Ayu ended 15th anniversary tour + Rare videos playlist

A little news yesterday: Ayu ended her 15th anniversary tour ~A BEST LIVE~ on Sunday 28 July at Yoyogi and teared when singing teddy bear.

Well, now this leaves me wondering what I've done this year since it's Ayu's 15th anniversary. And so far, is by watching her debut performance poker face on April 8th. lol.

I did get a bit nostalgic with her old songs and performance, which is why I've created a playlist of those old Ayu videos that I came across at YouTube.



Another surprise to me in that it was the first time that I've seen making-ofs for her old pvs where I initially thought that Ayu didn't had it filmed in the past!! lol. Cos I've got the A Complete Clip box but there isn't any making-ofs. Only in her recent albums she will include them in the album. So happy that I found and watched RAINBOW, SURREAL, Real me and the trilogy for vogue-Far away-SEASONS making-ofs. I feel like I'm still discovering and understanding more about Ayu even at this time. (^｡^) Especially watching Ayu's documentary back where she filmed in 2004. Her strong attitude and character is certainly something which I should learn from. (⌒▽⌒)


Anyway, I did an Ayu bookmark last last week. Not that impressive but is something that I've done. haha. Cos I realized I had so many Kumicky bookmarks and didn't have a decent one of Ayu. I hope this look quite acceptable. I'm still not that happy with my design. I don't know what's wrong. ?_?

Now I'm so NOT gonna buy anymore ViVi mag with Ayu or Namie on cover!! It's so not worth it. I really really dislike Vivi's content. Ugh. I ended up tearing and keeping the pages of Ayu's deji deji diary or any interviews about her. The rest of the mag just don't make me like it. The layout and content can't be of match with popteen. I guess is cos they have different target consumers that's why. But still it really is not my type. I shouldn't have bought so much in the past for the sake of Ayu I think. Cos the mags are occupying so much space and heavy. And I really cannot stand seeing Lena all the time. Okay, I'm so bias but I can't helped it. I'm really not gonna care about Vivi anymore. Popteen all the way~!! And of cos I'm super duper happy for the fact that Ayu appeared on Popteen's September issue!! So gonna buy it!! I'm really elated~!!! Can't wait to get it! xD

My folded cranes & hearts to Isshi-san

Yes! Finally got my origami thing done before July ends!! ヽ(ˆ0ˆ)ノ I almost forgot tomorrow is the last day of July. I've been so muddled at the dates recently. I don't know what's wrong with me. lol.  But yeah I managed to blog this today so an achievement done!

I wanna finish folding all these coloured squared papers that I have for years!! [That's why this personal project (ˆ_ˆ)] I love to buy and keep those origami papers in the past so that I'll fold them all someday with my entire collection of the origami I did. But there is this tendency of me to drag. (x_x) I hate procrastination. And then wonder when will that day ever come. lol. But now because of Isshi, because I really wanna do something, I finally got all of them folded! Not a lot actually. I did only 45 cranes and 8 hearts. But it took me quite a lot of time to do so!! I don't know why I took like ages to fold one crane. This must really mean that I've not folded for a long time! haha.
I'm glad at least I've found my motivation to do this, something which maybe I should have done long ago. At least I got this completed. I'm still  left with one more thing to do. I guess it's good enough I got quite a few things done this month so shall left the quotes page some time later to complete. (^-^)

I have placed all the folded cranes [in fact more than 45 cos I did some in the past] and hearts into this glass bottle, along with some mini stars and boats. I can't recall when did I folded others. lol. I always tend to do them when I got the mood. The stars outside the bottle are the bigger sized ones that couldn't fit into the bottle, and I chose to take them out. I think is better to stuff the cranes inside since they take more space. I put those bigger sized stars into another container already. I wonder if I should get anymore glass bottles. I had another one filled with only stars, but that was really ages ago!! And it's just for display. More like collecting dust now. haha. But I will keep this bottle with all these mixed origami in a safer place. Cos it's something really special. I do wish I could like giving this bottle to Isshi. Yeah it's for him although I can't really give to him. ( T_T)


Anyway I thought of listening to Isshi's Shiki project songs. Since this is about Isshi now.



