shooting outcome, diet restart & sparkly gets

Long time no see, my my.
The semester started and I found myself fully stressed with deadlines, sinking into a system of bureaucracy with no idea how to step out, ugh. The new apartment is a big fail. A big wtf fail. It's not new at all and it has nasty bugs creeping out of the walls (there is some holes in the skirting board) that I don't know how to deal with. Ungh. I will drop by at the administration office a few more times and get that room as clean as it gets and sooner or later just give up or what not. I am glad my mom is trying to help me with this ; ; It's just getting really horrible. I hope I will find a solution soon.

So, first things first. I saw the outcomes of the shooting at madRip. It looks like they didn't photoshop at all so the photos are rather disillusioning people of my beauty I suppose haha ; ;
If you haven't seen them on facebook yet, here they are. I adjusted the brightness slightly.

I look weird on the chu-lip one but I like the other one where you can also see my blue strands (◕‿◕)

With these pictures I again realized I am not really satisfied with my body yet and since I somehow could find the patience to restart my diet, I am on a 1200 calorie diet now with the help of 

myfitnesspal.com

I didn't really lose weight yet (well, 200g) but the diet is supposed to make you lose weight slowly so you don't gain it all back later. I hope that I will lose 1kg until next week. My total goal is 4kg. Later I might go for more.
The system is similar to weight watchers which helped me to lose weight when I was 17. If you exercise, you will earn extra calories to eat more. If you are trying to diet, please give it a try. Also add me if you like~ Dieting together keeps you motivated.

Next: My latest gets!

new lashes I bought while still in Tokyo

Embryolisse that many ageha & egg models use

d.i.a. bra from ebay I spotted by chance

I absoultely couldn't resist the d.i.a. mise bra when I saw it, and I got it for 20€ (including shipping) which is a good price for a BNWOT item I think. I was fearing that it's too small even when I just held it in my hands but it actually fits way better than most of my other bras (even my Ma*rs mise bra is simply too big, I need to always pull the straps tight around my neck and it won't really hold). I guess I was wrong about my underbust measurement...
For my birthday two weeks ago I also got a lot of other d.i.a. things from mbok which I am still waiting for. Almost regret spending so much money but once a year you need to spoil yourself, right?♪

Take care everyone, hopefully spring will get around soon~

new bed & magazine picks

Quick update before I fall asleep~ This was Yumachi's choice of clothes I was talking about in the past entry. Yes yes, I was too lazy to take a pic. But I think what she chose is amazing. Even though the pieces she chose are rather simple, together they make a great outfit. I think this makes it look mature/大人っぽい, doesn't it?

Talking about 大人 here, I was taking a look into my closet to decide if there was other stuff I wanted to sort out and sell (I couldn't let go of many items, again) and saw my red Lip Service dress. Up till now this is still my favourite dress. The first time I saw it, I fell in love with it. Perfection. I had to buy it even though it fitted very tightly! Haha. By now it sits more or less normal on me, just that it's very short.

I think I will not have the chance to wear this again, besides, I wore this on one of the happiest days of my life so it sort of has a special meaning for me... I put it on though, anyway, even though I had no plans to go anywhere nor to put on make-up or anything.

Left I simply love the design and colour. Though the shape makes me body look strange a little...

Oh, please ignore my hello kitty slippers, I don't wear shoes inside of the house hence why my legs look huge too -cough-

Right About that! This is my new bed, so to say which came in on Wednesday, when I wasn't home and I saw it when I returned to my parents home for the weekend. It's pink, soft, and antiallergic ♥ What could I desire more.

I can't wait to bring my futon to my room tomorrow. I have actually been sleeping on the plain floor the past weeks because I have had a soft mattress before and I get terrible backaches from them (and I know it's surprising, but I don't get them from sleeping on the floor). I really hope it's going to be better with this. The beds in Japan have much harder mattresses anyway, it seems...

So, my room is going to look different from what I expected but I already thought so when I moved in because my room is small and possibilities just as money are limited. I saw some more room pictures in the newest Ageha, of course I love Shizuka Muto's room again. From the way she dresses, even though that's her style and her own design and all, it seems all she does is stay at home so it's understandable she wants her home to be very nice and comfortable, right?~

Normal girls like us can only dream about this, right? Look at the chandelier! Which only looks good with suiting furnishing, for about, I don't know 1 Million Yen?

So anyway, I think when I clean up a little tomorrow and hang up some posters or so, I will be closer to this kind of room. Though... not as pretty. And I always get my room messy because I leave things on the floor...

Simple and clean, with a pink couch and futon, too. I unfortunately have light green walls, eh...

Hopefully I will have enough energy to study Kanji with some of my classmates & clean up a little. This weekend just doesn't feel like a weekend at all ( ; ; )

latest buy & small room ideas

Hello everyone~
I'm greeting you with a sweet treat that is my latest favourite. Really reminds me of strawberry cake!

First of all, I brought my d.i.a. top home safely.
I was really happy about it, it's just as lovely in person as on the pictures. I wanted to buy some fitting pants and since my friend has some ripped pants with lace showing (take a look at the purikura from the last post), I wanted some like that too! They're pants from d.i.a. that are the same design.

I got a pair in black that was said to run small, so I bought a size bigger. But they are a little bit loose now ; ;

I'm thinking of giving them back now/selling them. Of course they can never achieve that fierce d.i.a. look, but they were way cheaper and I could still modify them. The endless question: Should I keep them or not?
On the other hand, apart from one pair, I don't have any fitting long pants anymore! Which is bad because I can feel winter approaching next month. This is not Japan, haha.

In the meantime I've been looking for apartments/places to live some days ago because -in case anyone missed it- I'm a university student from now! And my place is about 3 hours by train from the university ( ; ; )
I know I know, the semester is about to start, I am always late like that and never really care, haha. I have one more visiting coming up, and then an agency that promised me a visiting next week, but those agencies don't seem trustworthy to me!
Anyway, I hope I'm going to get something very soon and then I have big plans for the interior design (unless the uni stress will kill me). I looked through my collections of ageha issue scans and found quite nice examples of what I want. Those ideas are all for small rooms and I actually like the cozy idea more than big wide rooms.

One exception from happie nuts. I like how clear & white it is, even though very small, the white seems to make it appear at least a little more 'wide' and not too packed.

 

A possible reference for mature gals/gal mamas: Momoeri's room~ 

Not very stuffed, a bigger room with a clean design. Looks more 'useful', right? I'm not fond of it.

Sayo Hayakawa's room. She was my idol three years ago and even now I like the design she chose.

I'm not sure why she needs two beds, but the idea of having your couch next to the bed somehow pleases me.

Now my two top favourites

Bed next to the couch again, all in stylish black with sublte highlights. Looks like a guy's room almost, doesn't it?

I love the 'cool' feeling of it (though the audio equipment feels misplaced), I definitely want a room like this!

My favourite ever since I saw this in 2008.

Black and white/cream designed, combined beautifully and in a very clean composition. Even the bathroom, the fridge and the vacuum cleaner fit in the design!

I am dreaming of an apartment like this, but in Japan, not here. One day, one day, haha.

& at last, a bonus room picture

Ryoma Saegami's room.

Looks like 1K since you can't see much of it. Hosts have to save up, huh? Maybe he has a different room now.
