Tokyo post 1

Hellooo!

I've been in Tokyo since Monday,, and I'm loving it! There's always the thing of getting used to being stared at, but mostly the people are so nice here :)

The first day we were super tired, we had to change planes in Vienna, and our Tokyo flight was 3,5 h late, so the total waiting time was 7,5 h! And I didn't get much sleep on the plane, so I was pretty beat. But we went to the super market and made food and watched some TV and went to sleep at about 8 pm :D The next morning I woke up up at 5.30 and couldn't sleep anymore so I just read a magazine and surfed the internet :D Later, when everyone was awake we went to Akihabara to buy one of those one time only cameras that were really popular in the 90's. After that we went to Shibuya so that I could get my extensions :) loving them, so loooooong ;D And the girl who did them for me was so funny!! She's the same I had in December, she's super sweet :) And then we checked out some shops in 109, went to karaoke and came home at 11.30. On Wednesday we went to Harajuku but it was raining so much, we didn't stay long. I managed to buy shoes, a hat and 2 t-shirts though ;D Later we made pancakes :) On Thursday we checked out the second hand shops here in Koenji where we're staying. I bought sandals from Listen Flavor, but all of the vintage shops were really expensive :/ even jeans shorts would go for atleast 3000 yen :( so we went home and made food and started drinking. We went to a local bar we also went to last year, and had a great time! On Friday we again went to Harajuku because the weather was better, it was really humid though, so not very comfortable. But the guy in the Sex Pot Revenge shop was super nice! So cute! I chatted with him for a while and he gave me a flyer to go to Decadance when he heard I like to party LOL. Theeen we went to Shinjuku to eat and to look at the awesome views from the Office Government Building. It's free, so if you ever go to Tokyo, you should definitely go! We were in Koenji at around 9.30 and found a cute band playing outside the station. They were so good!! http://www.monograman.com/ They are playing again today, so we're gonna go watch :) Today we're going to Ueno park for a picnic.

Catch you later!

Freeeeze!

The title pretty much says what kind of weather it's been lately here in Finland, like -11 or 13 everyday! Soooo freakin' cold. But anyway, I have a few outfit photos, these are all without outerwear because with it, it would get boring because I only have one really warm jacket that I've been using.

On Thuesday I went to see Sum41! So of course I had to drink some beer too ;D Anyway, it was one of the best concerts I've been to, they played all my favourite songs and I had an awesome time, worth every cent :)

On Thursday I got my hair dyed, I'm really happy with the result :)
Outfit on Thursday, new socks from Seppälä
Me on Saturday earlier in the evening
Saturday later when we went to We got Beef, a bar in Helsinki

On Friday I went to a Christmas party with uni ppl, I didn't have my camera but I'll hopefully get some pictures from other people. EDIT! Got one of my outfit, thank you, Juha! :)
Oh, and I seem to have a thing for touching my hair in every picture, what's up with that? :D
Bye for now

Outfit from some day, can't remember which

Getting drunk on beer on Saturday a week ago, enough said about that

Make-up on Friday, I did actually but a dark purple eyeshadow on my upper lid but the camera didn't capture it at all :(

Outfit on Saturday for dinner with my mom and brother

Winter wonderland, it's been snowing like crazy the last few days

So I haven't been doing anything interesting, just working and studying. I'm just dead scared I'll catch some monster flu because all of the customers coughing at me at the register >.< cover your mouth! Now I need to continue studying, bye!

Hey!

Last week was so crappy and kind of good too :D Anyway it left me thinking about a lot of stuff and I'm still trying to figure some of them out :)I tried to take a picture of the moon on Thursday because it looked so pretty but I kinda failedThis is a sculpture made out of used car tires! I think it's so cool, it's on one of the university campuses :)
Going out on Saturday, we went to a club called Tivoli because Fia leaves tomorrow for Thailand and shes's going to be away until spring :'(

Yesterday we had a small photo shoot with Tia, she needs pictures for her portfolio. This was my first outfit with different shoes of course ;D And I hadn't had my make-up or hair done so that's why I'm not showing my face :D I'll upload more pictures once Tia is done editing them, I hope they turned out well :)

~Rina~

Hello!
Since yesterday the weather has been getting colder so it's time to post some summery pictures :D

These are all taken from this week from various walks I've taken with Sanna and Annika
Friday outfit~

And Friday make-up

On Friday I had my last real test of the year but I have a feeling I need to re-take it because some questions I didn't have a clue how to answer :'D Anyway, after the test I had lunch with C in one of the parks of Helsinki, afterwards I met up with Tia and hung out with her for a while. Then it was time for party with uni friends. I had so much fun again. Then Sanna picked me up and we went to get some food and went to her place to eat and watch Kill Bill 2.
I haven't really been doing much, just studying, tanning and taking walks basically. Oh, on Wednesday it was quiz night so of course I went :) Tomorrow I should get the results from my blood tests, fingers crossed I don't have anything!
xx

~Rina~

Help me, doctor!

