i have survived, lol...

weekly blog, weekly blog~ \(^ヮ^)/ i missed last week, but i had a good reason!! i realized i hadn't posted a gyaru blog in a bit, and i wanted to wait until i posted one before i posted something else that wasn't gyaru, lol... trying to stay on topic!!

i hadn't meant to be writing fewer gyaru blogs, but i'm planning to get back into the swing of things as the summer continues! ^^ anyway... these past 2 weeks have been pretty eventful~

let's chat~

i got #forreal sick last week (;_;) last time i wrote, i mentioned that i was feeling a bit under the weather, but i didn't get well and truly sick until last wednesday/thursday. i felt a tickle in my throat and was like, "oh no... something got me... 〜(＞＜)〜" don't worry, it was just some more allergies, but woof... i haven't gotten anything close to sick until now in almost a year, thanks to me becoming a certified supplement girlie, but they failed me this time!! last friday, i felt actually dreadful... _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):_ i went back to being the weakest link, and i do NOT recommend it, lol... i'm still coughing some and a bit congested, but today i feel the best i have in a whole week~ i think i'm finally free! ^^

aside from that, here's another fish tank update: i ran into a few problems, i think my cycle ended up stalling!! i'm still trying to figure out how to solve the problems, but overall, things aren't too bad! i was hoping to be cycled and get some fish last time i wrote, but alas... hopefully it won't be much longer once i do some more research and address the issues~

i hope everyone had a good 4th of july! i'm everyone was in the same boat as me in feeling like there wasn't actually anything to celebrate or be patriotic about, lol (-_-)... but it was still a good excuse to hang out with my family and eat some good food! i got to see my baby nephew for the first time in a while, and i had so much fun~ not to brag, but i think i might be one of his favorite people, and i always love seeing him!! he'll be 9 months in a couple days, which, oh my god, mind-blowing... i just love him to pieces!! so even if the 4th of july is the ultimate bad vibes holiday, i still had a good time~

it hasn't been all play and no work, though! my mom started on one of her endless home improvement projects and tackled removing the wallpaper in the dining room... it was the worst ( ` ω ´ )!! our house is really old, so the wallpaper was so outdated and needed to go, but ugh. i don't wish working with a wallpaper steamer upon anybody. we got it all off yesterday, so now it's onto painting... which might be a bit tricky, seeing as our walls are plaster, and painting plaster should be reserved for the worst of the worst. i've been having to constantly remind myself of how nice it'll all look when it's done to keep from going insane, lol...

beyond the gruelling home improvement and getting over the ick, i've been having fun with a few smaller things~ i've been watching a ton of doll customization videos on youtube, as well as some general crafty/diy videos, and it's been a lot of fun! i wanna get back into some more artistic hobbies, especially drawing and making things, since i haven't done a lot of that in a while! it's definitely a good outlet for me~ ( ´ ω ` ) i'm also debating dyeing my hair purple!! i've had red for a few months now, since i dyed my hair red on a whim like 2 years ago and was dying to go back to it, but i think i wanna do purple now? i also wanna have a break from having oily hair, lol ;P what do y'all think, though? should i give purple hair a shot? i also really wanna try out some new gyaru make techniques, since i haven't worn make in quite a while... it makes me so sad, but my skin was having a proper meltdown, so i wanted to give it a break... but i'm just dying to do some make!! i'll be sure to post some photos~ (^人^)

i think that's all i have for now~ i'm gonna try my best to actually write every week from now on, but we'll see ^^;;; let's chat again soon~ (*^^*)♡
