More than 2 weeks....
15 days since my last update ;w;
I'm sorry I really can't keep promises with my own self ;-;
but just as I twitted in my twitter, Japan's summer, i still can't get used to it ;w;
tbh pretty tough to get through each days but I'm fineeeeeee
the feeling of hopelessness still pretty much the same last year but what i've improved, learned from last year is to avoid walking, make use of more train or bus to not tire myself too much
though i feel like getting fatter as i move lesser but better than heatstroke or losing my energy------
alright! let's do a short recap of what have been happening since 5th of August!
after blog on that Wednesday, i think nothing happened since it was late night already XD
Thursday.. all i have in mind is school & baito..
TWITTER COME TO MY RESCUE!
...
ok nothing happened on Thursday 😂
Friday was also school -> baito -> gym!!
I thought I'd be late for gym -> already arranged later timing with my trainer -> my kids' parents mistook the schedule as 2 kids in 1hr instead of 1hr per kid -> ended up finished work earlier -> but i ended up still late to go gym as i did some work..
i think dinner was yakitori?
and it's the start of one week holiday---
(though at the end of the day felt like normal school week because baito & gym went as normal XD)
rested early as i had morning baito on the 8th, Saturday!
but i ended up napping and slacking because morning baito still tough for V 😂
it's earlier than school, both waking up & leaving home XD
then Sunday was supposed to be blogging----
but I slacked---
first plan was to play game with my cousins but ended up going to Ikebukuro as some of them weren't able to join
so my excuse is i went to do window shopping 😂
because I've been missing shopping too 😂
and it's been a while since my partner and i go out for meal & window shopping (not just home area!)
so i was really excited and happy as it was time to dress up too >w<
had pancake at a place that's always crowded, did window shopping at Ikebukuro Sunshine -> friend's place, which is actually main reason to be in Bukuro
we promised to be there around 4 but at the end we reached at 6 😂
played Overcook!! that's where my Overcook addiction started 😂
friends also watched Parasite, while I just play games as I didn't like the movie ;w;
there was also a little earthquake while we were watching the movie; quite strong to be felt at second floor of the building 😂
Monday was another outing day!!
public holiday in Japan!
went to Shinjuku -> wanted to eat TimHoWan for lunch but queue---
ended up getting Hawaiian food at Takashimaya -> Kinokuniya where I got 2 books :D
then I got a board game at Tokyu Hands because they having fair 😂
then main reason to be in Shinjuku -> gym!!!!
then had another window shopping session at Lumine EST & Bicqlo XD
then TimHoWan for dinner!!
I think we played Overcook at home after that 😂
Tuesday was baito!! then as partner wanted to eat chicken rice @ Shibuya -> V window shopping session again at 109 XD
this time I really bought clothes as my fave shop having sales--
so I got what i had my eyes on XD
we went to check out shibuya square too~!
Wednesday morning was baito!!
This month I have a lot of extra baito as it's summer holiday season
I'm happy that i really enjoy my baito XD
then it was another date day!!
visited Shinagawa's Aquarium!!
almost gave up by considering Ikebukuro's aquarium instead but at the end, i don't think i'll visit Shinagawa's if not now 😂
it was tough during hot day as the aquarium is like almost 20 mins by foot from nearest station ._.
but the pretty big walk way aquarium was super healing!
and of course it's cool inside XD
then we spoilt ourselves even more by visiting Oedo Onsen!!!
been 2 years!
it's not completely empty as there are still high school? university students? who must be on their holiday
but instead of 24hrs, now they close at 12AM
the bath area feels wide and nice with not too much visitor
we also didn't need to queue for massage service!
it was purely relaxing session UwU
Thursday was another day of baito..
same goes with Friday but i had unexpected OT 😂
my fave kid saw me teaching another kid and couldn't say hi to her
thus she came back after my real classes ended
thus i was late again for my gym 😂
but i really love my kids so i also can't say no 😂
but when she said 'i wanted to play with you', now i really understand why my boss likes to say that even though it's a school, students come here with more of wanting to play feeling XD
then.. curry rice for dinner after gym!
unexpectedly before friday, i only had rice on sunday, and that's even just onigiri :o
Saturday was a no good day 😂
baito in the morning -> home -> lunch -> died napping for almost 5hrs 😂
showered -> dinner -> slept from 9-11 😂
then slept from 12 till next day 😂
supposed to do blogging last tuesday -> moved to sunday -> ended up not doing as i had sudden call for modelling job!
it's more of a short video of my eating for promotion -> the food was super good -> it was a super easy job 😂
just that i couldn't do much commentary as i wasn't ready with any phrases 😂
but i was glad to be able to do that job with my friends >w<
then monday!!
