I know I fail really hard. I was supposed to follow a schedule and be a good onto-it blogger, but NOPE. Instead I got caught up with life the past fortnight and simply chose to ignore my little slice of the internet.
Straight up it's because I'm scared if I post pictures of myself I'll get hate. Since I've classified myself as 'gyaru' I'm worried about all the potential hate I could get from the gaijin gyaru community. Let's face it. You girls can be oh-so-catty.
But that video that Lizzie and Gal VIP have been talking about lately reminded me that gyaru fashion is about being happy. And the only person's happiness you have to worry about when dressing up should be your own. So you know what, I'll just post pictures of my fat butt (not literally my butt - okay?), and you can laugh at me, whatevs.

BUT FIRST.
Life Updates
1) Yesterday I jogged-walked (but mostly walked) a 5k with my current place of employment (Not supposed to say where, sorry!) for the Dunedin Hospital's children's ward :)
2) All the Christmas presents I ordered from Chrisco have arrived!
3) I gave the wrong address for my Taobao order, so it's not here yet. Still trying to sort it out with NZ Post. They said they'd call me, but they haven't. So I'll give them a call in an hour or so.
4) I finally have a camera! It's a simple point-and-shoot. But I adore it! :) It's a purple Panasonic Lumix, and it came with a memory card. YES.

5) I recently went to two good friends' 21st birthday celebrations! For one, we were pirates, and for the other it was totally chillax. Either way we had fun! And it was a great chance to reconnect with old friends from high school.
6) When I was a kid, I actually went to a Chinese school. I didn't take my Mandarin and Fookien classes seriously, so I failed in a major way. I didn't remember anything except how to write my own name. But I really do love Chinese culture, and I would really love to be able to speak Mandarin, so I'm trying to study it again! I'm going to try to make friends on italki and just talk and study my way into passable Mandarin. Here's to working hard and making new friends!
7) I am eagerly waiting to start working at the place I am not supposed to say I work at. It's a retail store! And I love their products! And my manager specifically told us to dress up! Which means I have every excuse to go full-on gyaru every time I have a shift. The stars have aligned for me, I tell you. :D

8) I am in love with our Xbox 360. I'm finally getting in touch with my console gamer side after having abandoned it for over six years.
9) Started spending more time with my family again. I still don't see them 'regularly', but it's way better than back when I was seeing them once a month or so even though they only live a bus ride away. Haha!
10) Last update is I'm seriously looking into traveling next year! I need to work hard and save smart for airfare and expenses, so I can revisit Singapore and the Philippines and check out Malaysia! More on that some other post. :)
Okay, now where are those photos I was talking about?
I think I'll save them for another post! This one's long enough as it is. Heehee!Love always,
P.S. I promise I'll post outfit photos next time!
