What's up everyone! I hope you have great week behind you. I had pretty good one. I started to exercise more and I already feel more energized. This got a good start, so I will make sure to keep exercising now on.
Because I also love everything sweet... I couldn't resist. Cutiepiemarzia released this DIY Helathy Ice-cream video and I had to try it out. I love ice cream! So I tried it with pineapple and strawberries. Both tasted amazing. I will surely make more of this in the future and I want to make my friends to try it as well.
Also I was really lucky. Mom found for me from sales new Moomin sheets, that look just adorable. I'm happy to add them to my collection. I love Moomin sheets since they are so detailed.
Also this DVD came along me home at Saturday. I saw it in stores first time probably last week, and I just couldn't wait any longer. I loved in the theaters so I can't wait for me and my friend to hold a movie night.
So that's about it. I hope next week will be fun, even thought my test week is starting. Which means I need to study lots. Well I'll be doing my best!
Dyed my hair again on Friday. It ended up being kind light brownish with red glow.
Is it too early to go spring shopping? It sure feels like it here. Today at morning it was -10 degrees. So it's at least too early to use those spring clothes. That didn't stop me on Saturday. I went out shopping with mom, when I was waiting for train to arrive.
First thing bought was new spring jacket. It has a furry color that can be taken off. Cost €20. Not too bad I think.
I have never had fake letter jacket (well I have never had real one either), so it sure is something new to my wardrobe. It's still way too cold to use it. I made a mistake today morning by wearing it. I didn't know how cold it was. Since i was in such a hurry I couldn't return to change jacket, so I somehow managed with it today. But it's definitely not a minus degrees jacket.
Second thing I found was this dress. It's little bit shorter than maxi dress, but still long. Actually this was pointed out to by shop assistant. She said to me that there was dress that would fit my style, and showed the dress to me. I tried it on and thought it looked good. Cost €16, so it wasn't too big prize of the dress.
I really can not wait to wear this dress. If it wasn't so cold I would have worn it already today.
This shirt is probably my favorite of the findings of the Saturday. It's lovely and girly and... pastel color! I don't really own anything with this kind of peach pink, but it looked so cute that I had to try it on and then get it. I already worn it on Saturday when I went out at evening with my friend. It was perfect for dancing, since it didn't get unbearably hot.
Also found new shorts and cropped shirt (I think it's called that). Not sure am I confident enough to use that shirt. But at least it will be good at summer when it's too hot inside, So these two were bought from sales so they didn't cost much.
That sums up my spring shopping for now. I was real early this year with this.
I hope everyone has had awesome weekend and start of a new week!
Yesterday I went to movies (wow I do that a lot...). This time I got company of our school's Indonesian exchange student. She is really awesome and funny person, and I'm glad she came with me. We always talk at school, but last week I realized we had never hang out on free time. So I thought that I should ask her to movies since, she won't be here forever. So I did and we had so much fun.
We went to see American hustle, which turned out to be quite hilarious movie. I really wanted to see it cause Jennifer Lawrence was in it, and I had heard good things about the movie.
I have to admit that couple times I noticed that I was confused by the plot. It jumped back and forward in time couple times, but I was always quite quickly back on the track of what was happening.
My favorite character was Rosalyn, played by Jennifer. Rosalyn did stupid things, and was little bit childless, but above all those things she was super funny. Almost everything she said or did in the movie made me laugh. I have to give high points for Jennifer of her acting, it was perfect to the Rosalyn's part.
I'm not sure what else to say about the movie. It might be little confusing sometimes, but in the end it's really great movie. If there still is someone who hasn't watched American hustle, I say it wouldn't be waste of time to watch it. I really enjoy it~!
I love flea markets. Specially one certain. Every time I go there I found something wonderful, in good condition and with cheap prize. Yesterday was just one of those days, when I hit that certain flea market with my friend. It was worth it, I found great things.
Firstly I found new member to my pastel color clothes collection. This cutie was only 14€ and in such a good shape. I doubt it's hardly used at all. It has such a cute colors that I couldn't resist it. When I saw it on one of the tables I just basically ran towards it and decided on that second that I will buy it. I'm really happy about my decision. Today it was proven that the cardigan was really comfy and it kept me warm in the cold school classes. I'm so happy that I bought it.
The other two things that I found were these magazines. Seventeen from year 2010 and Vivi from year 2012. Yeah they are kind of old. But I couldn't resists. Always when I have had chance to buy Japanese fashion magazines they have been super expensive, but this time I paid 5€ for each.
I couldn't help but laugh when I came to this spread. I can remember this time so clearly. I remember the flower print boom at 2010. I remember the cute long dresses and light denim jackets and shorts and skirts. I have something like this in my closet too. Thought I don't wear them that much anymore. But it was just funny that I remember this so clearly.
