Sick sick sick...

Hello all,

My first semester in Vancouver is almost over and I have about three more semesters to go. Since exams are just around the corner I been studying my butt off like no tomorrow. I guess with the lack of sleep and with all this rain lately, I caught a cold. So over the last few days I been resting from studying cause I couldn't concentrate at all.

But anyway I do have good news, I added new songs on my page. Some of the songs I play nonstop. Hope you all check them out.

Also next month I plan on going to Japan again. This time I will be heading to Osaka then Tokyo afterwards. My friends invited me so I plan on going. So stay tuned.


That's all for now

bye bye~

Quick recent makeup..

I tried to go for a "sexy" look yesterday and the day before.To be honest I love it !!!
Also love my new camera phone!! I can take better pictures with this phone. The focus is so clear ! I love it.

February Trips...

Hello~

It's been awhile since my last update I thought I should write a little something. February went by pretty quick. Actually I think this year is going by fast. I can't believe it's already March. It's been three months since I moved out to Vancouver and just a little over a year to go. These days it rains way too much. No fun at all. Even though i'm not a "summer" type of person I can't wait for summer to come so I can actually get to see the sun and regain some energy.

Anyway in February I had a short vacation so I had a mini getaway to Japan. I was also supposed to go to Jamaica too but that didn't work out because the flights were terrible. Anyway I had a blast in Tokyo, didn't want to leave as usual. Can't wait until next year when I go back for good. Until then I can't wait for my next vacation.

I got to meet up and hangout with some of my old friends whom I known for 3+ years. I haven't seen them in so long so it was great to finally catch up with them. I'm not into taking pictures but this time I took tons of pictures. Because I felt like I should start making photo albums of places I been too.

Here's some pictures from my recent trip to Tokyo (Feb 2013)

View from where I was staying.

We are about to take purikura.

some more..

If you have me on facebook or instagram you probably seen some of these already.
If you are interested in checking out some more of my pictures from when I lived in Kyoto, Fukuoka or Tokyo then check out my facebook or instagram.

In my last posts before I mentioned I was going to Thailand in February. I was supposed to go but things got changed at the last minute. I still plan on going though.


That's all for now,
Take care~

Thank you!

1st week over....

Happy New Year !

This is now my second week in Vancouver,BC and I'm loving it. The weather has it's ups and down (been raining a lot) but recently it hasn't been raining and I finally got to feel the weather and it's perfect. Not too cold, not too warm but just in the middle.

Before I came over to Vancouver I did a little photo-shoot. It was my first one in like 2-3 years so I was a little nervous. But in the end I had fun and the pictures came out great ! Here's a little peek ;

This is my absolute fav...

Most of you probably already seen it on Facebook or Intsagram. I really love how they came out and i'm looking forward to doing more in the future.

Anyways back to Vancouver life.. I met up with some Japanese friends and went out for the first time since I been here. We did karaoke for hours and hours (I won't be singing for the next few days haha). It's really refreshing here, the scenery is really beautiful as well! So far i'm loving it here, would be more awesome if I knew more people here but I just got here so i'll give some more time.

Until then,
ciao for now

Last month of the year..

Hello,

I have been getting things together and packing to move to Vancouver over the last few days. On top of that I am still studying on my own before I start school in January. I'm excited but at the same time i've never been a "school" type person before so I want this to go by quickly.

Besides going to school, I can't wait for 2013 to start because I have many things planned and I will be updating regularly once everything falls into place. I can't say exactly what I am planning throughout the year yet but I can say that I am organizing a trip to Thailand in February. It will be my first time going so I am looking forward to going. As time goes by, I will be able to say what I will be doing.

Enough about that.

Recently I been changing my makeup style. The result :

                         
                           
                            

Well that's about it...
Bye for now

Update;Upcoming plans...

Hey,

I have been really busy these past few months, have a lot of things planned out over the next few months to come.
I recently returned back to Toronto from Japan and will be here in Canada for a while. The beginning of the new year, I will be moving to Vancouver for a few reasons and I will also be starting school there as well. I will be there for about a year and half, if things work out well I will return back to Japan after that.


Anyways, my birthday was on November 16th. I went to Vancouver a few days before that but as I was returning back to Toronto, I caught a terrible cold. I couldn't celebrate my birthday the way I planned to but I plan on doing something different soon. But I did receive some awesome presents to cheer me up ;

Make-up set
Foundations & Concealers
Brushes
Louie Vuitton Sunglasses
Gyaru Magazines
Dollywink eyelashes

and money!!! haha

Here's some recent pictures of me loving my new purple lipstick ;

before i add eyelashes

Still no eyelashes..haha

love it xD

Well that's it for now.
Take care~

 

Hot Pink !

So I decided to change my hair style and colour. I went for a hot pink! Half of the back is pink and part of the front is pink as well. I also went for a softer look with my makeup that day. Here's some pics ;

New hair & makeup

I am satisfied with my new colour actually. I didn't think it would come out this good. So i'm glad I did it. Now I can't decide what colour I should do next hmm...

That's it for now.
Bye bye

My Great Escape...

Hello to all. For those who didn't know I have been doing a few trips here and there over the past few weeks.

JAPAN→CANADA→JAMAICA→GRENADA/ST.VINCENT→TAIWAN→CANADA

I'm currently in Canada,but I will be going back to Japan in a few days. I decided to post some of my pictures I took while travelling. Most of the time I forget to take pictures. It's not a lot this time so please bare with me haha.

JAMAICA

My cousin's house.

Relaxing time.

Beach time.

Very beautiful.

                                                                          TAIWAN

Free bus services almost everywhere.

The tall building is Taipei 101; a shopping mall.

I thought it would make a great shot!

A popular tourist spot.

Fun time.

Walking around.

Some things I got while in Taiwan; the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy (currently reading the first one), 10 packs of eyelashes, eyebrow/eye-shadow makeup, mascara, eyeliners(already opened).
I also got some things for my mother and nieces.

 My skin is very sensitive so I got a seriously bad sun tan, will not go into details just believe when i say it's not looking too good haha. I will be hibernating for a while trying to get it under control. I got to catch up with a few old friends in Grenada and Taiwan though so everything was worth it.

I plan on using my new eyelashes soon, so stay tuned for some pics!

Back to Blogging....again

Hello to all! I want to keep this short and simple. I just want to start off saying I always had this account but I never got around to actually use it. So I thought I should start using it (for real this time haha).
If you do not know me I go by Maya but my real name is Shamyah; born and raised in Toronto,Canada. I travel often so I thought I should write down some of my memories while travelling. I'm also into fashion and makeup so that's something else I would often write about too.

That's about it for now.
Bye-Bye~
