I wish everyone a wonderful and healthy 2013 and may all their wishes come true and achieve their goals and dreams.

I actually don't have any resolutions for the new year, the main thing that I want is to stay healthy of course and wanting a bf wish is never left out ^_^"

That would be for now. Hope to see everyone in 2013 (it actually already is ^_^")

(I got in total of 1558 views in 2012, I hope I can pass that this year ^_^)

Top moments I had in 2012:

• Going to A(エース), An Cafe and Big Bang concert. Having seen 2 of my top Visual Kei bands here in the Netherlands was a dream come true. And ofcourse seeing Big Bang was a big dream come true. Having been into kpop for about 5/6 years and Big Bang was one of the few bands I started listening and having fallen in love with their music straight away and hoping to see them live some day. After 5/6 years and they are finally coming to Europe to the UK, and me finally able to see them live. (for my experience click here)

• Finally meeting Nyny ^_^ (She also have an amazing blog, go and check it out by clicking here) after being in contact with her for some time I was finally able to meet her. Time was short but it was really nice ^_^ hope that next time will be longer ^_^

• My school year finally went well. After having changing school a few times, I have finally found the school with the right course that suits me the best.

• I had an amazing internship. Its always hard to find an internship were you love working/learning and that your co workers and leaders are nice. I was very lucky to find one that I enjoyed and that everyone was nice working with. My leader was very flexible in working and all my co workers didn't want me to leave when I was done with my internship.

• Went to animecon again in HK in the summer. in 2011 I went to animecon in HK and I had a lot of fun bought a lot made a lot of pictures, so when my parents decided to go got HK again in 2012 to see my grandma I decided to go again, but it was a bit of disappointment here were less stuff to buy, less stands but there were more cosplayers.

Hopes I have for 2013:

• Dynasty Warriors 8, Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning's Return and GTA5 these 3 games I have been waiting since 2012. As a person who loves gaming GTA5 can not be left out. Every gamer out there is waiting the release of this game. I will be released in the 2nd Quarter of the year (presumed in May) I do hope that it will not be pushed forward again. Also being a huge DW and  FF  fan, those 2 games cannot be left out of my list. Having played all the previous DW games, the new one is a must have for my collection. Having seen that there will be new character available and new play modes. The game will be released in Japan in February for Europe is still unknown. Last but not least FF Having played XIII and XIII-2, Lighting's Return is also a must have for me. Curious how the story will end and what will happen to Lightning. In the press conference it mentioned that it will be release in 2013 but nothing else is mentioned. I am hoping that it will come around summer or at least not like Final Fantasy Versus that has never been released.

• Big comebacks in kpop. SNSD had their comeback with I got a Boy. I was expecting something big from them as they are one of the leading Hallyu waves artist, but I was very disappointed when I saw the actual MV and song (for the review click here). I do hope that some other kpop artist will have some good comebacks. in 2012 there weren't many comebacks that were good or any good debut songs. I am not expecting Big Bang to have a comeback though, because they just have world tour for a year, flying back and forth. I do let them a some time off and rest though. They do deserve it.

• More exciting Kdramas. First of all I cannot wait till IRIS2 premiers. I am going to watch not only because Doojoon (B2ST) & Lee Joon (MBLAQ) are acting in it, but because having watched Iris 1 & Athena, this drama has made into a number 1 must watch. As I love action movies/tv dramas I don'd mind romantic stuff (chickflicks) but the drama really needs a plot. I watch quite some tvdramas last year (kdrama, jdrana,twdrama,cdrama) and alot of them doesn't catch me. I just recently finished watching Fashion King, it took me 3 months to finish that because the plot just doesn't catch me. So I hope that this year(2013) there will be more good tvdramas.

Must do in 2013:

• Meeting more Korean/kpop lovers. It would be nice to meet more people with the same interest. I love meeting new people so that would be great ^_^ also meeting Koreans would be nice, they can help me to improve my Korean.

