Motivation in a Way
Wednesday February 25, 2009
I miss it SO much~~ I grew up in a place that not only was it celebrated but we got more days off for Mardi Gras than Easter~ MISS IT!!!! But that also means today is Ash Wednesday and given my Catholic upbringing I’ve decided to partake in Lent this year! Sure I skipped it in recent years but after having to forcible take part in Lent for the first 18 years of my life, I had reasons for wanting to skip the “joyous” season. So for Lent I’m drastically curbing my spending. Seriously! No more taking a look at sales racks just for the hell of it, just to blow random money~~ My closet is full anyway! I’m also using Lent to get back in the habit of not eating after dinner (*cough* gained a few pounds from falling off the bandwagon! *cough*)
So let me say I bought these things yesterday! Hahahah
on sale for 99 cents! :excitedyo:
cheap tank
This tank reminded me of the D&G maillot マリエ and Rinka both wore :fleetheart: Well, a little at least :laughingheart:
Though it’s kinda funny how identical マリエ’s cover outfit is to the runway outfit~ :lol:
Does anyone have Halcali’s “Strawberry Chips” (ストロベリーチップス) ?? I can’t find it anywhere and I wish iTunes would just let me purchase shit from iTunes Japan but noooooooo. :girlrage: It’s from their Ongaku no Susume album (I’ll totally take the whole album if someone has it, hahaha)
Thanks guys! Got it!

No such thing as Mardis Gras where I live either. But I wish there was if it meant more days off.
Oh, you can try asking the people at this forum for Halcali.http://www.getasianmusic.com/forum/index.php
If you request, you might have a chance of someone posting it up for you.
and yes, don’t comment much but your blog is quite amusing to read when I’m tired of doing my homework. Hello anyways. :D -
*-* Love the top! I didn’t know what Mari Gras until you made a post about it xD looks like fun!
-
I think I had a dream about Mardi Gras the other day… lololol.
And Halcali has supercute music!
I uploaded the MP3 for Strawberry Chips in case you still wanted it
P:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9RW64BS9
Hope it works (:
-
Good luck with lent. I need to stop spending too…but it’s so hard to control my urges to buy things…
-
-I tried posting something earlier and I don’t think it worked..
‘A’But I love Halcali~
And if you still need the MP3 for the song,http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9RW64BS9
Hope it workssss(:
-
=D maybe i should curb my spending for lent too :/ sounds like a good thing to give up for a while. Cute top! can’t believe you remember stuff from magazines while you shop.. I always forget :P
-
Jen! I emailed you the song and where to get the album :D
-
oo nice fake lashes! :) studied in a catholic school for 9 years and we had to partake in Lent even though we weren’t catholics! i’m not a catholic btw. :)
you know i think we celebrate mardi gras here in australia just that i have no idea what it actually is. :)
-
Fat Tuesday is Shrove Tuesday over here, aka, Pancake day! When the youngest school children get to make pancakes instead of normal lessons, brilliant.
Do you think looking at sales racks for the hell of it has been influenced by poupee in any way? In my case, YES! If I have a couple pounds left I’ll spend them!
(and the fact that it’s almost march and there are STILL sales going on doesn’t help!)$0.99 eyelashes!! (・∀・)イイ!!
-
Gahh I dont like iTunes cuz of that! Whyyyy but my sister got コブクロ from the Australian iTunes somehow hehe
The lashes are cool!!~~ :D -
ah you could always just search the title & ‘mediafire’ in google and you’ll usually find something. ;D I always liked that song ^^
OMG I’ve lived in the states for like almost 8 years and I have no idea what lent is ._. lol it feels like this is the first time I’ve heard of it all of a sudden.
-
I’m Catholic too, but I’ve never done Lent *fail* I don’t have enough willpower anyway, lol! Good luck though~!
That tank really does resemble the D&G malliot, lol~ Where did you get it?
-
Love the lashes! In terms of the music, you should try going on Livejournal and looking up communities where they swap Japanese music. I joined a bunch where they put up for download Korean music that I can’t purchase anywhere.
-
Hehe giving up spending is probably a really good thing to do for lent. I didn’t think of that. Good luck with that ;)
Cute new top — I’ve seen it in a couple of magazines now :)
-
I’ve been wanting to try fake lashes again…aren’t e.l.f. products already all $1?
Nautical is super cute ^-^ Ahh and I love Natasha (D&G model), Marie, and Rinka
-
Your cher tote bag photos are been used on other websites.
Dont know if you knew, but I thought you should know. -
cute tank
tons of nautica inspired items this season! -
whaaa, where can you buy those e.l.f eyelashes?
people talk about them but i can never find them ==
and i love fat tuesday/mardi gras
but i couldnt find king cake(?) this year
and that makes me so so sad =( -
My stupid internet was freaking out otherwise I would’ve sent you the HALCALI album hours ago. Haha! I have the entire first album too though.
-
i fell in love with the vivi’s cover!!!
so cute! -
That tank is too cute. I wish I had one! I have a really cute fake gold anchor necklace but my friend refuses to give it back to me. :’(
Hehe, I didn’t even realize it was Mardi Gras until I saw someone wearing some beads.
✩Those eyelashes✩
-
Marine style is so cute! But I can’t wear it because horizontal stripes give a wider look and I am wide enough -_-;
-
If you haven’t already found the CD, here’s a linkie for you!

Love Halcali! :D I get most of my Japanese music off Limewire or buy albums from Yes Asia.
Yeah I think Mardi Gras is a more southern thing. We don’t really have any celebrations around here LOL
Cute shirt! ;D
-
Good thing you’re doing for lent! I wish you all the luck and self-control.

Nice lashes~ When I grew up I didn’t even know what Mardi Gras was, haha. Nobody I know celebrates it at all or even acknowledges it. :/ Sounds fun, though. :)
