I am sorry that I still have not got the chance to write about my skin care products...

Still don't have the time, because I work six days a week.

But I will try to do it this Monday ^.^b

I have an early birthday present from my dearest boyfriend o^O^o

He bought me Liz Lisa mini white cotton skirt and Floral off shoulder top.

So delighted I cannot stop smiling. Although I have not yet received, because he is still in Japan.

But, I have found the picture of the garments, so here it is! <3

(the top is on the girl on the right hand side)

Isn't cute! I love it! cannot wait to wear it this summer. Unfortunately Australia is still in winter, but I am glad I got the latest fashion in my hand.

Floral dresses, top, skirts.
Vintage Sabo sandals.
Can Can Straw Hats.
and many many more...

Well today I bought several things... (naughty naughty naughty)

I bought a beautiful polka dots Confetti Collision Socks from Alannah Hill, Miss Chi Chi Eau De Parfum Spray, Miss Chi Chi pale pink socialite lipstick and few other things but, those were the highlight of my day!

Alannah Hill Socks...

Chi Chi Eau De parfum (I received a free pink soft bathrobe with it!)

It smells so good...

Sweet like candy, makes me want to eat it! when you spray this parfum on your body, it makes you want to party. It is so fun!

What I love more about it is that, it is Australian Owned, Australian made and only tested on family & friends (not animals).

Now... The free soft pink bathrobe <3

I had to cover my face with the camera phone, because I didn't have any make up on... lol! >.<

I am also wearing the pajamas that I bought in Japan from Body Focus in Shibuya. It is so soft and cute (it has mini love hearts on it <3)

I am going to go to bed now... I cannot believe I have work on a Saturday...

No rest for the wicked!

Hisashiburi~! (It's been a long time~!)

I have been so so so lazy since I came home from Japan...

Motivations gone out the window~! Bad girl, bad girl, bad girl.

Every time I wanted to write something, nothing came out, which is why I have not written anything... yet...

Well... apart from all the rain we have been having here in Sydney, I have been focusing on which university I would like to attend to do Bachelor of Arts majoring in Journalism and Language. Of course Japanese will be the chosen language I would like to study and the reason I want to do journalism is because I want to become an Editorial stylist one day. Hopefully this will happen in 5-6 years. 

I have been working very hard at Fashion Industry for 2 years as junior assistant of a designer company, it is nothing glamorous but its a stepping stone towards what I want to do.

So... 2010 fashion: Floral and French Marine looks are very in at the moment. 

Colourful Tights and short lace socks

Flower headband and hair clip.

Dolly make up

Can Can Hats (I have four >o<)

Floral Basket

Braids on Hair

Floral Scarves

Cowboy Boots

Stripe dresses, jumper, t-shirts and jackets

and many many more, will write in detail very soon and will include pictures.

Next blog I will also write about skin care products that I use. 

But for tonight, goodnight.

These are pictures taken today <3

Outfit that I wore in the picture:
Black Tights
High Waisted Pants
White lace Camisole
Floral dress (it is tucked in under my short)
Cami o Necklace
Flower Hair Clip
Charmant Khaki boot (although you cannot really see it)

It has been a while...

JAPAN

Arrived in Japan about 2 days a go!

So in love. I don't want to go home.

On Saturday:

I have been exploring Yokohama area, It is soo nice.

Eda is a countryside town, so clean and peaceful!

Yokohama city, very crowded!! >.< I couldn't even take photographs because I couldn't even move!

IT WAS SO PACK!

Although I managed to take a few shots at Senta Kita. 

We went for a walk along the river and saw a family turtle! 

It was soo cute!

I have spent soo much money only in 2 days >.< I need to control!

excessive buying! not good not good!

We spent almost 3 hours at DONKEY HOTE

It was huge and has lots of random things lol!

Then we went to Sakuragicho, where the big themepark in Yokohama.

We went on the Giant Ferris Wheel and Ghost Train >.<

I got scared.

Tsugu chose the extreme scary ghost train... 

I must say I have to put my hands together for Japanese ghost...

CUZ THEY ARE SCARY!

After Sakuragicho we went back to Yokohama and ate dinner.

Chinese Food!! SOOO YUMMY

But one dish was a little bit spicy!

Chilli TanTanmen

But, it was still delicious.

We ate some Tayaki (cake in a shape of a fish with beans or other stuffing)

We wanted to do karaoke, but it got really late, it was already midnight. 

Surprisingly there was still million people about!

But, we wanted to catch the last train back to Senta Kita.