last 3 weeks of school before almost 1 month of summer holiday!!
nothing change regarding school though
during paper play class i was praised to be able to do eye contact during my presentation -> really trying hard to get what i want to say across
i am really grateful that i'm learning to be able to be more and more comfortable and confident with standing in front of people
because that's purely my dream! >w<
DIET STARTS THIS WEEK AS LAST WEEK A GONEEEE 😂
monday i had 2 onigiri for lunch, milk for snack and fish & mushroom for dinner!!
what i ate also matter for last week's diet but mainly it's really, the lethargic part of not really wanting to move much during summer ;w;
so i really need to control to not eat to much!
tuesday was school -> baito -> meat&fish&egg for dinner!
tbh it's easy to not eat rice for dinner because my partner isn't as dependant on rice comparing to me XD yay!
yesterday was curry rice for lunch and dinner nearby home
morning baito -> lunch -> school.. but i skipped 1 class
morning baito is after all tough 😂
that i even couldn't focus at what my teacher was saying during class ;-;
so i gave up and go home -> read book, which i finished earlier today XD
215 pages of translated from Japanese fiction
well the world is pretty intriguing & font pretty big, easy to read and understand but not strong enough for impression so yeah, finished in a blink XD
after diner, played Overcook2 with my partner for 2hrs?
we were burnt out as we finished 8? last chapters of the game 😂
alright!
today, thursday, school -> lunch -> baito soon!
then will finish up this blog >w<
i kinda gave up on thai lesson & twitting & blogging for this month as i'll be having my summer holiday in less than 3 weeks but i think i can juggle stuff
at the end it's my own will and energy! >w<
before i left for baito, this is the promised Kyoto Aquarium compilation video which I've uploaded to my YouTube channel >w<
watched it here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUO-ctsERDI
Let's travel back to February 2020 >w<
Though there are still leftover photos from January xD
anyway, back home after cooking dinner & ate!
hair still bright reddddddd
going for haircut next month as my bangs is getting long!
i think i wanna go back to himecut as whenever i tie my hair nowadays, i will leave some in front XD
January -> February
because V day is in February XD
and the reason why i chose middle finger for the special design is because I can show it (?) 😂
Ginza with mum
and another day was Higuma!
both Harajuku and Ginza are must-go for my parents whenever they come visiting XD <3
another visit to Shibuya's Pokemon Centre~
and even until now, there's Thomas designed corner for kids in Oedo Line train!
saw Hyde's truck >w<
bought strawberry cola ofc because of the color but not my cup of tea 😂
received touching message from classmates & chocolate from my teacher ;w;
another lesson which i really am grateful for taking was Radio DJ
can't say that it's an easy lesson as we are to act as if having our own radio show (need to think of what to talk about) but my main problem is ofc japanese ;w;
but i'm truly grateful that my teacher didn't give up on me
she guided me to be able to make radio show that only i can do; talk about culture!
as the class was small (6 people including me), i also grow closer to some of my mates!!
I think it's obvious that i like such class as I like to do IG & YouTube but the homey feeling of the whole class make me super love the class too >w<
my teacher asked me to take the chocolate as if something from the whole class as i gave everyone my calendar >w<
Afuri's vegetable ramen is forever my favorite!
february = v day = chocolate everywhere :o
Japan's chocolate (mainly the look) quality is HIGhhhhh
though at the end i gave my own made chocolate XD
unlike in 2019, the LDR V day, this year 2020, we were at the same place 😂
but i tricked my partner 😂
somewhat revenge from birthday (?) 😂
on the 14th february morning, i opened a box of chocolate with writing 'obligatory' at the wrapping & gave it to my partner. it's one of the goods i got from Yusa Kouji's talkshow event.
then i went to school -> gym -> dinner (we had pizza and i had wine!)
my partner thought that's all = no real chocolate 😂
when we came back home, he found another box on his computer table...
but it's not real chocolate..
until he checked the fridge, where i hid the chocolate wafer i made 😂
later on we went on a V day trip during weekend XD
love love love :D
my partner got shiroikoibito for me from his snowboarding trip at Hokkaido XD
i miss my bright red hair too ;w;
can't have it now as i'm finding job but i also like dark brown almost black for now XD
can't say no to Stich ;w;
bought games---
in between of P5R, I played CoffeeTalk and finished it in a week?
streamed it in YouTube too!
was interested because it's made by Indonesian game company >w<
hair slowly faded.. or was this before i retouch @@
maid photoshoot photo editing XD
the tsundere (?) look and CCTV POV? 😂
Ono-san at the TV 😂
and please join V's CULT :D:D:D:D
megumi's photo editing xD
and another night of snow in January!
was surprised that snow lasted till next morning but by afternoon all gone @w@;;;;
in February, my partner went for his business trip for around 2 weeks
at the same month, I was into going to factory outlets near Tokyo!!!
