One of my favorite songs, "Kimi Ga Ireba" By Crystal Kay. <3

When I hear it, I forever think of my husband.

So in these lovely other news, I have managed to get out of my house a lot more than I normally do, hang out with my friends instead of sitting around moping and I feel actually very happy to announce that I found my perfect dress. I fell in LOVE with the dress as soon as I put it on!

Well, Here goes my picture spam for the day.

Too Much Going On!!

2012-02-27T07:03:00.002-08:00

Hello there everyone!

I am sorry that I take forever to post something. I guess it's cause I constantly find myself at wits end and not sure what to do other than to be stuck in one position of life. But lately I've been very into these rebellions going around with each of my friends. I noticed that one thing which is very annoying is the fact that the old generation Gyaru sit around knocking heads with the Newbies. I don't like it because it's just irritating. I understand being proud of old Gyaru style but the New gyaru style is barely able to be considered as "Gyaru" anymore, isn't it? I notice if I see a light skinned girl put on nothing but foundation, circle lens and lashes...She's "Gyaru" but if there are some darker girls trying to incorporate said style, They get ridiculed. That being said.

I'M DONE WITH THE BULLSH*T.

When I first joined into the Gyaru world I didn't do it just because I am blasian. I did it because I fell in LOVE With the rebellious make up. The white concealer all over the face, dark tans, bleach blonde hair. It was to me, purely amazing. Then, I seemed to notice how quickly everyone was diving into this new style. I honestly can't consider what is done now-a-days as Gyaru. Wearing BARELY any make up then throwing on a couple face accessories is UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS of your ethnicity. Why do Gyaru if you'll half-ass it? Isn't Gyaru FULL of sub-styles also? That is probably the one thing that peeves me off the most, Is that gyaru is made with SO many subcultures of it yet we have a million either copying one another, or trying to stifle each other's creativity. I believe that not JUST an Asian is capable of being Gyaru, but ANYONE can achieve the style with proper make up, proper contouring, and proper accessories. I am not a perfect gyaru, merely a beginner in my own strides. But I don't agree to the BS running all over the place. I've been thinking for so long, that if I had lighter skin, if my eyes were wider and other things, I'd be such a beautiful gyaru yet. That is a completely untrue way to think. As myself, as I am right now. I can't be any more beautiful and have such an amazing individuality. I LOVE having a natural dark yellow complexion, I love having wavy/curly hair that I can actually straighten when I don't want to have the little curls everywhere. I LOVE being short. These things, why wish to change them about myself when I can be my own person and use it to my advantage? The same goes for anyone reading this. Gyaru... To me, Gyaru is an expression. A fashion expression that you take, you form into your own. And you fiercely work it~ There shouldn't be a straight-set rule that every gyaru HAS to be a certain skin tone, or look a certain way. No. Especially as Gaijin Gyaru!! We are to be trend-setting the hell out of this look with our fuax fur tails and shorts. And overalls with cute ruffled socks. WE Are the ones here who need to take this responsibility, wear things that suit our style. Not try to follow something that ends up making us look like either a complete whore, or just...a train wreck.

AND NOW I'M REALLY DONE TALKING ABOUT IT!!

In other news, I regrettably have to mention how BADLY I've been craving to buy some overalls, not even the long, lanky ones. But. The cute thigh-knee length overalls with a cute little long-sleeve shirt or something to wear under it. I guess because the spring time is slowly creeping up on me and I don't wanna miss a thing! Ahahaha, I want to be very adorable looking during the summer. I plan to actually work 2 jobs if I can balance it through my schedule, I need to save money since I'll be moving pretty soon. And also, my Birthday was on Valentines' day. So I am finally 17-18 years old. It feels GOOOD to be old enough to get a job at a clothing store instead of working at shitty food places every waking moment. I come to realize, "Get your OWN F*cking sandwich, go to Walmart, go get some damn bread, and gtfo of my face." Just from working about 3-4 years at the same place. I honestly did not ever think the food industry would make me so bitter. But also, I forgot to mention the LOVELY trip I took to Washington, Tacoma to visit my husband. Of course I missed a good couple of days of Classes. But Eh. Who cares? Ahaha, I don't seem to care much for my classes anymore. I'm working very hard to pass them though.

Well, Here's some pictures from my trip.

This is of me right before I left for the trip. I decided to dye my hair a dark brown since it looked somewhat unhealthy with the light brown. But I plan to go back sometime soon.

February 14th (My Birthday)

Hanging out with my mixed friend Ashley in our theatre bathroom, BOSS-Like!

I tried a new bit of color instead of my normal light/neutral eyeshadows

Another picture from my birthday.

This was February 17th, nomming on Denny's food with my husband. <3

....I hate this picture for some reason.

A rainy day in Tacoma while waiting for the buses

I don't know when I took this, when we were at the apartment.

>>; Well.

My newer Gyaru Make

I really loved this picture most because I'd just come from outside, and it'd been raining pretty hard yet my make up did not get affected at all!

I edited this picture with slight smooth + Blur tool and changed the saturation a little. But, I really loved how this picture came out. It really lets me see the beginner's contouring I've started to learn. Ahahaha.

Well, That's all until next time~

Winter Showcase & Other News

2012-02-01T05:56:00.000-08:00

So, During the first 2 weeks of January was the Academy Showcase. I sadly did not participate but I was a technician for one of my friends as well as working the Lights. I did not really feel like participating in this was my destiny to do so. But for my next year I will participate and do something tremendous. I am very happy with myself for working with such an amazing group of friends.

Anyway, The other news is, I finally started to wear a bit more of my Gyaru make around places instead of being bare faced all the time. My husband finally came back from fields and is still in WA talking to me on the cell phone and all that good stuff. I do sincerely hate distance though. I really wished that I could be with him right now but after he deploys in March, I know I'll see him in December again. I love him so much!

I hate that he is gone!!

Anywho, here are some current pictures.

I dyed my hair but I'm thinking of going back to a brunette/ copper coller.

The Mango Jelly of Palty is my ideal color.

Wedding Bells : Newly Wed?!

2012-01-21T18:49:00.001-08:00

So, I get a lot of people asking about if my life lo has changed any because I am married. Not at all! I still love singing and dancing, I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends. But, it is depressing that my husband is going to be deployed to Afganistan. I pray that he will be safe and sound over there. Lately, I have been too distraught to write anything. But hopefully I'll put other pictures soon.

ギャル　けい & Wedding News!

2011-12-15T14:36:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone!!

Sorry I am always lagging behind in posts and junk!
So, here's more pic-spam. ;P
Only 10 more days until I am married!
Oh that's right! I didn't inform you all, but I'm going to finally be wed to my military baby. <3
I hate that he's getting deployed March 3rd, but at least he'll be back faster than I will know!
Onwards with the pictures!

A visit to my grandparents' place

They had cherry cheesecake >>; Ewww.

My make for the next day was kinda simple, very toned down.

Without my hoodie part on. T_T

Hanging out with my 2 close friends~

I dyed my hair a more toned up brown, I love the way it looks!

My hair, regularly styled this way

LOVE Those boots of mines. ^^ Fur is adorable during winter times.

This was my professional headshot.

Another day of my make, with curly hair~

Trying on clothes with my fwiend, Ellie.

I love the extensions. ^^

Ech, I made a retarded looking face and hid it with the camera.

Best picture of the day.

I chose a red sweater dress!

Very goregous <3

Well, As you guys can see, I had an eventful couple of days~ I really do not do much other than study for my terms tests coming, anticipate winter break happening on Tuesday, And hang out with my friends! I totally love bonding and getting to know people more. It just, kinda makes for a great life experience. Wow, only 8 more days. For everyone who is new, I have been engaged since May of 2010. I am going to be married on the 23rd of December which is only a week or so away! SO Excited! I even will post this picture of my wedding dress!

I think the reason I chose this is because I am only 4'11, So it really accommodates to my height, and doesn't make me appear overly short. I won't be wearing those boots though. >>; I just wore those to try the dress on, I swear. But yeah, I also love that it's strapless, less strain on my body! This will be an exciting week indeed. So, I get out of school on the 20th, and on the 21st I drive to Charlotte, NC To visit my grandparents and pick my soon-to-be husband from the airport! Life is good.

