Nagasaki Fashion edition

Posted by MoonB at 9:08 AM 0 comments
Well, looks like I had no time (well I did...but my bf's laptop was slow as hell) to update this blog with my fashion days when I went to Japan.
But now here are pics, sadly not full outfits since I didn't have a full mirror and I wasn't going to take pics of myself in public restrooms...


so here's most of my attire (All of my clothes came from either Wet Seal/Shasa/Body Central/ and Macy's)

Days 1-3 my bf's clothes due to not having my suitcase lol. Two wifebeaters with sweats.Lol kinda looks like the style from "Soul Sister"


Day 4
(Black vest, white fluffy shirt, with a black jumper suit underneath)


Day 4 revised
(black vest/white tank top/black jumper suit underneath with hat)


Day 5(White shirt, blue short jumper suit)


Day 6 White tank top/Black mesh dolman top/blue jeans


Day 8. yellow short sleeve peasant top, blue sailor pants




Day 7 supermarket wear: cut up sweat shirt, white tank top, grey sweats.

no make up or contacts, wee!!

yeah..this post sucks, but I decided when I go back to Japan, I will sitll be fashion conscious. So here we go fall! and back to loosing weight ( I gained 6lbs boo..)

GOTTA GET READY!!♫

Posted by MoonB at 4:20 PM 0 comments
Start the countdown, 5 days and counting!!
I almsot lost all of my weight(losing 8lbs is more ideal, but if I can shed these stubborn 5lbs off I'd be content), and I'am going clothes shopping tomorrow!!!



I've been looking at some Japanese fashion magazines, and
Boho is in!
since I'll be in Japan for 14days, I figure that I just need 14outfits which should be easy to acquire and not have me blow a lot of money.

Dress

Dress (see more maxi dresses)

I wanted this dress so badly!! but sadly its out of stock at UrbanOg...so I'am lookig for similar ones on other sites, but so far NOTHING! Okay well nothing like this.So I'am hoping they have it at the mall when I go shopping tomorrow.
Think I have no choice but to stick to Jcpenny's/Macy's(I have credit cards there) and yeah...limit my actual money at forever 21/Wet seal/ Charolette Russe/ and Shasa.

And I decided to buy another Yukata...(I now have 4..)


The other ones I had just looked too dull for the hairstyles I planned to wear.
My boyfriend decided he will buy one too when we go to watch the fireworks Sunday night. My issue so far is finding some geta.....the only site that could possibly carry my size is ,Mizutori/from Yesstyle.com
since I'am currently at work, its hard for me to read Mizutori's Japanese website, but I will inquire to see if they have a store in Nagasaki so I can buy them while I'am in Japan. I would've ordered them from yesstyle, but I'am hesisitant since I'am not sure if their LL size would really fit properly yes people..I got big feet!

And the second issue...wigs
yes Why in the world am I worrying about wigs? Well I tried on my Freetress Scarlet, the other day, but it looks way too brighter than the two Ozone wigs I was planning to wear T__T. Its too obvious..
So I think I'll just get 2 more wigs from the freetress line in the same colors so I can be like "I dyed my hair" pshh yeah right =p
But which colors..hmm well I still want to keep it dark, so I decided to stick to just plain auburnish colors, but when I switch up my wigs, they will have some blondish highlights that are more pronounced.


* Valerie actually is wearing the GF2/30/33 color



But thinking about it some more, even though I love angela's up do,I thought it would've looked great with my Yukata, I will just get Valerie and Berry becuase I don't like the coloring for angela in her GF2/30/33 format. And if I really like these wigs, I will purchase them at a later time in a blonder version( #G8643).
So I'll stick to Tiffany, Valerie, and Berry for the remaining days I spend in Japan.
I was going to order from Hairsisters, but their horror stories are scaring the hell out of me! Even though their site says their wigs are in stock, I don't know if they didn't update it to be sure. Its cheaper to go through them...IT SO FUCKING CHEAPER!But I decided to just order Giselle and Berry from beautyshoppers, and they should arrive by WED or Thursday.
I believe I'am set when it comes to shoes. I was going to buy some from Zappos,
and I still might just buy one pair I was looking at earlier, but I'am going to do my best tomorrow to go on the ground and search for some cheap/cute summer sandals.

So excited, yet my bank account hates me now, but it will look nice and full again by next week and by the 2nd week in August^^

update on life, recent purchases..and the dog!

