sakura

so havent really had a chance to hanami cuz by the time i get off work its dark n its always bad weather on my off day :/

but on sunday after work me n the other assistant went to a night time sakura festival since its near our work

it was nice. cuz during the day its cloudy n the sakura are white/very very pale pink so it blends in with the grey sky and doesnt look good but here at night theres a black background so they stand out more plus theres lanterns to light them up it was nice(but im sure it'd better better during a nice sunny day)

there was one tree that had these purple-ish lights illuminating on it so made the flowers more pink and pretty

this is prob the only time i'll hanami :( before when the weather was okay and ppl be having picnics n stuff, the sakura werent full bloom so thats stupid. but when it is full bloom its like cloudy n stuff. and next week like its gonna be too late cuz even today the flowers are falling already so not as pretty

a video of sakura

theres a riverbank with lots of trees along the way. itd be so pretty to see during the day but since its nice cant get a good pic. but there were also boats with ppl for sakura viewing but idk if they got good pics cuz camera flash doesnt reach the trees 

anyways theres lots of food booths along with the trees so we walked around looking what to eat cuz we are hungrryyyy

we got some osaka style okonomiyaki, yummy buttery potatos, yakitori, and idk what this really is but like some chicken skin gyoza thing??

yeah um it looks better in person

and for desert chocolate covered bananas! 

i wanted to try it at the fireworks festival but didnt. it was delicious tho

went home around 9:30 and as she was taking me to the train station we had to walk past this area where all these host guys try picking u up n idk its just kinda scary like u walk n ur like 'dont talk to me' in ur mind as u approach them lol

anyways on tuesday i got an extra day off cuz i wanted to hanami with jon the 4th or 5th but BOTH days were crappy weather OF COURSE!!! so we just hung out instead.

we went to shimokitazawa and had pizza and looked around shops. they have pretty cool stores there, gotta take claire there with me when she comes back.

and let me complain about my roommate just a sec. i like her n all but her lifestyle kinda annoys me. prob mentioned this already idk but she sometimes comes home late like 11:30-midnightish even though she has to work n get up early the next day. and sometimes she comes home early and goes to sleep at freaking 8. like nooo thats TOO EARLY!!! even if im really tired i suck it up and go to bed at 10 earliest but 8 is too early. so she sleep at 8, wakes up at 11:30/12 and goes eat or whatever takes shower ect like why? why dont u do that stuff first THEN go to bed? it just makes more sense that way instead of messing up ur sleep schedule. i mean u know, its her life n all whatever it dont really affect me cuz im not the one thats gonna be a zombie in the morning but its just like, shes 33 or something id think she'd be more responsible or something about that sorta thing by her age. everymorning i usually almost always wake up before my alarm and im not so tired in the morning but she just looks so dead when she wakes up(same time as me, well now i go to work an hour later but you know what i mean) and the fact that when she comes home when im in bed trying to sleep it doesnt really seem like shes trying to be quiet cuz she makes a ton of noise with plastic bags in her fridge n stuff. but anyways thats just my little rant
