I feel like it's been forever since I last did my nails! I recently bought a gel manicure set so hopefully I'm really excited and look forward to reviewing that later. :)
Today I'll be reviewing Kleancolor's 167 Metallic Purple.
First, I want to thank Elaine (dear-elaine), Jo-ann (panda-agenda), Catherine(rinkkopuff) and Nana (milkyrabbit) for nominating me for this award because honestly, I'm just happy anyone is reading my blog at all. It gets tough when you write something up and wonder if anyone is even bothering to read it. You know that feeling?
Play By The Rules:
If you are nominated, you have been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award.
Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy.
Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you have recently discovered or follow regularly.
Nominate those 15 blogs/bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
1. I've always thought that I was a much prettier brunette than a blonde.
Even so, I've always loved dying my hair blonde. The heart wants what the heart wants.
2. I'm a bit of a closet nerd.
Though I love fashion,
makeup, and all the other female obsessions, I have a secret love for
tech. My concentration in College is actually on Information Systems
which to normal people, I just say I work with computers. More or less,
I have some understanding of databases, telecommunications,
programming, and business intelligence. :)
3. I come from a rather large family.
I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. My sisters' names are *wait for it* Darling and Dalena. Yeah, the girls have strange names, wtf parents. The boys have very boring names not even worth mentioning. 4. I'm a New Years Baby.
Fun fact. I was born January 1st and my younger sister was born on December 31st. Funny thing is we're definitely the total opposite of each other!
5. I idolize Kato Miliyah so much it scares me.
Girlfriend can seriously do no wrong. Actually, I lied because her clothes is always so wrong it hurts. It should almost be a crime. But I love her music, dancing, and that she takes chances with her style.
6. I studied Japanese for more than 5 years.
I am not
fluent in the language at all though. I can understand people (with
basic understanding) but speaking it is totally beyond me. I think it
mostly has to do with confidence since I'm never comfortable speaking in
Japanese. Plus, I haven't taken a class in a few years now so most of
the good stuff is forgotten, lol.
7. I was in a gyaru-sa (gal circle) called Diamond Gyaru-sa.
It feels like ancient history now that I think of it. Like most things, there were good times and there were bad times. Let me know if you're interested in reading about my time in a gyaru-sa! Maybe I'll blog about it one of these days because there's so much to share.
Also, if you're curious, here's the most shameful video of my life (lol). I'm the Asian chick in black and red plaid with the giant bow (missing my dark, rock look). My hair was red at the time and very long (nostalgia). Most of the things discussed in the video is BS made up by the director for views so just a heads up. No, we do not get extra beef juice, wtf, nor do we even eat at Yoshinoya for that matter. Don't know how to para para either...
That's all! Hope you had fun learning about me. :)
I have two 10-page papers, 2 presentations, and 1 group project due this week. Yet, here I am blogging, wtf self?
So high waist bottoms have been all the rage this season but I feel so behind. I actually don't have too many high waist items in my closet but I am definitely looking to add some! I bought these shorts awhile ago thinking they'd be good office-wear in the future but somehow I no longer think they're appropriate. Too much leg. LOL.
Recently I decided to start vlogging. Mainly because I think it's a ton of fun editing videos, although not really the recording... but yeah. I also think it's a more personal feeling since you get to actually see more of my personality. Anyways, I'm still a newbie at this so please excuse my awkwardness. :)
So while I find vlogging quite fun, I still enjoy the process of writing much more though. So if you're like you're like me and can't watch videos at work (shouldn't be reading blog too probably), or just hate watching youtube videos, you can still read about the things I talk about here. I see no harm in doing both. :) Plus, I sound much more intelligent in writing than I do speaking, wtf.
Today I'll be talking about my "diet".
So some of you may or may not know that I've been on a diet for what feels like forever (3 months).
I don't usually talk about brands on my blog just because there's so many I'm fond of and the list would go on forever. But lately, I've been overwhelmed with love for rienda, rienda girls, and rienda girls' producer Muraoka Hitomi (村岡瞳美) aka Murami.
I think as I'm growing older, my style is slowly shifting towards a more mature (otona) look. I may not be dressing this way just yet (still trying to hold onto my youth guys lol), but I love following this look for reference of how I may want to dress in the future. Plus, these girls are just beautiful to look at. Not. Even. Joking.
Please call me Dolly!
