Little Stuff

I lurvv my webcam. SO convenient!!!

Got some normal sunnies/Kanye West kinda lamella glasses hybrids (in red, it's hard to tell by seeing the pics). I liked how goofy they looked and for 500Y or something they were cheap enough to get them just for kicks. I decided they are perfect for the club. I wear my sunglasses at night.


Lately, I really like pimping up my hair hardcore with gallons of hairspray. Just my normal anti-overreaction to my otherwise naturally flat, straight, zero point zero zero voluminous hair. Which is also why I kept getting permanent wave after permanent wave for years.

I also resorted to a cure to my other natural beauty deficit, which is my typically Asian short, straight, meager eye lashes!!! F*** them!

I now pimp them up real good. I somehow also like just to apply them, which is easier and quicker than most expect. I got three cheap 5er packs of lashes in "Donki", how we so affectionately call the "Don Quixote", that trashy you-can-get-everything-in-here-and-when-I-say-everything-I-mean-everything chain store over here. I got some natural looking ones, too (o_O) which eventually does not even make sense to me because when I accessorize it is for everyone to see! May tacky-ness prevail forever. I should really get some with glitzy glitz bling bling on, too. Just because.

I also thought I should start telling a bit about life here. Not exactly my life, so I will just rant about Japan and the Japanese. Because they can be so darn hilarious. They have people in uniforms with big glow sticks waving your way past construction sites or garages or anything that could be very dangerous to pass by without proper guidance! Yes, they are there, and they would be waving at anyone who happens to pass by and that is all they do all day. Provided anyone passes by at all. It must be the most boring job in the world. I would think that signposts with well visible arrows showing you the right way, or blinking lights evoking your attention could suffice. But I guess that's how they create jobs.

Oh and pllluhhh-eeeeze

Well, at least they got jobs eh. Here all unemployed people are send to work as trash cleaners, but I didn't see any trash in Japan so I guess they had to think of something else. I'd also love to hear more about life in Japan. The sunglasses are fantastic btw, and I'd probably buy your stuff if I could fit into it :/

Sounds like one crazy job and I'm guessing one work day can seem like a pretty long time!

I definitely hear you with the lashes. I have some always on stand by for nights out. I'm too lazy though and haven't worn any for a long time!

Hah, I also try to fight the sometimes utterly boring and cruel Asian genes. Been trying to work the curlers to change my hair, perfect with a crazy and curly hairdo when I go out!

A dreamer said...
