caffeine, oh why

Another shameless retarded stupid post from work. Dundundun. You're probably asking, why the hell am I blogging from work?! oAo
true true. but theres only so much you can while working in a call center >_> to be frank.

I have probably saturated Youtube for all its worth and subscribed to GODKNOWS HOW MANY BEAUTY BLOGS on blogspot just to give me something to read >_> and browsed Amazon to no end and THAT just makes me depress :D lawlz. So lets move on from that topic shall we?

So what I wanted to talk about is, dundundun. Caffine D:

I was up till possible 4 am this morning and all of a sudden having craved for donuts and coffee
and the sad miserable part is, when I drive my brother to work, I ALWAYS without fail, drive by a coffee and donut shop. lololz so that clearly does not help my case :D but!
I've been good. I drove pass it and fought the urge lolz. at the time it just sounded like a good idea, but that doesn't stop the craving for coffee, or so I thought. D':
so I went to vons and did some shameless grocery shopping :B hurpderp, more fruits for smoothies and of course the usual noodles and canned soup (oh poor student budget :D kekeke)
and I came home with 2 cans of Seattle's Best Coffee. They were on sale vs Starbucks which I'm quickly tired of already.


......now the sad part is, I have that can sitting infront of me and I have no grand desire to drink it anymore ;; and I still have a can of monster in my fridge >___> wow what happened.
I use to down myself in coffee, energy drinks and etc like it was water D:

instead I've traded all my caffeine in for this:


LOOL yes Green Tea! >D I use to dislike the taste of green tea but have liked all sorts of other teas before that, I think its simply an acquired taste. I use to dislike soy milk and have now grown to like it. /:

mhmm. must not waste the coffee though. I'll probably save it for when I go to SF the following week then. LAWLZ. And the monster, I'll save for when my friends come over for drinks.
Monster + Vodka = best combo ever :D loooolz I seriously shouldnt be talking about alcohol here xD!

What is Hydrogen Peroxide?

What is 'Hydrogen Peroxide'?:

Hydrogen peroxide, developer or activator is the 'white' stuff you use to mix and activate your hair dye to turn it into hair dye prior to slapping it on your hair :D

It is H202, and it is a oxidizing agent that you use to mix with an oxidative agent such as Hair Dye. It supplies the needed oxygen the dye needs to pretty much 'activate' it. PH levels usually range between 2.5 to 4.5 When mixed together with the dye and applied to the hair, the activator reacts and 'opens' up the hair cuticles to allow the hair dye to penetrate the hair shaft. The higher the level of the developer, the higher the your color will 'lift'
You mentioned different names and forms?

Most places/people call Hydrogen Peroxide 'developer' or 'activator' as described above.
It comes in different forms, such as your regular basic liquid cream form (white liquid), gel (clear liquid. I personally dont like using gel as it tends to be runny) and sometimes even a heavier cream version which is best used for when bleaching your brows :D as its a thicker consistency allowing no drips or drops at all!

Levels and their usages:
H202 comes in different levels, the most basic levels you'll be able to access through your local beauty supply sheps are vol. 10-40. and Yes, they DO make developers as high as vol. 50 and 60 BUT are never advisable to be used at all! :O so dont worry about those, unless you are a licensed cosmetologist, you wouldnt be able to access anything higher than 40. And most places wont even sell you vol. 40)

Vol. 10 - Used to enhance ones own natural hair color, it doesnt 'lift' your hair color at all but it definitely works for depositing color and using it to enhance your natural shade. This developer gives the least amount of damage or NO damage at all considering its not even strong enough to open up the hair shaft.
I always suggest this to anyone who has pre-lightened hair and wants to go darker.
ie: When a friend went from black to blonde (and we all know when asians bleach their hair, is usually pretty yellow), she wanted to go 3-4 shades darker but still remain in the blonde range. So we used vol. 10 + the dye. Mixed them accordingly and reapplied to her hair.

Vol. 20 - most standard of the developers, this is the one most commonly used in boxed dyes (usually the ones that comes in the boxes are alittle bit more dilluted), this is also the developer used for full gray coverage. This would lift your hair 2 shades.
its strong enough to open up the hair cuticles and deposit the dye just enough but not too strong that it'd completely open up the hair shaft.

