29.11.11: Sweet Emely

Look at my beautiful cousin ♥! She's wonderful, right? She was born Wednesday which is why I didn't update that day.
She's 3560g and 52cm long. She's quite pudgy IMO, he he!

I think I mentioned this before, but I'm going home tomorrow which is very soon and I was not expecting this.
I didn't think I'd get to see the birth, but I did! I'm so happy I managed to be present. I thought she would give birth next week, but I guess I'm lucky ;-)

--Emely; Welcome to the world, dear.

Sausage Buns

Beautiful! Next time I'll make the pastry more fluffy and light.
These are called "pølsehorn". I don't know the English equivalent of the pastry, but I want to make the Chinese version of it which is "sausage buns". I'm the type of girl who likes a sweet and soft bun whereas I've experienced that many Danish bun recipes are very bland. I always add extra extra sugar! <3
These were tasty, but I want the pastry to be more bun-like.

I love how they turned out though. I think they look so pretty.

Mothers are amazing

I was meant to go out early today, but I decided to sleep in. My aunt's child woke up at 4AM this morning.. Maybe an hour after I finished baking and he wouldn't go back to sleep again. He was sleepy, but he wanted his mum and he was just very whiny. No matter what I did or what Sandy did, it didn't help! He just kept crying whenever we put him back to sleep. He kept calling for his mother even though he knows that sometimes he has to sleep with other people beside his mum. I'm not even sure why he woke up to begin with  because he usually sleeps in.

But yeah, after an hour, my other aunt woke up because she heard the crying and she did some talking to the kid and he decided that he should sleep. I guess, it's an advantage if you already have children. Mothers just know what to do. It was really amazing to watch her do it because everything I did hadn't worked. She didn't trick him or anything. Neither did she force him to sleep again; she just said that he should sleep again because his other cousin is sleeping too and if he doesn't sleep, my cousin will go home the next day. Whenever he started to cry, she'd say "stop now" with an assertive voice and he'd try to calm down. 

Though he was crying a lot at that point, what she said worked as a charm. First he slept in her arms, but she had to go back to her own children so he ended up sleeping in my sister's arms.

The mother of the child didn't wake up because she always wears ear plugs in the night and we didn't want to wake her up as she's pregnant now and we wanted her to have a good night's sleep.

Mother's are really amazing. What can't they do?

- bye bye, sally :)

Midnight

I just happen to want to eat food and make food in the middle of the night!
It's now 02:04AM and I finished making bun rolls (w/ recipe) a little while ago which we'll eat later today. I think it's supposed to be our breakfast because my aunt said that I should make them for tomorrow morning.

I hope they're good. They sure look tasty so it better taste delicious too o_o
It'd be bad for my reputation if they weren't..

- bye! will updater later today because we're going on a forest trip? or some sort of zoo..
nighty nighty!; sally ♥ 

Milky Pink Marshmallow

I've just finished my very first Photoshop Action. I call it "Milky Pink Marshmallow"

It's very versatile and it is especially made for camwhoring. I tried to make it as girly as possible with colours like baby pink & baby blue. I also made a option if you wanted that dreamy hazy look.

You just mess with the opacities of the layers and the action can be used in different ways.
Depending on what the mood you're going for ;-)

If you look at the example I used, you'll see that the left side is unedited and the right is obviously processed using my action. I think that you can further photoshop many various things after you've used the action. You can do lip-tint, enhance your eyes, blush on cheeks etc. etc....

Just wanted to do a quick update about this. I'm so proud of my photoshop action, he he. 

So yeah..

- later alligator. sally. <3

I'm in Esbjerg

© baby-desires

I'm currently in Esbjerg because my aunt's pregnant and she's supposed to give birth any time soon! ;-)
She was supposed to give birth this Friday, but nothing happened. Yesterday we thought that she might give birth that night because her contractions were getting more intense, but apparently they were not intense enough and also they weren't regular.

She is so energetic and she doesn't look like she'll pop soon, but I hope today we'll see the baby.
I can't wait to see the little baby girl.

