Quick pointless update

For whoever's curious about what I've been up to the past few weeks, AKA no one. *foreveralone*

Lately I've been into watching Pewdiepie (his videos not his face durr) on YouTube. He actually makes me laugh, and that's quite surprising because I'm usually the type who laughs inwardly. In school if something funny happens, the most I'd do is do an odd twitchy smile. But when I watch Pewdie's videos, sometimes he's so funny that I can't hold in my laughter and actually have to laugh out loud because HE'S JUST THAT DAMN FUNNY. <3

Here are pictures of two bows I made back in July. I realised that I haven't uploaded them onto this blog yet I think (unless my memory is having severe problems).

I didn't make the flower in the middle of each bow, but I positioned and attached all the ribbon-y stuff. I think they'll be really nice as hair accessories, maybe attached to a bobby pin or a hair band? I haven't decided what to do with them yet.

I've been on half-term holiday for a week, but it's already Saturday now so it's basically over. I still haven't finished all my half-term homework. I think I'm forever-unorganised. :c I'm really not looking forward to school. School would be okay for me if they removed the whole social aspect of it. *sigh*

Oh and by the way, I've decided to post random updates about my personal life on my Tumblr. I also reblog Asian fashion regularly on there. I'll still be updating this blog, but only if the entry's going to be of a decent length. So basically if I need to rant over something trivial, I will probably post it on Tumblr instead of here unless it's an important/relevant issue.

That's all for now, bye bye~

A smile makes my day.

It's been a while since I've talked about school, haha.

Today at school I was feeling very moody for some reason. I kept being oversensitive and kept thinking about negative things. The last few days, I've been feeling as if my 'best friend' is trying to steal a new friend I've made in class. Maybe I'm being selfish and possessive, I don't know. She ignores me completely when I try to join in their conversation - she doesn't even spare me a glance to acknowledge my presence. The new friend broke off in the middle of the convo to say hello to me, but my 'best friend' carried on talking as if I wasn't there.

I keep feeling that she's talking about stuff I don't understand on purpose, and she turns her back on me while facing my new friend so I couldn't say anything. This isn't the first time she has 'stolen' my friends. I used to be close with two other friends, but for some reason they started ignoring me and stopped listening to me after my 'best friend' befriended them. She also excludes me on purpose whenever I'm sitting with a group, and makes me move over so that I'm sitting alone in the corner. It's really strange. I don't know what she's doing that makes people like her so much. Did I do something wrong that made people dislike me?

Anyway, that's the basic story. Today we had the Tuesday programme so we (me, my new friend and 'best friend') walked to the boys' school (if you remember from one of my previous posts). Once we were 5 mins away from the school, we stopped at a bus stop where another group of girls from our school were sitting around since we still had some time left.

A boy from the boys' school who is in my class happened to be walking past and he smiled at me so I smiled back. Then he actually stopped to greet me properly and he asked me how I was. He was just talking to me casually and he even offered me some of the crisps he was eating (though I said no, lol). :D I was really surprised that he talked to me because I thought he'd just walk past. Plus he spoke only to me and wasn't trying to score with the group of girls I was with or anything, haha. He didn't even look at them once. I don't know how to explain the feeling but it made me feel special, as if I'm exclusive. It made me feel so much better since I was feeling so bitter and lonely this morning. He probably didn't think of it as anything, but really, I appreciated it so much. Thank you for cheering me up. <3

[Review] Clair Beauty Wig (dark brown)

Yay, finally a useful post at long last!

A few months ago I received the Clair Beauty wig my mom bought for me:

I got mine from Yahoo Taiwan's marketplace thing - not quite sure how to translate it to English. :x It came with a wig cap. I've seen the same wig is available on YesStyle.com as well as more wigs from Clair Beauty.

Here's a couple of pictures of the wig (I avoided filtering the photos so that they look as close to as in real life as possible - sorry if it looks amateur-ish):

Indoors with dim lights + flash.

The wig is a bit too shiny-looking but I guess that happens with pretty much every synthetic wig.

Natural light + no flash.

Indoor lighting (yellow) + no flash.
Looks so natural here! :D I clipped up the fringe here btw.

This photo is to show you the entire length of the wig. The style of the wig is quite similar to the original product photo, but mine looks a bit flatter. I think you can get the wig to look more voluminious by fluffing it out a bit more (I just brushed it through straightaway - without teasing, blowdrying or anything).

