the time draws near

Hello!

I hope everyone is having/has had an awesome weekend so far! Mine has been rather chilled I must say. Yesterday (Saturday) I met up with Caryn and Nij to do some practise for the Japanese Art Festival, which is only in a couple of weeks time! Me and Caryn met up beforehand and we kept getting stopped by really weird people! Some guy stopped us on the way to Japan Centre and was like "wow you guys look amazing, but I like your shoes better and this top even better" and we're like wtf. And he was like "why do you dress this way?" etc etc etc we didn't even look that amazing...lol! But back to the JAF, it looks like it will be good, so come on down if you happen to like Japanese stuff and are in London:

Japanese Art Festival
Saturday 21st August 2010
Sunday 22nd August 2010
http://www.japaneseartfestival.com/

They're going to have the legendary 6%tokodoki there! As well as lots of other stuff. Another event im also looking forward to, which is in October, is Hyper Japan!

I think I mentioned before but we were approached by the organisers of the event to help out with some Para Para on-stage and I think to also take part in the Street Fashion show! Its such a short time space because October 3rd is the date that I fly out to Japan, so im going to have my hair done on Friday 1st, go to this event the next day (2nd) then rush home to finish packing! Its mad!

But I am reaaaaaaally looking forward to it! And also to my holiday with my man in September! Jeez...thats actually really close now too haha! Luckily I don't really have any worries about funding and stuff now as I closed a couple of accounts that I didn't need anymore and its been tucked away until I really need it.

Im going to use the video feature on here to show you some videos that I have on my PC that never seem to go anywhere lol:

These last 2 weeks we've had builders in the house ripping out the kitchen wall and plastering and putting in insulation and stuff and it just looks dire right now! I hate the way the downstairs part of my house, and also how my bedroom looks :( Plus, I had one wall plastered where they put in insulation and it looks so much better and then they ruined it by putting skirting board over it! So now when it comes time to paint it, its going to look so bloody stupid! Ill just get my bf to rip it out LOL

Here are some photos from the past week or so

mmmm Chiquito's!

I went to A&E last week....whilst at work....great!

And me and Caryn's purikura:

My fringe went all funny because of the rain :z

I saw a girl on BNTM (which is SHIT) that wanted to leave and she was like "can I just say, its not for me" and she like, walked off! lol...

And BENI who helps to present Tokyo Kawaii TV also has a singing career but id never actually listened to her songs before. She's pretty good!

This is a good take on an already good song!

Ciao!

...sigh

This sucks. Bad.

Right now I should be in Amsterdam, it nearly being time for the rest of the girls to turn up so I can meet everyone...but no..im at home....

Unfortunately I missed my flight this morning, and im in such an awful mood. Earlier I just wanted to cry and throw everything on the floor and for my Dad to just appear out of nowhere and help me out, but alas, nope. Im independent and I have good time keeping and all that shit, but this just SUCKS MAN.

I got to the Airport with 1hr15 before my flight departed, and about 45 mins before my departure gate closed, and because I didn't have any bags to put on the plane and because I checked in online, I just went through to security. I didn't beep, and my liquids in my plastic bag were fine (which I fretted over all night) but they seized my silver spikey-stud bracelet.

And said "you can't take this, it looks like a weapon". ITS MADE OF PLASTIC! To try and "prove" a point, the guy like, massaged his palm with it and said "yeah, see, when I do this....to my hand....oh" YEAH, FAIL. And they kept telling me that I was going to harm people! Wtf! I have no intention of anything like that, and that doesn't even pop into my mind when I look at that bracelet! The guy said I could either post it home or put it into lost baggage, and then said "by the way, you have 10 minutes to get on your flight"...thanks a lot man.... So I went back through security (not checks) and put it in lost baggage to pick up tomorrow (Sunday) when I came back through and then I went back and had to be re-checked at security AGAIN, and someone in front of me beeped but they thought it was me so I had to be all touched and shit by some gross woman! Wtf!

Yeah, so im also going TO PISS MYSELF and I run out to see that my flight is going from gate 2...okay , so I jump on the trainy type thing that takes you from different gates and go to gate 2 to find out that my flight isn't leaving from there.......!!! WHAT THE FUCK. Luckily, 2 others had also seen the computer screen and we were told a security personel would take us to the aircraft, bearing in mind that the gate has now closed and that the flight goes in 25 minutes.... The guy turns up 20 minutes later, we get to the gate with 2 minutes until the flight leaves and EVEN THOUGH there are people boarding the aircraft and still walking up to it, the pricks refuse to let us on.

The next flight for me after that was 17:00 tomorrow....or I could have gone to Dussledorf at 10:55 this morning but that would have cost me £100 just to "change the flight details on your boarding details", even though a flight costs like £30! Doesn't make any sense! I tell you, the guys at the desks just sit there for entertainment value or something because they can't even answer anything you ask them! Oh, and my bracelet? I had to pay for a DAY's stay in the lost baggage even though it was there for 1hr30....

Im sorry girls...I hope you all have a great time this weekend :(

End of HIBISCGYARU

Hello everyone, this post marks the end of HIBISCGYARU


Since the beginning of the year, theres been a clear problem with drama and friendships and lots of stuff and theres always been a funny tension in the air since that. HIBISCGYARU has always been a blast and its been great to get to know everyone and to meet all the people that have passed through over the past 2 years but I feel that due to recent events and old things, its time for the circle to close.

The circle isn't closing because of one particular thing, its just the time for HIB to fade out. HIB has always been something different to everyone and in the end, it hasn't all really gone to plan or turned out the way it could have done. Everyone knows that all the members are good people and kind and yes there is the two friendship groups, and yes, obviously I have a bad attitude about certain issues and people, but thats always going to be just my opinion and ive never meaned to involve the circle in my ranting and raving in anyway.

I don't want people to see HIB as another BOOTEEK as we all know that's not the case, id just rather people actually respected the circle and its members as real people, rather than just bitches on the net (which is mainly due to me, yes I don't mind taking that blame) but I hope you can see where im coming from.

Im not sure what will happen after this, but ive never had such an amazing time in my life since meeting everybody, and meeting new people has actually boostd my confidence (maybe a little bit too much) but I think its made me a better person in the long run

Thank you all~

p.s. this DOESN'T mean the end of the strongest uk girls....HIBISCGYARU will ALWAYS be known as number 1 and the strongest

bloggies

Here I am! I told you I would return >; D

I noticed this yesterday but am posting it today...why doesn't she just dye all of her hair blonde again???! I miss crazy brown and extreme makeup Aina! You're letting the side down girl!

So yesterday I wrote about the blog award I was given by Aki, and im here today to write the blogs that I think deserve this award!

1. Claire; Oh So Glam - I really love her Galspiration posts! And im impressed that she's getting more into Gal all the time! Nice one! I also realised that she gave me a blog award a little while ago but I didn't know how it worked so I never mentioned it! Sorry girl! >.<

2. Mitsu; Universal Doll - She needs an award! Her blog posts are always so helpful, and I can definitely feel really confident when I go to Japan knowing how to do more stuff without feeling really touristy and fangirly!

3. Sara; Moments Like Diamonds - Her photos from Japan are really fantastic, and it feels like im kind of there, as I never really got to see much of the country when I was there. Her co-ordinate posts inspire me to make some of my own!

4. Julia; Malibu Stacy Blog - Her photo spams are EXCELLENT! I love seeing the new things she has bought (with envy) and seeing all the fun gals she gets to hang out with!

Of course there are other blogs that stand out to me, so if you didn't see your name up here, its not because I don't like what you post! These blogs stand out to me the most at this time and I can't wait to see more from them!
