Mooberii meets Strawberries and Cream

Few weeks ago I was asked by my friend if I can model for a photo shoot to add on her portfolio. I was hesitant at first because I know for a fact that I tend to have an awkward smile in front of the cam. I only get decent shots If I'm in the mood to get my picture taken, but at the end I decided to give it a try since she said that it would be fine even in my given circumstance.

So early this morning I met up with my friend to have my first photo shoot experience. I was feeling sluggish since I ended up staying late last night doing my brothers project. Drank a cup of coffee and ate pancakes for breakfast to have an energy kick for today's shoot.

At the location of the shoot I met my friends partner and got along with her as well. Though I was already comfortable with them, I was not able to overcome my camera shy sickness! The awkward smile tends to appear in the photos lucky for me the photo shoot did not require a lot of smiling or else I would have wasted a lot of their time.

The shoot ended up well, we managed to get some decently good shots. Both of them did a great job especially handling a first timer like me.

 Here I am with Strawberries and Cream

Took some vanity shots after the shoot

One things is for sure! It's easier to smile when using a phones front cam *lol* 

The photos taken for today will be posted on their website soon.

They also do styling and make up as well! Liked my look for today? Click the photo below to check their services on their facebook page ^__^

LOTD || Time Alone

Early this morning I decided to go outside and have a time alone with myself for a change. The weather was hot as usual since I'm living at the tropics, so I decided to wear a floral sleeveless chiffon top which I bought from bangkok and black leggings from Zara. 

 LOTD

I went to UNIQLO at mall of asia branch to change an item because the one I got a week ago was a bit big for me. Then went to another mall to continue window shopping. 

I manage to spot a Maruko Chan item while doing 

some window shopping. I really loved watching chibi maruko chan 

back in the days because somehow it relieved me from stress.  

I also managed to buy this cute penny bank for about PHP 99 (2.41 USD)

**I just cant resist things that's related to strawberry and milk!**

At the end of the day I managed to buy only 2 items excluding food of course!

High waist shorts from UNIQLO and 

Strawberry Milk Penny Bank from Landmark 

After a tiring day went back home and found myself home alone and out of boredom I did some cam-whoring to kill time

*aaahh please forgive my vainess (-^.^-)*

So that it! Join me again next on my next post!

Study Time (勉強の時間)

Hi everyone! Finally made up my mind to continue learning Nihongo. Almost 2 years ago I decided to temporarily stop studying Nihongo so that I can concentrate on my chosen career. 

So today I went back to basic since I already forgotten most of what I have learned back then. My grammar, vocabs and kanjis gotten pretty rusty (XoX) !! Lucky for me I kept my books and worksheets intact. 

For starters I practiced writing the basic alphabets Katakana and Hiragana even though I still remember them. My  handwriting has gone from ok to bad! After practicing my writing skills I read a few paragraphs to see if I can still read at the same speed as before. Well I must say my reading skills was better that I expected it to be. I stopped there for today since I had an appointment schedule in the afternoon.

Hopefully If things go well I hope that I can finish reviewing Elem 1-2 before year 2013 starts! wish me luck! Really need it especially I'd be re-memorizing a lot of KANJIS *(T__T) huhuhu just thinking about it makes my head hurt* oh well for the love of Japanese Culture I must overcome this obstacle.

WTH!!

Yesterday I posted a fan pic of Takizawa Hideaki on my instragram, I did not really expect that someone would comment on the pic that i have uploaded so I was really surprised when some random person did. I thought at first it it was just some spam comment but when i viewed it. I was somehow enraged!

Here's the Picture of Takki that I posted

(got this from facebook)

Instragram Screen Cap

For a second there I thought she was also a fan of his, since she did liked the photo but her comment angered me, I mean WTF!! If you hate the guy then shut up! No need to comment! It was though she was looking for a fight, cause she commented on my post which if see my caption it clearly shows I'm a fan of Takki. 

I did not reply to her but instead blocked her and deleted her comment. I do not wish to spend my time replying and arguing with such person. I did check her account just to make sure she's not a spam user. Unfortunately she's a real deal bitch!  >_> ... oh well there's always a person like her who has nothing to do but to talk bad about others. So here I am posting this just to release my anger, and somehow it did ^_^ ...

Rurouni Kenshin

Yesterday I finally went to see Rurouni Kenshin live-action. I've been dying to see this movie in cinema since it has been announced that it would be shown on screen here at the Philippines.

Electronic Ticket

Years ago I was really hoping that they would make this into a live-action movie since it's one of my favorite childhood anime, and back then I even hoped that Takizawa Hideaki would portray the role of Kenshin since he reminds me of Kenshin while watching Yoshitsune and Satomi Hakkenden. I mean obviously there's a resemblance, they're both short and have the same body figure.So I thought he would fit the role perfectly.

(*o*) what a handsome kenshin he would have been

but of course time flies and now his a bit to old to play this role *haha* and it's time to give it to a younger generation. I was really happy that Takeru Sato also one of my favorite Japanese actor portrayed the role. He really did surprised me! He acted the role as if though he was really kenshin! He was perfectly fitted to play the role! *bravo* for that!

