Somewhat packing finally ^^;;

I realised playing with Minou these few days has given me some bruises on my left knee XD;; I laughed myself silly XP

I'll be on hiatus for a week, starting tomorrow.

Wee~ My first Jap movie without subtitles. And it's a Heian period to boot~

Omg. Onmyouji II is gorgeous. The crossdressing is impressive too, and actually elegantly beautiful - the dance ritual I mean *___*

Luckily I'm comfortable with "guy-talk". If I have been watching something like Oku, I would have been ?___? But this movie is just fine :D

The DVD I bought in 2007's winter. Haa~ So someone finally watched it, ho~ I got it in Tokyo but was happy to find it with subtitles, but then I have no idea how to operate the theater system here, so I had to goe without the subtitles...

Moving out tomorrow, not exactly packing now XD

Happy New Year everyone!! And a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! ^^ to keksimonsteri :D

Going to the Hokkaido Jinja later in the afternoon. Now having our brunch, and me stuffing myself with daigakuimo :D

Fatigue accumulated from our past days in Tokyo is almost nursed. Returned back on the night of the 30th, and you ask how was Comiket? It was splendid. If this is not the last Comiket I attend, I'll most probably just travel again for the winter one. Apart from being satisfied by the amount of DJs one carries home, the more exciting details are the one that thrills me even now. Indirectly received Inariya-sensei's message on a postcard after passing the omiyage to her one of her assistants. Once again, Sensei had managed to sneak away from her booth lol. But I guess she was expecting some gifts from her fans, and hence the prepared postcards. Managed to see Miyamoto-sensei again, though this time we didn't talk for too long. When I actually thought I had brought along my sketch book for nought, Higuri-sensei did a sketch of Keita for me <3 Sensei is such an elegant lady! Will give more details when I return (and work on the blog entries).

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!

Found it!!!! *spazzes*



Went out for some groceries/stuff at a nearby drugstore and found it. I could not suppressed an "ah!", but wutever. I FOUND IT.

OMG!! ^_________________________________^

Skin is finally starting to peel. Ha, that's for the bad sunburn, ahaha. But I survived the three days, and that being my very first time, I can say I do feel proud (but of course, actually more of SHIAWASE deshuuu <3).

The posts and photos are coming right up, though this time I should be posting them in a very different way. They should be ready after August? (After I finish with my first bulk of recitals/exams accompaniments.)

( My stash before and after unpacking (sort of) )

Me back! Our plane touched down around 1am this morning... but Mum didn't wanna goe home yet (till in vacation mood I can see lol) so we stayed at the airport still I'm barely awake... Got a cab home around 5am. Geez, okasaaaan... <3

Anyway unwrapped the Onmyouji artbook (very very pretty~~~ and better than the available scans...!!) and Love Core at the airport just to entertian myself... Though Mum didn't wanna get home too soon, I was dying to, to unpack all my loot. Moi loot? Well, the baggage limit is one luggage to a person, so hand-carry wise it was FIVE IN TOTAL minus Mum's oversized bag. And 95% of everything is MY stuff. :DDD *dies in bliss* Two paperbags to carry the big-sized artbooks - plus *something special* (kyaaaa~~~ <3333), the rest are all books - I've lost count of how many I bought, but I'm slowly unwrapping them now so we'll know the number count soon *__*

(And that *something special* = the YA-sensei SCB - yeesh, moi found it *squiggles in hanaji*)

However there's always something to dread after coming home - f-list. T_____T I even dare not check up YD or TSK yet... There will be so many things to catch up on... -_____-

*back to unpacking*

Hello! Or rather, I made it! I know this came a month late from what I promised, but I finally managed to finish posting the Japan part of last year's winter vacation. The photos were a pain to upload, but now I'm glad I made it time, just before I leave for Tokyo (again lol!) tomorrow.

Just some warning before you start clicking the links away: I didn't realise I am such a photo whore trigger-happy person. I'd shoot at anything, and as a result, the daily photo count went up to 300+. I have reduced them to the most 100-ish photos per day for you... Just don't kill me for eating up your bandwidth or anything ;__;

Anyhow, enjoy~ These posts are definitely more exciting than the Texas ones~~!

I'll work hard over this month for the Japan part ne? Gonna wrecked my memories for this; I didn't make any notes when I was there ;___;

Stay tuned~~

Lebewohl, meine Freunde...!

In the end I had like only 1 hour plus of sleep? Lol. I was chatting with Judy-chan, then... I went on for some hanaji session (yes, at the eleventh hour I finished all 4 current volumes of VF!!! Whahahaha...) followed by tonight's School Rumble Nigakki episode. Muaha. Loooove the series. Always. So silly.

Basically I wasn't actually excited or anything. It was more of geez... I'm gonna "zhuo bo" (do nothing in dialect) on the plane and I don't wanna just spend the remaining time... sleeping more! Lol. I'm really really dreading the 17 hours flight my dears. >_<

Eeks.

I hope I can survive this.

P.S. I'll be updating here as regularly as possible, depending on how frequent I can access the Internet over in the States, but the Christmas week I'll be completely cut off from cyberspace. So for now, ciao-ciao. ♥

NO MORRRRRRRE WORK!!!! All is done, and done is all. Yay yay yay yay yay~~~

Since I wanted to slack around and have fun, I decided to pack everything tonight. And it feels like my flight is tomorrow? Lol. And now I worry not having enough space for the stuffies I'm gonna bring back... coz throwing in the boots means leaving a quarter of my luggage for my (and friends') shopping list. Oh shitto.


