Wishlist: Winter Wants

I just loooove fur for the winter! It's just so soft and fluffy, not to mention warm! (*´ω`*)
I've been seeing fluffy angora sweaters around more recently. They're so cute imo, so I've been wanting one for the season. Trying to look around for one that's extra fluffy & loose fitting.

Another hot item of the season are cat ear berets. So cute and a unique twist the the regular old beret design.
However, I just kind of have a fondness for pretty much animal anything in general!


Current wants:

SWEATERS


HATS




Maybe I can get some of these as Christmas gifts? (●´ω`●)ゞエヘヘ

いつもごろごろしたい

今日テストが二つあったけど、ぜんぜん勉強したわ。

それから、大変だった。


ちょうたいだな、わたし・・・

これだめのが分かって。 そして、変えなくちゃあけど・・・まあ、たいだから変えたくないね。

今学期、日本語の授業のクラスメートの皆さんと日本からの留学生のチューターたちは、私より、もっとわかいんだ。

私はおばあさんのようを感じるww

みんなわかいし、頭がいいし、私ちょっとうらやましい。


ときどき、その物をかんがえる時、私は少しかなしくなる。

私・・・とても怠惰なし・・・頭があまりよくないし・・・

せんこうはけいざいがくですが、 あまり好きじゃない。

何のために勉強していますか? どんな仕事ほしい?

まだ分からない。

何かが上手? Job experienceがある?

べつに・・・

私はいつもごろごろしたいだけ。

卒業の後で仕事を職業をさがせないと思う。

それで、時々failureのようをかんじる。

これはこわいよ。

だから、今から私の人生をゆっくり変えなければならない。


わぁ、 このポストはおもくトピックになった。

しかし、みんなは私たちのしょうらいをしらないね?

たぶん、お金が持っているかれしをさがせる?www


また、今度、
ばいばい~

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom


Two weeks ago, I went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom with my oldest sister, brother-in-law, his sister, and Baby Seabass.

2週間前、 上の姉と 義理の兄と 義理の兄のお姉さんと 甥のセバスチャンと いっしょに シックスフラッグスディスカバリーキングダムに 行きました。

All of our time there was spent on watching the snimal shows, so we didn’t get to go onto any of the rides.

私たちは どうぶつのショーを 見て 私たちの時間を すごしたから ジェットコースターを のりませんでした。


The first show we saw was the killer whale. The whale wasn’t very big since it was a just a baby, 2 years old.

見たさいしょのショーはシャチだった。 シャチがあんまり大きくない。 まだあかちゃんだから。 シャチが2歳だよ。

We were a bit early for the whale show, but I got to snap this cool photo during the wait

The baby Orca was so cute!


Next, were a tiger show. It was pretty entertaining, but I wish we didn’t have to watch the tigers through a fence. (I know, the fence is for safety, but still...)

つぎ、 トラです。 トラたちが かっこいくて、 おもしろいだった。


Ater that, we took a break for lunch.

あとで、 おひろごはんを食べた。

We bought a smoked turkey leg to share. The turkey leg was huge! Too bad it’s hard to show in picture.

I think it’s a pretty good deal. $10 for one leg, which can feed 4 adults. We snuck in some mashed potatoes to go with the turkey leg (笑)

私たちは スモークターキーレッグを 食べるに 買いました。 ターキーレッグが すごく 大きた!

良いとりひきと思う。 たった$10の 十分四人のために 食べることを きょうゆう することが できます。


After lunch, we walked inside the butterfly habitat. I was actually expecting there to be more butterflies inside, but the ones that were there were very pretty. It was just hard to snap photos of them since they flew so quickly.

おひりごはんのあと、 ちょう せいそくに 行った。

ちょうが あまり多くないけど、 すごいきれいわ。

ちょうの 写真を とってが ちょっと みずかしい。

はやいだから。


Then, we took a short walk around the zoo while waiting for the elephant show.

