Finally, I'm getting around to writing my report from NEWS's Quartetto concert in Tokyo Dome. Better late than never? I'm sorry I'm awful about doing these things on time T__T ( Read more... )

This is really late, but during spring break, yomimashou and I went around to the various locations in Tokyo to see the Sensations costumes! Sadly, unlike last year, we weren't able to go to any locations outside of Tokyo, but at least we got to see three different sets of costumes! While I know photos aren't really as exciting as the real thing, I wanted ( Read more... )

I'm so proud of the uchiwa that I made for NEWS's Quartetto tour that I took way too many pictures, but I really want to share them here. Since my IRL friends group is four people, I was really excited that it worked out that we could do a complete set of four! It's so adorable that NEWS has shapes and colors, and that fact really lends itself to ( Read more... )

Life is going about as shittily as it has been for the past two weeks, but I've been trying to have a little fun, too. Yesterday I laminated about 50 namecards that my students made in class to help them remember how to write their names properly in English when they get to JHS (the first day, before they learn anything, they have to write their ( Read more... )

This is quite late, but on the last day of February, I gave out the last of my Valentine's Day chocolates to the other ALTs (foreign English teachers) in my city. We have a meeting once a month, so even though it was long after Valentine's day, it was my only chance to give them out. These ones were matcha and dark chocolate or almond milk ( Read more... )

I got the grand majority of my chocolates done this weekend! As usual, I'm making chocolates for my elementary school, my junior high, and the ALTs, but since I only see the other ALTs once a month, and significantly after Valentine's day, I have a little bit of leeway on those. So far, I've gotten three types of chocolate done, so while I haven' ( Read more... )

This weekend, I started on this year's chocolate adventures. Last year, I was rushed and way too ambitious with my designs (placing individual sprinkles on each one probably takes like 2-3 minutes, so that means when doing a batch of 36, since things tend to come in 6 or 12, just the decoration itself takes more than an hour, sometimes almost two ( Read more... )

After New Year's, I had a lot of new uchiwa from Countdown, as well as a new Inochan poster, and there was a lot of fan stuff in my apartment that was sort of disorganized even though I wanted to display it, so I took the time to get some new things up on my walls! It's not a lot, but I enjoy looking at it every day. ♥

I realized it's been a really ling time since I've posted my nails! I do new nails about once a month, give or take… basically, whenever the old ones break, with upcoming events in mind. I try to have nice new nail designs for concerts to match my outfit on the day of the concert, or else in member colours, though of course sometimes it doesn't ( Read more... )

At long last, the uchiwa are finally done! As always, they're not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with how they came out. The theme was the letterman jackets from the s3art tour (everyone's favourite costumes right now… XD) and I think they fit the theme. I made Ino-chan for me, Yabu for yomimashou, and Keito for britkit27~
