Flower Coffee Shop ✿

Hello, hello!

I would like to take back what I said about posting about my holidays to Japan and Hong Kong for now...LOL The reason is, the photos from my camera take FOREVER to load, no joke. So i haven't posted yet but i actually moved out of home at the beginning of this year and the thing is, the internet is pretty slow at my new place so I don't use it much, not just that, I don't really want to use it because one of the occupants is completing her final year of high school - priorities and I think there is a certain data limit (?) and I love to watch videos and what not so I don't wanna cap it by accident so I havent actually been updated on any anime for a while (since Kyoukai no Kanata and I've only managed to watch Nobunaga the Fool and Haikyuu) OTL So yeah, I literally left these photos to upload over night heh

ANYWAY so last Friday, my friends and I went to a really cute flower cafe!! And I thought I'd share some pictures I took B) I really wanna take more coffee shots in the future so to my friends out there who also into coffee culture: PLEASE TAKE MEEE i really wanna take shots of people in them as well so like mini casual/impromptu photoshoot B) i really like those korean style shots.... so inspiring *^*

My friend ordered the Cheesecake and Matcha hot coffee

Testing filters

Normal - no filter

I also got some new grey contacts! (Because I have a tendency to wear the same brand and style all the time - I usually wear GEO series angel or wing series, I still like them and buy them but I want to try a variety so I've bought dolly+ red lens as well as EOS (NEO?) sunflower series.) The one below is EOS Ice grey!
To be honest, when i first wore them, I didnt really like them (though it could be because i was under direct light). My pupils actually look tiny compared to the lens haha and my eyes are pretty small already to be honest OTL Just wearing 14.00mm or 14.2mm enlarges my eyes already and these 14.5 so...LOL Ye you can see what happened below. But to be fair, it didn't look too bad! If you like the halo effect but don't like the digital printing that usually comes with it, these are pretty nice and give the blended two tone (which I was going for). They were super comfy; like if I thought my old geos were comfy, these are like next level LOL By the end of the day, I actually came to like these lens alot despite my initial dislike, it could be my friends influence haha they didn't think they were too bad! :)

 

LOOK AT THAT GAP LOL

I think that's all for now. I think I'll be trying to post more pictures onto my tumblr or something; uploading here just takes forever? I'm slowly getting back into instagram so I have pretty recent pictures updated :)

Thanks for your time reading this! :)

Short Post/Update

Hello, hello all.

So I just got back from my second trip to Japan! I really hope to blog about it and post photos, though I should really do my first trip first but i doubt that will happen any time soon, or my trip to Hong Kong LOL). I actually just bought myself a sticker book to put all my purikuras in, so I'm gonna preoccupy myself now and fiddle around with them haha Surprisingly, I didn't find many (most likely not looking in the right place), so this one will have to do, it's cute so I don't mind it anyway :)

I hope I can start blogging about my trips to be honest. Maybe I'll start pacing myself with blogging because I'm trying to edit the photos too (still haven't finished last years trip) AS WELL as making some sort of cosplay progress. So much... so so much to do orz

Cheerio!

Thoughts on cosplay - Long post, prepare yourself

The fun thing about going to conventions is not just cosplay, but meeting new people!

I didn't really notice the cosplay community too much to be honest until recently. I guess I was just the type of person that would just watch anime, read manga and collect goods and not really interact with others with similar activities. Rather than saying i didn't interact, it was more like, i didn't have anyone to share the news with. To be honest, I didn't even know that there were others like me I guess. (Actually i remembered, there was one other - my cute kouhai in high school LOL) Although my school social group sometimes watch anime like here and there, I guess it would just be different, the reactions and what not. I remember when I was showing my friend all these goods I collected, they were shocked  (I could read their expression - they probably thought I was crazy, not just because I collected "useless anime goods" but i guess it was becuase i spent so much on them LOL)

Whilst all my other friends were busy buying clothes or makeup or you know, fashion related items (theyre quite fashionable), i was busting my money away on cds, magazines, collectables, etc. I remember at many points it even became frustrating for me because if i inputted anything I'm sure everyone wouldn't understand what i meant LOL (like if i really wanted to say a joke from an anime which was relevant to the conversation or when i asked if anyones watched xx anime or read xx manga and most people would just not even understand haha) It was like when I said I started reading yaoi and what not, everyone was like WHAT??? (and i remember someone saying they wanted to puke LOL) I guess my social group is quite westernised. Actually thinking about it, i dont think i ever really brought up anime much anymore in the last two years of my high school life because i could predict the outcome LOL

So if i had to be honest, I'm happy that I started thinking about cosplay again because i finally get to socialise with other people with similar interests with me ;w; Thank you! And I'm glad that the community is so welcome and nice ;w; I'm usually shy with strangers but I'm glad they welcomed me warmly with open arms. I haven't felt this since forever (not even when i entered university HAHA). I probably need to start building a cosplay list, a friend asked me what i wanted to do on the spot and it totally hit me then. I didn't even know what I wanted to do, but thinking now....THERES ALOT OH MY GOSH (is this even possible ~__~) I was just telling that same friend how, when I first began thinking about cosplay long ago, I wanted to cosplay all these cool male characters, but now i realise i look better as females or shotas OTL MAYBE ITS THE HAIR I TELL YOU. MAYBE COS I GREW MY HAIR SO LONG; GIVE ME BACK MY SHORT HAIRRRR NAOOO

Anyway, I'll just leave it at that. So for all those hesistating to take a step to do anything, i would say just go for it and try! Seriously cliche but you really never know what's awaiting for you. Sometimes it's a lesson to be learnt or maybe it can have a positive outcome!

