It’s Been Like Living in Fog

Thursday, 2/5 [2009] // 46 Comments

First off I installed threaded comments this week! Finally~ Last time I tried installing it I was using pop-up comments (like 2 years ago?! Dear lord!) and the script didn’t work so great with pop-up comments so I dropped it. I often get questions or want to comment on something someone has said and often it’s hard to reply to them so this is just easier! I used to try to remember to answer comments in the next blog post but I fail so whatever~ Love it? Hate it? Does it make the page load slow? Could you not care any less? HAHAAH

I’ve been pretty stressed out since last weekend. I have an extremely short fuse and zero patience… I won’t get into why because the why is just LIFE and will change and go away but till then OMFGGGGG S T R E S S SSSSS

But there has been some relief of course!!~~ Like a peaceful bath~


Corner of my tub! Zakka feeling I think~
The small vases were a wedding gift. Hand blown Israeli glass


I also did some light shopping. Picked up 2 items for spring. A cute pair of sunglasses and a new hat!



I picked up the hat because it kinda reminded me of this “Spring Hit” from Vivi

full hit scan

I talked about Rinka in the previous entry so I wanted to share this CUTiE BEFORE&AFTER where the girl used Rinka as inspiration! I LOVE what Rinka’s been doing lately with her shorter cut! BOWS BOWS BOWS! It’s cute Plus CUTiE’s BEFORE&AFTERs are flippin’ hilarious some times! I swear these girls can’t be walking around looking THAT BAD before!

Baha now, this is why I love this blog, Jenny because you sometimes post exactly what I’m thinking -

The CUTiE make-overs made me laugh so hard; did they make them look WORSE before shooting the “Before” pic?? XD

Oh, I love the new thread comment thing, it reminds me of how livejournal comments work. Very neat and handy~

Your house is always so nice and I love how you always have these very interesting and fun stuff to blog about on your blog.

Never commented here before but now I haaaaave to~ The little comment box is too cute to resist. I love your bath corner, so serene. Especially the adorable little duckies! I think you posted pics of those before, no?
My favorite of your buys is the hat. Hats are fabulous!

I like the threaded comments thingie~
Funny photos! Yeah~ It’s funny to see how some of the people looked like before. I think anyone can make oneself pretty if she wants to.

I like your new things… I always like what you buy…. I think you’re style is totemo cute. The scan reminds me of popteen at my work… they had the before pictures looking all crazy too. and the after is always super pachin and cute looking… he

OOH threaded comments looks so flash! I too tried it ages ago and gave up, maybe I’ll copy you XD

YES, Surely they didn’t look that bad before. It’d be wrong that they find so many girls to make over anyway, like Japan would be an unstylish place without make-up artists, hairdressers and stylists!

Your bathtub is so cute… it makes me want to use mine more and make it all cutesy!

The hat and glasses are super cute, perfect for spring!

WAWAWA I tried threaded comments but I just don’t know how to make it look pretty so I gave up. My patience with HTM and PHP these days are next to none. Maybe I will try again when I get desperate D:

I love hot baths! I can’t wait till winter comes so I can go crazy with bath balls. I love seeing them fizz up! It’s so fun. My sister and I use to play with them in the sink when we didn’t want to bathe

I seriously doubt people go around looking like their before shots! Magazinessssss, always trying to fool people, haha~

its been a long time since i took a bath- i usually take showers. aha~ i definitely can see the zakka feel

I so want a bubble bath! However, I am so scared to do it in my bathtub at my apartment since it’s so old and dirty. Maybe once I get back home to my parent’s house… Your bathtub is so nice and clean and pretty. ^___^

*hugs* I hope things calm down for you soon, bb… I’ve been so stressed lately too, so I can def relate! (-o-

Threaded comments are win though ♪ Glad you finally figured it out, haha~
& I covet your sunglasses!! lol & I love your side-swept bangs too… I think I need to grow mine out a bit more before I can do something like that φ(.. )

I’ve been loving Rinka’s bows lately too♥ I really want to try that with my hair sometime!

btw, I’ve got a new blog now, so you can reach me at that one now! I really appreciate it (^^ゞ

thread comments is cool

I love the sunglasses I have a hat similar except the colors are switched. And I agree,there’s no WAY the before an after are correct!