EAT FRESH >:D Thought I'd let you guys see an old photo of me at my job~

Anyway, that's all for now chick-a-dees~

わたし　の　かみのけ　は　みじかん！
Yo everyone!
It's Yumi~ And yes, if you read hiragana, you know, my hair has now been cut.
T__T I cut my hair. I'm really happy about it, but at the same time I really miss my old hairstyle.
I miss it a lot because it symbolized me to have had it long.
But the asian mullet is a nice change of pace, in my own opinion~
Anyway. Enough talk, I'll get straight to the pictures!

Back in 2009, this was my hairstyle. Mind my fiance, lol he got a haircut. <3

In 2010 this was the hairstyle, when I hung with a certain crew of kids. >>;

My natural hair,

This is my current haircut now, layers, with long length to the bottom. >>; Although, I got the bottom cut pretty short too. I guess, I was tired of long hair so, when I want the feeling, I have extensions to put on ^^.

Another shot, my bangs have stayed blonde/brown from all the coloring done to it, so I decided to leave it that way for now.

わたし　の　はふ　ともだち、　ろろ　＜３

(My half-asian friend Lolo.. LOL Good times with her. )

This is one of my favorite pictures, it captures our odd moments, we always make opposite faces!

The Muppets came out, And I wanted a picture with Mrs. Piggy.

>>; Sorry, Still cleaning my messy room, but the extensions I own are about 27-30" so they are pretty long, I usually wear it only for back part of my hair.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alright! So you've seen my extensions, what do you think about my hair now? I am in love with it, and possibly getting it colored soon. I want it similar to PALTY's Juicy Peach color or Liese's Sweet Pink! I kinda wish I'd have let my hair grow out, I could have worn it like my idol KRYSTAL KAY. <3 She is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Anyway, That's all for now lovelies. Thanks for checking in with me!

I recently made a friend who is also blasian through a community and we didn't know we lived so close by so he might be coming down and when he does, I'm just rounding up the gang of Wasians/Eurasians and we're gonna smash the mall! Crowd it up, We know what we'll be eating. RICE!

Learning has been a lot of fun. I'm still learning bit by bit, <<; Stupid papa not teaching me and making me get lessons.
Anywho~! Hey everybody! So I haven't posted in a long while and the reason has been because I'm very busy working on my school things and trying to ensure that I have good backstage parts in plays like being a make up artist or something. ^^
Here's some photos of what I did last week~!

My good friend Nisha. ^^

Me trying out my new grey lens. <3 So comfortable

When you say take a serious photo...And end up making a retard face. XD

LOL Look at those priceless faces?

Only in theatre~

So yeah! Hopefully I'll have more photos this week since I'm gonna start a 'scrapbook' with Nisha and a couple of other friends~

Till next time, :3

へんしん。

2011-09-23T11:00:00.000-07:00

Q: What people do you look up to the most?

A: Well. I actually look up to regular people I know who are not super stars all over Hollywood.

One of the many people I do really look up to is AtJap13- Atism.

A lot of people say. "Wtf? Why look up to a creep?"

Well. Duh. Because he has the best mindset I've ever seen. He doesn't give a poo what anyone has to say about him or his likes/dislikes. And to me that's what really defines people.

Also. I look up to my GAL sister Chaudie/Chaudalyn because she has been one of the biggest supporters since I started my transition. She has never steered me wrong, she's always been by my side to help me and give me amazing advice. And she included me in many decisions so I feel very honored to have her as my elder Guide. I didn't imagine a year ago that my life would have tilted into something like this.
My Gal Transformation (One Year )
I never thought I'd be walking around my town in Gyaru make up and cute 3D deco nails, with teased or really curled hair and stylish clothes.

One year ago I was this...

Very plain, Not much style to my hair, hardly any make up. I was a real plain Jane for a long time. Then after a while I slowly stopped being afraid of the critism I'd get from people about my looks and I dived into GAL pretty hard!

My First time doing the make was very subtle because I wanted to mix the lovely style of a Banba and a hime just about so when I first started my make up was VERY light but I kept the nose stripe. ^^

I then took this subtle type of style for about a half a year after trying my first attempt. Here was still very bland too, I did not contour as much as I should have but I did go for occasional tans, and wear darker foundation on my face. The white concealer is still a popular part of my look.

Then there even came this time that I made a very tiny transition to stopping the white all together and making my look very toned down for school. But it didn'twork for me, to look so plain! I hated it! D:

This was one of my best looks a lot of my friends say. Because they like the different ways I'd do my hair with curls, the way I found a small way to incorporate the white into the corners of my eyes for more of a brightening effect instead of a super large eye. I wore lighter foundation around my skin range and even blush then.

Some days I wasn't sure what to do with my hair to be honest so I'd wear the teased out bun with my favorite ribbon. -.-;

This is usually one of my well known looks. I always am seen like this, On a good day when I don't rush to get to school. Or after school. :3

This is my finalized look that I bounce between from the well known look.

Sometimes I not only do the nose stripe but I love the shimmery white around my eyes.^^ It really brings attention to my face~

Most of the days lately I've worn this style, with my regular hair instead of my extensions, and a cute little bow at the top. In this picture you can kind of see the orangish color I'm wearing with the concealer. It's a glittery Tokidoki eyeshadow. ^^

Anyway. This is it for now. :3 Thanks for reading!

D: I have been super tired though and school work is going horrendous.

But I stay up and talk to Chaudie and Tomo a lot. <3 These are about my 2 most favored Gal Sisters to go to because they have done so much and made such a big impact to me.

Try Try Try -がんばって！！

2011-09-14T14:41:00.000-07:00

A lot of people feel like they should give up on themselves.

I have a couple of friends who are mixed asians with black and they apparently feel depressed constantly about themselves. I know. I honestly know it's not easy.

But maybe this can cheer you guys up?

Don't give up your dreams, don't let YOU limit yourself just because of ethnicity, and if people cannot accept you then tell them kiss your ass and hit the road jack.

You are already cool to me and probably an assload of people that you don't seem to see.

HAVE FUN!

Don't disregard your dreams because of a little bit of bullying!

Do your best~

I Love You Like A Love Song Baby

2011-09-11T10:42:00.001-07:00

Today is already seeming to slip right by, going through my fingers and slightly irritating me. I would rather spend my day sitting at home playing AIKA and talking to my sweet Kenny then be hanging out with my eldest brother, cause come on. This isn't ever the highlight of my depressing ass day. Hanging out with my brother is like being in a nursing home,depressing and soul destroying. I do nothing but watch the blank ceiling sometimes and blink so i can poof back home. Rofl why the hell would you make me leave my house JUST so i can watch you watch a freaking football game? WTF is wrong with you? Ughhh. I just want to spend the rest of today with my Kenny on the phone or Skype. Not this...

2011-09-06T22:13:00.000-07:00

I do have a friend that I creep creep on.

:3 At is his name I believe.

The Euroasian.

Now may I just say being a blasian is fine and well but being a Eurasian sounds pretty exotic too!!!

Anywho.

I happen to be one of these 'kittenz' who like to stay 'kitteny' and follow up on what he says.

He's a very sweet person, and pretty wild.

I admire him a lot for just being outstanding and not giving a buttcheek what anyone thinks of what he has to say.

He already just got my respect for that!!

Now, This guy is just amazing as hell.

I remember first seeing his YT video and I was like "O_O who dat?"

And just watching more.

He's so interesting! With great topics, And lemme just say..I'd steal that hair if I could.

xD I'd look like Carrot Top with a tan. <<;

Anyway~!

I'm just dying my hair, there will be pictures later on I believe.

See you all soon lovelies.

ALSO, I'm still working on my new signature, So hopefully it'll be amazing when I finish.

私輪秘密　－WINNING!!

2011-09-02T22:05:00.000-07:00

LOL!
Hello everyone.
:3 Today was lotta fun for this gal right here.
SO it was officially my first Friday at the Academy. And lemme just start off saying it was epic. The schedule was a bit strange though. 1,2,5,6,3,4,7,8 was the class set-up. I suppose morning classes, then lunch, then afternoon. But it was amazing! <3 I was never feeling better. We played 'Never Have I Ever' in Theatre today along with an AMAZING game where we had to partner up. You had to sit inbetween someone's legs and when you were called, you have to find a way to get to the other person who called you, the objective is basically WINNING. And I did lose the first time but I got the strength to break out of the tall person's hold and roll myself across the floor. Everyone says 'Yumi had a 007 moment.' I just. It was so unforgettably amazing. I only wish I could have taken a picture for the day.

＼（＾＾）／

I did take pictures though. :3

From 9/1/2011 My hair/Outfit Which was super plain!

These were from today. And I really loved the hairstyle. <3 My mom said

I resembled my grandmother from back in the old days.