Today I went to see a doctor because of my stomach and I have to go back for blood tests tomorrow.
Last week I had some work and besides that I've been tanning and seeing friends. Last week I took a one-night trip with some uni friends to crash a field course where some other uni friends were. And of course it involved drinking :D I don't have any pictures but that might be just as well :D I only have one picture that I took with my cellphone and it's just of some flowers that were really pretty :) But anyway that was a hilarious trip! The last few days it's been so warm so I've been studying for my test outside while tanning :D Maybe not very effective...
Outfit from Wednesday~ I love those stockings, they're like fishnet-ish but with like a flower-lace pattern :D The shoes are from Stockholm when I went there in March, so comfortable even if they have a lot of heel because it's a wedge heel :)

Mint green and blue lines

Hey, it's been about a week ago I last posted I guess but well I haven't really had much to write about and also I don't have any pictures of my outfits. But, last week I bought a lovely mint green nail polish from IsaDora and a cute blue eyeliner pen from Lumene. I think blue eyeliner looks really cute when you've got a bit of a tan but I've been using it already :D My parents are in Madrid now so of course I had some friends come over on Friday and Saturday and I had so much fun both nights! Buuut on Saturday I was so clumsy and dropped a glass bulb that we use to cover our cheese and a friend of mine locked herself in the bathroom, the lock just broke and couldn't be turned so we had to break up the door... I felt like a burglar doing it :D
So I wrote earlier that I'd been sick and I think I know now what caused it: I might have coeliac disease! It's that you have to stay away from wheat, rye and barley because your digestion can't handle the protein found in them. So I've stayed away from those and I haven't had any problems since. I still have to get tests done but I'm pretty sure now. But it's a huge change for, I've never had stuff that I can't eat because they make me feel bad :/ I also discovered I can't drink beer anymore because it's brewed from barley :/ But I'm trying to get used to this and I think I'm doing OK.
Lately I've been listening to a lot of Savage Garden and Darren Hayes. I've loved Savage Garden ever since I heard them for the first time and when they broke up I started to listen to the solo works of Darren Hayes who was the singer in Savage Garden. I just love the lyrics and the music and I can't really explain what fascinates me about the music but I've been listening to it for about ten years and I'm still not bored :D Some of my favourite songs are I don't know you anymore, The animal Song, To the moon and back, Affirmation, Crash 'n' Burn and Truly Madly Deeply and from Darren Hayes Strange relationship, Insatiable and Creepin up on you, but really the list could pretty much cover all of their songs :D OK, enough of me fangirling :D C ya!

P.S. I'm thinking about getting extensions in Japan, this is the kind of hair I'd want~
Ranzuki model Nicorun

Hey, sorry I've been so lazy with updating but I haven't really done much to write about :D On Saturday I went out though with two of my uni friends and I had sooo much fun, really I can't remember when the last time was I had that much fun at a club. It wasn't because of the club though because well it was nice but did not live up to the hype about it. Anyway when I woke up the next morning my feet were killing me because I had had heels on.
And I did some shopping, hahah, no I just bought a hat! And I love it :)Sorry, crappy cell phone quality again ^^;
And yesterday I bumped into M in town so we decided to hand out. She had just ordered some new extensions and a fake fringe! Haha, I tried them on and I must say the fake fringe was fricking conveniant!
So everything you see on my head in this picture is fake! Kinda random but so good if you're having a bad hairday and especially that fringe is so good, my fringe would never stay in place because of a stupid swirl near my hairline so I'm considering maybe investing in one...We'll see if I have the money, it's great if you want to change your look sometimes too.
I guess I don't have much else to say except on Friday it's VAPPU which means PARTY! :D It's going to be awesome :)

Hey you guys!
It's Monday and I'm so tired buuut C is coming over and we'll cook some yummy food~
So I got home from Uppsala/Stockholm on Saturday later than planned because of the volcano in Island erupted so instead of flying home on Saturday afternoon which would take about 50 minutes I had to take the ferry from Stockholm to Turku which takes 11 hours and leaves at 7.10 am :/ I spent the day not doing anything and just looking at dunk people (yes, they were drunk from the minute I got there), listening to them telling eachother and me about their horrible lovelife and eating crappy food. I payed 13 euros for the worst food I've ever had, blaaaa. Fortunately my dad came to pick me up from Turku but just my luck, the new freeway was closed off for some testing so we had to take the old one which is in bad shape and overused. Well atleast I had a fun trip, I ate some really tasty Greek and Japanese food and the party on Thurday was supercrazy and fun :) I don't have any pictures because I forgot to bring my camera :/
On another note, I went running yesterday with Annika and then today I started cykling to school, slowly but surely I will get into shape ;D

