Chrysanthemum Beauty

I really, really apologise for the lack of posts, I’ve been busy… O_o Well..in order to make up for it, I have a floral post today and tomorrow I’d like to introduce you to TEH KITTEH’S TRAVEL ESSENTIALS. But now let’s look at the beautiful flowers! :)

*

Autumn – a chrysanthemum time… I’ve never particularly liked these originally Japanese flowers but it has changed this autumn…it took a second and I was mesmerized. Please, take a look at the incredibly gorgeous color combination…the coldly violet-purple petals…the yellow leaves…the deep stormblue vase…I am in love.

Beauty is all around us, we just need to take a look.

The delicate charm of the petals is taking my breath away! I really believe that nature is the best designer. :)

SO MANY THINGS!!!! I can never list just few…it always ends up like this – and this has been just like 0,000009998643% of all the things that make me happeh. :)

One advice to grumpy people – when feeling grumpy, create your own HAPPEH LIST. It helps! ;)

And now…off to sketching layouts, studying Chemistry & then revising Biology. Oh yeaaaah~

 

On Hipsterism & Other Diseases

Because I am an avid reader and browser of fashion & design blogs & I am studying Graphic Design, I often get in contact with HIP PEOPLE. It’s quite hard to pinpoint what *exactly* makes them SO HIP, but there is this overall feeling you get…and you know they belong to the hipster group.

A very hilarious hipster definition(s) can be found at Urban Dictionary. Here:

A HIPSTER:
Listens to bands that you have never heard of. Has hairstyle that can only be described as “complicated.” (Most likely achieved by a minimum of one week not washing it.)

Probably tattooed. Maybe gay. Definitely cooler than you. Reads Black Book, Nylon, and the Styles section of the New York Times. Drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon. Often. Complains.
Always denies being a hipster. Hates the word.
Probably living off parents money – and spends a great deal of it to look like they don’t have any. Has friends and/or self cut hair. Dyes it frequently (black, white-blonde, etc. and until scalp bleeds).
Has a closet full of clothing but usually wears same three things OVER AND OVER (most likely very tight black pants, scarf, and ironic tee-shirt). Chips off nail polish artfully after $50 manicure. Sleeps with everyone and talks about it at great volume in crowded coffee shops. Addicted to coffee, cigarettes (Parliaments, Kamel Reds, Lucky Strikes, etc.), and possibly cocaine. Claims to be in a band. Rehearsals consist of choosing outfits for next show and drinking PBR. Always on the list. Majors or majored in art, writing, or queer studies. Name-drops. May go by “Penny Lane,” “Eleanor Rigby,” etc. when drunk. On PBR. Which is usually.

HAHAHAAAA!!!

The article omits one thing a true hipster MUST have in his/her apartment – TAXIDERMY. Or ANTLERS at least. Any. It should be preferrably from some thrift shop but if the said hipster can afford this Swarovski antlers that sparkle beautifully on the dead skull, then he/she should definately go for it.

I have noticed that lots of Graphic Designers end up being hipsters and I hope that is not going to be my future too, even though I really enjoyed reading Nylon while I was in Malaysia…hihihiii…*

Now, let’s revise what are the essential HIPSTER STYLE items:

• ripped dirty canvas shoes, OR (if the said hipster is rich) anything by Balmain
• liquid leggins, either black OR in any insanely disgusting neon color (80s style patterns are accepted too)
• jeans so skinny one’s legs are being deprived of blood circulation
• a very long t-shirt OR something baggy made of tartan
• tortoise OR black geeky glasses worn even if the hipster’s eyesight is perfect
• a long cardigan of a color that clashes with the other colors in the particular outfit
• fingerless gloves are acceptable
• black kohl/liquid eyeliner is OK, must be slightly smudged (“after a long & wild partynight filled with indie music”)
• if sunglasses are to be worn, they should be Kanye West-esque because He is THE Rich Hipster & He knows His thing :D
• anything VINTAGE but not pin-up looking

(Goood. Are we satisfied with my list? Am I missing anything??? If so, please comment here & I will add it! This is some serious sociology, I have to be as correct in my informations as possible. ;))

I was listing all this because I have realised that I am SO NOT HIP…and that has to be changed, at least for a day….at least for TODAY.

Teh Kitteh is a hipster!