そうして、 象の待つことに どうぶつえんで 少なさんぽをした。
Spent some time watching giraffes



I think the elephant was so cute. It was my first time seeing one so up close too!

象が とても 可愛かったと思う。 とても ちかくに ぞうを 見るが はじめてだった!


Lastly, we saw the dolphin show.

さいごに、 ドルフィン ショーを 見た。


By the end, I was pretty tired since it was a hot day. The walk through the parking lot to the car also tired me out having to push a packed baby stroller uphill. All in all, it was a fun day to relax. I enjoyed being able to see all of the animals!

この日はたのしかった。 どうぶつをみるが好き。



そんな感じで、
じゃー、 また。

Short Summer Photoset

From one of the times I went with my sis to take a photo session around her uni.

These are actually old pics from last year, but I never got around to posting them anywhere.

Since it’s summer now, and my outfit is summer themed, it’s still appropiate, right?


act cute *shy* *shy* expression


I super love this photo, but I always have wonky feet


Most natural photo. The sun was super strong that day, see my squint?


Well, that’s all. Super short post today.

Really just wanted to find an excuse to post some pictures of myself, lol.

Other News & Happenings

I decided to break my previous post into a 2nd part.

Right now, I’ve been staying at my oldest sister’s place in-between work days. I’ve mainly just been lazying around.

Sometimes, I watch baby Seabass, but mostly just play games, watch TV, or go on internet.

My sis and I went to Ulta during the first week I stayed over because I wanted to get some more of the CoverGirl Blast Flipsticks. The one I bought from Target was in the wrong shade of the one I wanted (there weren’t any testers out). Ulta had a 2 for $15 sale on the lipsticks plus I used a $3.50 off coupon, so it was cheaper.

I also bought a Sally Hassen Crackle nail polish since it was on clearance for under $2. Most of the crackle polishes I see around are priced at $8+! I consider this to be a steal, plus the color is gold & easy to match, so I wanted to give it a try. 

I’ve never used any crackle/shatter polishes before since they’re so expensive. It was a little hard to apply at first since you’re only supposed to apply one layer and not go over. In my first attempt, my right hand turned out nicer. Usually it’s the other way around, since I’m right handed...

It took a while for the polish to complete cracking, but I like the end result.

Here’s how the nail polish looks! (2nd attempt)



In other news, I’m looking forward to the upcoming Fall season’s anime. The line up looks pretty good so far, but the show I’m anticipating the most is 「K」.



Not much info is out about it yet, but looking at the trailers, the art is pretty nice and appears to have some good action.

Until next time,

Recent News & Happenings

I was stressing at the end of Spring quarter, but it actually ended well. I’m glad it’s done, and now it’s summer.

I’ve actually been somewhat busy during this summer break. Hooray.

Although... I haven’t been exactly busy with fun stuff, but with other things.

I mentioned in my shoes wishlist post that I wanted to find a job for the summer, and luckily everything fell perfectly for me!

I was lucky to have applied right when a new retail store was opening!

I applied a week or two near the end pf spring quarter, interviewed three weeks after, got the job, just finished training, and am heading to my 1st official work week.31

Friends and others have told me horrors of retail, but so far I’ve been enjoying the work. I haven’t had any problems with customers or anything so far... I’m still just nervous about working the cash register. 

This is my first ever experience working on a cash register. During training, I’ve only been on the register twice, and both times I made counting errors...47 I got really stressed & worried over the second mistake particularly because it was my second time as cashier already.

I think I’m sort of pressuring my self to go quickly (particulary when I see a line forming), which is causing me to make mistakes.

So, NO! Don’t rush! Take my time! Count carefully! 58 (memos to remind myself)


In between that, I had one day to relax. My little cousins came over for a pool day. We spent most of the afternoon swimming and playing at the water park.



Afterwards, we went to Chuck E Cheese! I invited my friend from highschool to hang out this day. It was nice to finally be able to meet and catch up again.