~Rina~

I'm off to Uppsala in Sweden today to check out the parties and say hi to my cousin! We're gonna celebrate her birthday which was on Monday and then I'm going to find out if the university parties in Uppsala are as good as my cousin says they are ^^

A Mai Tai, one of my favourite drinks if done right! Mmm, wouldn't it be nice to be on the beach with a Mai Tai in your hand just chillin? These feelings of mine might have something to do with the beautiful spring weather outside and the book I'm reading, it's called The Paradise Room and sets place in Tahiti. It's a breezie chic lit book but oh so great ;)

Saturday

I got home on Saturday, and lucky me there was a party! :D
I didn't get any good pictures so I'll just leave you with a crappy one ;D
This week I'll upload some pictures from Austria but now I have to go to work!

Saturday~

Yesterday was Mandis' housewarming party. It was so much fun and even though her flat is kinda small it was nice, I would live there ;D I was inspired to do a new kind of make-up I usually don't do and this is the result:And in different lightingFor these pictures I'm wearing false eyelashes on my upper lashes :)
That's all for now, today I'm gonna go play tennis~

Avatar~

So yesterday I went to see Avatar in 3D with C. I liked it, even though I thought it was too long and it was a kind of Pocahontas meets The Lord of the Rings in space :D But yea, the actors were great and visually it was really amazing. Check out how cool we looked in our 3D-glasses
Yeaaah :D I also found some supercute bikinis in Seppälä on Wednesday, if I wore bikinis, I would definitely buy these ;)On Wednesday I wore sunglasses! I always feel so glamorous in sunglasses :)

And this pic is from last Saturday when it was so freaking cold I wore a furr hat risking to look like a granny, but I think it looked cute :D
I guess that's that for now, today I'm going to Mandi's housewarming party :)

Lazy Sunday~

So yesterday I was at an old friends' birthday party at a club in Helsinki that I would never go to usually. mostly because it's so expensive and the music isn't that great. Anyway yesterday was really fun even though I left early, I was just so tired. I don't know why but lately I've been so tired, I'm guessing it's because of the cold because I do get alot of sleep. Yesterday I was wearing the kind of make-up I don't wear often so I wanted to take som pictures and I think it looked pretty nice, also I finally got a really good wing in yhe outer corner of my eye with my eyeliner. I almost always mess that part up! So here are some pictures, hope you like them:
I also took a picture of my new piercing :)
Remember to click the pictures for a bigger version :)

Weekend

I cleaned my room today, woop woop! :D
On Friday I had a test, I don't think I'll pass, I couldn't concentrate and I didn't study for it either, I just wanted to check out the questions. Later I made noodles with C and it turned out soooo good, I have to remember that recipe! Later I went to meet some uni friends and we celebrated that the new students got their haalarit (an overall kinda thingy, it's worn at universityevents and on some other happenings concerning students of unis). It was fun, and well yeah, enough about that :D
Yesterday we hung out at Max's place and I drove the others in to the city and I went home to sleep :D I was so tired.

Outfit today:

Hair...

I've decided to dye my hair :) the lower layers will still be dark brown but the upper will be...RED hahaa :D Tomorrow I'm buying the colours and since they will be my christmas prsent from myself I'll have to wait until after the 24th to dye my hair. C will actually be the one to do it, she's my personal colourist :D I can't wait to finally do something to my hair, it's been almost 4 months since I last dyed it and for me that's like ages ;D
The weekend was fun once again :) On Friday we had J's going-away party and I was in bed at 5am ^^ And on Saturday we just watched some movies because everyone was so tired and didn't feel like going out. We watched Kung-fu panda and Bad Santa. I love Kung-fu panda but the humor in Bad Santa does not do it for me :)
Now it's time for bed, good night

Hey~
It's Sunday again and the weekend is already over :/ and I have a stest next week and loads of other things to do so I'm going to be really busy.
On Friday I went swimming and after that I met C and we went to take care of some school stuff, I took out three books that I have to read during the Holidays. We also waited at the bank for 45 minutes so C could get her tax refund and then we went shopping. It's been so long since I bought anything so I bought 2 hoodies and a onepiece, all from ginatricot. I was so happy to find those hoodies, I've been searching for long and slightly oversized hoodies for over a yaer so I had to buy them now :) On Friday evening C and I met up with Sanna to watch The Hangover, that movie was hilarious. I wore my new hoodie:
Sorry for the blurryness :/
On Saturday I was watching my godson and his little brother for 3 hours while their parents run some arrands. They were so cute but having two children under 3 years is alot of work. After this I was off to M's and her boyfriends housewarming party where I was until 4 am. We sand Singstar and partied. What I wore yesterday:
My new onepiece from ginatricot ^^
I'm gonna go study now, bye