FILM rec: Les chansons d'amour

It's a French film by the name Les chansons d'amour a.k.a. Love Songs. It's to date my favourite film because I just love everything about it; the cast, the OST, the story --just everything.

• A musical interpretation of three lovers living in Paris.

I discovered the film this year after I saw Bertulucci's The Dreamers. Louis Garrel is one of main characters in The Dreamers and the main character in Love Songs. His performance in The Dreamers was brilliant so I decided to check out his filmography. This was the second film I have seen with Garrel and I loved it. He's an actor who doesn't give a big performance which by no means is a negative thing. I think that's exactly what makes him special because he's doesn't need to wow me. He draws me in with his acting and not his looks. Also the way that he acts, is so realistic.
I love the theme of the film too; apparently Louis Garrel specializes in films that have to do with ménage à trois (threesomes) and those themes are also interesting to me. To top it off, I love the message of this film. The film is amazingly put together with great eye for details. Yup, you go watch it now! It really is quite good. If you like musicals then it's a plus too. If you watch it, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

My favourite quote:

Ismäel: "Love me less, but love me for a long time"

btw. FILM/SERIES recommendations every Sunday ;-) he he. I watch a lot of films and sometimes I happen to watch some pretty amazing ones.

No Wonder I'm Gaining Weight

I have to stop myself. Immediately. Otherwise I'll regret it.
From tomorrow onwards, I'll begin to exercise.

No more procrastination and no more snacking!


- see ya, sally ♥

I'm Quitting my Job

As the title states; I'm quitting!
I feel so irritated all the time as if I have PMS or something. I don't have to make my life so miserable. I don't have to work there. Even though I get money for it. I'm just so unsatisfied with my working environment, the people and everything. I also happen to work on the worst hours ever. It's just so annoying.

When I'm working I smile, I greet.. but behind my smile, my insides are like:

I'm shy, yeah, probably introverted.. I guess anti-social too. But maybe, just maybe I don't give a shit about strangers. I'm not interested in what they are saying. Why are they talking to me??????

Really, why does she only give me work on weekends?
It pisses me off that she only thinks of herself. I can't do shit when I have to work in weekends.

If something doesn't change soon, I think I will quit my job.
Right now I have so much anger towards the shop!
I'm not even sure if I'm thinking straight because of all that anger.

Whenever I hear her name and the shop, I just want to punch someone/someone.
I don't any part.

The money's not worth my misery.

Portrait of Myself

This portrait was drawn a day after my cousin's picture. I was told that my portrait didn't really look like me which is bummer because it is supposed to look alike otherwise my attempt is pretty failure. Even though I put a lot of effort and I tried my best, I agree with their opinion. There's something off with this portrait.

In the beginning I hesitated to draw the portrait, but I ran out of things to draw. If it wasn't because I was in such a good mood for drawing, I'd wouldn't pick myself as the subject. It's odd to draw oneself; I always have a tendency to draw what I want to see in myself.

Drawing self-portraits are odd. Or at least I think it is. It just doesn't feel natural for me.
I need to practice more, he he. In attempt to practice more, I'll try to post a portrait every Friday so I have to at least draw one each week  maybe 'portrait Friday'?

- see ya later as I'm currently working now: sally ♥..

Work + Pancakes

I just got home from work and I'm tired. I know I say this often, but it's so true.

One of the things that tire me out the most, is my aunt. Working with family is just irritating for me. I'm irritated when she's around when I'm working. I'm irritated when she corrects me. I just don't want her to be near me when I work. I feel like I want to punch someone in the face because she's in the shop with me. Sometimes it's fun; all giggles and shit.. But on some occasions it's like I have a big hawk watching over me. I want to work alone in PEACE. I want to work, see time pass and get out of the shop ASAP.

The thing that annoys me the most, is the fact that I can't hate the boss aka my aunt because she's family. It's impossible for me, but I get so angry/irritated at her. I'd rather be mad hating on my boss who I'm not to-- it will be so much easier because you will be able to vent to your family and friends. But here? No no, you can't do that when your work is family-related! Who am I going to tell it too? My mum? Ugh~ If I tell it to anyone about it there will be so much gossip and the satisfaction of venting is not worth the poisoning effect on my work-environment. 

