Dentist

Went to the dentist yesterday~~
Scary ! 
> _ <

I had an x-ray and check up over a month ago
Because I noticed a little weird black spot on one of my tooths
I was so stressed about it. . when I went, they said it was a cavity~
oop. There was also another one hidden. .
I told them I hadn't been in 6 years. .
They were like, eh???
I was expecting it to be worse though. .
Only two cavities and a basic cleaning needed ~!

I had my appointment on February 15th
and didn't schedule another one til the 29th of March !
I think waiting was the worst part. .
I forgot what it was like going to the dentist~
I have been so sososo scared and stressed 
My appointment was early in the morning and I didn't sleep~
When I went there, they sent me in right away~
I sat in the chair and right away they numbed me up. .
It wasn't bad at all though~
He said I'd feel a poke but I honestly didn't feel anything
if anything, being numb was really uncomfortable ~!
They left me there for about 10-15 minutes as it worked
My fists were clenched the whole time. .
But when it started, I couldn't feel anything~
so I just closed my eyes through the drilly bits ~!
It was actually quite quick.. felt like five minutes at most.
My cavities were somewhat small and on the surface. . and it was done~
Then immediately after, I got a cleaning. .
Honestly that was the worst part ~!
It felt like he was trying to scrape off the top of my teeth !
They were all extremely friendly though so it helped a bit. .
I'm sure it could have been worse and I've been decent at taking care of it
If anything, it was all something that was long overdue
and now I'm glad I got it taken care of

Went to Goodwill the other day~!
And thrifted all of these cute shirts.
I think I got lucky because there was lots and lots of cute things 
I think all the cute clothes may reside in the smaller section~
I don't look at bottoms though since I feel weird trying them on. .

But these are really cute and nice 
The heart print top is lovely and my favourite and from forever 21.
I got them for 5$ which is great. .

Also found this cute little pikachu plush backpack there for 3$
At first I didn't want it, but it tempted me~!

I also got these things at target~
A cute magnetic notepad with a bow on top
and a pack of hello kitty playing cards for a dollar each
Also, got this glittering egg kit for 2 $
I hope it will be nice. .
I will post pictures of finished product after Easter ^ _ ^

This is what I've bought in the past week. .
Plus some other stuff I will post about seperately~!

So much snowing outside~
I hope by the time it's April it's warmer outside,
I miss going outside and being able to walk out. .
I can't handle the cold weather~

In the meantime. .
I am trying to get into better shape by warmer season~
so I can wear cuter clothes with confidence !

I am doing some strength and cardios for an hour a day !
I hope that I will feel better and stronger 
It's really hard and tiring at first. .
and I really want to give up !
but it becomes easier every day
so if someone else wants to get into shape too ^ _ ^
that's a good motivator ! it will become easier over time~
the first days are the worst . . 

I need to be more careful with my eating. .
I carefully track calories and weigh the things I eat !
I am also drinking lots of green tea as well . .
and lots and lots of water~

Anyways, I guess that is just an update of me.

Random Ayu Song of the Day [Remix]

[Talla 2XLC remix]

We catch sight of, find, grasp 
We stare, entranced, fulfilled, but

We look up, catch sight of, compare, and then 
We belittle, become confused, let go

Because all of us, everywhere, are connected 
Even you, who are thinking about these words

Someday we'll fall into an eternal sleep 
How many precious words will we have exchanged by then?

We catch sight of, find, grasp 
We stare, entranced, fulfilled, but

We look up, catch sight of, compare, and then 
We belittle, become confused, let go

Because all of us, everywhere, are connected 
Even you, who are thinking about these words



Ipsy March 2013

The time of the month again~
I received my package on the 11th which was good for this month
March feels long so it'll be awhile until April bag

Everything that came in the bag this month.
When spoilers first came out in late February people really seemed to love the bag and I did too~ I was hoping for a cute nautical theme and it seems the theme of this bag was "vacation getaway". The spoilers came out pretty fast and we realized we were only getting four items (though it is truly five). I notice the value of the bag is quite a bit lower than the last couple of months but can't expect perfection everytime. Though most of this bag doesn't appeal to me, it gives me something new to try at least. I don't also go into it for purely the value anyways. It's just that Ipsy has one of the best values usually and if they don't hit the mark everytime, I'll just hope next month is better~

The bag was truly my favourite thing. The past few months were monotone colours but this is a cute navy blue anchor themed bag. The texture is a little strange because it's not clothy.  It feels like the texture of a raincoat. This would be a perfect little bag for going to the beach~ The ipsy logo is also on the inside.

