Information Day + Spanking Key Board!~

Ugh I'm going to an information day for a job tomorrow~! I really don't wanna... I know I'm acting like a spoiled kid right now but... I don't even know if I got the job and yet their telling me to go to that talk... It frustrates me because it makes me think "Did I get the job? Maybe I got it coz they're letting me attend the Info. talk but then they never really confirmed it did they?" Aaarghh!!! I feel like pulling my hair out!

It's from 12:30 to 4:30... I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow... Well I hope we finish early... Because 12:30 to 4:30 is waaay too long for a talk... Ugh I'm so frustrated~ I really do hope I get this job.

On the other hand, it's been raining for the past 2 weeks now. And to be honest; I really don't like the rain specially when it's supposed to be sunny because it's SUMMER! But it's raining, I don't like getting wet when walking around town. Then there's this whole cloudy and dark issue which really affects my mood sometimes. I guess that's why my friends call me a "cat". But then cats love the rain don't they? Where are you Mr. Sun! Ugh~ it's adding up to my frustrations even more hahaha~

Today I went to my university to get the time I owed for my absence signed. So finally I'm finished with 2nd yr. and going up to 3rd. Whenever I think about it in that sense it makes me feel really anxious and scared inside. Like "What's going to happen to me after? What will I do? or Will I be able to sustain life?" it's starting to get to me~ I'm scared of the future and I just realized that I'm scared of becoming an adult. I'm turning 20 this october and my Grandmother wants me to go home for the Coming of Age Ceremony (Seijin no Shiki). I'm not sure if I will though? It depends on the circumstances I guess oh and the parents...

Ugh but anyway enough of my depressive mood~

Since I had nothing better to the other day and because I've been planning to do this since last year after I bought these cute little stickers! (^A^)y I finally was able to stick them on my laptop without any interference!

Tadah! Sorry it's a blurry since I was playing around with my dad's Canon 450 EOs camera (I think that's what you call it?). Oh and the other computer was used by mom she was watching this TV show back home~

To be honest I was a bit hesitant before to stick all of them on because I wasn't confident enough to type without looking at the letters. But they have letters on; it was just too small~ but now you can guess I'm a Very confident typer! Haha! *not really*(-.-")

"How are you?" it said haha! So cute~!!!

Summer begins with a clean room!~♥

Omg I truly apologize for not being able to blog for so long!!! I was so busy with my internship, case presentations and exams so I didn't have much time to rant as much as I wanted to do so~ But this week is the start of my Summer Vacation!!! So I'll be blogging as much as I can!!! Bring it on Summer!!!

You might've noticed I've changed my blog compared to the previous one. To be honest I'm still trying to get a hang with this new template that blogger has so you might find it really boring and I apologize! m(_ _)m

So what did I do since the start of summer? Well firstly, I had an interview on Friday and on Monday~ I thought I did well so I'm hoping to get in and rack tons of cash~♥ Unfortunately I'm not starting yet despite my wants to begin as soon as I can. On the other hand, my parents are pressuring me to start learning my theory test for driving... To be honest though (¬.¬) I'm not really keen on doing so... I prefer to take the bus for less stress and hassle~

After monday, yesterday which was tuesday I started cleaning my messy room~!!! My room looked like this before hand, I tend to leave things on the floor when I'm stressed and just tidy a little so I can walk around...

My Bed Before~

My Bed After~ (^w^)

My Messy Closet~

Tidy Tidy Closet~♥

I've decided to place my manga inside the closet rather than my bedside since it's quite crowded already~

They're a bit old but I still use them to pass time specially before I go to bed. The titles are High School Debut and Sprout~♥

Bed Side Table?

Yeah it's quite crowded since I have most of the things on it, such as my phone, pen,candle, ipod, and tissue. I find it convenient that way~ How about we zoom in to the things I fell in love at first sight on my bed side table?

My Bunny tissue holder~! My nose tends to bleed a lot so I keep them beside my bed in those events!

Tadah~! This is where you grab the tissue!!! (^A^)

I'm a Princess Cat Mug!!! Water I get thirsty from time to time so~

Tofu mobile holder? I don't know what you call it but it's where you place your mobile phone~

I know it's not on my bedside but it's one of the things I fell in love with~ so introducing my rabbit trash can!!! Cute no? (^//^)

Mirror Place~

If you're wondering what that stuffed animal is on top of the bag, it's my trusty foot warmer. I use it a lot in winter or when my feet feels cold. I normally have cold feet and hands they say it's a sign of low blood pressure? As well as not being able to wake up in the mornings properly...

