Boxing Ninjaaa

Going to train tomorrow. Imma be a boxing ninja! 

STOKED.

I hope to liken Laila Ali one day. LOL as if I can.

Lace and Chiffon

There's something about the combination of lace and chiffon that I love. It's feminine and romantic and reminds you of an old world that's full of magic and mystique. 

The change of colour would completely alter the feel of the dress. Bright colours would make it fun and flirty. White and pastel colours would make it pure and fresh. Neutrals would make it sexy. And dark colours would give it an air of mystery.

Here are some of the runway looks that I love:

Elie Saab

I unfortunately didn't get to find out who designed this gorgeous dress :(

Erdem

Dolce & Gabbana

Herve Ledger

Mytheresa

Valentino

Elle Fanning's Teen Vogue Hair & Make-up! :)

I really loved Elle Fannings natural doll-esque make-up and braided hairstyles in the latest issue of Teen Vogue. I'm so happy I came across this video!! I'm inspired to try false eyelashes and to do the braids for when I go out. :)

I also found another of Megan's hair tutorials with is a simple and pretty simple braided headband which is great for summer!


Here are examples of the look:


1) Lauren Conrad

2) Nicole Richie

3) Nicole Scherzinger

Bohemian Waves

AHHHHHHHH!!! I finally found the PERFECT way to curl my hair into waves!! I was searching vids on youtube (particularly Vanessa Hudgens inspired ones), watched a few of them and came across this girls video. I don't know her name, haha.

It's perfect for me because we have the same layered hair and before, I used to curl the top layer first before the ones under and I believe I was wrong in doing so because I just made it harder for myself, haha. Anyway, I was wondering how she curled her bangs because I never seemed to get it right and in the video she shows how to curl your (layered) hair step-by-step. Best video I've seen so far in curling hair 101. She also mentioned she has a video wherein she curls her hair using a flat iron and I've been dying to learn how to do that! So that's definitely what I'll watch next. :)

I saw this other girl that did her hair in a cool way using a flat iron. I really like her technique!

Found a mermaid hair tutorial too! I love the first one better, haha.

Jet Black

My hair is finally JET BLACK!!! I’m so amazed how extremely contrasting my hair is to my skin colour more now, ahahaha.

I bought this semi-permanent henna dye and it’s pretty cheap. What I love about it is that it conditions your hair too while the dye is penetrating into your hair. My hair is super soft now. And when the dye stains your skin, it comes off easily. I also love that you can control how much dye and conditioning treatment you can use. If you still have extra, you can kept that and use it for touch-ups or for the next time when your roots grow. The 2-in-1 comb is handy as well for an even coverage of the dye in your hair. :)

I just freaked out a little when I was rinsing because my hair kept on bleeding. It took FOREVER to get the dye out. But my sister dyed her hair black too before and she said that’s what really happens when you use black dye, haha. 

So now I'm legitimately associated with my Snow White nickname. My hair is originally dark brown but now that I have jet black hair, I'm even whiter than I normally am, haha. And I feel like doing a Snow White shoot! Even my friend Seed said it's a cool idea and she can be the witch, hahahaha.

Dance Like Demi Lovato, BoA and Lauren

I wish I danced like them!

Merienda! :)

Evelyn made walnut brownies for merienda! :) The top’s a little charred but it still tasted yummy. Of course I’d have to eat it with milk and on our vintage china while reading my lovely tattered copy of Wuthering Heights.

PSYCHEDDDDDDD!!!

hghsdfjsjfjsafljsdfgisdgjvsdjgoujweoif!!!!!!! Just found out I'm in the Honor's List for graduation!!!!!!!!!!! My friend tagged me in a photo of the list. THANK YOU, GOD!!! and Lorisse for letting me know!!! I was hoping I got in! BOOYA!! ♥♥♥

Leighton Meester!!!

My friend Sarah just saw Leighton Meester live!! She said Leighton was sweet, beautiful and had a great voice. I’m so jelazzz! Look how close she was!! And doesn’t Leighton look great with her new fringe? ♥

That awkward moment when...

you see a cute guy and you look like a mess. *le sigh*

Finally bought black dye and as I got out of the store, I passed by this really cute Eurasian looking guy with platinum blonde hair. ♥ We looked at each other but I quickly looked away because I remembered that I looked like I just got out of bed (which I actually did): shirt, shorts and messy hair. D: 

My outfit for a mixed weather would be...

