So many birthdays... AGAIN!

I haven't updated in a while... and I don't actually have anything important to tell, so here you go! Have a few pictures and short stories about my past week and a half! x)

As some of you might know in addition to parapara, I dance in our Uni's Dance Society (= everything random that our captains decide to make us do, usually hiphop-ish), so last Friday we had out team photos taken.
So I woke up earlier than usually to straighten my hair and put some make up on, only to turn up looking like this:

I HAD eyelashes on, but I removed them when I got back home and before I took the photo :''D I realised after that, that I should've kept them on for a bit longer!
Anyhow, tools of trade that, quite frankly, look the same as always xD

♥ Gosh - pressed powder (02 So Natural)
♥ Lumene Natural Code Trio Eyeshadow (2 Beauty, I think...)
♥ M.A.C Fluidline Gel Eyeliner (Blacktrack, duh)
♥ Wet 'n' Wild eyeliner (black)
♥ M.A.C Mascara (Studio Fix Lash, black)
♥ M.A.C's eyelashes (as NOT seen in picture!)
♥ Lumene Arctic Definition Mineral Eyebrow Pencil (2 Grey Brown)
♥ M.A.C lipstick (Creme Cup)

Eye make up without the lashes.
A'yup. Looks like I used '2 Beauty' and all of its colours x)




The official group photo turned out like this:

We also took an unofficial, fun photo, but I am not going to post it here x)

Also, hail the power of photoshop. I'll tell you a secret... I did NOT have a Saints-hoodie in the picture :D
But that's all for Friday the 18th.

Btw, I bought a new top some time ago... I guess it was the same Friday, haha!

Crappy picture of my awesome blue leopard top! (£9.99 TK Maxx)

Back to business!

This Wednesday our v. captain/coach Chelsea was celebrating her birthday. Now, Wednesdays are usually social nights, meaning that different Uni societies get dressed up with different themes and go out being unnecessarily noisy and silly. That's the reason why Chelsea took over this week's social and made it her birthday social, theme: black cats and grey mice.
Of course she divided us so, that 1st and 2nd years were mice and 3rd years and commitee members were cats.

I had grey clothes so I just had to make some ears:

Excuse my super retarded face! Photo taken with flash and. I. hate. flash! xD

But you can see my awesome ears... the other is attached pretty poorly to my head.
I made them with grey and pink felt.
First I cut a piece of paper to see if it was the right size and shape. Then I cut the actual pieces of felt and sewed them together by hand. Quick and easy and everyone seemed to love my ears :3



My coursemate Cate also celebrated her birthday then, but with another theme, so it was pretty funny to go over, dressed as a mouse, when everyone else was either a goth or a chav :''D

Of course I headed to town while wearing my mouse costume because that's how we roll during socials! Luckily I went there with few Saints, so we didn't look that weird. Beside, the bus driver probably found it amusing to have three mice, two cats, a wrestler with pink thights and other random... characters in his vehicle.

My bff Ross had a birthday on Wednesday (like ACTUAL birthday. He was the only one of the three who actually had his birthday that day xD) so he was a bit weirded out when he saw me with the ears and whiskers :D
It took some explaining to make him realise that I was there also for the social and even after that he always made this weird face when he re-realised my ears xD

I ended up removing my ears earlier than I wanted to because everyone kept messing with them.

And I guess that's pretty much all of it.
Now TBBT o/

A Sunday in the life of Sarumi... on a tuesday!!! :D

As I said in the last post, here's my "one day in a life of"-post. Late, I know, but you'll soon understand why.

Warning! A hevy load of pictures ahead! Clicking them might make them grow in size!

So Sunday is usually my laundry day.
In St. John's campus, where I live, the laundry is pretty expensive so I always go over to my friends' place in city centre to do my laundry... for free.
Aaaanyway, my Sunday mornings start with...

me waking up. This time I woke up around 9.30.

After getting up I usually take a shower. Unless I've already showered the evening/night before.
(The shampoo bottles here are HUGE!)


After shower I smear myself with lotion. Or in this case, with emolient cream x)

Face, hands and feet. Those usually dry the most, so it's good to smear them often.
Especially face if you're planning to put some make up on.



The cream takes some time to "absorb" into the body, so meanwhile I like to make my bed. I hide my nightshirt under my pillows.




Then I try to decide what to wear... NOT easy.
I usually turn to Ranzuki for help if it gets way too hard...




Then the problem seems to be tights. Which ones to wear!?!

I can tell you, this Sunday I went for...

the purple ones!

I get very bored if I don't listen to music while dressing and putting make up on.
Honestly, I just get so blank and... monotone if I dress and make up in silence when I have time!


Sooo... I switch the plug on and then my lovely laptop, Daniel.


When Daniel's all up I execute Winamp
and start listening to whatever music Daniel and Winnie decide to play.

Usually I have to skip every other song, because I just want to listen to SOMETHING, but I don't really know what xD

Make up time!

The tools I used this time. Sorry, forgot the M.A.C's mascara and lipstick from the picture!

Lot's of Lumene and M.A.C. again :D
There's also Rimmel's white eyeshadow and Wet n' Wild's black eyeliner.

Make up done!
I apologise again, I forgot to take pictures of the process since I was trying to hurry up.

On to the hair!


