wow, 100 followers, thanks! :)

So, i actually just opened my laptop to print out some unistuff. While waiting for the pages beeing printed out i thought about taking a look at my blogger dashboard again.

I finally hit the 100 readers mark, thanks guys! :)

Even though it seemed like i neglected the blog a little bit, I hope its still somehow halfway interesting/entertaining/timekilling to some of you.
I'm trying to stop forcing posts and just write them freely and whenever i want, trying not to be too focused on reader counts when posting. I thought my count number won't rise anymore because of that, but luckily this didn't seem to be the case.

I'm thinking about maybe doing a small giveaway since i have so much cute little things at home, but for now, have some thankyou muffins i made yesterday!

Thanks again my 100 readers :)

too serious for me

I went to this one campus party last night. ( lol, i havent even mentioned that i'm in university now)
Ah well,This is how i looked like. I only noticed afterwards that i looked kinda mode.
I think my style is too playful for mode, but i am really starting to warm up to it, especially since i always liked brands like Murua and Emoda. And Blacks and Golds.
But still, looking so serious is so unusual to me,

Yeah hit me, the whole purpose of this post is pure picturewhorage. blah.
Still, i feel weird with posh poses, i rather enjoy making faces

byebye

look what University is doing to me

Wednesdays are horrible. Got Uni from 10 to 9 and still don't get stuff done.
Meaning: I start the day like this


and at the end of the day, look like this.


I really should get my ass up and start studying harder. Things are not like in school anymore where you can already pass with only occasional listening. I need to work work work on my Workethics which are so..er, inadequate.

University is hard but i stay strong.



(ok, actually i just wanted to show of how i looked like on halloween, had lots of fun with playing with the blood :D)

Hair update

Hi guys, im sorry for neglecting my blog these days. Its just that since i've been back here in germany, Real Lifes got a hold on me!

So im starting my revival post with a light and totaly not breathtakign topic: My current hair!

When i was in the Philippines i heard about this super great Japanese Hairsalon ( Shuji Kida in Greenhills) and since i always wanted to change my good ol boring black (ok, actually dark brown) locks, i decided to give that place a go!

So in the end i turned from something like this, to this.

Although i look less exotic now, i really like my new haircolor! Also as you can see i grew out my bangs and have my hair parted in the middle. I kinda like it now since im getting fed up of side bangs!

What do you think? And what do you prefer, middle or side parting?

The Beach! Shopping! A Wedding!

I actually wanted to avoid such all in one posts, because me myself am most of the time annoyed when those blogs i read only update once a month, but with posts of three meters length.

Do you too? well don't worry, this won't take too long to read since im too lazy to write a three meter long post, as long as im not payed or graded :p

So, What have i been up to since my last post exactly?

Well, my mother arrived, and ever since then weve gone to...

The Beach! :D

We went to Laiya, Batangas. And by the way, this fruit here is called Rambutan (which strangely reminds me of a Kids Toy Anime...) and turned out to be my new favorite fruit!

Shopping!

Me and my Cousin went to Greenhills to shop for some of her work stuff. In the end though i bought more than her xD

I just loce how the shirts i bought each give me a different look!

(btw. ich biete ein aehnliches shirt wie das oben links auf Kleiderkreisel an, wer interessiert ist klickt hier )

A Wedding! :D

We so bad, we take pics during mass :x

At the Photobooth with me, my Ma ( in gold), Her Friend, and the Bride

Actually we planned to go somewhere today too, but its pretty usual for my ma to plan things in the morning, talk abou it till afternoon, and dump the idea in the evening.

oh we're so alike.

I think thats it, collective Post turned out to be quite short ah xD

Review Geo Angel Brown + Mimi Shop

I already mentioned how my previous Barbie King Size Browns broke right? Well, i made up for that loss by buying myself a new pair of circle lenses via this facebook shop

This time i decided to get the regular Geo Angel Browns, because while i loved the design of the Barbies, i was quite abit overwhelmed with their big diameter and had to get used to my alien eyed self. Now that i got a toned down version of them, i didn"t have to get used to anything because i instantly found myself to look prettier with them on!

1.no makeup. one lense in, one out. with flash.

2. lash line. both in. with flash

3.with lenses. with makeup and lashes. Natural light outside

faceshot. natural light. ( lol,two different kinds of lashes, sorry)

Overall

Comfort- 5/5

Super comfortable. Of course it feels abit heavy after just putting them in, but as the day goes by i feel them less and less, even forgetting that i have them in!

