It's been yet again so long since my last update. I have been meaning to write a new blog post but I got sooooo busy with work in the start of January that I had no time to do anything. Like seriously, I didn't even have time to sleep. I was running on 4 hours of sleep everyday for 2 weeks straight. My body feels so exhausted!!! Hopefully work will be a little less busy in the upcoming weeks so I can get more rest and get on with actually doing some of my new year resolutions. Like exercising daily and take at least one self-portrait for this month.
I also noticed that I have gained a few new followers on bloglovin' while I was away and haven't been able to update my blog. So I just want to say a warm hello to my new followers and thanks for following my blog! (o^__^o)v
Anyway, I wanted to share this outfit I put together that's extremely comfy and warm to wear on those cold days during the winter for a home/room wear kind of look. I was actually inspired by Otsuka Ai's outfit in a music show where she performed the song "Pocket". I modified the outfit a bit since I didn't have the exact same things she wore for the performance but I tried to be as close as I could get in mimicking it with what I have in my closet.
I actually only realized this after I took all my outfit snaps that I forgot to wrap my scarf around my neck once. No wonder I thought it looked a bit strange when I finally imported my photos to my computer to edit them. *total fail* LOL! And I tried to wrap my hair up in a bun and couldn't get it to work. I have very fine, thin and light weight hair. It takes about over 20 pieces of hair put together to make a strand of a hair for me so you can imagine how thin my hair is. I also have no volume to my hair at all and I have very little hair to begin with. When I tried to tie my hair up to make it into a bun, my bun ended up being the size of my thumb finger. It looked as if I have no hair at all! I tried to make it into a bun for about 30 minutes and couldn't get my hair into a big bun and in the end I just decided to leave it in a pony tail instead. But actually even Otsuka Ai doesn't have enough hair to create that voluminous and big bun she has on top of her head. It is actually a fake hair bun that she has on top of her head. I love how she's wearing this really long scarf with feathers attached to them that make it so pretty and winter-y. I didn't have white feathers to attach to my scarf so I wore these white with black polkadots feather earrings that I have. It was as close as I could get! Here are some screencaps from Otsuka Ai's performance outfit for you to compare.
I love her sparkly gold makeup for the performance too. Comment below to tell me what you think of this outfit look or what you would change or add to the outfit! =)

Outfit: Otsuka Ai Inspired White Winter Scarf Outfit
Wednesday, January 1, 2014
Happy 2014!
Wow it's been awhile since last my last update, hasn't it?
Really sorry about that but the holiday has got me becoming very lazy which all I did was catch up on sleep and watch a bunch of dramas and eat a lot of good food like a fattie, lol. I actually managed to get some blog work done too but I haven't got the chance to transfer pictures from my phone/camera to edit them and organize them into a blog post, I'll slowly get to it! ^^; Plus I have so much prep and study work to do for my new job too as I have forgotten about 70% of the stuff I learned during my 3 weeks of training and I will have to do some review work refresh my memory which is not as great as I am getting old. o(TヘTo)
Anyway since it's my first post for the new year of 2014, I shall start with sharing what some of my new year resolutions are. I think I did one last year too but I deleted the blog post soon after. But from what I remember one of the things I have listed on my new year resolution for 2013 was to be a happier person and to appreciate the small little things in life that makes me happy. I think I was able to accomplish both so here's hope that I can accomplish more for 2014! =)
New year resolutions for 2014:
- Exercise daily
- Get rid/fix boobs fat problem
- Take more self-portraits
- Take some outdoor outfit/photography pictures
- Make use of my Sony NEX camera more
- To continue to be happy and stay positive and appreciate all the small little things in life
I think I made take more self-portraits a goal for 2013 too but I never ended up doing it, lol! I just never had the time to do it because I was always busy with work or other things. Also because I don't wear makeup everyday (I only wear makeup occasionally and when I take outfit snaps) and sometimes when I'm done taking my outfit snaps (which can take up to 2-3 hours) it's time to remove all my makeup and do other things like cook dinner or clean the house. So if I want to be able to take some self-portraits and outfit snaps then it'd probably take me about 4-5 hours to do. It sucks that I'm not photogenic either so it'd usually take me about 50+ shots to get a nice or decent picture of myself. I'm also a perfectionist where I feel the need to take best quality picture with the perfect moment too and if it's not right then I'd keep doing it until I am satisfied with the results. And sadly I don't have 5 hours a day to devote to just taking pictures because I have other life obligation and duties to do. Perhaps it'd be much easier if I live on my own, which I hope I can probably move out to live on my own with a roommate by 2015 or 2016. I'm going to try to aim to take 1 self portrait shot a week or 2 a month. I don't know if I'll ever be able to make it happen as January will be quite a busy month at work for me and I don't even know what the next few months will be after but I'll see what 2014 has to offer me. =)
I also want to take some outdoor outfit/photography pictures too but it's hard to do it on my own as I'd need someone to be my photographer. I have a lot of ideas and concepts in mind that I want to shoot, but again I'm not sure if I can make it happen as it's not as easy to find someone to help me do the work.
What are you new year resolutions?