Hrooo

I love threaded comments! /HIGHFIVE! Yes, you have joined the hoarde! Ahem! But it’s really handy to reply to people’s comments with a click of a button! Nifty, even!

Waaa - hope the weekend goes well with you ne! I, personally, am going to try to get a little therapeutic shopping in! Although the things that I want are a little exxy D; A new camera would be nice! My bf’s found the coolest tech shop that sells them for $100 less than retail (Cannons!!) - hooray!

Love the sunnies too! The only reason I would want to ditch my glasses is to be able to grab some sunnies! O THE HUMANITY! ;p

Aww your bath looks so pretty and un-cluttered. *jealous* I totally need more storage in the bathroom

I think I’ve seen those new items before… on Poupee… Super cute

Bows are just SO pretty, aren’t they? I’m in love with them at the moment

I saw that Rinka thing and thought of you
They must be putting on the “ugly” looks on purpose cuz if you saw in that CUTiE or the Feb one they had this exercise and diet thing with のんちゃん they made her wear a tshirt thats too big for her in the before pic and a nicely fitting one on the after pic XD
Like your sunnies btw

jenny said
February 6, 2009 @ 10:08 pm

Oh I know! And they stand all slouchy and unnatural with the after picture looking AMAZZZZING!

Wow~ I never take baths anymore. The last time I took one was in a public bathhouse in Taiwan. It was really nice/hot/soothing, but there were no rubber duckies

Oh god, I don’t know how you’ve been able to NOT comment back when people ask you something XD I would’ve died without a reply function. And I know how messy it would be if you replied to every comment the way your comment system was before. The reader comments already took off 80% of your pages lenght so hahaha.

But I love your glasses!!

 
Seriya said
February 8, 2009 @ 7:32 pm

I LOVE the sunglasses! Usually really big glasses don’t look good on me so I have to search and search for something just right. I def. miss taking baths. I cant here at this apt that I am but I plan on moving to a really cuter place soon! I love the rubber duckies btw XD

 
Rachelle said
February 8, 2009 @ 7:45 pm

thanks so much for the comment. in truth, i didn’t really expect anyone to read that long entry,

i agree, i think it’s just something i have to let time heal. it’s just hard for me because i know how hard it is for my bf, and not really being able to help is just dibilitating (sp?).

but thanks again for the advice, believe me i took it to heart.

HAHAHAHA.

I love Cutie’s before & after section! I always laugh sooo hard. But then, I feel bad because I really think they were like that before their makeover…

Forgot to mention that.

Genevieve said
February 9, 2009 @ 11:59 am

LOL I feel like they scrub the girl’s faces with a hot washcloth to make them ruddy and blow their hair around to make it awful THEN take the “before” pictures XD

I hope the stress ends soon/ had ended already! Winter is SUCH an annoying time for mood swings!

LOVE your tub! I don’t even have one so I’m super jeliz

WOOT Threaded comments FTW! Life is so…retarded sometimes! I hope you’ve had time to relax and take your mind off of it!

GYAH, all those before and after in J-mags are so…sometimes blatantly two different people?!! Jeebus! I really hope they weren’t that bad looking before the miraculous makeover. It makes me wish I had a bright white light in my face whenever I go out…to blur out the acne scars…XD

ughhh dentist

04/09 | 10:50 am

I have to take an hour off work to go BACK to the dentist. I really dread it. I just want to switch dentists but the work they did needs to be fixed first. I really hate them. They even try to tell me the tooth I say hurting should be a different tooth... wtf??! And I've had 3 bite readjustments already and I think I have to get another today b/c they suck at doing it! UGH. Did I even need a crown!? geezus *cries*
I'm trying to not get overtly upset over it all but I have tooth pain daily. I just want to be able to eat properly again.

(comment?)


Waiting~
