GGA's..thank you!

Hi guys! Just a short post to mention the GGA's!

I got a message from Lhouraii saying that I had been nominated for Best Hair Style in the upcoming "Gaijin Gyaru Awards" or "GGA's".


There's the video, so you can check out all the other nominees and see where to vote! To be honest, i'm rather surprised, as I tend to keep myself out of the Gal communities now (not saying that i'm quitting Gal, I just don't like to post in them anymore) so i'm surprised that people would think of me!

You're all really sweet, thank you! Vote for me if you wish! And good luck to everyone who's in the runnings!

sweet time

Hi guys! How are you all?

I'm so tired right now, but I decided to blog as I wanted to write stuff! There will probably be spelling errors and what not here and there due to that, so i'm sorry if there are! (A few usually crop up on here anyway lol)

I've been really excited the last couple of days. One BIG factor is seeing X Japan in June; my tickets are now officially confirmed!; which i'm like, jumping up and down to! Ever since first getting into their music, it's been a dream of mine to see them live, and I would happily travel to do so! I was going to go to France to see them play and didn't unfortunately, but since announcing this London date (which is something I never thought they would do) i've finally realised that my dream is coming true! I could seriously gush about them for ages, but i'm not going to...much ;D

Another thing making me excited and happy at the moment is the weather! It's been DAMN HOT over here, and it was 26oC (I don't know this in Farenheit i'm afraid!) the other day! The good weather is going to continue into the weekend and I *think* the beginning of next week, which is fab, as i'm off today (Friday) and Saturday 8D. This weekend, work is having two dress-up days, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Saturday's theme is "VS" or "pokemon-ninja-battle" as some people have now coined it. Sunday's theme is "Easter", which is very appropriate~ I'm working on Sunday, so i'll be going as a Bunny! A, ahem, classy Bunny...lol!

Personalised chocolate that Adam's Mom got for us!

yum....
Adam's sister stayed at his flat last weekend, and she's the first of his siblings that I get to meet! She's really sweet, and her friend Jess is so funny! They like watching "The Only Way Is Essex", but it's way too staged and obviously fake so I couldn't watch it! Adam's Mom sent down some chocolate for us which was so nice of her! It was very tasty 8D!

On Tuesday, me and Adam had the day off together, and the weather was GORGEOUS so we headed out on a mini picnic and day out in Central London. We went to Camden (we always end up going to or near work on our days off lol) to pick up some food and then we walked to Regents Park from there. Even though it's the Easter School Holidays right now, the park was actually pretty quiet, despite the fact that there were lots of people about, which was nice! No screaming children or dogs being crazy...lovely :D

feeeeeeeeeet!




Adam has pretty eyes 8D

'8D
The park has some really nice scenery in it, and the gardeners were actually out tending to the plants and shrubs and things. Here are some photos for you pretty picture lovers!







I'm pretty proud of the snaps I took with my camera to be honest! It works really well in natural light, so I guess the fact that it was a nice sunny day really helped :p When I take a photo and it's HQ, the display on the camera makes some aspects of the photo look glittery! It's awesome!

We went on the peddleboats in the park, which was fun, even if a little overpriced; £5.50 per adult for 30 mins, £7.50 per adult for 1hr, and a £5 deposit per boat on top of that! You get it back, but only if you follow "the rules" and bring the boat back on time lol..How many people are going to run away or "get lost" with a HUGE blue peddleboat in Regents Park without anyone wondering what they're doing lol?






No make-up! It was way too hot to be thinking about slapping on a full face of, well, slap! There were a couple of little islands with so many birds on them! It was cool! Adam decided it would be "fun" to go under one of the trees (actually the big green one in the above photo) with the boat, but it wasn't so fun when all the bugs from the tree fell into the boat! T_T Boys.... lol!


It was hot enough! Fruit Pastille lollies are sooo good...it's been ages since I had them!

A short video of the boat adventure....what'w up with my voice? lol!

Tuesday was such an awesome day, I really enjoyed being able to be out and about in the sun with my man! 8D! For the rest of the week i've been working~ Wednesday was an awesome day on Ladieswear as we tripled our target! I was immensly happy! And Thursday (it's now Friday technically lol) was good, as I got casted for another Music Video! I really hope I get it... They casted some other staff members too, so it would be cool if a few of us got it! 8D! Of course i'll update you on this front when more information comes to light!