Posted by MoonB at 11:45 AM 0 comments
So I got my golden blue nudy lens from HoneyColor.com!! And the verdict? They look just like my fresh look turquoise contacts when I took that picture of them. It looks alil freaky in my opinion, but I like how it comes out in pictures!! The olive wing series blue and violet are also cool, but I love the olive wing "blue" the most!!! It really stands out and just looks great with my natural hair color (Dark brown/reddish tint in sunlight=burgandy) or when I wear my dark(1b/2) color wigs!! I might invest in two more other contacts too...(I know I know..wtf am I splurging again?!)

I was looking at the old Adult series from EOS, and...thinking about getting them in "Blue" "Green" and possibly "brown"
Then the Angel Series from Geo(specifically blue)
Nudy Blue and the dolleye series from EOS brown(looks like a more effective version of the Olive Wing "brown"

But since I'm going to Japan in 3 weeks, I want to see if I can try to find these on the ground instead of paying a lot of shipping at other sites. Its always a win or lose situation with register airmail parcels.

So update


Now...back to...THE DOG!!
So we meet him on Sunday, and it was love at first sight!!! My father actually said "lets take him"!! So the verdict? DENIED!! Since we never owned a dog before, we were not the ideal situation for Bandit, and as much as it sucked to hear that, we understood what they were telling us in the end. So.....
WE GOT A PUPPY INSTEAD!! So I'm proud to welcome the new edition to our family

Kirara(kiki for shortyeah..I got the name from Inuyasha, SO WHAT?!)

She's 75% husky and 25% wolf(I don't see it..but her dad who is supposedly half wolf was freakin huge)
She has one brown eye and a blue eye "sorta like Bandit..but she's black/gray/white in terms of her color coating".
It took us 2 hours to get there due to bad mapquest directions, but it was worth it to be in puppy heaven!!! We met the puppies parents, and the father seemed very friendly..NOT to mention "HUGE!!" but the mom was so tiny in comparison.
So when I started playing with the puppies, all of them were cute, and we were really gunning for a male, but all the males didn't like being held except for one who started to warm up and be more playful towards the endKirara however stood out the most to us. She was very shy at first, but had no qualms about being held. When we saw her with her siblings she would be like a wall flower, but when provoked she was able to hold her own. We weren't ready to take her home just yet since we figured she'd be okay to go home when she was 8 weeks old (she was currently 6 weeks old),even though it seemed Kiki was more than ready! She was following my mom to her car when it was time to go lol. So we just did a down payment and will go to pick her up this Friday!!

I just hope she gets along with her big brother felix =)

And I discovered Oatmeal MAKES ME LOOSE WEIGHT!
BIKINI BODY HERE I COME!!

good news and not so good news?

Posted by MoonB at 5:08 PM 0 comments
So I spoke to my boss and I can have July 29 & July 30 off prior to my departure to Japan!!
This has me even more excited since Im now considering if I should leave that Thursday instead and surprise my bf at his restaurant!! But..I might not do this...cause I work that Thursday..and would have to rush home then rush to the airport....and I wanna look pretty...soo...NOT HAPPENING! But...the issue right now is ticket prices..
my bf will transfer the money to my account on Friday, but its like
I don't want to spend so much on a ticket (flying to Japan is no fuckin joke!! I remember only having to pay around $1,300 back in the day) but I'am alil wary now of buying these cheap tickets from cheapoair & onetravel. They're the only two sites I see that show cheap tickets to Nagasaki for around $1,600 but people always warn that they are not reliable!! I never had an issue with them when I booked a ticket before for Hisao back in 2010, but I dunno...*sighs* So should I spend alil extra for security or stress myself out till I'm actually on the plane cause my ticket went through? And its not like travelocity is a saint. I remember my horrible experience when I purchased my ticket, only to find out two months before I went to Japan, that it never went through! So I booked another flight(a couple of dollars extra) and what happens when I get to Haneda airport, taking my time to the check out lane at 6:15pm, cause my *new connecting flight didn't depart till 7:30pm? The ticket lady tells me my plane is to leave at 6:30 PM!! WHICH WAS MY OLD TICKET TIME!!! ARGH!! So yeah...just sorta weighing my options till Friday..

And now for the biggest stress of all....
Since I will be moving, I was talking to my mom about getting a dog for my dad since my cat will also be going with me. I don't want to talk about my family business on this blog...but lets just say, having a pet helps my dad, and with felix gone..I'm afraid it can throw him off. So I think a dog would be wonderful!! I was browsing online trying to get to this site, when I found this dog on this rescue animal website!!!


