stay long because we went to the countrysides of Finland where my aunt lives. I really enjoy going to her place, because it's peaceful and I can really relax! Unbelievable, cuz normally I don't like it too calm!

Here a pic I took out of the car the next day. It was already getting dark.
Here an incredible picture I took with my silly cousin : D
He's just as silly as I am
My mustache is one of my extensions and he has got the rest of my blonde ones under his hat, just awesome pic! So stupid that I love it

Then here a really beautiful pic L. took in the morning of the 6th.
I was actually still sleeping

On the afternoon of the 6th we went back to Helsinki with my aunt. All my relatives (from my mothers side) were in Helsinki that day and we all ate dinner together. I was so incredibly happy to see all of them! Really! I enjoyed it!
At one time I was sitting on the smaller couch (for 2 persons) with 2 cousins. Suddenly there were all of the younger ones on that SMALL couch! We were about 8 persons! WOW!
And my aunt, she was laughing, cuz she was on the big couch (for 4 people) sitting all alone! :D hahaha so awesome!
Somebody should have had to take a pic! Sadly nobody did (;_; )

So on the 7th was a Meetup at Kamppi.
We went there and on our way to the Busstop L. took this pic:

Hahaha It looks soooooo stupid!
One could think I hit him in the nuts! BUt I didn't! My hand wasn't even near it.. :O
It's just the perspective and his face

One pic I took at the meetup:

2nd one. I was looking crappy, didn't style myself any Gyaru, so don't wonder.
Just post the pic cuz of Sini. She's soooo cute and I really got to like her as a friend this holiday!
Hope I'll meet her soon again. She's so lovely
I didn't stay so long because I didn't want to leave L. alone.
She's not into Gyaru and doesn't speak any finnish..
So I went to show her a little something of Helsinki.
We went to Tuomiokirkko:

Where she took this funny pic of me:

That's a typical KATRINFACE hahaha : D
We went on to the sea..
L. is a real big fan of it. So I made her the favour although I was freezing there cuz of the damn wind!
But she was really happy so it was worth it
Here then some pic when we went shopping.
We went to Tiimari and found there these ugly masks : D Had some fun with them :D *G*

When we finally went home I was really tired and started to freeze. At the busstop we had to wait for over 10 minutes and cuz I was so tired I wanted to sit down. The bad think was, the bench was damn cold!
So I sat down stupidly like this:
Originally we wanted to go clubbing that night, but we all were so tired and I started to have an headache, that we decided to stay at home and go to the sauna instead. So we did. We changed into our Bikinis and went into the Sauna with Sascha
L. & Sascha went crazy about it and even ran out into the snow about 5-6 times! GOSH! Those crankies!
I didn't dare to, cuz I'm always freezing anyway..

On Saturday my uncle went on a little tour with his car through Helsinki with us. I saw some parts of Helsinki I hadn't seen this far (although I'm even citizen of Helsinki : O). Was really nice.
Later we went to H&M.
Do you peops know the bad-taste game?
Yes? No?
Well I'll shortly explain it:
You stand in a circle with 3+ people. (we were 4, L. , Sini, Sascha and me). For the person to your right you choose some clothing for the bottom (skirt, leggins, etc). For the person on your left you choose something for the top (top, jacket, hat and so on.). It's not that you just choose something, no, it has to be as ugly as possible haha.
L. was standing to my right and Sini to my left.
So we all chose something for everyone and went trying it on in the combination we recieved it :D
It was soooo awesome! We laughed as hell!

Here's a pic of us three girls:

My outfit wasn't even that bad : D But had fun anyway.
I won't post a picture of Sascha, he can do it himself if he wants to :D

Then here's my favorite pic from the game with L.

On the same evening we went to an ice bar :O It was nice although I had imagined it to be bigger. So I was a little disappointed, but was fun though. Sini didn't drink a cocktail, she chose an orange juice instead. After a few minutes it had frozen up hahaha :D
For the night we went clubbin to Circus. Met some really nice guys there and I'm hoping that L. and I will get the Chance to meet them again♥

So that's it about Finland. As you can notice I didn't write that much and you can somehow notice that I'm not in the mood for writing either. I'm really sorry about that
I'll try to make better entries in future again.. (;_; )

Here's just a picture from last weekend before clubbing for the end of this entry:

Christmas Christmas and Nails~♥

2010-12-26T05:37:00.000-08:00

Hellooo Dear Readers!

I hope you all spent some peaceful and lovely days! ~

Christmas was lovely around here. It has been snowing! It's all white outside. My mum said that it hadn't been snowing on christmas since about 1986!
WOW! Christmasdays are the only days I don't mind snow :D Else I hate it, cuz it's so damn cold! (;_; )

Well I have been hanging around at home.. Yesterday I made some new nails. I made them more simple
But this time I really like them, they're so sparkly and stuff~

Sadly you can't really see that on the pic.
I made a 3D heart on my thumb and ringfinger. The one on my thumb (left hands) got a little too big, so I couldn't put all the rhinestones around it. But I like it that way. I twas really hard to make them on my right hand (what means that I had to do the 3D hearts with my left hand) x__X Difficult, but it worked out!
So I just took a pic of my left hand cuz my right is quite the same (just the hearts's size a lil diffrent)

So then here what I recieved for christmas.
From left to the right:
Shiseido Products (from my Father), Lady Million Parfume etc (from my Brother), Guess Jewelery (you can see the ring on the pic above, from my Mother), Shopaholic Mug (from a classmate), "Powder-spray" (from my best friend), Flight ticket to Finland (from my Mother)

Here's what's written on the mugs other side. Awwww it's lovely haha :D

And here what was in the lady million parfume box. The parfume, body lotion and shower gel.
I reaaaally love the parfume! It's soo.. YUMMY!

Tomorrow is work again (;_; )

So what did you get for christmas? ~♥

Merry Christmas everybody ~♥

2010-12-24T07:27:00.000-08:00

Hello dear readers! ♥
I know that my blog lacks a little bit updating right now. Somehow I didn't get around to do it or just didn't know what to write about, but I will be updating soon, PROMISE ♥

So I just came by to wish you all a Meeeeeerry Christmas!
Hopefully you all spend some relaxing and happy days!

And then here one of my favorite "Winter" songs! Kinki Kids - Snow! Snow! Snow!
I still looooove it! ♥♥
It's already 5 years old! WOW!
Hope you like it too ♪

Meeting Conny & Lenses

2010-12-14T08:40:00.000-08:00

Hello Dear Readers

The last weekend was a special one!
I finally met Conny!
I was soooo looking forward to meeting her cuz I love her blog and have been writing emails with her for quite a while now
To be honest, I was a little nervous, as I kind of always use to be when I meet new people for the first time. I had some time to buy new shoes before I met her (want to "redesign" them later) and then we met at Starbucks. I tell you, she's such a loooooooooovely person and I really enjoyed meeting her. We had so much to talk about
I didn't even notice how fast the time went by

So here some pictures we took together:

And she said she wouldn't look cute when showing her tongue. Bullshit girl! You're so daaaaamn cute!

I'm really looking strange in this one!
But it's still funny!

So I hope I will be able to meet her soon again~
Maybe even for a whole weekend! It would be so much fun

After that I ran for the "tram" to catch it and right after for the bus x__X
But catched both so I got home in time to get my things to go to Zürich. My friends there had invited me for "Christmas Dinner". Awww~
Haven't seen them all in a while, so I was damn happy!
The meal my friend cooked was really, really, REALLY tasty! I loved it
We even played a little bit "Halo 3" and as I really am not used to playing it anymore (I really suck at it now days) I lost like a newbie! Just like: Friend1: 25 kills Friend2: 24 kills Friend3: 15 kills Me: 6 kills
hahaha really embarassing :D But still was fun.
Before some of us left we took a grouppicture. I look so damn tense! I didn't really have time to sit down in the right way for the picture. Had to rush from the camera to them

I even recieved my new lenses on Friday, just before the weekend. I bought the nudy grey ones. To be honest I thaught that they would be really gray, but yes, they're not! They're looking gray when taking a picture with flash, else my eyes are more green than gray (I have green eyes so :D)
But still they're making my eyes appear a little bit bigger so I loooove them
Sadly I haven't taken any pirctures of the new blue lenses yet. But they're not very intensive as well, so more green eyes than blue ones.