With THREE taxidermies, not just one! Pffftttt, beat that you losers!!!

I am so hip, even my Graphic Design skills are like...so vintage! xD

Do you like my HIPSTER STYLE?

I am sure you do. No one beats Teh Kitteh in HIPSTER STYLIN’!!!!

And now if you will excuse me, I need to go & fold all my leggings nicely into my cupboard that smells like cigs from that indie club. Kthxbai.

* I am definately making fun of hipsters, because like emos they are pretenious lil’ kids to me but they are cute neverthless & I really wanted to be a hipster for a day….and Photoshop came to help me. ;) No hipster has been harmed during the styling of myself. No hipster can get angry at me!

My Graphic Design lecturers also can’t get angry at me because this whole design is an IRONY. :D

 

Kitteh Dislikes People on the Train

So today I hopped on my usual morning train (EC 174 Jan Jessenius from Budapest-Keleti to Hamburg Altona, in case you are interested) and went into the 2nd carriage where I like to sit. Somehow I ended up sitting on the same place that I did last week and I was enjoying my solitude, planning to go over the Cytology once again or read up my Žurnál magazine that I’ve just bought & it was full of amazing articles on world politics & ecology & psychiatry….

And then a young dude entered my compartment.

And then my solitude has ended & a HUGE annoyance began.

(The best lolcat evur)

He has started to talk to me in a way as if we knew each other for the last 5 years and I’ve slept with his brother.

*

During the first hour it was fun because I had someone to talk to even though I prefer to sleep/read/revise/look out of the window/daydream.

*

During the second hour I started to get very tired of all the shallow conversation & I wanted to read/revise Cytology while his mouth would be preferrably shut up tight & he would be doing his own thing (doesn’t the boy have any book/school stuff/mp3 player/whatever to do???!!!).

*

During the third hour I was freaking annoyed because he had to talk his freaking crap even though I was OBVIOUSLY holding a magazine IN FRONT OF MY FACE & *TRYING* TO READ and even though I kept on replying to him in ONE WORD sentences.

*

During the fourth hour I was doing my best to KEEP A POKER FACE & not send him to all the shitty holes of the world where dead rats walk around with maggots sticking out of their eyes.
My poker face keeping has almost been ruined when he wanted to go pee and said that he is going….but there is someone at the toilet…so I told him there is a toilet on the other end of the compartment or in the next compartment…when he said: “You wanna get rid of me, right? I don’t even let you read…”, all with a BIG BRIGHT SMILE on his face.

My self-control skills have reached the level just below the Zen in that moment & I have coldly uttered only: “Well, what use would it be of getting rid of you now? I am almost in Prague anyway…”, while thinking he should consider jumping out of the window and ending on the railway tracks.

In the end I had to leave the compartment 10 minutes before we actually reached the Prague – Holešovice station because if I had stayed those 10 minutes more I might have commited a homicide.

*

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!

I will now tell you in bullet points what was so annoying at the presence of this dude in my (shortly) peaceful & quiet compartment:

• his presence
• his talking
• his questions on me
• his awaiting my answers on his stupid questions on me
• his interrupting my futile tries on reading
• his interrupting my futile tries on making him shut up with my glaring (I think I wasn’t glaring the best I can because NO ONE ever dared to ignore my glares…they are lethal wtf!)
• his primitive conversation topics
• his inability to shut the fuck up for more than 3 minutes
• his touching my knee (NO ONE TOUCHES ME just like this wtf, unless I ALLOW so)
• his telling me about buying condoms in Italy (DO I GIVE A FUCK?! NO I DON’T)
• his inability to decipher my annoyance with his existence
• …

AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH11!!! >_<

I think I might need some yoga or cardio tomorrow because so far I haven’t stopped steaming and fuming and this encounter made me so psychically tired it’s insane.
I don’t like people invading my privacy (…and my compartments wtf). I HATE people talking to me even after I lose interest in talking to them all because I hate being fake and pretenious and faking that I am enjoying my time even though all I want for the particular person is to have him/her shut the fuck up ASAP.

WHEW!!!! That was a long & fruitful rant. :D

Now, let’s listen to Katie Melua because that is the ultimate calming down music. :)))

Sighz.

 

So I Have Decided to Move my Butt…

…and I went to the BODYWORK class yesterday at 9.15am!!!

