✿ Copenhagen Sakura Festival 2012 ✿

 |PICTURE POST|

I went to Copenhagen Sakura Festival this Sunday. I think the weather had worried a lot of people since it rained Saturday. I was supposed to go Saturday as well but ended up only going Sunday. I have been looking forward for this event for some time, and finally dressing up in yukata again as well *(*´∀｀*)☆

Following will be my pictures from this year's hanami.

Here's a few pics of my look from Saturday even though I ended up not going (ノ*゜▽゜*)

I went for a more natural makeup this year~

 Well, only my hair was different Sunday since I had to go to work afterwards. But it was nice seeing a lot of people again (●´∀｀●) It was still pretty cold though, so I mostly sat at one place trying to hide from the wind haha. ha. Wish I had walked around a bit more talking to more people T_T But I was actually a bit sick Saturday night, and my allergy has been crazy these past days as well.. Various pollen are raping my face... Nature's cruel sometimes lol.

 This year's sakura! So pretty! ♥

Thanks for looking! ♪♫

Ancestors Celebration (GTHV) 2012

 This weekend the Vietnamese cultural event Giỗ Tổ Hùng Vương (Ancestors celebration) was held. My friends and I have been planning this for months, and suddenly the big day approached. We went to the location the night before to get some things ready. I think Friday night to Saturday night felt like one long day for us all! I haven't been so stressed in such a long timespan. I felt like I had been turning somersaults the whole day ヾ(。￣□￣)ﾂ

Anyway, as mentioned earlier, my primary responsibility was the Fashion show. Planning when all the girls should meet for rehearsal, makeup and hair was a big stress for me. Even though I did half of the girls' makeup around noon and the latter in the evening, it was super stressful and my back hurt like crazy since I have to stand up and do the makeup. I love doing makeup. But doing it on 10 girls+ is something whole different!! 

 This is all the models! I designed all the dresses, made the hair accessories and makeup. We have a seamstress who is specialized in sewing aó dài (Vietnamese tradiotional dress), who has helped us every year. The fabric for the dresses is bought in Vietnam.

Sadly I have none real close-up of the girls' makeup, as I was too busy actually doing the makeup!

 

 I took some portraits of all the girls though. You can see them all on my facebook

Other pictures from the event and the actual fashion show can be seen on our facebook page: DTTN Lac Hong.

 I stole this pic from one of the girls~

Anyway, the evening went by pretty well. I was stuck in makeup and hair most of the evening though lol, but that's just how it is.

Hope you liked! ｡◕‿◕｡

Japanese University Festivals ☆

This weekend, almost all the universities had their annual university festivals! I wish I could have gone to them all, but I'm still happy I was able to attend two.

The first one at Hitotsubashi University on Saturday, and then at Waseda university on Sunday.

Unfortunately I didn't take that many pictures at Hitotsubashi, however I DID see this awesome guy with awesome haircut lol

I wanted to ask for a better picture of his hair, but he seemed kinda busy with this football-goal event XD

At the festival, all the students organize a big festival with food, events and shows. I was really surprised by the size of the school festivals! It all seemed so professional and organized. And everybody was very energetic and tried to get as many customers as possible. It was a really nice experience!!

 

The Waseda festival was the biggest of the two I went to. I heard the one at Keio University should be the biggest. I hope I can go another time in the future maybe!

A lot of people dressed up in funny costumes to attract more attention. It was a really colorful scenery ( ´艸｀)

There were a lot of cosplayers as well~ ♫

Even a girl dressed as Lady Gaga!

 Pretty dancers and this guy that even dyed his hair green!

 We saw on a sign a club called Alice in Wasedaland and when we checked it out, it was a Lolita club!

 The girls were all dressed up in lolita fashion and sold different types of accessories.

At Hitotsubashi University festival they had Miss Hitotsubashi.

However, at Waseda University, they had Mr. Waseda. And actually, we found out it was the BODYBUILDER club.

 It was sooo hilarious!! All the participants had to do the different bodybuilder poses, and people then shouted for their favorite. Some of them even cosplayed and did a small posing sketch. I think it was the most hilarious thing I've seen so far. And the atmosphere in the big hall was very hot and lively. All the small girls were shouting "kawaii!!!" or "kakkoii!!!" all the time XD

It all ended with a big showcase in the biggest hall. People were provided with neon lights and it all looked like a BIG concert event. At the showcase, a lot of the different university clubs joined together for the closing ceremony show. First, all the different dance clubs did an amazing show. Afterwards, some of the smaller clubs like traditional Japanese instrument club + Japanese traditional dance had joined together for a performance and so on.

A lot of the clubs were represented at the showcase. I must admit I was amazed by all the different clubs and their sizes. They had things like hawaii dance, Japanese 'banzai' cheering, BOYS cheerleading squad, Japanese NOH drama and so a LOT more that I don't recall.

It was indeed a very interesting weekend!! I'm so happy I could go and see it. I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted due to the unfortunately bad rainy weather o(；△；)o

But everyone survived, and the festival still continued with high spirits despite the weather~♫
