New Shoes. Drool.

Hi ladies,

Just thought I'd share my most recent splurge- and they're consignment, so not nearly as big of a splurge that they normally would be! These are my new Michael Kors platform sandals.
Funny story actually. I was shopping THREE YEARS ago, and I fell in love with these shoes (but in a dark brown), but they had sold my size, 9, the day before. Oh, and they were like 60% off... uhm... So I have pretty much been fantasizing over these shoes for the past THREE YEARS.

And I go to my fave designer consignment shop and.... OMFG.

♡losing weight and weight control⌒♡+ﾟ

allright this issue has been on my 'coming soon' list for a long time already and few readers have asked me when i'm going to write about it. yesterday and today i've been reading for exams but now i'm totally fed up with reading so i'll spend my evening writing about weight control issues!

and first of all, i have to say that i don't want to stimulate anyone to lose weight or adore super skinniness and become anorexic. i just tell how i myself lost weight by healthy ways and give some tips.

i've been always naturally quite thin and always the smallest one among friends etc.. for a long time i was 47 kg but suddenly last year's spring i became 49 kg. then i thought that i have to lose some weight. i'm not saying that 49 kg is much or it is fat but i just.. wanted to be thinner while reading all those asian fashion magazines etc. i've to admit i adore thinness but wisely. i understand it's not good to be like a skeleton, i adore sexy thinness even if for someone it may be too thin.

well while that time i got few extra kilos, Tung was studying in Vietnam and there was still few months left before he would come back. then i got some strange thoughts in my mind: 'what if he doesn't like me anymore when he comes back and what if he thinks then i'm ugly' etc.. then i decided i have to be more beautiful and thin.


it was spring time when i started jogging and everything. so good time for losing weight. you can really see weight loss from my face. first photo is from March 2009 when i was 47-49 kg, don't remember accurately how much i weigh when take that pic. and in the picture from June 2009 i'm 43 kg. so i lost 6 kilos.

so, how i did it. here's my tips!

DIET

what many persons get wrong is that they think 'i don't eat anything so i lose weight' WRONG WRONG WRONG. THAT'S BULLSHIT. nobody can be without eating for a long time. you will become very hungry and then you just cram tons of sweets and fast food.

1. put effort on your breakfast and lunch. those are most important eating on your day. eat much on those and then you will avoid hunger rest of your day. as for breakfast i eat Fitness full corn flakes with fatless milk or unspiced yoghurt (normal yoghurt has much sugar!!!). with that i eat some wholemeal bread, generally rye bread and some fruits (apple, banana, kiwi, pear..). my lunch i usually eat at school. put vegetables on half of your plate, 1/4 potatoes, rice or pasta and last 1/4 meat or fish. i drink water and eat rye or crispbread. for a snack after school i eat something what i had for a breakfast. dinner is similar to lunch but i'm not eating so much. i don't usually eat evening snack, but if i feel hungry at evening or night then i might take some fruit. anyway, eat some very light at night.

2. asian food. i mostly eat vietnamese food. it's very healthy 'coz it has much vegetables and sea food and herbs. and it's so GOOD!!! chili is often used in that food and chili helps burning calories.

3. avoid cream, cheese, mayonnaise. avoid junk food and sweets. but it's not serious if yu sometimes eat time. for example sweets are my bad habit and sometimes i eat them way too much. but it's more important to change your daily eating habits. it doesn't matter if you sometimes eat something 'forbidden'. just try to cut down on amount of sweets etc.

4. eat a lot of different fruits!! so good and healthy! much vitamins. especially i recommend pomelo! it speeds up your metabolism so you won't caught weight easily. and berries!!

EXERCISING

1. i think, in my case the most effective for losing weight is jogging. last spring i went to jog every evening. you can start by walking, but i run. usually i ran 3-6 kilometres per day. i really think that's the way i lost so much weight.

2. other exercises. actually i was pretty lazy doing these at home so then i just had to force myself to do them. you can try to search different exercise tips from Youtube, there's a lot of great tips!

my favourite exercises are SNSD's exercises that Tiffany and Jessica showed at Star King.


Tiffany's exercise for thighs


Jessica's exercise for waist

put some music and do those ^-^

3. another exercising form that i like especially much is dancing! sometimes i dance just something own and sometimes i learn choreographies. just try to find your form of motion that you like best and do it!


this is my favourite one to dance at the moment.

so with those ways i lost 0,5-1 kg per week.

nowadays i don't try to lose weight anymore. what i do is just for weight control, to keep my current weight. i would like to get my thighs and stomach more flat and tight-fitting and i will try to make it by a muscle exercising, jogging and dancing. i also have still something to improve on my eating habits.

during last winter i didn't jog much 'coz it was too cold, dark and slippery but now spring is coming and i can start daily jogging again. actually this weekend i already tried jogging little bit two times.

sometimes i think i still might want to lose 1-3 kilos, but let's see, i'm pretty okay already with my weight.

those tips for diet and exercise are actually good even if you didn't want to lose weight. with those you will become more healthier.

and plus please don't tell that i'm too thin or my weight is too little. i think it's very all right for me and i didn't lose too much. i'm not saying you should be just same size as me. if i had lost too much like anorexic, i would have also lost my boobs but i still got them same size as before 8D

okay that was all this time and i hope nobody got me wrong. i think i'll be posting some more eating tips, like recipes, and exercising tips here later ^-^!

