Day 02- The meaning behind your Exteen Blogspot name
Akikik is a made up name, I wanted to find a name that i could call myself so my real name wouldn't be posted absolutely everywhere on the internet where future employers or curious people could find out what i've been up to, ( not that i've been doing anything forbidden..) So how did i create the name Akikik?... the A is from the cosplayer AKUSESU. and the rest is from another cosplayer who i liked at the time and now i don't remember their full name (sorry!) I made the name around 4 years ago, so when i was 14! It feels like such a long time ago..
I wish I didn't procastinate as much as I always have, I always left my homework late and in the amount of time i left myself to get work done, i didn't do as well i know i could have. Currently i'm look or a goal in life to get me upbeat and excited, then hopefully i'll be movitivated to try harder and procastinate less.
[Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself]
Demon tooth and all! if i swished my hair upwards would i look like Roxas?
I am a british born chinese living in the countryside on a Gap Year. I am18 years old with a birthday on 8th Oct. I like to paint with acrylics and experiment with watercolour and have an unhealthy love for animals.
I have 2 goldfish named Ichigo and Milu who live in a half barrel pond in my garden. Ichigo is named after Ichigo from the anime Bleach, partly because he has toughed out all sorts of weather conditions and bodily damage from neighbouring cats and is still very much far from death! Milu is named after the chinese cosplayer Miluku because she's a really pretty fish! she has the longest swirly tail ever (>.<) translated, they are called strawberry and milk hehe
I cannot speak cantonese very well (if at all) My parents tried to teach my sister and I cantonese when we were children, but we never seemed to pick it up, instead whenever she spoke cantonese to us we would answer back in english. We even went to cantonese school for 1 year! Even though we learnt how to recognise some characters we still couldn't speak more than simple sentences. However! I can understand conversational cantonese very well, so if you ever bang into me and would like to test my cantonese understanding...go ahead haha, you'll recieve horribly butchered cantonese in return, but hey the thought that counts right? ;)
I love to take pictures. My father bought me my first camera when I was 9.It was one of those simplified point and shoot digital cameras with only lense and a shutter button ahaha. It was possibly the greatest present i have ever recieved, i took it everywhere with me and took pictures of EVERYTHING.. just like my daddy heheh. throughout the years i've refined my photography to focus on people, special life events and fashion art photography. one day i hope to work in the arts/fashion industry and live out my days surrounded by awesome beautiful things and wonderful inspirational people.
My favourite colour is blue ;) for the sky, for my eyes, even in the filling of pies..
When I was younger, my haired used to be long,thin and lanky and almost to my waist line. people used to stroke it and smell it ( smelling for the odd people) now that i'm all grown up my hair is thick, tough and blonde and thankfully no one smells it..that i'm aware of O_O
I get embarassed incredibly easily. You don't even have to say anything, give me a weird look and i'll probably go red ;L
I don't type in proper english. I can control the way i type, i could exclude the slang and the shorthand.. but sadly i don't think i will. You can berate me on any spelling mistakes you my find however.
I used to go to a all girls school. I made some of the bestest friends there. but it wasn't a good time in my life. I could partly blame it on angsty hormones and then blame the rest on disrespecting monkeys.
I love COSPLAY. Cosplay is my no.1 interest, I kind of view it as an art form, the amount of dedication going into the costumes made and the practice for different poses and facial gestures is just BOOM! I've never cosplayed before but i hope to in the near future when i can get my hands on some spare cash ;) but for now i'm pretty chilled in gwarping at the amazing costumes on world cosplay.net
I also love fashion. Yes, you can love fashion and cosplay at the same time, just a different art form!
I like sweet foods in cute pakaging. Even if the inside tastes horrible, you will always remember the cute packaging it came in.
I use a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc X12 mobile phone. It delays and switches itself off. but it has a mega good 8.1 mp camera (^>^)
I go to a special dentist. When i was younger i used to cry and bite the dentists' hand so they refered me to another dentist which deals with disabled and elderly patients.
Last but not least: I like to travel. Throughout my life I have been to France/Spain/Jersey/Malaysia/China/Japan/Hongkong/Macau and most recently Korea. In february 2013 i will be going to volunteer in Cambodia for 3 weeks and then travel around for 1 week. I can't wait!
So thats day1 finished! That took a lot longer than expected ahaha. I hope you enjoyed learning some more facts about me!

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.
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!
so heres a list of things i would like to try out in my gap year:
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 ^^
