And so it's safe to say that...

luck is out of her league

Oh hey there... I'm back after having not had internet for quite a while! I just got internet today and even though I don't have much to talk about, I figured I'd show you my new apartment. It's nothing major nor glamorous at all - quite the contrary actually.. and oh my god, don't even get me started on the color of the walls.

Anyway.. here are a few pics! ^__^)/ ~ ☆

Entrance and kitchen

Dining area

Bathroom

Sleeping+chilling area

Yeah, it's tiny but it's fine for me. I also (as mentioned) just got internet today - yay! But they didn't give me what I wanted -__-" I ordered 12MBit and I got a letter saying that they could only provide me with up to 6. According to their website that should give me approx 4-4.5 mbit at least - I ran a speed test. My download is 2.56Mbit and my upload is 0.81 -__-" wth. Calling them tomorrow. Jeez...

On a sidenote, can I just say that I really fucking hate the new blogger layout. What the flying flapjack is that?! My god.. the whole dashboard just looks absolutely retarded. Who the hell came up with all that? Ew.

Anyway, sorry for being such a lousy blogger lately! I'm really just trying to get this damn Yonsei application together.. I realized that I'm broke as fuck and most likely cannot afford all the vaccines that I ought to get.. Also I'm falling behind on school work, I've been having these horrible headaches, I'm super stressed out about everything and ARGH I just wanna shoot somebody in the face.. (preferably the kids downstairs who keep playing hockey up against the sheds below my apartment)

Ugh, sorry about that. I need a drum set or something to relieve stress with. /le sigh.

Hope you're all doing better than I am -__-"
MUCH LOVE

LAST NIGHT

Yeah.. not much to say. We went to Club Christopher which is like a super popular gay place. I didn't really count how many times gay guys came up to me, petted me or kissed me on the cheek and talked about how super cute I was or how much they loved my hair. -__-" Anyway, I went with Dai, JEONGIE, Chris, EMIRU and Jacki. w0p w0p. Chris was trying to play all hard-to-get and didn't wanna go.. but we MADE HIM! (read: we paid his entrance fee, lol) >: D We all got super damn drunk and most of the party is pretty much like a blur.. I remember a few things.. rather.. disturbing things.. O_O but I won't tell you guys about that. lol.

And to distract you guys from that (cause I know that you're all nosy bastards ; D) here's food porn and an ugly picture of me with terrible hangovers : D

Thanks for reading! Tagged people better do them tags! ^__^)/
I should go do my homework now.. T_T it's like 12:38 already. Dammit!

MUCH LOVE

SWAPPIN' All over the World

Yes, I do still swap with people (whom I love)

and latest I've received amazing goodies from JAY and KATIE.
(and Maggie, but that's more personal. kekeke)

Thanks guys ^__^)/ ~♡

Actually this was back in December.. /le cough. But either way, I felt that these amazing people deserved an entry of their own. So here it is - as my thanks to you guys. Jay already got her own package, but I'm still building up contents for both YINNIE (who's been waiting forever omg sorry T_T) and KATIE. ^__^" hang in there guise!
For now.. the post about Jay's and Katie's packages for me! There are 4 items in the picture above - the letter was a birthday card and the other box was a Christmas/birthday present from Vivi. I don't really talk to her anymore.. but it was still nice of her I guess. ^__^)" so yeah! Thanks to everyone for that!

Jay's package was packed with goodies! She added THREE cards lololol. 1 birthday card, 1 Christmas card and one random note. haha! My god, you cutie you! /le hugs. Those chocolates there were absolutely DELICIOUS btw! Forever will I crave those~ my lord they were good. T__T; She also sent me two scented candles from Yankie, some LUSH goodies among other things. She still owes me a sheep though ; D I'm yet expecting that spy-kit sheep you promised me the other day! WAHAHA~!

Katie's package was so damn overwhelming T_T my god she packed it with SO many perfect things I can't even.. /clings to Katie. I LOVE YOU! OK? ♡ LOVE YOUUU! First of all she got me a super nice card and a cut-out from a Korean newspaper about Big Bang winning the EMA's for international act >: D FUCKYEAHH! They won with 58 MILLION VOTES! Can you believe that? We VIPs are whack, yo! I love how so many butt-hurt Britney fans were all like "omg who are these Chinese guys like wtf" Maybe if you bitches bothered voting for your idol.. she might've won. But then again.. 58 million votes. WAHAHAH. We rocked that bitch ok! ~(ò__Ó)/

She then got me tons of sweets, facial masks, some lashes, BLUE BERRY BAGELS OMG NOMS and some beauty items.. AND.. the Coastal Scents GO Palette in "Moscow". Shit son, that palette is gorgeous! I used it for my New Year's look last year and I LOVE that damn palette. The colors are gorgeous and super pigmented and there's no annoying glittery fall-out. AMAZING.