(there's a lot of repeats oh well cant be bothered haha)

(Photo heavy) I'm slowly getting back into cosplay! (◕‿◕✿)

Awww yeeee you heard me.

To be honest, my first cosplay was actually in 2009 at main animania, where I went as Colonello from Katekyo Hitman Reborn whilst my friends went as Card Captor Sakura characters. I don't have many pictures and they're really derpy but heck that, I can just laugh at these in the future.

HAHAHA so ridiculous!

Anyway, so I only just decided to go to animania again last year when my friend asked if i wanted to cosplay with her (it was so last minute, like 1 1/2 weeks before the event haha!). She went as Rin from vocaloid matryoshka and myself as Gakupo. To be honest, I mainly went just because i heard Fumiko Orikasa was going *w* We were lucky enough to get a lot of photos with her and I got her to sign a cd of mine!

She is so cute!!! Obviously i don't know what she's like all the time but when we met her she was really quiet and polite!! *3*

Anywho, here are some selfies we took on the day *w* Thanks to Shu and Grace for taking photos :3

After that, I skipped a few events until literally two weeks before Room 801 was held, I was going crazy deciding whether to cosplay or not haha I was originally suppose to make a costume as Rin from the Nitro game "Togainu no Chi" until i remembered years back when I wanted to cosplay as Youji from Loveless but never really did. The costume was pretty easy so I left it VERY last minute. I remember buying the wig (which never came before the event) and ears online and made the costumelike literally 3 nights before. I bought the wig the day before and picked up my ears and dyed it that night as well as making the tail and teddy bear orz

Ye my friend was trying to photobomb in the last photo haha.

ANYWAY I GIVE UP FOR NOW. Posting photos on blogspot is such a trek, it takes FOREVER, FOREVER I TELL YOU.

I was going to do blog posts on my trip to Hong Kong and Japan from last year but I dont know...I'll have to see haha

Practicing Photography

Hello! Its been a long time! I always get lazy with blogging cos I get distracted easily or I cant be bothered trying to upload photos (which have piled up so much orz). And yes, i'm blogging at the moment because i'm kind of procrastinating haha. I'm supposed to finalise my second trip to Japan (which i'm heading off to in April) but i haven't booked the hotel yet ha..hahaha...OTL

There's so many things I want to post about but the effort..and time orz (I guess that's the joy of blogging though). Anyway, here's some practice shots i took yesterday. I haven't touched my camera in so long so everything feels so rusty @___@

(what is life)

Cute ha? Its called Koppu no fuchiko! My Japanese friend got it for me when she went to Japan B)

Anyways, gonna go procrastinate some more and edit 2000 photos from last years trip to Japan LOL
You will find me more active on twitter these days! I don't really update on facebook or instagram (though i might start picking up on insta some time .. maybe)

Take care! :)

I'm still alive.

Well, obviously tomorrow never really came haha. I really want to start blogging seriously but I keep finding silly excuses which prevent me to - -''

I originally started blogging intending to release all my stress and personal reflections (which I know write in a diary) as well as post things on things that I purchase on the internet however so much has happened, yet little has been posted. I don't think I'll post a recap of the things which have happened in this post or within the next possible two months LOL (I can't believe there's actually people who view my page though...I don't find this blog too interesting - which is funny because I still want people to read it haha) I'm still really indecisive as ever with my hair: can't decide whether to cut it or grow it long (the only reason i want to grow my hair is an appeal to mean factor LOL single lyf man)

After my previous post on March 2013, I have actually gone to Hong Kong and Japan and have also gone back to cosplaying fufufu (I attended Sydney's Animania in September which i may write a post about). I'm also doing photography now - i like to take photos or nature, everyday life and just anything i guess, although i tend to be one of those walk whilst taking pictures photographers so I apologise beforehand if my pictures look blurred or not straight rofl (I've always wanted to but I always took photos on my phone haha so before i left for Japan, I bought myself a camera - which I'll also need to make a post on).

Anywho, why am I blogging at the moment? Well, it's that time where I will start procrastinating soon! yaaaayy~~ - -'' If you didn't know, I am actually a full time uni student AND a full time worker as well where i work 30~40 hours a week LOL - I'm a workaholic.

I actually just came back from meeting up with some fellow uni students to do some group work, which I'll be honest, totally failed and we have to meet up again. It wasn't really a waste of 3 hours since we were at an Art Gallery and i love my art so yeah aha.

So I guess this post will be a photo dump of the pictures I have taken from today! :3 To those silent stalkers, thank you for reading my posts! :)

(Yes i love my filters, sometimes it's overkill please bear with me OTL)

(see that difference? - -'')

PREVIEW POST

Hint about tomorrow's post's topic :)
