Music Freak Fridays! | Cobra Starship

- Sorry for not posting this actually on a friday, is just that awkwardly I've been quite busy the past two weeks, and that never happens! but lets get this going

Back in 2009 I heard this amazing radio song called 'Good Girls Go Bad' featuring Leighton Meester from a total new band I've never heard about (Cobra Starship) which I personally loved because I even downloaded their CD - Hot Mess. But sadly after a while I lost the trace of what they did cause no new song was a hit again. Now in 2012 I heard they came back while tuning into Z100 and listened to this great song called 'You Make Me Feel' featuring Sabi. Then like 2 weeks later, I heard this another song from them this time featuring Mac Miller called 'Middle Finger Up' which was also incredibly catchy! and for the cherry on top, they also launched as single a song called 'One Night' and also a version featuring My Name Is Kay (though I personally prefer the single not featuring someone version). Sincerely I loved that CS are coming back cause most of their music is incredibly catchy and so cool, I highly recommend to check out their latest videos and music. Those last songs are featured on their newest album (Night Shades) released on 2011, but lets see if they come up with more fresh music while we tune the radio and hear some more Synthpop!

Here's my favorite video of them - You Make Me Feel ft. Sabi

Throwback Thursday | Alice in Wonderland

If there's something most of all the people I know about me, is that I love 'Alice in Wonderland', but before you think "Oh look, another hipster/emo who likes Alice story.." let me stop you right there. I admit I didn't started liking the story because of the book, since when I was very little the very first contact I had with this tale was Disney's movie 'Alice in Wonderland' 1951 film, but right after that I knew I loved the idea of talking flowers, and animals and everything being nonsense and just fun and random. Few years later (I'm talking about when I turned 7 or 8 something like that) I got more interest and decided to research about this a little more, but my skills were pretty much useless so the only thing I learned about this story origin was that some man named Lewis Carroll wrote it.. cool huh? Then again a bit later in 2007 my dad came home with this incredibly beautiful book brought from UK (not originally) but printed signed by Mr. Lewis Carroll! I was so exited, (and I still am every time I take that book with my bare hands) so again with new search skills, decided to look more about Lewis, finding out that he wrote the story in the late 1800's, and did this story to call the attention of a quite young lady named Alice Liddell, who he also photographed and has been said he also fell in love with. So after that I realized some of the metaphors and the symbolism that the novel contained and liked it even more now! I placed this commentary with the title of 'Throwback Thursday' because the story has been present my entire life, either getting dressed up as Alice for school plays, Halloween parties or just for fun, to even getting different versions of the books in a large variety languages, playing video games such as 'Alice Madness Returns', or even deciding to get tattooed some of the book quotes. It really became part of me, it marked me.

"And I honestly don't understand why Alice left Wonderland."

Makeup Mondays! ~ Girl first 'real' Lipstick

To start this section (as part of the change I'm doing in myself) here's and will be some of my favorite makeup products. (Though I really don't use that much, but I'm trying) :)

Starting by saying this is literally the first lipstick I've ever had for my own, (since when I was younger my mom lend me hers). It's a Sisley Paris - Hydrating Long-Lasting Lipstick L21 that my aunt gave me as a present about 2 months ago, and I really must confess I totally love it! Not only the color, but the texture is amazing, it really doesn't gets crappy and hard like some other lipsticks do, and this though it's not for 24/7 or waterproof, it does lasts a while (about 3 hours) without retouching, and for me, that I really have big lips, that's hard to find. As you can see in the collage up there ^ hah there's only one of the both I own. The other one is the same type lipstick thought the color is the L26. There's not much difference between both colors, is just that the L26 is a bit darker than the L21 (you can tell by the numbers hah) but it basically works the same and has the same impact in me but indeed I don't use it as much as the L21.

If you want to take a look on the website from their makers or want to buy one, I'll leave some links down here:

Music Freak Fridays ~ Inna

- This section below is about music that I hear the most, though I tend to listen to every genre and style of music I'm able to. - 

For my first MUSIC FREAK FRIDAYS I wanted to pick a new artist (for me) which I for no absolute reason love. And I came with the idea of featuring Inna. Here's a quick bio of her:

"Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu, born October 16, 1986 near Mangalia, Romania, known mononymously only as Inna, is a Romanian dance-pop singer, dancer and occasional songwriter."

I heard of Inna first after her single 'Sun is Up' climbed on the top charts at beginning of the summer, and liking her style I wanted to find out  a bit more, so later I saw she had an album named "I am the Club Rocker" and decided to acquire it. After listening to some other songs like "Un Momento" featuring Juan Magan and "W.O.W" I realized Inna had a different scent than other electro pop artists.

Final Stars Count for her latest Album (according to my taste in music): ★★★/5

Throwback Thursdays ~ Pokemon

Like most kids born in the 90's, I cached up the obsession with Pokemon. Those video games, cartoons and many other types of merchandise were part of my entire childhood, and still today they're part of me; that's why I chose them to be the first ones listed on my series of 'Throwback Thursdays' from today until I get to  be 18, or in other words ending this on October 11, 2012.

One of the greatest memories that I have since I was very young (about 5 years old) is that it was a long weekend, and that meant no school, only TV for 4 days! Lucky me, I had a TV in my room with cable and everything, so also getting lucky, there was this non-stop marathon for 48 hours and no commercials, which happen to be a Pokemon Marathon in Cartoon Network, where I remember they transmitted the entire season one, a.k.a. Indigo League; and I specifically remember this moment when it was about 3 or 4 in the morning and I desperately wanted to sleep but I couldn't let my laziness win, as I was trying to stay awake to see my favorite TV show back in those days!

Now, some may say, ugh come on, it's just some stupid cartoon, franchise, whatever. But well, for me it was way more, it mean loads of things, including many lessons that I still apply to this day. So I'm happy to say I was part of the Pokemon Generation and that also, they all still are in my heart.

A New Blog Was Born!

I would like to introduce me for the people who may someday see this blog. Starting by saying that I'm 17 years old, I live in a 3th world country and I would LOVE to see some change in myself is what describes me the most.

Years ago (talking when I was about 14 or so), I had this trend fashion... of dressing without any style. Something more like this:
I was one of those girls who never minded the others talks or expectations; but one day I decided to change. I've been the same weight, height and practically person since 2009. Now 2012, and about to become an adult (18 years old omg!) I want to do something for myself and change from being:

• Weight - from 60 kg to 45 kg.
• Height - from 1.57 mts to (I hope) 1.62 mts.
• Person - from awkwardly girl with no sense of style to Girly boho/fashion chic. 

Right now, those things rule me. And about to start college, I would like to give everyone I know a new idea of who I really want to be in the future. 

Here's a picture of me about a month ago, (I don't have any recent pictures heh) for a better idea of how much I've changed in this while.

The only thing left now is continue with what I'm doing, so from today being 58 kgs and 17 years old, by today next year I hope to be 45 kgs and of course 18 years old. Wish me luck!!!