Lol I felt insulted in a strange way.

Anywho, That's all for now everyone ! ! !

Gyaru Week!! (Pic Spam)

2011-08-31T18:20:00.000-07:00

Panda! My 7 week old kitten.

So this week so far was pretty awesome! The pictures will go in order from about Sunday to Today. :3 I looked pretty good with bottom lashes, Although it was uncomfortable to put them on at first.

I got to talk to my baby on the phone tonight, GOD! I miss him so much, He has no idea how much I miss him, That I write our names together 24/7, and stare at pictures of us all day!

He's something I enjoy to brag about, a very good thing in my life. One of the very few things I appreciate in my life. He makes me really feel worth it.

Anyway, Onwards with pictures!

Thanks for reading. :3

Take care everyone.

I have another post coming up really soon~

Waiting... Waiting...

2011-08-23T19:14:00.001-07:00

Hey there everyone~!

Seems like I fell into my old pattern, BUT! I have been meaning to take pictures and all that stuff, I have just been neglecting it since my Camera is not here.

I should have it tomorrow.

So the next post will be VERY pic-heavy most likely.

Along with a couple of videos of what Ken and I did.

I am sorry for not updating sooner.

So, I will make sure to post more tomorrow!

Updates : Charlotte-Douglas Airport

2011-08-12T07:29:00.000-07:00

So right now, I'm sitting in the airport of Charlotte-Douglas waiting for my plane to arrive. Now I've met some of the most adorable children and people around here. An old lady used a Charlie Sheen phrase "One speed, GO." I died laughing. But I'm just chilling out and honestly, I'm so damn jittery off of coffee and stuff. I have been waiting a while to see my fiance and right now, I feel crazy nervous. A lot of things have been going through my head.

But I think I'll be just fine,

Sitting here watching a ass load of soldiers walk into the Airport also made my heart flutter, the feeling came back, the wondering how I'll feel when my love is infront of me again. I am kind of worried that I might cry, but at the same time I'm like " LA LA LA , Whatever."

I'm sure everything will be just peachy, well. That's all for now, Until I board the plane, I'll make sure to update when I get to Minneapolis!

JERO, My Hero.

2011-08-09T15:42:00.001-07:00

Now, This is gonna sound pretty stupid.

But JERO is my hero.

I've seen plenty of mixed asian people.

But..Jero, He is just out there making a name for himself, and I would love to meet him or attend one of his concerts, I believe I shall do that too!

A very popular person who is also of african-american/asian decent is NE-YO.

He is black and chinese.

Now...If he's not cool, I don't know what isn't. XD I <3 his music!!!

These 2 men make my car stereo shake!

I really love listening to "海雪" by Jero.

AND listening to "Closer" Or "Tonight." By Ne-Yo.

They totally don't let ethnicity determine their status in the world.

I also really like Enka music, It's beautiful!

And I somewhat wish that maybe in the near future it blows up more.

One of my friends was like "That's...old people music."

but then I show her the video of Jero in the stage rockin' Thug clothes, hat to the side, pants down under his ass, rocking out singing 'Umiyuki' and she's like "O_o' That's genius." C:

Yes, Yes it is.

I might start practicing old Enka songs when my piano lessons are over.

August 9 - Updates~!

2011-08-09T14:55:00.000-07:00

Alright everyone.

What is upppp?

XD Today was not boring, mildly interesting.

But anywho, so I found out Ken passed the PT and YES!

I'm going to TX for sure now.

:3 OH YES!

I've been kinda looking forward to this shiz forever now!

So, A small group I am in on FB happened to kind of come to terms with looks today, we all had a huge discussion on Ethnicity and how people try to judge it.

It makes me just...I think I'm really losing hope for some of the humanity.

XD!

Anyway, Loves.

Just hope you all know...

And...Yes...

But, Your haters are gonna make you famous. :3

Stay golden!!

2 Partly Japanese chicks...In a Photobooth

2011-08-08T22:45:00.000-07:00

Now..I know I'm not the only one who thinks this should be illegal.

LOL!!!

Just kidding, We had TONS of fun at the mall and went to see 'The Zookeeper'

I love her to death, she's adorably cool, and 2 inches taller than me (That's depressing.)

But still, we are 2 pretty cool part japanese kids, bro.

That's it for now lovelies.

Is my older sister's not cute?

LOL! I thought it was adorable how she would bust out laughing.

The Transition/ Stop Hating Your Body!

2011-08-08T01:56:00.001-07:00

Seeing this picture reminds me of middle school year where every girl was jealous of that one girl with fair skin, long flowing hair, Big breasts and size 1 jeans.

During my year 6 I vaguely remember admiring that girl, because no, I was not chubby or overweight or anything but I was actually very small chested, and very plain. I didn't even KNOW what make up was at that time. I wore 2 braids infront of my head where my bangs now are and my family called them 'Devil Horns'. I was that one androgynous looking 6th grader dressed in all black who ignored everyone's bullshitty gossip and just minded her business. But even I secretly admired that one pretty popular skinny girl. All the guys wanted her, all the girls wanted to be her. Now, I was a hell of a monster during my Middle School years, always fighting and getting sent to the principal's office. I went through a tragic experience in 7th grade that caused me to just up and dissapear from SC and move into Charlotte, NC with my father for about 1/2 years. Now, I was pretty bothered and shaken by the incident that happened but after that I slowly started making a transition into something wonderful, something that made me FEEL beautiful, a gyaru. Now, At the age of around 11/12 I didn't exactly KNOW what a gyaru was but looking back on it now I did see plenty of them in Charlotte. Beautiful tan skinned asians or mixed ethnicities with wide eyes, contact lens, dyed hair. It was like fashion galore and once I got a tiny taste I remembered wanting to be there, Wanting that.

With lots of good behavior, My father let me get those types of clothing as rewards although I would purposely get things I knew I couldn't at the time fit just for when I got older. Now, I went through a lot in Charlotte as well and then found myself rushed back to SC for Christmas and spending 8th grade year back down here. I had changed, from the androgynous looking weirdo to something pretty, I had nice straight hair, arched brows, a natural B cup and a nice figure! And I heard plenty of shitty rumors about me getting surgery or whatever dumb ass things people love saying. I was like "Wtf? I'm only 13, Why the hell would I even be THINKING about surgery?" Since I was actually a hardcore nerd and a major bookworm around my 8th grade year. I had left looking creepy, and coming back more beautiful than most wanted to remember. Guys noticed me more, girls wanted to be my friend but I couldn't help but think it might have all been a bit shallow? Around 9th grade year I started to slowly realize, "Oh my God...There are SO many beautiful women!" Around 9th grade year girls who were skinny like twigs and talking about vomitting up their lunches disgusted the fuck out of me, I thought "Why would you do vulgar things like that to your body just to maintain such a disgusting looking shape?" And I stopped envying those super thin girls. I started seeing my own body in a different light, No. I'm not skinny at all! I'm 103.3 lbs and I am pretty shaply, I wear size 3 or 5 jeans now! My bra size now is...2 sizes bigger than it was in like 8th grad and I ALWAYS have to shop around the kids/petite's isle. I used to HATE looking in the mirror, and I used to find myself pretty ugly. But when I started to realize how people could be beautiful in any different way I begun to fall in love with myself. When I met Kenny in 2010 I found out that I didn't need to be some white girl. Because he was able to love me as Yumi, The African American,Japanese,Indian girl. And not Yumi, Some white girl. I am prideful that he loves me the way I am. No, I'm not super petite, but I'm not huge either. I admire some girls who wear Plus size. Girls who have a lot of confidence make me proud. I had lived a life hiding myself from the world because I felt like I wasn't beautiful enough. But even BEFORE Kenny I was realizing that everyone around me was beautiful in their own different ways. The girl from China and the group of females from Russia were my best friends during 9th grade along with a few others! I was SO close to all of them! They took me in and loved and cared about me despite me being different. During break I ALWAYS hung around the Foreign room and making friends with the different kids! It was amazing! Different cultures, different languages, I am in love with that room and even this year as a Junior I plan to hang around there once more and make even newer friends.

10th grade year REALLY opened my eyes to this fact of body hatred, I watched girls abuse their bodies by vomiting, starving. I saw things that made me sad. I was in shock that people would do that to themselves, Is being so thin really worth it? Because personally, I don't think so. I never stuck a toothbrush or anything down my throat. For those with Anorexia, I can excuse it because it's a disorder, but someone who has NO ailments and is just doing it because' Omg, Paris Hilton." Then you need to STFU, and realize you ARE beautiful even though you're NOT fucking fitting size 1 jeans! EVERY race is beautiful, Every color is beautiful, every face is wonderful. We're unique, that's a good thing that we're not all alike. And we should ALL be proud of how we look, who we are.