New Movie "BABIES" coming Mother's Day weekend.

< p="">




"BABIES" is a new film opening Mother's Day weekend.  The film is about 4 of the world's newest humans.  From First breath to First Steps. 

The adventure of a lifetime begins…


Directed by award-winning filmmaker Thomas Balmès, from an original idea by producer Alain Chabat, Babies simultaneously follows four babies around the world – from birth to first steps. The children are, respectively, in order of on-screen introduction: Ponijao, who lives with her family near Opuwo, Namibia; Bayarjargal, who resides with his family in Mongolia, near Bayanchandmani; Mari, who lives with her family in Tokyo, Japan; and Hattie, who resides with her family in the United States, in San Francisco.



Re-defining the nonfiction art form, Babies joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all.



A Focus Features presentation of a Chez Wam/StudioCanal co-production with the participation of Canal +. Babies. Executive Producers, TBC Productions, Chez Wam. Original Idea, Alain Chabat. Adapted by Thomas Balmès. Edited by Craig McKay, A.C.E., Reynald Bertrand. Produced by Alain Chabat, Amandine Billot, Christine Rouxel. Music by Bruno Coulais. Directed by Thomas Balmès. A Focus Features Release.



In theatres Mother's Day Weekend, May 7th.


They will chronical simultaneously:

 Bayar from Bayanchandmani, Mongolia






Hattie from San Francisco, CA



Mari from Tokyo, Japan



and Ponijao from Opuwo, Namibia



Here are some Exclusive film shots from Meet Ponijao.  How sweet!







This looks like a cute film. I think it would be very interesting to see how children are born and raised in other parts of the world.




This is what USA Today is saying about the movie:

okay about this i've been blogging before. i want to have basic pumps in different colors, most i want lavender and white. i didn't find excatly photos from Bianco Footwear's site so i just googled some for examples. lavender pumps are also really rounded, not like in the example pic. i think i'll buy those two pumps next time in helsinki.. now i'll finally do it!


brown leather gladiator style sandals. i think these are nice match with girly white lace dresses. need to order next time from Yumetenbo.. just if it won't be sold out.


studded black heels, also gladiatorish. i still haven't find my real dream shoes of this type and i didn't find perfect picture but.. i know you know what i mean.


heart-shaped mules from Yumetenbo. i'm not 100% sure if i want those. that's the cutest idea for shoes ever but those look a bit retarded on foots~ and i can't decide which color to take! maybe white? or what..?

from 28th April to 1st May i'll be in.. STOCKHOLM! with 9 other students and 2 teachers from my school. it's a trip for 2nd year students and only 10 students can come, and YEAH i was chosed!

if there's any readers from Stockholm, Sweden could you recommend some good shopping places? i know there is toooons of H&M, KappAhl, Lindex, GinaTricot.. and Cubus and BikBok.. anything else? i tried to google if there's Terranova and NewYorker (which i liked a lot in Riga) but it seems there doesn't exist them. or ?? thank for your help and advices ^-^

♡SNSD news⌒♡+ﾟ

SNSD's repackaged album Run Devil Run was released and i already introduced you Run Devil Run. there is also two new tracks on the album.

Echo - cutesy style like old SNSD


acoustic R&B version of Star Star Star


i wonder why there is only Yoona in album photo? (o.O) there should be all nine girls! someone said in allkpop.com that the albm photo looks like a movie poster. and hahah that's true i agree! "Run Devil Run coming to theathers soon".

their first live performance of Run Devil Run in Music Bank 100319. woaaah i love Sunny's kick @0:57 (*≧∇≦*)ﾟ


there has been talk about SNSD copying Kesha. Kesha recorded a guide track version of this song and it was unofficial. track was composed by Busbee, Alex James and Kalle Engström and SM Entertainment bought the song from them. so SNSD has copyrights now, they are not copying. here is Kesha's version of Run Devil Run. SNSD makes it so much better! (*＾∀＾*)

♡weekend with Tung⌒♡+ﾟ

i had my typical weekend at Tung's (*yωy*) on Saturday we were at work as usual.

here is my outfit:
grey cardigan from KappAhl
white lace shirt from ONLY
black high-waisted frilly skirt from Jim&Jill
ribbon belt (which you hardly see) from my sister
rose stockings from Glitter
boots from Pinky Rose
bag from Deary


i made a record! went to shopping and spent only 1€. for a subway ticket hahaha. 'cause i went to shoppin in order to buy just one top that i saw in H&M's spring/summer magazine but it wasn't on sold yet, but it'll be in May. so~ i didn't get that top now but i went to look at the shoes i've been watching at Bianco Footwear for a many many times but still.. i didn't buy them (人-ω-`)


the badass and the nerd ﾟ｡+(o´∀`)ﾉ+｡ﾟ ahaha i love this photoﾟ+❤ i'm wearing Tung's glasses~ he never uses them T_T


EWWW wrinkle forehead ( ゜Д゜) i can't understand why my forehead always goes like that. Tung didn't like to camwhore so he tried to hide (;_;)


but i caught him to a picture (o^∇^)o


i bought Ching Poo Luong as a provision for a trip to home. this is very goood!!! ゜+。(*ゝз・*)。+ it's kind of a dessert which contains seeds, beans and rice. besides very sweet taste, it's very healthy. totally fat free and per serve there is only 164 kcal. after i had eaten little bit over half of this i already felt really full! i recommend (`･ω･)
