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!

IM BACK

Hellohellohello!

Guess who's back in the....okay ive returned..you get the point.

Im so sorry ive left you all alone for so long! But I have been sneakily reading other blogs and tweaking my own whilst ive been away. You may have noticed that my blog now has 3 columns and is slightly thinner than before, so you may get loooooong blog posts from me showing all the random crap that I fill them with.

My last blog post was a short outburst at the Gal Secrets, the Burn Book of the Western Gal Community. Its actually more like the part in Mean Girls when Regina gets so pissed (and slightly psychotic) and photocopies the book and literally throws it around the school. Gal Secrets is like the moment when all the students come out of the classrooms and read the pieces of paper. The part when they all turn into "jungle animals" is like when people comment about the secrets on the lj itself, or go round various websites etc etc and post their hate/whatever about the secrets. ANYWAY. DONE.

Saving for Japan is proving to be extremely difficult as my "boss" still has a mega problem with me refuses to admit that there is. I am desperately seeking a new job and its awful. No one is bloody interested! I did have a "fake" job interview thing last week, where I was "selected" for an interview, but turned up to find 40 other people waiting there and to be told that the "company" is looking to train "managers" in 8-10 months instead of the usual 3-5 years. Because that doesn't sound dodgy does it? They were selling the same bull to all of the people there. And I didn't get a call back. *sigh*. I even bought a smart new shirt for that interview!!! Nevermind.

Im thinking about doing a management course though. The lovely Shaka asked me where I see myelf in 10 years time, and it didn't take me long to think and say that I wanted to be in charge somewhere. I want to be working in, or have close relations with people in Japan, and working for/owning a media company. I want to be able to help younger girls (like my age and younger or older) be accepted in whichever style they choose to take through life, so basically, id like to be like a western Sifow. I want to be able to say that im able to manage a large group or company, so I might take a look online into management and business courses and see where it takes me! I hope ive finally found something that I can do with my life. Ive always struggled not knowing where I can go, or what I can do, so this is a big change and surprise for me. When everyone else went to University, I got 2 jobs and started earning money and not doing anything to do with the qualifications or results that I had gained. Languages come super easy to me, so my Japanese classes should be great and will definitely help out. I also know French, so bring on the world!

Ill share some photos with you from the past month or so :

Me and some Japanese girls dressed up to promote 25% off YO!Sushi. I asked them if I could take a photo with them in Japanese and were shocked to find that I wasn't Japanese! They said my pronounciation was spot on. NICE

Most of my Nail and deco pieces (theres more)

I decided to make some nails for last weekend's Gal Cir meet, so these were the things I used, and the plan I drew out for the nail design

The finished product....the lighting makes them look awful. And I lost one...great

Some buys..........

Yes, the weekend just gone was not only EUROVISION, it was also a Gal Cir meet, and when Monica Tang came to visit! Shes such a darling! She's written about meeting us in her blog, so go check it out! She says we're like sisters, which I toally agree! Myself, Niijii and Caryn all got along so well with her! We're the four brownies! Monica did such a cute braid on me, and taught me how to do one, so ive been practising like mad:

(The one Monica did for me)

She also makes me want to update my wardrobe! That girl has serious style! I definitely feel more mature meeting her! Bye bye random closet pieces! Hello MT inspired fashion!

I went out to dinner with my man to TGI's last night. We haven't seen each other in a while due to his University work, so I was really happy. Blog from this tomorrow!

racism

Hi guys...I know I haven't posted a blog in a little while, but I want to vent something here, and then ill post something soon...

This gem appeared on today's Gal Secrets. Ive already commented on the blog, but I want to say here as well, that accusing anyone of being racist is wrong. Im so tired of seeing people writing so much crap about me, that im a slut, im an evil dictator like "hitler", that im trying to get "famous" by "using HIBISCGYARU", all sorts of random shit that only the most bored people could think of. But to accuse me of being racist? Its not on.

I will admit that I don't like Sam, but ive never been racist to/about her, or anyone at all. EVER.

I know who wrote this secret. Are you still bitter?

Get a life. And that goes to all the idiots that have the time to write stupid things about anyone, not just me.

bleach

Hello!~

I come bearing photos of my new hair colour! I uploaded a pretty crappy picture on Facebook yesterday, so if thats what you saw, im sorry! Thank you to Bloomzy, Emmie and Claire who commented! Just a quick note before I start the topic, my blog has reached 66 followers! Thats cool! It doesn't seem like many, but to someone who blogs as weirdly as I do (topics and layout of words haha) its ace! Thanks all! Maybe ill do a giveaway if I reach 100 followers......

Ill do the before and after and all of that jazz, and ill show you what else I managed to get up to....

                   Before                                   After

Okay, so it doesn't really look like there is much difference haha. But its shorter! Heres the photo from my facebook in a darker light:

See the difference? Its not the same as the Aina colour number 1 because she had loads of highlights. I could have had them done, but Ive never had them before and didn't know how much it would cost me so I left it. I really like it! the hairdresser said it was "creamier" than the colour I had before. And it looks like a shade Aina has had in the past, so that makes me happier lol :p

So, the other thing I did....

My eyebrows were too dark for the shade I had done, so I bleached them! Im still trying to find a shade for my eyebrows, but ive settled with this for now. I bought some Palty Eyebrow Mascara this morning, so when that comes, I shall experiment!

Heres some of the bleaching process photos, and what I used

My eyebrows were a darkish brown (not black like they look, and my roots looked super dark but they're ashy brown!) so I expected my eyebrows to go the shade at the bottom which would have been fine, but they actually went like white/yellow lol, (I left it on for ages haha) so I drew them in (which I would have had to do anyway). Ill give the mascara a try and if im not happy then I can always dye them. AND, they'll grow out anyway, so its not something im stuck with forever if I don't like it : D

Because this kit is for like, your whole head, it was a bit of a waste just using it but it doesn't matter. I would have used BBlonde bleach kit (which I used in the very beginning to go blonde before I started going to the salon) but my local supermarket didn't sell the cream I needed, or even the brand, and its a Sunday. I could have gone into town, but its a trek lol. The supermarket only had this and Wella highlight kit. All the rest was hair colourants and stuff. I was lucky...just!

(L)My eyebrows sarting to turn another colour  

(R)Light as hell!

End result again

What do you think?

My eyebrows are still a bit red in that photo as it was straight after I took the bleach off and I had quite a few attempts at getting a colour for my brows, but this seemed fine :)

On another note, the clothes I ordered on Thursday came yesterday : D And I need to buy some new MAC eyelashes because one "got stuck" to the back of my boyfriend's head while he slept....¬_¬ haha

They were grotty ones anyway, so ill see if I can pick some up this week. Im going to bring you some reviews in my next blog! And ill also do a nostalgia post, like Sara did! Ive been testing out a new shampoo and conditioner, Herbal Essences "Hello Hydration" and ive also swtiched my foundation from L'Oreal True Match to Revlon Color Stay, which is the one a lot of the gal models (and Aina) use

Bye for now!