We got home around 1- 1.30 am

Sunday morning we went to ride bicycle to OKmart.

We bought random yummy Japanese Food!

Oh well... Im going now... cant be blogging all the time!

IM IN JAPAN! 

Delighted.

Tomorrow Japan! <3

I have been waiting for this moment in a long time! Now it is finally here!

I cannot wait to see my baby tomorrow night!

I have finished packing yesterday! phew it was a job! but I managed to fit all my clothes, make up, hair straightener and shoes into one of those Country Road bag! I weight myself, which was 46kg ^o^v and then with the country road bag it was 51 kg ^_^v so only about 5 kg! on the way home I will carry it as a carry on bag! so... practically my suitcase is completely empty!

SHOPPING TIME!

SHIBUYA 109 HERE I COME!

Girls dream come true!

Hopefully I have enough Okane~! (money)

I will be on the plane really early tomorrow! so I have to sleep early tonight too! 

What a bliss! I cannot wait!~ It's going to be awesome!

I wish I could stay longer.. but, rent, work... etc...

not enough money T_T (at time like this I really wish I live with my parents!)

No being independent is the best! you learn to rely on yourself!

Ciao Australia for 2 weeks and 4 days! <3

What I ate today:

Foot long meatball subway 

Water!

Busy Busy Busy

Wow today was probably the most busiest day off I've had in a long time.

Woke up at 9.00 am in the morning... (it is not that early, but it is early for me!)

Went to 50,000 Foreign Exchange teller in the city! found the best one! KVB Kunlun is definitely a good one! google it, you will find where it is located :D

Although I should have exchange it last week cuz it was higher, from 85.05 yen per dollar to 83.73 yen per dollar...
I supposed it is not that bad.

Anyway went to print out stuff at internet cafe! So, to conclude today was a boring day but, quiet productive.

My biggest problem now is packing, I don't know what to take! hmmm... 3-4 set of clothes or 1-2 set of clothes. I don't want to not have anything to wear when I get there lol

I will be shopping but definitely not straight away!

anyway soo tired today, I better be off to bed now! Tata

My room light was bad, also is my phone camera's graphic is bad too! >.<

Sorry for the messy room picture, Off overseas soon so I can't be bothered to clean up lol!

Goodnight 

What I ate and drank today:

Ramyun Kimchi Noodle with egg

Light 'n' Tasty berry cereal and yougurt

water

chai vanilla late with honey

chocolate

Counting Down...

It is exactly one week till Japan! I am absolutely ecstatic!

I cant even fall asleep anymore... seems like forever to Friday 23rd of April!

Today I worked and it was boring... nothing exciting happen. When I got home I ate cereal... I know ay... you would probably think, ewww! cereal for dinner. Well... I don't care what you think, it was yummy! ^^ and I cant be bothered cooking.

I used to love to cook. Once upon a time when I used to live with my boyfriend... now he's overseas, its too sad to sit on the dinner table alone! so I decided to have TV/DVD to entertain me while I eat.

After Dinner I did not do much at all! I was playing guitar, reading a book, browsing the net and then now I'm talking to my baby boy, who is as excited as I am!

Photos of the day:

Yeah okay I look like crap in all of them, but, hey this is a blog right... so, I suppose you show your ugly face every now and then, how charming I'm in my PJ! I should have paint a cartoon to censor my face... yeah... like many people do when they do a blog and they don't have make up on or they have a zit they want to hide... lol well I should really talk to my boyfriend on skype now! 

GOODNIGHT! 

What I ate and drank today:

Cereal and vanilla yogurt

Rice with Chinese sausage and scramble egg

Water

More cereal... and more vanilla yogurt

My life is a Cereal!

 

So...

So yesterday, or shall I say this morning slept at 3 am o.O why Diah WHY?!

So... woke up at about 8.30 am, tired as hell! I went back to sleep! woke up again at 9 am to wake my baby up on Skype. I wanted to go back to sleep but I was scared that I might not be able to get up and late for work!

So, got up, had a shower bla bla bla you know the usual girly thing!

I was lazying around, before I know it, it was time to go to work!! Ran out the door! Didn't get to eat breaky! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! T.T

Then I forgot my train ticket in my jeans pocket! >.< So I had to go back to my apartment and get it again...
and... I live on the 8th floor, such a bad luck! Anyway missed the express train!!

 (manage to take a photo cuz the train was empty)

So I had to catch a non express which smells like pee >.

I got to work in time though, that was the good thing!