So 80s! *click*

If you are thinking that I am insane to go torture myself at 9.15am on Sunday, I will have to agree with you. :D The bodywork instructor was very nice, a blonde-haired fit young woman with LOTS of energy…her choreography was great and my ability to repeat it was terrible. xD

OMG. It’s been YEARS since I was at any aerobics class and I have to say that me, a person that likes yoga and belly dance felt really *quite* out of my body comfort zone there. :P The feeling of doing something beneficial for myself afterwards was great though, so I am going to work our next week too – but this time it will be the FITBALL class with the same instructor…on Monday, from 7pm to 8pm. I guess a fitball class will click better with my idea of exercise and I will also stretch better. :) Can’t wait!!!

Srsly….it is a rare occasion to see me work out in a gym but I should change it because if I am not active in some way, I feel like a fat donut or something. -_- The belly dance is lovely and gorgeous and it makes me feel SEXAYYYYY but it doesn’t really help in getting more fit (although the last week’s class was very intense! Omg 5min shimmy with different arm dance postures? MAD~) so I need to alter it with different exercises as well.

Wish me luck in not losing my motivation. ;)

 

But in case I will be close to losing my motivation, I will always remember how GORGEOUS la loba Shakira looks:

*click*

YEAAAHHH.

Now I am off to sleep…gotta wake up in 6 hrs & 30 mins! O_o
*imaginative hugs to everyone*

 

 

This Friday Needs Some Pretty Lingerie

Like this (…and sadly, I am not getting paid for this but I SHOULD!!! HELLO!!! Endorse me someone! *wink wink wink*):

CARINE GILSON, SILK & LACE CAMISOLE, €535 (whoa! O_o)

Credits to Net-a-Porter *click*

*Slightly* pricey but oh so beautiful…me wantz. Me no getz. :( One day, maybe…and then my boyfriend will start an epic salivation. Roarrr. No seriously, it’s STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS!!!1! Love, love, love. But I think I would be scared to wear it – I mean, what if I destroy that delicate lace?! That would be a sin…

ETAM LINGERIE PICADILLY BODY FOR 32€

Credits to Etam.com *click*

I am actually *GOING TO* buy this stripey beauty once it arrives to Prague’s Etam stores because I can’t live without it.  Srsly! It’s the perfect body and I love that little frilly skirt. Very princessy and adorable. ^.^

STELLA McCARTNEY AMBER CHATTING TRIANGLE BRA (€140.42) + BRIEFS (€73.26)

Credits to Net-a-Porter *click*

I’m not really sure about this piece because….see how the bralette cups make the model’s boobs look like some dead figs??! Now, I really wouldn’t want a 140€ bra make me look like I have dead figs on my chest but it’s still a very interesting piece of lingerie when it comes to its DESIGN, plus I adore Stella McCartney.

The transparent material used on the lingerie is GREAT and I love the massive use of this particular lace. A girl can NEVER have enough of LACE in her lingerie drawer, believe me!!!1 ;)

This lingerie set is definately interesting & beautiful but only for A cupped girls (oh, lucky me, now I just need some sponsoring on this *hint hint*). All the boobier ladies would look like…ehh..just NOT good. Dead figs, really.

The last piece of lingerie will be actually shown on myself as well, but don’t get too excited, it’s nothing transparent. ;) In fact, it’s a VERY beautiful satine nightgown that I have almost bought today:

ETAM LINGERIE MAKE UP NUISETTE SATIN for 30€
…on the model:

…and on me:

{miamichaela.wordpress.com}

I WANT. I can has pls? *sad kitteh eyes*

My future husband will be a very happy man, because I am THAT kind of a girl that enjoys wearing beautiful, lacy, transparent sinful things even underneath cotton t-shirts*.
But you know…pretty underthings DO transform the way you feel about yourself. Even that cotton t-shirt feels much more glam & sexy if you (ideally only you…and your man, maybe) know what saucy something do you have under! ;)

—

*OK, with the exception of my life in Prague where I wear cotton bras with polka dots and cotton granny panties in muted granny colors because I can’t be bothered. Heh.