Girls, STOP HATING YOUR BODY!

You are SO pretty even though you cannot see it! Remember that I used to walk down the halls trying to figure out how I could go from size 3 jeans to size 0!! Okay?! Remember that! You are so lovely the way you look!!

I just want all of you girls to know...

Charlie Sheen, WINNING?

2011-08-08T00:23:00.001-07:00

Now, This has been plaguing my mind wildly for the last week or so. I have never been more in love than seeing this man. Charlie. Sheen.

I know many people actually ridicule him for his drug usage and what not but someone who is so open with his life and not giving 2 shits about how the world views him because of his 'Adonis DNA' and Tiger blood is just...Too damn cool.

I have sat here watching this interview and the first couple of times I was in DNA.

"One speed lady: GO!"

Someone who says something like that, Makes me actually wish I could look into their brain and see what exactly makes him tick?

I don't usually poke my nose into the media so much but I've noticed they say his drug abuse has been going on forever.

News Reporter : "Are you willing to take a drug test?"

Charlie Sheen: "That's about the dumbest question in the world, Obiously. *Pause.* I'm Batman."

Someone who can sit around throwing answers like that makes me just so curious as to what the hell could have happened to him in childhood to make him like this?

I actually admire Charlie Sheen, Who was once uncle Charlie from 2 and 1/2 men, Now some crazed lunatic who is so well noticed in the Media for his misfits and drug abuse along with his slogan 'Duh, Winning.'

In ways, I'm still forming my opinions about it so, It remains up in the air, my full thoughts about Charlie Sheen.

Well my dears, I want you to also know that...

LOL!

2011-08-07T19:06:00.000-07:00

Today was just... Really lazy.

XD!!

Other than talking to my fiance I just..

Bleh! Took care of this 6 week old kitten.

Now, Really, someone shoulda told me they weren't as easy as Hakumen and Yuki were to raise.

This little kitten just, OH GEEZ!

-.-' I won't even start about it.

But other than trying to settle into schedule with her, I've just had a pretty good, lazy,enjoyable day.

I am SO excited for the 11th, I'll be going to chill in NC for the night then catching my flight on the morning of 12th.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!

Texas, is going, to be, the, shiz.

>:3, Not only will it be Shopping, And Kenny, And pictures, But just.. Being there!

I'm looking forward to it so bad, lol!

Truth be told if I could just work and sleep this week off like normal, that'd be some good stuff right there.

Anywho, Gotta put up the vid of the little kitten soon.

Oh my, YT just hates HD. XD I remember the last time I uploaded a vid it was like 110 minutes.

I looked at the comp. screen like "WTF,BRO?!"

XDDD!

But yeah, I don't want to name her just yet, I would rather wait for a bit.

Well my precious dears, :3 You already know...

And of COURSE, they will make you famous.

But those haters should just accept that they are really your fans. >:3

Just A Tiny Update~

2011-08-06T17:21:00.000-07:00

Finally booked the trip, Kami-sama, that is some killer shit to be sitting around booking flights.

Anywho, it'll probably be pic-heavy.

Oh Friday, I'm excited as heck!

Haven't been on a flight since I went to visit the grandparents in Trini &Tobago.

LOL!

This is gonna be some epic stuff,bro.

Anywho~

Just posting cause I realize how lazy I'm getting, :3

Also kinda 'babysitting' a 6 week old kitten. We decided to name her Beatrice from Umineko, Why?

Cause..This cat has a troll face, And my cat... Is like "HISSSSSS!!!"

Funniest shit ever man.

Anyways.

That's all for now my dears.

And remember.

But those haters, They make you famous. >:3

Charlie Sheen, Brilliant As Usual.

2011-08-04T09:11:00.001-07:00

Bleh, I just woke up. And personally, I would rather just sleep in today, have tooooo much shit to do but eh, I suppose that's my fault since I shoulda done all this stuff sooner!

Anyway, Charlie Sheen. Listening to him talk, Listening to him ranting is in a weird way, inspiring but also kind of strange. I wouldn't say I idolize him but LOOK at how crazy he is! Yet the media is all over him, I know I speak for a LOT of other people that if it was ANYBODY else they'd indefinitely be ruined but Charlie Sheen, Naw. He doesn't give a Fuck! Cause he's winning, Winner winner Sheen Dinner.

XD someone like him, He is epic.

Maybe it's the drugs, but he doesn't seem to care that everyone watches him, he often refers to trolls and says how he hopes trolls are eaten by sharks or trolls make phones. LOL

I'm kind of in awe that someone like this exists though, I suppose it's because I haven't been paying much attention to the Media like I used to?

But eh, Not like he's the only one. Don't forget about Lady Gaga, some of the shit she does is just plain freakish but why is it when she's doing weird shit and you see someone like Christina Ag or Pink! doing something, they are copying Gaga?

Um, No. Weird was invented WAY before Gaga, Now she DOES some weird shit but that doesn't mean everyone is copycatting her. I noticed that for a long time throughout her platform of climbing the charts but now that she is somewhat dormant it seems like the insult has died down as well. Thank God.

But Anywho, I have to head out, I'll be back later. :3

So with that, Dears. I tell you...

But, Those haters make you famous. :3

Different Hairstyle?

2011-08-03T21:25:00.000-07:00

Eh, I was trying something a bit different and I REALLY liked the way this looked after I curled it and started teasing it, Goodness, I am LOVING the way it looks.

I might wear it out sometime really soon. ;3

On this note, I want to mention that, I feel good about how they turned out, I was pretty tired when I started putting on my Gyaru make, Oh GOSH my arms were crazy tired.

Kingsley makes me grin, He's just. Crazy!

I love howgreat he is when he is executing his hits and ranting.

I honestly think he's just.. Oh my, I am inspired with him, he speaks some true shit.

I mean I've seen/heard some retarded ass rants. :3

But him, He is one of those people that I just.. Really! I enjoy hearing him rant!

Anywho, I'm so damn lazy sometimes.

I'll post them later on in the day. :3

LOL! On this topic about good quotes with a friend of mines named Jeffery, He decided to say " I don't give a fuck what people have to say about me, they can kiss my ass."

I'm like " Bro, We don't kiss Nalgas, we get our nalgas kissed."

And, A very nice young woman by Elizabeth goes, "FUCK BITCHES, GET MONEY."

I die laughing! That term used to be ALL over the school hallways, far as I remember when there was crazy drama with girls and their bf's sometimes girls would choose money over the man and say that, It brought back such great memories! I'm excited that School's back. :3

So, I'm gonna just Play some Sims 3, And listen to some Kingsley for a while!o

So Remember my dears,

But..Those same haters, Make you famous. :3

A Well Overdue Welcome To My Sister, Chaudie.

2011-08-03T21:07:00.000-07:00

Today was a GLORIOUS day!

I not only got off of work at a reasonable time for once and caught up on great time with one of my good friends, BUT today was like...

Remember that once scene from 'Memoirs Of A Geisha' Where Chiyo was bestowed Mameha as her older sister?

I have gotten myself a very cool older sister.

None other than Chaudie.

She's actually a lot more than I thought she'd be as we made this kind of bond.

When I begun to talk to her more than I usually did, I not only realized how great of a person she was but also how under-respected she is!

I look UP to Gal Mama's all over the world, taking that time out of the day to NOT ONLY make YOURSELF look good but to get your BABY looking good as well?

Mothers in general are VERY under-appreciated in the world, in my opinion!

And she was SO willing to take me under her wing.

I know alot of you probably want to say, " Oh what's so special about her, Blah blah blah."

Plenty of things about her made me intrigued in her.

Not only her personality, but how she didn't mind speaking to me, she didn't alienate me or anything. When we spoke, She was actually looking at the real me and not some exterior thing like if I'm pretty or ugly. She was talking to me like a human being and being very understanding.

When the time came around that we started talking about Gal sisters she was so open to accept me as a younger sister!

Looks like... This Chiyo got herself a Mameha. :3

Lol What a strange analogy to use.

But upon talking about something of being bullied I happened to say something very strange that she still quotes as something good.

"Bitches Gon' Bitch, I'ma just do me."

At the time I had just been thinking of all the ways of the world, how people are always trying to talk down to others, and she thought it was interesting and pretty laughable.