At Chuck E Cheese, we finally redeemed all of our super old tickets we had saved up from since 199415

Over a 1000 tickets! W00t!

One thousand tickets is a lot, right? So that means good prizes, right? WRONG.:14:

All of the ’decent’ prizes were priced at 2000+ tickets! Everything below that amount are just stuff you can buy yourself for like $5.There was an Easy Bake cake set for 800 tickets, but my sister was against getting it since it was just fondant.

We ended up just getting 3 tiaras, 100 tix each, and then letting the kids choose whatever they wanted with the rest.

My sis, friend, and I left early to do a little shopping. I wore my tiara out with pride! I tried getting my sister to wear it too, but she’s too embarrassed to do that stuff.

We just browsed around Ulta and Target. I bought a nudey pink lip liner and lipstick at Ulta and then a CoverGirl Blast Flipstick at Target.


My friend showed us the ultra cheap E.L.F. brushes and compact sets at Target. Amazing discovery! Single brushes are only $1-3 each!

After check out in Target, heard the best line ever! The store clerk noticed my tiara and complimented me. The greatest thing she said was, ”Princess for the day, or princess everyday?” LOL emoticon20  I’m a princess everyday, ya know?


Late during the evening, when my cousins were in their car getting ready to leave, a little doggy came over! It actually hopped into the car, and scared my aunt. My uncle told my mom to pick it up so that it won’t get run over while they backed out of the drive way.

We brought the dog into the house. My sister called the owner from the collar.

The doggy, Dixie, was so adorable! She was a hotdog (Dachshund)!:92:

Turns out the wife (most likely the sole owner, since the collar gave her contact info) was away, and the husband was supposed to watch the Dixie. We had to wait a whole hour before the husband called us back to pick her up. It was near 11:00 pm already! We met up at the park since it was halfway distance between our houses.

After returning Dixie, worst line of the day said by the husband, ”I should tape a hundred to the collar so next time people would keep her.” 

Shoot. I would’ve loved to keep her! She’s obviously not his dog though, so no go.

Despite the not-so-pleasant ending line, that day was nice, relaxing, and fun. I was super glad my friend was able to meet up! There was no awkwardness in conversation or anything even though it’s been a while since we’ve last seen each other. That’s true friendship! 

I wish there were more days I could take to hang out with old friends again, but we’re always busy. It’s also a little awkward to make that initial request to meet up after not having seen each other in a long time. haha

Well, this post ended up being a lot longer than I had planned, but oh, well.


See ya next time,

Yogurt Night

Yay, my sister is staying over at my apt for a few days.

Last night, we with my cousin/roommate went out for frozen yogurt at Pinkberry!!

First time ever going to a Pinkberry shop *excited*


I like the interior, the walls are all clean & glossy w/pastel colors, cute!


All of our fro-yo! We all chose the original flavor.



Yummies~
(Self-taken camho shot...no make! Wish I had put on at least some falsies)

My fro-yo, topped w/brownie bites, blueberries, strawberry, and kiwi


A random light statue we passed by going to the shop.

The weather has been so hot this past month!! (´-ω-`)
Even at night, the heat doesn't dissipate!It was a great relieve from the nighttime heat.

『子供の時』

日本語のじゅぎょうに小さいなさくぶんを書いた。 さくぶん中のエラーをしつれいします。 ぶんぽうはたいへんね。

For Japanese class, we had an assignment to write a short ”essay” about  our chldhood and I thought I’d share it on my blog. Please excuse any  errors.  Grammer is pretty difficult!
『子供の時』

私はストックトンで生まれて、大学までここにすんでいました。 子供の時、私は小さくてしずかな子供でした。 小学に、友だちがあまりいなかったけど、たいてい一人とか二人ちかくに友だちがいました。 小学の四年生から六年生まで、いい友だちがいました。 なまえはローレンです。 ローレンさんはやさしくてきれいでした。 

