Culture Talk, Cooking and Hair

Hey gals! Im going to start off talking about the Culture Talk last night. It went so damn well! There was roughly the same amount of people there, and the same amount of HIB members again this time but the added laptop with a small slideshow of photos, and some stuff about Gal, aslwel as a small ParaPara demonstration really made it so much better! The problems we faced were that the manager of the S&L is new and is DUMB AS HELL. So we weren't able to connect the laptop to any of the TV screens around the bar, but in the end, it wouldn't have been worth it because we only showed the slideshow and then put on random DVDs of Mezamashi TV and BBC and Para DVDs for people to see. We also played the Para track out of the laptop and it was quite loud, so it was fine! (Plus I wasn't about to try and electrocute myself, and neither was Niijii by trying to find where we could connect the TV so)

PResent were myself, Niijii, Caryn, and NEW Hibiscgyaru member, Floz~ We inducted her into the circle last night. Its funny because we had a microphone and I said "we've just induced her tonight!" .... Ive been watching too much of 16 & Pregnant on MTV haha. After the talk was over, we got lots of interest from everyone and this time there were more Japanese people so they were really interested in the Mezamashi TV thing and kept taking pictures with us saying "you guys are so famous! we're taking pictures with celebrities!!!" haha. And we also did some makeovers! Niijii gave this really funny short man a manba makeover hahaha and Floz gave two girls a makeover too~ She's perfect!!! Unni was also here and spoke and apologised to me ollowing on from the recent events with hIB, so im glad :) still don't like dryboy though, sorry girl!

Heres some photos and videos from last night's makeover:

Our man before
During! Look at his face in left photo!


After! He's a happy bunny! He actually really didn't mind it being done, so he gets kudos for that!






So the next part of my blog, hair! I know I have titles it cooking and then hair, but w.e : D

I again played around with my hair piece last night and did have a different style planned out but in the end didn't use it because I wasn't so sure about it, but from that, ive got some photos and a video explaining how I do my hair with the hairpiece~

dundundun

Hello.....
Im here again!

Sorry for the lack of posting guys! Due to the recent events surrounding HIB and myself, I decided I didn't want to post anything/talk to anyone involved with what was going on, but thankfully, all this shit has been sorted now. With regards to the even more recent happenings (i.e. EILISH NEEDS TO DIE ETC ETC - lolage), I laughed so much! But I did go about reporting to the police and giving names to the police also :)

BESIDES FROM THIS CHILDISH BEHAVIOUR

The weekend was a little bit awkward, but again, it was solved. I tried a new hairstyle out today. Ive been envying Valentine from Diamond's hair for a while and whilst waiting for Destiny to arrive, I played about with Incontience, a ponytail piece I currently have. She's like, the quickest hairstyle ever! Tye your hair up in a small bun, put her over the top, tie the drawstring tight, clip it away and you're done. Max like 2 mins or less for a hairstyle???!! I had wanted to try over the side hair because it looks fab and looks pretty sexy too, so I did some inventing and came up with this with the help of Incontinence for the weekend:


Before coming to LDN~ looks a bit crap from this angle...hmm


Out


Home again. Greasy face yay!!!!. Hair had fallen (real hair) after curling it in the morning because it rained while out but nevermind!

Have a closeup!

: D

It was my mom's bdae on the same day, so after we got stuff done, we headed over to Covent Garden and I picked up some Candy Cakes. Photos stolen from Emmie :)

Also popped into Shu Uemura and picked up the corner lashes with the stars that Mitsu blogged about here , and if they turn out to be as fab as my MAC #7 lashes, then our relationship will be solid! I got addicted to Gilfy and GOLDS while I was in Japan, I just didn't have the cash to buy everything! (Plus there wasn't really loads I wanted) so Id love to incorporate more Gilfy style into my life (maybe minus short hair lol) Haven't tried them out yet, but here are pics I took; sorry for bad quality! Took at night and the flash made it look bad:


They're blue with small silver stars. The right pic makes them look black (w/out flash)

My life so far!

Tomorrow is the Gyaru Culture Talk (2) at the weekly Kyoto Event in London. NOT PREPARED AT ALL LOL. Ah well. Come along if you can!

Venue: Slug & Lettuce Leicester Square
Time: 7PM - 11PM (the talk will probably start around 8-8:30)

General ranting

This blog is full of annoyed Koneko-ness so im warning you now!

2010 doesn't seem to have started very well to be honest. Its only been 2 months into the new year and already its been filled with stupid, pretty drama and arguments (one of which I have already owned up to for starting and I managed to stop it), and just general shittiness.

