King of the Fall

Crossplay as Abel Tesfaye The Weeknd
I'm in my city camoed out, leather booted, kissin b(&*^%^^& in the club.

So, I decided to Abel-ify myself last night. I was having wayyy to much fun with this. lol.
It was on my mind for a while, so I decided to try it out. I used black eyeshadow, a bit of mascara, gel liner, and my dark brown eye brow pencil to create my brows, beard and moustache, and to also help with that sleepy, tired, and kinda stoned look that he always has going on... Well, save for some pictures where he is smiling. LOL

The Weeknd
d'awww!
The Weeknd
So moody!

Though I totally couldn't get my hair like his... nor a wig that I pretty much destroyed... I think I came pretty close for my first try!

And you have to do it all just to know where it gets you.

You can also check out my vine to see me lip sync to his song lol.

Until next time!!

Be Cool Cat as You Listen to Music

Cool Cat ear Headphones

In a world where the majority of the population has a music player of some sort attached to them, it is no question that having a trusty pair of headphones that also look good is a staple.
The thing is, that in this world where you need a trusty pair of headphones to listen to your favorite tunes, there are so many different varieties, looks and colours that are available to choose from!
Loving technology and being a part of a tech and gaming group, I think it was a no brainer that my attention was going to be captured by these nifty pair of headphones I saw on Tumblr from Axent.
Being a kawaii item lover, these won even more points in my heart!

The design of the models from Axent is sleek, futuristic and to top it all off very trendy even for the more discerning of eccentric otaku, nerd and techie tastes.
Besides being stylish and just super cool, you can also use these headphones as speakers too to share your music with your friends and the world! Or, if you would rather listen to your music by yourself, that is always an option too.
You can also have the ears light up. Another thing about these headphones is that you can either have the cord attached or not to the ears while listening to your music, giving you a little bit more freedom compared to some other models of headphones on the market.
You can check out their website here: http://www.axentwear.com/.
What do you all think about these headphones? If you were to get one, what would be your go to colour?

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy belated Valentines or Single Awareness day! After getting home from work and meeting a potential roommate, Sandra and I decided to hit up Sakura lounge for a Vday date of sorts.

My Galentine's date *w*)
 
idek lol

There was lots of singing and the place looked super cute with all the Valentines Day decorations! The night had started off slow, but gained some momentum as more people filed in to bring in some Valentine's cheer with friends and/or lovers.
Its always fun to sing and even more so when you sing with other karaoke lovers! Even more fun to photobomb people's pictures!! > : D

 >o<;

We sang a lot of fun songs... I had to sing some Nicki Minaj songs. heh heh heh. We stayed til like... 4am I think, I had a drunk old Chinese guy sit in my lap and gave me the juiciest kiss on my cheek (He was a total lady killer that night fosho)... then Sandra and I followed up with some nice early morning niblets. 

I got pretty sad that my VDay heart balloon floated away though! lol.

The Weekend


Lishas outfit


On Saturday, I had some Thai food. I had some snails with a delicious, creamy, spicy Thai sauce, a Fire Dragon roll, and some nigiri at a cute little restaurant. And of courrrrssseeee, an avocado smoothie!! They couldn't make it with any bananas, but it was so good!


smoothie from Butterfly


Butterfly Thai Restaurant


I tried snails (aka escargot)!! They were good, spicy, and squishy.
 The atmosphere was amazing. I never been at a restaurant that played trance music!! Pleasant surprise! ^o^ Plus.... the nigiri was too big to fit all in my mouth at once!! >A<;