毎日、学校の後いっしょに帰りました。 小学校のとなりにねこがいる家がありました。 四ひきのねこがいて、ときどき五ひきのねこがいました。 お母さんのねこと三びきの子ねこと男せいのねこでした。 ローレンさんと私はどうぶつが好きで、ねこがかわいかったから、私たちはよくねことあそびました。 

それから、小学校のちかくのコミュニティセンターに行きました。 そこで少し休みました。 その時にマンガのことをよく話しました。 私たちは「美少女戦士セーラームーン」が大好きでしたから。 

そして、家に帰った時、私はスナックを食べたりテレビを見たりえをかいたりしました。 その後で、しゅくだいをして、晩ごはんを食べて、寝ました。

学校の後毎日はそんなかんじでした。
Translation:
My Childhood

In my childhood, I was a small and quite child. In elementary school, I did not have a lot of friends, but I usually had either one or two close friends. From fourth to sixth grade, I had a good friend whose name was Lauren. Lauren was nice and pretty.

Every day, after school, we walked home together. Next to the elementary school was a house that had cats. There were four, sometimes five cats. They were a mother cat, three kittens, and a male cat. Since Lauren and I like animals and the cats were cute, we often played with them.

After that, we went to the community center nearby the elementary school. Over there, we would rest a little. During this time, we often talked a lot about manga comics. This is because we both loved “Sailor Moon”.

Then, after returning home, I would do things like eating snacks, watch TV, or draw. After that, I did homework, ate dinner, and went to bed.

Every day after elementary school was like that.
作文はみじかいな。 私の日本語がまだまだ・・・ だから、少しだけ書くのことができる。

The essay is short, isn’t it? My Japanese is still... That’s why I can only write a little.



さくぶんへのついかのしこう/Additional thoughts to the essay:


ローレンさんはいい友達だった。 小学の後、 わたしはあたらしい家をいどうした。 だから、小学の友達みんなを見なかった。 
ときどき、みんなが今何をしているのをかんがえる。 みんな元気? ローレンさんはまだアニメやマンガが好き? 
そんな思い出を思い出すとき、そんなことをかんがえる。 

Lauren was a good friend. After elementray school, I moved houses. That’s why I didn’t see any of my elementary school friends anymore. Sometimes, I wonder what everyone is doing now. Is everyone doing well? Does Lauren still like things like anime and manga? When I remember such memories, I think of such things.

まあね、 今まで私は友達があまりいない。 ちょっとかなしいね? でも、私はさびしくない・・・たぶん私に、しゅうかんになった。 たくさん友達がいるのはいいと思う。 けど、ちょっとたいへんね。 私の思い。 

Well, even now, I don’t have a lot of friends. Kind of sad, isn’t it? However, I don’t feel lonely... Maybe for me, it’s become a habit.

I think having many friends is good, but it’s also a bit tough, isnt it? My thoughts.


そんな感じで、

Wish list: Shoes ♥

One of the bloggers I follow, Itoshii, shared the webstore where she got her lovely new fav boots. Her boots are ultra cool and I've been wanting some Jeffrey Campbell styled shoes myself. <3

Please take a look at her blog here. She does a lot of wig reviews. ^_^

I'm super happy Itoshii was so nice to share because I just absolutely adore these shoes!!!


I'm proud to be an American (* ^ー゚)

The peacock feather, tassle, animal print <3


I'm still in an in-between about these next two...
...but I love the tribal/exotic look
...and check out that heel!


I definitely want to purchase the first two shoes, but I'm broke atm! Hopefully I can find myself a relatively 'easy' summer job... I'm sure it'll be a little tough though. I'd like to try working in retail, but no experience. Also, being summer and all, lots of high school students are probably looking for work as well.

There's a lot more shoes (plus clothes & accessories) available from the website. Check them out at GoJane.com.
