back to reality

Hello everyone! Gah, i've been so annoyed with my blog over the weekend but it's working again now! Some rogue HTML found it's way into my blog and it didn't make any sense! But it's been fixed, so the last blog is now complete again for you to read lol!

(By the way, by rogue, I don't mean rogue virus, I mean crafty little bugger!)

It's the start of a new week once again, and it's really getting close to Christmas! Usually I wouldn't really care. I mean, this time last year I was nearly going to Japan for the first time! I can't tell you how weird it feels for me not to be going again around this same time :( I've been reminiscing about Japan recently and i've been feeling really down. At Cyberdog, we sell 6% dokidoki products, and the manager asked me to send an email to Sebastian for a new order last week, and that made me miss Japan. The same day, 2 Japanese girls came into the store and I asked them if they needed any help or anything at all and they were so stunned that I was speaking to them in Japanese! That made me miss Japan even more. Okay, so i'm not fluent or anything, but I really enjoy being able to practise the Japanese I know with Japanese people, and when I was there in October, I really got a chance to improve my speaking skills with everyone, everyday, and that's what really hit home the other day. I really want to go back :(

Aside from that and going back to XMas, i've managed to buy all the gifts for my family before everyone starts to panic buy! I feel proud! This year i've put in a lot of effort, mainly because last year I wasn't able to really get my family anything, due to going away to Tokyo a few days later. I got a really neat gift for my Mom, and I really hope she'll like it. We don't have the best relationship in the world but there are always opportunities to make it stronger. I'm not saying that giving gifts is the best way to do so, although it's a nice little surprise! Currently all the gifts are sitting in two large Cyberdog bags in my room, lol! To break up this post, here's a few puri I took at the end of last week~

It's trueeeeeeeeeeee

I finally managed to bloody buy egg! I went to the JC nearly everyday after work and they didn't have it, and the one day I didn't go, they had stocked it! I'm glad to see that fur tails and fur in general is still in fashion ;D

Here's a boob(ish) one for you all

As some of you may know, here at my blog I have mentioned a few things about myself. One in particular being my girl-crush on James Marsters; i.e. Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. In case you haven't seen this glorious programme and are not sure who he is, or if, like me, you just want to view a bit of Vampire hotness, please view the pictures below:

Dude seriously, if my photoshop skills were great, I would SO photoshop my head into this!

HAHA. Unfortunately, only "Buffy" Spike is hot. James Marsters in the present day doesn't really cut it for me...most older men don't really have that kind of effect haha. Anyway, I had another dream about him again...and for some reason Angel; i.e. David Boreanaz; was there too? Let's just say...it was awesome ;D...

This evening, Cyberdog had a Christmas meal for all the staff. I still haven't really spoken to everyone properly, but needless to say, I didn't really this time either lol! I did manage to speak to a few more girls properly which was nice! I really want to go out with them for a drink because they seem so fun to be around! Some of the guys were taking photos and I was desperate not to be in them and so I ended up leaving really hastily and probably looked quite rude but they were being sneaky and mean and it was stupid lol! I told them that if they put any of me on Facebook, i'll report them. I'm serious! I'm kind of nervous too, because my manager asked me to do a deco case for her BlackBerry! SCARY!!!!! I don't want to fuck it up lol!

happy buh-stay

Hello! Today it's my birthday! I'm officially an adult, 20 years old~ It feels so strange! I feel like I can act out and stuff and blame it on being a teenager haha! Im going out with my boyfriend tonight, but im not sure where! He was supposed to come over earlier on but he hasn't materialised just yet :pHe just turned up!

I completely forgot that im doing a Para Para demo at the Entertainment Media Show tomorrow! Lol...
I think I might actually talk about Para as we've never done that properly done that at any event we've done, and I might show some techpara too! I'll be doing it all alone too...for 30 mins lol! One of the plus sides to this event is that Mercedes McNab, aka Harmony from BUFFY THE BLOODY VAMPIRE SLAYER will be there! SO want to meet her haha! She got it on with Spike after all ;) AND she was classy in Playboy too! even more reason to admire her! Downside? I have to pay £15 to "meet" her officially and then ANOTHER £15 for an autograph! :z Maybe I can get performer/staff discount...