So yeah.. Thanks to both of you! I know that Jay liked her package quite a bit : D Hopefully you will like yours too, Katie! Don't lose hope! I will get it out to you soon ok?

Thanks for reading y'all and don't forget to check out my girls' blogs!

MUCH LOVE

☆ Just some haulin' to brighten the day ^__^)/

Oh hi there ^__~

How do you like the new layout? It ended up a bit more Christmas-y than I'd expected.. but either way, please welcome Bang (Yong Guk) and ZELO from B.A.P on the newest NanCakes layout. I'm quite pleased with the simplicity of it, oh yes I am..but again, the red/green is a bit Christmas-y no? O_Ô oh well. Just imagine f(x)'s Hot Summer outfits and green grass - yup yup!
I went shopping with Nezumi/Annemette today (which is actually yesterday as it's past midnight already)! We had lots of fun and she helped me pick out a few things ^__^)/ wuii~!

INGLOT

^ not a brand that I'm familiar with tbqh. 

I've seen a few youtubers (esp. LittleKiva) rave about it.

First I got this strange idea that it was some sort of cheap, Polish company. But with time INGLOT established a great name for itself. It's not much cheaper than MAC, but I'm actually quite impressed by the quality. I swatched a shit load of colors at the store (yet I failed to find a nice, dark, warm brown for shading) and even though I was given a few of those stupiduglyassannoyinglygross sponge-tip applicators to use for swatching, I was still positively surprised about the quality. ^__^)/ so yeah.. I had a $50 gift card and spent $15 out of my own pocket to get an extra shadow and the makeup wipes. The shadows were about $15-$17 and the wipes were $8 - so yay! I got three shadows and a pack of wipes. 

The wipes. Pretty basic but they remove the makeup so effortlessly. I barely have to put pressure on my skin and GONE the swatches were. It was an impulse-buy (obviously) but I have no regrets and am definitely looking forward to using them from now on ^__^)/

The shadows. I picked up 3 - first having contemplated on getting 2.. but I couldn't decide and was torn between the taupe-ish gray/brown and another olive-y color that reminded me quite a lot of Sumptuous Olive from MAC. The swatches above are shown in numeral order and are only very light swatches done with a finger. Quite pigmented. I like the darkness of the blue one. It reminds me of a blue version of Beauty Marked (also by MAC) but with more depth to the "colored" pearl. Gorgeous indeed.

#395 - IVORY PEARL

The colors don't really have names.. Just numbers and finishes. lol. But here you have it, I shall name thy Ivory Pearl. lolz. Nezumi found this one and thought it was really pretty. The swatch is gorgeous as well and it'll do great for a party-highlight or a pin-up-look, I reckon.

#428 - I'M SINGING MY BLUES

Omg me and the names.. Maybe I wasn't cut out for being the make-up-namer-person. (cupcakes for whoever catches the Big Bang reference) OH well~ A gorgeous, dark, mysterious blue. I loved the swatch but also didn't really like it at all. I don't know.. I was drawn to this one somehow.

#454 - THAT TAUPE YO'

Haha omg. I need to stop. Good thing I didn't buy any more shadows.. Maybe INGLOT should indeed consider hiring me, huh? (just kidding... maybe.. l0lz) Anyway, I love my taupes and this is such a light, mild, almost angelic color. As you can see from the swatch the pearl sheen is just.. perfect for this.

^__^) / that's not all btw..

Now.. I didn't only go to INGLOT. I had a gift card to Matas as well (I've told you about Matas before. Spelled backwards it's awfully close to Satan and that is no coincidence. Probably the shittiest, most overpriced drugstore in the universe with the most idiot sales personnel (who happen to know NOTHING about ANYTHING) and they probably would also take the crown for having the least useful sales as well. They should hire me, I swear. Then at least SOMEONE would know wtf she's selling to people. m(__ __)m) /le head desk

Anyway, 15 bucks worth of gift card! TO MATAS IT IS THEN~  -sways- I wasn't sure what to get to begin with.. I wanted to try the new Garnier BB Cream that's been all over Facebook lately, and seeing it was 4 bucks off - I got it. I got the color 02 Light. Apparently they only had two shades at the store I went to.. O_O" not a wide range, now is it, Garnier? Dumb punch for you! /le smacks with chopsticks. The Medium seemed way too dark.. Even the light one is dark, but when blended it looks quite nice ^__^)/ I'm gonna do a review if you want me to? Lemme know!