(sorry for the bad quality of the pictures! )
I have to throw away some pairs of lenses in the next days, so I think I will be buying some more lenses in the next weeks.
Btw, I bought them from Honeycolor. The shipping was REALLY fast, although I at first thought that they hadn't sent them after one week, because on the orderpage was still written "processing", so I wrote them to ask. They answered me quickly and told me that they had been shipped on the next day of my order. Everything was fine and I was happy when I recieved the lenses already on Friday!

Nails ~♥

2010-12-06T11:54:00.000-08:00

Hello dear readers!

Finally I made some new nails!
Sadly I'm not satisfied with them and I think I will at least change some of them as soon as I get the chance to. Maybe next week, or well, I'll see when I'm in the mood for it and got the time

I did a few pictures of my thump during the process.
The thump is the nail that fits the LEAST to the other ones :D
Not the same style at all and stuff

But well here some pics of the process:

Here you can even see all of my left hands nails..
The only thing missing on the thumb were the rhinestones

And here then ALL nails..
Sadly the rhinestones went a little bit blurry on some nails after I put a coat of clear nailpolish on them. So I would have to replace some anyway

Maybe I will do all in the concept of the black ones, black and silver. Or just the black french with the rhinestones. We'll see

and by the way
I did them sitting on my bed haha
My bed was soooo full of junk! Check it out:

So that's it.. A short entry I know, sorry

And before I forget!
Today is FINLANDS indipendence day!!
So HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY FINLAND!

Kiitos niille jotka taisteli maamme puolesta! ~♥

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand
I will be going to Finland again in January! I will fly there on 04.01.2011 with Laura (a friend from my class) and Rui
I'm sooo happy and looking forward to it!
Hope to meet all the nice people again

Hope I won't be dying cuz it's so damn cold in Finland!

Weekend & some things aboutTsukicon

2010-11-28T10:42:00.000-08:00

Hello there

Waiting and waiting for the pictures to appear on Yumachis and Ainas blog. They have only been posting a few.
I tell you, the time I had in Helsinki was amaaaaazing!
We were followed by the camerateam everywhere. Even when we went eating on saturday they came along. But well, that's not what made the weekend that so amazing, no, it was that we were able to meet Aina and Yumachi AFTER the concert.
Well it happened that I was talking a little bit with the Manager (he was giving some Parapara dvds and a friend was to shy to ask him for one, so I just did..). He saw that we made that "agepoyo" thing and though it was amazing. So he wanted us to take a picture together with Aina & Yumachi after the concert. He told me to gather some gals for it afterwards. Gosh, I was so thrilled! I did what he wanted me to.

But yes, here a picture Aina posted on her blog of the concert.
Meaning of the HAHA!:
The one on the left that's me and the one on the right that's Rui. You still can see us hahahaha :D
But looking like freakin' old ghosts!

Because the concert was late (about 30 minutes), I thought that the "meeting" wouldn't take place anymore. I was already disappointed, but we decided to go upstairs anyway. So we went and there was already the camerateam waiting for us. After some minutes of waiting.. tadadadaaaa! Yumachi & Aina came!!
OMFG!
That was sooooooooooooo amazing!!
We got to take this picture (from Aina's blog):

And we still got to take some single pictures with them (a few of us) and they even hugged us! WOW!
So damn amazing!!

Here's what I bought there:
A Poster/wallpaper and the CD in special-edition!
There was a competition (beforehand) where 30 people got the chance to get their signature! Happily I was able to!

The two of them are so lovely girls!
So nice and everything.

On the 27.11 at 7:10 am (japanese Time) there was the "show" mezamashi Terebi on Fuji TV. These were the ones making the interviews with us and all.
I got to watch it through a program (low quality and laggy!). BUt yes, I anyway got to watch it
Sadly it was only about 15minutes long. They didn't take even half of the material they had from filming there! Nearly nothing from the concert, nor from the restaurant, nor from us meeting Aina & Yumachi. But well who knows, maybe it will come later some time
Still it's a strange feeling to see oneself in TV.
Here a few screenshots I took (REALLY low quality!)
Me & Viivi

Then here, nothing special, but I really like it, a picture I took on Wednesday:

On the weekend I had originaly planned to go to Geneva/Genf (however) to visit a friend. But she kinda fell ill so I didn't go. I'll be maybe going next weekend. We'll see
But however I met up with a friend from Zurich whom I haven't seen in a while either. We went a little bit to the city and to the christmas market we have here. It's really lovely! But it was snowing like hell! That's really seldom for Basel in November! Surprise Surprise!
Here 2 pics we took together:

Did you notice? I cut my bangs! I didn't want them that way!
I wanted them longer. Just wanted to shorten them a little bit..
Urgh! Turned out the wrong way and they got too short!
That's what they're looking like right now
Well now, after 2 days, they're not looking that bad to me anymore. But first I was SHOCKED!
But now I think it's alright

Then here just some pics from around here (the 2 lower ones the streets near here, what they looked like yesterday!). The snow has molten away quite a bit already
I'm happy about that!

So that's it for now. Hope I'll get some more pictures from Aina & Yumachi for the next time and maybe even the TV reportage in a better quality! ~♥

Fox Tail

2010-11-22T13:11:00.000-08:00

Hello there!

Thanks for your lovely comments for my last entry! So lovely, really! Thanks!

Have you already taken a look at the newest egg? The one fromo december? It's FULL of all the fur trends which have been up lately. Nearly every picture has some fur things or animal pattern. Hard to find one without anything of it.

I have noticed a few times one girl called Azusa. I really LOOOOVE her style.
What do you think about her? Her outfit is really great, simple, but anyway really hot!

Then here my favorite outfit of this month's egg. Yes, I

noticed it with Nadine this weekend, when we were practicing para para at her place. I think she liked it very much herself. Really lovely. Just badly it's nearly impossible for me to wear something like that in Switzerland. Hate it that this country is so damn conservative. So I'm really looking forward to the time, when I'm staying in Japan gor a longer time.
By the way love the pink in her hair and the fox tail.

I had bought one from ebay some time ago, before I made one myself. Oh gosh! that really was a shock for life! It did stink really badly! And it was looking like it never had been washed (To be honest I didn't even want a real one! I expected it to be fake..). I didn't touch it until some days ago. I thought that it would be sad to just throw it away. So I washed it 2 times and put even some conditioner on it haha :D
Then yesterday I combed and straightened it. And tadadadaaaaa! Now it doesn't stink anymore and looks really good. Sadly I think, that it might be tooooooo big for my taste. But we'll see

So here still to pictures from the egg (Yumachi and some other girl from a streetsnap). Why did I choose them?.. yeees? HA! That's it! The foxtail, exactly!
Really LOVE that style!

What do you think about it?
You like it or not?

Btw, I wrote a longer entry about the fur things going on lately on Gyaru-Raba

Here a picture of my fox tails so you can see what I mean, when I say that it's really BIG!
On the left my Iphone and on the right the tail I made myself (fake-fur for sure ;D), so you can compare it in a better way!

Well that's all for now..
here a crappy picture from my webcam when I was talking with Rui
Actually I only wanted to show him the fox tail, because we were talking about 'em, but yes, ended up talking a little bit more hahaha :D was fun though.
It somehow looks reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally straaaaaaaaaaange, but I dunno, somehow funny haha

Still one picture from Tsukicon with Beda taken by MONICA, thanks Hun

♥~Tsukicon Helsinki~♥

2010-11-17T11:14:00.000-08:00

Hey there dear readers

I'm back home after a great weekend in Helsinki!
It was the best weekend in my life! gosh!