Today I was working and there were no small bills left so I told her about it (she's the boss over such things). What if someone walks in and I have to give them money back which consists of only coins? She forgot about it and people still came in and I still didn't have any change besides coins. I did what I had to do and I counted how many coins I had to give back, but then she yelled at me and said that if I do that there will be no more coins left. Uhhhhh excuse me, if we had any bills left I'd be using those, but no there aren't. She started to yell and I was just looking at her like Chill, we still have customers and I also said that she should lower her voice and relax. I'm a pretty calm person myself and it seriously annoys the fuck out of me when people make big deals out of nothing! I don't like people yelling at me or any of that. Don't make the environment more stressful than it already is. Just take your damn time to solve the shit. The customers no jack about how stressed you are unless you show/say something. There no fucking need to  rush! She became quiet after that and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm pretty sure she was insulted and I hope that she became embarrassed. 

I wasn't even supposed to work so much today! At first she said I should work at 2o'clock instead of 3o'clock and then she said at 5o'clock- Fucking annoying because I woke up earlier and did much before she changed it again. I was definitely not even supposed to close the shop today because I have never done it before. 

Such a shitty day and tomorrow I have to work again. 

I usually have that day off. FML. JUST FML, but there is always something that cheers me up.. FOOD/CAKES AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF!! I came home to delicious AMERICAN PANCAKES which I made this morning! 

I ate them with syrup *yummy yum* and to be honest, I didn't think I'd like them as much as I did. 

This recipe is definitely a keeper! <3 

Thank God for food. I'd be miserable without it. So thank you!

--signing off, sally! ♥

Haul from HM, ASOS, NELLY & ELF

I have received everything I ordered last time. I've received the items for some time now, but I had time to take pictures and such today :-) It was fun; we did hair and make-up and tried the different dresses. 

Thanks SIS <3

In total I/we bought 11 dresses, whereas two of them are the same, but it's in different colours. Only one of the colours are shown in the pictures because the other one is getting washed :-) Another dress missing is a black long sleeved dress from HM because I forgot about it as I had just received it today.

click on the pictures to see the original size :-)

FANCY DRESS

left to right: Vero Moda Open Sleeve Tie Cuff Chiffon Shift Dress {ASOS}, Vero Moda Chiffon Fluted Short Sleeve Chiffon Dress {ASOS}, Blue dress from VILA

We got the first dress in two colours; green and black. The second one is in mahogany red and the last is a dark blue. I love the first two because they look so fancy and sexy. My sister and I have been wearing it when we go out and it's so pretty. Your legs look super long in them; you just need to tuck the dress up with a belt. The last is pretty too, but nobody has worn it yet.

LITTLE BLACK DRESS

left to right: {HM}, Paprika Floral Bow One Sleeve Dress {ASOS}, One Shoulder Dress {NELLY}

The first one is my sister's and it's a bit loose because the fabric is kind of heavy. I do however think that you're able to fix it up a bit and it's good to go. The second one is so fucking tight and it's a size 8! I can manage, but I did consider returning it for a size 10. Now it's too late, so my only option is to tone my body so I'll look nice and fit in it because as of now, you can see every little detail of my body LOL. The last one is pretty too- At first I wasn't too keen on it, but when you do your make-up and most importantly wear your heels; it looks great.

MISCELLANEOUS DRESS

left to right: Rosalie Lace Dress {NELLY}, One Shoulder Flower Dress, {NELLY}, Drape Dress Jersey {NELLY}

I love this lace dress; maybe it would be extra nice if it didn't have shoulder pads, but it's really pretty nonetheless; it also has an open back so now I need to look after those chicken breast bras. The second is pretty too; at first I thought it was too big and too much fabric for a short person as myself, but heels make a huge difference and a belt too. The last one is OK. I think it's too "slutty" for my taste and I'm not sure when I'll be wearing it. Also the fabric is kind of weird; it's like bathing suit-ish. It's definitely not satin/chiffon or feel anything like that so it feel a bit cheap.