ANYHOOZLE~ I wanted a new base coat as well. Essie makes the ridge filler that I LOVE and use quite often.. wearing it as part of my fugly French manicure as I'm typing this up, listening to FT Island (..♫ yurameite kirameite FLOWER ROOOCKKK!!). Anyway, not important. lol. Omg look at me ramble.. I'm tired okay! T__T; Anyway, they make my fav. ridge filler that I've been using for like.. 2-3 years now.. Love that shit! So I figured.. why not try their hydrating base coat? I wanted a new base coat PLUS the weather lately's been insanely PMSing like I don't even know, causing my nails to crack and go all crispy :C boo! So yeah.. Gonna give this a try! You don't wanna know what I paid for it.. I'd like to think that I paid full price for my nail polish remover and bb cream (that were both on sale anyway) and then got the $15 discount on this one, only paying $5.50 for it total. >__>" yeah let's just pretend that Danish prices are fair. lol.

Hope you enjoyed my haul guys!

Let me know if you want me to review the BB cream!

Until next time! ^__^)/  

MUCH LOVE

Hey you, with the white hair!

Yeah, so... ~ I'm back?

I've been contemplating.. discussing with my inner self whether to fill you guys in on the shit that's been going down lately, causing such a long hiatus from me. I'm sorry about that... Sorry about the absence, not saying anything anywhere about why I'm not around. The messages I got from concerned followers made me extremely happy. To think that people actually like my blog enough to wonder where the heck I'm at and why I haven't been active for so long.. To those of you who wrote to me (on Facebook, FORMSPRING and even irl) - thank you so much! (^__^)/ ~ ♡
February sucked MAJOR ass for me. Stress, death, school, Korea-trip, family issues, personal issues, financial issues. Just problems and issues and absolute shit all-together. I've been trying to focus on surrounding myself with friends, keeping busy - hence my absence from Blogger. If you follow me on TWITTER, you've probably seen my random updates and convos with people here and there. I'm really truly sorry for any concern that I may have caused - I'm alive and I'm okay. So please don't worry ^__^)" To make it somewhat up to you guys, I bring with me tons of pictures. So this entry will be EXTREMELY PHOTO HEAVY. Excuse that. lol. Now let's see what I've been up to for the past month's time..

The Korean Embassy donated these kpop calendars for us ^__^)/

School started, and I gotta say that I love school! We had an exam yesterday and I highly doubt that I aced that one, but I'm doing alright, I guess. Classes are a great mix of knowledge and hobby. I'm not quite sure how to put it, but oh well..

We celebrated Hongki's birthday.. I mean uhh.. had a very serious movie-night at uni yesterday. Hurr hurr.. it was awesome. We watched the Chaser (which I've watched before..) and then some other movie about some South Korean dude going to Yanbai (or some Chinese town) for archaeology and shiz, and then some girl from North Korea goes there too. I didn't stay that long, so I didn't watch it all.

I also helped Nezumi dye her hair back to blue.. She missed her blue hair tremendously and so she tried out another dye that she got on eBay. When it arrived - MORE HONGKI. lolz. The dying thing was 3 weeks ago. T__T sorry.

What else.. OH. I got new sneakers from eBay, a new backpack (I got the North Face one cause I'd like to think that I'm SOMEHOW supporting Big Bang by doing so.. lolz) and some makeup! GOSH was having this 50% off sale at the local Matas, so of course I took Nezumi with me and went nuts! It was epic!

I got two nail polishes (dark blue/purple and black), two eyeshadows and two liquid eye liners. ^__^)/ the gold one is GORGEOUS btw. And I love the shadows. Didn't wear anything but the polishes yet.. Love the black one!

Riz Raz for lunch ^ duck for dinner v

My dad came to visit around early February. The timing was great, cause he arrived on the 8th and I had just been told that a really close family friend had been murdered on the 6th. He took me to dinner at a colleague's house and then the next day he took me to lunch with Nezumi ^__^)/ thanks dad! It was awesome! He was great to talk to (with the tragic events that happened that week) so I was so relieved to see him again. I also went home the weekend after to spend time with family. I had a great time and I did take some pictures.. but they're for me "^__^)/ kekeke.