Be prepared for a pictureoverload!!

First off.. I went directly from Manchester (we had the english language exchange with school) to Helsinki. EasyJet, AWEFUL! I had never flown with easyjet before and I tell you, I was shocked! It was soooooo stressful, gosh! Had to pay for 1 kg overweight.. had to get my laptop AND handbag in another bag.. they made a big fuss out of my Stitch I had bought in Chester. URGHS!.. just.. tiring! But still, I landed savely and was warmly welcomed by Viivi
Thank you veeery much for picking me up and letting me stay at your place!
I miss you already now (;_; )

It was already quite late when we arrived at her home. But before that we shortly went to ALEPA, so I could buy some food. Awww! All the finnish delicacies I love!
Karjalanpiirakka, Mansikkamehua (Strawberryjuice, not actually finnish but still love it!), Tupla, Pulla, etc etc awwz was so happy!
Cuz it was that late already we just curled our extensions and went to sleep. We had to stand up quite early (6 o'clock!! ) to go to the Tsukicon to prepare the Fashionshow Viivi organised. Yes I was participating as well ~♥

There was japanese FUJI-TV! They made interviews with us gals!
so exciting!
But I will tell you more about Yumachi & Aina, as well as Fuji TV, later on. If I should happen to get some pictures.

So the fashionshow was at 6 pm.
Everything went well. My heart was pounding as hell and I was so daaaaamn nervous!
As soon as you were on the stage you had some kind of blackout. It was soooo light that you couldn't see anything and just forgot all the poses you wanted to make and just did something that happened to come to your mind. But still it was a great feeling!

Here a picture from the show!
The picture belongs to the Mia, her link is on the picture. Hope she's alright that I used it u_u

(I did a strange pose haha :D thanks for uploading the video MIA!)

Here some picture I took with Arttu and Viivi.
Guess it's the ones from Arttus camera?
(love that one XD)
After the fashion show we gals went eating together.
I met some great gals! The camera-team didn't even leave us alone while eating haha

Buu, Mia and Monica

Pin, Puni and Beda

Sini! ~♥
miss her so much! (;_; )
She has such a great style! luv it! ~♥

I'm making a really weird face :D *grin*
Thanks for uploading the video mia! ~♥

On Sunday they had a little "show" where they were talking about being gyaru.
(left to the right) Sini, Emma, Viivi, Mia and Pin.

Took a picture with Anni ~♥
A great para para show followed from a galgroup from Jyväskylä. The show was great!

THen the second group (gals from Helsinki)

Here's a picture of the two parapara groups togehter.
Such lovely gals!

After that Rui had the great idea to make a video with gals where we all are shouting: "AGEPOYOOO!"
So we went running around and gathering some gals and yes, WE DID IT!
Here's a picture of us doing the EGG-Pose

And here's finally the video:

In the evening of sunday, while there was the Alsdead concert, we went to McDonalds for a while.
We had sooo much fun. Love all the great gals in Finland!

Saara, me and Emma♥
and another group picture:
(left to the right)
Invild, Emma, Monica, Me and Kristiina

Invild, Monica and me
Just taking some pictures. Just had to make a stupid face :D

Rui, Nina and me

At some point we had the idea to take some pictures in the window.
Thank you soooo much Beda for taking the pictures!
Sadly on the more normal one you can't see Saaras face (;_; )

So didn't write anything about Aina & Yumachi in this entry. I still hope to get some pictures before that. I'll just tell you that I'll never forget that day!! never ever! Happiest weekend of my whole life! ~♥

Thanks to all the great gals, really, thaaaank you! It was so lovely and I got to know even more lovely people! Hope to meet them again soon! ~

Uno Kanda's wedding dresses featuring Tsubasa Masuwaka

2010-11-04T15:49:00.000-07:00

Well well
I'm now in England for our schools language exchange and speaking English every day (of course)!
I'm having a quite good time here. It's just sad that it is always raining and the buses are ALL the time late! URGHS!
Cuz of the currency exchange rate everything is a less expensive than it usually would be. GBP low and CHF high!
Here in Chester they even have a Disneyshop. When I went there I saw a biiiiig stitch.. as always I thought: "Bah.. will be too expensive". And tadadadaaaa surprise surprise! 20£! It was some kind of sale I don't know, but yes, I bought it! I had made the promise to myself a long time ago that sometime I would buy one ^^

The Hostfamily I'm staying with is really lovely and I have a cosy, little room for myself.

So now again the question because of Gyaru-raba. I really want to know your opinion!

That's why I'm asking you all to PLEASE make the poll on Gyaru-raba.blogspot.com. it would really help me!
I have been thinking about it for quite a long time now and I just noticed that it doesn't make any sense to have two blogs if I'm only updating one regularly and if I happen to write an entry on gyaru-raba I put it somehow on my blog here as well. I don't know but it seems a little bit unneccessairy. So please make the poll and help me!

So now what I wanted to write about (and yes it's the same as on gyaru-raba :D):

I recently saw an article about Uno Kanda (just a short one) and there was mentioned that she has made her own wedding dress collection. Not that special you would think if there wasn't a big BUT! She hired a gyarumodel for the collection pictures and that was no one else than Tsubasa Masuwaka.
Here's some general information about Uno Kanda:

Name: Uno Kanda
Born: 28. March 1975 in Kanagawa
Career: She started as a model in her Highschool years and later on she has appeared in TV as well. She is trying to debut as a fashiondesigner in Paris.
Height: 168cm
Bloodtype: O

The bridal dress collections name is "Uno et l'etoile". Translated into English that means "Uno and the star".
I for my part think that the collection is really cute, but maybe a little bit too extravagant for real bridal wear. In fact it is really beautiful to look at and I love the catalog pictures.

So to not let you wait any longer here are 5 Pictures of the collection:

If you want to see more collection pictures click HERE (it's the official page of the collection. You can even find there a Shoplist in Japan where you can get her dresses or read an interview. Unfortunately everything is in Japanese.)
If you want to know more about Uno Kanda click HERE or HERE

So what do you think about the collection?
Do you like it?
Would you wear something like that on your happiest day of your life or lets just say when you're marrying?

♥~Photoshooting and Tsukicon~♥

2010-10-26T10:28:00.000-07:00

First of all I want to thank you all for your nice comments about my new layout! Really, thanks a lot!
I will change the header's text a little bit. I noticed it too before I changed the layout, but didn't think that it was that hard to read. But now I see what you mean, so I will be changing it, as soon as I get to do it

Now to talk about something else.
I have a friend called Nadine. A really cute girl! She has been to my place a few times and slowly starts liking gyaru. I guess I have mentioned once before, that she really liked to "read" my egg and ageha magazines, didn't I?
Well, however, we always wanted to make a Gyaru-Styling together and last weekend we finally found time to do so. I didn't allow her to take a look in a mirror before I had finished her make-up and hair. It took me quite some time, cuz I first did her make-up, then mine and then her hair before mine.
But yes, here a picture of her what she looks like usually :
(one of her cutest pics in my opinion! )

And tadadadaaaaaaaaaaaa
the result of my work
I put on some fake lashes, made her hair, gave her some of my clothing (mejane and delyle) and that's what she looked like. I think it suits her veeeeeeeeeery well! She's so damn cute!
gyaru-like styling fits her! It really does!

After I had done my hair (first time to do a nice hairstyling with clip-in extensions), we made a little photoshooting in our bathroom. Bad place to take the pics, but cuz it was already dark outside it was the only room where the lighting was enough bright to take some acceptable pictures!

the picture above was just like: "huh? u hearing that?" "nah, what?" XD
The shooting was so much fun! Oh gosh! Hope we can make it sometime again!

Then here 2 pics alone

Some big NEWS!

