Being my own hairdresser

Remember some time earlier this year when I cut my own hair and said I'd post how it looked?

Here is how it looks on different days.

on a weekend, when I slept too much and go out for brunch


In the midst of a shopping spree, my feet aching from my heels


Right before I go to bed

Photos taken with my new phone :3

The IS = Samsung S4, The was = Samsung s8300

Playing the guitar..



The images came out really good viewed on the comp. I took a video of myself playing the guitar, made a few mistakes here and there, and don't feel confident enough to post them. haha. XD

It recorded the sound well too.

...
Actually my old samsung phone, despite it being super sluggish, takes nice photos and videos too (used it for videos when I went to Japan back in 2010, since I didn't want to use up my camera's memory)-- by then I've been using it for three years and dies more often than not! -- Also saved me when my eneloop charger decided to ditch me second day in to Tokyo, have been using it until I was able to buy another charger.XD
...

The images were sharp and clear with the S4,



and I'm really happy with this phone~ :3

Illustration : Gloomy Berlin

The inspiration for this illustration comes from Lonely Planet : La Revista de los Viajeros : Berlin.

What drew me to this picture was the cello in the middle.

The original piece is way nicer than this, I made a few changes:



It looks a little sloppy; I thought I'd challenge myself and complete this in 40mins! =_=

Burger Beanie

Super soft beanie,







and it's a burger! XD

-

I was actually searching for a comfy pillow to sleep on but instead found this in the shop. :P

Repainting my room

My room used to be pink, now I'm painting it white!



I would have liked it in pink again or yellow, but I wanted oderless paint, and white was the only available one from the shop nearby. :O

My room looks brighter with white, but I couldn't move most of the furni so I just painted the visible parts.



left: yet to be painted, right: already painted

Will be taking down this poster of Kaname.XD Painting this section next.

Il Colosseo - Roma pt2

The perks of purchasing a Roma Pass!



We were able to cut through the lines and enter in a jiffy!

.

The stairs up to the viewing area. I think there was a lift somewhere but no time to spare.



Next to the shop were these,



The floorplan,



Immensely overwhelming. This place is chock-full of people.




View from the inside,



Finally reached the area with the balcony, a little description on the Colosseum.



Marvelous view from the balcony:



Street vendors:



Nice quiet arches and passages,



Some portion of the Colosseum is actually barricaded..


...

A little souvenir I got for myself..



Eversince my trip to the Grand Canyon some 9 years ago, I started a little rock collection! :D

I don't always find a nice rock to bring home, but I got one each from the Colosseum and the Palatine. X3 shh~ don't tell on me!

...

Some random photos from inside:



Me with my sis (She doesn't want me to post her photos.XD )



Setting up self-timer is sooo easy. XD I like to use it. But I think I should be more careful. :O When I did that in Madrid someone actually approached us to warn us about thieves.. BUT! where I live is actually worse.XD (Here, flashing a mere camera phone in public is asking for trouble! though in a well-off neighbourhood it's not so much the case.)

..

From my sister's camera! (they're mostly photos of myself.XP)



There were soooo many tourists. I just picked the ones without too much people.



Lovely view~~ I over-sharpened this one...=_= but I'm too lazy to change it now..


...

Here was the other gif I was talking about...



Thanks to boredom I made another one... :P



Looks ancient, eh?


...

Il Colosseo - Roma pt1

We got a little lost on our way to the Colosseum, (this is not always the case!! XD - I swear there were more times I reached our destination without taking any wrong turns. Lol. =_=" )

We were planning to visit the Palatine Hill first, but my mistake for not having checked where the entrance was!! big mistake! -- (Instead we reached a dead end, on the other side of the entrance to Palatine. So we had to circle the whole area before reaching this, thanks to a super kind lady who told us where to go.XD -- Good thing about this unexpected side-trip was getting to see Bocca della Verita and actually treading on the whole Circo Massimo stretch!)

Luckily we bought a Roma Pass so we were able to skip the endless lines!

And just to make this trip worth it, here's a little something!



I made some edited versions of this too~ (shall post the rest tomorrow)

Well, until then! :3
