THE HARVEST MOON

Sooo the harvest moon is out! ...I guess i would have gotten better shots if i didn't have to make a dramatic escape to the window.
FAIL NO1: I couldn't actually get the window open until most of the clouds had drifted away. No matter how hard you pull and shake the window, ya still have to turn the key to get it open pahaha
FAIL NO2: A glass of water is so dangerous on a table with important papers, i had to twist and dodge to get to the window.
FAIL NO3: When completing a mission which involves a smooth surface. who needs socks anyway? Take em off otherwise you'll be flailing all over the place.

Sooo here are the photos! :

GAP YEAR : SUMMER 2012

Hi guys! Its been so long since i've written a post (¬.¬) i'll blame lack of a strong internet connection in HK on that one ;) ok, maybe a little laziness crept in as well ^^
So as some readers will know, i've recently finished my Alevels (applause) thankyou thankyou. Well they weren't perfect, but its DONE!!
But now where do I go?? I'm sure others are feeling the same, but i've never felt so.. off the path. If i got my way, i guess i would be going on into University. But with no idea what i wanted to do, it was kinda a nono.
So now i've taken a gap year, i'm going to build up my photography portfolio, do some art :textiles, painting. hey who knows! But what i really want to find is a job!

  • Learn how to play violin
  • learn how to sew
  • pass my driving test
  • find a job
  • learn how to play a sport (Archery/Fencing i'm thinking)
  • BLOG MORE
  • Learn how to do some funky dancing
  • Cosplay at an event
  • Learn a language/s (Japanese/Cantonese/Korean/Mandarin/Spanish/French/German)
I mean I know french and spanish from secondary school but i think its time to refresh ^^ Hola! me llamo Akikik, y tu?
  • Build up my photography portfolio
  • build up my art portfolio
  • Exercise more!
  • Read more books
  • Finish my DofE (finally!)
  • Find a Passion.
Well i have a year to do it, hopefully i'll have your support in reaching my goals ^^

Shinanagans in WonderLand

Hey Guys! I'm really loving the new layout for blogging posts, so much more space to type! I still think the picture posting methods could use a little pick me up, like have the' square' function on the photos like on word haha, would make my life easier fo sure!

I've had a very eventful week! I've reached the end of another college year, and have been able to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee with the rest of my town! I also watched Snow White and the Huntsman + hung out with the lovelie Tara
And guess what, I'm feeling way better! I honestly think i'm on the road to recovery.. except the fact that I couldn't sleep last night & only got 4 hours sleep, but that was a one off..I hope hehe.


























SnowWhite & the Huntsman
Went to see this film with some of my makeshift family on wednesday, I didn't realise it was Chris Hemsworth during the film! I went to Samu afterwards and said, 'hey he reminds me of thor!' of course the appropriate answer was ' yeah, that is him' ;L 
The Review: My thoughts on the movie are a mixed bag, i thought it was ok, I loved the wonderlandish forest they created for her and the huntsman to hide in. The dwarf's lol so funny, congrats to the writer for the childish humor ;L I'm no actor, but some of the bits with the elderly dwarf i was cringing a bit and the true love bit caught me off guard. but altogether, it was an ok movie. To me its one of those movies where you'd think it was ok but you wouldn't watch it again haha

We had time before the movie so we decided to take some photos of our outfits of the day...

                       My cute butterfly headband from the kids section at the supermarket ;L

Tara's awesome creepers! Get them at Amazon while they're still cheap! I'm still deciding which ones to get!

TARA & AKIKIK
Its a blue season! Tara works the pale blue while I go for the metalic haha
My outfit for the day!

And that was my Wednesday haha, Check out Tara's Blog obsession du jour for her latest daily looks and fashion icons.

Thank you for reading! Akikik xxxx

Film List: May 2012

Films I've been wanting to see this year!