Got in a lil bit of foot work on this dance machine! Whew.... 
And also played a bit of pool. I know you are supposed to use angles and all that... but I wanted to try just hitting the balls head on this time! I got a few in, and lost the game with 3 balls on the table. Next time, I will do better. Just need more practice....
~~~~~~
Saturday

So, I decided to watch a little bit of t.v. yesterday. I don't watch it very often because
 1.I just mostly stick to whatever is on the Youtube.
 2. I'm working or making something.

Listened to a bit of the Bulls game, then decided to break away from note writing and watched some of the Grammy's. I liked Sia's performance with the dancers. Very touching. Much emotion. <3

Kanye almost pulled a Kanye lol. The guy from Beck looked a lil confused lol.

Kanye and Beck


I also watched a buncha different stuff too. Even an episode of the Walking Dead. I'm not a big zombie fan like some people I know... and the episode was pretty sad! Like, dayum! Too intense for me!
>_____o
Not sure how others watch that series a lot though....
Also... Steve Yeun looks kinda like a teacher I had before... lol. Just with longer hair and less tan I think.

Realness

It was nice to just chill out and watch a little bit of t.v. for once. ^o^ Time to get back on the grind!
>__o


Peace out!

SuperBowl!

So I watched the superbowl for the first time in YEARS! I walked in at the halftime show, and I liked it! I did enjoy people poking fun at Katy Perry on twitter though LOL. Talking about Wii remote controller wrist bands, and comparing her to the " The More You Know" from years past lol.



Hee hee hee

I also got super excited seeing Missy Elliot perform too! OMG! YESSSSS!! Her weave was so on point! ogjaerjkgeriogjeriogj;o
WELCOME BACK MISSY!!!

I also saw a super sweet tackle too at the last half of the game. Like, the guy swung in mid air on this guy he latched on to! Super cool. hehehehe

Well, Peace out Chocopies!

Uchi Con 2015

I decided to spontaneously make my way to my old stomping grounds to visit Uchi Con at the University of Chicago in Hyde Park. It was a relatively small convention, but there was a great turn out for the year!

1-29-2015

I started a new job last December and its going pretty decently. The only thing is... is that my new hours totally screws with my time for hanging with people and coordinating get togethers!
While people are eating breakfast and commuting... I am usually asleep. Just my luck, right?
One of the good things is that I don't have to deal with a ton of people on my way to and from work usually, so my commute is generally peaceful. I know I will miss it when I work during normal business hours! Rush hour....

YUM.

Besides that, I had another Artsy Maid Cafe Meeting!

My Look:

Kawaii cool Outfit detail: D.i.a. belt and shorts

My jacket... The freakin zipper is BROKEN! ugh.... wtf.... 
Time for a new one I guess

outfit detail D.i.a.

I wore an old pair of leatherette knee high boots I had in my closet. The weather wasn't too bad... but then again, I didn't have to wait on public transportation this time around!
Artsy Maid Cafe Committee

Me and the Girlz... And Simon... LOL
I felt pretty excited with this meeting! Plus it was a lot of fun too. Can't wait for the Cafe to roll around though!

I also have been editing and stuff like crazy. @___@
Time to clone myself like forealz cuz this sitting behind a computer screen for hours tweaking things is a pain in the booty cheeks.

Peace out Chocopies

Happy New Year 2015

This New Year Eve was celebrated at Murasaki Lounge in Downtown Chicago. The ladies tried various mixed drinks and sweet sake. I of course had my usual Japanese beer, Sapporo! The atmosphere at Muraski was lovely and an awesome choice to ring in the New Year.

The most special thing was that a new acquaintance’s friend was proposed to! It brought tears to my eyes as she looked puzzled as a group of her boyfriend's friends came to the bar, and then as he got on one knee. I did feel strange as I barely knew anyone there and didn’t know it was going to happen!


AWWW! NYE engaged

Bathroom selfiesss




We stayed til the lounge closed, talking with each other and also clownin with a group of people and gettin in that Japanese Language practice too! After the bar, we headed to complete our shenanigans at Sandra's, Allie's and Sidoni's hotel for our own New Year Hotel Party! We danced para para, sipped sweet wine, chatted, spilled flamin hots, listened to music, and had pizza gifted to us cuz we were just too damn cute and awesome. But, I do question the choice of pineapple and bacon pizza though....Just a little bit. ;p


"let it goooo" Saw Ari too! Her make was fab!

Squad! fly as fuck

goofin off


Photo bombed!! moohahahah!

gyaru. Para para

There are more pix that I couldn't nab yet still, but I hope that everyone had a safe and happy new year!