As many of you already might know Yumachi and Aina will be going to Tsukicon in Helsinki on 14.11 as special guest!
Well, I will be in Chester, England, from 31.10-12.11. Happily I got the permission that I won't have to travel back with my class on the 12.11. What did I do? I'm flying directly to Helsinki from Chester to be able to go to the Convention!
Gosh I'm so damn excited I'm also very happy for being able to meeting all the great gals again! I'm sooooo looking forward to it! I just absolutely can't wait! ~♥

If there should be any gals around I don't know, please feel free to talk with me if you happen to see me, or well, contact me here! I'm always happy to meet new people

New Layout! ~♥

2010-10-22T11:14:00.000-07:00

Hellooo there!

So I finally changed my layout, but somehow I'm still not fully satisfied with the result
I don't know what it is that disturbs me.. Maybe I will know after some days

The layout is FIREFOX optimized, so it might look a little bit strange in other browsers (on my Iphone, IE, etc)

On the side I'm still planning to do a list with blogs of my dear friends, but not now, that will follow a little later

So here's my old layout (yes my computer screen is pretty wide!) :

What do you think? Which one was better?
What could I maybe do better?
Btw, you should know I'm no html, css etc pro , nor a photoshop pro, so I have no clue about such things..

I idiot didn't safe the codes I had in there before.. so restoring would be rather difficult x__X stupid me! (;_; )

Photoshooting 19.09.10 ~♥

2010-09-28T12:09:00.000-07:00

Hello dear readers!

As I mentioned in my entry before I'm going to write about the Photoshooting from 19. September with my friends Carmen♥ and Laura♥
I had never before been in a real shooting in a studio and everything. Lauras little brother is an apprentice there and he agreed to make a shooting with us on sunday for FREE! He's not a pro yet, but that's the way he learns

I stood up at 8:15 in the morning!! because I was going to be the one who had to do all the make-up and hairstylings. So I started doing my hair at 9 o'clock. At 10:15 I got a phonecall from Carmen, that she and her mother can't find my place O-o;
I was instructing them on the phone, but didn't bring anything although I said: "DON'T go stright! Take the next road to the right! TO THE RIGHT!" what did they do? They wen't straight on hahaha
So with half-done hair I sat in my mums car and drove there where Carmen was now and picked her up haha :D

At around 10:30 Laura came too and I finished doing my hairstyling in around 15 minutes so I could start doing Carmens.
I don't know why but the 2 of them were even unable to curl the hair of the clip-in extensions! O_O With the straightener as well as with the curling iron x__X
Ok in the end I kind of rolled it every time on and they held on to it so I could do some curls on her head
Carmens hair color perfectly matched with my clip-in extensions! WOW!

So after that I did Lauras hair and then boths make-up.
Gosh they were so amazed! O_O
They reaaaally liked my work! They were so happy!
However I didn't get to do my make-up. We had to leave and I had to do it in the photostudio.

When I first went to the studio I thought: "Ahh I have been there before for the photo in my passport! No big deal..". Then we went downstairs and I saw the studio and I was like: "wooooow! Awesome!"

After some test pictures we started the shooting.
Laura is the one with dark hair and the grey outfit.
Carmen the one in front on the left (she's wearing my LizLisa clothing )
And I am on the right, with some LizLisa clothing as well
It should be a kind of "story telling picture"

There has been some series where they had this kind of picture. Can't remember the name nor the characters x__X
But well that's at least how I got the idea for this picture

Later on it was about good and evil.
Evil/bad is on the left side and good on the right. I'm the one they're trying to influence :D

There you go, good and evil are fighting!
Everything about the apple!
Evil: "Eaat it! eaaat the apple!"
Good: "don't eat it!"
Could be kinda of the story from "Adam & Eva" or from "Snowwhite"

I kinda like this picture too, although Laura is looking too gentle in it

She ate it! noooooo! (;_; )
I don't especially like myself in this pic, but Laura is looking awesomely beautiful in it!

Sooo after Carmen had to leave (some family meeting she had to go to) I decided to change my clothes and do what I love the most, BEING GYARU!

One thing is bad.. my eyemake isn't as strong as usually ;__;
Forgot my liquid eyeliner at hooome d'oooh (;_; )
Had to do everything with eyeshadow damn it x__X

I think I might use this picture (above) for my new header ~♪

I finally got to use my beloved high heels too! I have never worn them before, because wearing them I'm over 190!!!
Hate it nyyyh

In this pic you can see a little bit our height diffrence.. ^^;

and then just some randompics I liked:

And one of my absolute fav pics:

Just love the faces we're making haha
So awesome!
Btw, you can see how tall I am compared to the others x__X
bad bad

Now looking back to the shooting it was really awesome! We had a great time and I enjoyed the feeling of being a model. It was just sooo much fun! If I get the chance again, I will do it again for sure!

Again thanks to Laura's little Brother Samuel! Thank you a looooot!

Birthday & d.i.a

2010-09-22T09:51:00.000-07:00

As I said in the last entry, it was my birthday!
THAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS for your birthdaywishes!!
On the weekend (11.-12.9) we made some paaaaarty!
Even my friends from Zürich came to Basel (and Janina from Geneva! awwwz)

I was reeeeaaaaally happy, 'cause they seldomely come to Basel. Usually I aaaalways have to go to Zürich! ;_;

From my parents I got my baaaaaby the NIKON D5000!

Just awesome!
At my party, we made a picnic, I took some pictures with one of my friends (Janina).
Here are the pics:

Janina is the one on the left and me on the right, we're doing (Shanna and my :D) Monkey ACTION!!
Still love it! It's so silly that I just have to love it

A single Pic I took myself when I was trying out diffrend modes and lightingstuff
Kinda like this picutre

Then here 4 more pictures we took there

That's the little "river" on which borders we were making the little picnic

Later on we went clubbing.
It's pretty seldom that I am tooooo lazy to making something with my hair and make-up before going to a club, but I kinda was this time o_O;

So here only one unstyled pic from me in the club with one of my real good friends whom I have been knowing already for over 18 years!!

As I have mentioned in certain entries before I'm a real d.i.a. lover, already from the first time I had been in Japan in 2007.
Still can't have enough of that brand, awwz!

While I was bored at work I once found some blogs featuring d.i.a clothing.
Sadly they don't have ANY internet precense, so I always have to wait 'til I'm in Japan again to buy some things there
Most of my favorite clothing I own are from d.i.a

It seems that even d.i.a sticks to the "fur-trend"
here some examples:

Here some other coordinates I really like:

One of my recent MUST HAVEs is the fur keychain Yumachi has in this picture
I'm absolutely going crazy for it
I just haaaaaaaaaaaave to get one!!

And by the way, if any of you knows a onlinestore I can get d.i.a.-like ripped jeans/hotpants in the same colors, please tell me ;__; Have been searching for similar ones for already over 2 years

My next coming up entry will be about the Photoshooting I had with 2 of my friends on the 19.9. in a photostudio and the gyaru-meme!

♥ Milano & Birthday ♥

2010-09-08T08:27:00.000-07:00

Hello Sweetys!

This time I wont be writing that much, only a picture overflow from Milano! :3
Ain't got time right now, but want to do the entry today!

So what I think of Milano in one word:
Boring..
it's not my city! Architecture and culturally it is really great! But we didn't really find things to do :/ sadly!

We wanted to go clubbing too, but they told us, that there's only one real club in the WHOLE city.. and that one was closed.. summerbreak or something -__-
Our hotel, it was just URGH! Just gross! x__X
But hey, we're still alive and had a great time anyway!
So here are the pictures

Entrancehall or something in the central trainstation when we arrived there:

The cathetral! THis one was really beautiful!

Some randompic

A beautiful "shoppingmall"!

and other randompictures :D

(uh gosh no! u found me! T__T I thought it was perfect! )

That's the friend I went with, Isabelle! She's a really important friend to me!

