So much happned since last I blogged, and I felt like I needed to take a break to take it all in.
Two weeks before I had to leave for Denmark, Rosa, Cheris, Marie and I went to Harajuku to do some shopping! The two girls needed new shoes and dresses for clubbing the day after! Rosa found some shoes... Dresses? not so much haha.
And I managed to film a tutorial with my Harajuku day out make up!
More selca haha.
Of cause we had to have a crepé in Harajuku! They are just so amazing!! nom nom nom //getting hungry all over now haha
The day after we went to a goodbye dinner for John at a themed Izakaya in Kokubunji and then out clubbing at Jokers in Roppongi!
I wanted to try something more colourful with my make up, think it turned out ok. But I am still not that good with colours :X
And got to wear my new tight black dress, I love it so much!
Akasaka station, from when I went to eat Kobe beef with my friend Junko. It reminded me of Gantz... oh yea!
The same day I got out to get some gifts for my family. Of cause I got things for my little sister in a Sanrio Gift Gate!
My final haul from Donki! Oh yea!
And then came the leaving day :C
'
My last round of gyoza :C they were SO GOOD!
Plane dinner.
And light snack.
Arriving home, finishing my Japan adventure!
I just made a vlog with some more in depth stuff about the travel and all, so check it out here!
Getting home means I finally got to a country where I could dye my hair a proper RED! So I hurried out and got myself some dye, and Kami helped my dye it all!
Before the dye job.
Me being a charmer during.
And after result from last Friday! It is such a nice deep red, I love it so much! Def. getting this again if it is still on sale... haha cheep ass desu
- also wearing the long t-shirt I got in my Ghost of Harlem Lucky Bag {2013}. Hopefully I will do a detailed shoot down of the items I got in it, just to show off all the pretty!
And ending with a shot of my valentines nails. What can I say, even romantic stuff needs an edge in my world!
After New Years eve (and a day of death) Kami and I decided to go to Shibuya!~ It was not so funny though, because the places we wanted to go was just JAM PACKED with people, so we went home rather fast.
At 'home', we went to Studio Alta and I got myself a new bag, and after that we went to Marui-One where I FINALLY got myself some earmuffs and completed my Graffiti Bunny Weekday series! I just love her way of drawing, it is amazing!!
We also stopped by Claire's where I got myself some rings and ear bling! I really love the Panda ones I got, they are so cute I think haha!
We returned the day after, where there were much less people and it was just a lot nicer to be there!
In Tokio Hands they had a Moomin special floor, RIGHT IN THE CHILDHOOD. All the stuff I wanted... (I am in the process of collecting all the Moomin mugs I can get my hands on, so passing these babies over was SO hard. Like, they had the proper tea mug size and all! - I only have the coffee ones boo boo)
Our Shibuya lunch! The most filling pasta dish I have gotten so far! Meat sauce with mushrooms.
But the table next to us was so awkward... Like... hell, you can see the video, we talk about it. And are awkward about it too haha.
More Shibuya shopping! Here you can see my lovely comfy socks, thigh high and all! I really do not know how I would have survived winter without these babies, best buy so far!
Make up and hair from a day where we went to Ikebukoro! (something we do quite a lot... haha)
We found Spinnes had a outlet in Ikebukoro so of cause we RAN in there and brought some things. I got a cat ear bowler hat for 500 Yen which is SO cheap I dun even!! And I am really glad I got it, re-found my love for wearing hats.
And tights. You can never have enough.
And we went to get some Japanese curry for lunch, and as always it was SO good! This one is the からあげカレー (karaage karê - fried chicken curry)
Then the big D-day came! We went to Tokyo Disney Resort and it was SO much fun!!
We did not get to try that many rides (we tried: Peter Pan's Flight, Pirates of the Caribbean, Captain EO 3D Experience ft. Michael Jackson and the Rescue Rangers roller coaster) but we did manage to see two parades (half of the midday one and the electric parade) and the most amazing thing: a musical performance. I am SO glad we got to see the musical because it featured a bit with Peter Pan (and their Peter was quite cute) and it also had a Villain part with (And now hold your horses if you like Disney Villains): The Evil Queen from Snow White (two versions), Frollo (!!) from the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. The fact they had Frollo in the show just made me loose my shits because I really like his character and the Hunchback of Notre Dame is my favorite Disney movie.
