Hama Time

Sorry for the incredibly lame title XD

I played around with some Hama Beads.The best fun ever, when your too lazy to do anything or too down from feeling sorry for yourself.

hama beads cuteness
Do you like my fruits collection? I think I might use them as pendants and phone charms to send as gifts ^^

kiss kiss
I've been doing some embroidery, but my designs haven't grown or really changed :(

I need to learning differnt techiniques and try something more elaborate.

I love ribbon and polka dots.

Cute and nautical. I think I will save these for love package swaps or gifts, even though I should making things to sell. I'm awkward (>.<)

Sometimes I wish you could see my posts before I edited it, but then it would clog up everyone's blog feed if I kept posting my drafts XD and you would realise I can't spell O.O

Do you have a favourite pattern?
squares, polkadots, stripes etc.?

Today was different. I saw a couple of my college friends whilst in lolita, there was a bomb in the town hall, and there were Libyan protests, but at the end of the day everyone was safe and did my 7 hours at work.

eeewww toilets in the background

I should really get a proper Lolita coat, I lost my Spider one T_T Anyway back to the subject, gangster lolita. Do they really exist? Knives in their petticoats, guns in their bloomers and a tasor in their bag?

Well frankly, I hope not and I wouldn't want to meet any D:

a failed tattoo
I tried to 'punk' up my outfit, since my usual coffin bag didn't really go with my Dear Celine tartan dress.

5th Attempt

So I tired putting some temporary tattoos on, but after wasting 4 the 5th on stuck!

Secondly, I wore a cross pendant which was given to me from the sweet Calia Yang. It's sparkly :3

And then I caked myself in make up.

usual mess in the background
I thought my outfit was ready for a coffin bag now XD

Cute Lolitas

Then I went to meet up with Katie from Why-So-Rori and her sister for tea and crumpets.

Tea and crumpets
I had rose tea at the tea house and then we went to a lolita photoshoot!

from the day time lolita to the take away worker

and then I went to work, phew it's hardwork being a Lolita XD

I feel happy!

What do you find hard in your everyday life?
on a serious note mine would be racism.

Gyaru Inspiration - Vivi Mag Scans

If you read my pages before I went into blogger meltdown (ok very dramatised) last year, you might remember that I wanted to try Gyaru.

Vivi Jan 2011
I thought I would share some scans and how Gyaru is influencing me atm!

I want her hair!

I love the knitted one pieces, I wish I got bought some in Hong Kong, but if you don't already know I'm called a tall fat ass back in Hong Kong XD (clothes/tights are too short for me, and clothes were generally too small/tight)

It looks fierce :3

I've successfully self tanned my legs, but it's not the weather for shorts and nice skirts atm so I can't show them off.

However, I'm not sure what to do with hair, make-up and outfits! I've tried looking for Gyaru rules, but it just gave me a list of different types of styles. I'm lost :(

A group of cute girls with amazing legs
I was also determined to go on a mini diet to see if it would slim down my thighs but gave up after a couple of hours and ate 300 grams of hula hoops

I've been put off trying Gyaru, because I thought it was too sexy and feminine for me and the amazing pro Gyarus make me feel intimadated XD

What are you scared to try?
Also the most amazing Gyaru Blog - Moments like Diamonds (you have to check it out!)
Are you a Gyaru can you send me helpful links or give me some advice?

Exchange Program 2011!

I thought I would share what has been keeping me from the blogosphere for a week.

Simone & Svenja
It was great to finally have my German exchange partner to come over to stay with me!

Rainbow

They visited alot of different cities with their college and then when they were back we went to the beach, cinema or meet up with other people on the exchange.

Lolita Craft Meet

I organised a Lolita craft meet for when they came over and it went quite bad, but at the end of the day I think it was okay. I thought it would be nice for them to see what Lolita meets were like and I think they enjoyed it!

Thank you for everyone that came and put up with the venue troubles XD

Group Photo

Also I was stood on a chair XD I can't wait to see the other photos from the trip. The exchange program made me realise I have a rebel inside me!
I'll miss everyone! I hope to keep in touch though ^^

Which language would you love to learn?
I'm very jealous of naturally bilingual people (their mother tongue is different from their national language). Even though I should be naturally bilingual I'm not XD

7 things

Sorry, sorry ,sorry T^T

Thanks Gerry Tales for tagging me.

So 7 things I think are my beauty characteristics
my eyes, hair, cheeks, being Asian, skin, figure, scars

Eyes: I have double eyelids and dark coloured eyes, which I like ^^

Cheeks: I love it when people smile and they have baby cheeks, it's so cute and makes me happy.

Ethnic Background: I can make Asian jokes.... I think that sums up my love of my complexion aswell.

Hair: It's naturally straight and black, and was quite thick before I decided I like having it thinned out :p

Scars: I have them from excema and life experiences. I think they make you unique and everyone has a story behind it, but now I'm trying to get rid of them....the ending of a chapter :(

Figure:

I find it funny when people call me skinny, because I used to be the chubbiest out of my friendship group. I think I'm lucky to still be slim considering how much I eat XD

Yep I used old photos... I felt awkward taking new pictures of things I like about myself XD

I tag Saving Capulet, Why So Rori, Shou -Chan, Rocking Doll Musuem, Quirky Explosion, Snugtrition

What do you love most about youself?
