A BIT expensive!?

The word "Expensive" has been driven to completely new heights...

Most expensive hair cut: 1,925 pounds

It doesn't even look THAT good.. :p

Most expensive house: 70 million pounds

In England the most expensive house can be found. In more specifics, you can find it in Updown Court in Windlesham, north Surrey. It contains 103 rooms, 58 acres, a private helipad, five swimming pools, and it is a mansion that any girl would just love to dream of.

Most expensive jeans: Over $ 4,000

This jeans doesn't even look that special, and still you have to pay so much more for this pair compared to a normal pair of jeans... waste of money!?!

Most expensive pen: $265,000


A company from Switzerland named "Caran d'Ache" made 'La Modernista Diamonds' a pen that was sold in Harrods, London, for $265,000. The pen was created as a memory of the famous architect Antonio Gaudi, the rhodium-coated solid silver pen has an 18-karat gold pen point and is pave-set with 5,072 diamonds and 96 half-cut rubies.
Every girl's dream... ^^

Most expensive phone: 28, 000 pounds

Peter Aloisson is the creator of the most expensive phone ever. It costs more than a BMW 3-series convertible, or a Jaguar S-Type. A Motorola, due to it's cover in 1200 diamonds and that is featuring a keyboard full of 18-carat gold. No wonder the phone costs 28, 000 pound sterling....

Most expensive shoes: 1 million pounds


The most expensive pair of shoes in the entire world were on sale at Harrods in London. The shoes have been inspired by the ruby colored slippers from The Wizard of Oz, and these shoes were woven from platinum thread and set up with the enormous amount of 642 rubies! Name on single girl who wouldn't love to have this pair of shoes!?

Photo Manipulation

Hey!
I just read another blog that was writing about "Photo Manipulation" and with the text there were some amazing photos. I got really intrigued and wanted to find out more about it, and I am now gonna share some photos that are great examples of Photo Manipulation.

First of all; what is Photo Manipulation?

Photo manipulation is the application of image editing techniques to photographs in order to create an illusion or deception (in contrast to mere enhancement or correction), through analog or digital means. Its uses, cultural impact, and ethical concerns have made it a subject of interest beyond the technical process and skills involved.
Source: Wikipedia

Photo Manipulation can be done using photo editing software programs such as Photoshop, but it is extremely hard to
create a realistic Photo Manipulation. Still, with some practice, it is possible.

This flower one is a simple version of Photo Manipulation, yet it looks very pretty, don't you think?

Washing money...?

This one looks so real, doesn't it?

I found this one a bit scary...

You like it?
Well get inspired and make your own one. Good Luck! :)

Creative Advert


Creating a unique and intriguing advert is extremely hard. I know it myself since me and my class just did an advertising project in English. Anyway, I really enjoy watching these incredibly creative adverts that just get stuck on your mind, and I am really impressed by the people who comes up with all the ideas. I just found an advertisement from the post station, and it really speaks to me.


The slogan is "If you really want to touch someone, send them a letter", and the photo above is so unique. Doesn't this advert kind of tempt you to send a long love letter to your love? Well, it does to me.

Either way, I'll break your heart someday


Today the grade five had their exhibition, and almost all of the groups did very well to be so young. I wasn't here in grade five so I never got to do the exhibition, but it seems like a lot of fun in my opinion. Anyhow, I am currently in love with an amazing rock band called Augustana. They aren't a very new band, and I have listened to almost all of their songs over and over again, but yet I just can't get tired of any off them. All of the lyrics are really memorable, and I actually find meaning in them. Also, there isn't one single song that they have done, which I don't like. Still, some of my favorites are "Hey Now", "Sweet and Low", "I still ain't over you", and "Either way I'll break your heart someday". Today I will show you the last one, but unfortunately I couldn't find a music video for it.. -.-
Just listen to the lyric, ok?

"Either way, I'll break your heart someday" by Augustana



I know that lyrics have different meanings to all of us, but the way I understood these ones is that it is about a boy who has to go away from his girlfriend. He has two options; breaking up with her before leaving, or going away from her risking that the love will go away. Anyhow, he will hurt her. I don't know if that is what Augustana meant when they wrote the song, but at least that is how I understand it. What do you think?

Anyway.. Have a good day!

New Moon

Hello! It's Meiji! This days, I have to wear singlets at home and turn air conditioner on, or else I get too sweaty! I guess, this is a sign of summer coming up! ✭☆✭ Do you have a plan for this summer break? This is just my idea, I think going to beaches or traveling other countries over this summer with your friends/ family would be nice! Today, I have a new movie to introduce you! It's twilight's second movie, 'New Moon'!
I personally enjoyed the twilight saga sooo much, and loved the movie of it. So, I am looking forward to watch the second movie of twilight! This is twilight's story line (for people who didn't watch it yet): TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands - and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?
→Story Line From: http://cinema.theiapolis.com/movie-2RPU/twilight/storyline.html

I would like to recommend you to watch or read twilight before watching New Moon! This is the official trailer for 'New Moon'. Hope you enjoy!

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Helloo.. :)

Yesterday I went to see "Confessions of a shopaholic" - a movie I have wanted to see for so long! The movie is based by the three first books in the series, but many of the book's happenings doesn't appear in the movie. Anyway, the main character is called Becky Bloomwood, and is played by hilarious Isla Fisher. Isla Fisher really enhanced Becky's already awesome character, and she made me laugh so many times. Briefly, the movie includes a lot of fun scenes, but also some romance. It is a great, girly movie, and it is definitely worth seeing. However, I found the books more enjoyable, and after reading the books, the movie wasn't as good as it would have been before reading the books. The reason why is because so many scenes from the books were cut in the movie, and some scenes were even added. Therefore people who enjoyed the movie would probably think that books are even better, than thinking that movie wasn't as good as the books... Get my point? :P
Finally; if you enjoy fashion, then you will get very inspired by Becky's huge wardrobe. I wouldn't mind having a wardrobe even the size of one-fifth of hers.

Women's Generation

Hello~ XD
I didn't get to upload this blog for a while... :( Well, today, I have a MV to show you! This song is called 'Women
s Generation'. I really like the lyric of this song because it's about 'No Sexists' & 'Strong Women'. :P This song is sang by three different groups, Seeya, T-ara, and Davichi. This isn't their first time singing together though. (excluding T-ara) My favorite girl band between those three is Davichi, of course. XD Hope you enjoy this MV, and see ya~ ♥♥♥