But I believe it's a VERY serious quote if I think on it.

Because it's pretty true, Stepping into the Gal world I've seen a bit of things I dis-approve of and slowly formed my own opinions of it but having her as my Sister to guide me and even if needed, be firm with me, makes it all worth while.

I personally at the moment feel like there are PLENTY of things in the Gyaru world that irk me but at the same time I'm still becoming more and more excited.

I know that the Old style is clashing with the new style and that's pretty understandable but just like how mothers are unappreciated, even the older versions of Gyaru are.

I feel, they deserve our utmost respect and we should honor them, becasuse if it wasn't for them, would we be here?

No, Not at all, Not one bit.

I know Romanba was supposed to even be a spoof or a joke but seeing that, Made me actually pretty interested, I thought. "Gee, that is a very interesting combo and if someone was brave enough to pull it off, maybe it'd become the real thing one day."

It pulled me in, Whether it's real or not I find myself constantly dressing in such a manner, I could walk around wearing frilly skirts with crazy teased up hime curls

AND

have on my manba/banba make up and feel so confident in myself about it!

I mean Yamanba is also a VERY great style in my opinion, many hate it but I feel like only someone very unique and unafraid of other's opinions tries it.

That is my statement, So I do welcome with all joy.

My Older Sister,

Chaudalyn!!

And We're WINNING~!

2011-08-03T13:07:00.000-07:00

Oh My Kami-Sama!!!

I just saw a rant about Charlie Sheen and it's just...Oh my GOODNESS!

XDDD

"Oh? You have tiger blood, Ahahaha, Ahahaha! Ahahahah!!"

I just...I'm in LOVE with Kingsley's rants.

He's fucking crazy!

XD I love Charlie Sheen's idiocy though.

I just, I Keep laughing like crazy when I listen to the fact that Charlie Sheen was "Winning."

Poor People are really retarded these days! I never knew people could be like Charlie Sheen, Poor Media, XD I am noticing how my blog is slowly being lurked so much and it makes me grin.

I still remember those days back when I sat around just posting on FB all day.

:3 Twitter, Eh.

Tumblr, Ehhhh,

FB, That's 'Winning'

XD I'm not trying to 'Win, Not trying to LOSE, I say shit cause I wanna say it!'

Yes, Yes indeed Kingsley, Yes.

WINNING!

XD I am probably going over to a friend's for a bit but I just HAD to mention this.

I had totally forgotten how much I loved shit like that!

Any who, I just have to say, I really appreciate knowing good people these days.

I got a new sister and I'm absolutely sure she's gonna be cool as hell. But for those of you who won't like her... Too bad :3

Fly a kite, Bro.

XDDDDD!

I'm so depressed for idiots these days, But all over the media is where they remain.

Pshhh, I'll just take some good ol' Paris Hilton news anyday.

Anyyywhoo,

I'll post laterrr

Just remember, Dolls

But Those Same haters, They make you famous. ;P

Fun Filled Day!

2011-08-02T21:47:00.000-07:00

Today was actually pretty fun, Bleh. I got a day off and spent it.. You guessed it. :3

Hanging out with one of my friends and hitting the mall, Went to see 'Zookeeper' which was very hilarious in my opinion. That movie, XD Talking animals would trip me out. Then again I see that a lot these days ;P

Anywho, So after that I came home with my dear friend and we had a long discussion about things like gyaru fashion and make up.

EVENNN though she is half-japanese she is just... LOL!!!

I love her though regardless. I was like "Gyaru."

And she goes. "Gee-ya,what the fuck is that?"

I just died laughing! But I have loads of fun with her.

Also, Who doesn't love Hello Kitty? I personally wish I could make my ENTIRE wardrobe full of that type of clothing~!

Enrolling for school was so so, I'm looking forward to Friday though!

Getting to meet up with the Theatre Arts kids of the school I'll be attending this year.

Winning~

That is all for today, And remember.

:3 Take care darlings~!

TOPIC: Haters Only Make You Famous~

2011-08-02T08:19:00.000-07:00

Hello, and Good morning my lovely readers!

So I'm finally waking my lazy ass up and getting all dressy.

Gotta go to work, Again today.

Siiigh, Lol Money can get you things though so It ain't even an issue I suppose.

So I've been hearing a lot of shit but I'm just kinda like.. "Eh."

I mean I was getting worked up and mad about stupidity when a VERY important friend decided to tell me something I should have been thinking about since the beginning of the day.

"Haters Gonna Hate, But Haters Only Make You Famous."

Yes.

Brilliantly said, At that.

I had to think about it for a very long time, It's just like how people can say they hate people who are living with their day and on the front of a magazine not giving 2 shits what haters think.

But you know why, right?

I suppose that is because why should they sweat small bitches trying to stop their day when they are living the good life?

:3 They are exactly right, And I'm not gonna stop looking up to the women and men of the generation that are capable of doing that!

It's very tough for a bit but after a while, you stop giving a rat's ass what your haters have to think. Don't you know? Even if they are even bothering to insult you, For every 1 person that likes you, there will be even more that hate you.

Look at Rebecca Black, Many hate her but she is doing her thing and singing her songs like it's nothing. Now, I am not one for her music but she is a prime example of 'Haters Gon' Hate' In my opinion. Any girl especially so young who doesn't give a poo what everyone thinks of her and is doing her thing, she deserves a little bit of respect if not much in my opinion.

I could name a various amount of stars and where they stand today,Not everyone is gonna like you, And even I can see that from my standing point. :3

We're all just specks of dust on the Earth anyway, so why bother giving a shit what someone else thinks about you when they are only helping make you famous even if it's spreading a load of gossip and bs all over the place?

I know a good bit of western Gyaru who have been subjected to the treatment as well but look at them now, They are doing nothing but moving on with life, Haters can only Hate and make you famous. Always remember that! No, I am not saying it will be easy to move on and stop giving thought to the hatred because it isn't, but if you know that your better than sinking to that level, keep on moving, more power to you girl!

Me, Not so much.

Lol!

I was forever troll baited around age 12-14 and I sometimes let it be, or just was pure troll bait. :3

Getting older I realize even now at the most subjectable times, I get baited in by the bullshit I hear and decided that maybe from today on, Fuck the haters. :3 Hey, They are still your fans even if it's just a different aspect of it all.

Hahahahaha! I know it sounds stupid but it's true! Even Haters say they hate you but if they did... Why take personal time out of their day to seek out information on you and smack talk you?

Maybe for all you know. You've become their 'Obsession' and even if they are wasting time trying to ruin you.. Hey? What'd I tell ya, Fuck em. That's right~ Let those pests be dead to you.

More power to ya! While they sit back and talk, those nyappy headed hos as Nicki Minaj has said best, Just be yourself and be you. Don't let a little hate crowd stop you from getting where you want to be in your life. Whether it be a great Gyaru, or a good Make up Guru, or even Singer/Dancer or a Chef.

Don't EVER let haters stop you.

That reminds me, I have a special T-Shirt for this day.

And written clearly on it, It states " If hating is your occupation, I can give you a full time job."

Fuck yes. :3

I can give ANYONE a full time job. Quite frankly I have to say someone's name being diminished over the web is a lot harder to stop than in real life, Why? Because usually you can confront that one person where as on the web people can only listen to one of 2 sides and in most cases you know..Everyone enjoys Drama and idiocy to the fullest, so I think it's a bit harder to handle it over the internet. I know plenty of girls that have given up their dreams because they've been bullied and talked down to. And that upon anything else pisses me off, Why did you let your dream go to waste over fucking people who aren't even there? Shit,
Drake KNOWS he got haters and he told 'em them bitches buy 2 of his CD's and claim they got it for their sisters. People that are haters, They'll never stop that never ending cycle.

But then there is also this outlook that I'm sure we've all heard as children.

"They say they hate because they are jealous." Oh yes.

That old phrase brings back some good ass memories for me.

Back in the day of childhood, I related to this one the most, As a child I was not rich but I do even now, still live well taken care of. :3

A lot of people tried to knock me down about my living wear-abouts. So, It's not a house that's built out of fucking bricks but a house is a place where people who love and support you live, where you have a roof over your head,food on the table, and clothes on your back. Of course I don't live in a box or anything, xD but I'm just making a point, People will try to knock you down for the dumbest shit.

But it's up to you to let it happen and get hurt or just say " Haters only Make me famous."

And walk away.

What is your choice going to be?

