LOOKBOOK post #1

LOOKBOOK.nu is a website that enables members to publish and share looks as well as draw up-to-the-minute fashion inspiration for other members.

I've been a member of LB since October 4, 2010, but I don't post pictures there because I don't have anything to post! I only open LB when I want to browse and 'hype' some pictures of fashionable people like the ones I 'fanned'.

I've always wanted to post a look on LB, so I mustered up my courage to post my first picture!

It may be not as fashionable as the others, but still I was able to show my style to the world~ :D

Here are some other shots:

This is currently my header. Haha.

To the Beautiful You~

Title: To the Beautiful You

Genre: Romance, Comedy

Episodes: 16

Synopsis: The series centers on Goo Jae Hee, a Korean girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Kang Tae Joon. She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Korea to attend the same school that Tae Joon attends after he suffers an accident that could potentially end his career. There is a catch, however: Tae Joon attends an all-boys high school and Jae Hee must disguise herself as a boy to enter. (source: http://wiki.d-addicts.com/To_the_Beautiful_You)

To the Beautiful You, a Korean version of Hana Kimi, made me so happy to know that two of my idols are in this drama! <3 And I’m talking about Min Ho of Shinee and Sulli of f(x)! :D It is also where I met my one true love, Lee Hyun Woo~ (>///<) (If you haven't watched this, be careful of some spoilers)

Characters:

]

Choi Sulli as Goo Jae Hee

Sulli did a good job on her acting that I almost forgot that she's a Kpop artist. They made the right choice for making her play the role of Goo Jae Hee. She has such a cute face and looks like a bishounen with her boy-cut hair and boy clothes. And with all her clumsiness and her being a help-loving person, you'll never fail to love her.

Min Ho as Kang Tae Joon

As for Min Ho, he doesn't say much in this drama but his expressions shows what he wants to say. On the first part of the drama, his face always shows a grumpy expression but on the latter part, they'll make you melt with his puppy dog eyes and kid-like smile. <3

Lee Hyun Woo as Cha Eun Gyeol

Lee Hyun Woo! My love~ Why don't you just make your own show with only you in it?! ~(*A*~) I'd be really satisfied and maybe I'd go to heaven~  .... *zap* Oh. Ohhhhh. I'm sorry. I was trapped with my own thoughts. Going back to the topic, Lee Hyun Woo would never disappoint you in this drama, but instead the drama will. He sacrificed almost everything for Jae Hee and he was one of the last people to know that Jae Hee is a girl. He also smiles a lot. A lot. (Beware, you might die)

Told you.

This drama is so interesting to watch since both the protagonists are Kpop artists. I have no complaints on their acting because they played their roles very well. However, (yes, I actually have complains, but not with the actors) the story didn't really satisfy me that much. I have watched two other versions of this drama, Japanese and Taiwanese version, so I know which story is much better, and that is the Japanese version (which isn't surprising since this drama's story originally came from a manga). If it wasn't for the handsome actors and gorgeous actresses, I wouldn't have been really happy about the whole drama. Just kidding. Maybe it's just that I'm sad that Goo Jae Hee didn't end up with Cha Eun Gyeol. Ah, whatever. From the very start, Eun Gyeol didn't really have a chance anyway. Haha. 

uwu

In case you want to know what complains I have, first, what kind of girl who would cross over the seas and enter an all-boys school just because she wants to see her inspiration/idol? I. Just. Don't. Get. It. Maybe it’d be more believable if he was her one true love, but he isn't. Jae Hee only fell in love with him halfway the story. Second, why was Eun Gyeol one of the last people to know that Jae Hee's a girl?! On the other versions of the show, Eun Gyeol was the FIRST person to know that. He's my favorite character, so please just bear with me.

But, it isn't all that bad. (Thanks to the actors!) But no, really, the story is good; it's just me, being fussy. There are many scenes which are actually really funny, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of Seoul and hear some of your favourite Kpop songs.  But anyway, these are all just my opinion and I'm not a critique to say all of this anyway, so why don't you try watching the drama and tell me your own opinions? :D

Hoshina Utau of Shugo Chara Cosplay

I know I've posted something like this before, but I just have so many rants about this cosplay. First of all, maybe I'm regretting the fact that I even cosplayed her even though I really like her character. It's just because our personalities don't match and I think I'm not suitable to cosplay her. Second, is that my circle lenses are fail!! They are pink, but they're supposed to be violet. (I remember saying this in my past topic). I'm really careful when it comes to details that's why it made me dissapointed that I don't even have the correct lenses. And lastly, even though our personalities don't match, I know that I can just act like her but I just can't get the right poses and I end up smiling like an idiot in most of the pictures.

