Hello everyone! It's been a while ㅠㅠ I've been so busy with school and life that I haven't been able to update for the past month and a half, but it's all over! I'm back and I have a new series I want to start~
Happy 1st Anniversary of my blog & Happy 20th birthday to me! ;)
블로그 1주 년 축하축하 & 내 21번째 생일 축하축하! ㅋㅋㅋ
I look really tired ㅠㅠ This is what a long school day does to me.... |
I'll be honest, I didn't think that I would have this blog for so long. I have a bad habit of starting big projects, but never finishing them. I expected to lose interest in blogging after a few months, but I'm glad that I stuck with it ;)
솔직히...제가 이 블로그를 1년 넘을꺼라고 생각도 안했어요. 제가 큰 프로젝트 시작하고 끝까지 안 하는 나쁜 습간이있어요 ㅠㅠ 제가 몇개월 안에 블로그를 포기할꺼라고 생각했는데, 포기 안 해서 너무 기쁘고, 너무 다행이에요 ;)
A few days ago, I tried a very simple look for these pictures. This pictorial's concept: Military Look.
몇 일 전에, 굉장히 심플한 스타일로 촬영했어요. 이번 콘셉트는 군인 스타일.
As I continually have mini photoshoots here, I've found that my patio is the perfect place to take pictures. I usually take pictures earlier in the day and usually the neighbors are all at school/work. But even if they were home, we have a nice bamboo covering to cover the part under our upstairs neighbor's patio, and that's the best place ;) Seeing as it's summer, it's way to hot to shoot in the sun.
계속 셀프 촬영하면서 제 안뜰이 얼마니 좋은 배경인지 알게 됐어요. 저는 낮에, 이웃이 다 학교나 일하러 나가있을때, 많이 촬열해요. 근대 혹시나 그 분들이 집에 있을때 겁정할 필요없지요~ 우리가 대나무 커튼있어서, 반대편에서 그늘 진 곳에서는 못 봐요. 여름이라, 항상 그늘에서 사진 찍어요. 캘리포니아 햇빛이 너무 쎄서, 도저히 햇빛 아래 촬영 못 해요.
I've been wanting to take some new artsy photos for a while now. I felt that my Nikon was going to waste, since I was only using it for selfies. It was too hot to go out somewhere, so I just decided to stay home...so here are my Patio Photos.

kpop
Tea & more GOT7
I don't drink coffee, and I'm not much of a soda person either. It's always juice or water for me. Juice usually has too much sugar, so I decided to try out some tea from The Republic of Tea.
I didn't want to buy too much, just in case I didn't like any of the tea I bought.
안 좋아할 수도 있으니깐 일부러 많이 안 샀어요.
This Vans x Disney collaboration came out early June, but the reason it took me a month to get my pair was because I could not decide which pair I wanted ㅠㅠ All the designs are just so pretty. If I had the money, I would totally buy them all...but that wouldn't be a very good investment.
이 반스 x 디즈니 콜라보는 6월 초에 나왔는데, 저는 한 달 늦게 산 이유는 하나를 못 골라서였어요 ㅠㅠ 디자인이 다 너무 이뻐요. 돈만 있었으면, 다 샀죠...근데 그건 좋은 투자는 아니죠..
Anime Expo was in LA a few days ago, July 2-5 to be exact. I didn't go, but I kinda wish I didㅠㅠ. My brother went with his friends for the first two days, and brought me back some things! So let me take the time to show you what he got me~ My Anime Expo goodies!
몇 일 전이 로스앤젤레스 애니매이션 엑스포였어요. 전 안 간는데...갔을껄ㅠㅠ. 제 동생이 친구들이랑 이틀갔는데 제 선물 몇개 사췄어용~ 제가 여러분한테 보여주고 싶어서, 소개합니다! 제 애니매이션 엑스포 선물!
