(Platform) Shoe hunt

Platform shoes... Shoes I have been wanting for a long time but couldn't find and get, and now I still CAN'T get 'em. Because buying from Taobao can be quite expensive for me >_<" (and I feel bad asking my father to order these for me. Damn I need a job) At these times I wished I lived in Hong Kong or somewhere in China. (Or maybe just somewhere in Asia where they have cute clothes for a good price) I'm super picky shoe-wise. I need to find "THE" perfect shoe, for a good price. Here's an example of cute platform shoes. They are from the Yayashoe Taobao shop. I'm actually not sure about the star print, but I think the blue ones are the cutest (which aren't shown on the picture >_<") 

I think platform shoes are awesome because they give you that extra height you need (I need,,, being only 5ft) without the painful experience of walking on killer heels or so. But they don't have them a lot over here (or I just didn't see them) The only time I saw like the ideal platform shoes was in the Monki in Hamburg. They were also in sale for only €10,-! But damn, for once in my life I wished my feet were even smaller than they are now (they're actually quite big for my length, and they're wide =-=" looks really ugly) because I couldn't fit in a size 37! (which I normally fit in perfectly) and there was no size 38 =-= only size 36 shoes were left (the bigger sizes were sold out already I guess..?)

These platforms are a bit less high than the other star printed ones. But these are a bit more casual, with an edgy bit due to the studs. I think I do like the star printed one more. Because it's more different you know, the one above looks more like your every day sneaker with a platform (and studs, the studs make it different) but yeah... I can only look at these pictures thinking I want those shoes until I find the perfect one here. Argh, wish I could order.

More platforms! The last pair is cute. 

Next to platform shoes I've also been on a hunt for boots. Yes, winter is around the corner and I've decided to not try and survive the winter with only All Stars+3 layers of socks+therm sole (which holds the heat). I have other boots now but, I don't know why I bought them (Damn, I hate the fact I didn't have a sense of style years ago). The top of the boot ends somewhere on my calf and I think it looks horrible. It's like it adds weight to my calfs (and me no likey because they're Huge already) Plus, they don't have any grip, so when I walk on slippery floors (or walk on snow) big chance I will fall down and hurt myself. So no... these are definitely not winter proof.

But the boots I have been thinking about are either really high (almost thigh high?) or just ankle boots. (actually not sure which of the two kinds I should buy..?) I don't want to buy Uggs, even though they may be nice and warm. But everyone's walking around in Uggs already and I don't think they would flatter my already huge, big, muscle legs.

The quest is hard, but hopefully I shall find my perfect boots this winter, otherwise I won't survive this cold >_<"

BTW, I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I know I've been saying this quite often, but these were the first two weeks of school and I'm already physically drained. I'm actually not sure if I should be blogging now or doing homework. Because actually I'm already studying for my final exams almost 3 years from now (actually less) and for some things I just have to study harder than I did. I just have to study more than previous years (that would be smarter,, gehe)

Monday till Wednesday are late days for me. I'm gone to school from 8.20 till after 17.00 =( and actually I still have to do homework afterwards, but usually I'm so physically drained I can't do anything at all and just want to be lazy. Monday's are ultra-late, because school lasts till 16.55! Then cycling for at least 30 min. and last week I came home at 17.40! Jeez, going to school till 16.55 must be a crime =-=" physically draining children.

Due to all these late school days I've been eating like a madman! It was also due to PMS but next to that there was a lot of stress... Already >_<" I need to eat healthier next week, otherwise I'll also gain weight like a madman.

Ah, I also think I caught a cold... Had a sore throat and my voice was all cracked up (if that's the way you should say it ;) gehe)

Long post, Shall stop now, maybe draft some other posts and then do some homework + exercising... Haven't run in so many weeks due to laziness and after laziness it became stress >_<" OK, time to stop otherwise this post is going to be waaaaaaaay too long...

xoxoxo

School starting again...

FML. School is starting again tomorrow =( Vacation was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too short... OK, I had to get my books from school last week already. But tomorrow we're officially starting school (though they were nice enough to skip the first 2 periods. So no school till after 9.55 then the terror begins)

Boo I had to carry 20 (or 23) books on my bicycle back home =( Heavy stuff... And I almost fell off my bicycle >_<"

FML!

