new deco ~

It was time to update my deco, it looked okay from afar but up close it was...

Removing the gems is annoying but not difficult. 

Yuck! Gotta isopropyl the adhesive away.

This is what the phone looks like without gems on it. It's great with a simplistic look if you prefer that, but of course I prefer the deco.

I went with a clustered blue and silver star theme this time! It was much more single gems this time so I hope it stays well....

Also, I haven't talked about it but months ago, my iPod stopped working... I'm not sure why but I think it's because I don't have a firewire. I must have let it get below the minimum charge one day and the USB just couldn't charge it back up anymore. Well, I can't afford a firewire at this time so... I've been without an MP3 player. For a while I was using my old iPhone as one, but of course I hate that. If I wanted to carry a smartphone, I wouldn't have gotten a flip phone!

Well today I decided to sacrifice the only microSD card I have for my phone and just load music there. It works great! The native UI is fine, but I'm also trying out Musicolet, which is awesome!

Yesterday I went out in the evening to meet my friend Shiloh after a long time.

 Since neither of us have cars and they live in the city proper it's hard to meet up.

We met at a tea shop and I was feeling sick of sweets from mochi donuts in the morning... so I got a 30% sweet cheese green tea. I only sipped on it and had like 1/4 lol.

I wasn't sure what we would do but things kinda fell into place, they got a disposable and we walked to DAISO and then to thrift!Honestly I had a great time and I want to go cooked shopping more often.

Some crazy products we saw...

a whole family and every single one got donated...

Why is it so medieval?

Is that...

Christian bolo tie??

(Also, Shiloh gave me a gift )

I have a plan to use those phone charm strap kits to make a nail set. I was going to also buy the Pooh buttons they used to sell but it seems they no longer sell them. Now I'm not surer what to do ww.

Aren't these so retro? I looked it up and it seems they are supposed to be appliqués, but I had a vision to use them as a garland so I'm going to crochet a strand for them. I can't decide whether to put them horizontally or vertically like this?

The mirror was a bust... at first I thought it's a great deal on something I needed anyways, because these things are so expensive, it was only $3.99. But, it was SO filthy, so insanely filty. And, buying electronics from the thrift store is always a gamble, and this time it was a loss. It makes a freaky zapping noise when I press the button and doesn't light up properly. It'll go back to the thrift if it's not useful enough without the light. 

I had two code yesterday. In the morning, J's decree was "Wear something super cutesy" and then changed to "wear something warm and cozy", and he specifically picked out this Majorena sweater. I was kind of glad he did because I haven't worn this sweater since I bought it (I just don't know what bottoms to pair it with). 

CODE 1 wa

top...MAJORENA

pants...2ndhand

boots...WC

accessories... as usual

But after all I wasn't totally happy with it at the time, it just wasn't my mood, so I changed for the afternoon.

CODE 2 wa

Also, I've been using this product recently and I like it! It does make me sleepy but I don't mind that.

Now I will write about yesterday!

Normally every morning sort of as a joke, I ask J "what should I wear today", but recently he started actually answering me! So I've been trying to use it as a sort of challenge to coordinate in new ways.

Yesterday he told me "Do a cowgirl look", so I tried my best.

hat...target

top...TRALALA

shorts...d.i.a.

boots...2ndhand

accessories...gift,2ndhand,handmade,target,SHEIN,d.i.a.

In the morning we were grocery shopping and got a coffee, then in the afternoon MiL took us out for dinner for my birthday. It was... RAMEN AGAIN! 

This time I had the spicy creamy chicken ramen. I know it's not traditional but I'm a fan of creamy ramen.

Then I went out with Olivia at night.

By this point I changed my outfit but I never got a pic wwww not of my make either. I just never had time.

We didn't even make it like 10 meters from the apartment before we saw a rogue Shiba Inu running around without an owner. We pulled over and started to chase it. two other girls also saw it and joined us, at least they had dog treats in their car!

But the dog was scared of strangers and wouldn't come to us, it bolted across the heavy traffic several times and ultimately made the slip on us and we lost it.

So the mood was uhhhh weird after that.

We went to Ross and I bought some home items, since it's near valentines day there's stuff that fits into my decor image.

Olivia also watched episode 1 of YuGiOh Season 0 wwww

I wonder how she thought of it.
