The Perfect x Imperfection

by Kiyoko Yasuda


Another song translation!!
*applause*
I'm open for song requests so feel free to comment
and I'll try to translate that song for my next post!!
\(^0^)/


I heard this song on my ipod while I was heading to work and I thought...
HOLY CRAP THIS SONG HAS AWESOME LYRICS!!!
O_________________O
So I just had to translate this song!!!


This song is actually a really old song!! From 2008!!
(I was still a senior in High School...)
*feels old*


This song is a collaboration between the actress Shibasaki Koh 
and singer/song-writer/actor (super talented) Fukuyama Masaharu!

There's actually two versions, one where Shibasaki Koh sings (as KOH+) and Fukuyama Masaharu.

I think that Fukuyama Masaharu is an amazing song writer.
He's able to understand how girls feel... and it matches his soft/gentle voice so well!!!! 
(My friend Yuri-chan is a super super super huge fan of him >_<)


...


KOH+ 「最愛」

KOH+ "The Greatest Love"



...  


If you would like to listen to the song....

Here is KOH+'s version 

So yesterday was a super relax CHILL day

The awesome chef Charlene
(who was also not feeling well... hope she gets better soon >_<)
decided to cook...

PITAN TOFU!!!
*applause*

I LOVE PITAN TOFU!!!

For those of you who dont know what pitan or 'century egg' is...
it's those funky looking black eggs!
*searches on google*

THIS!!!
Image from: http://ediblyasian.info/recipes/singaporean-century-egg-and-minced-pork-congee-
Seen it before?

So the pitan tofu we made had crab sticks as a base, tofu, pitan sauce (really easy to make), crab stick slices, minched pitan white...(or maybe its black. lol), tobiko, and sakura ebi (the tiny tiny prawns)

The finished work?
TADAH~!!!
(from my instagram lol)

If anyone's interested in how to make this...
I can share the recipe/tutorial on how to make this!!
hehe


...


I'm a huge instagram addict....
If you want to see what I'm doing everyday check out my instagram!!!
If you don't have instagram you can look at my pics on webstagram too!!! (^0^)

Remember my Bella Box Spring Spree I went to awhile back?
Well I've been using the products that I've purchased and...
IT'S TIME FOR A REVIEW!!!
*applause*

So I'll be starting off with Dirty Work's Pore-Fect Face Scrub!


Just a short introduction about Dirty Work's!
Dirty Work's is a brand of various bath, facial, and make-up products
that was exclusively made for Sainsbury's. 

...

So here's my review on their product!!!!
ENJOY!

...

*back of the product!*
Hello Hello!
Oh wait. GOOD EVENING!

IT'S FRIDAAAAAY
oh wait it WAS Friday!

I finished an assignment that was due today.
SO!! I decided to reward myself a little with a mini-haul!!
First I stopped by Watson to restock on my facial mask!
Then I went to H&M!!!!  
My reward!!!
Yesterday I decided to check the mailbox to see if I got any mail
then I stumbled across this parcel!!!
I was like ..."eh?"
Then when I looked at who sent it...
IT WAS FROM STARASIA!!
They're the distributors of the Korean Makeup CLIO!

So a while back, I won their Gelpresso contest on their facebook page.
AND NOW IT'S HERE!!
*happy dance*

Why...hello there!

Awww... they even gave me a letter...
So sweet!!! 


...

So let me give you a brief overview of this product...
Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner is like a love child between
gel eye liner and a pencil eye liner!
So you get the best of two eyeliner worlds!!!
It glides on your eyes like a gel liner
BUT in a convenient shape of a pencil liner!!

I'm a huge fan of gel eyeliners but...
sometimes I tend to lose my brushes (fail..)
So I find this gelpresso an awesome alternative!!!  

I got the star purple and metalic silver!!!!!

Hello my new babies!!!!!

This is what it looks like~



I'm a huge sucker for music...
especially songs with really awesomeness lyrics!!!!
I love translating too (part of my job)
So...I decided to use my translating skills to translate some of my favorite songs!!

These translations are done by me so if you would like to repost...
Please don't forget about me!!! >_<
*cough cough* that mean's I want some sort of credit *cough cough*

Sometimes I may post some songs that I'm in love with (mostly K-POP... I LOVE K-POP!!)
Of course I have no idea how to read or speak Korean...so I'll be posting lyrics done by other people
If not I'll just listen to the song and be like...
o_O?
"wah?"

The first song that I'll be sharing with you is a sad love song by... JUJU!
I love her voice and a lot of her songs are AWESOMENESS!! 
I posted this on my tumblr before but I decided to be more active on my blog so...REPOST TIME!!! 

...

JUJU 「さよならの代わりに」
JUJU "Instead of Saying Goodbye"

...


If you would like to listen to the song... click here
enjoy!!

...



もう 言わなくていいよ これ以上
You don’t have to say anything anymore.
お互い苦しいだけ 分かっているから
I know that it’s just painful for both of us


ねえ そんな表情(かお)するの 初めて知ったよ
Hey, I didn’t know that you made that kind of expression
どんな時も あなただけ 見て来たはずなのに
Even though I was only looking at you
ふたりで いるのに 淋しいね
Even though we were together, it was lonely, wasn’t it?
隣にいても 届かない 想いがあるなら
Even though we were next to each other,
there was this feeling that couldn't reach to you.