HE'S MINE BITCH

 

Ah well, i'll try my best, wish me luck! I'll post photos of later on...later on!

an interesting day

How many of you have ever suffered from a shitty day? Most of us right? I swear, I seem to be affected by them SO MUCH.

Yesterday when I was leaving my man's house, the bus I was on got shot at. What the fuck!!!!
The plexiglass in the window made such a huge popping noise and it was all shattered, and you could see where the window had been aimed at...it was so weird, and not to mention freaky! My sister gets on that bus after school....like, imagine if it had gone right THROUGH the window and she had been on it...thats way to horrible to think about. I mean, I know I said before about my town not being that great, don't get my wrong, I don't live in the ghetto where people are living in fear or anything, but there are nasty people here, I mean, there was a drive by shootout down the road and the whole place got closed off, it was like the apocalypse...

I NEED TO GET OUT WHILE I STILL CAN!!!!!!!

I had to get off the bus and get on another one ¬_¬ and I had to pay twice. Dude.

Later on when I was going to my Japanese tutor (yeah, I need to SERIOUSLY think about that now), an ATM decided it would be funny to take my card and then switch off. Great. THANKS A LOT! After entering my PIN, everything froze, so I couldn't select any kind of service, so I kept pressing "cancel" to get my card back, and the whole ATM decides its not going to have any of it. I didn't realise, but although its like a machine, its run by like, Windows XP??? wth? Yeah, so it rebooted itself and declared itself "out of use" but then was "working" after it completed its reboot, and still didn't give me my card back! I waited for half an hour in the cold and rain (its supposed to be June isn't it???) for it to do nothing!

My telephone conversation with the bank was rather amusing, not to mention, ANNOYING;

Bank: Hello, has your card been lost or stolen?
Me: An ATM has decided to eat it
B: Oh right, okay. Now, do you have your account details with you?
M:... The ATM has STOLEN my card with my DETAILS on it
B: Oh right...let me take your full name and home details then

[after giving her my details]

B: Im not finding anything on our system, are you sure you're a customer?
M:...If I wasn't a customer why would I be calling up to say that one of YOUR cards has been LOST inside one of YOUR machines?!
B: Oh right...Are you certain you have an account with us? Because im not finding anything here
M: Are you having a laugh?
B: No im not actually
M: Well neither am I!
B: You're going to have to call us up later with your details at hand and we can help you then. Are you close to home at the moment?
M: I won't be there for another 2-3 hours at least....
B: Oh right...Well, theres not much I can do now, and besides, the ATM will have destroyed your card so you don't need to worry
M:!!!! Destroyed it?? WHY, THAT IS SOOO DUMB
B:....Well, a lot of the new machines tend to do that
M: So if I walk off, its not going to spit the card out at someone else?
B: No
M: Well, good then
B: Yes...
M: So how long until I can get a new card?
B: Around 7-10 working days
M: Oh you;re having a LAUGH
B:....okay
M: Right well, cheers then
B: Is there anything else I can help you with?
M: ...NO

SHE DIDN'T BLOODY HELP ME AT ALL!
Thank GOD ive still got my old cashcard account, so I can at least use that until my new card comes. But its just so annoying because I have to cancel all my eBay and stuff like that, and ive just done a new payment for something so ill have to cancel that now too..grrr!

Im going to eat some penguin bars and...make Buffy characters on the Sims 3...and...play Harvest Moon!!!!
: D

Internet dreaming

While I work on a fake tan review (AND LOTS OF OTHER POSTS IVE SAID ILL DO!!), im bringing you a blog about the weird and wonderful world of the Internet and also of dreaming. (LONG BLOG AHEAD! DON'T READ IF YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO READ LOTS. THERES A TOPLESS MAN HALFWAY THROUGH THOUGH)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ill start with Dreams. I wrote about dreams for an English paper when I was in 6th form, but my teacher didn't find it very amusing...so...whatever! I think dreams are so odd, but kind of cool at the same time. I dream an awful lot, and I don't usually have normal dreams. But what are normal dreams? I guess where something good happens and there's a happy ending? Or just a usual situation, like going to a store, or going to the park or something!

