It was difficult for me to find pictorial evidence of our dressing during our 2006 Tokyo trip (I've lost the pictures in my old laptop), but I managed to dig up a few pictures from my blog archives.
HAHAHAHHA look at how fat Brother Hoe was.
Generally my sisters and I take certain pride in dressing up, but during that trip, it was as if our fashion sense flew out of the window!
If you don't believe me, check this out:
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH this is Ting's Princess Jasmine headband from Tokyo Disneyland, HAHAHAHHAHAHHAH.
Ahem.
Anyway, my mom was really anal that we stayed warm and comfortable during the trip, so there was no questions about it-- windbreakers were the outerwear uniform, and sneakers were the only acceptable footwear.
I know it doesn't sound that bad, but trust me, if you have seen how the Japanese girls dress on a daily basis, you will understand why we felt like worms for most of our trip wtf.
So when we found out about the recent Tokyo trip, unanimously our first thought was: "YES! REDEMPTION TIME!" And we ignored our mom's pleas for us to wear sneakers (veto-ed), to wear puffy windbreakers (ignored), and bring thermal wear ("speak to the hand, mom!"), hehe.
Behold, almost 6 years later... REDEMPTION TIME!!!
As you can see, my mom was still with her windbreaker HAHAHAHAHA.
I reckoned we did okay! It is possible to still be stylish while you travel, and it's a skill that I only picked up in the last few years. And the best part is, we managed to stay warm and comfortable (disclaimer wtf: for most of the trip) so my mom had nothing to say! In fact, she said she want to steal a few pages out of our books on how to dress while traveling, haha.

My hairdresser screwed my hair. She said she'd do relaxing but instead she straighten it. Now my hair is poker straight and juts out. I looks dry too.
What should I do?
1. Relaxing
2. Treatment
Thanks :)
ting: YESSSS i was going to say that the shot looks like it was taken from tumblr! now wait for your head to kembang wtf
anonymous: My heart is with you! My hairdresser screwed up my hair once too by perming it (when I didn't ask for one!), and my hair was forever ruined after that. T_T I am not really the best person to ask about hair advice, because my hair is not the healthiest around, but I highly recommend going for this ion treatment at 76style! It has been a month since I have done the treatment, and my hair is the softest, silkiest it has ever been... The effects of brazilian keratin treatment didn't last that long for me(about 1 month? maybe I didn't know how to take care of my hair), so yea, I am really contemplating doing the ion treatment on a monthly basis! Hope that helps! :)
i love how you managed to dress stylishly and stay warm!
i'm always battling with that choice as well since i travel frequently to cold places. all the times i chose fashion over comfort i end up wishing i was warmer! i still can't dress for fashion since i'm horribly sensitive to the cold and layering just doesn't seem to work much for me (except maybe 8 layers of clothes, by which time i'm sure the fashionable pieces would look weird)
would love it if you wrote more in detail about how you managed the cold weather fashion!
its been awhile since i've been on this blog i'm going to go catch up the other posts now :)