... what Dakota Fanning's wearing right here (minus the white knee-length tights and the big skyblue bag because I think it's too much and it's not my style). First of all, I'm IN LOVE with those lumberjack-ish boots and WHERE can I find them? I say this can work for an off weather because of the different looks you can pull off with the outfit. When it's sunny I can just wear the white button down dress inside and the scarf to accent the outfit of which I can put over my head ala Audrey Hepburn (the vintage-esque mahogany bag and shades is a must of course). And then when it rains I can put on the loose army green jacket and tie the scar around my neck for a different look. I of course would wear my hair like that using an iron so my hair would be nice, silky, flat and effortless.

My perfect bowling outfit would be...

...Lucy Hale's cool rocker but casual vibe for when she hung out with her guy friends (Hollah, Colton Haynes!). I love the one shoulder loose rocker baseball styled long sleeved tee with the denim light washed shorts, brown belt and off white converse sneakers that gives this look a vintage feel. The yellow sling bag, bangles and dangling earrings give the outfit colour and adds a feminine gypsy-like touch. And her loose wavy beach hair is perfect for comfort. Comfortable but stylish all the same.

Like something, it's HARD to get.

Dislike Begin to loose interest, it HAUNTS you.


In DREAMS no less. 


*le sigh*


STORY OF MY LIFE.

The Start of a New Era!

I mentioned that I was going to be proactive this summer and BOOYA! I commenced today! Or rather yesterday because it's 2:00 am in the morrow, haha.

My day started a little bit frustrating because I had an amazing dream about my soulmate and when I woke up I literally saw the dream slipping away in my mind. O_o Like a scenario from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind come to life. And then I got all frantic that I would forget the entire dream and it's like I heard my soulmate say: 

  
So I tried my best and wished Morpheus, God of Dreams to let me keep my dream. Even just the parts of my memory with my soulmate in it. I asked -

Just him would suffice. Thank Morpheus I remembered! 


And so my day continued and I was psyched because my older sister and I were going to hang out at the gym and sauna. BUT then I found out it was the first day of my period and I usually get hardcore dysmenorrhea (a.k.a. menstrual cramps) so I didn't know if I could exercise or not. I really was determined to so I drank my medicine and heaps of tea so calm my abdomen. And it worked! HOHOHO. Take that, Life! Beatchaaa!

Unfortunately, my sis and I didn't get to hang no more because her boyfriend was coming over so I got my younger brother to go with me instead. I got a tad jealous because he was going to go swimming before heading the gym because the heat this summer is in-tense! Alas I could not join him because of obvious reasons. I got started with my usual gym exercises and I was on a roll - but then when I was totally in the zone in the treadmill, my mp3 fell and flew off. 

So much for swag, hahaha.

Eddie Redmayne and Clemence Poesy are going to play lovers in a movie!!!

I'm SO stoked! I just love their unique beauties!!

I really think they'd look good together. I hope it's a period movie! That would make me FLIP.

my favourite photo of Eddie! This is from the tv movie based book, Pillars of the Earth

never seen him with his hair up. i quite fancy it. <3

look at those eyes and lips!

I can't believe I don't know this movie. :/ 

Adding this to my list of movies to download!

Lily Allen's brother is on Game of Thrones!?

Meet Alfie Allen.

Trivia of the Day.

Let's Get Physical! Physical!

Peg's for my friend and I's jogging outfits, haha!

love this outfit of Olivia Newton-John's but I'd probably skip on the pink leotards. 

love the colour though!

wouldn't be caught dead wearing metallic leggings but I'm digging the over-sized sweaters.

wish I had those mp3 arm holders. i'll remind myself to buy in the future.

I have aqua leggings so that might do, lol and leg warmers as well. :)

Hip Hoppin' to Fitness

I remember watching infomercials on tv and stopping on Hip Hop Abs. The marketing was hilarous but FUN and I really wanted to try it but I wasn't sure if it was legit or not. But after asking around, my friends said it was the real deal despite the funny workout names and actions like 'Booty Ballet'. It surprised me too that they knew about it bec. it seemed like something people would question, haha.