Now moving on to ELF 

I liked them all, but I'm not going to do swatches :-) I can however say that the quality is nice despite how cheap ELF's products are. The things I dislike is the stippling brush which is a little too thin and also the DUO eyeshadow was a waste of money as I already have certain eye-shadows I use regularly. The nail polishes are all-right, but a good top coat is necessary otherwise it will chip very quickly (btw. no pics of nail polishes).

- seee yaaa, sally..

Portrait of My Cousin

I'm getting more used to drawing now. I like it. I definitely feel like I have more control over things now.

I still spend loads of time on one portrait though. But I noticed that it's still less than what I used to spend on a portrait and it's even with better results. BTW my cousin's face is a bit lighter on the right side because I had a source of light near and it just happen to lit that part of the portrait :-)

Tell me what you think of my portrait my cousin Tonny. I'm publishing it today because it's actually his 13th birthday!
Congratulations boy.

Christmas Tree In Town

CHRISTMAS TREE - 1. An evergreen or artificial tree decorated, as with lights and ornaments, during the Christmas season.

Whenever I see this particular tree, I'm reminded that Christmas is right on the corner. 

Every year a big Christmas tree is placed right in the middle of the City Hall Square. Every year I always wonder how it's possible to find a tree that's bigger and more beautiful than last year's tree. It's truly awe-worthy. I managed to snap a quick picture of it, but it's heavily blurred because I had to run after taking the picture otherwise I'd miss my bus-home. I didn't see it the other night so I figure that they must have just placed it. I see that they have yet to put lights on it which I'm excited to see. 

I'm also looking forward to see the star they are going to put on the top of the tree.

But the best part is definitely the bright lights. The town is suddenly ten thousands times better/prettier than how I usually think it is. 

SERIES rec: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Four young friends with big egos and slightly arrogant attitudes are the proprietors of an Irish bar in Philadelphia. 

It's been awhile since I've watched a series that made me burst out in laughter. Why don't they ever show series like these in Denmark? I want to watch it on the telly or at least have the opportunity to do so! >__<'' I think it's such a waste that it's not shown here! The series is amazing and the actors are such naturals! I've never heard of any of them besides Charlie Day and Danny DeVito, but they are soooooo niiiiiice.

I had absolutely no expectations when I watched the first episode, but I ended up loving it! Even though the episodes were low budget, the episode were really funny so I didn't care. I had previously watched Arrested Development and it wasn't really my thing so I tried SUNNY instead and I was hooked. I also watched it because of Charlie Day; I absolutely loved his performance in Horrible Bosses and he's even better in SUNNY.

btw. I adore the character Charlie Kelly! The rest of the gang is loved too, but Charlie Kelly is such a cutie!~

Foggy Autumn Weather

FOG - 1. Condensed water vapor in cloudlike masses lying close to the ground and limiting visibility.

Today's weather was foggy. Yesterday's weather was foggy too. I thought I'd be late to work today because traffic is always slower when you're dealing with weather like these, but the bus was surprisingly fast. Another thing I thought was that the weather would clear up by the end of the day, but it remained foggy till my return from work. The weather is so typical of the month November. I can feel that Winter's near. In my opinion, Autumn seem so short compared to Winter. I feel like it's Winter most of the time in Denmark. The trees has finally lost their leaves and now it's just waiting for snow to fall. 

God, I hate the Danish weather so much, but there's not much to do about it. It's definitely time to get layered up and hopefully I will not catch a cold.

- snuggling in the warmth of my home, sally..

Swagger Child

SWAGGER - 1. How one presents him or her self to the world. A person's style - the way they walk, talk and/or dress.

Niklas & Lukas in Tenerife 2011
There's a huge difference in their looks? Don't you think. One of them is half Danish and half Vietnamese and the other one is just Vietnamese. Guess who's what? It's pretty obvious.

btw. My aunt (Niklas' mother) is going to have her second baby this week. Or expectantly this week. It's going to be a babygirl and I'm so excited. I'm visiting her even if that means I'm taking a few days off work.