I remembered listening to this song only during the time when I heard of Isshi's death news. Okay, I regret only listening to this and not found out all his project songs. I procrastinated. That was so bad of me. And there I can see my comment first below this video. lol. That was really long ago since! 2 years! What have I been doing for the 2 years? O_O 

This song still etched on my mind till now. Maybe cos it's just ONE song that I've listened from isshi which I would say the style is quite different from Kagrra,'s. It's really simple with just the guitar and isshi's voice. I'm truly amazed. He can produced such a great work! But I still think it'll be more perfect with the other members. With Isshi only, I feel that he's so all alone..... A sense of sadness will come to me again. (,_,)

I'm definitely gonna check out all the rest of the songs and blog about it soon.

Suddenly can't helped and wanna say R.I.P Isshi-san. If only his songs aren't that sad feeling...

Gmail's new inbox is annoying

I don't get it. Why google suddenly change the inbox features?!!



For the fact that we can organise our emails through using Labels is certainly good enough. I really don't get what's the fascinating thing of making everything with tabs. (¬_¬)

Why google u didn't even ask us if we like to change it or not instead of forcing us to accept this change u introduced? I really really don't like all these tabs on my inbox! It's annoying in that I have to click so many times!! [Just like what I'm irritated with the bloglovin leaving me having to do so many clickings!] I just want my inbox back the same okay?? → To allow me to see all the new emails at once in my inbox, rather than seeing where u placed the new emails under which tabs. I just like it that way u know? Be it looking really overwhelming, but I want to organise the way I want it using Labels and that is really good enough!!! And even if I've arrange at the right tabs, the new emails still appear at the wrong place. ugh~!!!!!

Really, what's up with the freaking changes? Don't make it any worse, please!! (￣^￣)

And I have to see through all and organise my emails all over again. (X_X)

Masks and Revlon lip butter

Bought masks despite that I still have a lot at home. lol. The sale was just enticing me and actually I wanna buy the box of 4 different flavour masks at $19.90 but I sort of hesitate a bit cos they don't look that common as their usual ones. Well well... also partly cos this one that I've bought is even cheaper. haha. And I share with my friend so that we can have equal mix of the 2 different flavour masks. xD

I also ended up buying Revlon lip butter! Actually I have always been aiming to buy it long ago but there wasn't any sale all this while so I might as well get this now since I couldn't resist it anymore! haha. Firstly, I went to watch Jen's review video which did tempt me to buy it. That's how it got started!



She made me interested in Peach parfait and Cotton candy. Cos I wanted light colours. I had dark colours already and I don't really like it. I went to look out for them in drugstores but I didn't see the Cotton candy one which is the one I wanted the most. =( Kinda upset that I couldn't get the one I want which is really horrible!!

And then somehow, I ended up on asahi's video on the Revlon lip butter too, though not a review.



They all looked so yummy!! I love how they make the lipstick pop out of the food!! Creative and certainly nice to watch! And cos of watching this video, I wanted the strawberry shortcake the most!! It's pretty much the same as the cotton candy I guess, the light pinkish girly type of colour. hahaa.. And luckily this colour is available. yeah~~!!

I didn't regret with this lip butter purchase at all! It's really creamy, moisturising with such a sweet colour and it smells really good!! It's really like the fruity smell of the dessert! (ˆ0ˆ) I finally got a lip product that I love and satisfied with. I have got lip stick/gloss which is drying up my lips really bad and I hated it. I wonder why I couldn't get a good one for myself all these years! But now, thank goodness for this. I'm really glad that I watch reviews first before buying a product. Although I may be spending a little unneccessary, it's worth cos I bought the right one for me. No regrets~!  (ˆ_ˆ)v

Beautiful Kagrra, songs in less than an hour

Just feel like posting a little thing about Kagrra, =D I have been listening to this while blogging:

Medley of Summer



And Medley of Spring~!!



It's pretty nice of the uploader to create such Medley~!! I love them! Whether or not the songs can connect well. haha. The fact that I can listen to Kagrra, songs all the way without me to specifically create a playlist is just good!! Cos I need not be bothered whether the video did jump to the next song or not. Moreover I get a chance to listen to some Kagrra, songs that I might not have listened to before, or maybe I've forgotten about them even though I listened before. haha. This is just so good~!! I appreciate the uploader's effort! Thank goodness there's still Kagrra, fans who went to do this. =)

I just love every single song that was chosen in the Medley. (*^◯^*) I wonder where's the other 2 seasons Medley? Or maybe cos Kagrra, didn't sing any songs related to autumn or winter. But I hope to see any of such videos anyway.  (^_-)

Ar~~ I suddenly feel that flowers are all blooming around me and petals beautifully flying around too as I'm listening to Kagrra,. hahaa.. I'm imagine a little too much. But Kagrra, songs certainly give u this feeling~!! So beautiful and relaxing and calm and emotional. I don't know what else I can say to describe this. (｡◕‿ ◕｡)


Oh there's something that I came across, a little creepy to me though.



