December 2019

surely lazied procrastinated and delayed my own schedule 😂
i don't think i'll be able to finish this post by dinner so i'll start with update of what happened in the last 2 weeks!

my last post was published on sunday...night? 😂
the time is written as 06:45 but what time zone is that 😂
i'm happy that i have my twitter update so i know what i did 😂
Sunday night was as i wrote -> finished some hw after blog!

13th Monday -> class -> another day of regretting eating too much during lunch as i had Matsuya's  Unagi + beef slice with rice 😂
advice i got during one class is i need to think deeper of the character i was portraying 'w';;;;
was portraying the witch from Hansel & Gretel -> should have crooked back + talk slower as kind grandma -> big gap is needed to change into evil witch = speak faster!

14th Tuesday -> not so genki ;w;
cancelled my Thai lesson -> school
didn't perform well orz totally gave up on my intonation & accent 😭
it effected my enthusiasm..
i also received mails from companies i applied for that i failed orz
well what to do orz
economy ain't good too orz
applied for more!!!

15th Wednesday -> nail & photoshoot!
but i guess nothing much happened....?
i felt cute that day though (?)
I mean, after all, i love dressing up + I love photoshoot XD <3

16th Thursday -> school & baito
my kid didn't realize my nail is red -> i showed her -> 'why not purple---' 😂
as expected of kid; just forget what they said 😂
ok next time purple la 😂
for school.. we went in school's recording studio for the first time
sensei said we didn't sound enthusiastic enough for the role we wanna audition for
again and again, sensei really want to remind us that as beginner = we don't have enough skill = ENTHUSIASM IS WHAT WE SHOULD SHOW-----

17th Friday -> AT LAST IT'S HOLIDAY TIME ;w;
unlike what i posted, i ended up not bringing my laptop to my trip 😂
ok i guess i should regret it (though doing it now no point 😂)
but I enjoyed the trip a lot----
went to Nasu & Tochigi, though first day my feet hurt like hell cause my shoes too small 😂
should've doubted wearing new shoes to trip, especially small shoes 😂
ended up buying 2 pairs at factory outlet -> dinner -> onsennnnn
factory outlet smaller than expected; less than 2hrs being there? 😂
onsen is my love ;w;

18th Saturday -> rain whole day ;w;
brunch -> go-kart -> lunch -> SAFARI PARK! -> cafe -> dinner -> onsen
SUPER FULL ATE TOO MUCH 😂
really not much thing to do + my partner drove thus no much walk too 😂
but food there super good too 😂
go-kart was faster & smaller than expected 😂
but SAFARI PARK was better than expected that both of us were touched!!
we really drove near to the animal!!
at first i thought it'd be better to use our own car -> rental car is so much better because as we feed the animal, they'd lick the windows 😂
but that's how impressive the place was xD

19th Sunday -> SUPER GOOD WEATHER <3
time for Animal Kingdom -> unexpectedly A LOT of animal & super big & clean
as expected of countryside = a lot of space <3
earlier this year, mountain cat baby just born = WE SAW IT!!! <3
though because of social distancing, only 6-8 people can go see the cat via glass screen in 1 min, we were there just on time when the cat woke upppppp
we are so toucheddd ;w;
thinking about that moment,  i still can feel healed ;w;

then lunch -> bread store -> factory outlet again for less than 2hrs 😂-> shinkansen -> dinner @ Tokyo station -> video editing for 4hrs ;w;
V not young anymore = this is the beginning of my weariness for this week? 😂

Monday ended up skipping 2 lessons as i stayed up till very late for the video editing ;w;
but went for my paper play class as needed to perform---
was praised for my portrayal of the witch this time XD
but we truly didn't practice much + so focused on our own character that we didn't care much of the illustration = as seiyuu we should care a lot about the picture 😂
then gym -> twit & hw~!

Tuesday was school -> baito!
last baito for the week..
was pretty happy since i was tired and soooo ready to rest
but thinking about it now, i'm kinda sad that it means my pay for this month also lesser 😂

Wednesday was all fine with Thai lesson -> school
tried out somewhere different for dinner; butadon shop at Ekoda!
but the place is more atas that they even serve Foie gras!
may be next time; on payday 😂

Thursday was the start of 4 days long weekend holiday in Japan
though it doesn't really apply for me as school is as usual XD
but it's fine! school was still fun as we had lesson in the recording studio again!
it seems that sensei is making me sound really young & genki characters!

tbh i'm super happy!
because i think that's how i am too; wanna be everyone's warm sun ;)
though again and again i'm very very sorry that for the last 2 weeks I'm so down & sad & depressed with very little update ;w;
I'M TOTALLY GENKI NOW-----
ENOUGH OF RESTING-----

after school -> game gathering!
played bohnanza, room25, DREAM ON..
cooked karaage, hamburger
it was fun!
talked about how to make Self-Promotion with my friends too!
learned a lot! <3

Friday, we presented our self introduction to sensei and she said we are all so lacking of enthusiasm 😂..
and everyone is so lacking of practice for our audition's line & narration 😂
ALRIGHT! THAT'S WHAT I'M REALLY GOING TO GENKI-LY FOCUS ON NEXT WEEK!

then it was date time with my partner!
been so long since we went on walk in town!
we went to Harajuku to check out the new IKEA
then tried out a gyoza shop that is always packed on normal day XD (2PM)
then walked all the way to Shibuya to eat at our favorite vegetarian Indian food place~! (4PM)
then dropped by one Starbucks Reserve as my partner's friend is doing a showcase -> gym!
still so full after gym -> had dinner at KFC!!
at last ate KFC's HOT chicken and it's really better than the original one!!
i gotta do my own visit again before it's not on sale anymore XD

yesterday, for the first time i joined yoga unwillingly ;w;
i was half asleep during the practice lol..
then lunch at nearby favorite shop -> cosplay photoshoot as Aerith Kaguya Chika----
Aerith and chika were fine but after all i'm not suitable as kaguya ;w;
first, i didn't prepare enough that her wig was super bad ;w;
then i just can't do her emotion enough ;w;
after all, as V is baka -> chika is so easy ;w;
but i think the photos shouldn't be that bad ;w;
gotta choose and edit soon ;w;

yesterday i'm pretty much dead as i also snapped (inside my heart 😂) toward my partner
but he is super kind innocent (?) angel so i really can't be angry at him for too long 😂
at last had my McD craving fix for dinner!!!!
and being an introvert bad girl (?) I just stayed at home while my partner went to another friend's house for sudden gathering
i feel bad for ignoring the invitation but i really don't wanna meet people while having bad mood ;w;

today, for the first time ever, i skipped yoga 😭
i thought i already had enough rest on saturday night = yoga -> casual shoot at kichijoji but then it also rained the whole day..
it's a waste since my partner rented camera until tomorrow but i'm really no good orz
instead we played Hanabi, DREAM ON and ROOM25!!
light dinner later as we are still full from our NY size pizza from DOMINO 😂

i forgot to mention that after 1 week, both of us cleared the gem collection in Mario Party 😂
instead of my laptop, i brought my partner's Nintendo SWITCH to Tochigi 😂

alright!
time to travel back to December 2019!

last post for 2019's throwback!!

start with food log XD

comparing Indomie and Thai's YumYum XD

still team Indomie UwU

more khao man kai XD

onigiri with Thai's grilled pork & V's mixed vegetable xD

partner made too much chicken & kaphao that i brought them to school for lunch!
23rd December had end of year dinner at friend's place~!

Christmas gathering with the girls >w<

random selfie XD

end of December, went to watch Persona 5 stage play!

Mona was someone in a big cat suit but super cute XD <3
I like the Akechi & Sae though my partner and I were surprised as they sang 😂
i'm actually looking forward to the part 2 this year but i wonder if it'll happen ;w;
the yusuke is handsome----

with Christmas tree :D

from one of my random walk!
end of December but autumn leaf is still super pretty!

it's actually a staircase to a temple!

somewhat visited Odaiba in mid December!
unplanned first anniversary date XD

first time visiting Team Lab!

it was interactive and very Instagramable but not for V, as it was crowded 😂

for this museum, everyone can't enter with shoes!
plus there are rooms with mirror -> ladies can borrow shorts!

the real reason of being in Odaiba 😂

I was actually there for the seiyuu event for Kengan Ashura XD
somewhat managed to pull my partner along with me 😂
I watched both day and night performance while my partner only joined for the night one!
so it was Team Lab -> lunch @ Toyosu's fish market -> Kengan Ashura events!!

I'm so lucky to be able to see Yusa-san 3 times in 2019!
I thought I'd only be able to see him once (Otomate Party) but I managed to see him at the end of the year ;w;
I saw him twice in 2018 >w<
I'm so lucky too to be able to see him twice this year, earlier in February, before most events were cancelled ;w;
Otomate Party this year already cancelled ;w;
I hope his next event in October will go on!!

anyway, not that I'm a big big fan of Kengan Ashura but it was a pretty enjoyable anime XD
the songs are good XD <3

this time V is not a baka 😂
last year's revenge = ferris wheel XD

for dinner, we ate at Venus Fort
another coincident is not only we ate at the same restaurant where we ate during 2018's Christmas Eve but also same table 😂

there was a funny happening in the ferris wheel 😂
i don't know whether they don't pay copyright or people are paying them to get promotion but the songs being played in the ferris wheel changes every 30 secs 😂
some songs didn't even play until the part with lyric and already changed 😂
didn't get the clear version as 30 mins wait was needed but i'm already satisfied XD

cake was on the exact day of our first anniversary!
and Christmas eve is here >w<

being a weeb -> Christmas = KFC 😂

time for Christmas present exchange!

I told my partner that I want AirPod as my cousins gave me the cover only 😂
it has Vちゃん carved XD <3

Christmas dinner -> V's first time making Indonesian food XD
partner made grilled chicken & had cake too!

In Japan, Christas = cake too XD

I missed nasi lemak = made it XD
not bad, but the rest not so good 😂
egg & bean are ok too 😂
but serundeng & rendang didn't make it ;w;
serundeng is hard man ;w;
while rendang, i'm bad with stewing meat ;w;
but partner liked it >w< 
happy <3

for Christmas eve date, we went to Yomiuri land XD

i've been wanting to visit Yomiuri land for quite sometime as they had collaboration with my fave band SuG before XD
it was as expectedly crowded but the illumination was beautiful---
this is another place that open till late especially for illumination!

we queued for around 1/2hr for the cable car from the station to the park area but the pictures above show how much the ride was worth it >w<

made our own UFO cup noodle XD <3

simply happy girl XD <3

we played one 'escape room' kind of game but didn't even make it to the first room as it's really not skirt friendly 😂
played UFO catcher too 😂
perhaps will come back one day for the rides!
it's pretty big and there are interactive educational sites! >w<

last view :D

after 25th December before 31st December, I went to Kyoto for Winter Holiday XD
3 nights 4 days!
2 nights in Kyoto, 1 day in Biwa Lake :D

go by Shinkansen :D

reached Kyoto station!
first stop was Kyoto's horse racecourse but CLOSED 😂

No, I don't really have interest in horse betting though lately it intrigues me as one of my fave actors (Yuya Yagira) appears in horse racing CM!
but i've been wanting to visit Kyoto's horse race park as Yusa Kouji stayed near there before 😂 /slapped
but i didn't know that those dates no more race = the whole place is close 😂

even the exit from the train track is closed 😂
ended up having sushi for lunch at nearby shop house~

we thought Kyoto would be colder as the city is known to be super cold during winter & super hot during summer as it's surrounded by mountain?
but it wasn't so cold as i survived with 2 layers & faux leather long coat? XD
good time to walk <3

shop houses and more random photos during our walk~

 
Kyoto tower at night

the last time I visited Kyoto in 2018, I also missed Kyoto tower even though I dropped by Kyoto station
this time was somewhat an unexpected revenge as I got to see the daytime & nighttime version of it because our lodging was nearby~!

