First outings this semester!

Uni started this week, but I am sooo totally not ready to get down to business!

It's like, every holiday needs to have at least a week of doing absolutely zilch, and I just haven't had that yet haha

So this week, I've been meeting up with friends here and there and just catching up with everyone and eating way too much QAQ

Warning: much of this post is just food photos! X'D

On Monday, LL and I revisited Sushi Factory on Vulcan Lane (Auckland CBD). They had pink umeshu!!

Ok we didn't buy it because we went at lunch time and we both had to get back to uni in the afternoon. But the bottles are really pretty, no??? Hopefully we can try it another night, but we've planned for a Sake night which will (fingers crossed) go ahead next week. I need hot sake in my life <3

Sushi Factory also had some dodgy as sushi on the conveyor belt when we first got there... Honestly conveyor belt sushi is not that great in NZ. There just aren't enough customers for the sushi to continually be fresh! Not to mention the prices are like, what.

Sketchy as heck black medium-rare beef.

I ordered some kind of fried crumbed chicken katsudon thing which made me miss Japan cause it was (as typically) hella expensive lol

Oh hey it looks good in the photo! XD

We were actually supposed to go to Mamak (a Malaysian restaurant at Chancery) but we got there and it turns out the place is closed on Mondays wtf.

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

I ended up going there (Mamak) on Tuesday with Tenshi instead, and it's a really nice place!! Super small but absolutely lovely in every way~

The laksa I ordered is really photogenic right? \(//∇//)\

Portion sizes are actually very decent. This bowl was over 1/3 the width of our 1 person wide table so it's really massive and the contents appear small. I could barely finish it, that's how big the bowl was!

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

Finally found a chance to catch up with VYL this (friday) morning after what feels like forever. We checked out Federal Delicatessen which is possibly the only American Diner-esque eatery in Auckland or New Zealand for that matter. I was really excited for their poutine as it's the first time I have seen poutine in NZ, but unfortunately it failed on many levels. In particular, the chips weren't even done as well as a regular fish and chip shop, and that gravy was just SAD.

The Toasted Reuben that VYL ordered was pretty good, but it's a tad expensive and honestly I don't think it's possible to screw up on a pastrami and swiss sandwich in rye bread with sauerkraut (which I'm pretty sure is canned). 

Surprisingly the place was really packed when we left at noon too! It's probably because the diner is right opposite the sky tower. What a convenient location...

Interiors are pretty cool. The waitresses wear cute little dresses too! And it's nice and clean.

Oh yeah, an uncle sitting at an outside table waved me and asked if I had a good meal .-.

I don't get waved down often, so it was a bit odd. I'm convinced that man is the boss in disguise, but VYL thinks he's just a random hobo. What hobo would be allowed to occupy a table (for hours and hours just to smoke) at a diner that sets such high prices though?? He's definitely the boss! >:|

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

Also today, Hana Emi Doll members planned for a meetup in the evening, but Pat and AP couldn't make it in the end so it was just me and Roxy ;-;

We went corset shopping as planned, and actually ended up buying corsets! I originally wanted to look and try first, but somehow I got swept away and ordered one lol *no self control*

Roxy's corset was already made, but they didn't have one to the right length for me so I ordered one. It's going to take about 2 months for it to be ready!! 2 long painstaking months to wait </3

I can't wait to start waist training eep!!! >w<

Anyway we were planning to go ktv afterwards, but since it was just the two of us, we decided to go shopping (for lashes at Ippondo), pool (at KISS which is surprisingly in pretty good condition compared to the other pool places around), and dinner at Nol Bu Ne!

Speaking of shopping, on the way to Ippondo we walked past this weird art display on the walkway! When I was in Zurich there was a super awkward and view obstructing crane as an art display in the middle of the city. I was telling Roxy about it when BAM out appears a random art display in NZ wtf

It's a couple of kiwis or ducks under a danbo looking box @-@

I have no idea what it's about, but the entire thing is rock solid. You can find it on Queen St just up the road from the White House, in front of Myers Park.

Ok back to dinner! I ordered fish roe soup thingy which is supposed to be spicy but I think I've developed an immunity to chemical chilli </3 

Perhaps BT chicken (super super spicy BBQ chicken wings) killed my tastebuds last semester after all lol

Their potato is just as sweet and perfect as ever. I usually visit the place just for the purpose of having their sweet potato lol. It's the first side dish on the left and doesn't look great, but tastes delicioussssss!