I SEE YOU ; MIRROR MIRROR

PHOTOGENIC - 1. Having features, colouring and a general facial appearance that look attractive in photographs.

I'm practising being photogenic. I envy people who are photogenic.

I used to think I looked the best from the side, but now I'm not so sure any more.

Other than that; whenever I look in the mirror I'm fascinated. It's strange that I haven't gotten used to my face yet. Or not entirely. It's been three months already. I think my lips look the most different. It's kind of puffy now and I'm not sure if it's swelling or what.

It's like my face is changing every month.

This Can't Be Good?

It's 2:15AM and I just made bread with home-made Garlic Butter and I am also going to eat those two pots of yoghurt.
Yes, I was that tired from yesterday. I slept early and ended up waking up up on a weird time.
Me need some sleep now. Good night.

Sister Love

Ow! My Feet HURT :-(

I was out last night to this Asian party and it was actually better than expected. I didn't get totally hammered, but just enough to keep me buzzing. This time was a lot funnier than the previous Asian party. I think it's because there were more people and we had an artist too (PHONG LE)-- Some people were very excited about him. Honestly I don't think he's worth the amount I paid in entrance because he raps and rapping in Vietnamese is so unusual?! I could barely understand what he was rapping, but what I did understand was hilarious!

Other than that, it was a nice night. I think it's crazy how different the atmosphere was compared to a regular clubbing place. IMO Asians are so fucking snooty and bitchy-- now I'm mostly talking about the females here, but really? What's the point of being the bitch of the club? I'm not going to like you and everyone will still think you're a bitch! There was this incident where I was heading to the dance floor and to get there, you have to go down some steps. A girl was standing there so I carefully walked by her and this bitch purposely gave me the shoulder-push! O-M-GEEE, I was not happy. She gave me this dirty look like if it was me who had pushed her. I think she thought that I was going to bump into her or push her or something like that. Crazy bitch. I just glared back at her and did gestures like "you're such a bitch" and "wth!". She went away after that and seriously hope that she got embarrassed because of how she acted! Sometimes I don't get why girls are like that because I would never just push another person! She was a bitch and I don't even know why. She wasn't even pretty or anything so I don't know where the hell she would get that arrogance from..
That was just a short 5 minutes of the night. The rest of the night was great. The guys were okay; many were very handsome I guess. Maybe a little too short :-) but who cares. The only bad thing about the night was and *is* the pain in my feet. When we went home, my feet hurt so much! I bought these stickers so my heels wouldn't slip, but that means I got rid of those gel-insoles that I bought as a buffer between my feet and the ground. MY GOD MY FEET HURT SO BAD; I have like four or five blisters now. I'm never wearing heels without my insoles! I haven't had a blister for 1 year ½ so this feels like hell :-(

so recapping, the highlights:

• many people
• pretty people and handsome guys
• artist, who pumped the audience
• creepy douche always wanted to dance
• ok songs
• basically nice time

BTW. today was actually my day-off because I asked her for a day-off which she agreed. But to my surprise my aunt 'begged' me to work today even though I had the day off. She did it in a sort of funny way so I figured she was going to the party too and I was right. I met her in club and also many of my aunt's friends. It was a lot of fun and you'd think that I'd be embarrassed to see so many adults, but all my aunts are cool so I don't mind seeing their friends either. If we're talking about my family in general, they are preeetty awesome.

Because I had work today, I was so tired! I woke up late and missed the bus so I had to drive to work. When I came to the shop, I did everything I was supposed to do, but I yawned like a zillion times and I couldn't focus properly. To top it of, there were so many people today. I did all sorts of shit that I don't usually do. This is my first time it's been so busy in the store! Of all days, why is today the busiest day!

Arrh~ now I'm just lying in my bed and watching IT'S ALWAYS SHINING IN PHILADELPHIA. 
God, I love Charlie Day!

- cya! sally..

