Finally cut my hair! Its not the bob I was contemplating but I'm very happy with it. The beauty academy by my house gives the best $10 haircuts ever. The students are nice also! I'm so exhausted today. Off to take a nap then wake up to exercise and watch the finale of Top Chef. Go Kevin! If Kevin doesn't win I want Brian to win.

Oh Gaga how I would love to raid your wardrobe. She motivates me to go holiday shopping...

It was great seeing everybody!

I'm tired but I should exercise before bed...

To cheer myself up today I made bread pudding with blueberries. I used this recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/the-best-of/uncommonly-good-bread-pudding-recipe/index.html
Instead of texas toast I used five slices of whole wheat bread and one honey wheat bagel. The bagel added a nice texture to the pudding. I also only used one cup of brown sugar instead of a cup and a half of sugar. The pudding came out great except it was a bit too buttery. Next time I'll use only four ounces of butter instead of the six that the recipe calls for. I added cinnamon, whipped cream, and fresh blueberries to garnish.

Another option for wedding wear is lolita. In particular I like Juliette et Justine designs as a possibility: http://juliette-et-justine.com/
Dresses run around $300. With shipping and shopping service fee it would be about $400. I apologize to my friend's list for my endless wedding dress related posts. Focusing on my future wedding helps me to keep my mind off of more depressing issues.

I'm going to exercise and watch Top Chef. I hope tomorrow turns out okay...

I realized I liked the Anne Namba designs so much because they remind me of Gouk. But I really don't want to spend $3,000 on one dress :P. So I got to thinking that maybe I could find a dress under the H. Naoto umbrella that was white and that could pass for a pretty Summer wedding dress. I think I'll recheck the site every few weeks in case I find the perfect one! All of the dresses on the site are $300 or less. I think the designs are avant-garde enough to fit my personality but are also nice enough to work as casual Summer wedding wear. Shopping site: http://www.s-inc.ws/

I'm sure if I keep an eye out something formal enough will pop up on the site <3. If all goes well I can get a wedding dress and an outfit for the reception for under $600. Much better than the $1,500 for one Betsey gown or $3,000 for an Anne Namba.

I felt like eating french toast so I whipped up some strawberry and chocolate stuffed french toast this morning. So easy and yummy! I modified this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chocolate-and-strawberry-stuffed-french-toast-recipe/index.html


I also found the perfect bedroom slippers at Sanrio last night. Now my nighttime winter wardrobe is complete!

I really want a Betsey Johnson wedding dress. But if that doesn't work out I might consider getting a custom made Anne Namba kimono-inspired wedding dress. Dresses are made to order and are reconstructed from vintage kimonos and obis from Japan. Prices range from about 1,500 to 3,000 dollars. Her store is located in Manoa close to where I live. I discovered her designs an hour or so ago while flipping through Hawaii Bride magazine. Her look appeals to the Gouk and Qutie Frash lover in me!

For our one year we went out to dinner at Stage restaurant where Ku'i popped the question. He hid the ring in a little Hello Kitty ceramic cake container. I won't lie, I was hoping that was what I was gonna get for my birthday/anniversary but I didn't think it would happen so soon :). When he asked I had bread in my mouth so as I said yes I was grinning and chewed up bread was sticking out between my teeth. Classy!

Thanks again for all the congratulations, love you guys!

Thinking about going to the hairdressers within the next few days and getting this bob. I haven't had a bob in about a decade. Thoughts?

For my birthday my family and Ku'i went to 12th Avenue Grill for dinner.

Anyone planning on seeing Utada Hikaru at Pipeline Cafe on January 15?