After dinner, we made a quick trip to daiso for my cheap but really good to use daiso eyelashes haha. I buy the really sparse long lashes with a thick band from Daiso as a base, to get my lashes to face up (and create a round eye shape). It saves me having to curl my lashes hehe. Although the effect isn't quite the same, but at 8am on the way to uni with very little sleep I honestly don't care~

We thought really really hard about what we could do after that, but apart from drinking and/or clubbing there was nothing else to do. The weather today was also ridiculously typical of NZ with sun showers, sudden downpours and random gusts of massive winds so we couldn't even venture out on to the viaduct. I can't wait till shops start opening to 9pm as a regular thing. We need it in NZ. Need it bad.

I haven't done much uni work this week, so I'll be really busy next week putting my life back together. Hopefully I can start releasing my travel posts soon though! They're going to be hella long with wayy too many photos~

Don't worry, not many photos will have my face xD

Hotpot is the best in a cold autumn ~

Recently my newsfeeds have been flooded with super gorgeous photoshoots in sakura, summer outfit hauls and OOTDs, kawaii little girls in yukata (thank you Humans of New York （≧∇≦）) and gorgeous girls in bikinis. Thinspiration much? Haha~

While the northern hemisphere has settled in to the swing of carefree summers of bbqs, beaches, massive-cosplay-making-plans etc., NZ is officially in autumn. Only, Autumn this year is weirdly bipolar. If you heard about NZ, chances are you will have heard about out wickedly unique weather; most days we get all 4 seasons, and occasionally multiple seasons at once. It's not uncommon to see a beautiful blue sky with the sun shining brightly at 20 degrees celsius, but rain is absolutely pouring down.

This week marks the start of the second term of first semester. I'm super excited that my travel plans are drawing closer (have I mentioned that I will be in Europe June 26-July13 and Tokyo July14-15?)! But at the same time, the sudden drop in temperature has been quite the shock.

Last Sunday, the night before uni, I finally got to visit a hotpot buffet for the first time in YEARS. Some people call it steamboat but directly translated from mandarin, 火锅 is actually 'fire pot' so I call it hotpot.

Photo from Google. We were way messier than this LOL

I got to catch up with some uni friends whom I never seem to meet up with anymore even though we go to the same uni lolwtf. Chinese hotpot restaurants in NZ are usually buffet style, so we completely pigged out and ate wayyyyy too much!

Our buffet area looks something like this stock image, but there was a loooot more meat. And actually just a much larger food variety than this image.

I gained 2.something kg from dinner. Yes, I weighed myself before and after >> << >>

This restaurant was extra awesome because it's the first hotpot I've been to where they serve scampi!

This is scampi. And scampi is delicious.

Unfortunately we were too far from the buffet area to catch the big ones, but the smaller ones were nice too ~ next time I will sit my arse right next to the buffet area for those scampis!! >:|

Is anyone else in the Southern hemisphere btw?@@ it feels really awkward uploading thick winter OOTDs when most of the people I follow are in summer right now QAQ

=^.^=

Thoughts :: Career vs. Gyaru

TL;DR is the last paragraph.

Yesterday I finally checked my Snow Rii facebook after a couple days of hiatus. I used to be logged in on Snow Rii on the facebook app, and my private account on the safari browser, but recently there's been too much random stuff on Snow Rii's feed so I changed accounts.

It was really shocking to be greeted with a link to ameblo, where egg was officially announced as ending in a month.

Honestly, it's like the drama in the gyaru community never ends. before something ends, something else would start up. And even if there's nothing, something gets stirred up anyway. It's kind of tiring :/

I like meeting all the girls in the gyaru comm, or at least most of them (plain truth: some people are just unpleasant) but it's so abstracted from the needs of daily life that when I look back on what I have done this past year, I really noticed how much time was wasted doing....nothing? Nothing of value anyway. Just opinionated people posting stuff 20 times a day, saying things that make them all high and mighty but are actually irrelevant to probably 99% of the people that skim it.

The energy has also been so low in the gyaru comm what with all the magazines going. Tbh I was a little sad about it too, but life goes on, and it isn't the end of the world. I liked egg too - don't get me wrong, it was one of my favourite gyaru magazine. And it will always be the most fun gyaru mag in my eyes, but I guess because the past 2 issues have been dreadful, I wasn't too sad to see it cut before it gets worse. #nofilter lol.