Eye Mask, Posters, Sticker, Figure
안대, 포스터, 스티커, 피규어

Mnet Sixteen
UPDATE 150707! Ending spoilers at the bottom of the post ;))
FINALLY! After almost 2 months! I've caught up on all the episodes! What episodes, you ask? Why, episodes of Mnet's Sixteen, of course!
I'm not a big fan of these Kpop survival shows. It's honestly heartbreaking watching how hard these young trainees are working for what seems like an unattainable dream. YG's Winner absolutely killed me. That ending...
Anyway. In Sixteen, the oldest girl is the same age as I am, a 95 liner, 19 years old. She's the OLDEST. The youngest was born in 2002. She's only 13! Not only that, she's from Thailand. Can you imagine how hard it is for her to be away from her family that young?
Recently, I've found a new hobby: collage-ing! Actually, it's not really a new hobby. I've always enjoyed making collages. It's the main reason I'd buy so many magazines.
최근에 새로운 취미를 찾았어요: 콜라주 만들기! 솔직히 새로운 취미는 아니죠. 평상시에 콜라주 만든는게 질기고 되게 좋아해요. 잡지를 자주 사는 이유에요 ;)
With so much time on my hands, I was in dire need of something to do. As I was cleaning my room, I found my collection of magazine cutouts and saved candy wrappers, and I had an amazing idea! Why don't I make artistic collages? I mean, if I don't use them, I'd have to throw them all out, and that would be such a waste.
시간이 너무 많아서, 진짜 뭐라도 찾아서 해야되는 상황이였어요. 방 청소하다가 모아논 잡지 페이지랑 사탕 봉지를 찾았는데, 잡자기 아주 좋은 아이디어가 생각났어요. 콜라주를 만드면 어떨까? 아니, 이 열심히 모은것을 지금 안 쓰면 버려야된다는 생각이 너무 아까워서, "지금부터 써야 겠다!" 결심했어요.
I finally dyed my hair on Wednesday, after almost a year!
수요일에 드디어, 1년 만에, 염색 했어요!
So you can't actually see my hair color in any of these pictures :/ I wanted to have a background that would match my outfit. As a result, these pictures are a bit brighter than my usual pictures.
보시면, 새 머리 색갈은 잘 안 보여오ㅠㅠ 옷이랑 잘 맞는 배경을 갖고 싶어서 이번 사진들은 평소보다 좀 더 밝아요.
I think I really have a shopping addiction.
제가 진짜 쇼핑 중독인가봐요.
After spending so much at Sephora two weeks ago, I went to Citadel Outlets and Koreatown last week and got more things that I don't need.
2 주 전에 세포라에서 돈 많이 썼는데도, 저번 주 세시타델 아울렛랑 LA 한인타운가고 또 쓸때없는 것을 더 샀죠.
Pinocchio Mug from the Disney Store
디즈니 스토어 피노키오 머그컵
Since I don't drink coffee or hot tea, I really don't have a need for another mug cup...but I could not pass on this. It was just too cute!
제가 커피나 차를 안 마셔서 머그컵 또 살 필요하지 않은데....이거 보고 패스 못 했어요. 너무 귀엽잖아요!
Because Mother's Day was the Sunday before finals week, I wasn't able to get my mom anything. So yesterday, she and I went to the mall to get her something nice...and I couldn't resist getting a few things for myself ;)
어머니 날이 파이널 전 일요일이라서, 선물을 못 샀어요 ㅠㅠ 그래서, 엄마가 원하는 선물을 사러 백화점으로 가게 됬어요...못 참고 내 선물도 몇개 샀지요 ;)
I spent most of my money in Sephora. I don't think I've bought so much from Sephora with my own money haha. I figured I'd make a Sephora haul post with all my buys ;)
세포라에서 돈을 제일 많이 섰어요. 그렇게 많이 산게 처음인거 같에요 ㅋㅋㅋ 많이 샀으니깐 세포라 하울 글 올려야죠 ;)
I'm back with a selca set~
다시 셀카 세트를 올립니다~
Last Monday, I wanted to use the last of the makeup I bought last month. The only product that I hadn't used was the Melted liquified lipstick. So actually, this post is half review, half selca post ;)
지난 월요일에, 저번달에 산 화장을 쓰고 싶었어요. 거의 다 썼는데, 하나만 나맜죠: 멜티드 리퀴파이드 립스틱! 그래서 이 글은 반 리뷰, 반 셀카 입니다~
I'm sure you've noticed by now, but I am a total selfie junkie.