Today we had to get our schedule. Turns out on Monday I have to stay at school till 17.00 O_o unless it's changed. Boo Boo Boo #$%@* school.

I'm going to end this short post. I don't feel like doing a lot (probably that time again, causing me to eat non-stop, putting on lots of weight... argh, tomorrow I have to control myself)

Tonight I'll relax (or not? Maybe I should workout >_<) I won't go to bed early xd lol, don't feel like going early. I need to stop rambling like this...

Scandinavia Haul

Long time no blog! I've been away on a 4 week holiday to Scandinavia! Before I've already been MIA due to tests and laziness. I'll try to pick up the blogging again but I can't guarantee anything >_<"

My resolution was to not buy anything in Scandinavia (also because it would be expensive) BUT I couldn't resist sale items and the jacket I bought was necessary so... scold me afterwards.

Our first stop was in Germany: Bremen. There was a Primark in Bremen but daddy didn't want to go because it was so far away =(

There was a Tally Weijl in Bremen and there was sale so we took a look around. And I found these 3 t-shirts for a bargain. Seriously it was super cheap.

This strawberry t-shirt was super cheap! Only €3,- At first I didn't want to buy anymore t-shirts because I already have a lot  (well, at least I call it a lot) But my sister practically convinced me to get it, and it was only €3,- anyway so why not? 

This was the 2nd t-shirt I picked out. €3,- or €5,- either way, a bargain. The bunny is so cute, and I can actually wear this as a t-shirt dress since it's this long on me. 

On top of the already reduced items. There was also a buy 3 get 1 for free (the cheapest will be free) And since I already had 3 t-shirts, why not buy a 3rd one, which will be FREE (Yay I love free stuff!) This was either €3,- or €5,- (I remember 2 t-shirts were €3,- and one was €5,- but I don't remember which, only sure that the strawberry one is €3,-) The mouse is cute right?

Then we walked to the H&M because we saw there was sale over there as well ^^. And then I bought this cropped t-shirt.

I saw this t-shirt in another H&M in Holland but it was still for normal price, and I thought it was a bit too pricey for what you get, and it wasn't like I really, really wanted this cropped t-shirt. But now it was only €5,- which was: bargain, score! 

Figured I had bought enough that day and tried to stop myself from buying more stuff. In the evening we ate delicious Thai food at Pochana. It was delicious. absolutely lovely! We ordered the Masaman curry (since we didn't know what it was) Green curry and Yellow curry. All three were delish! Nom nom. The wait was kinda long but it was worth it. And the toilets were super clean! They had a self-changing toilet seat cover O_O like super clean! Felt super bloated afterwards, but happy that I'd eaten some real good Thai food.

The next day we went to Lübeck and I didn't buy anything! *proud* And after Lübeck we stopped in Copenhagen, and since it was Sunday there were almost no shops open =( Bummer. But I must say Copenhagen is a nice city ^^

Next stop was Stockholm. Stockholm has a lot of shops. But! I had to restrain myself to not buy too much. Though I did end up buying a pair of checked shorts. 

These were 150 SEK (which is around €13) I like checked shorts and the colour combi is nice. The fabric is quite thick (though not as thick and "stiff" as real denim fabric, but thicker than you would expect) It fits me almost perfect (Yay, even though my waist is quite tiny) and it's just so comfy and cute. This was from a store called BikBok (nice store, didn't know it until then)

The first day in Stockholm was beautiful weather, the next day: Rain =(

After we Stockholm we drove to Norway. I managed to not buy stuff until Ålesund (correct spelling?) where I bought a pink baseball jacket.

I've been wanting a baseball jacket, but a lot of people already wear a red one (you know all those standard colours) but I haven't seen anyone (in my region) with a pink one yet, so I thought: Score! It was a pity it didn't have a fleece lining but I still like it anyway. I was kinda hesitant about buying it at first because I felt bad spending more money (I already spent so much =() but I still ended up buying it >_<" bad me. This was 150 NOK (not too bad I guess?)

We also went to the Dale factory near Bergen. I saw a nice hoodie for 930 NOK which was waterproof. BUT I didn't buy it in the end because it was a bit too pricey for me (Norwegian sweaters are expensive =() and I was afraid I wouldn't wear it often...