What I really looooove were how the fashion shops were looking like! So damn great!

and other randompics:

Then our hotel, it really wasn't nice..
there were places like this (in the shower mostly! )

so that's it, have to go, guests came, because today is my BIRTHDAY! YAAY!

Just one thing.. my tradition is to listen to this song every year on my birthday! love the clip too! so damn cute!

Shoes & thanks! ~♥

2010-09-02T10:24:00.000-07:00

First of all..
THANK YOU A LOT FOR 200 FOLLOWERS!!
I am really happy!
Really, I appreciate it~♥

Then what I wanted to write about, or well, not write about :D
I have been wanting to post it already a looong time ago, since I have made the shoes about 1,5 years ago, but never really got the chance to do anything with my tutorial :D
bad pics of the shoes:

So about the tutorial:

I made the shoes, because I haven't been able to find such shoes.
1. I'm too tall for highheels! (;_; )
2. I have european shoesize 41.. nearly impossible to find anything in Japan!
3. erm, yeah O-o;;

So if you really want to try it out, I would recommend to use PVA-glue instead of nailglue :D although it worked out, but the pva-glue is better for certain materials.
Then the glittery parts, especially the "rhinestone-chain", I later stiched it on with 3 stiches on each side. REALLY hard to do! You need tongs to do so =_=
But well, they'll just be attached better and won't fall of, even if you aren't threatening your shoes very nicely

Here's the tutorial:

Because of boredom I decided to make other ones some weeks later:

That's it
Haven't got anything more to talk about atm..
Just my plans.. so for that..
This weekend I am going to Milanoooo~
I have never been there before, so I am exited!
Tomorrow already, yesss
Takes 4:15 by train from Basel
That's not as long as I would have expected!

Next week is my birthday too, urghs, to be honest, I don't want to get older anymore XD
Now would be the right time for my clock to stop for a while hahaha :D

So se you next week~

Finland part 2 Gal Meetup

2010-08-27T10:20:00.000-07:00

Hellooo there!

So here just as I promised my entry about the Gal Meetup in Helsinki!

To be honest.. I didn't take many pictures :/
I was only able to take a few pics from facebook I got linked on and some purikura, so don't be dissapointed! ;_;

Well first off one of my favorite pics from that day..
The thing came up when I was talking with Sari, while the others were decorating/painting the purikuras..
we were just like: "huh? It's just like we'd be in a shops window haha!"
That's how this picture was taken

WHen I went to the meetup, I was REALLY nervous!
Before the meeting I had been talking with Viivi on Facebook and Msn sometimes, so I was happy to at least know somebody there x__X but still I was nervous!

My sweet cousin Vuokko came along, because she and her mother came to helsinki because of some business they had there, but because kinda looking sad that she had to say goodbye already I suggested, if she didn't want to come along and her mother allowed if I'd bring her back to "Kamppi" when she's calling.
So that was our deal and she came along
I was happy, that I was able to spend some more time with her too

Somehow I was really surprised how warmly the other gals welcomed me! Was so damn happy!

And so I was able to show her what purikura were
these are the ones we took
(on the last pic I was still talking, lol, that's why it's looking so freaking bad hahaha :D)

Then we took some further ones
Anni, Viivi & Vuokko
(I'm looking weird on those =_= )

Then here are the group purikuras we took..
gosh! It was sooo damn narrow and daaaamn hot!

After the purikura session I had to bring Vuokko to "Kamppi" and say goodbye (;_; )
.. on our way back there I bought a "siideri" (I looove it!). Cider, for those who don't know what it is, it is an alcoholic drink, like beer but sweeter!
In Finland it's from an agelimit (? guess it's the wrong word XD) of 18 y. In Switzerland 16 :D
But well, next month I'm turning 22 and still they're asking me to see my ID =__= Kinda depressing!!
Have gotten asked in Switzerland sometimes too!

Well then in the park, we ate, drank and danced some parapara! It got kinda cold! Urhgs!
Started even raining a little bit later on..

In the evening I went clubbing with Viivi, Saara, Kaisu and Arttu..
It was sooooo much fun! It was my first time to go clubbing in Helsinki

So on Sundy my flight went back at 16:30.. I was so damn tired from clubbing (was in bed at 5 o'clock and stood up something before 10 o'clock), that I slept the whole damn flight

So for the end here 2 vids I took at the meetup.. nothing special, just randomfilming..
Don't mind he bad made vid, I just didn't want to upload them seperately and because the the track was too long until the first little break I put some pictures in, don't wonder

So thanks again guys! It was so much fun and a pleasure to be with you!
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again!

Kiitos paljon kaikille! Oli todella ihanaa, ja ois kyllä makeeta jos pääsisin taas joskus uudelleen miittiin tai muuten vain tapaamaan joitaki teistä
Jupp, ja stadin murrettakin pitäis vielä enemmän opetella ku on niin vanhanaikanan suomi (ja muutenkin virheellinen ku kirjotan :D)

So now it's already late.. so good night!

Finland part 1

2010-08-23T09:24:00.000-07:00

Helloooo there!

Sorry for not writing a new entry for so long!
Like I had mentioned in an entry before I went to Finland from 18.-22.8.10.
It was a really short time but I had such a greeeaaaaaaat time!!
I hardly wanted to leave!

But first of all.. I was really surprised to get so many positive comments on my last entry! I didn't expect that! O_O
So, really, THANK YOU GUYS!
And sorry that I wasn't answering the comments yet, didn't find the time, but I will do it for sure in the next days! PROMISE!! ;__;

So now about Finland:

I first went to Helsinki, for short shopping with my little cousin Vuokko, who's 11 years old!
She's so damn cute!
We met there my friend Janina, whom I haven't seen in a while.. awww was soooo nice to see her again! Have been missing her here!
Bought some things, but I will show them maybe later ~

Well we went then to Porlammi, the place my cousin lives. Porlammi is a little village with around 500 people living there and one little villageshop haha :D

Here some video I took.
You can see a liiiiiiiittle bit (shortly in the beginning) of the place they live and then the liiittle sweet cat they have
In total they have 4 cats!
I wanted to upload some more videos, but it takes around 1 hour 'til it's up x__X

I haven't really been in Finland for at least 2 years.. only once, really shortly, for my grand mother's funeral (;__; ) nyyh nyyyh

However I really doooo LOOOOOVE finnish strawberries! I even dare to say that they're the best in the whole WOOOOORLD!
haha :D
So my aunt made me a reaaal good cake!
It was so damn tasty that I could have eaten the whole cake alone

I took some pictures with my cousin too
I put a little bit of make-up on her face, but not too much, 'cause she's still so young. She even seemed to like the usamimi
So here are the pictures we took together:

This one is my absoulte favorite summerpic hahaha :D Sooo damn funny, my face, lol :D

After that I went for a short visit to Riihimäki to see my other cousins. I only stayed there a few hours and then returned to Helsinki to my uncles place.
My 2 of my other cousins were there with their own kids

One cousin with his 2 year old son Elias and my other cousin with her 1 year old son Luka. I haven't seen the 2 kids for a long time! Luka the last time when he still was a little baby sleeping the whole time!
Gosh, he's soooo damn cute!
Reaaaally blonde hair and such cuuute little blue eyes! really lovely!

Here's a picture of him:

Here's even a little video:

On Saturday I went the finnish GAL 2. MEETUP!
It was soooo much fun and I met so many lovely people, I can't believe it!
But well, I won't be talking more about that for now, 'cause that's what my next entry will be about

btw, can you find me in the picture? Not really hard right? XD
(the picture is from Viivi so don't wonder :D)

It's kind of strange, but I started feeling really cosy, like finland would be the place I should be.. Yes I know, it sounds strange because I am finnish, but this time on my holiday there was a real strong feeling that I didn't want to leave, maybe because it only was such a short stay or because I got to know so many lovely people. To be honest, I don't know. I started to think, that maybe I should try out and go there for 1/2 year.. the question would just be, when?! x__X

♥Coordinates♥

2010-08-15T09:47:00.000-07:00

Hi there!