아마 다 아실텐데, 저는 완전 셀카홀릭 입니다.
Despite having tons of homework to do last Monday, I decided to have a mini photo session.
숙제가 많았는데도 불구하고, 월요일 날에 셀카 촬영했습니다.
My fashion role model is the beautiful Ms. CL of 2ne1.
제 패션 롤모델이 너무 이름다운 투에니원에 씨엘님 입니다.
2ne1 came out at a time when I was really struggling to find my own fashion style. I had a very tomboy fashion sense. Actually, I think I wore boy clothes for a long period of time. In 8th grade, I finally learned what embarrassment was...and my style was embarrassing.
제가 한참 저만에 스타일/패션을 찾고 있었을떼 투에니원이 데뷔했어요. 초등학교 6학년에서 중학교 2학년 첫 학기까지, 저는 굉장히 톰보이였어요. 심지여 남자 옷이 더 좋았고, 남자 옷 질겨입었어요. 중2학년때 드디어 깨달았어요. 제 스타일이 진짜 창피했어요.
Right as I was going through these struggles, this wonderful being known as CL came into my life. Let's be honest, she wasn't as pretty back then as she in now, but her style was on point! She was so cool. I wished I could have her style.
그렇게 힘들었을때, 씨엘님이 낳다났죠. 그때는 지금처럼 안 이뻤지만, 스타일이 죽였어요! 너무 멋있었어요. "나도 이렇게 멋진 스타일이 있었으면.." 이 생각밖에 안났어요.
It's been a good 6 years since then, and CL's style is greater than ever. Let's take a look at it ;)
6년이 자났는데도, 완벽한 패션센스! 함께 보시죠~
It's scary how fast time passes.
시간이 너무 빨리 지나가네요.
It's already the one year anniversary of the tragic Sewol sinking.
벌써 일년이 지났다니... 세월호 1주기
Yayyyy for surprises in the mail ;))
I got my Campus VoxBox from Influenster today :) I had been waiting very impatiently for this. I got the email telling me that I'd be getting this VoxBox on the 7th . That's only six days...but I felt like it was weeks xD I'm just glad it got here safely~
As promised, I'll be doing a little review of the things I bought on Saturday.
약속한데로 토요일에 샀던 화장품 리뷰 시작 하겠습니다.
The products I'll be talking about are the Benefit push-up liner, Too Faced lip cream, and the L'Oréal mascara :)
오늘 리뷰할 화장품은 베네피트 푸쉬업 라이너, 투페이스드 립 크립, & 로레알 마스카라 입니다 :)
Happy Saturday everyone~
여러분, 좋은 토요일이에용~
My mom had a day off so we decided to have a Girls' Day Out ;) Since she had a bunch of GAP rewards she wanted to redeem, we decided to just go to the mall. Obviously, I got some clothes, but the highlight of my day was my Makeup and Nail haul :)
엄마가 쉬는 날이라서 데이트하기로 했어요~ 어차피 갭으로 가야되서, 그냥 백화점으로 가리로 했어요. 당연히 옷도 샀지만, 오늘에 하이라이트는 화장품 & 네일 하울이였죠 ;))

blog,
Name Change!!
Has everyone been doing well? :) This is just an announcement about some changes to my blog.
여러분~ 잘 지내셨죠? :) 별거 아니고, 그냥 이름 변화 안내 글 입니다.