Color- 5/5

Wonderful. I love that they give your Eye the missing oomph, while still looking natural and not too weird. ( like i felt the barbies did for me)

Enlargement- 4/5

The Diameter may "only" be 14 mm, but in my opinion the Enlargement is just perfect! Not too big that it looks creepy, but big enough to look sparkly and dolly!

The Size is just right, you can wear even very light makeup without it looking creepy! (which was the case with the Barbies)

So if you don't want to go all full gyaru/Ulzzzang/whatever Makeup but still want to add that special dollyness to your look, then i'd say that these lenses are the best!

Service - 5/5

like i already mentioned, i got them from Eye am Otaku Mimi- shop on Facebook.

This is the first time i shopped via Facebook, so of course i was abit worried at first, but because Facebook shopping seems to be really popular here in the Philippines, i just gave it a try.

And it was really worth it! First of all i was lucky enough that there was a Promo going on so i was able to purchase the Lenses for 650 pesos instead of 850!

I actually wanted to order prescription lenses, but Mimi (the shopowner) only had plano lenses on hand. Okay, so i ordered them instead. I mean, for 650 Pesos ( 11 Euros)i gladly take plano lenses instead!

Anyways, i payed via paypal and Mimi sent them out the next day. Then two days later, i woke up from my nap and saw that my Aunt put the package inside my room!

Thankyou Mimi for that really fast Shipment!

So if your in the Philippines and interested in getting Circle Lenses and Cosplay stuff, then i suggest you should check out Mimis shop!

My Birthday and Ootd's

So i don't think i mentioned it on here yet, but the day after the Meetup, August 12, was my 19th Birthday!

I didn't really plan anything special though, because uhh... i pretty much suck at planning stuff ^^;; Instead, i just brought some cake to school for the children, and at night me and my cousin tagged along when a good friend and his schoolmates went out to Party at THE Club in the Philippines: Republiq!!

At first, me, my friend, my cousin and my cousins friend went to the Mall were the Club was located at.

The Mall was very exclusive and had a Casino, lots of luxury boutiques and soo much nice food places!

The outer facade of the Mall. Its actually something like a rich tourists club. O

Oh and it was fullmoon!

The inside of the Mall

Me, Cousin Leli and her Friend

Inside the Club

The DJ's

We made lots of more pics but i don't know most of the people in the pics too well yet, so i'll refrain from posting pics wtih them right now;

neways, lets get to the point : I had a great Time!! :D

Heres a fullbody shoot of my outfit...(although not so clear)

I dont know why i decided to dress so simple, everyone there was so styled up!!

I basically want to go for the cool look, but a mini skirt would have definitely made this more Republiq worthy...

and while im at it, the outfit on the right is the one i wore on the mini gyaru meet.

In both coords i wear the same top, accecosories and boots.

Neways guys, jus finished skyping with boyfie and i should go to sleep now.

Byee

Manila Gyaru Mini Meet

late post is late, but lots of things have been going on lately and organizing all the pics in my cam is harrd harrrd woork!!!

...ok, actually its not, im just very much lazy.

Annyyywayss, as announced in the last post i had a meetup with dearest Yapo, Meoki, Tatat and Akane at SM Megamall!

First of all because i know how controversial the term gyaru is sometimes looked at, i just wanted to say that as of right now i do not consider myself gyaru okay? Its just that i'm in Manila, and they are Gyarus, and we had a meet up, okay? fine.

Sooo, Because i had to be accompanied by my cousin on the way to the mall, and because she still had classes, I was there quite early and therefore the first to arrive. (because really, thats usually veeery rare of me xD) We all wanted to meet up at the food court but i was there a tad bit too early so i strolled around the groundfloor for a while. Waiting at the Mall isn't really a big deal because afterall, its a Mall.

Anyways when Meoki was there she called me up, it then turned out that we weren't so far apart then xD She looked soo pretty in her pretty floral dress and even with her scraped knees, she looked like such a doll <3 We always had to think of her as a sweet and tough gurololi or himeguro something haha xD

me and meoki, i somehow really love this pic!

Because the others took some time to arrive me and meoki strolled abit around the mall and later just sat at the food court and talked. Shes soo nice, i really enjoyed talking to her!! :D She also wore a georgeous pair of heels, so i didn't feel like a giant standing beside her. (because well, i always do when im with people here .__.)

meo, me and tatat

Later on, Yapo and Tatat arrived. It was so cute how Yapo walked through the food court looking for us! She really stood out with her caramel colored bob, among the masses of black haired people! I was really impressed in total because although i already know how she looks like, it was still different than seeing her in person. Anyways she was really funny and had such a bubbly personality, it really suited her look!