My dreams consist of things that just don't make any sense. I could be somewhere like, say, another country that ive been to before, and I know its that country or place, but it looks nothing like it, and its odd! I also tend to dream about things that ive seen throughout the day, and have more than one dream a night. For example, here are my dreams from last night, which don't make any sense:

Dream 1 (short because I was woken up by my boyfriend rolling me over to the other side of the bed): Im at a fashion show, and designers like Chanel and D&G are sending their models out without shoes...BUT; the shoes are painted on their legs...really elaborately, like really well done, and they are colours like purples, pinks, blues, violet, all kinds of baby colours, with crystals and stuff all over them! And I am saying to myself "oh my god..this is the next biggest fashion movement and I seem to be the only one who knows about it!" (because its only in my dream where only I cans ee it if you get me lol) and I am saying to myself that I must blog about it because the designers will see it and say "GENIUS".

WTF IS THAT! THE FACT THAT I DREAM ABOUT BLOGGING SOMETHING TOO? haha!

Dream 2: I am in some weird mushroom, fairytale land, and its like green, purple and blue-ish colours, think Alice in Wonderland style, but theres a city there? With a university and houses and stuff, and I have my own flat, but when I look at it from the outside, like a voyeur, my place of living looks like a Polly Pocket house or something, and the inside looks like a hotel room with a mini kitchen inside. My house looks like a face? A weird face with green skin, purple hair and white eyes..haha! Anyway. I meet up with my friend and somehow it suddenly switches to nighttime and ive been turned into a vampire...? Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is there..just hanging out with us, as he does...what?
And its just like, hit me that im not human anymore, and im trying to hide the fact that im a vampire, but I keep seeing all these pointed objects, not even stakes and its creeping me out, I mean, I know im immortal, but if people know im a vampire, im won't be immortal for very long! Spike is looking through a book or something, and aparently we know what the future is going to be like already (although its not like year 3000, its like year 1510 or something weird :z:z) and im like "well, thats cool because im immortal!!!" and I think Spike has already caught on that im a vampire and he's like "you're a vampire??" and im like oh shit.."yeah".

Then he gives me his flat...okay, and we end up going out, but he lives in my like, weird polly pocket flat which is girly on the inside so I kind of realise, like what the fuck, why don't I just go back to my own place....And I get a friend to help me take stuff to my "new" flat, and he says "okay...whats with the colour?" because the door is black and red, and I say "oh, its my brother's flat", trying to pass it off...and then I call Spike to get him to bring my stuff over, like posters and that and then my boyfriend wakes me up in real life again, and when I go back to sleep my dream carries on (a lot of people are like woah!! at that) and im now in bed with Spike HAHAHA and I have three boobs...right okay, and he's saying "I need you to help me be a good guy, because everyone thinks im bad, but you're good, you need to help me" and thats it....

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK MAN. Its funny though, because Spike acts and speaks with the same voice as my boyfriend so its not really like im...cheating? haha! He laughed when I told him anyway..But ladies..come on!

But do you see what I mean? Im crazy! This happens on a regular basis! I swear, I could write a novel, or bloody fan fiction or something! The last dream was influenced by the Chaos Bleeds video game, and the future (although its not really) is influenced by an advert I saw on TV for "Apocalypse week"

Now that ive scared you away from my blog forever, id like to bring you some interesting and funny finds from the internet:

1: Lady Gaga X Barbie

Now I know what you're thinking...Mattel is actually allowing this collaboration? With all her crazy antics and outfits? No way! Although I did see some classy Barbies in Kiddy Land in Harajuku! No, in fact, someone has gone out of their way to customise Barbie and make her just like Gaga! Im not a huge fan of Gaga myself because although she has all this "individuality", a lot of her outfits and such are taken and/or inspired from others from long before her....But yes:

For more photos, visit the Flickr!

2. Okay, so its kind of old, and a lot of music spoofs are done all the time, but if you still haven't seen them, then check out The Midnight Beast. They've done a few song parodies and make up their own stuff, and they're FUCKING HILARIOUS! Even Ke$ha was impressed with their parody of her song, Tik Tok

Sources: my fucked up brain, youtube, flickr, google, a blogspot somewhere....you know :)

Thank goodness...

As promised...

So on Monday night I went out for a meal to the ever classic TGI Friday's. Kind of funny that I went on a Monday huh? I was just thinking and its kind of funny...I went to the Leicester Square one with my boyfriend, and it struck me that 2 years ago I went to that one for the first time when I first got into Gal and had just made HIBISCGYARU. I went back to the same one last year when I was more into gyaru, and ive just gone again now that I consider myself a fully fledged gal! And all around the same time! May/June! WEIRD!