It's called the Japanese alphabet song. I certainly have not heard of this before!! I think the standard Sakura song is the only Japanese song commonly sang in school time. But not this!! Okay, maybe only the Japanese then would know about this. So just throughout the song the voice is just singing somewhat the same thing to me over and over. I just wanna know if this is really a purely Japanese alphabet song or being edited or sang by someone else in particular. But certainly this is definitely a tribute to Isshi. Sorry, I don't feel sad but creepy cos of the voice. haha. Would anyone like this song? oh yeah, I would like to know the meaning of this song too.

okay, have to do more Kagrra, posts soon!

ulcer remedy + my cosmetic purchase

The past 2 weeks is just painful with mouth ulcer!! I had one at first, then I tried some ways to relief it like drinking lots of water [than usual] and even went to take cold showers. I don't usually do that cos I will tremble a lot! lol. But then I guess my body is really heaty, I can't be doing nothing cos I really hate how the pain bothers me when I drink or eat. I even eaten spicy korean food once cos I had a craving for it suddenly. I know I shouldn't have, but just one meal only!! And the ulcer didn't turn any different. lol.

And I also drank the honey citron tea as it really cools my body down. I think is pretty popular now cos I've seen it selling not just at those mini Korean marts but it also can be found in supermarkets. It's really good to know that it has quite a lot of benefits! So it really can suppress fever!! haha. Got the right thing afterall. That's the best thing ever in the house! =)

Anyway, what's irritating is that after this ulcer at the bottom lip has gone, another one came at my upper lip! Gosh, it made me wonder if the methods would ever work at all. But luckily, this gone faster than the first one. So I guess cold showers/bath and the honey really work?

Ar... recently I'm lacking a little motivation and some good quality sleep. Probably that's good in the sense that I just automatically wake up early in the morning. So much early than usual. lol. But I don't like that I get hungrier faster than usual too. ugh.

Just some things that I've bought : Eyeshadow palette, primer, black eyebrow pencil, white eyeliner and peach eyeshadow!

I would say I'm kinda satisfied with the products. I just bought what I want anyway. Not that I buy them cos they look good. I love to have many colours of eyeshadows so I definitely wanna get that since it was on sale too. As for the face primer, it seems a bit too oily feeling but that's what it is I guess, cos it's supposed to reduce the appearance of pores.
My eyebrow pencil is from Daiso haha. I have been using this to fill in my brows, so I did not try to draw them in any particular shape. (> y <)  In fact I have been brushing my brows everyday cos I suddenly got into brows! But I used the previous one I have bought, cos the brush is softer.
I'm using the white eyeliner for the bottom eyelid to open up my eyes. It's really a good highlighter too!!
And then the peach eyeshadow is matte in which I love it cos I always wanted a matte one but I keep seeing glitter/shimmery eyeshadow everywhere! Especially Japanese brands! Their eyeshadow is always so glittery, in which I think will make the eye makeup look too strong! This one will make a good look for school for me~! hehehe.

Okay, I still have more skincare/cosmetics stuffs to post cos I've been buying it again and again. lol. I needa control~!!

Ayu news :This July

It's a little news weeks ago about supporting Yousuke Ito who seems to be electing as a politician. He is using the help of Ayu and EXILE as a chance to promote himself. And Ayu has known him for years already.

There's quite a few people in AHS actually mistaken him for Masa in which confuses me at first. He didn't look familiar to me at all! I thought maybe I'm the only blur one, but NO! I went to check it out and he is indeed Yousuke Ito. Even the tweet of the picture has his name. How can I be wrong? haha.

Yes, I went to this website and saw the details about him. Seems to be Q&A of politics of Japan. The Japanese is just too hard for me to read. lol.

That's just a little Ayu news that's not bad or anything. But lately, there aren't any good ones except the above if u were to compare.


First, the rumour [I would say] that Ayu has a new Caucasian boyfriend and they spend nights together. Wtf! They are pretty close and the guy's younger than Ayu O_O Well, the fact that they hang around at that time in Bali doesn't made them a couple right? And Ayu usually have a crew members around with her too. Okay, I'm just not that convinced of this news. lol.
#I mentioned a little about it before. 