Night Out With Some Girls

I'm wearing a mahogany red dress made of chiffon. It's loose and closed in the front and back, so I'm wearing it very short. I'm just tucking it in with a belt and making it shorty. Otherwise it will end up looking very wifey. I'm showing lots of legs because I'm tucking my dress up and also I'm wearing my 5 inch heels which hopefully made my legs look slim and long! :-) It's always a good thing to show something when you're covered up. Either it's legs or back or cleavage. Personally I think it's tacky and not so classy to show all those three features..

My sister is wearing a similar style, but hers is black and it is a split sleeve dress whereas the sleeves are longer and it's made of chiffon and the body is of satin. She also pulled her dress up and her legs look great in it.

Good time to get wasted and let this be a good night. ♥

- go go, sally!

How a day can turn upside down

Today I was a decent day, but somehow and out of the blue... it turned all dramatic?

I honestly believed that today was going to be a goooood day! I thought that today was one of those swell days where everything is just great! Everything just goes like you want it to.
For example today I was happy because I only had work for two hours and I knew that I looked pretty in my new work clothes which I bought in HM. My attitude alone made me feel great! To bad I didn't work for only two hours, but two and half- It didn't matter much to me because I managed to buy a great name-brand 1,5 inch curling iron for like 100DKK which is the equivalent of 20 dollars? That is literally nothing because in Denmark you pay 25% taxes and everything's overpriced so 20 dollars is a fucking bargain.

So I bought that curling iron and because of that, I was like 2 minutes late for work. I drove like mad fast, but luck was just not on my side today. Whatever decision I made was a sucky one. I kept running into damn slow cars, buses, roadworks! All kinds of bullshit and I just knew that I'd be late for work. Obviously I felt bad because I'm usually a responsible person when it comes to work (and also school), but my aunt didn't even remember that I had to work that day so I was relieved! So my mood turned from feeling bad and guilty to relieved and happy again. She didn't expect me to come at all thus she probably didn't really care if I was late that day or not. She left after a while because she realized later why I work on Thursdays and she left me in the store. Also I got Saturday off which I thought I didn't get! so I was happyyy.

Lets move on to work. As usual, it was slow as fuck, but the cook made me delicious food and I even got some tips from some nice dudes. All those little things made me happy and content.
I also met this lovely girl from Brazil; she was an exchange student and she was so sweet. I don't usually small talk to anyone and I actually hate it because I see no point in it (or it's just my introverted personality?), but *I* started the conversation with her! I'm surprised that I did that and I felt great after because I was actually curious about her. After that I just worked some more and just did nothing really.

Boss was late so I stayed half an hour more, but I left as soon as she returned and of course I got more money for staying overtime. Then I picked up sis and everything was great. We went home; had bánh canh and we also made Chinese steamed buns. It was actually a really nice day....... up till the moment where we started to argue. By 'we' I mean; my sister and I.

I asked her if she knew where the memory cards were and she answered me in what I see as a condescending tone. Of course I did not make a big deal out of it at first, but things just escalated from there.
It started with me asking her "do you know where the memory cards are?". Apparently she pointed at the drawer and said "in the drawer". I didn't see that because I was still looking for the cards so I had my back to her. As I said, I was looking for those darn cards and when she said in the drawer and I just looked at all  the drawers it could've been because I didn't see where she was pointing at. All the drawers are lined up btw. I asked her "which drawer?" while I was looking around (I was not irritated at all). She then said "the only drawer in the room?" (we have 5). I eventually figured out what she MEANT. After that I sat on our bed next to her and I told her that she should be aware of how she speaks.

WELL O-M-GEE. Hell broke loose.

The things she said after I said that was; She asked me why didn't I just use my head to figure out what drawer she meant and I told her that I can't always know what she means. To that she answers: "but you know me." -- which she follows up by saying: "It's obviously not that difficult to figure out what drawer I meant". Another thing she said was: Why don't I just remember the things she's told me once before. OK, first of all! If I could remember everything she's ever said, I'd not be in a situation where I needed to ask her. Second of all, it's impossible to ask another person to try to remember things that you may or may not have forgotten. I told her that she shouldn't be so immature (I was really annoyed at that point). I have told her before that I couldn't help but ask her if I really don't know/remember where things are.
To be honest, I only sleep in my room. Everything else is "her" stuff and even the layout of the room is her system. I don't mind, but obviously I don't know where shit is and where everything is supposed to be because I only sleep in the room. She then yelled "Why are you trying to pick a fight with me?!" and storms out.