This is a different Clair Beauty wig I got. I forgot to take a birds-eye shot of my dark brown wig but the parting looks just like this one. ^^;

Colour:

The wig doesn't look as brown as it is in the original photo of the product, unless you compare it with the photo I took in yellow indoor lighting. In natural lighting, it looks more like a dark brown rather than coffee brown.

Quality:

The quality of the wig is really good and looks very natural! I'm quite new to wigs so I can't really compare it with other brands, but I have hair extensions from another brand and the quality of my Clair Beauty wig is much better. It's super soft, especially when you run your fingers through it! :D It also has an adjustable 'belt' inside the wig so that you can adjust the circumference depending on the size of your head.

One disadvantage is that sometimes random strands of the hair fall out quite easily so you have to be careful when brushing it. I've only worn my wig a few times so I don't know if it's because it's quite new so the looser strands are falling out? :x

All in all, I really like this wig and I like wear it whenever I go to parties or events or whenever I feel like doing a quick makeover transformation just to feel pretty. I really recommend this brand. :D

I hope this review was helpful. This is the first review I've ever done, so I'm sorry if it sucked. ;-; If I've missed out any important info or if you have any questions about this wig, feel feel to ask in the comments section!

Talking to a guy.

Every Tuesday in my school, we have this programme where half the girls in the year go to an all-boys school and then half the boys in that school comes over to my school. My form was chosen to go to the boys' school, which sucks because I live really close to my school so now I have to take the bus home every Tuesday. It doesn't seem as bad now though since one of my friends is also taking the same bus. :D

Today I spoke to another guy my age who I'm not related to for the first time in yeeaaars. It was alright, I guess. It was pretty much the same as talking to a girl if I compare the content of the conversation. He randomly told me that he got hit by a horse over the summer and I was like "uh okay". We worked in a pair to answer some questions on a politic party and we finished by the end of the lesson while other pairs had to take the questions home to finish it off as homework. He was quite polite and even said "thank you" to me at the end of the lesson for some reason. xD

I saw two boys who was in the same class as me back in primary school, but they didn't seem to recognise me? I even had eye-contact with one of them for like 5 seconds and he just had a "wtf" expression. :x I didn't ask them if they remember me or said hi because they were both sitting with their friends and I didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable. ...Or maybe they didn't recognise me because my Facebook profile picture looks really different compared to how I look in real life, LOL.

kthxbai.

Unused to school.

It's been a couple of days since school started and I think I'm already starting to fall behind on the work. :s I've been so tired on school days lately. I sleep as soon as I get home and then I don't wake up until the next morning just to go to school again. I've been back from school for about an hour and I'm already feeling sleepy. I really need to do my art homework though.

I was late for my classic civilisation class today because I got lost. -_-; The annoying thing is that the teacher gave me a late mark, but there was another girl who was came later than me but the teacher just said "It's your first late so it's okay". Um, it's the first late for me too...? We even had the same excuse since both of us got lost. :\ I had a really bad impression of that teacher after that. Plus she said that Helen of Troy (since we're studying ancient Greek mythology) was a whore if she had willingly went to prince Paris. I'm not sure if she's trying to be funny or something, but it didn't seem like a joke and no one even laughed. I can see where she is coming from if she said that Helen was a cheater, but I don't think going to another man should be considered as "whore"-ish. Obviously the teacher is not a feminist.

I don't really like my physics class because there's nobody that I know. The teacher also talks a bit too much instead of getting straight to the point. :x

I haven't been making any new friends or meeting new people at all. I think I'm starting to get a little pessimistic. I'm also getting the urge to get a boyish haircut again because I sort of subconsciously feel that I'd be treated better if I looked like a guy. I always go through these wanting-to-look-like-a-guy phrases whenever something bad happens.

Sometimes I feel like I'm expecting too much. I guess I'm going to start on my art homework now.

Edit: Yaaay, I just changed my blog layout! The colour scheme's the same, but it looks so much better since the post background used to be just a massive block of text. Now you can see more of the pink heart background. :D

Here's a photo because I haven't posted any in a while:

In the original photo, I actually didn't have any makeup on, but I photoshopped my zits away, drew on eyeshadow, edited on false lashes, etc. I'm getting better and better at Photoshop now, lol. I wish there was a class for this in school. Then every lesson, all that the students would do is take badly taken photos and photoshop them to look better. If a class like this existed, it would be my most favourite class ever. ;-;
