reunion, hakuouki, ect

ok ive been soooo lazy to update this blog like in my short amount of free time i have other things id rather do than this. not that ppl read this anyways but u know.

anyways so this post is for july 4th

claire came back to japan to stay another year so we met up and went to namja town for the otomate event

there was also show by rock and osomatsu san again but eh. took some pics anywys

like im honestly so sick n tired of osomatsu san. i really liked the anime while it was airing its really funny but even though its ended you still see it EVERYWHERE. like its the new one piee. u just cant go anywhere without running into it. makes me kinda not like the show as much anymore....

BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT LETS TALK HAKUOUKI

my fav series ever full of my husbands

omg when i saw the cardboard cut outs i was dyinnggggg n claires like 'breath cindy breathe'

look how happy i am

and i gotta take a pic with the alpha hubby kazama~

you werent suppose to touch them but i did anyway shhhh

and off topic but i got my roots did and used this new toner n omg it was so pretty but the color faded really quick so its back to more yellow-y looking aaww

anyways here what we bought to eat:

i bought an amnesia pasta and i think it was a meatpie or something i dont remember

claire got a -too lazy to look up name of game cuz im unfamiliar- dish thats omurice and meatballs with some rice cracker thing

and for dessert:

bought that same series that idk the name and its an eclaire of one of the characters and comes with milk tea. i was kinda expensive but looked cute. plus i worked really hard last month to make lots of $$ to have fun over summer

claire got a wand of fortune pudding pastry/pancake thing with macaroon and berries

afterwards went to otome street n bought more hakuouki junk. she found that one oni kazama keychain thats super rare in the discount bin for 200 yen i was like WHAT!? and bought it anyways even though i already have one cuz why not. and also found a chizuru keychain ive been looking for for 200 yen too yay!

like in the morning it was SUCH a nice day like it was perfect. but OF COURSE as i mention before the weather hates me so always gotta ruin it and start raining. like the weather forecast said like 20% chance of thunder. n everytime it says that it NEVER happens. but when i have a day off, wanna have a good time the weathers like 'ok lets rain' so it starts raining pretty heavily but neither of us had an umbrella cuz we didnt thnk we'd need it so we waited for like 10 ish minutes then just decided to run to the karaoke place n hope it stops when we're done n it did

but heres a pic i took while waiting for the rain to calm down

yadda yadda then just eat n stuff. anyways yesterday met up with claire again after work n whaddya know its POURING this time and she was almost an hour late to our meet up so i was kinda pissed and i had an umbrella but its like a supper tiny little umbrella my first roommate left for me so we tried running to the sushi place but i kinda forgot where it was but like we're still getting wet even though we have an umbrella cuz both of us cant fit under it and yeah i tell her to buy her own.

so anyways we eat sushi, buy more clothes, and drink tapioca

then i prob see her on monday and go to akihabara together

oh and before all this i did another friends nail and did dragon ball z nail art and she paid me $50 which is still really reasonable for this kind of stuff. took like 4 hours i was dead

yup

matsuri

before i get to the main point, heres some hakuouki merch i bought online cuz its cheaper

waahhh the bigger kazama TALKS

and omfg ive been wanting the oni kazama keychain FOREVER but its always expensive like $20 the cheapest i saw it was $10 but for a tiny keychain idk it hurts my wallet so much but my mom found it for $4!!!! AAHH so had to get it obv thats a reasonable price

im so glad i have it now! now i have a version of all kazama outfits/forms ^_^ and bought hijikata too cuz why not?

i also bought more circle lens~

this is ICK -something- grey*too lazy to check) but looks nice huh?

and dueba barbie 3 tones brown or something. idk its a little darker than i thought but its still different shade than my normal eyes. my other brown lens blend in with my eye so it just looks dolly which is ok but im not feeling that all the time i think these look better

anyways ok this happened over a wee ago im just lazy to update:

so at my salon they made us wear yukata to work cuz theres a festival going on nearby. i borrowed a yukata from my boss. it was annoying how we had to be at the salon at 7 am. like on the days i work there id still be asleep at that time. i just rolled outta bed and got on the train i didnt even care i look like crap

anyways the other assistand did my hair n helped put on the yukata. we also got a new assistant shes nice but i have a feeling she wont stay with us long cuz she doesnt have prior experience to this kind of stuff and shes a graphic designer so this is prob just a temporary job.