That's most of it really, I have a few things to show you guys that's in my room as well.

This is what it looks like with my curtains open, so basically beside my bed is my window/glass wall and on the left side of this picture (which is at the head of the bed) is my glass door that leads to the terrace.

I bought this hand carved wooden rose from Switzerland a long time ago. It's lovely, and it was the first time I've seen a wooden rose so I bought a bunch right away. The vase was just decorated by me~ (^w^)

Wish bones!!! I collect them because of my memories as a child. My dad used to give them to me as a child and we would pull on each side of the bone. When it breaks the one who gets the biggest part of the bone gets his wish granted~ I guess it's just one of those sentimental things as you grow up.

And today, I decided to clean my lap top and customize the keyboard since I've been wishing to do so since before~ I'll show you guys the pictures tomorrow since I don't want to bombard everyone with too much pictures~

So that's it for today!!! From now on expect to see more posts from me since it's my summer holidays!!!*(^A^)*

Boyfriends and Make-up Samples~

Okay so once more I haven't been updating a whole lot~ but let me admit I've gotten really lazy lately. So I'll try and catch up with what's been going on for a while. I've been trying to look for a job here and there part time even for this summer since father's day here in Europe is around June, and not surprisingly my cash is cut short... But none has yet to give me a call but hey, let's do our best!!! \(*A*)

I'm also SUPPOSED to be on my summer holidays BUT I went back home in the middle of my internship for about a month? SO now, our administrator just gave me a call (which made my heart skip a bit since I thought I was about to get a job...) to wreck my sunny summer filled flowers and tell me that my schedule for payback is from this week on till the end of June... (T.T) I just feel like crying...

But anyways~ I'm just ranting with all of my big big problems that are as big as a speck...

So today right after my internship I went straight to dundrum to meet up with Wakiko. I didn't take any pictures since I left my camera back home and I was already late an hour... Let's not even go as to why I was late. (=.=) She wanted to meet up with me since she's going back home to Tokyo this thursday... I envy her I seriously do... I wish I could go home as well... Shopping, Friends etc etc is just way better there.

But enough about me, she was complaining about her Boyfriend with the same problem that we discussed about Last month with Mari. I don't think I'll be diving deeper into it today since I'm a bit squeezed for time. But basically we think her relationship isn't going anywhere at all, so were trying to think for a solution on how to fix this dilemma of hers... It was fun hanging out with her and kind of surprising for her to ask if we could meet up. She's a really nonchalant kind of a friend so she won't speak up unless you do for her. (-w-)v I really wish we could've taken a photo together though... Iphone was with me but let's be honest... Iphone camera is crap... Really crap...

So today while reading the local magazine (I can't remember which magazine it was...) But apparently they examined some of the make-up bar's testers to see which kind of bacteria was mostly present in the testers. The magazine claimed that there was a whole lot of different kinds of bacteria present in testers. That was not surprising though since the amount of different kinds of people do use the testers randomly and I mean I doubt the sales ladies change the testers everyday. Some make-up shops only change the testers when the item is finished or broken (yet some shops don't even change them even if it's broken...)

So they found out that the bacteria that was mostly present in testers like eye make up or lip sticks was E. COLI... Now E. coli is a bacteria present in the gut, so basically they are present in your poopies...

Question is, how did the bacteria from your poopie get to the make-up samples? Well think hygiene, simply some people don't wash their hands right after they use ze toilet and thus your poopie bacteria is present in the hands and gets transfered when someone tries to use a make-up tester. Disgusting isn't it?

Just imagine you trying on some of the lipstick testers that are out on the shelf, I know some try it on the hands but some ladies do try it on their lips because naturally the outcome is different on your hands than on your lips. So some do test on their lips to see if the color suits them and what not... Pardon me for the language but It's similar to putting some poopie on your lips or your face if you think about it... And I know none of you ladies would put even your own poopie on anywhere near your face so why put someone else's?

BUT I'm not saying that you guys aren't allowed to try testers anymore since it has the poopie bacteria. But you should suggest, ask or actually check how the shops hand out their testers. Like I know in mac they are very into hygiene where they have these little disposable brushes and what not for you to use so you won't be contaminating the tester or your-self.

That was just a little fact for every girl like me! Ladies just be aware of what you put on your face~! (^.~) I hope I didn't scare any of you or worst disgust any of you!!!

D&G Mickey X Minnie Mouse

Hey guys! Last week of internship this week!!! Woot~ I'm actually excited despite me having to go back on June and pay back the hours I missed... (-.-") I still feel really relieved that I'm done with at least one thing and just a few steps more before summer!!! I'm super super happy!!!