My friend used to be a little on the heavy side when she was younger but she used it and it led to great results! She's really slim now. Don't fret though, she still eats a lot. 


Here are some funny photos of the Hip Hop Abs dude. I do think he's pretty rad though!

no idea why he's pursing his lips, ahahaha.

showing off his washboard-rockhard abs...what do you expect? lol

doing the 'greek god' pose, haha

And here's a video of a clip of Ellen doing the workout. X3 I just LOVE her!

Oookay, that previous post of mine was...random, hahaha.


Anyway, my friend and I will be on a fitness regimen starting officially next week. Since summer started a few weeks ago, I've been doing nothing. At all. I'm the epitome of a bum. :| I have all these plans I should commence on but I just feel so sluggish all the time. I think it's mainly because in my last semesters of school, my batchmates and I have been working our derrières off especially for our fashion show graduation. Right after the show, I literally plummeted to a hiatus. Not doing anything just being. Although, right now I believe I've backfired since I have mentioned I'm a bum right now. Who would have thought I and the word bum would coincide in the same sentence? Definitely not me. Until now.


And then, there's this problem with me being highly unfit. I'm slim and all but don't get me wrong. I'm one of the most unfit people I know!! I used to do sports but I got into reading and the arts more when I was going up and would spend my time at home. Another additional reason was I'm deathly pale. 


Months ago, when I was in Singapore with half of the fambam, we would walk everyday, day to night in long distances for almost a week. A few days before we were leaving I could not take it anymore and I literally would drag my feet off the ground and would die trying to catch up with my mum. My mum is a speedracer when she walks! My feet was in grueling pain as was my body for a great while when I came back. 


At my school, if the lifts are crowded and if I want to avoid people (which is often, haha - I'm a self-considered social pariah), I use the stairs and not without grand effort. The fashion floor is at the 8th floor and the stairs from floor to floor are rather long so with just 2/3 flights of stairs, I'd be totally trying to restore proper breathing. That's how unfit I am.


I used to go to the gym as well with my brother and sister but I stopped when I got busier and busier in school. I better catch up now.


So right, I'm doing the '100 Workout program' I saw on Tumblr. 

As well as jogging with my friend Anna next week (I'm recruiting jogging mates soon!) and we're doing Hip Hop Abs in the near future. We'd just have to buy the dvd. It's rather expensive so forgive me if I prefer buying a cheaper one. I'm saving up money for a scholarship abroad you see.

Anna and I are planning to wear 80's jogging outfits in honour of Olivia Newton's 'Let's Get Physical' video, LOL.

Animating my reaction using Spongebob Squarepants

I'm a fashion design and merchandising major and about 3 weeks ago, I officially finished my 3 1/2 years in college. At first...

I was ecstatic because I'm finally graduating!!! 

but then I started to see cute guys in my school and that rarely happens!

A guy I even had a crush on before smiled at me. 

(I would know because I made sure he really did. 

I didn't want to assume hahaha)

WHY do they appear when I'm leaving already!? 

I was at that school for almost 4 years!

POR QUE!?!?!?!

NOTE: This post has been exaggerated for the fun of it, LOL. I did not cry buckets when I had this realization. Just thought it was bittersweet, haha.

Olá, mais uma vez!

...I'm baaack!


(So the 3 paragraph 'welcome back me' post I typed got erased. Story of my life. *le sigh* I won't retype it anymore bec. it was long and I don't remember everything, besides, the "I'm back" part was the summary. I'd rather not dwell on what was lost and move on.)

TESTING TESTING

So apparently blogspot has been bogus here in Asia for a couple of days now, my sister says. I'm testing if this will post or not. Crossing my fingers! 


p.s. I still can't decide what font I want for my posts. Fickle, fickle. :/
p.p.s. HERE. WE. GO!

COACHELLA Valley of Music and Arts Festival

I've been dying inside knowing that I have yet to attend Coachella. I've been checking out photo's and band schedules online but that just stabbed the would deeper in my music soul. Oh the pains of being monetarily deprived and living in Asia. Soon I say, soon!

 my Tumblr friend posted a link saying she was watching Coachella live in youtube!
