Sup Guys?~

Hey, how's everyone been?
I have... just under 2 months left in Japan. Sorry I haven't blogged here much, been blogging on my other site.

I'm going to be buying a tonne of lashes before I come back and open up a little shop~ So if you're interested let me know :)

Talk soon x

New Header

Finally getting round to sprucing up the place, still have widgets to do, but header's done~
What do you think? x

New Blog

Hey guys, I thought I'd let you know that I've set up my Japan blog and have been using that for a while now. I'll try setting up a google widget on it later on ~ it's http://pikapikalu.wordpress.com

Xx

New phone case and explanation

I wanted to explain why I've been posting in Japanese lately. It can be annoying and I'm sorry. I've been a bit behind in Japanese classes lately so I need to practice as much as I possibly can. I'll meet you guys who can't read it half way and I'll write a translation underneath the Japanese from now on.

So, I got my new iPhone case today, all the way from Hong Kong. (gotta love eBay) it's soo cute, my iPhone has ears now hehe. It raises up around the screen which is good cause I don't want to scratch it ^^

Music Posts.

I've decided that from now on, perhaps every weekend, I will share some of my favourite Japanese and Korean songs :) Youtube links of course~ I'll start asap ^^

Blog Makeover (In progress)

I figured that it's about time I gave the blog a bit of a makeover. It needed a revamp. I'm not quite sure what i'm going to do with it, but I'm hoping for a new title header, plus layout and colour scheme. I want to add extra info boxes on the page to, so that there will be more to read / do.

I will hopefully have these changes complete by the end of December, so please bear with me. And if there are any suggestion about what you want to see, please dont hesitate to comment ^^

Quick question guys~

I have a kyoto blog set up from a few years ago, but it's over on wordpress...
would you prefer it if i made a new one for  blogspot, or just use that wordpress one?
I dont mind either way ^^

Final hair (was a while ago now though)

Here's what my hair looked like when I finally got all of the blonde done.

Trying not to laugh in that last one :)

As you can see I haven't been wearing Gyaru make up recently. I'm out of practice, it's been a while since i've been gyaru at all. I've just faded out of it, but i'm on my way back guys, don't you worry.

My hair's kinda growing out at the moment. I really need to get it done again, I hate my ginger roots lol I literally have no money at the moment, so it'll have to wait for a bit.

I'm going to plan some blogs to do so that I don't fade off the radar again. I've missed you all~

xx

Quick Question Everyone.

Anyone be up for a swap?

Like make up a box of little things and we'll send them to each other. You must love opening presents as much as I do.

This is just a suggestion. Want to see if anyone is interested before I go ahead and start collecting things together.

Wouldn't be anything too big. But you can put things in it like make up, accessories, food, stickers, personal letter, things like that~

Leave a comment and tell me what you think. :)

What I've been up to lately..

Hey everyone, I sincerely apologise for the lack of updates over the past couple months.

I'm now at University, I thought I'd have enough time to blog once a day or something, but my course is EXTREMELY intense. x_x

Japanese Studies lol That's my main degree, but this semester I'm doing modules in Japanese Politics and Chinese Economic Development.

Mid Terms are next week, so i'm studying like crazy hehe Hopefully in the future, like next semester or in 2nd year i'll do a few blogs now and again in Japanese. For the practice and something different now and again haha.

Here are some pics from Halloween:

Vampire for the JSOC party :)

Zombie for ScaryTarts

Circle lenses certainly come in handy for Halloween :)

Finally fully packed! Short Hiatus

こんばんは皆さん～

So, tomorrow I leave for University. It's quite sad really, I gave in all my uniform and my discount card in at work, plus my room looks soo empty now everythings packed up. First time it's been this tidy lol

I'm going to miss home a lot, I know I am :/ But there's nothing I can do about it. I'll be up north far away from here. And OMG the travelling is expensive!! Unless I get a bus of course. But who wants to sit on a bus for 6 hours.... nope. didn't think so lol meh, i'll be home for Christmas.

Tomorrow we're setting off at 10am and I probably wont have internet set up until Sunday. Or Monday at the latest. For one post i have lined up i need to use the video program on my mac, and thats packed up. So once that's sorted you'll have a nice new post to read / watch.

Staying in a Travelodge tomorrow night, then moving in on Saturday morning. Party Saturday night after unpacking and having food etc then SLEEP. I'm going from a double bed to a single -___- thats going to take some time to get used to. Hope I dont roll out of bed in my sleep lol.