Takeru Sato as Himura Kenshin

So there I was watching the movie and was really surprised to see Aoi Yu as Megumi, I was not aware that she was also part of the cast so I was really surprised and happy *lol* I really adore her so much! My fangirl mode was totally ON last night. Though I did keep calm and watch the movie quietly.

I must say this is the BEST live action movie I've watched!! It did not ruin the manga nor the anime version at all! It exceeded my expectations! I did not expect to have a good laugh while watching this but indeed I did! It was really fun and worth watching and if given a chance I would pay to watch it again!

Prettia Hi- Bleach Review

Liese Prettia Hi-Bleach

Review

4 days ago I decided to finally dye my hair with Liese Prettia Hi Bleach. Actually months before ordering this hair product I was torn whether to buy Paltys Sparkling Blonde Bleach but at the end I chose Prettia because I don't want to go overly blonde. My goal is just to lighten my hair a bit which it did. 

 I ordered my bleach from Japanichi a trusted online seller. A box of Prettia cost PHP 700 but got mine for less because I ordered plenty to get a wholesalers price. Here's my verdict:  

Overall Rating: 4.5 Berries

Price wise the price is really worth it even without the discount! Why?? It's because 1 box is enough even for  those who have long hair, compared to Palty which requires me to use 2 boxes. I assure you 1 box of Prettia is more than enough even for those people who have both thick and long hair.

The Smell of this product is also less irritating and does not sting compared to the other brands that I have used.

For the Color It did not actually turned blonde but I already expected that, that's why I chose this Bleach at the first Place because don't intend yet to go totally blonde but maybe next time I will *hahaha*. 

and lastly for the Texture I must say I love the end results! It did not dry up my hair!! Actually It somehow became more softer than before!!! Though I still deep conditioned my hair before and after I used this product just for precaution.

Overall I love this product it never fails to make me love it even more! This is actually my second time using it and surely It won't be the last! ^_^ There are still a lots of color to choose from already bought Platinum Beige for my next hair color can't wait to try it!

1 Box Contains : 

☑Gloves

☑After Color Hair Pack (Leave-On Conditioner)

☑Developer & a Pink Pump Nozzle Pump

☑Hair Color (The small bottle)

☑Instruction / Manual in Japanese

Things you Might Need (OPTIONAL)

☐ Cape/ Old shirt/Towel (So not to stain your clothes)

☐ Cotton Balls/Buds/Tissue (For safety precautions) 

☐ Oil based lotion

☐ Shower Cap 

Ok now lets get started!

First Carefully Read the instruction for those who can't read Japanese here's a easy to follow

 Video Instruction

I love the gloves, it's more snug fit compared to Paltys

Now time to mix the Developer and the Color 

After that close it with the safety cap and gently turn it upside down 5 times, remember NOT TO SHAKE the bottle! It would bubble and you'll find it difficult to pump and apply. 

After turning it upside down 5 times replace the cap with the pink nozzle pump 

Now It's ready for application!

Just slight Squeeze the bottle the voila! Let the fun Begin!! 

*Unfortunately I was not able to take pictures during the application process 

I was afraid to stain my phone case sorry ^^;;*

and so after washing the hair apply the After Color Pack for a smoother and silkier hair.

Here's the BEFORE:

*My Honey Brown color became reddish toned*

and  AFTER 30 minutes of leaving the Bleach on my hair

 *drum roll please* 

It turned out slightly lighter than before more like of a Golden Brown Color, I guess I should have left it 10 mins more for better result.

On the other hand the color turned out even *phew*

Vacation trip to Ilo-Ilo and Antique

Hello everyone ^__^ It's been a while since my last post! The reason for that is I've went on a short vacation to my fathers home town to visit my grandfathers grave at the same time catch up with my relatives there since it has been 5 years since I've last visited. 

The new boarding pass is so convenient, it also serves as a

Lounge Pass! No need for an separate ticket to hold, which I tend to misplace.

At the Mabuhay Lounge waiting for my flight

At the plane there's a touch screen entertainment gadget for movies and music  

too bad I wasn't able to take picture of the airplane food since my phone is already turned off plus left my camera on my check-in bag.

During my stay I not only visited my relatives but also got enjoy the scenery of my dads home town!

Lovely right? Such a relaxing place

I did not only enjoy the scenery but I had the chance to see the children of deceased dog "Lucky" *huhuhu i miss him so much*

This cutie here is simba! ^__^

This Playful one is Bush, I have a feeling that he's the leader of the pack.

And this foxy fellow here is burdigol

The 3 of them are mixed breed of Japanese Spitz and Chinese Sharpei.

Anyways this trip would not end without Pasalubong Buying *Souvenirs*

Here are some local delicacies which can be bought at the airport.

Oh yeah and if ever you guys go to Ilo-Ilo you should try their Lapaz Batchoy it's so yummy! Totally worth eating and also the butterscotch and piyaya is a good pasalubong for your family and friends!! ^__^

I'll be ending my post here since I'm already so sleepy. 

Don't forget to read my next post about my review on Prettia Hi-Bleech