We went home around 6 and ate ramen at one of our favorite gyoza restaurants back in Shinjuku. I felt so ill on the way home though. I have had three elastics just pressing against my stomach and in the night it just started to hurt so bad I wanted to cry of pain :C but eating some warm soup really helped! (and cuddeling with my cute Cheshire Cat must also have helped!)
And have some hair and make up from the last day we went to Harajuku! The necklace I am wearing in the last picture is a gift Kami got me, she is waaay too good to me! *feels*
AAAAND some shopping was done in Harajuku too. Woops~
The day before Kami went home I took her out to a 焼肉食べ放題 (yakiniku tabehoudai - all you can eat grilled meat) because I really wanted her to try it! and the food was SO good and we just ate so much we could have rolled home haha!
Then the sad day came where I had to send her home :C I almost cried in the train because I missed her so much. It is hard saying goodbye to the most amazing girl in my life after having spend 20 days with her. But I am so glad she came over, it was just what I needed to get me going again!
Which is good because when she went home, I had to start studying for finals!! They are all over now (ended last Thursday, but then booze happened and stuff... ulululu)
I have no idea what my final result will be but for grammar and listening I scored 80% (a little lower than I wanted) and my literature essay got me an A, so so far so good. I get all my results in April (:CCCCCCC)
And now some random Tamadaira snaps!
A dessert Koni-sempai made for us, it was really good, even though I have no idea what it was!
AND SNOOOOOW!!! I was SO happy waking up to this! I really thought I would go a whole winter without seeing snow, but then the weather came through for me! (And I got in such a Christmassy mood haha)
And that's about it for now... And I am ALMOST up to date with my pictures now, so I am just left with a lot of videos haha. I shall do my best with finishing them asap! and I am leaving in like 11ish days, it is SO surreal...
Sorry for just upping and laving like this with no word here, but as Christmas drew nearer, my days were just so stressed and I had to do a ton of things before Kami came over, and when she was here, I did not want to spend my time editing pictures and such :C
But on with it!
To start out, some food from the cafeteria!
ハンバーガ (hamburger, hanburger style aka no bun)
チキンサンド (chicken sando, really good sandwitch with fried chicken and mayo)
カレー (karê, Japanese curry and rice)
付け面 (tsukemen - cold noodles with a warm soup you dip it in)
And I did make it to Yoshinoya and got a 焼肉丼 (yakiniku don, grilled beef rice bowl)//It was SO good!!
One of the days before Christmas, I went to 八王子 (Hachiouji) with Mike to get me a new hand luggage sized suitcase, I could use for when Kami came over! And ofc I had to dress up a little for that, you know me!
Before I went home I also went to マツモト・キヨシー (Matsumoto Kiyoshi) and got myself a proper nose contouring colour, and I am SO happy with it! It makes is much easier to contour without having it looking like you got a dirty nose.
I also went to Tama Center a little while before I left for Shinjuku, to get myself a new party dress. You gotta look proper when you go to 六本木 (Roppongi)
Me and Cheris camwhoring before going out, best idea everです
I also got SICK of how dry and damaged my hair felt, so I tried to by this Tsubaki Oil. I have tried it from Palty hair colours, because they all include some to nourish your hair after you have coloured it, and it makes my hair crazy soft when I use it! I love this product WAY too much. I have to buy a little stash to use at home too.
AND FINALLY THE BIG DAY CAME!
God I had been waiting for this forever! Seeing my darling in the airport was just so unbelievable, like... I almost could not understand I was standing with her arms around me in Japan!
And after that shock died down, I gave her her very own Suica card (prepaid train card) and we were on our way to 新宿 Shinjuku!
This is our hotel room, not that big but big enough, and really cheap compared to how much we got and how good it was located! I quite miss it now haha.
They day after we decided to go to 原宿 to do some shopping.
Just to be a little cultural, we stopped my the 明治神宮(Meiji Shrine), and we were actually lucky enough to catch a wedding going on! But there was just SO many people at 竹下道理 (Takeshita dori) it was quite horrible :C But we still managed to shop a lot though haha!
For lunch, we managed to find this place selling giant たこ焼き (tako yaki, kinda like buns with seafood inside, mostly squid: たこ) It was quite good, but there were just SO much of it!
But look how happy she looks after food was had, naawah!
And ending this whole thing with my gets for that day! Yeah... Went kinda crazy... I REGRET NOTHING THOUGH
If you wanna see more from our tour of Harajuku, watch the vlog we made for that day!
Take care until next time, I still have a lot of pictures left to edit! (thank got for finals coming up soon)