Anyway I bought some high-waisted shorts in I think Andalsnes? At the BikBok (such a nice shop with good sale!)

Only 100 NOK! Me likey, but now I have to stop buying shorts xd lol I have like 9 pairs or so.

Because we couldn't go to Oslo we stopped at Hamburg (Germany) before going home =(. I had never been to Hamburg but the shops are quite good I must say!

I needed a new jacket for spring/autumn so I bought this in the sale. My dad practically dragged me to the part they sold jackets because there was like a big sale. This jacket was reduced from €120 to €28.79! He was like, buy it it looks so good on you it fits you and it's cheap! (Lol, dad is a cheapass Asian) but I do like the jacket, it's not too long and it has pockets, and it's the kinda jacket I wanted to have ^^

I also bought this pair of jeans. They are from the Miss Sixty. And honestly I didn't need anymore jeans but for some reason my dad and sis keep pushing me into buying more and saying afterwards: "If you have so much WHY ARE YOU BUYING?!" Tche it's all their fault  (lol at smiley) But I like the colour of the jeans and the little detail in the knee area. I was surprised it fits me because usually my big thighs are a huge problem (that's why I need to slim down those bad ass thighs) =-= but luckily this is stretch so it does fit ^^. The jeans were reduced to €40.

I also bought a pair of earrings (stars) but I didn't take a good picture >_<" so no picture. They were only €2 so I thought... Why not?

Ending my haul now. I'm sorry for the long post with lotsa pictures (notice how I got lazy near the end) and sorry if the pictures look kinda boring >_<" After all the editing I don't feel like putting on any special effects (even more time consuming)

I will try not to procrastinate as much as I did (probably is due to the fact that editing costs a lot of time, even though I do it in a noobish way).. BTW I even took pictures of the stuff I bought in Paris but that was like LONG ago,,, doesn't make a lot of sense to blog about it now right?

Well, all's well ends well...

xoxox

On Hiatus again...

I'm sorry, that I haven't been blogging in weeks again >_< I'm SO BAD. Making it even worse I'm also having my real, official vacation now so I won't be able to blog either... For another 4 WEEKS O_o Say whut! Yeah, I'm telling the truth. I'm sorry that I'm such a bad blogger, it's just that I've been so lazy these days (even lazier than before... probably because school's over and I'm school-free for 6 weeks =D OH YEAH) =-=

I promise when I get back I will try to blog every day (OK, maybe I'm making promises I can never keep =(). But when I get back I also have to go job hunting, I NEED MONEY (I feel spoiled using dad's money, so I should start re-paying "debts")

I also have to practice music again, more often, hardcore way (1 hr minimum. =)) and I also have lotsa ideas to blog about,,, not to forget I also need to try and lose weight again (probably going to gain all the weight I lost over the past months/weeks (even though it has been going up and down) =-= awh,,, so scared to weigh myself when I get back (even though weight doesn't matter "that" much, as long as you look good, but I don't look good and my weight sucks so...) Yeah... I'll do a Good update when I get back and have more time to blog away >_<

xx

Bonus picture: Ugly webcam pic Arrr,,, not photogenic at all *sigh*

Have a nice vacation everyone! Stay well =)

Crochet projects

Since it's almost summer vacation I can do anything I want =) Get crafty crafty. I'll show a list of things I want to make.

Totoro
When I saw this on YouTube I immediately knew I wanted to make this. For reference I'll just post pictures, but remember: I didn't make these cute Totoro's ^^ They're from the same person as the one who posted the pattern (I'll put the link below)

The link to the pattern: http://heavens-hellcat.livejournal.com/420.html

Copyright goes to heavens-hellcat.

And for the grey Totoro I've also got a YouTube video of someone who made all 3 of them (Gray, Blue and White) but she used the pattern for the blue one and then modified it. I also read that one person just took a bigger hook and heavier yarn, and then followed the pattern instructions and the Totoro turned out bigger as well. But since I only have 1 size hook (if I get serious I may invest in more, but for now...) and 1 ball of yarn... So I'm just experimenting a bit...

