Re-evaluation

Things aren't turning out as I had hoped....

I really hope that it will get better soon....

In the mean time... here's my current ear worm:



And I'm looking forward to getting a new haircut, hairdye and perm since my hairdresser just came back from her trip back to Japan.

Choices, Choices... Hmm...?

I've been feeling the urge to dye my hair recently. Partly due to the fact that my roots are growing out (but it's less obvious then before as my hair's darker in colour currently) and partly because I just have the urge to do something different.

And by different, I really mean DIFFERENT. Since my school's started, I've realised my time of getting crazy hair colours is slowly ticking away. I highly doubt an office job would allow such hair colour unless I work for a fashion magazine or something and that is a really big IF.

So Since I haven't really done much crazy hair colours other then going lighter then most of my country's population I've turned to some pictures for inspiration and managed to narrow the choice down to 3:
Who: Staff-chan of Grimoire
Style: Two-tone hair dyeing with a light brown top and pinkish almost magenta-like tips, this was done by the dolly-kei group before it was picked up by gyaru
Pros: Most achievable as I could do some minor bleaching to get my hair to the light brown colour, plus if my hair tips dies from the pink tips, they can be easily cut away
Cons: Finding a shop that has pink hair dye
(I was also swayed to pink hair thanks to Steph's awesome pink hair! But I doubt I could do justice or have the courage she has to pull off a whole head of pink, so I'll settle for this.)
Who: Staff-chan of Grimoire (yes, I'm a major fan of Dolly-kei...)
Style: Bluish-purplish dyed hair with slight tinge of gray I think.
Pros: Probably won't need to do root touch-ups for awhile since black roots would somewhat blend in for awhile and it's a really unique colour
Cons: I think this colour looks better on shorter hair and it looks more gothic then gyaru. Plus I need to find a shop with blue/purple hairdye and a good hairdresser who can do a proper mix of the 2 colours.
(This hair colour really reminds me of Ceil Phantomhive's hair of Kuroshitsuji, so awesome!)
Who: Nonoka from Egg
Style: Two-tone hair dyeing with platinum blonde and purple ends
Pros: Really unique hair colour that combines the two other styles above
Cons: I highly suspect my hair would frizz up and die from the bleaching needed to get it this blonde. Not to mention, I'll have to do root touch-ups every month or so (black roots on blonde hair is sooo not sexy) and its more Goth then gyaru.
(least likely to happen option, but one can always dream right?)
I'm more partial to the first option but I'm really on the fence about it. Hmm..... I've been deliberating for about a week or so already but haven't come any closer to a decision so I'm turning it over to you guys.

Which colour should I do? I'm also open to ideas from you guys Thanks!

Dreams... of My Own Home

Here's to dreaming:

In a city, but near the sea so that I can smell the fresh sea breeze everyday...
I'll walk down quaint streets like these...
And chill at cafes like these on my off days...


I'll have a reading corner in my home with piles of books scattered on the floor, high windows for plenty of light and a small table nearby to leave my pot of tea...


Of course I'll have a walk-in wardrobe, maybe as opulent as Kimora Lee Simmons... with plenty of shelving for shoes, bags, accesories and clothes...


The walls would have plenty of frames and pictures up like this, to hold photos of family and friends and...

Crazy artwork like this...



My living room would be filled with random furniture that don't exactly match but complement each other all the same....



My dining table would be small and round with a few chairs, I hate how cold, long rectangle tables are, you can only interact with those directly opposite or next to you...


My bedroom would be simple, as would my makeup table...

I'll take plenty of bubble baths with scented candles nearby....

I'll listen to music using my steampunk style Ipod...


Using the Grado RS1 heaphones (with a better sound system of course)...

And surf the net with my steampunk style computer and use a pocket watch to keep time...

I'll be 21 next month.... 15th of July to be exact and it's really dawning on me that I am already an adult. I've many more things to accomplish, things which I used to think when I was younger that I would have already accomplished by now such as getting my driving licence, having a job I love or in University doing a course I love, having a crazy social life etc.

But my path to where I am has been paved with plenty of fences and cobblestones so I need to get my head out of the dream cloud and really start to work on what I want to achieve, which is my dream job of being an Image Consultant.

However, despite my need for a dose of reality, I still love dreaming and lately, I've been dreaming of the kind of home I'd like if I could have it anywhere in the world and at any cost....

Now to only make this dream of mine real...
