Well, what do you know! It's the last day of June. Time really does fly so fast half of the year is finished. We're on the second half now, and I'm kinda excited for July. Heehee... Good vibes!

So, here are my new stuff / acquisitions for this month...

Braved that back-to-school throng of last-minute shoppers at National Bookstore for a couple of cute metallic gray and pink pens (because of Ekai-neechan, hahahaa!) which I'm loving.

Current and back issues of Candy mag, Cosmopolitan June 2012, and a back issue of Otakuzine.

Otaku stuff! Gamer shirt from Fun Tee and Dead Master Nendoroid.

Short black wig and wig cap from Farmers Cubao, which I used in that photo from my previous post. Aa~ It's much easier for me to get wigs now, thanks again to Ekai-nechan!

Cool Blue which I gave to my nephew, Ultra Moisture Rich Lipsticks (gave one to my sister), and a Smooth Minerals Eyeliner in Onyx (for future makeup experiments). All from Avon.

Milcu Magic Puff, scrunchie from Pinkbox, Cyleina Black Pearl soap (let's see if this will work on me, heehee...), Maybelline Color Bloom Tinted Lip Balm in Peach Blossom (my favorite!), Marrionaud retractable blush brush).

2 Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks -- Love That Red is for me while Pink Flame is again for my sister.

Cotton pads, lash case, upper and lower lashes, and brow shaver. From Saizen and Japan Home Center. This will be the first time I'm using false lower lashes. I wanna get Dolly Wink ones!

False lashes (again!) in Vivid Long -- will use them for future blog posts. Oil Control paper, and Petit Darling Nails in BR310. From Etude House.

ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder, and their 100-piece Eyeshadow Palette. Considered as my most ridiculous purchase (in a good way!) of the month. LOL! Guess I won't be getting new eyeshadow palettes anytime soon. Or in the next couple of years, hahahaa!

I think this is one of those times I went all-out. Gah! More self-control please, hahaa!

じゃね！

Rina-chan style! LOL!

So yeah, my "online diary of sorts" turned one year last 26 June. やった！ I never imagined I'd be able to keep this blog up even only for that long. I had an old one in Wordpress before but I guess I didn't have anything much to say at the time, so I neglected it. But it's different now. I've changed a lot, experienced a lot, learned a lot... Okay, 'nuff of the drama.

Just in case you're wondering how I look without lenses AND with my granny glasses. Oh, but I just changed my frames! More on that soon. Old glasses are old...

Ohai!

Doing a quick post before sleeping. I actually missed writing this kind of entry. It's been quite a while, huh...

It seems I can't get enough of ONE OK ROCK, I've been playing almost all of their full albums (while doing house chores, tee-hee) for two days straight now. Argh! But what can I do? I've been held captive by their awesome music, their impressive Japanese-English songs. And honestly, I'm beginning to like Taka-san, he's so cute! Ohoho~ たかーさんかっこいいです！

とにかく... C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h (it's kinda tiring to write) is the fifth track from the band's latest album, Zankyo Reference. This is probably the second song I like most from ONE OK ROCK, the first being Wherever You Are. I really love it! From the instrumentation -- the guitar riffs, basslines, drum patterns; down to the lyrics, very meaningful. And not to mention Taka-san's voice and clear English pronunciation, now that completes the package! I love how he sings: "Dream as if you will live forever, and live as if you'll die today..." These lyrics, nothing could be closer to the truth. Though the meaning of the title itself still is a puzzle to me.

じゃね！