When Tata arrived, i was also really impressed too! I didn't really know her that well before, but she was also very funny and quirky! And her eyes are so georgeous, she did such a good job on her make!!

The last one to arrive was Akane, and she was so feminime and elegant! Look at her, such a Barbie Doll!

Later on we sat by the Atrium and just talked and hung out! Yapo had so much fun taking pictures of our legs haha xD

LEGSLEGSLEGS haha XD

By the way, i just noticed how i claimed organizing pics is so tired, while all the pics i posted up until now aren't even taken by me. Yeayea i suck, but Yapos Pics just look sooo much nicer!!

okay okay see for yourself

stolen picture i took

and well, now actual "stolen" pictures (..ogawd i kno im so corny right?!sryy)

see more at Yapos Blog!

( I hope you forgive me for taking theese...)

All in all the day was very fun! Although i really have gotten abit shy after having seen all these gerogeous ladies, seriously i look like such a plain jane compared to them xD

My Cousin was also very impressed when she saw them and said the same thing to me haha.

I'm soo looking forward to see them again next week!!! (... and by then i'd have practiced my hair and make skills!!)

SM Days,TONYMOLY,small Haul and Ootd

SM, actually stands for Shoe Mart, but over time that little shoe company turned into the Philippines biggest Shoppingmall factory!

...lol, i don't even know why i had to tell you this, i guess this is the trivia of the day?xD

New knowledge aside, these last two days i finally managed to do some shopping! On Sunday me and my cousins went to SM North Edsa, because - as much as i love SM Megamall- i haven't been to the Philippines LARGEST Mall yet! In fact, SM North Edsa i also Asias 4th largest shopping mall! (Thanks Wikipedia for the stats...wait up, but i'm not the only person who looks up mall in wikipedia right?xD)

Now, what did i think? "welll, its an SM" to be exact.

...and therefore it practically looks the same as any big SM Mall. ( except MoA, i think that one looks a tad bit different)

You can probably form a new country out of the Philippine Mall's total amount of squaremeters, yes, the Malls here are THAT BIG. So yes, i am proud to say that shopping here is truly a delight!

Anyway, the next day i followed my cousin to school and waited for her in SM Manila: Super small and quite a dissapointment for SM Malls, but compact enought to stroll around by yourself!

This is what i wore

Top: H&M |Jeans: Mango|Necklace: SIX| Belt and Bracelet: courtesy of Dear cousin :)

I was quite in a glee walking around the mall all by myself, since i never did that before in the Philippines. I could enter any store i want and could stay as long as i wanted without anyone bored and tired tagging along!

So with all the freedom i've got, i treated myself to some DIY froyo at TuttiFrutti

look at my creation!

seriously, i think i dumped everything i was craving for that moment into the cup xD

I actually thought it would feel awkward sitting there having a froyo all by yourself, but sitting there and watching the masses pass by (well, and watching them stare at you) was actually quite relaxing.

While shopping i mostly bought some Make up for my older cousin, because i haven't gotten her anything yet for her birthday last week, and also because it seems like she wants to get more into makeup now! (yay!)

So i went to this new Korean Cosmetics store called TONYMOLY that popped up in the Malls recently. I really like the stores flair, its like a matured etude house or something xD

So i got inside and the sales lady immediately talked to me, asking where i come from and stuff.

As usual, people would think that im either american or australian, its like they don't even come up with the idea that there are more than two countries with a caucasian population...

Anyways when i told her i come from germany, she went all "ohh i'm from germany too!" So naturally i asked her where exactly in germany she came from and she was just all like...

"Have you heard of europe? Thats where i come from!"

ugh. I immediately wanted t stop talking to her.

Ah well, excuse my short staff rant and let me show you some of the stuff i got for myself

• A pair of loose flowy shorts : SM department store
• Thin studded Belt: SM department store
• Upper Falsies: TONYMOLY
• Mintgreen Nail Polish: TONYMOLY
• Lower Falsies: Etude House

In fact, im going to try the Lashes and Nail polish today, and since my lenses already arrived too, you can expect more potd and reviews in the following post.

Thanks for reading!

