`Akane's Farewell Mini Meet-up
On Friday June 3, 2011 I went to a mini lolita meet-up to say farewell to Akane, a fellow lolita from Spain. Akane had visited from Spain to attend Anime North but unfortunately for me, I only got to talk to her for a few minutes before she had to go home so I had to make sure I attended this meet up to wish her farewell.
I first met up with everyone at Pacific Mall for some shopping but since I came late, they had already taken purikura pictures without me. After some shopping, people wanted to take pictures of the group because of the beautiful coordinates everyone was wearing but the security guard threaten to kick us out if we took any pictures inside the mall. I wasn't actually there to see this happen but a lot of the girls told me what he said. *sigh* Honestly, since this security guy was new, he was probably going on a power trip because I've hosted numberous meets at Pacific Mall & taken a lot of pictures without any complaints.
Anywho, after Pacific Mall, the group decided to head to Market Village [a small complex beside Pacific Mall] to have some dinner and shop. There wasn't much variety at Market Village so I just ate a very plain dish - shanghai noodles & soy milk. The clerk I bought food from was very kind and complimented us by saying that we were all pretty in Cantonese which I understood. Once we finished eating, we headed to a store called 'Smart Maple' to buy some cute Hello Kitty stuff where I was greeted again by 3 girls also complimenting about us. ^__^ During this encounter, I felt really happy to know that a lot of people enjoyed our take on Japanese fashion which was a new experience to Akane as well since she told us that she hardly goes out in lolita with a group.
After Smart Maple, we headed to 'One's,' another store that sold a bunch of Japanese things. There, I bought a cardholder because my ghetto dollar store one ripped. I got a Twin Stars one because it was the one I found the cutest and pink! When I showed Akane, she also expressed that she wanted one but had no money so I decided to get another one [she picked the same as mine's] and give it to her as a gift. She was so kind and gracious that she didn't want to take it, but after 5 minutes of persistance she then accepted my gift. Travelling to another country by yourself can be scary at times and so I felt like I had to be a really good host and make this trip memorable for her which I succeeded since she was really happy with it. ^___^
I did manage to take a lot of photos with the group but again... if they look blurry I apologize in advance for that. If you want to know which person is me, I am the girl with blonde hair wearing the Angelic Pretty hime-inspi red halter dress. I tried my best to do gyaru make-up but unfortunately I am still not good at it. I need to learn how to do better eye make-up and contouring. Anyways if you're wondering what make-up products I used, it was my Anna Sui orange blush [to give me a more modern princess look], my Tarina Sparkle Eye Palette [for the gyaru eye make-up look] and of course my Dolly Wink lashes -- you can't look like a cute princess without big lashes. Lol~! I also teased my hair after I curled it to give it more volumn but by the end of the day, my hair just fell flat as you can see in the photos. As for Akane, she was the lolita with the Angelic Pretty red polkdot cutsew and yellow sweet jam skirt. I managed to take a couple shots with her so I hope you enjoy them. ^___^
When we finished taking group pictures, we all opted to go to karaoke to sing our hearts out. Akane was very talented with her Japanese songs as she remembered all of her lyrics. One of the songs I really remembered her singing was 'Dear J - Tomomi Itano' because her accent and voice was soo cute~! I wish we could go karaoke a lot together but it's too bad she doesn't live here. >__<; If Akane was an aspiring J-pop idol I would definately support her because her personality is really sweet and her voice is soo natural and cute! Ahhh~!!! fangirl syndrome... *fast forward* A lot of the girls had fun and despite the owner giving me the wrong total amount for the room cost, we all figured it out smoothly. At the end of our fun, the manager took a picture of the group so we can be on their wall of fame but we didn't get to keep one because it would have costed extra for that, which is stupid since we're not charging them to TAKE OUR PICTURE for their wall. Ughh...
This was how the night basically ended and we departed ways. Thanks for reading and remember to sign my "guestbook" which is located on the top menu.
Love,
Aya
