My answers to Ali's questions:

Q. Why did you start blogging?

I've been blogging since (If I remember correctly) 2003/2004. Basically to keep updated with friends around the world, to write down my daily frustrations (As a teen lol) or my experiences with certain things. To remember things that are important to me and which I'd love to read back at certain times.

Q. What do you do when you can't think of anything interesting to blog about?

I do meme's. Haha, no I'm just kidding. I just try to find something to update about which is also interesting for my readers. Back at LJ I'd update daily, but somehow I don't think anyone is too interested in my personal life too much, other than the people I've known for a long time. Basically, if I can't think of anything these days, I'll wait until inspiration hits me.

Q. Do you have a job or are you still studying?

I work as a dental assistant after 4 years of study. I worked 3 years at a difference practise, and this year I started a new fulltime job, which I really enjoy.

Q. What's your favourite product recently?

Anything from Rituals 'TAO' line. Basically I am very much in love with their scrub cream (Wai Wang) and their body cream (Mei Dao) It has a lovely scent, based on white lotus, yi yi ren and green tea. It helps you relax a lot!

Q. Online Shopping or traditional shopping? Why?

Lately, it's been a lot of online shopping. Basically because I can't find what I am looking for in the regular stores, so I need to look it up and get it elsewhere. The only - point is the fact you can't try it on. But then again, shopping online tends to be a lot cheaper (Thus, you spend a lot more too haha!)

Q. Do you have any brothers or sisters? What do they think of your blog?

I have a younger sister, she turned 22 yesterday. I'm not sure if she knows I keep a blog, she probably does but doesn't show any interest. Perhaps I should ask sometime, but we seem different in many ways.

Q. What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

That's probably a whole list of things, which I'd like to forget about as soon as I can, haha~! Singing in public must be one of them.

Q. Which blog do you visit daily or most often?

I don't have one particulair blog I follow on a daily base trough blogger, I check my followers' posts and then move onwards to ameba.

Q. Describe your own personality?

I'm a rather present person I think, even though that has changed quite some over the years. I like to go out and do things with friends when I can, which makes me pretty impulsive as well. I'm a joker, love to laugh but I also have my moments of being cranky (luckily, I hardly ever show) Perhaps somewhat OCD when it comes to certain things, I just want everything to go smooth and often take the lead if I have to.

Q. What is something you can't live without?

Food and my phone. Food because I always seem to be hungry and not gaining any weight seems to be a perfect (and perhaps deadly lol) combination. My phone because basically I can check on my friends anywhere and the other way around.

Q. Which country would you like to visit the most?

I love visiting Japan and Hong Kong, but if we speak about countries I haven't seen yet; I'd love to go to Australia/New Zealand and Canada. As long as there is something to do and see! I'm not one to lie around on the beach for days..

24 ♡ Selling & personal stuff.

So I decided to clean out my closet in this stormy weather. A lot of things that I bought but ended up never wearing, simply because I do not think they fit with my style or body type.

YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY SALESPOST HERE

Don't worry. I got asked if I was leaving gyaru, which is not the case. I am just trying to adjust my style to where I feel comfortable in. Which probably means getting a new wardrobe haha! I am also thinking about getting extensions for the new year, my own hair still a little too short to do anything with it.

That leaves me with the question what color to dye it. I've been having this crisis for quite some time now, since my roots are showing. At some point I'd like to go back to my natural hair color (which is a dark brown) but on the other hand it cost me a lot to get it lighter, and it makes me look less pale as the dark color. Decisions decisions.

And last, but not least. This might sound funny to a lot of you, but..

I GAINED WEIGHT.

Yes, that indeed sounds funny coming from a girl, right? As some of you might know I've been struggling a lot with my weight, getting sick etc. I'm quite tall, and (un)fortuatly blessed with my moms' genes. But I had found it unacceptable that my weight went below 55KG. This as a result of my stomach problems (No, I don't have an eating disorder, whatsoever) I'm glad I reached 57KG now, and fingers crossed it'll stay that way.

So, that was a little 'personal' ramble I had to get out of my system. Now it's time for Christmas decorations!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

23 ♡ Lazy Sundays

What to do on a lazy sunday? Other than my dad taking me on a tour through the middle of nowhere (I can now tell all the places next to my village..), I decided to try out a new wig that came in just a few days ago. Originally, I had wanted to use it for other purposes but it needs some work. It also seems that my camera has a few issues ; n ; so I'm stuck with my iPhone for now.

I am still waiting for my lens-order from PINKY PARADISE and a belated order from BORN PRETTY STORE. Unfortuatly, they had lost my tracking number, and after more than 4 weeks I still didn't get them. After writing them an email, in which they were really nice, they re-sent my order, so hopefully I will get those soon.

And, on a happier note;

☆☆ I will be going to Japan from March 8th - March 17th!! ☆☆

If there is anyone that'd like to meet, please let me know! I'm really excited, since the last time I have been there was 2009. It doesn't seem that long..

Time flies, doesn't it?

Now I need to figure out how I can make this blog look a little more decent. I'll try to add my twitter and tumblr account as soon as I can.

As for now, Happy St. Nick!
