Pastel hair

I seem to love it more and more. The internet is really intro the trend of pastel goth, fairykei and pastel things in general these days. Which really delights me because I adore pastels. Especially pastel hair! I wish I could have pastel hair as well. But probably a wig ^^

This definitely reminds me of Luka's hair. I love the length~

And who can exclude pastelbat? Definitely not me. She's the goddess of all things pastel and pastel gothic.

Japanese question words

Now, this blog isn't dedicated to Japanese but I like to use it to express my tips on learning and to share what I've learnt. 

Questions will generally end with ka か. Think か as a question mark. You can turn any statement into a question by adding か at the end.


あなたは 日本人 です

Halloween is over :c

This was my halloween costume. I was quite happy with it. As you can see, I have an ice-cream headband. I'm head to toe in pink sweet lolita. My outfit was nominated for best Halloween costume xD but every day is Halloween with me...

LOL. Yes, my friends had a real kick out of it. Me holding gloomy bear with Matthew trying to lick my ice cream D:

Half of my face is smudged with red lipstick and half is stitched up with black eyeliner.  Half of me is scarred and permanently broken. The other half is in pain and bleeding. I just thought it was an interesting concept. I had black eye shadow on and used black gel eyeliner on the corners of my eyes.This is a wig, btw. Plus add the sweet doll aesthetic and you have something more. 

So many people in my school dressed up which wasn't expected due to my school's reserved nature. Quite awesome costumes, might I add. From left to right: Me, rabbit, Tony Stark, ?, Morph, Pippin long stockings, a cheetah. I am not quite sure. These were just some of the nominees. There were teachers who dressed up as rabbits, zombies, Jack Sparrow... oh my god. It was just awesome. I spent pretty much my study period just taking photos with friends and messing about.

More Japanese in your life

Want to use Japanese more in your life? It'd be easier to catch along to things and it'd be useful to know the names of every day objects. This post won't focus on the cultural side (so I won't be telling you to use chopsticks more) but on the linguistic side instead.

Some tips:

• Replace your labels in Japanese
• Subscribe to those daily vocabulary newsletters. Click here
• Change your social networking site (fb?) to Japanese
• Change your phone language to Japanese
• Memorise one new word/phrase a day and try to incorporate it in your conversations
• Read, watch anything with Japanese in it (manga! anime!)
• Read and translate Japanese children's books
• Buy from Japanese brands more often (Daiso)

Meteor Shower~

Tonight, I was visited by my brother, who wanted to look out my window at the sky.
He told me to turn off all the lights in my room, and close my computer so the unnatural
light would not obstruct the clear night sky.
Once all lights had been turned off, I finally joined my brother on my window ledge,
and asked him what was going on, to which he replied 'Tonight is supposed to be the final night
of one of the year's best meteor showers'.
It was not uncommon that my brother would come into my room, looking out of my window for
shooting stars, - at certain times of the year of course; he doesn't just barge in randomly seeking
meteors.
We sat watching for a few moments, before he began to tell me that he had seen flashes in the sky,
and they were too faint to be lighting, not to mention the fact that no clouds were out.
It wasn't long before we saw one of these flashes for ourselves and - despite the time - decided to sit
out in the garden, and watch the meteor shower; my brother settled himself into the garden chair,
and I took a pillow from the house, and lay on the ground (Fortunately, the weather today has been
warm, and the night was rather cool; not bad conditions for meteor watching, I'll have you know).
After seeing quite a few of the flashes, I asked my brother what they actually were, to which he
replied that he had no idea, but that was yet to come. After a while, we began to see small, and
gradually better, and more spectacular shooting stars, which only lasted seconds, but were worth
the wait to see.
In between falling meteors, my brother and I began talking about the universe, life, and the stars
themselves. Despite the night being extremely quiet, save for the distant sound of cars, we were
whispering each time we spoke, probably my brother's way of making sure we didn't wake up the
neighbours.
After seeing a particulary amazing meteor, me and my brother began discussing dark matter.
He told me that, in theory, it has to be there. Our galaxy moves at a certain speed, he said, that it
shouldn't be going with the amount of 'stuff' that is in it, and, if dark matter was in our galaxy,
then it would exlain why we are moving at so-speed. He said that, 'Think about it; maybe entire
stars, planets, and maybe even lifeforms, could be made out of darkmatter... a planet made entierly
out of dark matter, inhabited by dark matter lifeforms, could pass through Earth, and we would never
know... dark matter is the opposite of everything we are. Its simply undetectable by us..'. This got me thinking, and I replied 'So, that would be a reasonable argument for ghosts- well, not ghosts per say. Humans define ghosts as those who have died and remain living in a sort of 'limbo' or haven't yet
moved on to a afterlife. What I'm saying is, that dark matter lifeforms would be the same concept; they exsist without our knowing, but we still have that theory that they exsist..'.
We carried on talking about complicated things that, eventually, made my head hurt, due to the
complexcity of what my brother was suggesting, such as time working not just in 1 dimention, but in all 3.
After seeing two last meteors, the time got to half past 12, and we decided to call it a night.
All in all, it was all very peaceful, I'd love to make it a yearly thing..