Mines is already quite clear. ;3

August 1,2011 (Epic Pic Heavy Weekend)

2011-08-01T22:57:00.000-07:00

Let me just start by saying I had a wonderful time with my family this weekend, My mother and I packed some clothes and we were off! Down 74 and heading to Charlotte for a family reunion.

The only thing I sadly inform everyone of is that I did not get pictures of myself with my father but I got everything else just about, also. My mother is a coolie (Indian) so we went to a Hindi/Indian shoppe in Charlotte and purchased 'Bindi' to ward off evil eyes ;P

My mother sometimes says my looks vary from a Dougla (Half indian) to a straight up asian person. XD But anywho! Enjoy these lovely pictures! I'll start slow!

Of course, I wake up, looking fraggle and disgusting, with my baggy nasty partial monolids of doom.

So On Friday I just so happened to go to the mall with my half-japanese friend Lolo! Hurray for half asians uniting! Lol She....She thought this so called Justin boobie cut out was cool so what more could I do but take some photos of her?

This is my beautiful friend re-adjusting her top with Starbucks in hand (XD we wouldn't be ourselves if it wasn't for that Coffee~)

Next up I saw that adorable bag infront of the GAP kids store and laughed at myself because I even know how tiny I am! I sure coulda fit those clothes if I wanted to go in and try them on.

But I'm too much of a worry wart, so another time.

Then, We came upon Claire's Icing Rack of earrings on the walk to the local Belks, And let me say I was just mesmerized! Those have got to be some of the most gorgeous earrings I've seen in a long time~

*Ahem* Yes...Justin Bieber Fragrance, Although I dislike him, I won't lie, that smelled so heavenly!!

Next up! My mom and I took a long drive to Charlotte, NC to visit family~! We got to talk to each other and bond a bit while I cam-whored. XDD My mom was kinda like "You narcissist" And I only agreed with her. Cannot help myself to taking plenty of pictures!

Some came out a bit blurry, this was before my circle lens were put in or any make up was applied, My mother complained that I always wear make up and she doesn't see me natural a lot.

These nails, Just thought I'd mention them, Adorable as hell, And reasonably priced, Around $30~
Anywho! I managed to steal a picture with my oji-san.

I feel kinda bad that he's got diabetes Type 2, it is in the bloodline so I'd better take care of my health! Also he's about 70 so it's not like he can do much but be a sumo wrest- Er... Be my grand pa.
Another picture of me during the car ride as we got closer to Charlotte, I started to put on the make up and lens.
Wtf? I don't remember what that was but it looked very interesting, one of the forests we were passing by maybe around Hilsboro.
Ah Yes, The two pieces of Technology that kept the ride Oh-So-Entertaining~ That wonderous phone and Psp of mines!

This is around the time I stuck the lens in I believe, But, Lemme say the solution I bought this time around wasn't too well, I'll get another probably this coming weekend.

Palty and what's this...A special suprise!
:3 Lower lashes, FTW
The package my lashes arrived in today~!!

My grandpa's cute little Chiuahua~

Anywho, So as you saw, I had a kind of eventful weekend!

This Friday though for certain these are the things I'm dying to buy!

These 2 shoes... I would love nothing more than to own a pair of these. I have something similar to the one on the right but it's now a bit ruined by my cats who enjoy using them like a scratching post. =.=;

Well, That's it for now everyone. :3 Hope you do well and take care!!

Orders In, Booking Flights...

2011-08-01T15:25:00.000-07:00

Blehh~!

Today was just.. Eh! Actually fun~

I went out to eat at the Japanese Cafe with my mother and one of my co-workers.

We got to talk for a while about the job before everyone split and I headed off to housekeep.

It was wild, And the dog, He was just being himself and leaping everywhere.

So when I finally headed home to check the mailbox (Suprise!)

The lashes finally arrived in the mail~ I was sooo excited.

They are very nice and a good amount for such a price, only in Hong Kong though~

I just stacked them in their own drawer with the PALTY for now, until I have time to try them out.

Maybe tomorrow I will.

But moving on, Tonight I will be booking my flight for Texas, Going to go visit the fiance for a while before coming back to my boring town ;P

I'm looking forward to it like hell though~

Hmmm, I don't think there is anything else right now to do but another JP lesson or 2 before I go shopping or something~

Hahahaha~! My day is something else.

Take care till next time everyoonne~

Milky Way (aka GEO Xtra Lavender) Green Lens Review

2011-07-11T23:21:00.000-07:00

So this will be one of my first and many to come of the lens reviews.

This specific pair of lens were bought from Eyecandylens.com

which in my opinion is VERY reasonably priced!

What I really liked so much about this 'Flower' series is the fact that

they are not a problem to put in my eye, nor do they bother me.

I have gone a good 8-10 hours with these on and not felt a thing.

The enlargment is to die for!

I love how wide and beautifully colored my eyes look when I wear

these. Many people notice me a bit more because of the 'Doll' effect of the lens.

They are a 15 mm with 16 mm effect added on so it's like a larger size without the hassle.

I could not find any problems with them such as the designing, I loved ever aspect about them, especially the black ring, it blends in beautifully to the iris and looks very natural on the eyes.

My ratings for these would be:

Enlargement: 9/10

Colour/pattern: 8/10

Comfort: 10/10

Overall: 8/10

I hope you decide on purchasing one of these lens from the 'Flower' Series!

They are overall more comfortable than anything else.

Thank you for reading. :3

ミー夫人ル呼ぶ ☆♡

2011-07-10T22:53:00.000-07:00

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Kenny's fiancee I can only say how much I enjoy it.

Slowly transforming within my Gyaru style and finding something that can suit me makes me very happy. My life has changed a lot and so has my style, from being messy and slowly starting as a mountian hag to right now settling as a banba. Sure, my wigs are not very good but teasing can solve that problem. :3

I am really happy with where I am in my life right now.

Japanese lessons are much fun!

I admire Yukapon these days, I wonder how she kept herself so occupied when she had to do multiple japanese lessons a day!

Well, I have work early in the morning~!

It was nice to talk though.

But I shall post again soon!

He Came Back~

2011-07-01T11:42:00.000-07:00

(My boyfriend's battle buddy and his gf ^^)

(Rachel [Seen above] along with other army wives/girlfriends)

(My Family Day Style)

(The T-Shirt I made for Family Day)

(Re-dyed my bangs red and curled them up a little)

I'm sorry for not posting in a LOONG ass time.

I've been really excited to see my loved one.

I watched his amazing graduation yesterday and lemme say it was one of the best moments in my life.

He is now a U.S. Soldier. But still the Ken I love with all my heart.

He came home with me and we spent plenty of time together.

I will admit I got a bit upset that his family showed up when they did, just when we were getting intimate. But eh. Shit happens.

We went out to dinner at Lil Tokyo (A Hibachi)

But I honestly felt like I didn't belong there. He needed to catch up with his friends, so why did I have to be there? I love him yet I felt like shit. I felt so left out.

And he would give me sad looks but I couldn't do more than hide in the bathroom and cry the first couple of minutes prior to arriving in the Hibachi. The shitty feeling consumed me from the inside out.

Jealousy.

Why be jealous of his friends? I unno. Felt like he smiled and laughed more with them.

Maybe this is why a lot of the time I think I need to be more detached with him. I am too jealous and bitchy of a girl to make him so happy like they do.

But there is also a difference, I'm his girlfriend, They are his friends.

He hadn't seen them in a long time so it was expected that he'd be so joyful with them.

I wish I wasn't this big of an emotional wreck when he showed up.

I wish I never cried infront of him last night. I wanted it to be such a happy time.

Yet it felt like it was distressful, I 0nly cought 3 hours of sleep for today.

I cried, And cried and cried till I choked and Hiccuped, then cried more.

My heart hurted to take him back to base but the hopes of seeing him again soon makes me feel a lot better.

Now that he has a phone he can talk to me more often and he also has a computer.

So maybe I won't feel so alone like I did the past 2 months.

I really love him.

More than anyone or anything I've ever cared for in my entire life.

2011-06-07T21:54:00.000-07:00

Woow~!
So I had somewhat of an eventful day.
Working, Renewing permits, Shopping.
Hahahah, that's just cause I'm lazy.
Buuuut, I got a Tablet and have been drawing since 5 pm.
I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I do!
I'm probably gonna go all Decoden on it when the bulk stuff arrives.
Then I let a friend of mine meet my cute little kittens.
Wtf?
Cute?
I was like "Them Mother*Insert Curse*s like to bite toes, that ain't cute shit."
But Eh, I guess they are cute if they still live in my house.
Rofl.
So, Only 22 days till I get to go see Kenny graduate from Basic Training.
Yes.
=\
22 long ass days.
I really can't stand the wait but whatever, Long as we get to catch up.
Not to mention I finally got my hair cut.
Bangs, FTW.
<3
That's all for now.