Like in this picture:

Like, what is this?! What is that kind, idiotic smile?!

Hahaha I don't even know what I'm doing here. All the shots were wonderfully taken by the photographers, and I end up ruining it. -_- It's not like I did this on purpose, I really don't know what to do at that time cos I wasn't mentally prepared. D:

Hmm. Maybe this shot is a little bit okay cos my face isn't really showing. Haha

It's not that I hated cosplaying Utau, I was really happy being able to portray her. The thing I'm not happy about, is that I didn't portray her character accurately. Maybe I'll recos her soon. :D

Posted this picture cos this is the only shot that looked like I'm really portraying Utau's chacracter. XD

Anyway, I'm really sorry for ranting this much just because I have so many dissapointments in cosplaying Utau. Forgive me TT^TT I just want to give her justice. But I certainly promise to recos her soon and I'll make sure that it'll be much better.

Go-gomen ne Utau-chan!~ TT^TT

Hahahaha Utau-chan kawaii ne~ <3

Anime theme songs

Me with my sis

Hahaha just saw this funny pic on Facebook. This is just SO true. :D

Whenever I watch a new anime, I always find their opening theme songs catchy and I just can't help memorizing the lyrics. It is true that sometimes I search for the lyrics on the internet, but most of the time I end up memorizing it because I don't fast-forward the opening theme song instead I sing together with it.

One of the opening theme song that I immediately memorized right after watching and listening it is "Catch you, catch me" of Cardcaptor Sakura. The music is so catchy and the lyrics were easy to memorize even though I don't understand most of it. Haha. :D But my favorite was "Sakura Kiss" of Ouran High School Host Club since it is the opening theme song of my favorite anime. XD

Hikaru! <3 >///////<

I don't really care if I can't understand the lyrics as long as I can sing it. Maybe one day I'd enroll in Nihongo Lessons just for the sake of understanding the lyrics (and maybe for the sake of translating raw updated manga chapters myself haha).

One Piece

To think that even though I've known One Piece since forever, but I'm only starting to read the manga now?! Now that it has more than 700 chapters?! Ugh. My life is overrr. I want to be updated so I won't be left behind. :(

I've watched some episodes of One Piece since I was a child and I liked it, but I was a super shoujo fan back then that's why I preferred to read manga and watch anime that falls under the shoujo category. Only now that I began being interested in reading shounen and since One Piece is on top of my list when it comes to shounen, I decided to read it first.

Almost died laughing^

I downloaded the first 200 chapters and I hope to finish it within a week. I really enjoyed it cos the story is really cool and it makes you laugh like an idiot. Hahaha. I'm regretting the fact that I never gave the chance to read it back when it has fewer chapters. D: But I won't give up until I'm updated like the others! :D 

And it actually has a new movie, and it's available here in our cinemas! But sad to say, I won't be able to watch it yet cos I won't get the story at all. *gotta be patient* DX

New Kicks

I mean, who doesn't looovveee Dr. Martens?

I know I do.

I've always wanted one, but we all know that the price is friggin' high. I also saw many imitations of it but they are still very expensive. But it so happens that me, with my sister, grandma, auntie and cousin went to SM Manila to watch "It takes a Man and a Woman" starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz yesterday.

After finishing the movie, we strolled around for a while and saw a 50% sale banner on a shoe store. I saw something that I liked but unfortunately, nothing fits me. Good thing is that, my grandma decided for us to look for more cheap but nice shoes at the department store. While looking around, my sister, Millicent Solon, spotted the shoes that I've alwaaaaays longed for! 

Do they look like Dr. Martens or what?

I'm one lucky gal to find this gorgeous and I'm definitely buying it! Or let my grandma, buy it.

And luckily, it's soooo cheap. It only cost us 800Php! Which is like, you can only buy Dr. Martens if you add another zero. They also come in two other colors which is black and orange, and they also have the floral patterned one.

I took so many pictures cos I'm really happy to get this rare find. <3

Oh, and if you're curious about the brand, don't ask me cos I don't know either. Haha! But really, no kidding, it doesn't even have a brand mark anywhere the shoe, nor the box. So I suggest, if you also want one and if you're a Filipino, just look for it at any SM Department store. ;)

Although, I'm a little bit hesitant in sharing this to all of you cos I want this all for myself . Bwahahahahaha

Cosplay~

I hardly ever post, since I use my free time to read manga.