 

Kitteh Cytologist

These are the important words of my studious morning (8.45am to 12.45pm):

• proteosynthetis
• triplet
• DNA
• transcription
• mRNA, tRNA
• translation
• RNA-polymerasis
• cell cycle:
• interphase -> G1-phase, S-phase, G2-phase
• stimulators, inibitors
• mitosis -> prophase, metaphase, anaphase (A & B), telophase
• mitotic spindle, metaphase plate
• karyokinesis, cytokinesis
• fragmoplast
• meiosis I -> prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I
• bivalents, chiazmas, crossing over, disjunction of bivalents
• meiosis II – no interphase, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II, 4 haploid cells
• proliferating genes = onkogenes
• antiproliferating genes = tumor-supressing genes
• cell apoptosis
• fagocytosis by macrophages
• cell necrosis

 

O_O

…from ALL THAT SITTING!!!! :D @_#
But I has teh warms & fuzzies because I really feel I am making some EPIC PROGRESS. ^^

 

Now I need to go buy the toilet paper & hair conditioner, return with it here, take the belly dance clothes with me, change my Euros for CZK, eat some lunch somewhere, go to Sephora & look up the blusher for mom, go buy test questions from Biology & Chemistry, go belly dance & then come back here and pack a bit.

OMG BUSY KITTEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1! ^^

And with a positively fried brain. I’m only revising all these things, I remember quite a lot…but it’s still very unusual for me to be actually making some use of my brain cells. xD Not that we don’t use them at Graphic Design…it’s just that we use them LESS. At least that’s my observation after 1,5 year of studying Graphic Design in Prague. HMMMM.

Alrighty. Off to civilise my pyjama-clad myself and then off, off, off to everywhere!!! ^_^

A Tired Wisdom

“A man grows most tired while standing still.”
~ CHINESE PROVERB

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.”
~ FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE

 

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.”

Why am I posting all these?
Because I love quotes…and because I am SO. DARN. TIRED. *epic yawn* -_- Don’t know what’s wrong with me but I just wanna sleep….snooze….nap….oh…I might really be turning into a real kitteh. I’ll update you when I’ll spot some whiskers growing on me.

Regarding the 1st quote – I NEED some exercise but all the gyms in Prague are so expensive…I think I will wait for Saturday when I’ll be back to Bratislava.

And now I am off to read more quotes, namely Chinese proverbs. Ha.

 

TEH KITTEH DIARIEZ

My love for teh lolcats is now proudly displayed on this brand new header that took me 10 minutes 5 hours of a dilligent graphic design work.

U likez?

(My lecturers would KILL me for the use of Impact typeface, but my lecturers don’t know that the iconic lolcat typography is mainly about Impact. With black strokes around. YEAHHH.)

I likez.

And btw, the amount of daily reads has dropped even lower so I think this blog will need some obscene pornography soon. -_- But before anything like that happens, here is a peek into my super exciting life full of bathing in Belgian nougat chocolate & walking around the house in YSL slippers:

• mom knows about my Biology plans already. She APPROVES!!! I got only one condition – I must work part-time & earn some money for myself while I am studying. Sounds like a deal! ^^
• I am sooooo sleepy. It’s been a very long day today and I just wanna….zzZzZzzzzz… ~_~
• I am trying to eat healthily. :)
• Almost finished revising Cytology! ^^ I still need to look more into the insane Krebs’ Cycle and then I will start revising all the bacterias, fungi, vertebrae, plants…..all the living world! :) But for now, this is the Krebs’ Cycle, please enjoy (I am planning to print it out on A3 and hang it above my desk wtf)….:

Uuuuhhhh. There’s nothing better than a dash of biochemistry for good night… *evil laughter*

TEH KITTEH will be back tomorrow and will hopefully have some obsenely pornographic candid photos taken interesting things to blog about already! :)

 

Emergency Blogging Action

I have noticed a DRASTIC DROP in daily reads on my blog. A few days ago almost 400 people read my verbal diarrhoea everyday…and today only 30 people bothered to check out what’s new in my highly exciting, SATC-esque life full of Manolo Blahniks and parties with Justin Timberlake.

I think the time has come to do something outrageously scandalous in order to GET MORE PEOPLE READ ME.

My marketing consultants tell me *THIS* will work:

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*RAAWWWWRRRR*

If the number of hits and reads everyday will go even lower, I will go naked!!!!!!1!11 >_< *wink wink*

Sex sells, oh yeah baby.