Und... wenn mir langweilig ist. ss ist egal, ob du findest das nutzlos. Hmm hmm... ich habe mehr nicht zu tun; es ist so fruchtbar!!! DX ich habe die Woerter von La Traviata nicht erinnern. Die Lieder im Spieler nicht... whatever. Und alles fehlt nicht real? Letzte Woche habe ich gedacht... "das kommt bald! das kommt wirklich bald! nur etwas eine Woche zu warten!"... und jetzt? "wirklich? es fehlt, ob es einem Traum ist... wieniger als sechunddreissig Stunden... und ich hier nicht mehr waere? es ist nicht die Realitaet! aber, aber... noch aber..." dann du fragst - diese verrueckte Maedchen (:p) schreibt jetzt auf Deutsch! und warum? ...weil ich mache mich die Sorgen, dass ich die Sprache vergessern werden... zwei Wochen in einem Land, wo (nur) Englisch gesprochen wird, und dann noch eine Woche in meiner Lieblingsland, darin anderen Fremdsprache mann spricht!

...es ist nur eine Illusion, oder...?

ich fuehle komisch. hmm hmm. aber es ist auch meinen Traum. So.

I feel so drugged... :(

But I will still work tomorrow... because I need that to replenish my monies when I return from Japan? I just public-posted my shopping list, and it looks grim... meaning, I'll really come back either with a overload charge, or under "broke" status, or arrrgh... even both.

The list took months to accumulate! Maybe that was a bad idea after all. But I'm still taking in requests... if there's anything you want me to bring back for you. (Er... that only applies to people who knows me in real life, okay? Email me will be better, so I can sort out things like "where to find them" and the whatnots with you.) At least that saves me the headache of struggling with what to give you dears as Christmas presents... And yep, I'm returning the day after Christmas... so not too late deshou?

But I'm struggling with the medicine right now - because I have been sleeping the whole afternoon - and refuse to follow its call to bed again... =___= Reading emails is baaaad... Especially dealing with work and hotel reservation emails... I went a thousand times "huh...?" fighting with the drowiness...

Our hotel in Tokyo is settled. And the Kyoto one...? Basically I'm still deciding between two... one harder to meander through, and perhaps dangerous at late hours, but pretty. The other had accepted our reservation and late hour check-in, very convenient location, but 250 bucks (local currency) more expensive and less of its ryokan ambience... Hmm hmm... Let's see how the further-located one will reply first... Coz I really wanna save as much money as possible? My expenses up to date (and my vacation has not even started!) is starting to alarm me... very much indeed.

Anyhow, everything is running in schedule. Rough itinerary 90% done, luggage needs still more clothes to be dumped into, wait for the ryokan's reply, and then, to gather my yens... Everything else is done. First time travelling independently, so I'm more excited than any other past trips. Me no noob at free-and-easy planning though... the previous trips to south Germany was all my work, so no fear in a non-English speaking country. I'm more worried about having to look after Storyteller... :)

Think it'll be fun though.

*jawfloor*

I am so going here...

Wanted to post this exclamation on Saturday evening - I'M FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! - but I was kinda... er... distracted.

Har har.

Never mind that now. I look at the remaining workload, and yeesh, I can finally breathe. Though a little proud S wants me back as her accompanist coz her current one is doing a terrible job (I'm just quoting her), but it might mean that my birthday celebration with dear friends might be somewhat spoiled.

Yep yep. Seemingly free after Saturday, demo, once I looked at what I should be doing now in the remaining weeks, I gasped. And my poor wallet when I think of the "wants" I recently popped out.

- Need a new lappie. I love my current lappie right now, but basically it's because of that Steinway keyboard (lol). Demo, I really really look forward to the day I can finally watch video files without technical lags and open simultaneous windows without it crashing down on me. Yeah, you get what I mean...? But I never hated my current lappie still...

- Need a new phone. My previous SE gave up on me... the phone is intact and working... BUT THE 'ON/OFF' BUTTON HAS DECIDED TO STAND UP AGAINST ME! T___T So I went back to my old Samsung phone... the screen used to white out a few months ago (the second time sigh and I refused to send it for repair again) but suddenly it was working alright. Still I live in fear yanno... So I still crave for a trendy phone... but all the models that hit on me seems to be on the four-figure range. WTH...

Demo, demo. I'll have to push all these money-eating >:EEEE plans to next year. Since I guess most of the people around me already knew, no use keeping it off this LJ already. I'm going away next month for a loooong serious vacation. Japan and the States. And spending Christmas in Tokyo. And I've never travelled during winter, meaning there's a lot of necessities I don't have ready at hand.

Basically meaning more money flying off.

( Hear the coat-hunting story *yawns* )

The statement (air ticket's) was a bomb, man. Then there are still countless things to get... within these remaining three weeks! A big black bag and gloves. Not to mention more serious matters, like the rail pass and accommodations... I think I'll eventually goe over 10K for this trip, shopping inclusive. Er... I'm to celebrate?