So yesterday was major coolio but I forgot to upload those awesome pics.
I went for a normal gal look that didn't stick like a sore thumb.
So, What do you guys think about it?
Sorry for posting so late.
Today I'll probably be taking pictures~!

Super Star~

2011-05-24T07:47:00.000-07:00

So this is one of my first Purikura photos ever.

Isn't it adorable?

I should have more pictures later on today.

Anywho these weeks have been busy without my Kenji-kun.

I have about 6 more weeks until I get to go to his graduation!

I will have many pictures up on June 3rd.

Officially I have a gal cir~!

We will remain un-named until further notice.

Because I can't quite think of a good name.

D:<

But it's a very diverse group with Hime,Gal Mama, And even Yamanba.

We're gonna look amazing taking over this city.

More to come soon!

I'm picking up my new green circle lens after school today!

And I'm mega excited, Since my Purple ones ripped.

Eh.

I cried a bit but there was nothing I could do!

I hope another good sale goes on soon so I can afford more!

☆Shopping Spree☆

2011-05-13T20:03:00.000-07:00

So I got paid today and in all honesty although I became a Gyaru...
I have slacked off like crazy, I dress up to go out to school but I realize I barely ever shop.
So I went out with my friend today and got some suuper sexy clothes~!
I'm a bit excited to see my fiancee in June 30 For his graduation.
I am at the same time a bit sad that people are afraid of me for being a manba.
I lost a couple of friends for that reason but what can I say? "If you don't like it, Why do you have to stop being my friend?" Whatever.
For every friend I've ever lost 9/10 times I got a gyaru friend to help me out.
Why should I care though?
Summer's coming up, I will dress to impress and maybe try to go for a more of a toned down look?
I will go for a tsuyome banba perhaps.
I am extreme, I LOVE Manba/Banba yet at the same time.
I feel like my friendship isn't deep enough with certain people that they get scared of me when I reveal to them these kinds of thing.
Maybe I honestly need to go for a more toned down gal look so I stop giving everyone heart attacks when I'm not from a place full of open-minded people...
Anywhoo~
Check out this pic spam of the stuff I bought~

Bought from Wet Seal :D

These shirts are from Hot Topic

My new belly ring courteous to Spencers

Today's Outfit

My make up or today was subtle to match my clothes.

Some adorable panties <3

My adorable new top, Was about 22.50

Hahaha~ I knew my fiancee would love this.
We're Panda bear and Domo Obsessed.

Well hopefully I'll post more things tomorrow.
Thanks for reading.

☆☆ANNOUNCEMENT ☆☆

2011-05-02T18:43:00.000-07:00

Sooo.
I know this is very late notice but tomorrow will be my debut of my new wig ordered from MintyMix.
I did tell a lot of friends at school about it but by a lot I mean only 3-5 at most.
The rest of school might shit bricks when they see me!
I wanna go all out and wear my manba/yamamba make too.
But I'm super scared about how people will see me.
Eh.
It doesn't matter.
I have never been 'normal' to the particular school I attend in the first place.
No one really likes me too much so I'm like "Kiss my ass. Your opinion doesn't matter."
Because at the start of this I said I'm going through with it and I meant every word.
No one will intimidate me because of my like/lifestyle.
So Tomorrow's post will most likely be VERY PIC HEAVY if I can help it.
I'm also still trying to get some people to make a Gal-Cir down here in the SOUTH CAROLINA Area.
You know these folks down south have never even heard of an azn mix breed much less a MIXED azn girl walking down the street in banba/yamanba trend.
They might freak the hell out.
But oh well. I'm gonna rest early.
Cause I gotta be up soooo earrrlly to do this make up.
And I'm missing my favorite eyeshadow/eyeliner so I'm really fuxked right now.
Oh well, I'm gonna work with my eye pencil and my stick eyeliner.
Yuck.
But I FINALLY got the concealer I've been searching for.
I know my wig might not be teased cause I have never teased a WIG before, just my normal hair.
Wish me luck everyone.
I'm gonna post more frequently, I got nothing to do.
Love,
Yumi

P.S.
I'm actually still pretty sad about my Fiancee going to BCT but this could be the push I need, To come out of my shell and be myself with everyone. If they don't like me they can go fly a kite!

Love you Gals~

Pardon Me!

2011-04-29T08:12:00.001-07:00

So I've been quite inactive with this blog yet again.
I am just zoning out a bit.
I am awaiting the wig in the mail. Hahahaha!
Yesterday I could have shanked the FEDEX man cause I was so excited for that package.
I haven't seen it yet but I guess I'm just rushing it and should have some patience.
Eh.
I also have been doing serious slacking on my vids for YT.
Wow.
I never realized that my bf being gone for so long was making me feel this way.
But it's an honest feeling of hurt and sadness.
I don't want to share him, I don't want anyone but me to send him letters.
But I'm sure he doesn't want to hear from me too much either since he misses his friends.
I am a bitch.
A serious bitch and I need to go find some friends or something.
Cause I am just stupid, why be so selfish with my fiancee all the time?
Because I don't want him to love another person and leave me hurting.
Am I wrong?

Lonely Life : Day 3

2011-04-20T15:19:00.000-07:00

So it's been 3 days since my fiancee left to go to basic training in the army.
I've basically not slept much at all, I cried a lot of the days too.
It's really tough to not wake up next to him, to not give him cold water in the shower.
To not hug and kiss him. My life has drastically changed.
I never thought I'd be sitting around lifelessly and sobbing into clothing.
But that is how my life has been these rough couple of days.
Even as a gyaru, I can't get myself out of bed and dress awesomely like always.
Instead, I can only sob, and feel hurt.
I really wish I had awesome Gyaru Girl friends in South Carolina or nearby so I could hang out with them.

At this moment in my life I'd really appericiate a Nago-Sa. I need serious comfort that being couped in my house just can't offer me.
Well.
This is it for today.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.
<\3

☆Circle Lens, Wigs?☆

2011-04-18T19:32:00.000-07:00

So it's dawned upon me that all the while I've been looking for lens and new wigs but WHERE

does everyone get their wigs?

The ones like what Pin has?

Those beautifully colored wigs with amazing teasing that doesn't ruin them?

Does anyone know where I could find one of those?

I would love to have a nice,fluffy and well colored wig.

As for circle lens I've been thinking about getting as nice blue/green color going?

Would that be a good idea for me?

This is a picture I photoshopped to see how I'd look with green lens?

Do they look good?

Serious Depression...

2011-04-07T08:49:00.000-07:00

I was just listening to a bit of music and skimming the internetz when it came upon my attention that...It feels like the manba/banba and crazy dark tan styles are dying.
It makes me depressed because I am a follower of those styles and would love to consider myself a yamanba but...The style is dying.
All I really see anymore is barely any tan with too much sweet and frilly.
When I checked wasn't Gyaru/Ganguro made as a stand up against society?
And now it's BECOMING too similar to society.

I live in South Carolina, I'm a westerner so I can't help it but it irritates me that the once amazing rebellious style is now settling down and becoming nothing but cute and sweet?
What is happening?
=\

☆A Quick Update To My Lovely People☆

2011-04-05T08:30:00.000-07:00

I haven't been posting a lot lately and the reason for that is because my HSAP's are creeping up quickly. I have been studying plenty and working on my ganguro make up as well.
It's been a long week for me but I'm totally looking forward to spring break.
I have been procrastinating badly, Still no costume for Animazement but I could go as a Gyaru.
Not like the people of Raleigh, NC see that often.
Also I'm shopping for more contacts yet again!
I reeeaaaally want the new pair of diamond circle lens!

They look so pretty!!
I'm thinking of getting a lolita dress if anything else but they are pretty costly.

Maybe for my christmas or something I'll ask my fiancee for one!
Hahahaha!
I am also looking forward to lunch time in a couple of hours. Yesterday I made the most fantastic fried rice with teriyaki chicken every.

It looks so delicious doesn't it?

Anyway.
Just thought I'd tell you all why my posts haven't been frequent.
I'll try more to keep up with everyone!
Till later, See You All <3

☆☆Forgive Me!! ☆☆

2011-03-25T08:01:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been slacking on my part~!
I've recently been making videos for Youtube along with writing more stories for my old fans.
I'm a bad person!
I have forgotten all you dears who inspire me.
And to make up I'll give you a little gift.
A video I hold near and dear to me which had been made a while ago.
I hope you all enjoy this.