Vol. 30 - Use this for alittle bit more of a KICK to your hair lifting, this would lift you up atleast 3 volumes and is most commonly used with 'Hi Lift Colors' Most commonly adviced when using L'oriel high lift colors, per box instruction

Vol. 40 - Highest max lift in 1 step. This would lift you a nice 4-5 shades in one step.
I highly advice this for anyone going Blonde :B since it def helps lift you up a good 4-5 shades.
I wont go into detail in regard to 'how do I lift my hair to blonde blablabla, atleast not on this post. :D I'll go into it much more detailed in a different post. This is just a basic break down on Developers and what they do and whatnot.

What are the 'hair levels' you're talking about?
Your hair comes in 10 different 'shade levels'. Most Asians are either a level 1 or 2. Which is Black or Dark Brown. When 'lifting' your hair, you can use this chart as a guide to see how 'high' you wanna go:

Photo provided from Clairolpro.com


Will using a higher level above 10 be damaging to my hair?
Yes. The higher the level you're using, the stronger the chemical is, harsher it is on your hair, seeing as the higher the level the more it opens up your hair shaft.

As seen in the photo below, provided by hairfinder.com (found via google images)



the higher the developer, the more it 'raises' or opens up the hair to allow maximum porosity. The stronger the developer, the more it blasts or raises the hair cuticle which in turn, does damage your hair more and more making your hair feel more dry and course since you're taking out all that moisture and nourishment. So I always suggest babying your hair with masks and deep conditioners to try and close the cuticle and restore moisture.
When looking for a conditioner or hair masks, try to find ones that has 'Keratin Protein' in it.
keratin protein is basically the compound your hair is made out of and is very healthy for your hair to try and get as much of that keratin protein back into your hair.

Hair Lifting @ home & the "right" light tone for you

Hair Lifting @ home & the "right" light tone for you

So many people have asked me how do I lift my hair? How do I get my DARK ASIAN Hair to be a pretty light blonde? Do I even look GOOD with light hair? Are asians suppose to HAVE light hair? Why cant we just stick to having DARK hair?

this is is an on going debate that will probably never change. So many people are for it while some are against it.

Personally, I've been both dark and light :P

which do I prefer? Honestly, it just depends on my mood. Thankfully I own plenty enough wigs to play with and whatnot but there's just SOMETHING about having light hair thats definitely a show stopper >:D

First of all, there are DIFFERENT shades and tones of LIGHT hair - Blonde hair.

From golden tones to more ashy tones. I've been both! 8D but don't use me as reference.

Some people look better with a more warm tone (warmer-gold tones) while others looks better with a more lighter cool ash tones.

It all depends on your skin tone.

So before you pick up a packet of bleach and peroxide and start bleaching the crap out of your hair, stop and check your skin tone and what are your skins undertones.

Those with pink or blue skin undertones fall into the cool category. This means that hair colors that have a cool overtone will generally look much more natural on you. When I say 'cool tones' that usually falls in the category of anything with the name 'Ash' on it.

While obviously those with darker tones in their skin are best to stick with a more warm tone. This rule isnt always 100% full proof on anyone and everyone. I'd suggest using swatches and placing it against your face to try and test out what color would be best on you. Since sometimes, someone who is pasty white like white rice wouldnt look good with anything ashy as it would simply wash them out even more! Golden tones help bring warmth to the skin and gives it a more natural glow.

I personally have red undertones in my face - so something warmer works for me, but! I've been bleach blonde and SILVER before 8D

how did I get away with it? Simply my dears - Makeup. Proper makeup application. I used the proper primer and base to cancel out all my nasty red tones in my face to give my skin a more 'cool' tone to it. You wouldnt catch me walking outside without so much as a base foundation on my face when I had blonde hair ahahaha.

So just keep that in mind when picking the level and tones of 'blonde' you want to be 8D

anyways, lets move on before I continue to blab some more! I'm going to go ahead and throw myself out there and use myself as an example. I am 100% Asian born with 100% DARK black hair 8D

Examples of how much I've killed my hair, probably not THE best examples :D but its better than slapping this post with photos of ageha models who are clearly not human and photoshopped to prettyness >D (no, I'm not bashing on those models, they are gorgeous, too gorgeous that its harder for us everyday folks to try and see ourselves are.../: )

so onto how to get your hair that light 8D

first of all, bleach can and WILL damage your hair, lightening your hair to this extreme levels will result in alot of breakage, throughout the whole process I think I lost a good 4" in lenght /:

(only because I went SILVER, I'm sure I could have save myself some breakage had I not pushed to bleach it silver :D kekeke) but again, the breakage differs from each and everyones hair and how much you're hair can personall take.