I think this one was near Chiba, at Tsudanuma!
super sunny though still need leather jacket!
my partner was surprised when i sent him my lunch XD
I also went to another factory outlet near Saitama!
For me, the factory outlet in Tsudanuma is Quantity > Quality
because I found a number of everyday clothes + shoes brand
The factory outlet in Saitama, I didn't get anything..
That place is the third FO I went in that month 😂
Chiba -> Tokyo; reminded me of surfing trips XD
I think these photos are from Higuma XD
near my home, I thought sakura bloomed early but apparently it's plum tree >w<
some temple near nakano sakaue?
and there was a day when moon and sun appeared during daytime >w<
February is the last month of school before spring holiday in March
at the end of school year as a first year student, each class is to perform skit!
we performed with no microphone but have sound effect!
we performed The Long Christmas Dinner by Thornton Wilder
our class was divided into 3 performances.
I performed twice at the later half :D
sweets we received!
I'm so grateful that they were my class mates + teachers >w<
tbh, I'm the oldest in my class
most students who come to my school are under 20, right after high school
tbh i have hard time catching up
whether it's about trend, as well as ofc language
ok, language actually not that bad but V being V, I'm just bad with small talk ^^;;;;
but, these people are angles ;w;
i didn't know that we will go to different classes (by choice) as second year students but i'm really grateful to know them!
but a lot of them, i find so filled with potential and positivity and energy and love and determinationwhen I saw familiar names in the list of people who passed this month's audition, these names made me feel 'as expected'!
these are people who i don't mind saying out loud 'I WILL BE YOUR FIRST FAN'! >w<
so i'm secretly stalking them now and then /slapped 😂
I like the story we performed too xD
I'm truly lucky UwU
another day---
it's time for Yusa Kouji's talkshow event!!
again and again i'm so lucky that the event wasn't cancelled ;w;
first week of February?
after that, most events (until now.. and probably until the end of the year!?) are cancelled one after another ;w;
YAY!!!!
attended both day & night!! >w<
had sushi for dinner XD <3
AND AT LAST CLEARED P5R---
AND RIGHT AWAY CONTINUED WITH P5S XD
P5S may make P5 fans to travel around Japan (?) 😂
I thought I'd finish it in 40hrs, as google says 35hrs?
but i think i finished it in 30hrs!
tbh it's pretty fun and beginner friendly (I'm not used to fighting game at all!!)
i don't mind playing, or to be exact make my partner play, the harder version as I believe i played the easy mode 😂no safety mode 😂
Ciel's concert in Osaka in January 2019 still stuck in me that I ended up getting Hyde's DVD >w<
and i did solo karaoke after baito----
that period i was still in strict diet that i only ate soup (niku jaga to be exact) for dinner that i almost died (felt dizzy!!) after singing for 3hrs?
thus i ordered takoyaki at 11PM? 😂
so happy that my favorite JOYSOUND karaoke system have PV of my favorite songs (/cough that's Ono-san 😂)
tried out KitKat McFlurry!
and attended Gospel class in school xD
tbh I'm not a big fan of McFlurry because i'm not fond of Oreo
but I tried Kitkat's & later on Black Thunder's!!!
but i still find both too sweet = once and for all 😂
Gospel class!!
We sang Hallelujah, Amazing Grace, Happy Day, Joyful Joyful..
I think there's more
At first I really contemplated to take the class or not
Because I do understand what Gospel genre is
but it's another super fruitful class
because it's another lesson that made me feel free to project my voice, to speak (sing) louder
a class that reminds me my love for singing
what I love the most is our religion doesn't matter
and i think that's the most important thing when we show, when we express love
i almost reached my ideal weight in February----
now forever's goal is to be under 49------
at least in the morning 😂
February 2nd was twintail day!!!
never seen Tokyo station this empty!!
Was there for photoshoot with new friend!!
'no tourist' totally visible :0
coffee break >w<
The photoshoot was with @rdzuhairi >w<
just a day after gym XD
time for V day trip as V day was on a Friday!!
we went on Saturday -> came back to Tokyo on sunday and right away went to friend's place for game 😂
we visited Gotemba!!
we could see this view from our room too!!!