By the way~! I entered Electric Trash's competition!!! I hope you guys can vote for me!!! I am contestant number 67~!!! I just need to be in the top 10 so if you guys can please please please vote for me here on: www.electrictrash.com

Please & Thank you!!! m(_ _)m

Okay so recently I've been seeing the infamous mouse around the shops and magazines! Well not all shops but I saw him in Vivi as well! Now in all honesty before this Mickey boom has begun I've been wanting a shirt with him on since forever!!! (Last year probably...) But as usual luck was never really on my side...

Seriously though Mickey & Minnie are one of the most fashionable and fun Items must have!!! Well let's not forget the whole disney cast now shall we? (^A~)v

Lena X Mickey & Minnie!!!

Now for the D&G Spring 2010 line~ I know it took me a while to post it and spring is nearly over but... but! Since were talking about the infamous mouse let me show you guys anyway!

D&G Spring 2010 Southwest Inspired~

I seriously LOVE this ensemble!!! Seriously from the top to bottom!

I just remembered Lena wore the exact same outfit in Vivi~

Now I'm not a fan of this outfit but hey~ Mickey & Minnie are there! (-w-)

I went to Brown Thomas a few weeks ago and never really took notice of the ensemble that the D&G mannequin had on for show. But then after a few trips back I realized wow... I love that style... Yes I love all of what the mannequin had to offer!!! Sadly I didn't manage to take a pic but if I do visit Brown Thomas I'll make sure to take a pic but let me show you what "it"wore anyway from the D&G catalogue:

It wore this lovely denim blouse opened half way and underneath it was a Mickey&Minnie shirt~

Similarly to this both shirt and denim blouse are tucked in under this lovely mini ruffled skirt add on that lovely belt~!

On a closer inspection of the belt~ I seriously want this belt!!!! (♥3♥)

It's similar to this! Only difference is underneath there's a Minnie&Mickey shirt, the denim blouse had trimmed lace on the shoulders and instead of a long ruffled skirt it's a short mini ruffled one~ I'll take a pic next time no worries!

Lena X D&G she's wearing the same denim blouse as above!

Just for my amusement! (-w-) anyone notice from the last popteen issue. The similarity of the denim blouse with lace trimmings to the D&g denim blouse with lace trimmings?

It's from LizLisa~!!! Very similar aren't they? (-w-)

And lastly I leave you with one of the D&G Spring 2010 Line Ruffled denim dress!!! I absolutely adore (♥3♥)!!! There are similar ones in Zara I found~

Mac + Vivienne Westwood~

Hello everyone! Didn't have any internship today due to the bank holiday and I ended up slacking off and was a total slob monster. I feel really guilty since I don't like not doing anything productive~ (=.=)

Anyways, last night I decided to join a competition which really consists of you taking a picture of yourself and competing against other people with nicer pictures. Who ever gets the most votes wins~ So it was all fine since I took lots and lots of pictures and ended up picking 4. Since the event allowed you to submit only 1. I had to ask Mica, a friend of mine to help me pick. We decided on one, but she suggested for me to take another one with a whole new different mind set.

So I decided to do so, which ended up me putting on a different make up, curling my hair, putting on ribbons on my hair and such. It took us around 3 am to finish and it took as until 4 to decide which to submit and oh the irony we ended up with the first pic in mind before the whole ordeal... Now that was done I woke up at 10 which was not bad at all BUT stayed in bed until 4

(-.-) so really I didn't do much...

And I did swear to myself to get started with my writings~ sorry guys m(_ _)m it will definitely be out this month though.

On sunday, after a 1 week contemplating of wether to buy lashes or not. I ended up buying one! And mind you with no regrets!!! I love them!!! I bought the most recommended ones from magazines that I read. Although I do have to say I did regret buying the glue for it... Since it costed me 10 euros!!! Whereas I could get 2 euros for a decent one~ (_ _")

A simple laid back ensemble that I threw on in a rush...

The hat that I bought from last year in H&M, it's a brown color not green it's the fluorescent lights~ SO don't be deceived (^A^)

Mac Eyelash No. 7!!! It costs 11.50 euros which in my opinion is not bad at all! Considering how Macs are known for their good quality in cosmetics~

Yep me wearing the said Eyelashes!!! I heart it~ (♥.♥)

Mac eyelashes are surprisingly light in comparison to the other eyelashes that I've tried which made my eyes grow weary because of their weight! (-.-")

Overall I would definitely recommend Mac to people who are looking for good quality eyelashes and lightweight for everyday use~ People have been telling me about Shu Uemura, I have yet to try them. But I will sometime soon~! If anyone owns a Shu Uemura eyelash give me a shout~

(-^_^-)

Also bagged this Vivienne Westwood Boudoir Sin Garden Perfume since it was about time that I needed a perfume. My other perfume should be gone in a few days time so I needed a new one to replace it. Actually I'm not a fan of Vivienne Westwood when it comes to their perfume collection. I just never really liked the smell... There was one that I tried on before that smelled like insecticide... It was horrible it totally put me off their range of fragrance.