anyways it was kinda hard working in a yukata but it was fun taking pics

heres everyone together and the assistants sister too

then we were able to leave work like 10 min earlier to enjoy the festival yay~

i love japanese festivals i ate so much food omg.

anyways heres me the assistant n here sister i know the assistant is turning away but i look nice in this pic lol and its a nice background

everyone split up so i was with the new girl and we both took a crapload of pics cuz this is still new to both of us

i bought some churros n omg they were to die for

and some choco banana~~~

oh yeah there was this cute guy working at some kiddie booth i told her i'm like 'psst isnt that guy there cute?' and shes like where?? and couldnt find him even though hes right there but yeah she thought he was attractive too but he was wearing a face mask so idk maybe hes actually not as good looking but idk

heres some kawaii cotton candy

idk y i took this pic but why not.

we didnt play any of the games cuz we just spent all our money on food

but i really wanted one of those kiddie masks but DANG they cost $8 like i thought itd be around 500 yen but eehhhh... plus i didnt really know who i wanted cuz there were so many to choose from!!!

and then we both wanted takoyaki but most were like 400-500ish yen for 8. but i know i saw a stand for 12 takoyakis for 500 yen while we walked to the shrine and yeah we eventually found it and bought. but i guess ur suppose to add on the mayo but the guy just handed it to use in the bag n stuff

we all were suppose to meet up back at the salon at 8:10 we came a little later but the boss didnt show til lie 8:45 so me n the new girl ate our food with out everybody cuz we hungryyy

but its like you can prob eat more but the yukata is tight so ur stomach cant expand n u feel fuller than you really are

anyways after everything we say goodbye and me n the assistant n her sister went to take purikura looking kawaii

then the next day me n the new girl went back to the festival cuz its a 2 day thing but dressed normally. and at this other choco banana place u get to roll this dice and i got like the highest numbers possible so i got 2 bananas for the price of 1 yay but i ended up giving the other to her friend that came along cuz i bought a ton of  food and got so full

hmm yeah n theres this new guy at forever21 in the stock with me n hes kinda cute but hes wearing a mask so IDK but hes really tall n has nice hair so thats always good

and my fav purple hair boy idk if he works here anymore i havent seen him in 4ever but he has a gf so whatever

kk bye

diabolik lovers cafe!

like about 2 weeks ago i went to the diabolik lovers cafe in shibuya!!!

i forced my 2 guy friends to come along cuz i dont know any females who like that stuff so whatever they didnt seem to mind even though they were the only guy customers lol

i didnt know u can make reservations but we were able to get in without one cuz even though it was golden week it was before ppl started eating dinner so they had space for us :)

 inside was posters of all the characters. there were 2 areas, the sakamaki brothers and mukami brothers areas. we were in the mukami brothers

i still havent finished the last 2 eps of more blood i need to watch it with brooke >_<

the tables had these mat things of characters too

we looked through the menu n im like 'ok everybody must get something different so we can try it out and take pics ect' lol

anyways the ordering system was similar to the otomate cafe cuz u have to check what u want on a piece of paper. but the total was combined but whatever

first up is the drinks. i ordered ayatos sadistic cherry cola and my friend got laitos pervert green macha drink

my drink was just cola with some cherry sauce stuff that you mix in. nothing really special it looked really different from the picture. and i hate macha but the macha drink wasnt too bad. it was very subtle so i can prob drink it. but he didnt like it so gave to the other friend

and food!!!

i got um maybe ruki's? dish i forgot but its roast beef and rice and salad. there was some shredded raddish or something on top but blegh tossed that to the side.

then my friend got azusas dish which was like a seafood rice dish. there was a proper name for this but i forgot and dont feel like looking it up

the other friend got yumas pumpkin soup. it was strong japanese pumpkin taste

and with everything u buy u get a coaster with it. so they all gave me theirs besides the doubles lol

now for dessert!