Dr.Seuss' The LORAX:  I love my animations haha, It was out a while ago but i never saw it in the cinemas ;/ my aim is to watch this somehow asap! What attracted me to this movie was the trailer which i stumbled upon on youtube one day...i mean, blow up bushes? jelly vegetables?! having to pay for your oxygen?!?! Crazy shizz it helps that Taylor Swift and Mr. High School Musical are the voices for the cute couple in it. I also loved the bit at the end of the trailer where the Lorax is like ' Thats a woman?! 0_0' HA

The Avengers: I've actually already gone to see their movie but I wanted to post about it anyway, but in as few a words as possible, it was AWESOME! It humor was so witty and funny, something i wouldn't expect in such a serious (or so I thought) action movie, and the action shots! Oh my word they were so coool.
 I loved the building of the friendships between the avengers throughout the movie, expecially between Bruce and Tony, pulled at my heart strings haha. I saw this movie in 3D but if i'm honest, nothing eally came out at me as i wanted. Sure things were in 3D (the buildings..Coulson's head) but when a flying evil monster would come at me, it would be ruined when parts of the body would be cut off from the screen. But altogether, bloody awesome movie. WELDONE!

The Dark Knight Rises: I am looking forward to seeing  this movie very much! I wouldn't say i was a die hard batman fan, i've only watched the Christian Bale movies (where i totally fell in love The Joker mwahahha) but im mega looking forward to seeing Tom Hardy be a bad guy haha. The trailer looks promising so hopefully this movie will be a BLAST!

PROMETHEUS: YES, Prequal to the Alien films this movie seems promising to sci-fi horror lovers! Its has a lot of advertisement in the UK so far, catching the attention of loads of people who don't even like alien films. The trailer looks good, i've watched it on tv too many times haha 'not a map, an invitation' <-- starts to get annoying after a while, I can't place her accent at all ;L Michael Fassbender, my crush will be starring as David the robot hehehehe

The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey  Im a Lord of the Rings closet fan hehe, been wanting the one ring for a while!:O ill be interested to see how Watson does as Bilbo Baggins, ah so excited!!

Tadaa, The films i'm eager to watch so far! As you can tell, i'm really into action films haha. Until next time! I'm waiting for photos of my weekend to post for your guys, lots and lots of icecream!
Ciao beautiful people! Akikik xxx

Circle Lens Review : Crystal.I Hazel by Dueba.

Hey all!
Heres a review on some circle lens I bought from lens village

Lensvillage have a simple layout which is easy to navigate. You cann pay via paypal!~ (whoop!)


Shipping: 5/5 It took 2 weeks for my package to arrive which is within the time limit they specified so coodles to them!
Communication: 5/5 I didn't really need to contact them since the transition went quite smoothly and I encountered no problems with perchasing my circle lens :)
Pricing: 5/5 By far the cheapest pair i had found on the internet at the time. It was around 6 pound not including shipping.
Packaging: 5/5 the lenses came in a protective card case with free lense containers! Which was then encased in a bubble wrapped package! View packaging here

Review

 

Enlargement: As you can see theres quite a huge difference in the size of my eye when i put my the circle lenses on.
I have gotten a few comments (mainly my sister) that i look bug eyed with them on ;L
My natural diameter of my iris is 11mm. Whereas the diameter of the Crystal.I is 14.5mm



 

Flash: The lens light up quite well with the flash but you get a sort of yellowy glow to your eye like a vampire haha



Daylight: In the daylight you can definately see the detail of the Crystal.I hazel lens! I think Daylight suits this lens better as you don't get the yellowy glow like you do with flash, it also shows up so much more nicely! Great photo taking lenses haha

Colour: 4/5 I like the pattern and the colour but its a shame it doesn't show up in all lighting categories. In the night, the colours kind of blends into each other. Up close, it does look a bit pixelated so if your going for that natural look i wouldn't recommend them. I would recommend the GEO honey wing for that. ;)


Comfort: 5/5 I have actually worn these for 12+ hours and still felt fine, until i took them out and there was a faint pink ring around my eye D; Of course the recommended wear for circle lenses is 8 hours but i can definately say that these lenses are very comfortable indeed! There have been a few times where it caused discomfort in my left eye but that was because i had the lens in the wrong way round haha, so folks if you ever feel discomfort make sure you don't have it on the wrong way round! ^^

Enlargement: 5/5 I think i can safely say that these circle lens enlarge my eye enough for me from the above photo haha.

More Photos

 Unfortunate Photo of Heather with her eyes closed. Still looks pretty!! I happen to think the nooby grin suits me ^^



Clubbing with my pretty friend Ashleigh, got my vampire tooth out, ready to attack haha.