Recently I also bought some more clothes to fill my wardrobe. Looking at this cart, I bought about 1/4 mainstream clothes/accessories. Gyaru obviously is quite expensive, especially since I really really want to own something with ma*rs' gorgeous prints, and it's reaching the point where I actually cannot/should not be funding both work, Lolita, and gyaru clothes. They're all expensive wtf, and combined together is just unmanageable .-.

Lastly of course, there is also the fast approaching issue of finding a post graduate job. I study IT which opens a huge number of career opportunities ranging from a nice small 9-5 job, to positions in massive firms. I still don't know if I want to work those 80hrs+ a week jobs, but at the same time if I settle for a 9-5 job it feels like I'm actually just....settling. Both have their perks, so it's a real struggle trying to decide what would be the best approach. After all, it's a lot harder to do a career change once I am officially out in the working world...

And how does it all tie together? Well, I'm mostly trying to decide where I want to go in the gyaru community or perhaps withdraw from it, and how to balance reality with the gyaru lifestyle! Both are so consuming, I'm really torn! Are there any gyaru people that work high profile jobs? I really need to find some people I could look to and see how they got to where they are, and whether it is actually possible to juggle both?

A slight mixup with my Disqus QAQ

Don't know if anyone has noticed, but all the comments on my blog are gone T________T

This is seriously devastating to me. I'm still in shock over the fact that I won't ever be able to see or retrieve the comments anymore....


How this happened was, I set up on disqus with 'snowrii' and registered this blog to that disqus account. Later, I changed the URL, and registered the current url to my new disqus account (set up with my email) because of conflicting names and all. I completely overlooked the fact that my disqus comments were still linked up with my snowrii disqus.
When I failed to combine the two accounts, I thought it would be easier to just delete my snowrii disqus, but of course it took all my blog comments with it.....

I didn't back up my accounts on disqus before deleting that account :( really all the deletion did was make it easier for me to log in to disqus, but iofanhwaikejnfewlknfakwefnalke I should not have done all that T_T


Please continue to talk with me, I promise this won't happen again! QAQ

I can blog from my phone now!

So today I finally sniped a good deal on an iPhone (64gb 5s gold) and am back in the land of non-lag! This year I've been having such terrible luck with technology- 

- first, galaxy s3 dies

- then my brick phone has a line of dead pixels

- then my iPod touch lags sooooo bad (no exaggeration. Even Apple products lag if you use them for long enough)

- this week my netbook of three years died (something corrupted on c drive, will have to reinstall windows again)

- also this week, managed to burn the capacitor inside mom's desktop computer monitor.

So I'm reeeeally glad right now to have this new phone that DOESN'T LAG!! Pretty sure this is on the lower end of first world problems yeah???

Hopefully I will be blogging more now (and be more active on IG) since I can post on the commute to/from uni!

Also, now that I have secured a phone, I can buy kawaii My Melody cases for it! Seriously a huge part of why I wanted an IPhone. :)))))))

Retail Therapy, and I'm getting a new hairstyle!

So I know it's Wednesday, but I am sooo tired of the uni work that's piling up and I just really needed to take a break and clear it all from my mind for a bit.

I was actually supposed to buy some clothes for work and interviews and y'know, more formal occasions. However I made the mistake of checking out Tatty's first (it's a resale shop on High St, Auckland CBD) aaaaand of course I ended up buying *sorta* not work-able clothes.

Ok the blouse is kinda cute, it could work.

Very light pink, with a hint of peach. $30

The brand of the blouse is SOUP which apparently is big enough in KR to warrant a dedicated e-store. Pretty happy with this buy, knowing the brand LOL #BrandHoarInTraining

Tatty's prices are a little high, but resale in NZ doesn't seem to have the same idea as resale in US/Canada soooo This blouse for $30 was pretty ok. I gave in and bought it before they slashed the prices since it's cute ;v; zero self control there.

Then I found this adorable skort which I really did not actually want to shill out for, because let's be honest - I'll most likely never wear it out. It's too short. But that's ok, I still happily bought this for homewear :')

Who can say no to onespo *brand new condition* at $15?

I especially love onespo's Daisy items. Super wanted the apron-type dress and the matching wedges (or was it heels?) Anyway the series is super damn cute la!