My love (interest?) for factory outlet awakened from this trip 😂
this is the first FO I went in 2020
Can see Mount Fuji!! >w<
bus trip for less than 2hrs from Shinjuku station!!
first Godiva ice cream in my life!!
second day was stuck in hotel till 1PM because outside was raining dogs and cats 😂
our hotel was new, opened in late 2019?
ofc was there mainly for onsen >w<
but the resting area was super good too!!
super spacey resting area!!
when we were there in February, the factory outlet was having renovation for new building = more shops!!
we really want to go back!!
for me, Gotemba is a Quality > Quantity because I bought lesser in quantity but more expensive 😂
what surprised me the most was my partner accompanied me the whole time and even more, he bought stuff first before me 😂
but i really saw another side of him as i never really do shopping with him before this 😂
I started my baito around late February & early March!!
fellow teachers are super friendly and easy to mingle with XD <3
yay! >w<
ended up getting one puzzle game we use in my baito because I just love such puzzle 😂
and travelling with mask & specs start due to covid'19 TwT
In February was still mask only when we are outside (and train or bus) but ok to take off inside
now, mask inside (or face shield or mouth piece) including gym----
sakura near baito!
ok, stuff from March starts getting mixed up XD
even Japan was out of toilet paper,
to the point of 711 in Kichijoji doesn't allow anyone to use the toilet...
mask at CanDo---
last time I entered cinema was in March 😂
if stuff went well, my parent would've come twice more this year
i'd have attended Nier's concert, as well as Egoist & Utapri & Otomate & ad-LIVE ;w;
and would've watched Violet Evergarden's movie (ok at least this one will be released next month!)
watched Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi's movie, but felt cheated as the real movie only 25mins? OVA ;w; they also played previous movie for another hour but i just went out as i watched it before ;w;
watched Shirobako's movie too!!
visited kichijoji with my girls to visit friends' new place
only for me to remember that P5R features this place, minutes before i went home XD
I wanna visit that area again!!
later on in April i visited there again for a photoshoot but as it's during Japan's lockdown period, Animate was closed ;-;
i also wanna go to Inokashira park----
the last time i met my girls; in February!!
and first time serving takoyaki!!
more like none of the girls cook the takoyaki so i proactively did it ;w;
not trying to blame anyone or being pessimistic but that day, i was pretty angry 😂
first, everyone was late and I was hungry, but we barely make our mind in choosing what to eat
ok after lunch -> friend's place -> have takoyaki thingy but no one took lead to make
not everyone, as there were people who were making the spring roll (which was super good, as expected >w<)
so i told myself, 'V, you are going to be a teacher (baito). time to be proactive,'
this is the same thing with school
as a first year student, i really take the watcher role
but i decided that i should move on
or i won't go far in life too
or i just won't improve ;w;
tbh i can take 'i'm afraid of being called a busybody' as an excuse
but no, i need to be more of a 'act first think later' person @-@
another snowy day in Tokyo was in March!!
or in February? 😂
I remember it snowing pretty hard in March as I had another weekend gateaway
but anyway, that snowy day was pretty shocking and SUPER COLD
die die went to nearby park for nice photo 😂
and the snow actually lasted for 2-3 days!!
weather's weird this year 😂
but what reminded me the most was the snow beside the road
during my walk home from baito
tbh i have the bad habit of using my phone while walking as i rarely use my phone unless i'm commuting
so i almost didn't notice that pile of snow until i heard some kids shouting 'there are snow left!!!'
that reminded me to let go my phone now and then, because i will miss beauty around me if i stay stuck on the screen xD
nail design for march, as spring is coming!
though it was still pretty cold in march XD
obachan from nearby dining place near home told us that since it snowed in march = sakura will last longer too as it's cool!
but in late april? it was already super hot..
weather is truly weird @-@;;;
anyway, this is all for today!
I decided to do editing tomorrow (friday)!
tomorrow will be school -> baito -> gym!
i'll snuck in blogging time 😂
finished editing on a Friday, while having my lunch XD
after blogging yesterday, did some hw -> almost had instant noodle after midnight because I saw someone's IG story 😂
but i'm so happy that i managed to endure it because...
after a while of not..
i saw the number '48.00' this morning 😂
lately i don't weight often anymore but there are days when i reach 49.00 in the morning and lowest being 48.40 so i'm extra happy
though later on i received a mail of failure from job interview 😂
anyway, i kinda ate too much on wednesday but i'm still happy that i'm still keeping my weight at least below 50
again and again, everyday's goal is to be under 49 in the morning
long term (?) goal is to be under 48 every day 😂
but i also had short discussion about my plan with my teacher
and she is supporting me a lot
plus she understands how i'm feeling since she also have daughter at same age (almost exact position!)
i'm just super lucky to have met a teacher who i can feel free to discuss about what bothers me
i'm just super happy that it seems i'm not going the wrong way
i'm just happy that she said i still can do idol stuff and look as if same age with my fellow classmates; 20 😂
and most of all, i'm just happy that she is wishing for my best
alright! time for baito!
i super look forward for this weekend >w<