Here's me signing out for now. I'll still be checking my formspring.me so don't forget to leave me a message there, or any questions. [I have internet access on my mobile so i can get it and Facebook :P ]

Talk to you soon and Good night ^o^
またね！おやすみなさい！

GRRRR!!!

Well i did write a nice long post for you all.....


But i pressed the wrong button on the keyboard by accident and lost it ALL >_<

(ToT)

[Edit: nevermind. it did it :/]

Tonight, and What To Expect Today

~~~ヾ(＾∇＾)おはよー♪

Tonight is my leaving party at work because I leave not this monday coming but the monday after. Leaving for University woo! ☆

Unfortunately this means I lose my job too :( I'll have to cut down on buying stuff. Speaking of spending money, I need something to wear tonight. :/ I wanted to go have a look in Matalan, but my brother's using my car today. I'll have to have a search through my clothes and find some accessories.

As for what to expect from me today and tomorrow. I have in the works: A nail tutorial, a circle lenses review, a post about make up. I'll probably think of a few more over the next few hours. I want to make up for not posting so much. I went out for an early birthday party for me, with a few of my friends. We went to my favourite resturant, Pompoko. ♪ I mentioned it a few posts back. I took photos, so i'll post them ^^ ♪

Vlogs

( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/ｺﾝﾊﾞﾝﾊ!!

I've been making vlogs for my friend in America, dru. I haven't seen her in 3 years now and it's our way of keeping our friendship solid ^^ Plus it's nice to see how she is and what she's doing with her life. ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ

I've done two vlogs for her so far, but from the next one onwards I'm going to do them in broader terms and post them here on the blog.

My next vlog will be showing around my flat at University, so once i've fully moved in i'll film. :--☆--:

I'll be customising things so i'll show you those and perhaps make a few tutorials ^o^

New Layout and Header

So, here's the final layout and header I came up with after a few hours of pondering earlier.

Do you like the header? I thought it was better for a gyaru blog~

I added one of those clocks on the side as well as a flag counter. It's nice to see where my visitors are from ^^

x

Revamp =]

After reading one of Chaudie's posts the other day I realised that my blog needed a bit of a make over. I need better reading material on it, better posts too lol

Over the next few weeks I will change the layout and make a better header, add some widgets and awesome stuff. I kinda like the gyaru clock i've seen about the place, so i might add that in.

My posts will be better! I'm going to do some tutorials and reviews with better detail. I'll probably do a weekly gyaru photo post too~

If there's anything else you think I should be posting more of, or something i should do to the blog then please let me know~ x

Lack of energy, sorry..

I know i've been lacking in the blogging department recently and I'm sorry. I've actually got a few planned out but I haven't had any energy at all T-T I'm soo sleepy, like all the time. That and I've been getting the last little bits for University sorted out~ I just want to get there now lol

Booked a Travel Lodge for our stay there before I move in. 2 rooms with breakfast = £100. We were actually considering staying at the Hilton. But I was paying... so Yeah.

I've got soo much stuff to organise and pack over these next 3 1/2 weeks. My room looks like a bomb hit it at the moment :/ Got suitcases, boxes, new duvet, new pillows etc. That and I'm just generally untidy lol.

I get paid on Wednesday, where I will order some green circle lenses, maybe some new lashes soon~ I've got soo much to learn when it comes to Gyaru make up. I don't even know how to contour my face T-T and eyeliner goes weird when I do it :/ I'll have to practice.

Here's a ladybug on my Univesity booklets. cute ^o^

Going away and Gyaru Make Up

As i've been working loads recently I haven't had the chance to try my lashes with my circle lenses yet. But hopefully, my day off on Friday, I will try it and take photos. I'll flick through Popteen and Ranzuki and perhaps do a little tutorial from one of the looks in there.

I decided to go for a plain nail colour this week. The pink that I showed you a few posts back ^o^ The great thing is that I also have an eyeshadow that matches, so I've been pretty much using the same colour eye make up for a week~ heh. I was going to try an 'Up' design, like the ones I've seen on Tumblr. I've flicked through my j-mags too~ but they are either too time consuming or too plain. Guess I'll have to come up with a new idea somehow~ Any inspiration would be highly appreciated.

Me and my brother are going on a bit of a road trip in the next few weeks and we plan on going to London at some point. I'm hoping to go to Camden so I can buy lil gyaru style things, as I've heard they have 3d nail stuffs and some really cute places. I want to go to artbox too, see what the shop is like in person rather than buying off their website. We should be heading to Uniqlo too, which makes me VERY happy.

Expect many photos from our travels~ =D