Tatty's is the only store I've seen japanese brands in. I previously spotted Princess Melody and Sugar Gloss, and today I also saw a Bodyline skirt so I'm suuuuper addicted to this store atm. Gonna check it out again next week to see if there may be any new goodies >w<

I swear the store is run by an Asian person. How do they judge brands like these eh!? There's a surprisingly large amount of asian-style clothing!

Anyway, moving on.

I also bought some hair dyes and cut my hair today.
No photo of my hair yet, but I am super happy with my hairdresser right now. He cut it perfectly <3

Freshlight Passion Blonde | Champagne Pink

Passion Blonde & Champagne Pink color charts

The pink is quite subtle... TBH when I went dye hunting I wasn't too sure what I wanted. I actually wanted to cut one side of my hair super short and then dye the whole thing ash, with red streaks, but then I saw this pink and decided to try it since I haven't done so before.

Plus, I have been waiting for Ippondo to stock the Freshlight creme dyes for forever. The texture of these are gorgeous, and they are so so so much easier to work with than the freakin bubble dye >:|

Unfortunately I didn't end up cutting my hair super short, but I did dye the blonde today. I didn't go even close to blonde - not even close to orange! - but it did lift my hair a tiny bit....

I'm really rusty with hair dying now. I look at my hair and it's like "...I knew this was gonna happen, why was I so stupid with applying the dye eh" ==
So my hair isn't exactly what I had had hoped it would be, however I will be applying the pink on Friday *fingers crossed* and if the pink does what it should, then the overall effect should still be pretty good ><


We're finally halfway through the last week of uni urgh! Thank goodness holidays begin in 2 days - unis in the northern hemisphere should be in the midst of final exams now? So jealous of my friends in Toronto who are planning their summer vacay at the moment ;v;


Speaking of vacay, I may be visiting Europe in Late June / Early July! It's not very ironed out yet, but if I do go, I will be travelling around Prague and possibly surrounding cities/countries for about 15 days!!! ><
If there is anyone in the region, I would love to meet up!
Also, if anyone lives in that area and can recommend me good restaurants/eateries I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!! :D



OK now to begin that literature review due next Tuesday...*flubber flubber die* Dx

=^.^=

A weekend of getting back into the swing of life

The past few weeks have been a bit of a drag. I keep wanting to, and attending, events - but never get around to editing and uploading the photos for them. As one would expect, putting things off here and there, and one day you wake up and realise that everything seems to be behind schedule.

Well I finally decided to take a small break and breathe, so yesterday my mom and I went around for an afternoon of eating!

Even though I brought my camera, I didn't end up taking any photos of our food. Rare right? xD
We had a huuge gelato at a new gelato store in Browns Bay (it's beachside), with Coffee Walnut and Pistachio on a waffle cone. The coffee walnut was actually really good!
Then we swung by Mairangi Bay to get cookies and fish from a fish & chips store that mom has been craving for at least a month now. Can't nobody stop a craving woman! >:|

Browns Bay! It was such a gorgeous day. Behold my great panoramic photo-taking skills. :P

Daylight saving officially ended today. Even though I got an extra hour of sleep and feel really good now, I'm also a bit sad that summer is over :'(
Super envying those of you in the Northern Hemisphere who are entering summer, some going on summer vacay soon! Ahh a holiday would be so good right now...

Style

I've also been taking a break from my usual style. I really needed to ground myself for a while, and properly fix my frame of mind for studying/working and all that shebang. Midsemester is coming up; the pressure is on!

I cut my nails too! It's been a while since I had *short* nails, but they're going to stay like this until perhaps midsemester break starts...or when I'm ready to jump back into the gal life (completely) again ><

Makeup these past two days. Really toning it down ><

I really miss being flashy, but I'm so un-inspired with my wardrobe recently. I don't know if I should get more clothes or what.... actually who am I kidding, of course I need more clothes. But until then, I think I will coord my more mainstream clothes for a while and take a break from the kawaii life. I will definitely be returning though ;-; can't live without all that glitz and glamour and frills and lace!

I also bought some new stationery today - the japanese store downstairs in Albany Mall stocked up on a lot of sanrio merch, mostly hellokitty and little twin stars! Of course, much of it is entirely useless (in NZ for sure), but I did get a few anyway. The cardboard shelves are also gorgeous!

taking a break from the kawaii lyfe wuuuuuuuut? xD

I hope to start doing and posting more interesting stuff soon ;-; life seems so plain atm! ><

=^.^=

Update / Should I do wishlists?

Hiya everyone!