Here's the video of someone showing her self-made Totoro (I can't paste the video for some reason, so here's the link >_<) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmfNlpHmq-o&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Awh, Totoro is so cute >3< 

Domo-kun

When I was searching the Internet I also found this pattern of Domo-kun He's awesome. I only need to buy some brown yarn and I'm ready to go. And I need to figure something out about the eyes >_< Pictures are also on the site. I'll post my own pictures as soon as I finish them (if I finish them over the summer >_<)

Argh I have to study =-= I have a test week and there are some subjects I really want to get good marks for, otherwise I feel like I'm doomed next year =-= so... Wish me luck. Hope I have a good karma, and I hope I'll blog soon... And Sorry I've skipped another 5 days of blogging >_< I'm super bad blogger I know. That's why I only have such few followers, though I am proud I at least have some xd.... Anyway

Byebye,,

Dr. Organic Vitamin E Scar & Stretch mark serum

I bought this Serum quite a while ago, because I figured I needed a serum for that extra hydration etc. Why not use extra cream against scarring with it since I get lotsa scars due to annoying pimples (but it has improved really well lately, but I don't know why.)

If you didn't know yet, Dr. Organic is Paraben free, SLS free and it doesn't contain artificial colours, fragrances or harsh preservatives. And Dr. Organic doesn't test on animals.

What does it promise? Well, this serum claims to be:

• Hydrating
• Restoring
• Regenerating
• Protecting

And it's naturally moisturising. Here's what it says on the back of the box:

In combination with a complex proprietary blend of bioactive, natural and organic ingredients including Demochlerra DP (tested for use on scars and stretch marks), this podent restoring and hydrating cream absorbs into the effected epidermal subcutaneous cell matrix to instantly nourish and regenerate, restoring the skins natural moisture levels to give scars and stretch marks a smoother more tonned and radiant appearance.


This serum contains the bioactive, natural and organic ingredients: Vitamin E, Aloe Vera Juice, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Lotus Flower Extract, Chlorella Extract, Beeswax, Lemon Peel Oil (lemon smell? :)) Amino Acid Complex, Lemon Grass Oil, Elemi Oil, Liquorice Extract and Green Tea (Onomnom)

I don't know all the effects of all these ingredients. I only know Vitamin E helps restoring skin tissue (or something in that direction) Aloe Vera is cooling (but it doesn't necessarily cool my skin) and Shea Butter can moisturise your skin (correct me if I'm wrong >_<)

Awesome picture taking skills =-=

My opinion:
The texture is not like any other serums, usually a serum is liquid (almost liquid) and this is more like a cream.

I think this serum works really well: it leaves my skin soft and hydrated. I also noticed my scars started fading after a while, so it does fade the scars =) I LOVE the smell, it smells like lemons, nice and fresh =)

I always use this serum in combination with my other Dr. Organic cream. I think this one smells nicer but I guess that's personal opinion (I like lemon smell ^^)

You really don't need a lot of cream. I usually use about a pea size, bit more. Your skin absorbs the cream quite fast, which is absolutely a pro.

The serum definitely lightens scars, I've been using it for quite a while and I paid extra attention to some scars on my face, and I noticed they're gone!

I'm very positive about this serum in a sense of it being a cream, but I don't know if other (more liquid and intense) serum will be better.

Something for you if:

• You are looking for an all organic serum
• You have sensitive skin and you can't use other serums (which I doubt)
• You like serums smelling of lemon
• Lighten your scars.

Skip it if:

• You think £8.19 is too expensive for a 50 ml tube of serum
• You want a FAST lightening cream. This lightening process is not very fast so...

Not many negative points... I must say I've never tried any other scar lightening creams/oils. And I don't know if Bio-Oil works better for scars so maybe you should do some more research on that. I'd say, if you want to have it more expensive just go for Bio-Oil and if not, go for something from Dr. Organic! Or just anything with Vitamin E oil. (or just pure vitamin E oil =))

 I hope this review was somewhere useful... I'm a sucker I know >_< Sorry! I forgot the price but I searched it on Google and found that it was £8.19 pounds on Holland and Barrett (also it has a buy one get one for half the price) so... This is your chance if you want to try. 

Yes I'm rambling about everything... sorry...  Now it's study time again... So proud of myself blogging 4 days straight xd yes it's very hard for me,,,