As so often I don't have anything special to talk about..
I just received 2 packages from Japan, one with LizLisa things and one from Yumtenbo.
In the Liz Lisa parcel was only a hat for me, the one you can see in the pictures below, and clothing for Shanna!
I totaly looooove the hat!

Sadly you're being badly stared at when wearing it..
That's Switzerland.. bäh! Boring!

So here is my coordinate from yesterday, the 14.08.10.
In Zürich was the Streetparade so it was no problem going to Zürich to a friends Birthdayparty dressed like that. Just sad that everybody was thinking that I was going to the streetparade! wtf?!

Top: Rose Fan Fan
Shorts: Tally Weijl
Hat: LizLisa
Belt: Tally Weijl
Shoes: Some no name ones
Accessories: Earrings from LizLisa, Bracelet from a shop in Ikebukuro Sunshinecity, Necklace from ParisKids

here are some other pictures I took:
This one I took in a public toilet hahaha
I had to take out my circle lenses 'cause my eyes kinda hurt, so I wanted to take a pic before that

The friends birthdayparty was quite fun, although it was raining really badly!
We went eating in a restaurant.. the food was quite good..
And because there was a misunderstanding with the price, we ordered some more (the plate WASN'T on the menu!! )..
It was a "tray"(?) filled with diffrent kind of food.. not quite as much as we had thought, but okay.. should have been for 10 people and we were 8 eating one.. and still were really hungry!
Well, my friend before he reserved asked for the price.. the woman said one.. and he was like "huh? only that much?" and repeated the price.. she said: "yes! that much!" and he asked again to be sure.. not only he did that, but an other friend too!
Same thing!.. ok.. we ordered 2 more.. in total we ate 5 "trays"(dunno if that's the right word XD)..
Suddenly we got to know the REAL price for it! 109.- CHF!!!!! per tray! WTF?!!!
so.. in total 545.- CHF! ONLY the food!.. we tried to talk with the woman, the restaurants owner.. explained the situation.. that it was a misunderstanding and all, but she didn't care at all.. damn b****.. sorry =__=;;
It made me so damn angry! It just can't be that 2 persons ask 4-5 times.. and understand everytime the same price and when they repeat what they understood she's just confirming.. that's just arrrgh!
Ok at least we were 20 persons.. and could all pay it together.. some didn't have money.. but it worked out anyway somehow..

The whole day the rain was so damn bad, that my shoes were sooo wet, urgh! Disgusting

Then about the Yumetenbo parcel..
There was my desired bikini!! ♥ yay and a top..
I was sooo happy that the Bikini fit me, you can't believe it!
Japanese sizes are so damn small, that I'm always scared not fitting into pants or something like that x__X
But well, it fits me and I'm happy!

BEFORE SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THE BIKINI PICS READ THIS PLZ!
Because I have seen pretty bad comments to others who were posting bikini pictures I just want the people to read this before they judge over me ^^
I was thinking quite long wether I should post a picture of me wearing the bikini or not..
Was pondering today the whole afternoon, if it's bad to post pictures..
But to be honest, I don't know what should be bad about it?
I'm not the most selfconfident person on world you can find, not at all! There were times in my life I prefered not leaving the house so I wouldn't have to show myself..
I still have complexes, I admit that, but who doesn't? I think everybody has..
And just as every other person I have my flaws as well..
NEVER before have I taken pictures of me in a bikini.. Never felt as confident that I could have done it.. I'm not saying that I am that confident. If I was, I wouldn't be thinking about wether to post the pictures or not..
However it is, I just want to show what the Bikini looks like on me, that's all!

and yes my face is censored, because today I didn't put on any make-up. I was simply too lazy!

♥~ My Japan Must Go's! ~♥

2010-08-09T09:38:00.000-07:00

Hello there dear readers!

First of all I want to thank you for aaaaaall your really lovely comments! THanks a lot! I really appreciate them!

So, for this time I wont be talking about fashion, shopping or anything in that direction.
I have visited Japan already 5 times. That's why I want to talk about places I have been to. To be more precise, I want to introduce you my "Japan Must Go"s top 10. These are my absolute favorite places for tourism I have been to and would recommend everybody who's going to Japan for the first time. It's just my opinion, so everybody can be thinking something diffrent
Before I start I want to say, that all of the pictures have been taken by me
and a warning.. this will be a REALLY long entry!

Let's start with number 10!

Japan must go 10.

YEBISU GARDEN PLACE EBISU

I have been there around 3 times up until now. I think it is the most beautiful to go there by night! As you can see on my pictures they have installed there some light's so everything is just gorgeous!
The big building seems to be a little empty since there are some offices inside. However on the 38th floor there are restaurants, so don't be shy to go in and get into the elevator to the top floors. The sight is great! The special thing is, that the elevator is kind of outside of the building and the wall of it is made of glass, so you can see outside while you are going up! Pretty amazing! When you are going to a restaurant or bar and have reserved a table you might even get the chance have one at the window
I wouldn't say that the restaurants were expensive, a little bit more than other restaurants I'd guess. I can't really tell you anything about prices because I am used to the pretty expensive restaurant food here in Switzerland

By the way, has anybody of you seen Hana Yori Dango? Do you remember the first meetingplace for their date? (I don't want to make up any spoiler, sorry for those who haven't seen it!). Well yes, the strange statue he's waiting for her in the rain, you can find it there!
I for my part looooove Hana Yori Dango! So I was just like: "OMG! They met here! awwww~ "
haha :D

So let's go on

Japan must go 9.

CHINA TOWN YOKOHAMA

Yokohama is a great city with many attractions worth going. One of my favorites has been Yokohama China Town!
I, for my part, haven't been to china. So I liked how the streets looked and how it was kind of pretty diffrent to the ways japanese shops, restaurants etc were looking like. I can't really talk much about it, just tell you, that I liked it there and that it really is worth going! It's by the way Japans biggest china town! It's pretty easy to find because there are biiiiiiig and colorful entrance gates to it. You can find there some temples (guess it were 2-3) too!

I will just go on with the number 8!

Japan must go 8.)

FUSHIMI INARI KYOTO

I have been to Kyoto 3 times and I didn't make it before my 3rd time in Kyoto to the Fushimi Inari shrine. I always wanted to go there, so we granted that wish with a friend. Maybe some of you have seen the film "Memoirs of a Geisha". As a child "Sayuri" is running through such Torii! When I saw film, it was the point I decided that I wanted to visit the Fushimi Inari shrine for sure!
To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of that movie, but I liked certain scenes of it.

What I really liked about the place was, that on the way walking through the thousands of torii, you can see some little altars in the woods. So there aren't only these "gates" and the temples but also many other little things to discover! Just great!
Did you by the way know, that the torii lead to the top of the mountain? Every single torii has been donated by families, companies or private persons.

So much from me of the Fushimi Inari shrine, let's move on to the number 7!

Japan must go 7.

TSURUGAOKA HACHIMAGU KAMAKURA

I went to the Shrine in spring 2008. To be honest, the shrine itself isn't that stunning, but what impressed me, were the pretty gardens and the beautiful alley leading to it!
There were many flowers in full bloom and a few little lakes with benches you could sit on. Even a few right under beautiful blooming flowers. We sat there for a while and when you closed your eyes and took a deep breath you could intensively smell the flowers. It was just gorgeous!
The shrine is directly in the opposite direction from the sea (when you're at the Kamakura station). But really worth it! On your way back to the trainstation you can walk the normal street, so don't take the alley! huh? You're maybe asking now why, wondering why not, when I just had been writing how beautiful the alley was! Well, a simple reason, along the street there are small shops. No not normal shopping, but shops with beautiful cups, art, jewellery. I bought there a really cute ring. It's worth it! honestly!

Here comes numer 6!