As said earlier.. Surrounding myself with friends. It's been a really hard time for me lately, but spending time with friends, watching movies, having fun all in all - has been extremely good for me tbqh. This is Jonathan (aka. 천찬씨) and Nezumi over for dinner this week. /le hugs everyone

Speaking of great friends.. I never got to show you this! My hyung-whore apprentice (kekekeke), Dev, got me all the f(x) albums for happy-any-day-of-the-year-day (she doesn't celebrate Christmas) so I was SO DAMN EXCITED about that! I already went through all the photo books drooling over everything. hohoho. Thanks love ^__^)/

If you're on tumblr or just generally active online a lot, you've probably heard about ACTA. I went to the anti-ACTA demonstration in Copenhagen on the 25th of february (last weekend) and MY FUCKING GOD there were so many people.

I think we ended up being over 15.000-20.000 people! Even the news and shit were there, even though they'd refused to talk about ACTA at all. As most other countries in Europe, the ACTA-deal has been kept a secret to the public which is against the Danish constitution - and therefore we're all pretty damn pissed. lol. FUCK YOU ACTA ~(^3^)/

On my way home from ACTA, I snapped this AMAZING sunset. Even though we're in troubled times, life goes on. It's weird how nature stays beautiful, no matter how terrible humans behave themselves in the world. Food for thought, I guess. I wouldn't dare take this life for granted, that's for sure!

A few days ago I went out for dinner at this Indian place. We were quite a few people there, just getting together for the heck of it. The waiter was first super annoying, but then flipped 180 and ended up giving us a lot of free drinks and stuff. ^__^) yay for that! The food was mediocre.. and their menu had quite a few Engrish things on there ; D it was pretty funny! Hurr hurr~

What else.. uhm.. Oh yes! Went for Chinese food yesterday with some friends (Nico, Jonathan, Kat and Dev). It was pretty good! We went to Restaurant Beijing (Strøget) if you're interested.. ^__^)/

We're getting closer to the end, hoho! Are you still with me? I took this picture on my way home on the train the other day..  I really like rain (most of the time).. To think how it just softly falls on our heads, on the ground just washing away all the old leaving the air so fresh and rain--y.. I dunno. lol. But I really like it.

Finally. The end. This is bleach box-dye from today, as Nezumi helped me fix my roots before coming along to the mall. We went to Fisketorvet Shopping Center in Copenhagen and MY GOD were there a lot of weirdos out today. Or well, not weirdos.. Some of them were weirdos. People STARED like FUCK at me. Some young girls in cosplay who sat next to me and Nezumi first talked about how epic my shoes were (I wore the red ones above) as I passed by, then one of them (according to Nezumi) said "OMG I KNOW HER!" and shortly after Nezumi and I got our food, we sat down.. one of the girls then went "You mean HER?" and pointed RIGHT at me. 3 seconds passed and then she went "Hey you.. with the white hair. You're cool! I like you!"... I almost choked on my french fries... lol. It's nice of people to say things like that, but I'll honestly never get used to it, even though I've had it happen quite a few times. On the way home from Jeongie's (I went to get my raclette back xD finally.. after 3 months. lol) some girl kept staring at me. Nezumi takes the train a station further than I do, and she just told me earlier that those girls kept staring at me after I got off the train O_O lolz. I guess people like white hair or something...? /le hides.

Btw.. I got this varsity jacket from H&M at the mall (I might go back next week and get the blue/gray one too) ^__^)/ I also got a birthday card and present for my momma! My parents are coming soon to help me move! I GOT A PLACE TO LIVE! YAY ~(^__^)~ it's a small apartment, a bit expensive for what you get, but it's all there is and I'm content with it. So whatevs. I'll show you guys around after I move!

Thanks for reading! Sorry for the long entry :C Just wanted to update you guys a bit.. Sorry again for the creepily long hiatus. I know that I freaked a few of my readers out.. SORREH. /le hugs everyone.
Love you all! Thanks for sticking all this out with me ^__^)/ Will work on becoming a better blogger! I just need photoshop for my macbook -__-" Btw.. excuse the current ugly-ass layout. lol. I'm working on a new header! Expect springy-summery layout up soon! YAY! ^__^)/ the weather was great today, so I'm feeling good.

TTYL! MUCH LOVE <3