First of all, HIBISCGYARU. Since the meeting that we had in January, the attitude of everyone seems to have really changed and its strange and in a way seems like everyone really dislikes me. I put in so much work and it always seems to get thrown back in my face without a thanks or anything at all. I know there are people who do appreciate what I do, but others don't or just hide it and it makes me wonder why I even bother sometimes. I know I can be a pretty strong-willed person and that some of the things I say come across as really horrible and nasty, but ive never denied being a bitch. Im not going to say something and then lie and say I didn't say it. Im owning up to being a bitch and if you get in my line of fire, its not on purpose, but more a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I can snap at small things and I can hold grudges. I once wouldn't speak to a girl who is now my best friend for 2 whole years. We used to be really good friends and then she lied to me about loads of stuff so I couldn't trust her and then she got dragged up to Essex by my ex boyfriend, who she was also dating at the time but lied about it, and was forced to become an adult at 14. It was the bf saying loads of stuff to her to make her think that she had no friends and that but she did stuff to me which wasn't right either, so I refused to talk to her. I hate it when people get the bad end of the stick from me and assume everyone from HIB is the same as me. Im just the leader, or should I say, president of the Galcir (now), so I will defend it at all costs! And whatever I do to defend it is what I shall do, regardless!

But what still gets to me is that there are girls in the circle that are soooo fake! Girls that say im wrong for saying something bitchy about one person and then saying loads of shit about them 2 minutes later, and THEN being all nice to the person they've been a bitch about! It's not on! Also, because of the new rules and things that are being introduced, theres definitely a different air about everyone, but what I don't understand is that everyone agreed on them, so its not like im dictating something and saying everyone has to follow it! Ffs!

THIS IS HOW I FEEL





Secondly; I keep thinking more and more about Japan and its driving me as crazy as I look in the above picture, so I figure I might have to do something about it before I kill someone or something like that. Me and my girl Nij were originally planning in the very very beginning, which is like 2 years ago now (!), to go on the Working Holiday Visa for a year in December 2008, but after doing lots of research for places to live and jobs etc, we didn't. We then though "well, let's go on it NEXT December!" and that was of course, 2009, and what did we do? Go for a 2 week holiday instead...lol. And now, it being 2010, our thoughts are going out to doing the same thing again, but this time ACTUALLY going through with the plan. This time however, we are thinking of going in September. I don't know why, but it just seems a good time. There are several things stopping us though;

Niijii's problems:
1. No job, so therefore no financial backing to go ahead and do this, even if it's 6 months away
2. He's unsure of his future, and what he would want to do in Japan as a job
3. He's just started doing Nail/Makeup/Hair training at the salon where I got my nails done and is being offered a course for free sometime during the year (and the courses are hell expensive!) but won't be able to just get up and leave because the woman doing the training won't be happy, and he would have to try and find ways to pay for the course himself at some other point which might be too difficult
4. If he doesn't go to Japan this year and carries on with the training and actually goes through with doing the course, he's scared he might not want to go back to Japan any other time because he won't be interested in it in the same ways as he is now, and that he will miss out on things he could have done at his age/point in his life now

Koneko's problems:
1. Job. I already mentioned about me having to look for another job, and although im looking now, if I don't apply for something, I could possibly be kicked out of my current job before September so its risky not to get into another job before this happens
2. Bad saving habits. The reason I was able to go last time was due to all of my emergency taxes that had been taken from me for the past 2 years were refunded back to me in one lump sum from the two jobs I had been working, so that was loads (over £1000) and I also had money stored away in another account. I do have an ISA, but the money in there is for a set amount of time, and even though it's my money and my account, I don't have any access to it :s and my parents don't want me to just take it out and be done with it. Plus, you can only take out the whole thing in one go, not bits at a time. But dude, I have £3000 in there!!!!!!!!!!!!! £3000 for potential places to live/shopping at 109!
3. My partner. I have only been with him for roughly 9 months now (on the 27th this month), but I know id be making a big mistake if I went away and he wanted to end things. I really can't see myself with anyone else at this current point in time and id hate to throw everything away, but its difficult because Ive wanted to go and live in Japan for the year way before I met him (as mentioned above), so if I didn't go, it would be a selfish decision to myself. I spoke to him about it before and he understands that its something I want to do and won't really have much of an opportunity to do again if I don't just take the chance, and said he will wait for me, so that we can still be together even if im in another country for a long time, but I don't want to stop him from what he wants to do, and he doesn't want to stop me....He's the best thing that's ever happened to me, so you can probably understand why I really don't want to let him go, I mean, it would be a waste! I support him, and I know he supports me, but its a big thing to ask of someone....;'( 


Apart from these big issues. I also need/want a half wig. Prisila preferably, but ALAS they don't do it in my hoe bleach blonde #613 colour :z There are some classy ones I have found on the net:

£56.99. My colour, and a lot looser than the above, but still like it


£35. My color, AND classin as hell!

I might go for the last one...What do you guys think?