He's really beautiful,my friends say he looks evil, and his story made me really want to adopt him!When I read up on him , I found out he was saved after he was set to be euthanized at the animal shelter! I also read that he was due to undergo hiptransplant surgery yesterday, and he was up for adoption for over a year, so I really wanted to get him a home with my folks!! So far his profile said he was great with dogs and people, he's loveable, and very affectionate!! I already put in my application..and after impatiently waiting for a call, I called his foster care home and found out they were going to call me later tonight=/. I feel alil bad for going behind the rescue dog site, but he did have that extre info up...and said to contact him too sooOoo...not my fault?
Sadly the person's accent was too thick so I had a hard time understanding him over the phone so I had no idea what he was saying half the time....
All I could get from him was that

A)the dog would have to take medication for 3 months and that would cost $60
B)His owners abandonned him.
...I think he siad it was house damage related. But when I asked if that was the reason his nails were removed, he said no..so this leads me to the confusion of what did they disown him for??!
C)something else about costs which would cost $6,000
D)He's never lived with a cat before, so he's not sure how he'd act...

So yeah...not being able to understand his foster care dad was really pissing me off and stressing me out..so to me it felt like I came off as not caring or comprehending the responsibilities at hand. Its true I didn't comprehend the responsibilities, cause I couldn't understand what he was saying, but yeah..overwhelming!!
Regardless of how I came across, he agreed to meet with me on Sunday(I forgot if its this weekend or next weekend..but I feel it will be next weekend),sometime after 2:30pm...
Where?! I DON'T KNOW! THANKS AGAIN TO WONDERFUL ACCENT!! But he said I could e-mail him, and I will get the name of the place again....
My mom feels we can get the dog since she feels he's ready to get rid of him=/.
And then I feel bad for my mom..
at first she was like "sure" but now she's like "NOO!!..I DUNNO!?!"
Since I'll be gone for a year,or two..but now a days I wanna push it to a year, I admit thats a lot of responsibility or her...and I don't want to stress her out...so I plan to talk to her more tonight about her true feelings....
I just hope he can also bring the dog to my house so I can see if he growls and goes crazy if he sees felix or is nice and lovey dovey (okay I know lovey dovey is never gonna happen..but I would like to see how docile he is...with small animals)
The perfect scenario is the dog gets along with felix and vice versa, we leave for a year, come back, get a job in houston, live close to my parents, and take the dog back but let him sleep over with my folks every now and than for my dad..Or I move back in with my parents!! XD (my parents and I get along very well..so the need for my own space was never an issue)
And now im wondering if I should just get a puppy?That way Felix can whoop his ass into shape in terms of (IM THE BOSS)...but I really want to give this dog a home =(
Well we'll see what happens Sunday...



And weight update?...I hate my body...I gained back all the fat I lost in terms of muscle...LE SIGH!!!

Money makes the world go round(and here we go♫)

Posted by MoonB at 6:01 PM 0 comments
So I spoke to my accountant(mumsy) and it turns out I now have a $1500 spending limit on crap I want to spend on m'self in regards to saving up money for Japan.
So what does that mean?
I have to really think hard on what I want, and only purchase stuff I need...
I def need a laptop, so..
HP Garden dreams is a must but since I have a walmart credit card, I don't have to worry about paying it all in one sweep
Manga Debut 4: I can purchase later on....along with the wacom bamboo tablet before I leave.But debating if I should put this on my walmart credit card or bestbuy..
The circle lens I ordered The Geo nudy goldenblue ones from honeycolor.com still show they're being processed. Its been a week since I ordered them, sooo...if I don't hear anything by next week. PAYPAL DISPUTE!! And I'll just fedex them from Candylens.com. I should've learned from my old yukata dispute that express shipping with tracking is the best way to go for international stuff...le sigh
ClothesGlig Graphics
I still didn't loose all the weight I wanted to, and I will start the dunkan diet tomorrow...sOOoooo, I have to wait to see how my body shape changes.