what you will be needing:

1. Gloves
2. Plastic Bowl & Applicator Brush
3. Plastic Processing Cap (or a shower cap but I prefer the plastic ones you can get locally at your beauty supply store)
4. Bleach
5. Vol. 30-40 developer (refer to my previous post on developers for info on the difference and what do they do exactly)
6. Foil (optional)
7. Plastic Cape & Towels
8. Hair Mask/Deep Conditioners (my personal favorite and go to is Ion Keratin Reconstructive Mask)
9. Vol. 20 + Toner OR the hair dye of your choice (depending on how lighter/darker of a tone it is, you'd want to get a vol. 10 or 20, again refer to my previous post on developers)
10. Plastic Clips

How to get started:

Mixing the product: Mix your Bleach and Developer in a clean plastic bowl. Follow the instruction on your bleach packet, but more often than not, they will be asking for 1:1 ratio. That means, 1 part bleach to 1 part Developer. For those of us who aren’t too keen on math, that usually means, for 1 cup of powder bleach, you drop 1 cup of developer in. Easy enough? Mix! :D It shouldn’t feel too watery or runny, if its TOO watered down, its going to be a hot mess! You want a nice good consistency- like cake batter :D ahaha. A good way to test how ‘thick’ your mix is, if you dip your brush into it, and lift it up, if the product is thick enough, it wont simply FALL off the brush. So you know you have a good consistency and it wont just drop everywhere!

Drape a towel around your neck and another one behind you, (so you will need 2 towels)

The 2^nd towel should be tucked into the back of your shirt, the first one should be wraped around your neck. Drape your plastic cape on, you usually wanna wear 2 towels incase the first one doesn’t catch any bleach residue falling into your shirt! :o which would definitely suck. The cape is optional but I always suggest picking one up since their super cheap anyway at your local beauty supply store. Or just get a big towel. But plastic capes are definitely the best since their easier to clean!

Onto the hair!

First, you wanna section your hair off in 4 different sections or regions, it just simply makes it easier to do it and allows you to do cleaner and easier partings to properly distribute the product onto your hair. If you have sensitive scalp, I suggest definitely using Ion Sensitive Scalp Developer and to wash your hair previously with COLD water, thus closing the hair cuticles and minimizing the ‘burning’ sensation in your hair.

Starting in your back section, you wanna try and do nice clean partings, small partings layer by layer and apply the product half an inch away from the scalp to the end.

Why away from the scalp? As explained before in my previous post, you wanna start away from the scalp first since Hydrogen Peroxide, or developer reacts to heat, and well, clearly your scalp produces heat :D!

So if you ever noticed, if you do your roots-end application, your roots tend to always be a lot lighter then the rest of your hair? Well, that’s why! :D

So go ahead and go all around your hair, and in the last 20 mins of processing, you wanna apply some bleach to the roots where you left off, again starting at the back to the front sections again .

Once you’re done with that, you wanna cover your hair with a processing cap, to help keep the heat in and keep the bleach from drying out, once it dries out, then you’re pretty much done processing /:

Bleach/Dye usually is done processing at 40 mins to 60 mins. So no point in trying to leave bleach on your head for an hour and half, since most likely the bleach has dried out already.

Another option, since I mentioned foil in the above materials is, well, as you apply the bleach half an inch away to the ends, you can wrap hair in foil to help keep it moist and this also helps process the bleach faster, keep it moist and not dry out so much faster and also helps differentiate layer by layer – making root application a lot easier. Since you just need to lift one foil, after the other and sneak your brush through to the roots and apply the bleach there :D

After processing, you want to go ahead and rinse off your hair, shampoo and condition as always. Then dry.

Most Asians will most likely end up with either brassy orange hair to yellow.

This photo above is my hair going from Brown to Blonde, this was done with I believe 1-2 bleachings, with vol. 40 and purple shampoo, I haven’t toned my hair yet at this point.

Again, how much your hair will lift can definitely vary, please refer to my previous post on Hydrogen Peroxide levels, I have a level chart there that talks about the different levels of hair and color and whatnot.

I got this light personally because my hair as already a BROWN shade and not VIRGIN BLACK. So it only took me 2 bleachings at the most using vol. 40 developer to achieve this color.