Next, a veteran called Dewi [whoever is she!] and Maro appeared on a Japanese tv show and badmouth about Ayu. Duh, the fact that you've never liked her in the first place place u in bias position that u won't say anything good about Ayu!! That's just being bad of her to talk like this. It doesn't do her good anyway, more like seeking attention, just like Maro! Why is he acting pitiful over and over again? That's really really bad of him to most probably use Ayu as a topic for him to get to the show as a way of publicity. Wicked!! How can he do that to Ayu when they have known each other for years already? He doesn't even appreciate the fact that he can be part of Ayu's troupe all these years I'm pretty sure Ayu cares about him even as a staff member. Why can't he let this go on the account of friendship at least? He really wanna make himself a jerk in front of everyone else. Fine!

Anyway I can't stream that video [not fair!] as it's only available in China. Sobs. I hope someone can fill me in what exactly going on in the show. But of cos, the fact that those 2 badmouth about Ayu is pretty much a sure thing as what I've read that many people said. (≧ロ≦)

Lastly, this latest news that I've seen : saying that Ayu likes to show off her wealth. (¬_¬)

Last time she used to have 20 staff members and bodyguards around her when shopping at Hong Kong, and demand that her doggies to have their own rooms to rest. Ayu also will bring 4 big luggage of clothes along with few manicurists everytime she went to perform.  But now Ayu's position now is not as good as before, so her bodyguards got sacked. Oh yeah, I remember posting a little about this few months ago.

Oh well, so much of me last time not wanting to post any bad news of Ayu. But still, is something about Ayu. I feel bored without me typing updates about her here, so I ended up with this post. =) Not happy to know anything unpleasant but it's not exactly like Ayu did anything bad. I think showing off her wealth is pretty minor. I think I shouldn't stop writing about anything related to Ayu. At least there's something here for me to look back to what's going on... Good in one sense. (,_,)

Japanese phrases to learn!

Just a short post. Found some Japanese phrases in my Vivi Jan 2013 issue! [Namie on cover] Could have posted this long ago. lol.

10 Japanese phrases to learn to say to guys:
1. あの人、超タイプ!　He is my kind of man.
2. 付き合ってる人はいるの？Are you seeing anyone?
3. 私たち相性ピッタリじゃない？I feel like we really click.
4. 私たち絶対気が合うと思う！I think we can make a good couple.
5. デートしてくれない？Will you hang out with me?
6. モテるんでしょー。I bet all the ladies like you.
7. あなたといるといつも笑っていられるよ。You can always make me smile.
8. 今度いつ会える? When will we meet again?
9. ずっと知り合いだったみたいに感じるんだよね。I feel like I've known you all my life.
10. めちゃくちゃ会いたかった! I'm dying to see you.


Is there anyone gonna say this in real life? lol. I wouldn't dare to. It sounds a little weird to me. haha.

Dump mags for Bookmarks once more!

I was clearing up my magazines and gonna throw some away cos there are some content in which I don't really like and so I think there's no point of keeping them. Well that's what I did last year anyway. haha. But recently I realised that I've pilled up a little too many of the mags and so I needa look into which is worth to keep now. haha. Now I'm looking at the pages for Popteen July 09 issue and tearing out those that I wanna keep. Anyway I'm just showing the few Kumicky pages here :

I just realised that back in 2009 Kumicky looks kinda different from now.

Didn't know she used to dyed her hair in 2 colours! Tat means I don't really notice her back then, even though I had the mag for so long. lol.

She seems to have buck teeth? I realised her teeth is really kinda different then and now.

She likes to stick out her tongue in most pictures like this:

Oh my, she is really skinny~!! This page is about the length of every part of her body. It's also done for the rest of the models. In the end I decided to keep this page cos it's about Kumicky. haha. But it also made me jealous cos I don't think I can be like her! lol.

Another thing worth to keep: Namie's Best Fiction tour writeup~!

Only these 2 pages but still worth for me anyway. I kinda like that theme of fairytale that Namie had for this tour and album. Fiction that is~! Her costume is so pretty and cool too~!

Lastly, look at what I did just now:

3 Kumicky bookmarks~!!

Once again, my boring life. haha. Don't wanna waste the mags as I've said. Since I like doing a little bit of art. But my creativity is kinda limited. The only thing I can do is still bookmarks. haha. Not as if I will use them even though I have lots of books! Let me just continue to add it as part of my collection. At least some Kumicky things that I've owned. haha.

Why Kumicky don't have twitter?? I could have tweeted her this at least... (´･_･`)

Before 18 July, my Kagrra, playlist and name~

Ar~~ I don't know if I can get all my things done for Isshi by this Thurs 18 July, in which most probably not. So doing them by the end of this month would be reasonable I guess. I feel the rush already! Haha. So I shall post something today first → recreate the playlist of all Kagrra, pvs.