After a lot of debating, I've decided to change my blog link to Lady Christiiney :) I think this name is much easier to remember than 951005...and it just looks so much prettier~
고민 많이 하고 결겅했는데, 제 블로그 링크 바꿨어요! 이젠 레이디 크리스티니이에요 :) 951005보단 쉽고, 그냥 더 이쁘지 않아요? ㅋㅋ
As for the blog name, I also changed that to Lady Christiiney♡, but the unofficial name is still "千里の道も一歩から". I like it too much to get rid of it, but again, Lady Christiiney is easier to remember.
블로그 이름도 바꿨는데, 그래도 "千里の道も一歩から"를 나둘려고요. 제가 진짜 마음에 드는 일본 속담이고 그냥 없에기가 너무 아까워요 ㅋㅋ 근데 레이디 크리스티니♡가 훨씬 쉽잖아요.
And I'm back with another favorites post~
다시 찾아온 페이버릿 글!
As we say goodbye to March, I introduce to you, my March Favorites :) Let's go!
3월은 이제 안녕~ 3월 페이버릿 지금 시작합니다, 고고!
After finding out that the nail polish that I had sitting under my bathroom sink were too old to use, I threw them all out with a heavy heart ㅠㅠ But that gave me an excuse to buy some more ;) which led to my mini Moyou London and Nature Republic nail product haul.
제가 갖고있는 매니큐어 너무 오래되서, 무거운 마음으로 다 버리게됬어요ㅠㅠ 다 버렸으니깐...더 사야되는게 맞잖아요~ ㅋㅋㅋ 이왕 사는거면 좋은거 사야죠, 그쵸? ㅋㅋㅋ 그래서 좋은거 샀읍니다~ ㅎㅎㅎ 이제부터 시작, 제 모유런던 & 네이처리퍼블릭 하울!4 nail polishes, 3 stamping plates, a stamper, and a scraper |
As much as I would like to, I can't get a new phone whenever I wantㅠㅠ I can't afford to...and even if I could, I don't think that would be a good use of money. With new phones constantly coming out, it's hard to ever be satisfied with what you have...
So, in order to suppress my desire, I've come up with a new hobby: buying phone cases. I currently have 7 cases, and I'm hoping to stop there xD
Before I got into GOT7, before Jackson became my Hong Kong prince, there was someone else that held the number one spot in my heart. That someone else is the oh-so-popular Kim Jongin, Exo's Kai.
갓세븐 좋아하기 전에, 왕잭슨이 내 홍콩 왕자님되기전에 제 마음속에 다른 남자가 이었어요. 그 남자는 바로 김종인, 엑소 카이입니다.
Being completely honest, all my thoughts Kai were tucked away at the back of my mind...if I had any thoughts of him. I've just been so obsessed with Jackson that I haven't had much time for Kai, but because of recent events, I am being overwhelmed with the resurfacing of my feels for the Exo member.
솔직히, 요즘에 이 오빠 생각할 틈이 없었어요. 잭슨한테 너무 빠져가지고, 카이는 그냥 머리에서 없어졌는데, 몇 일전 부터 제 머리속엔 오직 니니오빠네요.
As February comes to an end, I thought I'd post my own, February Favorites :) A list of things I've grown to love over the last 28 days, ranging from dolls to makeup to tv shows.
2월이 끝나면서 2월 페이버릿 글이 쓰고 싶어지내요 ㅋㅋ 지난 28일동안 사랑하게된 물건들. 인형부터 화장, 쇼까지. 참 사랑 많죠? ㅋㅋㅋ
Finally! After wearing my beloved black and pink Sketchers for over a year I finally got new sneakers!
드디어! 제가 1년 넘게 즐겨 신었던 운동화를 버리고 새 신발 샀습니다!
Part two to my mini Photo Haul: Vivitar Multi-Coated Filter Kit!
Being completely honest, I don't remember the real reason for buying this. I never had a particular desire to have filters...