Which turned out like this!
I have my extensions on and then all of it put up with a hair clip I bought from Japan 3 years ago :'D

My clip-on extensions are a bit lighter than my own hair, so I always try to fix my hair in a way that it's harder to realise it's not my own hair x)

Outfit for the day~

That happened to be purple tights from Seppälä, Rosebullet's waist skirt (from SpiritStore) and grey, long-sleeved shirt from GinaTricot.
Simple but cute, if you ask me :3
I also wore one of my favourite trainers, they go together so well with the skirt ♥

Now on with the story we go! This was, and still is, the story about a Sunday in my life xD
After I was ready, I looked outside my window...


to see it was raining. Again.

That's pretty much how it goes around here and I'm getting used to it :D


So I grabbed my umbrella and headed to Students' Union's bus stop to check if there was a bus coming in the near future.

Luckily enough my mp3 told me that the time was about 11.46 and the timetable said "There should be a bus 11.46.".
So I waited.
Comfortably under my fancy umbrella.

Waiting for the bus in the rain makes me go DERP.

And the bus comes!
Yay!

There were two Chinese girls out, waiting for the bus with me. They must've thought I was weird since I was hanging out with a laptop bag, Bank-bag full of something, holding an umbrella and taking pictures of random things and myself x)


The bus tickets here are so kind x3


Bus journeys are usually a bit boring so took a bunch of needless pictures... -_-'
I'll share a few of them with you anyway.

Like this one where I'm all constipatedly excited about my little trip that I do every Sunday.


I had so much stuff with me xD I usually leave Daniel at home, but this time I made an exception.






Bored.


This is why I usually walk...





ALMOST THERE!

(I think it takes about 15 minutes for the bus to get from campus to the town)





There!
Yes, the bus ends up infront of the biggest (?) nightclub in Worcester :D


Then I have to walk... 'cause frankly enough, my friends' DON'T live in Tramps :D

Follow the arrows!



Walk some more and still follow the arrows!

And then I finally arrive at the Sansome Halls! To get in, I have to press the buzzer.

Of course the day I have some heavy-ish load with me, the elevators out of order, thanks to a power cut that happened 2-3 DAYS before :D


So I walked upstairs and was, luckily, greeted by a smiling Monica who kindly opened the door for me ♥

(Random fact: I've now posted 30 pictures in this blogpost and I've been writing this for over an hour!)

So I dropped my stuff, put some teatowels and potholders in the washing machine, chatted with the guys and then headed out to buy some breakfast.


Breakfast from Co-op. I also bought something else, but that I'll reveal a bit later x)



Oh! Did I tell you what the kitchen looked like when I arrived?

No I didn't, but don't worry! I took a picture!

Yeah.

This of course makes me sad.
But I started on my breakfast anyway.


So I pulled out all that stuff I bought from Co-op. And Superdrug and Boots x)
Detergent, cosmetics and breakfast!






OMNOMNOMNOM.

Breakfast at 2 o'clock 'cause that's how I roll.


I also played some Super Mario Bros. 3,
'cause I also roll like that!

Do not approve of the pile of dishes.


So I worked my magic and soon the pile was gone!



With nothing to do, while waiting for my laundry to wash and dry I:


Polished my nails...





Watched Sam cooking...





Watched telly...

but hey! Baftas' red carpet was on and later in the evening they'd have the awards on BBC one!!!
We decided to watch them but we still had two hours to go...


So I finished my laundry...




We watched some TV (more)...

We even played some games on our laptops...

We went to Tesco to get some food and laugh at the huge crisp bags.
We got food from McDonald's but I forgot to take a picture in there. Damn.

While in McDonald's, we realised that it was already about 9 o'clock so we hurried back to the flat and started watching Baftas immediately...

I, of course, forgot to take pictures. Again xDDD

After Baftas we played...

Mario Kart on Wii!

Everyone wanted to play with Yoshi, but in the end the other Sam got him so I decided to go, against all my nature, with Peach :'D
Strangely enough, I won a few times even though it was my first time playing Mario Kart Wii and with a character riding a bike!

We finished playing around 2. SOMETHING... yes, in the night. So it was Monday already.

After checking I had everything packed and with me we headed out.


We, as in Monica and me. She usually walks me back halfway (= Sabrina Bridge) and if we get one of the guys to come with us, they might walk me walk all the way back to St. John's (takes about 25-30 minutes).



It was nearly 3 o'clock in the night when we got to Sabrina Bridge so I pretended to be a swan whisperer.

They actually answered me a few times.
Probably tried to tell me to "F*ck off!" :D


Nevertheless, it made me happy and so I continued my journey back home.



I must've arrived at home around 3.15, so you can guess how tired I was.

You can't? Well, let me show you:

THIS tired.

I just flopped down on my bed... got up a few minutes later to remove my hair and make up and to change into my nightshirt... just to flop down on the bed again.

So, how do you like my Sunday!? xD

I wanted to post this already on Monday, but I had a LOOONG morning... and when I woke up I just couldn't be assed to do anything before leaving to Leicester to see Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Of course we got back from there so late, that I headed straight to bed.
Today (I'll just pretend it's still Tuesday) I had two lectures and dance (who knew even the smallest amount of "ballet" would be so hard ;__;) so... that's why I'm posting this LATE.

And NOW... I'm going to ceremoniously... ceremonially (?) flop on my bed and FALL ASLEEP. Good night!