I created this Kagrra, All pvs playlist based on my last year post on finding out all the pvs that Kagrra, has throughout the years in their music life. I gathered that there are 22 pvs in total in which now I'm still not quite sure but that's pretty much all the pvs that I've watched all these years. Hopefully there's any Kagrra, fan who would confirm this to me. =)

#Edit: 23 pvs in total → List of Kagrra, pvs



Yeah so now for the moment, I shall rewatch all the pvs and and get myself motivated for Isshi~!! While I'm still finding time to fold my paper cranes and looking clearly at all their lyrics translations.(￣。￣ノ)

I find that my favourite songs still didn't change. I still love the ones much more from those that I've bold last time. haha I guess I kinda know my taste. How funny, for Ayu's songs sometimes those that I once disliked, I can like it the next moment cos it grew on me. Maybe this happens for most fans. But for Kagrra, songs is either I like it a lot or not! lol.

Anyway, let me talk a little about Kagrra,. I know that initially they are called CROW in the previous company which is not operating already, but later changed to 神樂 Kagura when signed to PS company. I think Kagura is definitely a better name, cos they are making such beautiful music like from heaven. haha. That's what I think too anyway. Why did they even call themselves CROW in the first place? Does that mean anything? And also, I realised that Kagura is spelled as Kagrra, with the comma. I don't know the reason why~! Throughout the years as a fan, I didn't come across any explanation for this. Urgh, I didn't even ask this in the past either. Lol.
At first I do get a little confused with double letters. Just don't know why my mind works in a bad way. haha. I remembered I do make mistakes in typing as Kaggra, instead of Kagrra,. But is not double g, is double r! I really wanna know why they wanna spelled it in this way. But now as a fan and I do mind the details already. And so when I spotted other people spelling as Kaggra, I will automatically be unhappy about this! It just come to me naturally to go "ugh~! how can this person spell it wrongly!! Is he blind? Definitely not a Kagrra, fan talking. Don't you spoil Kagrra,'s name!! Go away!" lol~!!

Now about my love to the song shiki 四季 I was happily listening and in fact their 愛しくてitoshikute = beloved leave a deep impression in me. So I decided to name my twitter as kgr_beloved. Kgr as the initials to Kagura. And also quite coincidentally, Ayu has a song in FIVE called beloved too. It was my 3rd favourite song in FIVE album. And I think I started twitter around tat time in 2011. Well well... So coincident all right. Haha. Maybe it's fated that everything fits in. And also, I wanna get those usernames with meaning behind it. =)

Alright, until 18 July comes where I'll feel a little sad and nostalgic and so much for Isshi. It's the 2nd year death anniversary now. I still wanna hope that he's doing well in another world and watching us. I will certainly look at my Kagrra, playlist more often and if any videos got deleted, I shall look for any other same songs and save it to my playlist to make sure the full 22 songs are always there. Always~~~ ♥

Makeup tips

Some makeup tips from Popteen July 2013 issue that I'm kinda amazed of.

1. Apply lip conditioner on eyelid before applying eyeshadow so that the colour will be brighter and will last longer.
2. Mix BB cream and moisturizer in equal amounts (ratio 1:1) so that it will last longer on the skin too.
3. Spray toner on the eyeshadow palette so that you need not apply an eyeshadow base to make the eyeshadow last longer.
4. Apply Mentholatum lip conditioner on eyelashes to allow it to grow longer.
5. Soak facial cotton with enough toner and put on your lips for 5 mins. This will make your lips moisturized and you need not use lip conditioner the next day.

I'm troubled recently over my eyeshadow colour not long lasting and the colour not appearing obvious enough. Was wondering is it because the eyeshadow that I've bought is just not pigmented enough.

Should I even try out the tips as shown above? lol. But I'm not that daring enough to use my lip conditioner cos mine has a little reddish colour and shimmer. I have tried using my vaseline lip therapy on my hands to test out the eyeshadow on top of it but it feels oily! I wouldn't dare to apply on my eyelids! Anyway, the eyeshadow didn't appear any different. The colour didn't get any brighter/obvious. Even just concealer and BB cream being mixed wouldn't work too. I guess I do need to buy an eyeshadow primer afterall. lol! 