i got kanatos teddy parfait

like i absolutely hate this kid but whatever i aint got nothing against the bear(though it was funny when azusa threw it in the fire LOL)

the bear was caramel ice cream and theres whipped cream n the rest is corn flakes

my friend got uh i forgot who's cake thing. i THINK laito but idkkk. i was thinking of getting this but he ordered first so im like ok

then the other got subarus white rose cake and LOL it was SO SMALL but his was the most expensive(prob cuz the strawberries). we both felt so bad cuz ours are cheaper n bigger and his cake isnt anything special. like we didnt want to try it cuz its not really big enough to share but hes like dont pity men stuff so i took a tiny little piece but yeah. nothing fancy. poor guy

anyways heres all the coasters i got(excluding doubles)

im glad i got the good ppl(besides kanato n maybe azusa) thank god didnt get reiji ew

anyways heres some pics inside cuz why not

the mukami area

sakamaki area.

there were 2 girls eating there so could only take a small corner to take a pic of so i dont look like a creeper

and there was a notebook to write a message or draw  or whatever. i drew laito really fast so i looks crappy but whatever and my friend drew a random dead person so i labeled it as yui

and out in front of the cafe are card board cut outs!!!

eeeppp yeah there were girls waiting for their time to eat i guess so had to wait for them to leave to take the pic

there was also a form you can fill out to win one of these i filled it out for laito not that im gonna get it and if i do not like i can bring it to america lol just for the heck of it

but yeah overall i still think the otomate cafe is better cuz they have more food and is more reasonably priced. this is kinda expensive but whateverrr when it comes to this stuff just take my money seriously 

its been TOO LONG!

Ok its been AGES since i posted cuz ive been busy plus lazy

anyways got a months worth of things to cover!

so sometime last month i went to stay over my grandmas house

the main purpose to go was to give her these sweets my mom wanted me to buy for her...but i forgot them at my house!!!!! like the moment i walked through her doors im like OH MY GOD did i really just do that!??? yeah i felt bad....

but anyways i had a nice good dinner and bath. and she bought me SAKURA PEPSI!!!

dude i was so shocked how she casually handed to to me cuz ive been searching everywhere for this but no stores where i live sell it. but omg it was SO GOOD like i wish i can find more so i can buy like 10 to stock up. but it said its only sold in april so its all gone...at least i got to try it

the next day went shopping!!! at the thrift store there was some utapri towels for like $4!! and brand new whooooppp!!!! so had to buy. i couldve gotten one more for my roommate cuz she LOVES uta no prince sama buuuuuut....saikin anata wa pisu mi offu desu so naw. rubbed it in her face though to make her jelly im so mean but yeah, just some things she does bugs me that shes not changing so whateves 

and i always go bra shopping at this cheap store near my grandmas cuz u can buy a bra/panty set for like $6 thats so cheap n theyre cute. but i dont like the really frilly ones cuz i dont wear lots of layers so you can see through it and just makes ur boobs lumpy looking n stuff so i like the more basic ones. anyways i bought this bra thats like super push up and i actually have the cleavage line its incredible. but i dunno man. like the entire time i was in the store there was this old guy that just 'happened' to be everywhere i went. i dunno if he was following me or what. like he always seemed to be like within 20 feet of me. when i was in the changing room which are really flimsy and stuff he was like 10 feet away 'looking' at the stuff there but its like he didnt even buy anything. and when i went out and was done, he happened to be outside too. and i just kinda waited outside on my phone waiting for my mom to respond and he left, but when i went on the bike to leave, he was just chilling in his car wtf. was he waiting to follow me or something? but if he did he lost me cuz the traffic so ha

but idk it was just kinda creepy

but yeah that day was really nice and i rode a bike but omg my legs were DEAD by the time i was back home in bed. mostly my thigs like i couldnt walk im really outta shape