• learning Korean (again). At least to do some Korean study twice a week. I really want to study Korean again and improving it would be nice. So far I can only say words. I want to at least able to read and understand Korean ^_^

• updating my blog more. I am planning to write more reviews on mv/pv/tv shows/drama (chinese, korean, japanese) etc.
  

1 year anniversary ^_^

Hello everyone ^_^

So today is exactly 1 year that I have started blogging. on 21 November 2011 is when I posted my first post. I thank the people that has read my post in the past year.

In the beginning when I started blogging, I had no clue what to blog about. I could have blogged about everything, tutorials, reviews, everyday life, etc. So I started out with post about stuff that I I can't say to people but really want to lose it. Slowly after that I started reviews on items I ordered online. That also slowly went to me reviewing about the concerts I have been. So far I only reviewed 2 concerts. I am thinking if I should write a post about my other 2 concerts that I went to before I started this blog.

I was also doing 2PM scenarios for some time, but then I slowly stopped, I still want to do it but I just can't find the time to do it and I started it because no one was doing 2PM scenarios. But now there are quite some people on tumblr that does it. I still have a list of request from people, so when I find the time I will definitely do it and I might started doing other kpop groups as well or like on request, so that I wont be just doing 2PM, but that is a HUGE MAYBE, don't have hopes up.

Also I recently started continuing my fanfic as well on asianfanfics.com of course the update is slow as mentioned before with the 2PM scenarios, I don't really have the time as I am busy with my internship and school and of course personal life as well.

I have a lot of things that I want to do such as updating my scenarios and fanfics regularly, doing something more with the blog, but I just never get around to do it.

I would thank everyone that clicks on my blog and read my post, even they are random. *waves* thank you very much.

 

p.s. I like to ask, is anyone going to see BigBang Alive Galaxy Concert in London? I am going on the 15th with 2 of my friends. It would be nice if we could meet and be friends IVIPs <3 if you are going I hope to see you there.

An Cafe @ Melkweg 9 November 2012

When I found out that An Cafe was coming to Amsterdam, I was so happy so happy. After a whole month I couldn't find anyone to go with, since I don't want to go alone, I began to give hope of going to see them. Just when I was about to give up, a friend of mine ask if I would be going since I has no one to go with as well. We both took the chance and went together, and we both end up seeing some friend that went to A(エース). The concert was amazing, one they got on stage everyone went crazy, After they played their first song they made their first talk. It was really cute how they were talking in English. They also provide so mush fan service.

After playing for about 15 minutes they were introducing each member with very funny names. Yuki was so hyper since the beginning of the concert as if he couldn't stand still. There was 2 songs were Miku and Yuki were singing/rapping. After 30 minutes of playing they got of stage, of course everyone was screaming An Cafe and Encore. After 10 minutes they got back on stage and changed their clothes. Once again everyone went crazy and they start playing again. Since my standing place was close to Takuya, I made most pictures and videos of him I wanted to take more pictures of Kanon but he was at the other side of the stage. At some point Takuya saw my camera and kept smiling at it also he has thrown 2 of his guitar picks into the crowd, unfortunately I didn't get them.

When it was the ending of the of the show they were posing with a Japanese flag for people to take pictures, they even got of stage for a bit for people to take pictures. When they got back on stage they were touching people hands and of course I went to the front as well. Being one of the shortest girls there I got to touch Takuya and Kanon hands. And of course I was happy like crazy Afterwards Miku took his shirt off, didn't had enough time to take a picture of that. I got some An Cafe badges and a hooded zipper, that I am totally in love with.

Videos click here they are shaky because I was jumping and enjoying the concert as well.

Pictures click here and some pictures previews, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THEM WITHOUT PERMISSION, I TOOK THEM ALL BY MYSELF.

Kanon (bass) has black with blond hair, Miku (Vocal) has light brown hair, Takuya (Guitar) has Black hair, Yuki (Keyboard) has blond curly hair with sunglasses and Teruki (drums) has black hair.