Now I'm just laying in my bed and she is sleeping in the other room.
I don't want to apologise. The only thing I would retract is the statement about her being immature because I feel like I was too harsh on her and she took it very personally.

I told her to be aware of her tone of voice. It's a huge deal when it comes to speech. It's everything and it tells you what mood you're in and it also affects other people. Sometime I feel like she doesn't appreciate me enough, but I know she does. Like A GIZILION lots.

I'm totally ramble-ling now.
What a weird day.

Tomorrow, it's back to normal. Maybe I'll end up apologising. I don't know yet.
Hey, I'm the little sister. I hurt her feelings and for that I will apologise.

imbabychan is Suspended!

OH NO ZIIIII!!!! My account is suspended :'(

I don't know when it happened; I think maybe a couple of hours ago :'( I was just subbing a song and then I checked my account and it was gone!

Poor youtube account and videos~ all gone.. All the effort I put into that account and it's gone in a blink of an eye.. Just amaaaaaazing! 

As you can see on the picture, it was actually my second account. I actually had like 800+ subscribers which is more than my first account. I put a lot of time and effort in that account, but I promised myself that I wouldn't make another account if my "imbabychan"-account happened to get suspended like my "xsallyen"-account. So I'm not making a new account and I won't be making videos any more. I met some cool people though~

It's a little weird how it happened. You usually get like 3 strikes before they suspend your account, but I had none. Maybe they figured that I had so many videos/songs with copyright infringements that they just decided to close it all down?

Who knows. Life goes on! <3

FILM rec: Keith (2008)

I watched Keith the other night and it was just brilliant.

17-year-old Natalie thinks she's got it all figured out until she falls for a guy who has nothing to lose.

The film was just perfect even though it's a plot that has been done a thousand times. It's the way that the film is told that makes it special! The script is just amazing. Those quirky dialogues and everything. I'd say that the beauty is the pure simplicity. There's such a great balance so it doesn't feel cliché and despite all the stereotypes in the film; it's not an overkill, but on the other hand it was so realistic. It's a slow story, but it still manages to keep the audience interested and curious about the characters.
It's one of those films where I felt like I changed just a little bit.

Great chemistry between Harnois and McCartney and the acting was just on-point. They have definitely proved that they have more than just pretty faces. Talent, my dears! I knew that, but many would probably discard the film just because of the cast. In my personal opinion I think Jesse McCartney delivered a great performance and really made the character come alive.

I highly recommend this film! Sadly the film is only available for US and Canada. I never had a problem with DVD formats before, but the film was shown in limited theatres so I assume that's why they are only doing a limited release? If it was released in more theatres I think people will realize that this film is a gem.

Such a bitter sweet story with a good point.
My two favourite quotes are:

Keith: "Sky's the limit, right?"
&
Keith: "We're here in a yellow truck, a road in front of us, and nothing but opportunities."

Now, go watch it! :-)

Stardust

STARDUST - 1. A dreamlike, romantic, or uncritical sense of well-being.

In the midst of boredom, I decided to camwhore or a more fancier word; I did a little "photoshoot". I'm wearing my new lace dress from nelly and I thought that the colours of the dress suited the mood I was going. I wanted something that said old romance and it must be something dreamy, feminine, soft and delicate. You know, something along those lines. I wanted it to look similar to porcelain dolls and I'd like to think that it's sorta achieved. Big applauses to models because I've now experienced how hard is; I was so lucky that I got some somewhat decent looking pictures. I gave up half way because 1 I sucked and 2 I realized I was simply too tired to take any more pictures.  

I was actually planning to go out, but like I said... I'm too tired. My two devilish cousins came with me home  and it was exhausting. My body is telling me that I don't get enough sleep so it's a brilliant idea to stay in tonight. See you work. See you tomorrow. And hello sleep.