最後の嘘は やさしい嘘がいい
I want the last lie to be a gentle lie
いつもみたいに 微笑って
Please laugh for me like you always do
平気なふりで 出逢った頃のような
Please act like everything’s all right, just like the first time we met
笑顔のまま
With a smile

つないだ手放すから さよならの代わりに
I’ll let go of your hand, instead of saying goodbye
一度だけ抱きしめて さよならの代わりに
Embrace me one more time, instead of saying goodbye

そう 幸せな瞬間(とき)が 多いほど
Yes, the more happier moments we spent together
思い出はこの胸で 深い傷になる
The memories leave a deeper scar in my chest

ねえ こんなに確かに 感じるぬくもり
Hey, even though I can feel this sense of warmth
触れることさえ できないね もう明日になれば
When tomorrow comes, I’ll no longer be able to touch you
どうして 心は 離れるの?
Why are our hearts growing further apart?
答えが欲しい わけじゃない 二度と会えないなら
It’s not that I want an answer, since we’ll never meet again
最後のキスは かなしいキスでいい
It’s all right if our last kiss is a sad kiss
言葉なんて いらない
I don’t need any words
こんなに愛して そして愛された
I loved you so much, and you loved me so much
それだけでいい
That’s all I need

そんなに 切ない 瞳で
With those eyes full of sorrow
迷わせないで 見つめないで
Please don’t make me feel lost, Please don’t look at me
涙が あふれそう
Tears are about to come out

Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye…Don’t say
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye…Don’t say
Goodbye Goodbye…言わないで
Goodbye Goodbye…Don’t say
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye…まだ
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye… not yet
あと少し 今だけは
Just a little longer, for now

最後の嘘は やさしい嘘がいい
I want the last lie to be a gentle lie
いつもみたいに 微笑って
Please laugh for me like you always do
平気なふりで 出逢った頃のような
Please act like everything’s all right, just like the first time we met
笑顔のまま
With a smile


つないだ手放すから さよならの代わりに
I’ll let go of your hand, instead of saying goodbye
一度だけ抱きしめて さよならの代わりに
Embrace me one more time, instead of saying goodbye

There was an invite-only event at lush on swanston street!!!
*happy dance*
Not many people know this but I fell in love with lush in Japan almost 5 years ago when I was still in highschool!
So the night's theme was 'retro' and sadly I cannot pull off a retro look *sadface*
but my camera had a retro mode so hope my camera makes up for my outfit's lack of retroness!!



the place where the magic happens!
♬♩♫♪☻(●´∀`●)☺♪♫♩♬

..but we still had time before the opening of the party so tammy and I decided to go pretty ourselves up!
So here comes the camwhore pics!!!
We lookin' gooooood (○゚ε^○)
Tammy's outfit!  (☆▽☆)
I really liked her bracelet cuz it had the feline theme!!
(^・x・^)
Leopard print bangles with a cat ears bangle!! Meow~!
I wanted to wear heels but my leg was still recovering...but i love Birkenstock!!
(o≧▽゚)o
@ the party!!! look at all the people~!!
Probably my favourite section…the bath cocktails!!!
It was so cool cuz they showed us how to make a “cocktail” using chunks of different bathbombs/bubble bars!

Yeah…this is so much better than chemistry class
The lovely cocktail mixer of the day (●^д^●)
Holding the ‘caramello’ *tammy loooooved that one*
We talked to her riiiiight before the shop was gonna close so it could be prettified but we had a good chat about the henna hairdye!


check out all their bath products~! i wish i had a bath tub....(´∩`。) *sniff*
I got the saving face done and….wow the moment my current facial products finish I am grabbing the things I didn’t get!!!
I got the cleanser which is call ‘herbalism’ and it makes my skin soooooo smooth!!
I also got the facial mask which is called ‘love lettuce’ and here are the other products that I super duper recommend and I’ll be getting it in a few weeks time!
The vanishing cream…it felt sooo light on my skin and it’s really good for the t-zone area and oily skin…and im supposedly a combination skin but my pimples likes to annoy me at times so I think this product will help me out a lot!!
I really recommend getting this product and putting it in your fridge so when you spray it…IT FEELS SOOOO REFRESHING!
I just imagined spraying it on a uber hot day..and I saw heaven…oh yea~h

Also in every party you need some drinks!
But at lush they had the cutest mocktails!!
ヾ(*⌒∇⌒)八(⌒∇⌒*)ツ
Our awesome bartender!  (♥◕∀◕)
The drinks were soo yummy!! It must have been hard serving drinks for the whole night…
Thank you so much!! ☆(>ω・) ♪
(Also her tattoos are the coolest things in the world!! My camera couldn’t catch it but she has ALL the Disney princesses in pin-up girl style!! She said she’ll be coloring it in soon so tammy and I are TOTALLY gonna go visit her at the shop to see how awesome the final look is!!!)
Our entertainment of the night started off with some sexy burlesque dancers~!
If I had their body I totally would have jumped in to join lawlz    └|・ω・|┐♪
The beautiful and super sweet Seren (aka sparkes) sang a song as one of the entertainment of the night!
(♪≧□≦♪)

Tammy and I were talking to her riiiiight when we were about to leave but she introduced me to the sexiest soap ‘godmother’ and it was the similar smell to the first lush product I bought! (the comforter)
Near the end of the party….it was cake time!! (♥∀♥)
I didn’t even notice how long it’s been since the party started!! Time really flies when you’re having fun!

This is how you eat a cake...
WITH YOUR MOUTH!!!
It was sooo good though…when I was paying for my stuff tammy was holding my cake…(with her mouth)

It was probably one of the best ways to start our academic year by getting some awesome relaxing products to battle against the stress = school
We also made new friends at the shop and we’re totally gonna continue visiting more often! ♥(>ω・)ノ

Here's also a photo that was taken at the shop by props goes to Deanna!
thank you!




Thank You so much for the invitation Lush!!!!