♥ GlamRX Mini Freestyle Palette [Mini Size | Value ~8$]
The first thing in the bag and the first spoiler, I believe, was this GlamRX palette. When spoilers first came out everyone thought it was a Zpalette but they quickly revealed it was this. It was a lot smaller than I imagined, it is about the size of a credit card. I think the design is really cute however and it will be something to stick into the bag. I just don't really use that many depotted things so I don't know what I will put in there. Someone suggested bobby pins but I can't imagine fitting more than a few in there. I just wish the Coastal Scents eyeshadows we received last month could go in there but people have said they're not magnetic and are difficult to take out of the case. It can be done if you buy seperate magnets but I am too lazy to do such things now. ;p At least for the second item, they sent two little shadows that were meant to go in this so it isn't so empty anymore. I just don't know what else I'll put in there yet~

 Yaby Eyeshadow Refill in Sand Dune and So Vain [Full Size | Value ~6.30$]
Two yaby eyeshadow refills we received this month. Everyone was pretty excited for this brand since swatched made it appear to be really pigmented but unfortunately that is not the case with these. They are still decent quality and very soft and pretty colours but it doesn't transfer to my eyes as well. I'm happy I got this colour combination though, the turquoise is beautiful and will make a fantastic eyeliner colour. The sandy colour appeals to me somewhat and it's very neutral. The other options were two pinky mauvey type colours. These shadows were a lot tinier than I imagined as well, especially since they are full sized.

 Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist [Sample Size | Value ~3.50$]
 LA Fresh Travel Lite Makeup Remover [Travel Size | Value 2$]

The final two things in the bag were skincare items. The make-up remover wipes are really small and you only get 8 in this travel size. Many seem to really love this brand but I don't really see this as worth it because I just use baby wipes I can buy from the store for 80 to a dollar. They come in a convenient little bag that will fit easily in a purse so maybe if I need it one day while traveling~

The other item was a hydrating mist. I'm guessing it is supposed to be like a toner since the directions state to spray it on a freshly clean face.It was a bit scary to spray this on my face since it didn't seem very misty and the spray came jetting at my face. I didn't notice much when I used it but it does have an awful smell to it. It is overtly floral and kind of stung my face a little bit.  The plus side is that this sample is a great little size.

The value itself was almost 20$ which is double the value for the amount paid which isn't bad at all. Unfortunately, this bag is a bit of a miss for me. I'm not really impressed by most of the items whereas the other months were really fantastic. It's not enough to get me to unsubscribe though because I still think it's a great and cheap subscription box that gives you a good value for your money. Though most of these items don't appeal to me, I will surely find some use out of them and maybe one of them will impress me later. For now, the best thing in the bag was the actual bag itself. 

I'm looking forward to next month~

Idol Birthday [Fukuda Kanon | Oda Sakura]

Happy 18th birthday Fukuda Kanon~!
I remember when she was an egg and had a somewhat debut in Shugo Chara Eggs. Most people noted when she looked like a mini Aibon and I thought her voice and her look was extremely cute. As she has developed through Smileage, she has really grown up over the years and has become even cuter~ 

Kanon covers Fujimoto~
Aenai Nagai Nichiyoubi



 Happy 14th birthday Oda Sakura~!
She has just been recently added to Morning Musume and though I don't know too much about her yet, her deep and powerful vocals are nothing to be messed with. She is one of the future powerhouses of Momusu and I'm looking forward to hearing more of her voice in the future.

Happy Birthday to these two lovely girls~

Resident Evil 5

Bought two of these copies for 4$ each yesterday~
It was on sale and looked to be a good price. .
I installed it and Games for Windows Live was pissing me off . __ .
Took forever to get an account started because it kept erroring me~

It was fun. .
I remember preordering it a few years back when it came out and being somewhat disappointed in the game but mostly from a storywise outlook. I finished it in one day and I wanted mooore answers. Co-op is fun however and that's the only reason I got it. 

Computer controls are somewhat wonky and take time getting used to. I've been playing Saints Row too long that those controls are burned into my fingers so it is difficult to get used to other ones.

Overall it's fun and I'm a fan of the Resident Evil series so I'm happy to own it~
Hopefully 6 has a good sale somewhat soon so I can play that one as well

Idol Birthdays

Happy Birthday Shinoda Mariko~!
She is now 27 and still the oldest girl in AKB48. She is the lone 1.5 gen member and also one of my favourite members. Her fashion and interesting style has always appealed to me and she is one of the funny and trolly members whom I always admired. Her personality mixed with her cool looks has always made her interesting and I can see why she is so popular. The way she cares for the younger members also warms my heart and though her time in AKB is probably not too much longer, I hope she stays for as long as she can. 

Evolution of Marikosama~




Also, it is graduated Momusu Linlin's 22nd birthday~!
Though she isn't an idol anymore, she was one of my favourite members so I'd thought I'd put her in here as well. She was always pushed back but her funny personality and her beautiful singing voice always caught my attention. Though most probably didn't pay attention to Linlin's great traits, she was always one of my favourites and her and Junjun's graduation, though expectant, still broke my heart. She is getting more beautiful by the years and her cosplay pictures are always nice to see~ I hope to hear music again from her soon because her voice is fantastic and she really shines.

Who can forget when this happened?? ^ _ ^
When we first get a real good listen at Linlin's vocals ! 

Linlin - For you !
Off of the Hello Project Marriage Album
I wish there was a performance of this song. . 

And finally. .
Watarasebashi Aya cover from Linlin for her graduation 
A great way to send her off.
 .

Aaah~ This reminds me of how much I miss Linlin~!
I hope she was very happy on her birthday