Not too long ago, I was on Amazon looking for a book I needed for one of my classes and noticed that most of my "Recommendations" section was of camera stuff. I ended up buying a lot more than just a textbook xD
I had a mini Photography Haul! Lenses for my phone, filters and a remote for my Nikon. |
Lately, I've been interested in getting into cellphone photography (is that even a thing?). I always have my phone with me and it's just easier to take pictures. As much as I would like to, I can't carry around my Nikon wherever I go. I'd probably ruin it even more that I already have ㅠㅠ (my cracked screenㅠㅠ). Anyway, I've been using camera apps on my phone (mainly B612 and VSCO Cam) and they've made my pictures very nice, but I wanted to take it a step further. After reading countless reviews, I decided on getting the Yopo LQ-003 3-in-One Photo Lens set.
It's February 14th...so Happy Valentine's Day~♡
오늘은 2월 14일이네요...여러분~ 해피 발렌타인 데이~♡
Actually, it's Singles Awareness Day for me xD As someone who has been single since birth ㅠㅠ Valentine's Day usually isn't that big of a deal for me, BUT! My brother got himself a girlfriend a few weeks ago. My baby brother has a girlfriend!! What is the madness?!! He's all grown up nowㅠㅠ
모태솔로인 나는 어떡해ㅠㅠ 언제 남친이 생길까요? 벌써 한국나이로 21인데ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 저는 원래 발렌타인 데이되면 별생각이 없는데, 최금에 남동생이 여친이 생겼어요!! 내 베이비 브러더가 여친이 생겻다고요!! 이게 뭡니까?!! 다 컸어ㅠㅠ
Over the last couple of years, I've found myself wearing more dresses and skirts. My wardrobe almost completely changed over the years. I bought the Painted Floral Scuba Skirt from Express a few months ago and it has quickly become my favorite.
I usually don't go to concerts, even if I really like the performer, because I don't have anyone to go with ㅠㅠ So when a Kpop group comes to town, I just watch the fancams and read the accounts online. When I saw the announcement of FTHX in LA on my Facebook timeline a few months ago, I just let out a sigh and kept on scrolling.
같이 갈 사람이 없어서 콘서트를 자주 가지 않아 ㅠㅠ. 내가 좋아하는 한국 가수가 온다고 해도 그냥 다음 날 팬캠이나 기사잀으는 펀이에요. 그래서 에프티 아일랜드가 미국콘서트 한다고 들었을때 별 생각, 관심이 없었음. 어짜피 안 갈 꺼니깐...
FT Island was the group that got me into Kpop way back in 2007. I had been living in Japan at the time and I just happened to see their debut music video. I fell head-over-heels for the handsome vocalist, Lee Hongki ♡
사실, 에프티 아일랜드는 나한테 되게 소중한 가수! 에프티 아일랜드땜에 지금 이렇게 한국음악을 좋아하게됬어요. 2007에 우연히 티비보다가 "사랑앓이" 뮤비를 보게됬는데.. 그 순간, 잘 생긴 홍기오빠 매력에 폭 빠졌지요~♡
Anyway, I had no plans of going to FTHX. I actually forgot about it...until the day before. One of my friends announced in our group chat that she had a few free tickets for the concerts and whoever wanted to go should contact her. What had happened was she had a friend who knew someone working at the concert and she was able to hook my friend up. I actually didn't see that message because I was in class, but another friend asked if I wanted to go. How can I say no to a free concert?
아까 말하다 싶히, 전 에프티 아일랜드 콘서트 갈 생각이 없었었음. 솔직히 말하면, 콘서트가 있다는 사실을 잊어버렸어요 ㅋㅋ. 근데, 콘서트 전 날, 친구 한 명이 카톡 그룹채트에서 콘서트 가고 싶은 사람있냐고 물었어요. 친구에 칠구가 아는 분이 FnC에 일한다고, 티켓 몇개 받았다고 얘기 하더라구... 따른 친구가 "같이 갈까?" 묻길레 가면 재밌을 거 같다는 생각이 들었어요. 공짠데 어떻게 거부해요?! ㅋㅋㅋ
I haven't had bangs since Junior of high school and since they took so long to grow back, I had no real desire to get bangs again...
As the last day of the year, I decided that it was a day that had to be dedicated to two of my favorite pastimes: selfies and makeup ♡