I was actually thinking of buying Black XS by Paco Rabanne it's a lovely addictive sweet scent that lasts for the whole day with just a few spray!!! I love it soo much and it remains as my number one choice in fragrances! Since I love perfumes that lasts and stays on your skin for the whole day without refreshing again and again.

But then it was one of those days that I wanted to try and change my scent for a while and try a different fragrance. Hence I stumbled upon Vivienne Westwood, I wasn't really willing but one of the sales ladies went up to me and gave me a spray. I found it not bad at all, and since it was just going to be for my everyday internship needs. I thought why not?

This wallet came with the perfume~ not bad at all right? *(^o^)*

Oh since I already mentioned it, might as well ask you guys if there are any good and long lasting perfumes that you recommend. Leave me a message~!

Cotton Cloud Summer Debut + Busy Days~

Oh gawd~ I apologize for not blogging for almost a month now. Ugh things had been hectic during internship... And I got a bonus on my first day in ICU, my CPC (Clinical Placement Co-ordinator - they are the people who guide us and look after us in the hospital since there are no teachers there. So basically they're like "teachers" note the open/close quote) looked like as if she wanted to eat me for basically not knowing what was going on... Well hell, how would I?! It was my frickin first day! I didn't even get a chance to look at the patient properly... Jeez~ I hate her really, whenever I see her face a dark dark cloud just suddenly appears above my head... (=_=)

Moving on to a better topic! I've been wanting to announce since forever that Nozomi was going to open her own fashion line called "Cotton Cloud". I just never got to it, I kept on forgetting plus with my schedule I never had a chance. You know the way how Nozomi loves her Maron-chan and Luna-chan so much~ Cotton Cloud are clothes for ladies and clothes + accessories for your little baby doggies that are designed by Nozomi herself. At the moment it seems to be geared more so towards your pups, but she does have some for us (ladies) but there's not much choices compared to the pups.

Nozomi has been advertising her Line in her blog since last month. To everyone who idolizes her like me~ her Cotton Cloud is now open! Cotton Cloud's summer debut started today via Internet Shopping! You can go here for the official website: www.cottoncloud.jp and here for the shop: www.cottoncloud.net

She modeled her own clothes for the advertisements in both Mina and Non-no this of June's Issue~

Cotton Cloud featured in Minna~

I've decided that she designed clothes better for dogs~ Maron chan and Luna chan!

A few more clothes from Cotton Cloud's Summer Debut~

In her blog she complained about how the spelling in Non-no "Cotton Clowd" was wrong it should've been spelt as "Cotton Cloud" (^A^)

笑っていいとも! Guest Nozomi~

Yesterday, Nozomi was featured in 笑っていいとも!(Waratte Iitomo!) wearing her designed dress and hat which are both up for sale now online! It's simple and lovely but really expensive though I have to say. I love her style and I did visit her online shop and looked at things that were available.

Here are a few pics of the dresses that I love from her shop~

Yep it's what she wore in 笑っていいとも!

It's costs 14,490円 when converted into euro it was around 100 euros (=.=)

The white dress that she modeled to debu cotton cloud in both magazines Non-no and Mina

This costs 16,590円 and when converted it's around 130 euros~

This costs 9,975円 and when converted it's around 80 euros...

The back is low cut~

So at the moment those are the three dresses that captivate me right away when I visited her shop. I love dresses, laces, and ribbons! She has all of those elements in most of her dresses and style there for I love it~

Now with regards to her design, it's simple and pretty casual, light and easy on the eyes. It's really really simple and casual which is good for people who don't want to stand out too much but want to remain in style. However, when it comes down to the price. I don't think I'll be spending 100 euros for a dress that simple... Really it's too ordinary for a 100 euro...

I know that she's famous and all that jazz but really you can buy something that simple half price in either zara or h&m. I LOVE HER DESIGNS and everything I applaud her for that but the price was really disappointing and shocking. It's just too much for those kinds of designs...

But then again everyone has their own opinions right? So tell me what you guys think!

If anyone wants to have a look around Nozomi's designs I'll leave the link below:
