V Kanon: June 2019

I'm such an old lady with backache 😂

ok may be a weird way (?) to start a blog post but that's my feeling now 😂

my partner isn't home today -> so I get to monopolize his working table----

or else i'd need to seiza aka kneel on the floor to do my work 😂

tbh same goes when i'm at my own place though 😂

ok i'm not here to complain about my back now 😂time to get to real work 😂

update from last Tuesday (when I last posted here!)

Tuesday evening; finished main post -> my mind was in a noise -> typed in the train on my way to meet my partner & posted! -> dinner -> home

Wednesday went to my friend's newly opened restaurant :D

posted quick update in Twitter and IG story to support!

then school..

ate too much for lunch + weather super hot that i felt a bit of nausea 😂

thus for dinner i made cold noodle; super simple with a lot of ready stuff from super market!

Thursday morning was Thai class -> part time job -> home -> dinner!

It was raining from 5PM and the rain continued till the whole Friday!

school -> home -> gym -> dinner -> home!

and today's Saturday!

super good weather!

But after going out for....6 days in a row? Since last Sunday?

V IS JUST SUPER HAPPY TO BE HOME 😂

my partner's gone for surfing again -> woke up @ 10 -> went to Lawson

My partner took photo of this pudding sandwich that I've been wanting to eat

I think he took it at 7AM when he just left

I thought the sandwich is not on sale anymore since I never see it anyomre

But I guess apparently it's just still popular that when I went at 10, it was gone Orz

Grabbed KNY Nezuko collab choco bread -> yoga!

been 2 weeks since my last practice as last week I went to school & my friend didn't hold it on Sunday

I requested for more core work when my core is actually hurting today 😂

I'm such an M but i'm always so happy when my core hurts from gym 😂

then I found out that yoga before lunch felt super good!

as in AM is better for working out ;w;

that's why I'm enjoying my 9.30 dance class too ;w;

that's why I enjoyed gym at 10 back in Medan too ;w;

i think i sweat better + not so full from lunch or brunch---

finished yoga -> posted video to YouTube IG FB -> did online and offline post & daily scheduling!

then made lunch!

rice is leftover from yesterday + fried egg & mapo tofu = actually enough for 3 people but V gotta eat everything today 😂

slacked for an hr -> recording work that i've delayed for 3 weeks ;-; -> costests that i've delayed for 3 weeks but the last chara I'm just tired already + no exact plan so I didn't take any selfie

and my active (?) day is my excuse of a backache 😂

Alright! Let's finish up this blog

then I'll do dinner, shower, and start on blog for tomorrow as I'll be going to friend's place for game after morning yoga!

hopefully I got time to do some hw too 😂

(not procrastinating as the deadline is in 10 days XD)

Let's travel back to June 2019!

as I mentioned in my previous post, my May 2019 had mixture of June 2019 photos and this post have mixture of July 2019 photos 😂

vanilla twilight from near my home!

tbh not a good habit but 80% of the time I'm walking alone, I would be stuck on my phone

there was once an ojiichan scolded me 😂

but sometime it's the only time i have for my phone ;w;

but I agree that it's dangerous

plus I may miss such beautiful view!

HYDE at nearby McD!

and solo karaoke time!

time for beautiful but killing fashion (?) item 😂

at the end I gave in to my temptation and pre-ordered Aladdin collaboration shoes from Diana!

at first I thought I wouldn't get it on the release day but I received a call on the day itself XD

Lucky I only had morning class -> went to pick it up right away

I remember exactly that it was a rainy day but all for love (?) 😂

and as the second photo shows; IT AINT COMFY 😂

top from my cousin, jeans from Thailand, bag from Samantha Thavasa, shoes from Diana

ALL NEW 😂

and hydrangea!

I also bought Aladdin collab bag from Samantha Thavasa 😂

I really can't hide my love for Jasmine?

TBH I really like Arabian night, Middle East theme!

went to watch Utapri movie -> more solo karaoke of Utapri songs XD

i actually watched Utapri movie twice!

once alone, another with a friend!

it ain't exactly a movie, as it's more of a live concert

thus only performances

and there are 2 available viewing; for cheering (you can make noise & wave light stick) or just watch normally

I think both I went to the normal one?

the songs were so good that right away I went to Animate but it's sold out ;w;

random sign board by Yusa-san? :D

when I went to watch alone, I went to Piccadilly, which is right behind Animate

but it was sold out 😂

I ended up getting it online!

Utapri collab menu at Coco curry!

I actually changed religion from Coco curry to another and only visit Coco when my parents are around but that collab attracted me 😂

though at the end i didn't choose the toppings according to my husbandos 😂

at the end, for V it's taste > husbando 😂

had Thai food gathering~

Phat Kaphrao & fried egg~

and just more Thai cooking 😂

fried egg, tomyum fried rice and spring roll~

boba fever -> tried out chatime -> not v's fave :(

Mai-senpai at Big Camera!

i went to watch the movie too----

but beside my love for Mai-senpai, tbh i don't remember exactly anymore what the movie was about..

Mai-senpai still best girl-----

Photo stash for memory :D

I love them all X)

the girls <3

when I posted about my orientation overnight trip, I mentioned that school made us go for another overnight trip

I thought that trip was in October / November but apparently it happened in June @w@

This time it's not the whole school but just per class~

5 minutes before dozing off? 😂

we went to Kawaguchiko

aka where i went for my partner's birthday trip back in April XD

but June = rainy season in Japan = so gloomy 😂

we were in a place like private villa with tennis? court and indoor sports room

our schedule was reached -> lunch? -> practice -> free time -> dinner

the practice was in the indoor sports room

but for our free time, we had no choice but to stay indoor 😂

moreover Vchan just took a nap though 😂

for dinner we had BBQ!

dessert was coffee jelly! later on there was leftover -> I brought one home for my partner 😂

live deer!!!

if it didn't rain on the day we reached (the whole day to be exact), we'd go for a walk on the second day's morning and probably see the lake but teacher just decided to not do it since it's dirty after rain 😂

we were doing this kind of practice

and bonding time?

nah i'm still not close to anyone 😂

this is from school's international student gathering

simply for memory? purpose..

memory? 😂

selfie from a random day :D

queued due to queue (?) but after tasting, didn't worth it 😂

In May 2019, I went to Yokohama's ChinaTown for the first time

tbh i was kinda lonely when i was there, thus i hoped to be able to ride the ferris wheel with my partner one day and it happened in a month 😂

this time, i introduced him to my Palestine friends -> Yokohama

to be exact, I didn't visit Yokohama's Pokemon Centre during my first visit, only Animate and Lashinbang.

So it was Pokemon Centre -> ChinaTown -> Ferris Wheel

ok I just remembered more stuff 😂

I was kinda confused by the photos' order but now I remember exactly----

we didn't plan to go Minato Mirai (aka the ferris wheel area) at all!

but from ChinaTown to home, we needed to change train at Minato Mirai

I didn't want to experience the same regret I had when rejecting ferris wheel ride at Odaiba

So out of impulse, I pulled my partner to tap out from the train station and rode the ferris wheel, like 30 mins before it closed 😂

my partner isn't a romantic so i had to force it (?) 😂

but he also ain't bad as he enjoyed it too 😂

yay one less regret in my life 😂

instead of being confused by photos' order, i just don't have any photo from second ChinaTown visit

but i do have funny episode about it 😂

this time, i tried out one of the all you can eat restaurants

during my first visit, i posted in IG story that the all you can eat resto looks delicious

I received a message from my good friend that it's not recommended

it's not that i don't trust her but i just wanted to try one

plus my partner and i were kinda hungry

but we walked a lot to check up a lotttt of resto, though they all look the same

one can barely see the difference but there are some menu that aren't available at some place so we took time choosing based on whether a shop have what we want or not

that's when i start feeling irritated, as i heard one of the shops' staff speaking in Chinese, 'just go in la, how many time you wanna see'

he definitely didn't expect me to understand

but we were already pretty much decided on that shop so we just enter

to be more disappointed 😂

1. my partner realllyyy wanted to eat braised pig trotter -> only to find out that it's sold out WTF

2. we wanted to eat Peking duck -> it came cold and hard WTF 😂

3. we ordered chashu -> it's so red that when we cut it on our plate, the whole plate turned red as if it has been soaked in red food coloring WTF 😂

because of such experience, we have an inside joke that we say whenever we go to TimHoWan;

it tastes better than ChinaTown 😂

went to watch FREE XD

watched on Wednesday!!

FYI, Wednesday is called as Ladies' Day in Japan's cinema that ticket for girls are cheaper :D

actually, as a student, my ticket is already cheaper but Ladies' Day's promotion is even cheaper---

plus I tend to visit only one cinema because I became member, then I can get coupon that gives me discount for normal priced ticket, usually for my partner :D

eye bleach UwU

but tbh i slept halfway, since i'm pretty much have no idea what happened after 2nd? 3rd? season 😂?

too many new characters ;w;

Haru Mako Rin forever my husbandos though XD

cooked oxtail soup! still crave for it!

and Thai chicken rice~

I super love McD's pancake that I bought it for lunch too!

The one at the right is the one available after 11AM; mini pancakes!

Pearl Lady is also one of my fave----

the other one was ok

now I really only go to shops i already confirm I like 😂

the ojisan who sells bread near home is so kind that he gave me 50yen discount before ;w;

V's pun /slapped 😂

went to watch Starry Sky's stage play at Shinagawa! 360degrees view!

ended up using Starry Sky's pillow covers XD

tbh i don't play the whole Starry Sky game (even though I bought the one with my husbandos)

I only listen to some drama CD & bought fan book

but the stage wasn't bad!

Not as strong (?) as Osomatsu stage that made me follow the cast but it made me watch the second play too---

fyi my husbandos are Iku and Koutaro :D

Iku is plainly because of Yusa-san 😂

Koutaro is Ishida Akira but he is a TOTAL HUSBANDO MATERIAL

more FYI, they are 2 of the 3 teacher characters, while the other 9 are all students..

I'm so into older guys 😂

started to play Persona 5----

my PS4 virgin debut is P5 😂

i'm so stuck in the hell that even now i can't really move on 😂

i cosplayed Futaba, did game review video, did game play in YouTube, bought OST CD, watched stage play, bought goods....

totally stuck 😂

after finishing the game (plus Royal and Scramble), at first I thought of playing Yakuza and FF15 and Nier but I can't move on 😂

tbh, I spent 150hrs? on P5 because the first time I played, I got bad end ;-;

then I was so baka that I overwrote my safe data..

So I spent more time playing from the beginning orz

I wondered what attracted me to start though..
It definite have nice art + gorgeous seiyuu list (but don't have my bias..)
I'm not so good with console games as I don't own one, thus I played safe mode
even at the beginning, camera pan was a big difficulty for me 😂
but it was fun ;w;

I even checked out the real place in Sangenjaya XD

This is purely coincidence though 😂

I don't usually go this far, only up to Shibuya but that day, I was (supposed to 😂) attend my school's sport event, which was 30 mins? walk away from Sangenjaya----

Yongenjaya in the game though Xd

I even watched the anime, after giving up once before playing XD

never playing a game with 100hr gameplay before, what i found funny was when my partner and I realized that for more than 50hrs, I haven't even finish the throwback 😂

but yea still i enjoyed it 😂

another beach trip~

this time i practiced my singing and dancing

and as always, acting as good manager 😂

seafood----

wrote my Tanabata wish!!

and from a photoshoot :D

ok it's July 2019 😂

means I still have a lottttt to type 😂

I even already finished my dinner since it's already 8PM 😂

FYI I started typing at 6.30 😂

let's go 😂

First Tanabata in Japan!

at first I didn't wanna write anything, since it's at school

but on a Sunday, when it's my JLPT N1 test day, I happened to pass by school as the bus i need to take is near there

so i secretly went in a write 😂

school was open for open campus but no one yet during that time so yea 😂

my wish was for me and my partner to pass JLPT N1!

tbh i've never had any proper JLPT N1 study before

only a portion when i was staying in Gotanda for 3 months in 2018

but V being V, i can't study unless there's a teacher 😂

so i decided to try out N1, thinking that if I fail = i get a teacher

but i guess, tanabata wish only work for one person?

because i passed 😂

though like N2, i barely passed, not even 60% but still a pass

JLPT's score actually doesn't really matter in daily life

mainly people only care whether you passed or not

and the biggest flaw of JLPT is it's all multiple choice question

it doesn't really test how you speak and write

aka not so useful in real life?

but still, recognizing kanji and understanding are ofc important, since it helps a lot in understanding what you are reading

that's why i think i could pass because i can understand kanji (to be exact some chinese character) = i pretty much understand the comprehension questions

anyway, JLPT N1 cleared 😂

although i alr started Thai (and practiced Mandarin again) since my Golden Week trip to Thailand 😂

(FYI I was just kinda lonely since my partner talks so happily with his friends in Thai 😂 and his family!!)

I actually took another Japanese proficiency test the same year

tbh i don't remember then name but it's more practical, as in there were writing in it

i still passed, with minimum score, but with the writing, that is probably more realistic...?

already so far but the selfie at the right was for my photoshoot

if anyone notice, it's the photo i used 2 months ago for my rebooting blog and twitter announcement

because that photoshoot was for my first in-school audition!

ear ring from Ayako-san, red dress for enthusiasm and the hat i used for Megumi!

having a hat was good to help me in posing!

but the color, i find it hard since background is white 😂

i was praised by the photographer 😂

he thought i learned posing in school but nope, i'm a cosplayer 😂

later on one of my teachers saw it, as he wanted photo for promotional purpose

he said i look so like a spoiled child 😂

act cute mha 😂

act young mha 😂

i failed my audition though 😂

i applied as a seiyuu

we were given 1.5 min per person

so i did 30secs self-intro; finished school in Sg, did cosplay & music in Indonesia, interests are fashion music dance food travel & language, greeting in Eng Ind Mandarin, last was motto of enjoying the current moment

then used the 1 min to read a script that was given

i wore pink with ponytail

input i got is ofc, accent and intonation 😂

then..apparently himecut isn't good = should show ears..

but i was praised for having language as interest :D

i wonder if i should just apply for singer this year..

on the other hand, earlier this month?

i received a call from the photo studio i did my shoot at

they were asking whether it's ok to use my photo in their website or not

and i said no problem

i was curious and checked it two days ago

it's there 😂

feel free to check, no writing though 😂

( http://photostudio-billett.com/ and http://photostudio-billett.com/profile_photo.html )

UFO catcher--- my partner is actually pretty pro XD

game gathering; played KEEP TALKING AND NOBODY DIE

at it's time for another first experience in Japan!

when we talk about summer in anime or stories, it's time for firework festival XD

I was so high and excited because it's wearing Yukata (officially?) for the first time XD

I prepared a lot 😂

the firework I went to was at Hachioji = first time visiting = animate la XD

took video too XD

ok rant time 😂

July 2019, after being with my partner for....officially 4 months? at last i'm angry at him 😂

i didn't tell him though, because V is the bad 'won't tell you that i'm angry' kind of person but yea i was honestly upset 😂

for one week 😂

day 1: ok, let's go to firework festival

day 2: my partner have a goldfish memory about his schedule = he didn't write the firework festival in his calendar

definitely V was upset, because it sounds as if he doesn't look forward to it :(

no put in calendar means not important right :(

day 3 & 4: ok I calm myself down. ordered my yukata and showed it to him.

I was super happy because it's Disney official's! Ariel to be exact :D

I actually chose carefully that I asked 3 friends' opinion ;w;

I showed it to him to show my excitement too!

but I told him to not meet the day before (Friday), because I want to go all out aka take my time doing my makeup and hair

THE DAY (Saturday):

1. he was late ._. I really wanted to meet earlier because I wanna check out Animate

2. there's prediction that it'll rain. He sounded fine if it's cancelled. I'm already super angry by this time, like you really don't wanna go? I just replied i'm still going by myself if you don't wanna come i don't care

3. ok we met, checked out Animate, an hr left before the firework but we are hungry so we decided to find food; time to get angry again *sigh*

those who know me well will understand the 3rd reason I got angry 😂

tbh V is not the type of gf who can't decide what to eat

instead, my partner is that type of person..

ofc there's plus minus though, with V's minus being I ended up very rarely try something new

plus when I already spent money buying yukata, buying new bag, wearing heels (or was it geta I don't remember whatI wore 😂), extra time on make up and hair, eating is the least i have in mind

(those who know me when I do cosplay during events or photoshoot, I believe you know that part of V very well 😂)

moreover running to not miss a firework doesn't make my mood any better

but there I had a partner who takes his time choosing what to eat even though I already said anything is fine (like purely I won't reject)

thus on normal days, if we eat together, I always make it a habit to decide together as soon as possible (like where for dinner after gym) or decide by myself what to cook when I don't have much time

I'm at least grateful that he doesn't complain about my cooking 😂

ok, time to write abut the firework event itself 😂

conclusion is, first and last for V 😂

it's not as nice as in anime 😂

1. Yukata is super hard to walk with..may be it's actually easier to walk with if i wear it properly but i couldn't since i was doing everything by myself ;-;

2. not much street food stall 😂

mostly only sell drink---

3. so crowded 😂

most people came early and already reserve their seats at the park 😂

well this one not so unexpected but yea, enough reason to not attend another one 😂

4. this is the funniest part for me; the firework wasn't fire all at once 😂

time to elaborate the 4th point 😂

well, it's not DisneyLand aka it's free event so I didn't expect super pretty and extravagant firework but something made me laugh a lot; there's announcement before every single firework

to be exact, it's, 'this is from XX company' *fire* 'this is from YY company' *fire*

in a way, the event is sponsored by local companies = they need to announce it for credit

ok wdh 😂

but i think there won't be any firework festival in 2020 due to the current situation..

perhaps will go if it's not just with my partner 😂