                                         

I really have enjoyed the concert of An Cafe, hope that next time they will come again =D

and I have taken all the pictures and videos with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2

A(エース) @Trivoli 8 July 2012

Sunday 8th July 2012

My friend won 2 tickets to see A(エース) in Utrecht and I was lucky that I was able to go along with him. So I knew that they were coming to Holland since they announced it, but I couldn't find anyone to go with me until my friends ask if there was anyone to go with.

My day was simple meeting with my friend and his friend and we took the train to Utrecht. We were 3 hours early in Utrecht so we went for some food at KFC. We then went to look for the right bus as none of us are familiar in that surrounding. After finding the right bus and got to the right place we met up with everyone else that are going to see A(エース). With 2 whole hours to go were just messing around and talking and listening to music outside. As time was going by the doors opened (YAAAY). Once everyone was inside everyong put their bags away, buy stuffs, etc. Then the door opened to the stage we got in waited AND THEN A(エース) came on stage. Obviously everyone went crazy.

Pictures & Videos

Picture previews:

Toshi - Bass has light brown hair, Nimo - Vocals and has black hair and a pirate hat on, Rookie Fiddler - Violin and has blond hair with braids.

                        

I really liked Toshi solo and Rookie Fiddler violing parts were so beautiful. Also when I was filming Rookie Fiddler and he saw that I was filming him, he tend to stay longer in sight for me to film him. Nimo english was cute and I really like how he include the audience when he was singing was so nice. They all have such a big stage presence.

I was using my 12 megapixel camera in the beginning and the picture and videos turned out worse then the ones I took with my Iphone4 -_-

BUT that was ok because most important was that I enjoyed the concert. I was happy that I was able to see A(エース) live and so close.

A new chapter in my life

I should have written this post like way back in February, but writing it now doesn't make a big difference either.

In February 2012 I changes school, I went from an international school (studying IB) to a a dutch school (ROCvA studying ICT). When I was in international school I was happy but over stressed. I studying to get the grades but unable to get it. Teachers told me that they can see that I am studying hard for it but I just never able to get it. They told me that it is beter to go to another school instead of wasting all my energy in studying and money (international school are like privates school, so the price is a lot). That is when I started looking for a new school. As I was looking for a new school I was asking myself  "What do I want to do in the future that I would enjoy?". Having that question in mind and searching for a new school I went to ask some friends. One of my friend who happens to be studying ICT  at that moment gave me some thinking.

I enjoy working with computers, I have knowledge about them. Why not go and study ICT system administration. I could have chosen any ICT course but I chose system administration because well my friends happen to be studying it and I needed to start somewhere with ICT, especially I tend to work better in a place where I already know some people.

So having started ICT system administration since February which I have been enjoy so much even my parents could tell I am much happier and look less tired. Of course I also made a lot of new friends. I also have noticed myself that I have changed.

 

For me going to a new school making new friends is like opening a new chapter in my life and I am ready to make many new chapters in my life in the future.

BB Cream

BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm, is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia, although larger beauty brands are increasingly transferring BB creams to European markets as well. more info click here

I have used in total of 3 different bb cream and I have used them now all more then 3 months.

The first one will be the Skinfood Peach Sake Pore BB Cream (30ml) I got this one for €12

      

This has the following properties:

- Provides a natural light coverage on the face
- Does not grayish complexion
- Peach extracts will take care of oily skin and soothe
- Sake ensures a good control tallow
- Regular use reduces pores and smoothes the skin
- Has a nice natural fruity fragrance
- The SPF20/PA + protects the skin from the sun

This BB Cream also smells like Peach, and it has 2 different shades light and normal beige. I purchased the normal beige, when I first used it, it did cover up the red spots I have on my face but it doesn't cover up my dark circles. Which was a shame because it smelled really nice and covered really well except the dark circle. It is also not sticky even after the whole day wearing it. This bb cream is suitable for combines skin.