Then when I went on the magazine I came by with this page. I gasped the air, seriously I did. Suddenly Shinoda Mariko was there. I really love her. She is my forever favorite in AKB48 (even though she has graduated). I was so happy. I just chose the magazine sat random, so I guess I had great luck this time.
I can't help, but think how I could carefully cut the picture out of the magazine and put the picture to my wall.
I have to see what I will do...
I was super happy with my findings this time, I hope that next time I will find great things too.
I don't usually talk about new music releases, but this time I just can't help not to talk.
On 26th of February 2NE1 released their new album, Crush . It's a whole new album with 10 new songs! ( I count Scream as new one too as it is Korean version this time).
I know Blackjacks have been crazy about the album. No wonder. Me as a Blackjack as myself, I'm so proud of these four girls. There is not a single song on this album that I didn't like.
Reason why I waited so long to talk about this, was that I wanted to see two MV of two of the songs in this album. I didn't even listen those two songs before the MV's were out.
So first of those songs is Happy, and just wow. Everyone looks so great in the MV. I really like the concept. It was cool that the MV was filmed in LA. It was just perfect location for this music video. Although the song is about girl missing a boy, but telling him he should be happy, although she isn't, it still sounds so happy.
The song is so catchy and I catch myself often singing some line of the song.
I was really surprised to hear that the music video was filmed actually in 2012 November. 2 years ago! It made me wonder what made YG to hold it back so long. Maybe it was because they wanted to include the song on the album and the album wasn't ready. Or maybe they wanted to wait. Until YG actually says something about it we can only wonder.
The other MV was COME BACK HOME. The music video is truly amazing. It has a great story too. It tells about new future were people prefer virtual life over real one. Kind of like in Matrix. Only in this people have just got addicted to it. CL, Dara, Minzy and Bom are fighting for the real life. In the MV there is also shown how Dara lost her love to the virtual world. The guy choose to stay plugged into the machine.
Making the video cost 500,000,000 won , which is $467,000. The MV is so high quality and I just love the scenes.
I think COME BACK HOME is my favorite song from Crush album. The song really is great, and it was nice to see something different from 2NE1. Usually they have dance based music videos, which I like too, but change from time to time is nice.
The story is so topical, since people are spending more and more time in the internet and on their phones. It's like even though you are with your friends people still keep touching their phones, surfing on the internet or messaging to other friends.
Crush is something that is definitely in my want list now. I'm not sure do I need to wait for my birthday to get this, but I'm making sure I'm getting the album. I can't miss it. I'm so happy that the girls got a new album after such a long time.
If you like 2NE1 or just want to try something new make sure to c heck out this album!
It's winter vacation over and back to school tomorrow for me. I haven't got any rest at all, but in change I have had lots of fun. I have had chance to spent some lovely time with my friends. Even with some that I don't see so often. Yeah I think it has been great vacation.
Early this week I got text message from my friend do I want to go to theater with her, of course I sent her message saying "Yes!" right away. I had great luck and we went to see musical. It was second musical that I have seen a live and it was amazing.
I was able to see The Addams family - musical. Apparently it's just Finnish version of one that was on Broadway three years ago.
In the musical the kids were already grown up, and Wednesday wanted to get married with a normal boy she had met. I think the story was pretty good and I really enjoyed the play. I have soft spot for musicals, there's just something that makes me love them.
The actors were well chosen. Everyone fit to their roles well. Especially, Eriikka Väliahde as a Morticia was just perfect to my mind. I actually think she was my favorite in the whole play. The way she walked trough the whole play was just spot on.
The songs kept playing in my head over and over again for several days. I actually didn't mind cause I thought they were really good. I wish there would be some kind of CD of them.
I found it interesting that Sami Eerola, who played Lurch, was actually normal worker man. The director had found him from the "street". Sami did great job, even if he didn't really have lines. But his appearance was perfect and he was so tall.
I think the trailer gives better picture ,than my writings, about the play.
Oh wondering about the tittle? I had seat at the first row. All the effect came to my face and somehow made the play seem even cooler. Also Morticia and Gomez had awesome tango scene in the play.
I found it really fun to see the musical since I remember that I have watched the Addams family - series and the movie when I was younger. I just remembered how much I liked the show.
I'm definitely happy that I got a chance to see the musical and it was totally worth of watching.
I couldn't help but dream to be at the stage for myself while I was watching. I usually get that kind of feeling when I'm watching plays. I just remember how cool feeling it is to be at the stage.
Well I really hope that in the future I get to do lot of what I love, and that is acting.
I hope everyone has had fun week!
Until next time, everyone stay safe and enjoy life!