Job, Clothes and Lense Rambles

Guyys, i got a job! :D

So, today was my first day at a private preschool here in my neighbourhood, the jobs only voluntarily but hey, at least i've got something to do, and i feel like doing something meaningful!
The School is soo cute! And oh my god the children are so lovely! I remember having a super big grin on my face when they all came into the classrom, and then rushing outside in order to do some supercute morning workouts and afterwards singing the philippine national anthem!

Lets see how the next days are going to turn out, i can't wait to get to know each of the children and everyone else there better! :)

---

Annyyyways, next week im going to meet up with two of my favorite filipino Bloggers Yapo and Meoki! And other gyaru interested girls i haven't gotten to know yet are coming too! Sooo excited ~
I still have no Idea what to wear so heres some easy Inspiration i got from the latest popsister.
(...easy, because i practically have most of these pieces in my luggage already)

so what i have in my baggage out of these pics is a military shirt, a cream colored dress, a denim vest, a little black dress and distressed jeans.

I really want to start going shopping now thoughhhhh, ugh... i hate this lacking mobility =__=

I can't wait to start dolling up again, because really, i look like super simple and super humble everyday. And also, considering the hot and humid weather here, my mood to get pretty every morning pretty much drops everytime my make up smudges or removes itself .__.

I also ordered new circle lenses, because my old Barbie King Size Brown (old?wth i had them only for about 2 months ;_;) broke back in Germany...

Ah well, anyways i decided to get myself their little sister, the Geo Angel browns then instead... maybe they'll make me feel less creepy than the Barbie ones..

ah well, maybe next posts will have some egopics again...i figured that i havent posted any of these lately;;

ah well till then :)

Majolica Majorca Haul

I always considered myself to be quite the money saving, well almost "cheap" kind of consumer, but umm, i too, occasionally have these cravings where i just WANT GET AND WANT!!!..*cough cough*

Aaannyways, my latest Money spending trip has been done at the new Majolica Majorca Makeup Counter of my beloved one true Mall: SM Megamall! :D

My Buys include

• The automatic perfect liner in BR shade
• The Lash Expander Frame Plus Mascara
• Puff the Cheek in Apricot Macaron Shade

For that i payed a total amount of about 37 Euros (directly calculated) for which i also received a transparent Bag as a freebie!

Other than that, those days before my best friend here bought me the compact powder with its case as a advanced Birthday gift. The Powders texture is really smooth and i just love the Design of the case.

I honestly have to say though, that what attracted me the most to this brand is the beautiful design and casing of each piece. Seriously, i don't think i ever spazzed this much in a store!I tried out everything except the blush yet and they work just fine, but since i was quite in a hurry when applying them i wasn't able to test them properly.

If anybody is interested in a review of a piece just let me know :)

My isolation survival Haul

ok, i think i made it clear enough how incredibly bored i am here in my last post.

So to oppose that, that saturday when my cousin had time for me, we went to Market!Market! and stayed there for the whole day.

This is what i got:

First, Lots of reading material to keep me entertained for the week

• the recent Cosmopolitan Issue
• Zen and the art of faking it by Jordan Sonnenblick
• The memoirs of a beauiful boy by robert leleux

Have you read these two books? I got them because they were on Sale in National bookstore. Zen and the art of faking it seemed like a light and easy read, while the backtext of memoirs of a beautiful boy interested me. And its been a while since i took some time to read a book, the last one i read (and enjoyed!) was Murakamis Norwegian Wood.

Then, when went to a K-Pop Store where i got that cute Astro Boy Notebook, and that Small Yellow Scheduler. Might be useful when i go to uni in October.

Apart from School stuff, i also got my Friend this Big Bang Memopad as a gag :D

Seriously, that K-Pop Store had quite a selection of fan stuff, i actually wanted to take a pic but didn't dare taking one in the end...

Oh, Big Bang is Back~

As much as i like Big bang, i'm just not the type to cover all my notebooks or roomwalls with their beautiful heads and bodies. Well, i used to, but i guess i just grew out of it.

Are you the type to stick Images of your Idols on everyday stuff?

i guess thats it for this post, bye bye :)

Hello Philippines, Shellys here and ranting!

Ootd + Pictureday

Had another "shoot" with dear Chani on Monday.
Chani likes doing nature shots but i prefer urban-ish Photography. In the end though, we kinda did both :)
I kinda look pissed in some pics, when i actually wanted to look all cool and sophisticated. Also my Mom said that i look like i'm about to poo in the last pic. Oh Ma, i love you! xD

Nonetheless, i'm super duper thankful to have spent that super duper day with super duper Chani! :)