The next one is Missha Perfect Cover (20ml) I got this one for €19

      

This has the following properties:

- High protection against UV radiation: SPF 42/PA + + +
- Reduces pigmentation
- Prevents skin aging
- Hydrates the skin, all day
- Reduces blemishes such as acne or skin blemishes
- The skin will look natural

This BB Cream sells in 2 different colouers #21 Light Beige and the #23 natural Beige. This BB cream is slightly better than the Skinfood, this ones was able to cover up the red spots and the dark circle's I had. Only the disadvantage was that it has a grey undertone and it takes some time before it changes into your own skin colour. This is also suitable for combines skin.

And the last one is the Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus BB Cream (40ml) I got this for €19

      

This has the following properties:

- Gives the face a natural look
- Contains almost only natural ingredients
- Perfect coverage, but closes in contrast to a foundation of the pores not depend
- Replaces not only your foundation, but also your moisturizer
- Conceals facial blemishes, pigmentation, acne and other blemishes
- Regenerates the skin and reduces wrinkles, fine lines and acne
- Contains Arbutin for a solid color
- Contains Phyto-Complex for optimum nutrition of the skin
- Contains extracts of green tea, sunflower seeds and rice for skin protection
- Protects the skin against UV A and B radiation SPF25/PA + +
- This BB Cream is oil free and does not feel sticky

Last but not least the Skin79 and I have to say that I LOVE THIS ONE, this one come in 2 different colours as well Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm and the Skin79 VIP Gold Label Super Plus Beblesh Balm. This one covers everything my dark circle and red spots even some acne that I have, this is like the perfect one for me. and the nice thing is that is has a bump (can't remember how to spell that word ^^") only one disadvantage is that is has a really strong grey undertone but it tends to go away when its been blended with your skin. This BB cream is suitable for all skins types.

Circle lenses

A little information for the people that doesn't know what circle lenses are:

Circle contact lenses make one's eyes appear larger and come in a variety of colors and effects. They are a new fashion trend in Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan. The diameter of regular contact lenses that are sold in the United States are on average 14mm–16mm, similar to the diameter of the cosmetic circle contact lenses. For more information click here.

So I have recently started using circle lenses, as I only orderd 2 different colours to try out. I ordered the normal ones which the outer ring is black and I ordered brown ones. each pair I can wear them for 3 months. The most popular brand of it is CEO, the one I ordered is Phantasee.

The first time I wore the black ones I looked really weird as I didn't wear any make-up. After that I tend to wear my circle lenses with some eye make-up so that I won't look ridiculous. Recently I have been wearing my brown circle lenses. As it looked like a light brown instead of dark brown it really gave me away that I am wearing a different colour, but since it is now spring I tend to wear more eye make-up to match it.

This is the brown circle lenses, I didn't take picture of the black ones but you can imagine where it is brown here is black.

  

I purchased this on a dutch site called beautylenzen I purchased them for around €20. They are soft lenses and the quality of it is really good.

   

Right: me with black lenses, Left: with brown lenses.

I won't say that I will recommend it or not recommend it, because some people eyes are very sensitive and some aren't and this is after all my opinion. BUT if you really want to get circle lenses then I would say go for it. I hope that this has helped a bit for you gous that want to get circle lenses ^^.

China Glaze Crackle nail polish

Hey everyone ^^ I am back with another review, as promised before.

This time the review is the crackle nail polish from China Glaze. I now already own them for about 4/5 months and I have to admmit. I am in love with it. So I purchased 3 different colours, they are Black Mesh (black), Oxidized aqua (light blue) and Fault Line (purple).

(left without flash, right with flash)

  

I have used all tree colours right now and I love the oxidized aqua the most as it is a  metallic colour. As the stargazer one that i review before, I realize that there is this chemical smell in it when applied. I am assuming that it is the chemical that causes the crackle. But having to find the right colour combination was a little bit hard for me as I don't own a lot of colour except for black and some dark colours. But if you own a lot of different colours it wont be a problem to do some experiment with the colours. What I also have noticed is that when I use the Stargazer it have apply new nail polish after 2/3 weeks but with the Chine Glaze it stays perfet for at least a month before it starts off chipping.



In this picture I already have the nail polish on for about 3 weeks and it still looking like when I applied it. If it was the Stargazer it would have chipped off most of it.
