Hi everyone! I hope you're having an awesome school/ university holiday, or summer break.
Here is a couple of up-dates of what I've been up to on my blogs and in life.
Firstly, I JUST posted a huge update post on my Press ► blog about music. The post is about my two favorite Asian music groups Perfume from Japan and F(x) from Korea. I made two post prior about how both groups are realizing new content/ CDs, and just posted an update since both groups have had new activities happen. Perfume has more promotional activities and F(x) released their new album. I was very excited about both, so I made a post about it. ^^
However, I also took the time to discuss some issues about both groups that worried/ bothered me. I had my say on the update post. If you are interested in reading, here is the link http://presstriangletoplay.blogspot.co.nz/.
So apart from the music post, I stayed over 2 nights at my best friend's house. Her and I are very close, that her family is like a second family to me! ^^ It was good to spend some time with them, and her little sister and I got to nerd out about make-up, haha.
My friend also got a new puppy so I REALLY wanted to meet it and I finally got to.

| Castiel, he is a pure breed shih tzu! :3 |
He's name is Castiel (Cas for short) and he is a Shih Tzu! He is super cute but he is at the biting stage. =_=;; Say goodbye to your fingers.
 |
| Lizabelle, she is a shih tzu x something else lol. |
And this lovely face is Lizabelle (Liza for short), she is about 3 years old and is a lovely dog. She sometimes gets annoyed at the little ankle biter, but who wouldn't from time to time. :P
Along with playing with dogs at my friends house, we also played games and ate yummy food. =w= I like staying at my friends house, they make me feel really part of the family and somewhat spoiled hehe.
So I stayed at my friends on Tuesday till Thursday. On Thursday night I made a Reese's 'dessert bar', which I brought in a pack from the supermarket. It was super easy, with only having to heat things in the microwave and everything (apart from butter and water) was provided, then a cardboard tray to pull the filling in! In the fridge for 30 mins and TADA, tasty, sweet and rich Reese's 'dessert bar'. :P
I also started watching a couple of anime. One is a new one called Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (Monthly girl's manga Nozaki-kun).
I don't always like shoujo (girly) anime, but some time to time it can be safitfying, and this some seems like a nice mixture of sweet and funny, so I want to see what will happen in the end. :P
Another anime that I watched start to finish, in a day (because it had already finished) was Mangakan to Assisatant to (The Manga artist and Assistants). I watched it because it was a simliar theme to the one above, but it was harem(Lots of girls, one guy) style, which I believe Gekkan is revers harem (lots of guys, one girl). I did find Mangakan funny, but sometimes off putting. =3=;;
Oh well is was a nice way to kill time.
Another anime that is new is season two of the Free! series. I like the characters and the art style is nice. It can seem slightly dramatized for the subject matter (swimming...), but it fits well within the anime realm. Also the boys are cute teehee!
Then today (11th of July), I had a photo shoot with fellow cosplayers as part of our cosplay club's holiday activities. The photo-shoots are good because they give new cosplayers a chance to get some posing practice for conventions, also some nice photo's of themselves. Also it's a good chance for budding photographers to get a chance to photography something a little different.
It was fun, just a pity the weather wasn't so good, so we didn't get to take many pictures outside. But it was fun to hang out and laugh with friends and club members. :3
Lastly, tomorrow I'll be going down to Hamilton for a cosplay picnic! I'll be cosplaying as a character called Suiseiseki from an anime/manga called Rozen Maiden. You may also know her from 4Chan as the girl that always says 'desu' lol.

| Suiseiseki form Rozen Maiden desu. I'll do my make-up as best I can to look doll like and I have color contacts that really stand out! I got my costume from TaoBao (Asian ebay), because I wasn't sure if I could make it. It's pretty well made but just the type of costume it is limits arm movement. I will also take my camera and tripod that I am borrowing and hopefully be able to get some shots or make a short film of the cosplayers. While Hamilton is about a 2 hour drive away from where I am (at least), I'm getting a ride with another cosplay friend who will be cosplaying as Suiseiseki's twin sister Souseiseki. |

| Souseiseki's boyish charm. Also Hamilton has the most amazing botanical garden with themed gardens! Such as a Japanese Garden, a Chinese Garden, an Indian Garden and more! This makes Hamilton garden's ideal for cosplay photos, but since it is winter time, the weather may play up (considering it is raining right now). |
 |
| Rome/ Greek themed garden at Hamilton gardens. Regardless of the weather, I'm excited for the trip. It's been awhile since I was last at the gardens. After this post I'll try to make some chocolate sugar cookies for tomorrow. It is a picnic after all, can't show up empty handed hehe.
So that's my activities so far, I plan to start doing product reviews on メーク-UP! since i won't be as busy (at least I hope not), I also plan to START the Stanley Kubrick month I promised to do, after I do some reading up on him and A Clockwork Orange. I guess I'm slightly nervous because it is such a popular movie, and it's many people's favorite, or top 10, that it's kinda hard to talk about. But it is interesting, so I would like to see what others have said about it and add my 10cents. :3
Anyway as also ways thanks for reading, feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.
What do you prefer? Short or longer posts? Also is there anything you would like added to the blogs? Any features? One thing I need to work on is a subscription button that DOESN'T just used yahoo, I also want to link my other social media account, so it is something I've got in mind and am working on a suitable solution~
Till then, see ya next time!
バイバイ!