Here's to loosing 15lbs in 45days
2 more wigs..(I decided when I visit this summer, that I will be rocking a color #33 wigs!)
So I will be wearing Miami/Cara/and Scarlett!! But I'd wear miami the first day, and cara or scarlett for date dates*




Plane ticket..........NOW THIS IS THE DOOZY! no boyfriend bashing, I promise
My boyfriend recently asked me how we were going to do the ticket thing. The options were A)I pay and he reimbuses me when I get to Japan
B) I have no idea what was plan B..but it did involve him paying for it alltogether...but he doesn't have a credit card....
If I want to go crazy on m'self...I dunno how I can purchase my ticket and buy stuff...I'd be broke till Augustplus I'm waiting to see when my boss would work on the July. She said she'd start working on it next week.Going with my intuition, I feel I will be working the last week of Saturday in July,or my boss could have me do two Saturdays in July making that weekend,I believe I'm off another 6day week. Ugh, as each day goes by, prices go up ($1,733!! LAST TIME IT WAS AROUND $1,650!)(T_____T) DAMMIT! I can go cheaper if I take a late flight, but I'd arrive in Japan on a Monday if I left on a Saturday(WTF!!??). I'm willing to go the cheap route if I can get that Friday off as well, but I dunno yet. Is there a silver lining in my suffering?YES! I can now spend more than 8days in Japan cause of my trip to NYC has been pushed back to September, but I'm sad to say I don't think I can see my friend Glo before she leaves for S.Korea. My mom doesn't want to drive up to for 5days.....ugh. So I have to try and arrange a date to visit her in Korea =(. I really wanted to hangout with my high school friends again together as a group....just hanging at mimi's house, ordering Japanese food from Saji's near Columbia University where they used Adobo from Goya in their seasoning!!Or atleast it tasted like they did whenever I ordered their katsudon!! And we'd just joke around scaring the hell out of Mimi's grandma....I miss those simple times, and it sucks I can't experience it one more time before I leave(unless I miraculously discover a couple of bucks so I can go away for the 4th of july weekend...)yeah...I'm in a funk mood now that I can't do this with my friends...



No more shallow talk. My friends mean a lot to me, and it hurts me to know that since I moved, we grew apart. But yet, if we hangout, all of those crappy emotions go away. Like,when I called Glo for her bday 2 weeks ago, the laughter and shouting...I felt like I was there..but not there.I have no idea what or how Mimi is, and I do speak to Gloria every now and then, but not so much since usually when I get home I start working out, and pass out and its the same for her. As for Mally and Andrea, we communicate better in person than on the phone/internet. I miss those crazy girls...


I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO REUNITE WITH MY FRIENDS BACK IN NYC!!

Birthday Surprise - Success- & minor random stuff

Posted by MoonB at 8:57 PM 0 comments
So my package has finally arrived in Japan!!
he's eating my cookies♥♥♥
and developed horrible stomach pains later resulting in him staying on the toitlet for 6hours...lol just joking


They tried to deliver it on Saturday, but Hisao was at work, so they re-delivered early in the morning on Sunday.
He was really surprised when he saw the note left from the Postman on his door! He tried to trick me saying there were terrorist threats at his post office but I tried to make him believe I didn't send him anything haha.
So he ate my horrible cookies infront of me and was really happy ^___^


now, back to me...
I tried getting a walmart card today and was denied in the store
There are only two reasons this happened:
1)I don't have enough credit cards to show I have good credit
2)The lady at walmart said sometimes chase blocks people from using them as a credit source..
yet I just tried to apply for it online, and I GOT IT!!
WTF?!
I should have my card in 7-10 days, and then I plan to buy my laptop, manga debut 4, and wacom tablet!!

I also decided to buy 3 more circle lens (or two...still iffy about a certain pair)
I was thinking for the longest time about getting violet contact lens...
so I was eyeing the Violet wing series



I think the violet would work well with my 33 color wigs, but then it was a tough fight between the Geo Nudy Series (Golden Blue & Blue)

My main thing is I kinda want the golden blue to still give off a blue feel...
in some pics it looks bluish and other times it looks down right grey/greenish...

If the golden blue can imitate my old fresh look turquoise contacts then I'd be so happy!!

I was also thinking of investing in Jillian Michaels 30day shred since I only have two my sessions with my trainerwhich I never re-scheduled due to a miscommunication mishap. SO far the reviews are really good, but I read it can fuck up your knees =X. I did one of her dvd workous before, and I did notice alil tone up in my legs, but stopped since I got bored doing the same shit over and over...
She claims I can loose 20lbs in 30days..so lets see...at this point, fuck weight, I wanna loose my inches!!!I wanna buy my summer clothes already!!!