Here are a few photos and some songs to end the post! I've been listening to DOUBLE non stop for the past two months!

How weird do I look without 'brows? haha

My new toothpaste! The box was so glittery! and the tube...not :z Yeah, i'm cheap!

collection.

This entry is picspammed to the brim!


Hello! Hello! Hello!
I'm FINALLY back at my laptop and able to bring you all the stuff that I haven't been writing about! I'm going to try and revamp my blog at some point, maybe today, as I think it's time for a new layout! The blog header will stay the same for a little while until I get back the photos from the shoot that I did with Georgie on Friday!
So what have I been up to?

I've mainly been working, which is great for my purse, and i've also been out and about in the "great" outdoors! Adam is trying to get me to be more proactive, which is a good idea really. I don't really exercise at all, and I eat lots of sweets and junk food, which is really unhealthy! Now that the weather is starting to become sunny and slightly warmer, i'm trying to seize the opportunity to be healthy and active.

My active start began when I wrote about us going for a walk to Hampstead Heath, and it continued last Sunday, the day after we went to RAW. Here are a few photos from the event!




oh loller, my tired, tired face haha
Ohhh, I was so tired that night... So not quite the best photos in the world, but whatever. I didn't get a proper photo of my outfit unfortunately! I think Rosie may have one, so I need to find out! Here is a quick shot of me and Adam just before, with a slight peek at what I wore!


The next day, me and Adam, and Andy and his boyfriend David (Andy is Adam's flatmate) went to Hampstead Heath (we actually went there this time haha) with a couple of drinks and some sweets and just chilled out! We walked up and down a bit and then we sat down on the heath and the boys did some poi. I'm really shit at poi, but I can do this thing called the Butterfly! Haha, i'm so lame.

(almost) perfect egg! Breakfast before Hampstead Heath~

The toilets at HH..so quaint!

The next day, I met up with Dec to bleach his hair! We also went for a bit of a meander around our usual spot of Piccadilly Circus/Leicester Square.

no makeup apart from eyebrows and mascara :p
I'm still wanting to dye my hair purple, so we went to Sallys to see what they had on offer, and to my excitement, I managed to find a colour, well, two colours that i'll mix to make (what appears to be) the perfect colour combination! Check it out:
Yeah..probably shouldn't have "tested" the dyes on my skin, but it washed away instantly which was good. This is Crazy Color dye, which even though I might have blasted before when my hair was first pink, it seems to have worked quite well on my friends and everyone keeps telling me to not use Manic Panic dyes anymore, so i'll give it another shot! Anyway, I bleached Dec's hair all out and now he's a blondie (well, white hair lol) again!


photo (c)Dec!


The weather this week was pretty good, and me and Adam really wanted to go out and do something (especially as the weather was great on his days off) but unfortunately I still had to go to work :( I had a few late starts last week (2pm and 3pm) so we weren't really able to do much before I had to go! I have to set aside a couple hours to get my hair and make-up done lol... Luckily we have a day off together next week, so we're praying that the weather will be great!

Tuesday AM!
The rest of the week was pretty much just work and not too much play lol! But I did have a photoshoot with Georgie on Friday (as mentioned right at the beginning!) which was sooo awesome! We wanted to do a Gal X Lolita style shoot, but in the end, we didn't actually get any shots together! Either way, both of our photos turned out so beautifully! I was annoyed though, as I wanted to be tanned and classy for the pictures but my fake tan reacted against my skin so I was pale :( My skin was really pretty against the background in the studio and the photographer kept saying it looked great (I look like milk haha) but I still wanted to have bronzed skin! :'( Nevermind...

Eating on the train to the shoot! Pret's Chicken and Pesto bloomer is AMAZING
Georgie being photographed!
The next day, we all went out to Chessington World of Adventures! It was different as this time we didn't have lots of people with us like we did last year when the Gal Circle went! I'll share my photos from this in another entry as this one is pretty much spammed up! Here are some photos to see the end of this entry, and i'll see you guys soon!



My new mirror, free with egg May!

I love mail!

My new arrivals! Yaaaaay, sexy Spike ;D

New phone memory card...

I'm very disappointed now! lol...
And as a small "surprise" for you, I took some photos of the current egg issue, featuring the models as Manba!





These are also on the Manba page on Facebook, and hopefully there will be scans soon, so please hold tight!