So while I'm reading manga, we're gonna talk about Cosplay!

If you don't know what cosplay is, then you can get out of my blog. Now.

Nah, just kidding. :D

For those who don't know what cosplay is, search it on Google since I don't have the time explaining it to you guys.

As for me, I started cosplaying last April 10, 2010. But I've only had two cosplays and one original character since I'm not really rich to be spending money on costumes and stuffs.

Megurine Luka Sandplay Singing of the Dragon (Vocaloid)

My favorite picture of me cosplaying Luka. ;)

Hoshina Utau (Shugo Chara)

Close up~

Although I'm really happy that I was able to cosplay these two amazing characters, I'm still not really satisfied with how I portrayed them. :( On Luka, my CL are pink but they're supposed to be blue. And on most pictures, I look very uncomfortable and smiling like an idiot since my costume is a little bit misfitted. On Utau, my CL are pink but they're supposed to be violet. And on the pictures, I always smiled sweetly instead of giving a face that looks cool (since Utau doesn't smile a lot and she is kind of the antagonist).

So I have not yet given justice to these characters, and I hope to recos them again in a much better way.

Right now, I'm planning to cosplay with my sis (http://millicentsolon.blogspot.com/) on the 3rd Fantasy Quest this coming August. So we've got very little time to save money, but we're definitely not backing up since we've always wanted to cosplay again.

<3 <3 <3

JS Promenade 2013

So, last night was our last prom. </3

Being a Senior in high school, every moment of occasions like this should be cherished since it would be our last one. :(

Anyway, I thought this would be a boring one 'cos last year, I only get to do three dances but this time I even lost count on how many dances I did. Lol.

But what really made me happy was:

MY CRUSH WAS MY FIRST DAAAANCE!! <3

He went to our table and asked for my hand. At first, I stared at him blankly thinking that it was a dream. But it wasn't so, I grabbed his arm and we danced. <3 <3 <3

This was like an advanced Valentines gift to me!!

But the downside was, my friends only asked him to do this as a favor since it would be our last prom.:( Even so, I was so happy that I can die now. XD

When we were dancing, I can't even hide the humongous smile I was making. But hey, who wouldn't be happy if their crush asked them to dance?! (even though he was kind of forced to do this)

And what made it even awesome was that I found out that he was really sweet, charming and his voice was child-like. XD

It was my first time talking to him, so I wish we would be friends after this. :D

So, never mind the other dances. Lol just kiddin'. I want to thank all the people who asked me to dance, since you all became a part of my last JS Prom. :)

But there's also one thing that I would never forget.

My last dance was my best friend's crush.

Okay, so he was my ex-crush, so I asked my other friend to ask him if it was okay to dance me 'cos I want to be able to have even a bit of memory with him. And so, he said yes.

My best friend was like, raging. XD I know deep inside she was hurt, but hey, is her crush more important than her best friend? Hahaha, but I know I was the one in the wrong. Sorry. :*

So this other friend saw that my best friend was a bit dissapointed so he grabbed MY crush and let him dance with my best friend. He said that it would be a fair square. Lol wtf.

Even if our last dances were kind of mixed up, it was okay for me since she's my best friend. But still, FUUUUUU-. Hahahaha. Jk. :* I was still happy 'cos he was my first dance anyway. <3

And so, the night ended.

The end. <3

A new chapter

So this is my first post...

And I don't even know where to start with. ~(*A*~)

Anyway, hello! :D

This is me right here. v 

That was taken from a photo shoot in an abandoned building with lots of grafittis. Cool huh? :D

I'm sorry if I look awful there, but I can truly say that the photographer was really awesome! 

I'm a cosplayer* by the way, and I enjoy joining photo shoots 'cause I become so amazed whenever I see my transformations in the photos. XD

So in this blog, expect me to post lots of pictures of myself here (of course, because this is my blog who else's picture would I post here?!) and maybe (maybe) some pictures of me with some other people. 

I'd also post some pictures of where I go, random things or even pictures I don't even own. (don't worry I'm not a poser) What I mean is, sometimes I'm gonna post some of my reviews about mangas, animes or even make-ups. 

Besides pictures, of course I'm also gonna post about my everyday life. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm only a fourth year high school student, so mostly my posts are about school.

And right now, I totally have three projects due tomorrow and I'm still here blogging.

But I guess I better end it here.

Bye-a! :D

*For those who doesn't know what a cosplayer is, they are people who dresses up, more like portray, characters from anime, manga or RPGs.