Now usually at this point I can choose to pick a blonde dye to throw over my hair, which would also help tone out the yellowness, or I can continue to bleach it one more time and then apply purple-blue toner to achieve and platinum or white blonde color.

What are toners and how do I use them?

Toners comes in different shades, ranging from blue, purple, green and etc. what they basically do is, when applied with developer and applied to hair, basically cancels out the contributing pigments.

At the above photo, you can clearly tell I had Orange and Yellow underlining pigments.

To get a ‘pure’ color, you definitely want to cancel those out, so if I wanted to continue going blonde (depending on how much orange/yellow I have in my hair, it would also depend on the toner I need)

I would go ahead and use a purple-blue toner, my personal favorite is Wella White Lady, since it has both purple and blue in it to help cancel out all the yucky yellow and orange tones in my hair.

I personally don’t tone my hair tillI get it to this level of lightness. Since after 1 bleaching, and my hair is at that loooovely orange stage, the toner wouldn’t do anything or even budge it.

Toners have instructions in them so I wont bore you guys with any more info on them.

For my next post, I will go over some products for us wannabe blondors :B and the difference in different ‘bleach products’ and etc. Since this post has definitely gone pretty long already

AnimeConji 2011

Anime Conji was this past weekend! San Diego's first ever real Anime Convention, funny how it took us this long to actually come up with one. SD has always been famous for hosting Comic Con but as most of you know, its primarly a COMIC book convention :B and pop culture versus more of an anime one.

This was Conji's 2nd year around, the last time it was held at the Double Tree hotel and this year was at the Town & Country Inn, which had a convention center! but, unfortunately by the time we got there, it looked like the convention center got booked by another con which left Conji to try and pack everything in the little area that is the con, it felt like a maze/sardines walking through the tiny hallways with the vendors selling out of the hotel rooms! :o

yeah, well atleast this year felt like there was a bigger turn out of people. I didnt cosplay and unfortunately, I didnt even bother taking photos of cosplayers. There were a few but truth be told, I wasnt feeling it with the location of the con, and most of the people from ALA were at this con too. I also got the feeling that the con was a very 'sexified' con. Ahahaha rumors had it after we left at sat night, people were running in spanks and were having sex at the balcony in the whee hours of the morning! ahahahah

well, there WERE a few people running around in skimpy bikinis at the con, funny, it was under 65 the entire time, despite the sun being out, it was still pretty chilly!

lol, yesss my hair is brown and I got my extensions back on, I dont wear them daily. And dang, my hair went down in the chair! LOLZ. I guess its time to trim my layers again oAo;;

Has anyone else notice but Ash seems to have the coolest jackets all the time hu?!

yes a fashion comment, this one looked like a white motorcycle jacket with a hoodie too! it reminds me of my brothers white motor jacket.

Anthony, Amanda, Michael (of mTangproductions.com) and Ash all came Friday night to crash at our place to get ready for the con.
Got up sat morning and made everyone break fast :D hot cocoa, bacon, eggs and french toast.

I was pussyshit and Ash took over cooking the bacon xD coz I was like 'nyaaaarghgggh -rage- hot oil ;; lawlz'

Yeah clearly we are lame and didnt really do much. ahahaha ;; this video pretty much sums up my convention experience more or less. I 'borrowed' my friends Flip Cam :B fufufufu

I totally want a power-shot / point-and-shoot cam that does video just for silly willy photos and videos since I dont like the range of the flip so much. And i'd be nice to have a cam that fits in my back pocket. I think I simply have an obsession for camera oAo

if blogger doesnt work, link link from photobucket or add my FB
:B since I didnt wanna upload to youtube.
youtube has too much drama xD;; nyaha.

At the end of the day we ended going to the Mall and Starbucks to chill and catch up. made another video but it looks like blogspot said it might be too big. So. Link it is

At the end of the night, after korean BBQ we all returned back to the Condo for some good times and drinking. If any of you know Toshi and Shin irl, you should add me on FB and watch the Toshi parody video :B hehehehe we <3 you Toshi!!!!
and thanks to Ash and Michael for the red velvet cheese cake! I've never had cheesecake before but omfg that was amazing! oAo and it was from the cheesecake factory.

March Update

In a sad attempt to try and update this blog a lot more~ ahahaha
So just an update as of late.