Seems I haven't posted in a while!
Actually, I know it's been a long time because I have this huge collection of photos on my USB (probably 2gb???) that are waiting to be resized and blogged, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet! QAQ

It's now the 5th week of uni- which means this week and next week are filled with tests, assignments, and presentations before our mid-semester break. two weeks of time to catch up on work - YES PLEASE

Yep, so that's the state of my life at the moment- lots of procrastination and putting off work till the last minute, resulting in a lack of blogging ;^; SORRYYYYYYY

On a tangent: does anyone watch Revenge? The new season just started airing in NZ not too long ago, and we're on like the 3rd ep or something and it is just as good as ever omg! In comparison, I'm rather disappointed with the current season of Scandal, which happens to air right after Revenge on Tuesdays. Thoughts? Opinions? :/


Through the past few months of blogging on Blogger and really connecting with other bloggers through bloglovin' and whatnot, I've come to realise that many people seem to post wishlists / favourites once in a while, if not monthly. Should I post my wishlists? I spend so much time looking through shops online, I could probably come up with a decent wishlist every month LOL. Would anyone be interested though?

I gotta get back to finishing my assignment (due Friday and I haven't even started eek), but please comment and tell me if you would like to see wishlists from me!! Also, if you do want wishlists - would you like it to be 1 style / month or just everything? For those that follow me on Instagram (@snowrii) you will know that I like many styles so... not sure how I should approach this whole wishlist posting thing @-@;;

JL's Birthday (last Sunday) and upcoming posts

I've come to realise that several of my friends' first name begin with J so it's going to become terribly confusing down the line.
I'm too lazy to go back and fix my earlier posts, so fingers crossed I never forget anyone's name (heh hehe), and from now on I will reference by first and last name, except for wifey and Tenshi because those aren't their actual names anyway .-.

So first of all, I should say that I'm really not supposed to be blogging right now, but it feels like I haven't posted anything in a loooong time. Is it really only week 2 of uni!? Somehow time flies too fast, and the mountain of work is being continuously pushed off to the side and replaced with mindless scrolling through facebook and watching all of eatyourkimchi's FAPFAP videos. ;-;

Upcoming posts

• Metamorphose fukubukuro 2014 reveal / Presents from wifey and Tenshi from Japan
• D.I.A belt review
• Nivea deodorant review

So many reviews wtf. Goes to show I haven't been out much ==

Anyway, the Nivea deodorant is from KnotJustAScarf who received several of them from BeautyReview - if you're reading this Arietta, thanks!

JL's B'day

JL is a friend I made in like, second year of uni through infosys, which he majors in and I take many courses in. His birthday was actually yesterday, but we celebrated it on Sunday. Unfortunately it happened to be iceskating in the afternoon, and I have pretty bad memories associated with iceskating and zero good ones, so I had to skip that ><

Later, I met up with them for a bit of pool, and dinner~

wifey took this photo...I look so noob wtf ;-;

I didn't expect many photos that day, so I went ahead with my half-assed uni-level-effort makeup... Actually jokes, I can't even be bothered with blush or eyeshadow anymore. So yeah, be prepared for nubface & mean eyes :<

We had dinner at a Thai restaurant in Albany. This was probably the first time I've had Thai in the last 5 or 10 years...

It was very strange having such runny and sweet curry, as I've recently been frequenting to an Indian restaurant in Browns Bay with my mom. Their $10 mains for dinner are just such a bargain, it's hard to say no after a long day.

Nevertheless, dinner was really enjoyable, and I met/caught up with some people I rarely see these days~

Photo for wifey's instagram

Duck curry! really nice *w*

Our flaming chicken which stopped flaming as soon as it got to our table :'(

group photo!

The last photo was taken after some people left, but that's ok since it's pretty much everyone from this group that I hang out with anyway ~

We also went to Movenpick for dessert, where wifey and I binged on 3 massive scoops of icecream (the guy working at the counter was so nice!!!) and this chocolate espresso cake.

I think I've already posted it on instagram, but I really need to reinforce that this was taken with hardcore lighting. 2 lights from different phones. lol.

/can'tgetoverit

so beautiful, delicious, and fattening.

I definitely ate too much that day. My stomach hurt all night ==;

Wifey and I also gave JL a tie, and a moustache car magnet.

Which he (amazingly) managed to put on his car upside down wtf.

I hope it's correctable, since I don't know if it's actually just magnetic or if there's glue involved...