Japan must go 6.

BENTENDO AT SHINOBAZU UENO

Until this year I didn't know of such a place, until a friend showed me. First I was only able to see the pond, lake, what ever it was :D
The pond was covered with lotuses. Ok, I didn't see any flowers, only the leafs, but that doesn't matter. It was looking beautiful anyway! Besides that it was already dark.
You are able to reach the shrine there over a bridge. The shrine was lightened up and the atmosphere really quiet! I looooved it!... loved it.. until the point when he (the guy who showed me the place) told me, that there would be rumors about ghosts. lol :D
I'm a easy to frighten
But anyway, I can only recommend the place when you loooove quiet places. And yes, go there by night
There are many benches around the pond, so perfect for a date!

going on with the number 5 of my list!

Japan must go 5.

GHIBLI MUSEUM MITAKA

I am a biiiig Studio Ghibli fan! I loooove the movies they make (my fav is still Totoro!). Always love to watch them again and again.
For all the 4 times I had been in Japan I wished to go to this museum, but until my 5. trip I didn't make it. But finally I was able to and it was totally worth it!
When I entered the museum I had the feeling to be in one of their movies myself! The architecture, the colours, everything just like in the movies! Nothing to be missed if you are a Ghibli-lover!

There are many things to be seen and all of them are really lovely. I think for children it's like Disneyland! Just a dreamy little place filled up with fantasy! A tiny little world for itself!
When I have kids I'm definitely going to bring them there

Are you still able to go on reading? You noticed? I'm starting to write less and less :D And I guess the most of you wont get even to the bottom of this entry with reading, but doesn't matter
Going on with my number 4 of the must go's.

Japan must go 4.

JAPAN OLD STREETS KYOTO

It was the first time on my 3rd trip I was able to see little, more traditional japanese streets. In Kyoto, when we were searching for Gion in an extreme heat like hell! So we didn't even endure it long, but what we saw, was beautiful!
Such cosy streets and such a BIG diffrence to the modern Japan. You just stand there still and watch for a while before you are able to move on. While you stand there you can hear the noise which is coming from the bigger streets nearby. I kind of felt like I just had arrived in Japan, in the real Japan! I had the feeling that there could just every second turning up a geisha in here beautiful kimono and great made hair! And yes, we didn't even make it to Gion, because we didn't find the way and were just too damn tired to still be walking around. We were near it, but didn't quite make it.
Next time I'm in Kyoto I will make it for suuuuuuure! I just absolutely want to see Gion after I already thought that these streets were stunning! So don't miss your chance to see old japanese districts!

and my count-down starts.. here's my number 3!

Japan must go 3.

PEACE MEMORIAL PARK HIROSHIMA

In my first week of my first trip to Japan, we already went to Hiroshima. I'm somebody who's really interested in the Second World War.
If you're interested or not, I think the Peace Memorail Park is worth going.
The place, especially the dome, has such an special atmosphere of sadness. It directly confronts you with the brutality of human kind! First when you arrive there, and see the building, you hold your breath for a moment and just stare at it. I didn't say a single word. The only thing that cheered us kind of up, were the school classes which were on a school trip. They were somehow enthusiastic!

We went on to the museum.
My friend already warned me, that I might start to cry when I see all the pictures of the cruelty that has happened in history. God bless I didn't start to cry, but I couldn't speak for at least 5 minutes after I we had left the museum..

It's a tragedy that something like that was possible to happen.
But now, I will be going on to my number 2!

Japan must go 2.

KIYOMIZUDERA TEMPLE KYOTO

It's my favorite temple of all the ones I have been to up until now!
You have to walk quite a bit to reach it, but I tell you, it's absolutely woth it! It's in the woods and the view you have from there is just breath taking! You can see all over Kyoto! We happend to see there some Geisha too, but I was so stunned, that I kind of didn't realise that I should ask them for a photo. Idiotic me

I have visited the temple twice. As far as I know there hasn't been used a single nail for the whole temple and there's a "waterfall"/wellspring in the middle of the whole temple buildings, known for it's clear water. It's a tradition to drink from it

If you are too lazy to go there by bus and walk all the way to the stairs, you can just easily take a taxi at the Kyoto trainstation. The ride will cost you around 2000-3000 yen and if you're not alone it's not that expensive. I did that the second time I went there, and honestly, it's easier and more relaxing. Besides you wont be as soaked in sweat when you reach the temple as you would if you went there by bus and foot!

And last but not least, myyyy nuuuumber ooooone!

Japan must go 1.

MORI TOWER ROPPONGI

I am a biiiig Mori Tower fan!
I have been there 3 times. Twice in daytime and once by night. I absolutely recommend you to go by night! If you make it, go there when the sun sets! It's sooo damn beautiful! It's higher than the Tokyo Tower, and from up there, you can even see it. As far as you can see, up to the horizon, only lights and buildings. Just an awesome sight!
The observation platform is on the 53rd floor (if I remember right). And the sight is really stunning! You can walk around and see in every direction of Tokyo!
You can even get a map, on which is written where you can find which part of Tokyo. Really interesting
I for my part enjoy going there and loved it the most by night!
Up there are 2-3 restaurants/bars where you can mostely drink something. So take your time when you're up there, because it's not as cheap as some might think.

I hope it wasn't toooo much. It's even the longest entry I have ever written
For my part, I would like to know if you want to have more entries, which go in the direction of tourism and not only fashion and stuff. Would it be interesting? Or not? Difficult for me to say it myself, because I really enjoyed writing it now!
To be honest, first I would have to gather some more ideas to write more such entries haha :D

So that's it from my part for today~♥

Random Styling

2010-08-05T11:27:00.000-07:00

Don't you think the sky can be beautiful? Especially when it clears up after a rainy day.
I am often reaaaally fascinated by the sky
I could often just lay down and stare into the sky.
Sometimes I'm even searching for animals and other pictures you can recognise from the form of the clouds
I think it can be really relaxing sometimes!

The pic below was a few hours after it had been raining taken from our balcony.
Our guests had gone to a climbing parcour with my dad and I had the day off anyway, so I could relax

Ok to be honest, after a while alone at home I got bored.
First I wanted to try out my new curling iron, but somehow the electricity converter (the curling iron is from Japan) didn't work very well. It started to stink and to kinda fume

So I just made some curls with my straightener once again
As always I got kinda bored and impatient so I didn't make very good curls
I kinda wanted to see too how they turn out when I do them more quickly.
So that's the result after a little bit of curling and teasing.
I guess it's okay, but the curls are pretty.. well yes.. BAD!
Maybe I just should take the 2 hours I need to make a complete hairstyling with beautiful curls!
I don't get it how some people can make a perfect curled hairstyling in only 30 minutes! GOSH!

Then my outfit.. although I can't be going out in Switzerland like this.. sadly..
I just love the d.i.a clothing!
Skirt and top are both from d.i.a
Actually the skirt has shorts underneath, clever d.i.a. huh? :D

And here some random pictures.
Our guests came back while I was taking some pictures so one of them asked me if she should take some.
I think you can see pretty well which have been taken by her

When I saw the picture on the right in the first row I had the laugh like hell :D
It just looks so god damn idiotic! haha :D

My favorite is the right one in the middle

Here's the pic again in bigger.
Although my hand is a little bit like "huh? what's it doing there? kinda.. dead..?" :D

And last but not least a pic of my eyemake.
I'm wearing 14.5 circle lenses I bought in Japan this year.
As you can see my real eyecolor is green

Didn't do real big eyemake.. I just wanted to try out with lower lashes which go further than others I used before..
and the result?
well, I looooove it
And the lensecolor looks so damn hot in sunlight, as you can see on my fav pic above

So that's it for today. For my next entry I have even a REAL topic in mind, wow! haha :D

Days with our Guests and Coordinate

2010-08-01T14:24:00.000-07:00

Hi there!