most expensive karaoke I've ever went to 😂
the dinner was meat + beer -> we visited another shop for beer!

as it was the end of the year, many people & company were doing end of year party & a lot of gathering = karaoke room more expensive :0
could be cheaper if we register for membership but we aren't really into that kind of marketing ._.
but another thing that surprised us was it's a karaoke room with no sofa = totally while kneeling down or sitting on the floor 😂
that was funny though 😂

for dinner, I found out that there are lots of delicious looking meat shops near Kyoto station and we went to one!
it was fun >w<

saw Elsa at random train 😂
bought GU's pajama as we forgot to bring our own 😂

usually Japanese lodging will have yukata and we'd use it to sleep thus we forgot to bring our own sleep wear 😂

the next day, visited Arashiyama!
super good weather!

first time visiting the bamboo forest!

but V being V, stayed for only 5 mins and interested in the shops more 😂

duh it's end of year holiday peak season = it's crowded 😂
but there was Rilakkuma storeeee <3

SUPER CUTE

i also love Rilakkuma (though i'm more to the Korilakkuma) but surprisingly i didn't splurge in the store 😂

my partner's favorite warabi mochi!

there was also kimono pattern exhibition

back to Kawaramachi after a year of not!

ah, I really like Kyoto after my visit back in 2018 that i really wanted to go back but tbh I didn't expect to be back so soon 😂
ofc this time I had different aims that before but still, in a year i was back 😂

the real reason to be in Kawaramachi this time was for our dinner reservation at Gion!

my first time visiting Gion, especially at night!
it reminded me of Asakusa though XD

getting closer to the restaurant!

time for my top 5? expensive meal in 2019
even the tea is in wine bottle!

if for V trip = shopping, for my partner it's trip = food
thus we reserved a Michelin 2 stars restaurant for dinner

it was delicious!
we had crab!
the staffs and cooks were friendly too!
would love to go back!

also back to Toei Park 😂

partly because my partner haven't been there before XD

lunch at the ninja cafe!

back in 2018, they had Gintama LA Movie 2 exhibition
this time, it's Boku Aka exhibition~!

later on went to watch with my partner XD

a lot of beautiful pop up!

hehe my bias is Todoroki <3

super good weather!

I wanna visit Edo Wonderland too ;w;

we played with one escape game, partner joined samurai sword wielding event, we attended ancient Japan's culture explanation event which I joined before...
I think that's about it there!
we left in 3hrs?

super good weather to the point that it's so sunny -> didn't join the whole guided tour xD
time to go to Biwa Lake for our last day's stay

I think the hotel was featured in Chihayafuru's LA movie?

we took the hotel's van and it felt as if going into the wood 😂
we were given access to private onsen room!

at first, we were told that the rooms with onsen inside was over booked ._.
in compensation, we paid the normal hotel room + free beverage for our meal + free access to private onsen room!
still thankful and grateful!
because at the end we also too tired to keep on going to the onsen = ended up only used once 😂
another place i'd love going back to!

first time visiting Biwa Lake, but didn't do any sightseeing as it was rainy too 😂
ended up going to Kyoto station early on our last day -> visited Kyoto Aquarium for the first time!

that's all for this post!
apparently not all of my December 2019 stuff is here; some photos from the aquarium not here yet XD
will continue next week!

based on my mood (that effects my energy ;-;) during the last 2 weeks, I decided to slow down my Twitter and Blog update to 1 month per week.
if i stick to this speed, i can actually start updating real time stuff at the end of August?
I don't want to burden myself too much with too much rushing so yea, as this is something that i can adjust as it's my own schedule, i gotta be wiser and get some leeway!

lastly, i updated my YouTube channel with 2 new compilation videos!
My visit to Ikaho Green Bokujo at Gunma during school's outing -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d54yV1HsMns
My visit to Ushiku Daibutsu at Ibaraki back in 2018 -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9hTPtxo4-Q

feels good to get things done <3