What it looks like. Photo taken off google images

While looking for the above image, I stumbled across this.
This would have been pretty epic for JL's car too. heheheheheeee

Anyway, that was last week's little adventure. I now have the larger part of my 50 page infosys paper on Tweets during Social Crises to read and summarize, fun timez!

=^.^=

Finally on my last year of uni...

Today is the fourth day of semester 1, 2014.

I am so glad that I will be graduating at the end of the year. I am actually so through with the life of a student - long as holidays between semesters, yet every day of the semester it feels like there is no time for anything.

This year I have 3 papers' weight on a project, for which I just had my first meeting with my supervisor and the owner of the project. I'm super glad that they are really nice and thoughtful people, and were happy to adjust the project scope a little to accommodate for my chosen career path.

At the same time, I am yet again awash with anger and frustration at my degree coordinator. I am so so so angry that he sent out notifications so late, didn't keep any of us students up to date, or provide any resources or even tell us where we could perhaps find resources. If my project wasn't within university, I would probably be very stuck right now doing something I can't even do, so that's a plus at least?

I really hope that I can do a good job with this project. It's going to be challenging, but it also offers an opportunity to cover several jobs - like working on a commercial project all by myself!

The downside is that the lab I will be working in *perhaps much of my time* is in the basement with no windows. At least it's not too small in there so claustrophobia hasn't kicked in yet. It's very cosy and clean down there actually!

These few days has been so busy and hectic it's crazy. Perhaps I am putting in more effort into this year, as it's weighted quite heavily in my degree. It's a good thing. I want to do well :)


I will still blog often though! Need to make good use of any spare time to produce blog content and live a life outside of this project! ^-^

=^.^=

Wasabi Icecream, Chocolate creations, and brief update

Hiya! Just a quick post because I haven't put up anything today, and it just feels like ages since I posted. Even though my DIA fukubukuro reveal was just yesterday morning wtf .-.

So yesterday I went to the beach for a picnic and to catch up with some friends from uni~

I stayed under the beach umbrella almost the entire time between 12 and 4pm, but I still ended up with pretty clear tanlines ==
Should have just gone in a bikini and tanned properly. :/

Group photo at the Long Bay scenic photo frame ^-^

Selfie with the chocolates I've recently been addicted to making

So yeah, because my nails don't require maintenance that often (every two/three weeks?) I've been a little short on things to do. Because my new supplies haven't arrived from China yet, I can't start deco-ing so I've been making desserts!

More choccies~ so much fun making them! ^-^ (photo from my mom's wechat, very blurry sorry)

Meringue cups with wasabi vanilla icecream and dark chocolate.

Surprisingly the meringue dessert turned out better than I expected. Though, in saying that... perhaps wasabi icecream on soy waffles, or caramel pieces in wasabi icecream could work better? So many possible ways to use wasabi icecream!

As you can see I'm quite insistent on eating wasabi icecream right now. I have 3 more icecream flavours, and an iceblock flavour at home but I still went out to buy vanilla icecream for making wasabi vanilla icecream wtf.

Update

I will be picking up Tenshi-neechan on Saturday, so even if I don't post about Japan Day tomorrow (I am hoping I will!!), clothes from China and gifts from Japan will be arriving! I will have soooo much to review omg. Excited!!!

But yes, upcoming posts are Japan Day, Farmers A/W launch (when their promo vid comes out), Meta fukubukuro unboxing, haul review :)

So happy there's all this content prepared for the start of the uni semester! Hoping I can be consistent with the blogging for the entire year!

=^.^=

Upcoming Posts

I have so many photos for posts I need to edit!!

Because i took most of them at night, the lighting is gross af. Hence the lack of update for like, close to a week ;w;

These posts will be going up soon (probably on Confetti):

- D.I.A fukubukuro opening (EEEEEEEEP!!!!!!)

- Lantern Festival, and presents from Malaysia (kawaii goodies && inspo a-plenty ;w;)

- Lens reviews - my large brown, and grey lenses for the year. If I can ever be bothered, I will review my casual brown lenses too but I just feel so meh about lenses < 14.5mm ~.~

Alright, just felt obligated to fill the blog with a little update since I haven't been on in a while haha.

Even my instagram has been really quiet! FML. Dead phone = all good quality photos but the long process to get it on instagram is just a b****. INSTAGRAM PLEASE JUST LET PEOPLE UPLOAD ON THE BROWSER TOO!!! QAQ

=^.^=
