weekend escape to Como Zoo :D

HellO~

I am sorry for the lack of posts again!! D;
We found out that our house rental landlord decided to put this house up for sale,, :sigh: with that news we have been busy trying to find a new place to live and etc... :headache:

So I really need to get away to a relaxing place today since we had to be out of our house for a open house viewing that they had at our place... :sigh:


It was my first time there since Ive moved here so it was really exciting to just relax and view some beautiful scenery~ They have a zoo and a plant conservatory all in one with beautiful Japanese Garden as well!  I didnt take all of the attractions photos cause it got way too hot for me and I completely forgot too take photos :failed:


 beautiful green house

  3. Wow, you just made the zoo look 10x better than it normally do. Not saying that the Como Zoo is horrible or anything but your pictures made it looked amazing! Also, I'm pretty new to your blog so it was kind of a shock to me to read "COMO ZOO" on my Google Reader. I would have never thought that I would meet (well, not literally but you get what I'm trying to say, right?) another blogger from Minnesota! Because honestly, no one lives here. =(

  12. Oh you look gorgeous as usual Eki :). I'm so sorry to hear about your stressful situation with your landlord and I hope it works out ASAP. It's a shame you don't like your hair colour because I think it's gorgeous! So rare to see blonde Asian hair that isn't orange haha XD.

  13. Yay Como Zoo! I've been going there since forever so it's been really fun to see how things have expanded and grown. Especially in some part of the conservatory, the plants have grown so much! I was thinking of going back before I head off to Japan, I hope I have time!

  15. not trying to be mean or anything. But I think dark brown hair does suit your face and skincolor better.
    And it looks more natural..

    The place looks beautifull btw :) those flowers! <3

    Love love love love love! Everything about this post is gorgeous. I'm sorry about the headache with the landlord but like I said via tweet, i'm glad you've gotten a chance to go somewhere so beautiful and relaxing. Your OOTD is adorable too!

  28. That's really awful your landlord just decides this so suddenly... the same thing happened to my grandparents years ago since the landlords wanted to sell the land to build giant apartments. Lots of elderly people lived there, so I can only imagine it was hard for them to find new homes in such short time!! Luckily my mom found nice apartments, and my friend's mom moved in too so they had nice neighbors too. ^^ I really hope you and Zach can find a nice place soon and just relax!!! I hate hearing you being stressed all the time, Eki... please take time to care for yourself and not worry so much about life. I wish I can run up and give you a big hug, please feel better soon!!! <3

    The zoo looks absolutely stunning. You look too beautiful to stress so much too! You're really amazing to feel like this but still pull together a beautiful face and outfit. I wish I had that same enthusiasm hehe!! I hope you found peace and comfort in such a beautiful environment :D And omg.... the monkey....... Colonel Mustache Monkey OMG so kawaii!! >w<

    I can't WAIT for your next post!! I'm currently using the Hot Pink bb cream and love it... but I'm super curious about other bb creams as well!! :)

    Stay beautiful and happy Eki!! <3

    You really should watch this video
    Women and Advertising    http://vimeo.com/20024751

    Jean Kilbourne points out what is happening to every woman all over the world through advertising and sexualisation.

    You especially should watch at minute 27:00
    You are a 100% victim of pop culture wanting women to look like sexy little girls with no skills but looking sexy girlish and promiscuitiv.
    Is it really sexy to look like a little girl?