Sorry that it's taking me again soooo long to write a new entry

Our guests finally arrived here on sunday last week so I'm kind of busy doing stuff with them.
I don't know why, but I'm freaking tired even without doing anything!

That's no good, 'cause the two girls are getting kinda "bored" of me
I'm just no fun right now, either an headache, stomachache, just daaaamn tired or stuff like that
Getting on my nerves too, 'cause I wanted to be doing a lot of things with them..
But well, now they're clubbing and I have the time to write an entry..

Here are the two girls I'm talking about!
Both real beauties awww~ I'm a gray cat beside them haha
The one on the right is my cousins daughter and the left one is her friend. Both of them live in Helsinki

So friday I had a day off and went to Freiburg with them for shopping..
Gosh I had a bad headache and got tired damn fast..

Here's a pic I took from the train on our way

Cute shirt I saw in one stores window.. but I didn't really buy anything there.. (only a dvd :D)

Here some randompic I took
The camera on the pic kinda broke today
I can't see anything on the display anymore! noooo

After my headache had gone we went clubbing for the whole night..
We went in the club, the 2 bought some drinks ( I didn't 'cause I was the driver) and we just got to sit down when some randomguy put a bottle of champagne on our table and said: "It's for you!" HUH?! ooooookay?!
A little later he came back and was like: "ugh, the champagne is pretty bad.. you wanna have a bottle of Moet?".. I refused.. and looked up how expensive Moet would be.. 130.- CHF!! I was more than just WTF?! hahahahahaaa :D
That was something, I tell you
Btw, my cousins daughter is a really great dancer!

On saturday I had to go buying something at the trainstation and before I went off my dad wanted to take a picture.. He said: "You are dressed so beautifully so I want to take a picture!"
I was just like: "Haaaaah?! You for real?!"
I was kinda surprised to hear something like that from my dad
So here are a few pics of my coordinate:

And no, it's not like you could nearly see my butt :D
It's the top which I have pulled more down so it IS on my butt

I loooove the ribbon on the back!

they are being fired from 2 ships on the Rhine..

So that's it now for today.. We'll see if I'll have something more interesting to be talking about next week♥

Coordinates & Nails

2010-07-24T02:50:00.000-07:00

Hi there peops!

Well todays entry won't be that interesting because I don't really have anything to talk about

But first off I want to show you my "Öömeli"!
Öömeli is a swissgerman word, haha! Oma is the original word for Grandmother.
Here in Basel we make out of everything a "li". "Li" is belitteling! Like cake=> Kuchen=> kueche (in Swissgerman)=>küechli <= belittled!
Öömeli is the "li" form in a even more strange way, and it makes it sound reaaaally cute haha
Well, why do I call her Öömeli?
It's because she's sooooo old!
Maybe you can see on the pic how old she's already! On her furr you can see it really good! She's slowly starting to lose a little bit hair. (She's already over 2 years old!!!)
She's a really though mouse! Every morning she's standing up there beside the food and waiting for a piece of cheese. If you give her something else in the morning, she won't accept it

So, enough talked about my Öömeli :D

Here's what I wanted to show you.
My 2 coordinates.
The first one is from wednesday evening. After work when I got home we went eating with a friend of my mothers and his son (he's 17! Have been knowing him since he's little haha :D).
So I thought, okay, why not change clothes and dress a little up
I'm really fed up with suits! (=_= )

Because I had braided my hair for work I had a little crappy curls and I was tooo lazy (once again) to straighten it. So I just left it the way it was and just made some curls on the side.

What I'm wearing:

Top: Delyle
Skirt: Delyle
Jewelery: Necklace from Paris kids and Earrings from LizLisa
Accessories: Scrunchy from LipService and Usamimi from Paris Kids

this here is the necklace from Paris kids
I REALLY do love it!
It's soooo cute! A little star as an alarmclock! Awwz

Here's a bad but more close up pic
I tried to make a picture from my make-up but my camera seems to be too old O_O;;
I was shocked that I didn't manage to make a good pic!
It seems that I will need a new camera soon
(YES! My hair is REALLY crappy!)

Here yesterdays coordinate when I went to the cinema with two friends to watch "The Karate Kid"! You should watch it, honestly! The movie was really entertaining and Will Smiths son, Jaden Smith, is soooooooo damn cute!
and by the way, I looooove Jackie Chan!
Top: LipService (the pic is sooo bad that you can't even see the layering of the top! )
Pants: Tally Weijl
Jewelery: Earrings from Pariskids and necklace from me jane
Belt: Twisty
Accessories: Usamimi from a store in Alta (Shinjuku) and Scrunchy from LipService

and then my new nailtips I put on yesterday too:

I bought these nails in Shinjuku in a shop called You♥You
In that shop everything is around 315yen. So were the nails!
The funny thing was, after that I went to Donki and saw the SAME nails for around 2000yen hahaha! :D

Then here again a more close up pic (aww started to like the haircolor now a lot!! )

Here's the song from the ending of the movie

No, I'm not a really big fan of Justin Bieber (to be honest, in cinema I thought it would be a woman singing! :D) but this song is cool! I like it!
Justin Bieber feat. Jaden Smith.

Well well, today my cousins daughter (a 18-year old girl) should have been coming here from Finland with her friend. Mhmmm, they didn't..
They messed it up with the flight, they thought the time the plane's landing in Switzerland would be the time it's starting from Helsinki-Vantaa.. Oops
So now they're not here, sadly!
But they got an other flight for tomorrow evening (at least something!)
It's the first time she's flying alone and I am really surprised, that her mother didn't check when she's flying and everything! I mean, my mother would have asked at least 10 times! O_o
I'm a little disappointed, but what should I do? I can only wait for her to come here tomorrow evening.. at least I have got some days of in the next 2 weeks so I can spend some time with them

By the way, I'm now definitely flying to Finland myself! I will be there from 18. until 22. August. Really short time, but better than nothing!
First going to Porlammi (a reeaaaal small village around 1 hour from Helsinki) where my aunt lives and for the weekend back to Helsinki.
Hope to meet some people there!

So that's it again for today, sorry if I'm only writing boring stuff again (>_< )

Daily Life again...

2010-07-20T09:43:00.000-07:00

Hellooo Girls!

Slowly I have gotten used again to the boring daily life I have here haha

Now I have to try hard again to find some things that I can talk about..

Well, Shanna and I have just returned from Japan last week, and what did we do?
Yes.. we ordered something again! URGH!
We talked about this in Japan, laughing, just like: "Nono! We have to safe up money"
aha.. okay? How was that again? Safe up?
That's not how we're supposed to be doing it haha

However we ordered some things from yumetenbo
I for my part ordered these:

Bikini in black!

and this top in Black and white

We still have to wait looooong for it! They will be shipping it on the 6.8. don't ask me why! Due to some circumstances we just have to wait.. ugh

On the weekend I met with a friend on saturday. Before that I went to ikea with my mum. Bought this awesome lamp:

The thing was, that I had already seen it before, but never bought it because it cost 60.- CHF!
Then this time when we went there the golden one (I originally wanted silver!) was in sale, for ONLY 10.- CHF!!! OMFG!
Couldn't leave without buying it

Then here's my cordinate for the day:

Sorry for the mess in the background and the bad pic

Tops: Cecil McBee
Hotpants: Only (or something like that O.o)
"Jacket": d.i.a
Belt: d.i.a
leggins: Yumetenbo
Jewelery: LizLisa
Scrunchy: LipService (the one on my wrist :D)

Here you can see my hairstyle better. I tried to imitate the one the hairstylist in Japan made me.
I think for my first try it's ok
And I know the picture is crappy, but the others were even worse

On sunday the friend I had promised the omamori to came to my place :3
We ate taaaaaaaaasty japanese curry! Awww~

Btw, I think I will be going to Finland in August! yay!
Now I just have to decide the dates, or well, my boss at work has to :D

so that's it for today, baibaiii~