Good grief. But why is it so hard to find? I didn't see any common brands in drugstore selling it! I've spotted Revlon's eyeshadow palette with primer but it was so shiny! Is primer supposed to be like that? Hmm... I'm not sure if I should get it. All I need is primer only. I think have enough eyeshadows now already. And it seems that I can never finish using them. lol. 

Anyway, I've created my own playlist of makeup tips a while ago.

I just realised that most of them are Michelle phan videos. haha!! I've been watching back her old videos and I do find that she teaches really well. The videos I've saved are not exactly tips actually. I put those that I think are really useful and some of the things that I should take note of. I will put those basics and natural, simple makeup there too. I do think I may have to re-watch makeup videos cos even though I know quite a lot now [I think], but I haven't been trying them out exactly! haha.

Maybe I should take a chance to watch and follow at the same time what Michelle phan or Jen is doing in the tutorial. But the one thing I find difficult is the products! I may not be able to get the ones I'm comfortable with and experimenting with different products takes time and money. I am only able to do simple makeup on myself and not dare enough to try different looks. Well well. So much of me wanna be a makeup artist but this is just my interest that seem kinda hard to fulfill this dream. I don't know how should I even start off. Maybe it will continue to just be my little dream. I can't afford to spend so much money on makeup now I'm feeling so vexed. I really wonder how Michelle does it. U know, I'm very amazed at her on-the-go reviews.



I really enjoyed her on-the-go reviews but she didn't do them anymore. =( It's really cool that almost all the products there of different brands Michelle has pretty much tried and used them before already and so she is able to give us her reviews on it. I love that!! It really seems to be a great shopping video to me at the same time. haha. But one thing not that good is that sg doesn't sell that much products nor the same exact type of products as America. I won't be able to buy the exact same product that Michelle recommended. Oh well...

Google reader shift to Bloglovin' and Feedly

Quite unhappy lately that google reader is closed with effect from 1 July which means that I have to find alternative web feeds that allow me to keep track of the latest updates from blogs. I really detest that cos I'm already so used to google reader and now that I have to re-learn everything again at other web feeds? That's not too pleasing. And I'll be so upset if those things that I've saved are gone just like that! U know how upset I was upon knowing this news long ago?

I've tried to note down the links but it was quite a hassle cos I'm following too many blogs, although which some did not update frequently. But there are really many websites in which still have some things that I wanna see despite no more updates. I wanna let them stay there in my subscriptions for future reading when my mood comes. lol. But it's really troublesome to note down all over what the sites I'm following is all about. I once did that and I just gave up~! Until that I've discovered bloglovin as recommended by Jen in her blog, it's so much easier as it helps me to import all the blogs I'm following at google reader.

Omg thanks for this function! lol. It really saves so much of my time and trouble. And it was then that I realised I'm following 40 over blogs!! And I'm still adding on to it! I keep discovering interesting blogs to read. haha. And I love doing so. I didn't expect that I'm following so many blogs but anyway not all have frequent updates and I usually really read properly [instead of browsing] for things that really interest me like my favourite singers' news or skincare/cosmetics reviews. =D

Although bloglovin can allow me to receive emails on daily updates but is not showing all updates in that email. And now I don't use bloglovin cos I just don't like how it works. Because for every posts that I read, I need to click on that link which direct me to the original webpage and after I read, I have to click again to exit the page. There u go, so many clickings to do!! U know the hassle of this? That's why I still like google reader cos I can read the entire post in the reader itself. Why make us click here and there? Ok, ur purpose for letting the bloggers to have more traffic and contribute to the no. of views but then this is not that friendly for blog readers. And as u know, we are all just lazy. Since google reader used to have this function, bloglovin just made me feel it's not better than google reader in anyway. I feel that this is much worse. (¬_¬) Especially when it doesn't work well in my mobile web either! I'm so irritated about that. Cos I do my blog readings on my mobile phone more often. I'll be so frustrated when it doesn't work for me!

But still, since I have created a bloglovin account, I'm just gonna leave it there and ignore it then. Cos it was bloglovin that let me discover Feedly. I find Feedly so much better~!! Feedly also imports all my subscriptions at google reader. Feedly even bring over my tags from google reader!!! How nice! And I realised that saved for later = starred at google reader. How good is this!! And it allows me to organise/categorise the blogs I'm reading. It also clearly shows the ones I've read or not in my Index page. And definitely better than bloglovin in the sense that it shows all the post in Feedly rather than making me click here and there to open and close the page so many times!! ^_^

Although I don't like the fact that I've to download the Feedly app to my phone but it works well! There are no problems for me!! And the font appears really big! haha. Feedly does have more functions than google reader and therefore I would say this is really better than bloglovin!! I've just used this for a week and I'm pretty much satisfied although I still love google reader cos I'm so used to that. Well, maybe when I really got used to this I would say this is best among all? lol.

