So the days are dwindling... there's only 4 more days left until the Harry Potter Exhibition is OVER. Thank GOD. It has been a long 5 months of working there and I'm having mixed feelings about it ending. But overall I'm relieved. Tourism is a weird industry and I don't know if I could ever do it for a living... people are too stressful. Tourists are usually twice as bad.

Unfortunately I set myself up for suicide... because today was the first day of a 7-8 day schedule. Straight. 7-8 hours. on my feet. for the next 7-8 days. If needed, it will be longer. I don't even. I'm hoping that my knees won't decide to just completely explode on one of my shifts... but knowing my weaknesses, I'm sure it will e__e

In any case I'll be toughing it out-- I just gotta keep thinking of the $$... and the hilariously epic drinking party with my co-workers that's going to happen on the last night. Pray for me that I'll be able to live through it...




Other than the inevitable end of my job, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's NYC concert is also in less than two weeks, and I'm anxious to get paid on Friday so I can finally get my outfit together!

I've planned my outfit months ago, and I'm pretty excited to finally get it all together. I'm just hoping that everything comes on time.



I created this when my friend Susan first told me she'd get my favorite Luna backpack for my birthday~ and now I'm bringing it to life for the Kyary concert. How did I figure to do a Sailor Moon-themed outfit for Kyary? No clue. But I felt this was colorful and cute and casual enough for it. LOL

So far I got the shorts and the tights so far... I'm assuming the backpack will be on it's way this week~ the galaxy top I actually found on Taobao for super cheap, and I'm trying to get that package to arrive in time e_e Mostly everything else I think I can pretty much get locally and/or handmake so it's only a matter of time...

I also considered tinting my hair purple as well~ but my sister is going out of town next week and I don't trust myself with bleach OR dye lolo... so we'll see what happens. Either way I'm going to do the cat-ears hairstyle.

Just... everything is going to be super cute and fun. I can't wait to see Kyary perform (even though I only really like her music because of Nakata Yasutaka... Kyary can't really sing imo) and to be with my friends having a really good time.

I'm just looking towards this entire month. Now that I'll be slipping into some downtime I'll be able to get a lot of my personal things out of the way... like my medical issues, my medical BILLING issues e___e (Downstate Hospital... sigh), seeing how much I'll be getting from unemployment while I'll be trying to relax the rest of the year, possibly getting surgery work done, etc... as well as getting back on track spiritually and preparing for my second Guyana trip and prayerfully my first trip to Tokyo (and possibly Taipei!).


Also a special shoutout to my recent subscribers ; w; Thank you for following~♥ I hope to get a new camera and once I hit 150 GFC subscribers (3 people away!) I'll finally host my first blog giveaway. Just got to get a couple more things :U

Yeah... yeah. This mook didn't even take two weeks to get to me.

This is just a random preview on some of the pages that are in this mook~ unfortunately due to my schedule and lack of good hardware, I won't be making actual scans of this magazine.

When I first requested this mook from Kinokuniya I had to think to myself.. like, how more in depth can they get? Any reader of the Ageha-branded magazines would know that the issues already go super detailed as far as makeup points and whatnot.

As soon as I received it, however, I had to literally stop what I was doing.

If you too, think that they couldn't get any more in depth, just get this book and wait for it.



When you first open and flip through the first few pages, you'll see a few familiar faces, but one girl in particular shocked me-- Midori Fukasawa. If you don't know her, she's a very popular lolita model~ and she's in this magazine displaying some of her own makeup styles. So this book isn't only for the hime/gal audience, but general cute makeup for Japanese eyes.

Part of the book is split into 8 different parts-- "Gal", "Girly Girl/Gal", "Princess", "Foreigner", "Cat Eye", "Office Lady", "Akameji", and "Natural". It touches up on eyelid shaping (using fiber/eyelid glue/tape/etc), eyelining and different shadow looks, it breaks down lashes (like... legit having almost all the popular lash brands displayed so you can see how each of them look)... CIRCLE LENSES... like this book really, -really- goes in. If you're into trying out all the different eye shapes and whatnot, you will have fun with this seriously.

Since my images are not in order at all, I'm just going to post a spam~ There's not much for me to talk about since my Japanese is really limited and I haven't seriously observed every single picture and diagram in this book. But I'm telling you, it's amazing.