Each Friday's is basically the same, loud decor and the same for the music, although the L.Sq restaurant had funny music that would either start slow and then resume to the correct beat and timing of the song, or the other way round and start of really fast. We listened to Fall Out Boy too slow and Beyonce way too fast...hmm...sort your DJ out! I used to go to Friday's in Kingston quite a lot for my friend's birthdays, which was fun. We would have £20 which we would spend as little as we could on food, and the rest on cocktails even though we were underage. And the nights we went when it wasn't someone's birthday, we would pretend it was just to get the free dessert! Wiiiild...not! haha! But I loved those times! I have to say though; their cocktails are pretty gorgeous, especially the Gremlin, so who wouldn't want to go all out and get ultimate size in everything?

My personal food favourites from there include anything with their fabulous Jack Daniels glaze, or side sauce. YUM! Although, it does get a little sickly after a while of dipping and stuff. NOW TO SHOW YOU SOME FOOD AND MAKE Y'ALL HUNGRY! But while looking back, im now really hungry too...gah!

Menu...and a slightly better photo of the Gremlin

FAB starter. Chicken strips with sesame Jack Daniels dipping sauce!

Main...Jack Daniels big burger mess of a thing...looks GROSS but was TASTY!

Going back to Cavewoman roots!

Oh, and this is funny; I asked our waiter (well..waitress lol) if I could take a photo..."Hi! I write a blog and I was wondering if I could take your photo : D"

Their uniform is cuuuuuute! They have lots of random pin badges and stuff! He didn't have as much as others, but aww! He said I have to fill out his satisfaction survey (what I used to get customers to do when I was a waitress) because he agreed to let me have a photo lol

On other things, I will be deco-ing my new phone once I get the upgrade! Im stuck at phone right now though....kind of half resting on either a new blackberry or something else...hmm!

Anna Sui style! (except for pink random stuff on bottom right....that as a free gift) I need to get lots more though! More nail varnish bottles, and more gems! I also got Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds for Gamecube haha! I started playing today and its so cool! You can do the same thing she does in the program; beat the shit out of them and then quickly stake them! Class! And it only cost me £5 : D

Ill be doing a mini review for fake tans soon!

Good Friday and the Easter weekend

Happy Easter holidays guys!

It sucks, its my bloody 6 day weekend (5 now that its Friday) and I have nout to do! Yesterday I saw my man, but he only stayed a little bit because he went out to see his friends. I stayed up watching OutKast videos and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.....; D

My Friday nights are so dry now! I never do anything :( I remember going out all the time...and now I don't. Which I guess is good for my purse, but it gets boring! And then the weekend is overrrrrrr

Oh! And to update you on the job front - that telephone interview I had for the lifestyle place...the woman was so unreliable and unprofessional, my god. She never contacted me on Monday or Tuesday, and when I emailied her on Wednesday to share my annoyance and such, she said she would contact me at 5:15 that evening. Come 5:15 and nothing! She didn't get round to calling me 'til yesterday at like 2:30 and I didn't get the job anyway; she sent me an email saying that they were "impressed" with me, but oter candidates were "exceptionally better" ... haha. The meeting with the recruitment agency for the Tolworth Tower job went well. I was late though, but only because I got lost! The guy said that they need to stop giving out the directions they send out because they're wrong :z .... the interview itself will take place around the 19th April, so I hope to god I get something..

My computer's internet won't work, so im using my dad's old laptop which he gave to us a couple years back and I subsequently smashed the screen internally whilst playing Tomb Raider so it was a little "out of action" for a while. It also has no "H" key, just a button where the thing used to be. Its very annoying. The internet won't work on the computer, but it will on this laptop so its like wth is going on. All my pictures etc etc are stored on there so I have to resort to using Memory USB if I really want something. There is also no proper language packs as its only Windows 2000 or XP or something so Ive installed the JP ones, but I still can't type in Japanese, only copy and paste, so that makes things a little more annoying.

I must say, I really am liking the new member of HIBISCGYARU, Floz. She's so down to earth and sweet! We all had a great time last weekend trotting around Selfridges and then having a really long, but good, talk in Macdonalds~ I also want to answer more questions!!!!!!
Formspring meeeeeeeeeee