anyways at this one store there were these hakuouki socks and of course i want kazama but they only had heisuke in stock so i bought him anyways. i rode my bike aaallll the way to this other store like 30 min away but they didnt have any what a waste of time. but my mom told my aunt in the countryside and she said she bought more for me eeeepppp!! not too many baka girls who like that stuff there i guess

so a little later i wanted to go eat these kamigami no asobi crepes in shibuya after work. i force zac to come along cuz i dont want to be a loser and buy this by myself. he just buys a regular cheap crepe and i get the japanese gods crepe. its blueberry flavor and comes with a random card and i got one of my favorites yay

and a little later went to diabolik lovers cafe but i'll make a seperate post on that

so i find out the purple hair guy has a gf already so i guess its impossible for me to be with him ah well

during golden week in japan i worked the whole time. dont really care thats what i do 

but it PISSED ME OFF how when everyone else gets off day, its like PERFECT WEATHER. ok for golden week its like a bunch of holidays in a row so basically a week off. except monday and friday cuz office ppl still had to work but anyways. monday is my off day and i dont remember if it rained but it was prob cloudy or whatever just not nice weather. tues-thurs is SO NICE like blue sky lots of sunshine perfect to go outside n do stuff but im stuck inside. then when ppl go back to work on friday its raining. then when they have off days on the weekend its sunny again. then back to monday is raining like WTFFFFFF its so not fair!!!!!!

i honestly dont think theres been one monday since i started working that has been a completely sunny day all day. its usually raining or cloudy. or if im lucky cloudy with SOME sunny times here n there. buncha BS if u ask me. i really miss taking walks n stuff but i dont wanna do that when the weather is crap. appearantly next monday is suppose to be nice but WE'LL SEE...

anyways redid my nails as 999 themed. my fav game ever. the whole series destroyed me srsly 10/10 recommend it will mess u UP

i did these cuz the 3rd game is coming out next month WAAAAAHHHH!! and some fans are getting together to make a book to give to the creator with random stuff about the game. most ppl will do drawing but im like ohhh i'll do nail art.

i wouldve liked to have my nails longer but dang forever21 just ruins them. my right hand index and thumb finger are breaking like every month is sucks so much

ANYWAYS here they are!

dude that zero (character) tho like holy crap i was like crying before i even began to draw cuz i had no idea where to even start. i was just like im gonna wing it and somehow i think it came out really good. not perfect but i dont think its crappy. dude the thumb alone took 2 1/2 hours cuz im trying to get really fine lines plus i had no idea what i was doing so yeah

and akane idk she doesnt really look the same as the picture but whateverrrrrr

and by the time i drew junpei i was already over it so didnt add lots of shading n stuff to make him look nicer plus i was using my left hand to draw so im like hehehe no.

and of course gotta do funyarinpa~

speaking of nails i foud another job at a nail salon that i have an interview thing next monday. if i get this job im gonna have to quit the one i work at which i feel BAD cuz its understaffed but like the nail job is a hair salon too, and its better pay, and im doing more instead of just handing clips and holding foil. plus its in the harajuku area so i can get a pass to shibuya instead of buying tickets all the time and yadda yadda

i mean i dont mind the assistant job i have i didnt plan to leave i just stumbled across this ad but its just a better opportunity so why not?

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

sick

so quick updates:

im sick. i got sick from salon job. on saturday night i noticed my throat was getting sore then snday my throat was on FIRE the whole day. prob cuz you gotta touch pl n stuff like with massages. it its just head n back whatever but u gotta do arm massages too which is dumb like what does that do with the head but yeah so ppl could be coughing on their hands n i gota touch it. i usually wash my hands after but sometimes u dont gt time but idk im 90% sure thats how i got this cold. i missed 2 days of work at forever so far. im taking today off cuz my nose n eyes r getting watery n im sneezing alot. yesterday i PROBABLY couldve worked but i was just tired n didnt feel like exhausting myself. i hope im good enough tomorrow i feel really bad taking days off

a while ago finally saw lightning from FF12 on a louis vuitton ad. glad im in japan to witness this first hand. idk if they do this too in other countries

anyways, so last tuesday i hung out with martina in ikebukuro since shes leaving like today or tomorrow and i wanted to see her one last time

