Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is coming up next month (July 8) and I usually don't really ask for anything. This time though I do have a wishlist. It's not much, I only have like 2 main items I really want.

1. DSLR

Recently, my friend Monica purchased a super stylish compact SLR called the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 (in white).

It's so retrofully beautiful! I love the simplicity of it. I've always wanted an SLR but the bulkyness and heaviness of one would often turn me off. So thank you Monica for doing the research for me :P hehehehehe! The only problem is that the white one is currently only being sold in Japan, so the menu language is in Japanese (They have it in Europe but there's a 30minute time-limit in movie mode). I guess it won't bother me too much since I'm currently majoring in Japanese ANYWAY lol. (Which reminds me, I really need to get a move on on studying!)

I looked at another option, the Olympus PEN EP1 (in white).

Pretty much the same specs as the GF1. I was about to go for this one because currently, Shirokiya is having a sale on this camera for around $560. I did my research on both cameras and I was gonna go with the PEN when I found ONE flaw...it takes such a long time focusing. UGH! That, and also the menu is harsh to the eyes (well to mine anyway). Okay so I guess that's two flaws haha. The GF1 menu is so light and airy, it's really easy to follow and reader friendly.

The thing I really like about these 2 cameras though is that they are modeled after pinhole cameras circa 1959.

I spent hours and hours watching comparison videos, reading comparison articles and just staring at the cameras side by side. The verdict? The GF1.

2. Chanel Black 2.55 Flap Bag

Yes yes yes, I've always wanted a Chanel bag. I doubt I'll get it this birthday, but I thought I'd just keep adding to any wishlist of mine. Whats there to explain? This is a classic. A must in every girl's wardrobe.

3. Casio Ex-word xd-sp6600 (pink or white)

This of course will benefit more than anything else on my wishlist. I'm not too familiar with what's a good Japanese Dictionary. I've tried a pocket dictionary (cheaper!) and it works well but the time I spend flipping through pages to find what I need is a little irritating. I've tried iPhone apps too, and it does work really well for me but it drains my battery. My friend Monica (once again) actually has one of these so I'm gonna stick with what I'm familiar since I'm a noob in this area.

4. The Beatles LP 'Rubber Soul'

I've been collecting records and I've been on the lookout for this record at my local thrift record shops but no luck. Actually, any Beatles LP other than the ones I already have is on my wishlist! I know I can just get this and others on eBay, but finding it on my own at a thrift store gives me such a satisfaction, it's exciting!

You Lucky Dog!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY LUCKY (Jack Russell x Chihuahua)♡

You've been a good girl for 6 years and counting!

I love you forever and ever ♡♡♡

Blood Type O & Zodiac Sign Cancer

Blood Type O - Type O's are outgoing, energetic and very social. They are the most flexible of the blood types. They easily start up projects but often have trouble following through because they give up easily. Creative and popular, they love to be the center of attention and appear very self confident. Type O, the most "average" blood type, is considered the best type in Japan.

[Type O - The Warrior]

Trendsetter, loyal, passionate,

self-confident, independent, ambitious, vain and jealous.

Famous O's include: Queen Elizabeth II, John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Liam & Noel Gallagher and Paul Newman. (I bet you can guess the only Famous O that strikes me is John Lennon).

Although I agree with what my blood type personality is, I think a few of the traits are wrong, but could it be because it clashes with the personality of a Cancer?

Zodiac Sign - Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

The fourth sign of the zodiac is Cancer and it is represented by the crab. Appropriately enough, Cancerians can seem easygoing, sympathetic, and patient one minute, then cranky and irritable the next. Because of this ability to make a sudden change, Cancer is the least predictable of all signs. They are ruled by the moon and have water as their element, so their mood swings can be compared to the turbulence of the shifting tides. If they feel they need to, they will retreat to their own emotional shell to keep others out. However, Cancerians can be very sympathetic to others and readily show their affection. Cancerians are also very emotional and sensitive, which may be why they are so empathetic towards others.
Cancerians need a lot of attention due to their unpredictable character, but if you give them the support they need, they will offer you their undying loyalty and love. Once you have won their trust, nothing anyone else can say will sway them against you.
----------
I'd say me being a Cancer is right on the money...and actually being Blood Type O too. As for me being self confident for Blood Type O, I'd say to a certain extent. I think that's where the Cancer personality kicks in. I love the rush and thrill of being the center of attention and doing what I want to do, but when it gets close to 'show time', I want to hide in my...shell. Even though I end up feeling that way, I do go through what I set out to do...or die trying.
The same goes for being independent. I actually wish I'd be more independent. I try to be but I feel that no one takes me serious sometimes. Especially my family. Maybe it's the curse of being the "baby" of the family.
What blood type and/or zodiac sign are you?

Double Fantasy

I'm gonna try and post items that I collect or that are in my room and write a small review on it. Many who know me, know that I'm a huge Beatles fan as well as a huge John Lennon fan. (Beatles fans: recognize the "Beatles for Sale" photo in the back?) Anyway, I've been collecting records and photo books (not only of Beatles, though majority of my record & photo book collection are Beatles.)
Let's start with John Lennon's last album before his tragic death, Double Fantasy. Infamously pictured kissing Yoko Ono. When I was young I remembered this picture, I could recognize it off the bat.
Here's the track listing:1 (Just Like) Starting Over2 Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him3 Cleanup Time4 I'm Losing You5 I'm Moving On6 Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)7 Watching The Wheels8 I'm Your Angel9 Dear Yoko10 Beautiful Boys11 Kiss Kiss Kiss12 Woman13 Hard Times Are Over
I have a lot of favorites from this LP. From John Lennon's Elvis-esque vocals & sound on "(Just Like) Starting Over" to Yoko Ono's electronica, avant-garde, orgasm-reaching "Kiss Kiss Kiss". This LP has everything. Beautiful love ballads like "Woman", cute touching songs that can make you cry like "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)", a song he wrote to his son, Sean Lennon.
It's a tragic shame that John Lennon isn't here today. I still cry about it. He was such a creative genius. There will never be no other like him. RIP.
I hope you guys check it out :)