So as you all know I also enjoy dancing.
I need suggestions!
Maybe a Trapara para or a group dance.
My eyes are set on 'Success' Trapara
OR
'DBSK's Mirotic'
<3
Anywho I will most likely post here later too.
I'm sorry for such a delay,
Hopefully my video for 'Japan' will be up here as well pretty soon.
With nothing more than love.

-Yumi

☆ These Are A Must!!☆

2011-03-17T11:21:00.000-07:00

So I've been procrastinating and trying to hold off pictures until my face sore is gone.
I do have a self esteem complex, And having a sore makes me feel a bit worse.
Cause even make up doesn't cover it.
Buuuut~

Anywho, I plan on attending Animazement this year so I NEED my Rin Kagamine costume.
Along with my lolita maids' dress.

So today I tried a new look you could say, played with make up.
You could say I just enjoy making goofy faces infront of the camera.
That's true <3
I need to Remember to buy my circle lens.
Some false eyelashes too!
And even a wig, who knows.
I'm really debating it since I'm not sure if I'm ready to damage my hair again with color.

That's all for now.
Love,
Yumi

☆ A Long Day...☆

2011-03-16T13:57:00.000-07:00

Today was pretty long for me. I wasn't exactly in a great mood seeing as to how sleep deprived I happened to be.
I hardly got any sleep to be honest since I stayed up contemplating what kind of outfit I would wear to school.
Bleh!
I am sorry for not taking pictures that show my face. I am right now suffering from a sore that I find makes me look very gross so I decided to hide my face.
But this was my outfit for today.
I am wondering if I should get my hair cut since I really want bangs!
It's just that my hair is naturally curly so I'm not sure if I should get them.
I'd probably have to curl my hair a lot...
Anywho, So my day at school was pretty long seeing as to how the schedule was suddenly switched up and the whole class was stuck for about 2 1/2 hours in 1st block as opposed to our 60 minutes.
But also this disgusting sore on my lip seemed to make me feel less confident about myself than I normally could ever be. People claimed to not notice it but I felt like they stared at it from a mile away.
Eh. So school flew by slowly and I finally got to come home.
I made an amazing fandub to put on my youtube account when I'm done editing.
That is all for now.
And stay lovely people.

Love,
Yumi

日本のために祈って/思想ワンダーリング

2011-03-14T11:14:00.000-07:00

So today has been a pretty long and stressful day for quite a bit of us in school since Daylight Savings decided to intervene in everyone's life. I personally got up about 1-2 hours earlier than I normally do. I woke like normal, it was pretty outside but I wore a long sleeve because the weather bothers me very easily.
I continue to do my make -up while still trying to decide on exactly when I am going to order my circle lens.
Shame on me!
I wish I wasn't a procrastinator but I just can't stop worrying about when to get a costume instead of lenses. I REALLY want them both but I can afford one now, the other will most likely have to wait a loooonnng time since I can't afford it as of yet. XD
I want to purchase a 'Rin Kagamine' Cosplay outfit for about 100 or more.

Whereas lens are probably 7-30 dollars for one so about 14-90 dollars for a pair of lens.

I'm just uncertain of what to do first.
I will keep waiting it out though. Maybe save up 3 paychecks and then buy the costume and lens in one so I don't have to worry about it.
____________________________________________________________________

As many know the Gyaru named 'Hana' I read her blog about what happened in Japan.
I was very worried about everyone in Japan, Many people have lost their lives.
I am sad for what happened but to those that are okay, I'm very happy for them.
For those who have not been found, My heart goes to them, my tears are shed for these people who I don't know, I am not sure of what to even say since I'm slightly choked up with tears while typing this.
It hurt to know that people had lost their lives to a natural disaster, I ask myself why it happened but I can do nothing except sit in US and cry about it.
I just ask that everyone who read this, pray. Just please do what you can to help Japan get back to it's natural state, Please. Onegai Shimasu...
I will send money to funds for Japan.
Hopefully I am still planning on living there in the next couple of years.
But everyone stay strong.
Sincerely,
Yumi <3

So today we basically learned about how to get the area of prisms and cylinders.
Lol not that I was paying attention but I did get it done.
Adorable stuff, ne?

I also worked on my drawing from the previous night.

∧＿∧
（；´Д｀）

I'm totally excited for what do do when school is over.

I was thinking of playing some Capcom Vs Marvel 3!

Everyone knows Wesker is the sexiest man in that game.
I have an obsession with Wesker Albert, Ever since playing RE I just couldn't think of any other character besides him.
Hahahahaha!

Also my nails look pretty amazing, I think the funny shaped St.Patrick shamrocks are adorable though!

ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ
Aaaaah, So relaxed. I want a nap so bad! My eyes hardly stay open anymore.

Some Random photos of me today.

щ(ﾟДﾟщ)(屮ﾟДﾟ)屮

These pictures were Ah-mazing!

ギャルグループ？かわいい！

2011-02-21T07:25:00.000-08:00

So I've been thinking that Myrtle Beach needs a Gal group.
And Mainly I'd love to start one but the problem is, Who is honestly interested in Gal style besides me?
I think it'd be adorable to have a group. So I should start one.
What would I call it?
Who would be in it?
What kind of Gal Code would we have?
I'm still thinking up answers for these questions.
But anywho, I'm sure I'll start up a group soon.
Look forward to the posts to find out if I do.
Sincerly,
YumiCakesBby <3

Day 2 - A picture of someone you've been close to for the longest

2011-02-19T16:45:00.000-08:00

My okaa-sama is someone I've been closest to for the longest.
We have had our little fights and what not but as I grew up more and more I begun to understand life much more when she was here by my side.
She's a great mother. And I love her!

Day 1 - 10 Facts

2011-02-18T06:07:00.000-08:00

1. I love chocolate almond Pocky (Yush~! :3)

4.I enjoy pretending to be a photographer and giving my kittens photoshoots. >.< Loooser. Rofl.

5. Every 13th of February I like to go for a stroll on the beach to celebrate my birthdays.

6. A lot of my friends didn't support my choice of being a Gyaru but grew to enjoy it over time.

7. My mom....is scary. XD

8. I love my fiancee. He's an amazing man and he's mines. :D

Yumi's Dolly Make Up (由美)

2011-02-16T08:08:00.001-08:00

So for today I decided to go with a sweet doll kind of look. So these are the pictures for my make up, I'm sorry if they are a bit too shiny, my camera isn't all that amazing.

(Down Below) This is one of my most favorite lip glosses to use, It's called Express although I don't exactly know what or where it was from, I got it as a gift from my mother in law. It works really well but your lips will feel a bit dry if you don't put something beneath it like lip balm or something similar. I'm not exactly sure of the price for it but I'm sure it doesn't cost more than 4 dollars hopefully.

I used Volume enhancing mascara as shown in the picture below.

The brand isMaybelline 'the Colossal Volume Express' And I personally think it's amazing for those who don't have long lashes and also don't like putting on false eyelashes. Within at least 2 brushes my eyelashes were huuge! And they looked very thick, Adorable if almost.

The last thing I used happened to be a pencil eyeliner from Rimmel, It was Noir colored and has a smudge tip at the end, It's amazingly good and doesn't hurt your eyes like liquid eyeliner happens to do if it accidentally seeps into your eyes. It was moderately priced, about 5 dollars or so for it.

And my end result.....

Something important that I missed out on happened to be my foundation. It was about 3-4 dollars at Wal-Mart. Moderately cheap but the end result is amazing, I got it around my skin tone although it seemed a lot lighter than I normally happen to be. But it gave me a very desired effect and I enjoyed the way I looked for the day. My hair was also straightened since I wasn't sure if I was supposed to Curl it up. But tomorrow I might go for a more extreme look, it all depends.

Thank you for reading, And I promise to put something up tomorrow.

読んでくれてありがとう、そして、私は明日に何かを置くことを約束します。

The day I have taken on this new unbearable style of adorable!
And I shall keep my blog updated about everything mostly pertaining.
I am excited, that I chose to follow this when I know how much I've always adored and wanted to try it for myself.
It just seemed kind of odd that I chose today of all other days to do this but in the same I feel slightly joyous.
I will keep up with learning more and more japanese!
And also I'll make sure to do my best as a gal.
Give me luck everyone!