when we met we ate lunch first and theres this fish n chips place i found online that looks good and reasonably priced only at ikebukuro and i wanted to try it. it took a while to find even though we were literally down the street just walking in circles but it was delish and very cheap. gotta eat there everytime i go to ikebukuro now

then looking at anime merch i bought a mini hakuouki blanket and i found a rubber strap of senkimaru waahhh!!!! im so glad

after ikebukuro went back to shibuya to meet up with some of her friends. i saw jon for a bit too before he had to go to dinner with his other friends. anyways went to mandrake to look around then went to 109 to eat some pancakes

they look pretty but theyre really nothing special. took like 20 minutes to get and kinda expensive and ive tasted better. whatever. the ice cream was good tho

anyways so yeah then on thursday met up with jon and idris for sushi. i was kinda nervous since i havent talked to idris in months cuz the gf incident and i was kinda ignoring him for the first while but after a while it was like old times. tho i was still mean to him at times cuz he deserved it. so after sushi went to book off and i bought 2 new dresses then we met up with jons friend and went to the arcade together. me n jon are planning on doing hanami but idk about the weather i took monday and tuesday off just in case cuz its ALWAYS crap weather on monday and monday only but nt its monday AND tuesday wtf why does the weather hate me? and the other days are no rain. just those 2 days thats a bunch of bs. im praying everyday that its gonna be nice weather at least one of those days cuz thats my last chance really and i didnt get to do hanami last year cuz weather was bad and also school

anyways so jon n hs friend split then me n idris hung around and got some boba and caught up on life. so i guess we are friends again but i still told him i lost a lot of respect for him n stuff but it was nice hanging out like old times

work work work

always working so not much to update

earlier this month at forever21 had to go to some physical exam thing at the harajuku store. but yeah im all healthy. its a really good job i get good benefits the only bad thing is once i turn in my schedules its hard to change them. like that one voice recording company that pays a lot asked if i can join them on the 16th or 1th and a little more than a week advanced i asked not to take off just start a little later but they said no. like plzzzzz theres plenty of ppl to work one person startng like 3 hours later aint gonna make a difference. so i had to turn down a $100 job for 2 hours of reading....thats more than i make in a day at regular work

anyways OMG THE TRAILER FOR ZERO ESCAPE 3 CAME OUT THIS WEEK N I DIED

like i literally died.

i was just screaming and fangirling my heart was racing i couldnt breathe omg it was amazing. so much excitement. dude just watching the trailer got me effed up im ready to get destroyed. like honestly i must buy a vita or 3DS(prob vita cuz otome games lol) cuz i actually want to PLAY THIS. like i borrowwed 999 from my friend and got rekt but for vlr i didnt have the systems so i watched the entire game online cuz i mean its 90% reading anyways only game play is solving puzzles but i skipped those parts. but this time i really wanna play it. they say it will be on steam later but i dont really like playing pc games besides pixel horror. if its for an actual hand held console id rather play it on that. so yeah need to buy it and i wanna get it as soon as it comes out so i can cry about it to my friend who already preordered a long time ago

anyways so i also but my nails cuz my right index finger just keeps breaking. i even put a fake nail on it and the fake nail ended up cracking too....

my friend jon from hong kong is back in japan for 3 weeks so i will hang out with him a bit while hes here. and on tuesday i asked for a day off cuz i need to extend my visa so they had to give me an off day for that yay. so i do that in the morning hen afterwards i go to ikebukuro with my friend cuz i wanna buy more hakuouki trash. for the first time in months tomorrow(monday) WONT rain. like my one day off on mondays always has crap weather then the next day its nice n sunny but i got work. lke its suppose to be kinda cloudy with some sun but hey no rain. so maybe i take a walk idk i feel like im getting fat lately cuz in the day i dont eat much but when i get home i inhale all this junk food and at work i mean im always standing but not really exersizing. since i never go anywhere anymore i dont walk much so yeah feel fat

oh n that japanese guy at work i thought was cute has a gf. not that anything wouldve happened with us anyways but :(
