Birthday distress

Its almost my boyfriends birthday, we are celebrating his birthday according to the lunar calender this year, because apparently his family always celebrated that way and he was working on the day of his actual birthday and i didn't even get to see him :( but never mind.

To be honest my gifts for him have always been a bit hit and miss. The first year we were together I bought him a wallet while I was on holidays. But he didn't like it >.< it was a bit too fat... it couldn't fit in his pocket properly

Then for his birthday last year i gave him some Aftershave and shaving lotion, I thought it was a nice set. He uses it sometimes but I still think it was a bit soso.

Then for Christmas I gave him a Tshirt.

Then when I was in Italy this summer I brought him back a tshirt and a camera bag holder. I think the camera holder was the most sucessful gift as it was something practical that he actually needed. However it was black. so it was still a bit soso.

so basically all the gifts I have given him have been soso. So for his birthday I want to buy something a bit more special. But I don't know what to get.

If I think practically we need a mop and bucket, which would make a really horrible gift lol. lets spend your birthday cleaning lol. Another practical thing we need is a clothes horse, nothing says a great birthday gift like lets get washing lol. Another thing we need is a bookshelf, a shoe horse, a desk, a maid.

Even better a baby mop lol

I know he would really like a touch screen phone,because his phone is ancient.. an Ipad, a gameboy 3DSI would also be ideal, but my funds are lacking.

So whats left? new pyjamas, meh, shoes? maybe,

If you have any suggestions please leave it in the comments!!!

The missing bag?

Last Sunday was Edisons farewell lunch as I mentioned but I didn't really talk much about it. We went to a buffet restaurant in the city centre called Jimmy Chungs and to be honest it generally has a pretty good reputation amongst Irish and Chinese, As buffets go it is usually viewed as one of the better ones.

However the day after the buffet I got sick Nancy got sick and on Friday Michelle told me Edison got sick, so I guess the food wasn't as good as we thought it was... but to be honest I've heard rumours about buffets, they recycle the food, if there are food left over one day they reheat it the next day.

Well at least thats what happened in the buffet restaurant in bray and it quickly got shut down by the Health and Safety Authority, but I guess it must b difficult to prove..

Anyway directly after the buffet lunch we were all fine and I went shopping with Edison to help him pick out some gifts for his friends and family in China, we started with the typical suvenirs shops and then gradually went to other clothes shops like Footlocker, Topman, Lifestyle sports, Champion sports, River island and unfortunately Next.

Whilst shopping he bought one of those small hand luggage suitcases which you pull along and as he bought things he put them in there which was pretty convienent. Anyway "Next" was the last shop we went into before we bought ice creams :) and he bought a lovely grey sweatshirt for 35 euro.one of the most expensive things he bought all day.

Then we bought our ice cream and went upstairs and sat down and at them.

Then we went shopping again and headed for the bus and said our farewells and I got on my bus and he got on his and I thought that would be the last time I would see him again until China. 

Then on Wednesday night at 1.30AM luckily my phone was on silent and I didn't wake up, he text me to tell me he had some bad news he can't find the grey sweatshirt @.@ he'd searched everywhere and nope!

then on Wednesday I met him in the college cantine and told me he still couldn't find it. then we said goodbye again and I said good bye to Jia Qi and went home.

Then on friday I had one last excursion with Michelle we went to see Harry Potter 8 that was my third time seeing it, but i didn't want to tell her i had already seen it... because she was waiting for me to go and see it... we went to see Harry Potter 7 together so its only right that we see the last one together. It kind of set the mood for the good bye the end of an era, end of Harry potter the end of michelle's time in Ireland.

I'll miss her

Girl Crushes

Recently I was reading A chick Named Hermis's Blog, she did a post about Girl crushes, basically she said people tend to have a girl crush on a girl who is supposedly a better version of you...I never thought about it that way before but when I started thinking about some of the girl crushes, I have had over the years, It suddenly made me think that may be true.

One of the first girl crushes I can remember is Lashontae Heckard, a half Korean/half African hip hop model. The first time I saw her I thought she was so beautiful and one of the things I liked about her was that she was a plus size model in other words normal average sized person with a full figure. Also she had the same size boobs as me and almost the same height as me. I'm 5ft2 shes 5ft3 She is also an Aries like me! Here are some photos of her. You can find her bio here

You may recognize Lashontae Heckard better from Busta Rhymes feat Mariah Carey "I know what you want"

Another girl crush is Hannah Murray who plays Cassie from Skins. I love that show!!! Although I did like it a lot more when I was a bit younger, it is still fun to watch sometimes. I think I prefer the original characters with Tony, Sid, Cassie etc. But anyway I haven't watched much of the most recent season, in fact I have only seen one episode... not because I didn't like but rather because I didn't have time but I plan to watch more of it when I have free time once I finish this semester. Anyway I liked Cassie because she was funny and quirky and a bit daft and loopy at times, I liked her free spirited nature. I also think her style was always very funky.

 I love her smile!

I am really glad her acting career didn't end after they changed characters...She recently stared in a new movie called chatroom which was rather freaky

The cast of Chatroom

I also fell in love with Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series. I loved her when I read the book and I loved her character even more when she came into the movies. She so pretty, I also like the fact that the actress Evanna Lynch who plays Luna is Irish.

Finally the last girl crush I will mention is Little J aka Jenny Humphrey played by Taylor Momsen from Gossip girl I just love her style  I was so disappointed when I found out she was kicked off the show! Damn real life persona lol. Apparently she's in a band The Pretty Reckless so we definitely haven't seen the last of her Here are some photos

Even with cartoon characters I have always liked the blonde characters lol In the powerpuff girls I always liked bubbles (the one with blonde hair blue eyes.) I used to be super crazy about the Powerpuff girls I even had a Powerpuff girl handbag!

More recently I like Rapunzel from Tangled

So almost all of them have curly or at least wavey hair like me, although they all have a different colour hair colour, I have always been interested in dying my hair possibly blonde but have never got around to it. Maybe some day....
