Tracon
3rd to 4th September I spend in Tampere in Tracon which is a yearly convention. I went there with Linda. We left early morning at Saturday by train, it was funny that we spotted alot of people in there clearly going to Tracon. I didn't cosplay anything as I haven't like in last 8 years but Linda cosplayed Daichi from Hikyuu. After looking at Linda and then other cosplayers I got the feeling I want to cosplay again :P Maybe next year? :DSo we got to Tampere about 9am and went to leave our luggage in big cloakroom. Then we went to get our bracelets, we had e-tickets like everyone else and had to change it to bracelet.

| hi there, my look in saturday :P |
Then we waited about half an hour and got in. We first went to leave my stuff to flea market (I had lot of stuff this year I wanted to get rid of that I don't use anymore). Funny when the volunteer worker who scanned my stuff to sale spotted some of my kpop stuff started like "OMG I'm a fan too, I have this!" and I was like ok :D
After dropping my stuff there we headed to sales hall where we just checked every table but didn't really buy anything... except Matcha pocky since both of us are green tea lovers :P
We didn't have anything to do before going to one panel so we visited karaoke and sang VIXX On&On lmao. After karaoke and panel we headed to eat because we started to get hungry.
We walked to near small shopping mall and first visited this kind of asian food store where we bought some snacks. Then we visited asian buffet right next to it although it was funny that it called itself thai restaurant when it had chinese name and partly japanese buffet lol.
Then we walked back to convention place and after awhile left to go to our accommodation which we got through airbnb. Our accommodation was right in center of Tampere, next to Koskikeskus shopping mall and like 300 meters away from convention so, very nice! Only thing disturbing was that our room at first was full of flies like wtf o.O they had disappeared though when we got back in the evening but came back in the morning again o.O
Anyway, at evening we went to one panel but we were sooooo tired that after getting some late night food to eat we walked straight to our accommodation to sleep. Although we took couple photos from Tampere's night before it :P We went sleep like 10.30pm.
Then I woke up 7am lol... and Linda woke up 9am :,D so I had to wait awhile but I was doing my morning routine and watching some random news sites from cellphone so it was all right, didn't get bored xD

| my look on sunday~ |
So after gathering our stuff we left our accommodation about 10am. We went to eat breakfast and have good coffee to Fazer cafe, it was only cafe nearby open at 10am which was ridiculous. Tampere isn't a small city so you would think you could find alot of cafes open even in sunday in early morning but no.. then we left to drop our bigger luggages to big cloakroom and after it planned to go watch one program... but then I noticed I left my bag in the cafe T_T I'm an idiot... this haven't happened to me before, I usually take care of my stuff really well but I guess it was because we were in kinda hurry so... when I went back in panic the staff in fazer cafe was reeeeally friendly and they had taken my bag to safekeeping ;A; I thanked like 4 times because I was thinking that what if someone stole my bag or something from it but staff had noticed it immediately and kept it safe. I couldn't really thank enough because my wallet was in my bag ;A;
So, we walked back to convention place aka Tampere talo again, it was raining but still quite beautiful morning.

| my breakfast :P |
When we got back, there was an anime piano concert which we thought would be nice to see so we went to listen that. Weren't disappointed at all. Pianist played music from one of my all-time favorite anime; Inuyasha. I don't watch anime much at all anymore so it was kind of nostalgic feeling to hear some music from a series I watched like 10 years ago :D I have only one clip from concert and it was when pianist played Shingeki no kyojin (Attack on titan) theme song Guren no yumiya. Sorry my cellphone refused to film it properly at first T_T so the picture is blurry at first in the video T_T
After pianoconcert we just hang out. Our day was pretty much like that... because it took too much time for us to find a place to eat at day <_< we didn't want any fast food and it took a long time to find an italian restaurant where we could at least order pasta or something like that. But food was delicious in that italian restaurant we went to eat. Like one of the best pasta's I have ever eaten! Restaurant was in one side road opposite of Stockmann and nearby.
When we left to go home at evening both of us was so tired we barely spoke in train trip at all. But all in all we had fun convention and I'm still thinking that should I do a cosplay for next year :D
Last week
Last week was pretty much a busy week. I went to color my hair and then visited beauty events in Sokos stores. I visited events for Sensai and for Lumene with Annina and we had great time and got lots of tips to different makeup techniques. From Sensai we got a small thank you gift which was blotting papers and couple small samples of their toner and cleansing powder. From Lumene we got their new mask treatment and lip treatment when buying one product from Lumene (I bought their new lip color stick in shade 7, autumn beauty.) Propably going to review some of the products sometime when I have used them a little bit~Other
Lastly I just want to recommend some things I have been hooked up with~I watched korean drama Uncontrollably fond which I didn't like at all but it's OST was amazing. I got addicted to so many songs and it was funny because 80% of the music was sung in english~ But I liked all english songs and most of korean songs in the OST and here's couple I can recommend:
I have been addicted to two dramas lately that started recently. One is Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart: Ryeo which is historical drama based on chinese drama (so it's a remake basically). Lee Jun Ki, my favorite korean actor is starring in it <3 and his role is Wang So, a mysterious lone wolf prince with mask covering half of his face because of a scar. I have seen chinese version of it and I have to say it's totally different and for me it's just a positive thing because chinese version was a little boring. But anyway Scarlet Heart is drama number 1 I have been addicted lately:
Other drama I have been following lately is Love in the Moonlight which is also a historical drama starring Park Bo Gum, one of the hottest actors in korea right now. Firstly I didn't get why Park Bo Gum is so hyped in korea but now I totally understand after watching this drama; he's a great actor, he can express many things only with his face without saying anything. His looks wasn't my style at first exactly but now that I follow this drama he has been growing on me and I came to like his looks also besides his acting :P
So this is all for this post~ next post propably in two weeks since I don't have alot going on :,D