Work was sooo quiet, untill last minute before I close the shop, a lady came in and spent 30 minutes! >.< GO AWAYYYY!!! I want to go home, too tired for people like you!! GRRR!

So in conclusion, I was not in a very good mood today! Although the weather was beautiful... but, too bad I'm at work!

What I ate and drank today:

Light 'n' Tasty Berry Cereal with Vanilla Yogurt Milk (at work)

Veggies Chips mmmm.... 

Apricot coated with coconut!

Lightly Sparkling Mount Franklin Spring Water ( it was new so I had to give it a go!)

Easy way Warm Taro Milk Tea (made by Lisachan ^^v) hohoho

Dinner (not yet eaten... undecided... perharps natto)

Time to sleep...

So much for going to sleep early...

I don't do beauty sleep too well!!

goodnight everyone...

its getting cold lately... current temperature is 13...

cold weather has arrived!!

Overworked out...

I went for a 2 hours gym session today! OMG I swear I think I cannot move my legs any further!

I did 2.5km on the treadmill! Jogging all the way non stop!
I went on the bike and did 8.7km, I think my legs just gone all shakey after that!

After that...

Steps
Weight
Sit ups
Stretches

Two Hours later...

I drank 3 bottle of 600ml of water!
I'm pretty proud of myself!! Yay! my tummy is quiet flat now! healthy diet and exercise does the tricks ^_~!

My goal weight is 44-42kg currently sitting at 47-46kg!! getting there! I was 54kg!!!

Tips:
Eat plenty of breaky!!! your metabolism goes crazy fast in the morning! so pretty much you can eat anything, but please be healthy if you do want to lose weight! I recommend muesli cereal with light soy milk!! and fruits! Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries for antioxidant!

Lunch!! some yummy salad! Greek is the best! because it is yummy and low fat! for those of you who love meat, get some chicken ceasar salad or go subway sandwich!! only 6grams of fat per 6inch subs!

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!!

I don't if this work for everyone! but, stay standing up for at least 30 minutes after you eat! your body will process the food better this way... but thats only in my theory! (actually my best friend told me this ^.~!)

Dinner, I don't usually eat much dinner! instead of rice now, I eat vermicelli noodle with Natto (Japanese sticky fragmented beans) yeah I know its disgusting for many people, but I learn to love it! because believe it or not, it keeps your skin young and prevents blood from clogging up, so you'll have less risk of having heart attack... please I read this somewhere, not my theory, so maybe it doesn't work.. but, from what I heard its very healthy! I eat kimchi aswell and miso soup with spinach.

I don't eat much at dinner, sometimes  if I'm still hungry I indulge on fruits such as watermelon and I drink plenty of water. Keeps me out of hunger!!

I do eat chocolate! I cannot live without chocolate! Ladies it is good to eat on moderation, like everything else!! don't eat it too often, if crave, then eat... don't binge!

I'm off to Japan in about 1 week and 3 days!! SOOO EXCITED TO SEE MY BABY!
I haven't seen him for 4 months! (long distance sucks!) I don't like it!

But he bought me tickets to come to see him!

Some serious shopping to do! SHIBUYA 109 HERE I COME!!!!

me in my PJ's peace out! got to love the Japanese peace pose!! ^.~v

My Yukata!!

My baby has bought me a pink floral Yukata, It is 100% cotton. Sooo nice :D

I have not yet tried it, because it is still in Japan, I will soon upload a picture with me in it ^^b

It has a pink Obi and it comes with a fan. :D

Here is what it looks like...

No Flowers No Life

Today's photos...

I love sleeping

Beauty sleep.

I at least want to sleep 9 hours per day (never happens)

This is my problem, everytime I tell myself that I should sleep I stay awake!

I love my bed, favorite place in the world, but I don't get to lie in it too long, I sleep only about 4-6 hours per day. Hope it doesn't effect me too much hehehe!

When I sleep I always have a Teddy name "Kay" I wont sleep unless his around!

He's T-shirt says "I love you"

He was a gift from My Baby!

Well time to sleep now, goodnight...

Peace 

My room, My artistic Domain!

I recently have decorated and rearranged my room!! I am obsessed with white lace, knitted cover cushions, flowers, candles and arranging my accessories so that they are being display neatly in my room, or should I say that so I can find it! >.< I have been quiet messy and its hard to find things!

                               Riccadonna Asti Italian Wine
                               Many more...

Where I tuned out for the day, I read, sing, write, play guitar and eventually fall asleep there. I have Rose scented candle burning there, smell so sweet! (please dont leave it unattended, becareful not to burn your house down! hehehe!)