Things are finally falling into place that they should :D
we just got a new flat screen tv for the living room. FTW! Just waiting now for the HDMI cables we order from Amazon to come in so I can play COD again :3

Just got a new car, its a White 2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback. Not my very first pick, but a car is a car! My top picks were the Scion XB (box cars ftw oAo), a Scion TC or the Acura RSX or a Honda Si. Was really banking on the box car since I test drove one a while ago and they are just freakin' awesome! I also test drove a TC before with a muffler in it! Back when I was thinking of trading in my 92 Jaguar. but backed out since the financing would have cost me $300 a month. oAo

but yes, now I am no longer carless. Just. Super broke >D! lalalalawlz. Mortgage payments ;_; yaaaay.

We broke in the new big screen with some good ol' Halo Reach. The tv I believe is 46"? not quite sure but something like that, sucks/sad that I'm pretty rusty with Halo. I've been more on Whack-ops lately ._____. but haven't played in awhile. lolz. I wonder how sucky I'd be if I picked it up again tonight.

but yes, busy busy, trying to get life in order. New car, now the hunt for new jobs. I have a stack of job apps/cover letters I need to write and send my resume out to. Amazing craigslist but sucks at the same time since the competition is so fierce! oAo its so unnerving sometimes since I'm not a college grad-yet. ;_; but I am applying for school again, come summer, I -need- to sign up for summer sessions since I missed Spring. bah! And could def use the Financial Aid too, school is not cheap at all! D<

so been busy doing that, I have a long list of things that 'needs to be done' thats just been piling up, more importantly - job apps needs to be done.
list a few items up on craigslist - unwanted furniture and other stuff
I've been itching to sew or make something for a while now. I've also looked back into possibly doing dread wigs/fall commissions again oAo I did miss doing that. I'll probably look at investing in a steamer too since I'm still doing the ghetto towel+really hot straightener method D<
since its getting warmer too, I can probably make my dread/falls at the balcony lawlz :B

I use to offer doing extensions for people via craigslist and do visual kei styling/cut/color for people up and down LA and SD county, but I think at this point I'd rather just go back to doing dreads. Less customer interaction xD;; no its not coz I'm anti social, its just easier to make dreads/falls and send them out rather than setting up a meeting time to do someones hair
and you have NO idea how hard/time consuming it is to do peoples extensions ;_; but I'm really debating about doing it again.

I almost feel that the cyber scene is dieing but not quite. I'd like to experiment with falls again and whatnot. I still have my old ruki hair piece. I'd love to make myself a big huge dread wig in browns and blondes fufufu. Big hair is big :D it might turn out to be a pretty heavy wig in the end + be super warm in the summer time too lolz. oh jeez.

but yeah, I have a few entries I need to finish writing up on my hair blog / product reviews and etc. I'm so behind. but most importantly, I need to finish my job applications! D<

Disneyland & New Room! :O

Hi~ Dead or alive?! once again behind on posting, not much entertainment has happened lately that was worth blogging about - except for. dundundn DISNEYLAND! :O

First of all. LOOK AT THIS GIANT A$$ STRAWBEBERRRY :O Placed it against a sharpie for size comparison coz I couldnt find a quarter xD at the time and I was getting ready to slice this bad boy up and throw it into a blender for a smoothie lawl.

That's still pretty big against the sharpie :o

but yes, this last weekend my friends kidnapped me and took me to Disneyland *A*

Thank you thank you thank youuuu~ ;; (now I gotta get a 2nd job and pay em' back >D)

First stop of the day was riding the train all around the park just to get a feel of the park was, since its been over 10+ years since any of us has been back there >D

our first stop was Tomorrow Land! And got some fast passes for autoban?....the crappy car driving school that wont let you go pass 6.5 MPG .___.

Then while waiting, we went ahead and shot for Mata-horn! >D the line wasnt that bad for this ride so early in the morning, we probably arrived just as the park was opening up and sure enough, even before entering the park, security has managed to stop me and Mikey coz I guess we look like were up to no good ._.