I just don't understand why google wanna shut its reader down when so many people enjoy using it. I wanna give my suggestions/feedback but I realise it's not quite friendly-using for us to do so. Why do I have to activate the google feedback thing? Why not just let me send to u easily with just a click instead of having so many steps?? I really wanna tell u guys how much I love google reader and not want u to remove at all but why do u wanna make it difficult for me to do so? It's more like u google doesn't like/want to listen to our suggestions at all? And also, YouTube layout and configuration is more confusing than before. U guys change them too often imo. I hope u can make it more user-friendly and simple please!!

Okay, although I'm not that happy with the above, but I'm still loving gmail and google's blogger. I'm very much a google product user. haha. ok, so enough of my complains for now. Cos one gone, a better one will come, I believe. （＾ｖ＾）

Ayu Acollection + SCawaii August 2013

I'm quite surprised to know that there is such a thing or a company called Acollection. It seems to be related to Ayu's mum's company called hanaBi but I certainly have never heard of Acollection all these years. lol. To think that this actually suddenly pops up!

Ayu is the cooperative partner btw. It seems like Ayu is also managing the company?
I like that picture of Ayu in her Sweet scar pv look. ^_^

And after looking at the whole website, Timmy is the first artiste in this company? and he will have his fanclub soon called Timmy's. There is this blog hanaBi-staff in which I'm pretty sure it's Ayu's mum managing it. And so this post Timmy MUSIC♪ is definitely promoting Timmy. haha. I know he's pretty talented in that he made a few Ayu songs in last year Party Queen album. But I can't see him as a singer/artiste though. He's got quite a good voice in that preview song but I don't know which language is he singing in. Is he gonna have a Japanese album or English? Is he still gonna be part of Ayu's troupe and background singer? And Acollection actually started in year 2000?
I'm having lots of question marks here now cos I dun understand how this come about. And we have not heard of Ayu mentioning about this. O_O  I don't really see that blog often but I know there are some Ayu's doggies photos pretty often and I like that more. haha. Not really interested in Timmy's debut though. I'm just sort of confused with what's going on cos I remember seeing hanaBi as hanaBi only but now it's called Acollection ＆ hanaBiのブログ。

Ok, even the name changed. And even Ayu is managing it. Oh no... I want Ayu still be a singer. Since she's part of it, don't tell me she'll have lesser time for her own release!! Hope not! I can't imagine Ayu being someone behind managing a company. And there isn't anything about Ayu~!! I don't really like that. Okay, it's all about Timmy over there right. So maybe that place is not where I should be looking at. I'm just not interested in Timmy or doggies. lol~


Yeah for Ayu appearing in SCawaii magazine cover~! I like the left one better!! With the smile and nails~!!

She is sexy at the right one but I don't really like the hair or the outfit. It's some sort of bikini wear to me and she looks really skinny~! I'm now waiting for better scans and translation to be up!

Anyway there is this recent rumour that Ayu is dating a white male. I can't make myself believe this now cos they don't even look close to each other and neither the face of the guy is shown. It doesn't sound real to me. Well, of cos I'll only believe in what Ayu says in her TA. Those tabloids news are so unclear in everything. And I still don't get why Japanese still uses black and white for their magazine. :O And it seems like many people like to talk about Ayu's love life until now. haha. I just hope that she won't get anyone like Maro. -_-

Ayu, please get better and richer guys who would not use u to create news or climb up the corporate ladder for their own selfish purpose. U really deserve a very good guys, not rotten ones like Maro. 

My masks and nails.

Bought 2 boxes of masks last month!! Since they are on sale anyway. I think I certainly have quite a lot of masks to last me for quite long. But whenever I see any new ones, especially those with whitening effects I'll be so tempted to buy them. Itchy hands~~~ haha.

I got this Beauty buffet and I quite like their masks besides LoveMore. The Vitamin C one smells really nice~! This brand is gonna be my constant purchase I guess cos I like it just like LoveMore!