The old man was questioning me if I stuffed something in my Dr Martens....since I took it off prior to entering the security gate coz there was a rock in there D<>

Oh by the way, all photos taken were taken with my cellphone since I didn't feel like bringing my giant DSLR. I have YET to get a small point-and-shoot camera to take with me places *A* or atleast a powerful enough powershot /:

shortly after, we walked around a bit looking for a smoker poll for Mikey xD then made our way to Fantasy Land. Got hungry and grabbed a Churo >D fucking shits are $3.50! D<>D

We got inline for Dumbo but ended up bailing since we got HUNGRY D<>:D

I ended up getting a breakfast platter >D mhm eggs, bacon and toast LAWLS, I think Breakfast foods is THE best type of food anytime LAWLS

After 'brunch' we walked around Downtown Disney a bit more (and sadly convincing Ash to suck it up and come back down to SD with us that night for some drinking and karaokekekeke) we then made our way back to Disneyland, I don't think we really hit anymore other rides after coming back, we def worked our way towards Frontier to get into Thunder mountain! >:D

we met some Jedis too~ lawls and we also tried to get a fast pass for Space Mountain but didn't make it intime ._.

but we did ended up getting a fast pass for Thunder Mountain, got in line for almost an hr >D then right after we got through our first run, quickly jumped back on for our 2nd time around! Def my fav!!! ride throughout Dland. I remember me and my bro riding this almost 6 times last time we went.

We didnt get a chance to visit the Haunted Mansion - which is also my favorite since the line was just too much, it was starting to get pretty dark so we made our way back to Mainstreet USA to browse the shops and look at merch. we couldn't afford xD!
next time we come back I definitely need to have $$$ with me ._.

being a disneyland has definitely brought back some lovely kiddie memories and rekindled my love for good ol' classic Disney. I ampted myself the last couple weeks by watching all sorts of Disney documentaries on Netflix lawls. I need to visit DisneyWORLD. Since my fam is in Florida....why not?! lawls. I didnt get to go last time I flew out there ._.

We didnt stay for the fire works or anything since we wanted to hurry home for some drinkings. Funny, everyone passed out on the car on the way home and I entertained myself with my ipod and cutting people off all the way down to SD >D
Drove ALL the way down to Downtown SD near Mikey/Cathy's place to pick up more booze then drive all the way back up North to my place. lawls, no one really got drunk except Earl since the rest of us were just too tired....lawwwwlz
fail.

Anyways moving on! :D
I'm officially moved into the room and no more living/sleeping in the living room >D~
yay. So in light of me moving into my new "room", I decided to PAINT IT >D I need color in my life :D considering my last room was a nice LINK GREEN. kekekeke :D
this room was a nasty green so I decided. NURGH! PURPLE! PURPLE IT IS!

you can see the 'green' it was before on the right side. 8D

and the final results:

I've been optimizing my email lately~ well, I've been using it more and more lately
versus 'texting' or messaging people via social network sites (such as Facebook, myspace, etc)
I use to write alot of 'letters' using postage stamps and etc to close friends.

No one nowadays seems to do the good ol' pen & paper trick or even the use of emails lately.
Everyone seems to like the good ol' text message, for instant answers and whatnot.
But since I dont use those new 'full keypad' cellphones, I find it hard to keep up with a full lenght conversation via text message LAWLs. yes. I like old flip phones and I /dislike/ touch screens lol. I have a love/hate relationship with my iTouch as is :D ahahaha, just wanted to ramble about it~
And I guess I'm just so sick of using my 'email' for 'official' matters such as work and etc. Ahahahaha, wasnt the use of e-mails to help eliminate the use of postage and papersXD?
well, then, why not use it more often~ sometimes I DO prefer opening my email inbox to see SOMETHING other than 'bills' or 'work' related emails sitting there for me to read hahaha.

but thats beside the point of this post~ I figured I dont post here enough so, why not ahahaha.
so alittle updates~

I got Prestige Class (Level 50) on Call of Duty Black Ops last night :D w00t~ ahahaha.
Doubt anyone would really care ahahaha~ but sure why not >:D

I also caught a cold D': boo, sore throat is sore....;;

I've also tried the jumprope challenge yesterday - it is beastly >:D I recommend it to anyone who want to try and introduce Cardio into their work out and doesnt quite have the discipline to go to the gym daily (coughToshicough) lol.

I also downloaded 2 of Anna Tsuchiya's Albums; Strip Me & Nudy?
amazing so far! >:D so far my favorite is; (other than Rose) is Slap That Naught Body.
ahaahha surprisingly all (if not, most) of the songs are in english and she has superb english!!
a lot of the songs are powerful~ with hip and interesting beats too ;3

I also opened a new tumblr account, my main account (lobstercockroach) is mostly used for 'reblogging' and whatnot, so I opened another one (dearxx.tumblr.com) which is going to serve as a shameless place for me to dump old photos >D ahahaha~ mostly random photos from life :D
while I keep black-heaven.tumblr.com as a photodump for photoshoots and cons