And cos I like LoveMore,

I even keep the empty boxes to see which ones that I've bought in the past! lol. I left out the pomegranate one cos I still have some masks in that box. The top ones are the recent packaging design while the bottom ones are the old ones. I wonder why they change their design that fast cos it's only been a year right? I think the old ones are cuter. But anyway, it doesn't really matter cos the most important is that their masks is still the best to use. =)  I think I'm just obsessed with TW masks and I came across another TW brand mask endorsed by Aaron Yan Yalun which looks pretty nice. Oh gosh, I'm so tempted to try it out but now I'm controlling myself from buying it cos I haven't finish using my Dr. Morita masks yet! I've got no space for additional masks boxes. lol~!!

Anyway, I've painted my toe nails cos I'm so bored. xD

Painted with the only 2 colours that I have. I think they kinda match pretty well. I'm lazy to do special design like dots or anything and I think having some colour is enough. I needa apply 2 coats so that they look more even and tat take so much time. Plus I have to apply a layer of top coat too. Yeah, so much for the boredom tat I do this but yet I'm lacking of patience somehow. haha.

One thing I realised, my nail polish is dated 2011, the other light one is 2012 and the top coat is 2010. Lol! One year after the other. And my nail polish remover I bought it at 2008~!! Oh freaky! So long ago!! I wonder how long can I store and use my nail polish for, and also the nail polish remover. I apply my nail polish about once a year, not as often as makeup cos I'm not that fond of nail art. I only painted my nails only when I'm freaking bored. haha.
So I've just googled it to see that it actually last for like 2 years? But it will thicken with time, so have to store in the fridge. U can also dip some nail polish remover into it. And the remover doesn't have an expiry date? Okay,so I can just keep it as long as I can. I'm afraid it will be bad for my nails, but urgh, the fact that I'm painting my nails is already bad. And not that I'm so willing to buy more nail polish for myself as often as I buy masks. Lol~~!!

Okay, is just that I feel like I needa experiment sometimes. I had such boring nail polish colours for goodness sake I always ended up buying pink light colours only. I don't know if there's anyone of my friends will buy me any other colours. Or maybe it's just so NOT me to use other colours. hahaa..

This is July.

First of all, Happy July 1st~!! As usual, I listened to Ayu's July 1st on that day and it's just the same old feeling of summer coming [but it's always summer here -_-] and kinda happy, but it really did make me a little guilty for not getting A SUMMER BEST at all. Oh my, I wouldn't have been reminded for this if not for seeing some fans tweeted July 1st with that A SUMMER BEST cover. (,_,) But anyway, I didn't listen to other summer songs and I'd only just make the attempt to listen to July 1st that's all. lol. Lazy me!

I think having dates as the song names is pretty cool. Sort of make me feel that it's more meaningful and special to listen to the song on that special day~!! Once a year~!! And I feel like July seems to be the month of Kagrra, to me, since July 18th is Isshi's death anniversary. I've discovered some date songs by Kagrra, and since it's the month of July, so coincidentally, Kagrra, has a song of July: Shichigatsu Nanoka July 7th.



Not bad! I kinda like this song. =D
And there is another date song called Shigatsu Tsuitachi April 1st.



Both is great with the uploader including English subs. Now I get a better understanding of what Isshi is singing. U know, his Japanese is quite difficult to understand. haha. And my Japanese is kinda not up to standard yet. Lol.  Anyway, I like 七月七日 more but 四月一日 lyrics is sadder yet beautiful. I feel like dedicating to Isshi-san cos he sang this part 'I want to meet you once again right beneath those magnificent cherry blossoms'. Oh no, I'm gonna tear now... (T_T)


Anyway, looking back at my past posts of Kagrra, I know I have some playlist gone cos I deleted it. And that is because some of the videos are deleted by the uploader or either that their accounts got suspended. I'm quite unhappy about that cos I feel that I've spent my effort creating the playlist and I wanna go back to listen to it once more but it's gone!! And those are the singles/albums playlist that I've created. Since the videos are gone, I thought might as well I delete the playlists too. So I have my past posts there with some blank space cos of the deleted playlist. Oh well, how ugly looking my posts are now. And I can't remember the singles/album titles nor their songs now!! I can only remember their hit songs much better cos watching it so many times over the years. =)


Okay, since July is the month of Kagrra, to me, I feel like I have to do something this time. So maybe I'm gonna head back to folding my origami to commemorate Isshi-san and also to recreate my Kagrra, playlist for all their pvs. And also, to update my Kagrra, quotes page~! I only have 2 quotes up there for so long and not updating it cos it's quite hard to find translations of their songs. lol. So now's not the time to slack anymore and leave them there! I will update there soon cos it will be some sort of project for me now. I need to get this going. I will get them done by this month, I hope!! And hopefully, Isshi-san will be proud of me doing this. =)
