心斎橋姫様と梅田餃王子の楽しい冒険物語
So, I feel like I'm going broke and decided to go sell at Pure Sound in Shinsaibashi and sold stuff. Well, it was only half a good idea cuz I got 4,480 yen for 19 CDs. =/ I should have kept 12 of them, and just sold 7...which were actually worth a decent amount. I kinda regret selling so quickly. Why did I agree?! I should have just said no to all the ones that only sold for 10yen and 50yen. Wtf is that about? And the guy even forgot to give us back our bags. =O I pbb could have sold the CDs for $5 a pop, and still made more $. Such regretfulness. -_- As I'm looking at the receipt...
Well, I guess I'm jumping ahead of myself here. Me & Nikki (do you prefer Nicola? I dunno) decided that for my first day off, we'd go to Shinsaibashi! And be Innocent World lolitas~ XD Lotsa fun. I decided the night before that I didn't wanna change there, and would instead just dress lolita from the get-go. If I had changed there, I would have had to carry a great deal of things...since my dress was poofy and I had a petticoat. So, we had decided 12pm at Daimaru exit...but I needed an extra 30min...and was still a few minutes late. -_- My Innocent World shoes were well-worn by the end of the day. ^^
We headed over to Big Joy so that she could go get changed. It's the purikura center in Shinsaibashi, and it has a nice cosplay area. We spent awhile in there. We met a girl named "Haru" (age 16), who is also from the Bay Area...she goes to Fanime, and pretty much every jrock event held in America. And has been to Europe, just to see bands. Uh huh. She even bought tickets for Undercode events in February. Pretty hard core. ._. Ahem. We hung out w/ her for a great deal of the day since she's just here on vacation.
We did one set of pics, searched for Osaka Muse, and then headed over to AmeMura. Gah. PureSound is a bit of a bitch to sell to...as I've mentioned before. =/ They don't give you the prices listed on the site. It's such misinformation. I really regret not keeping those 12 CDs. Why am I always like this?! Regretting things I didn't do. Anyway, it's on the 5th floor! No elevator. And we had to leave our merch there for about 30min, then come back. I had never done this before...I'll pbb never do this again. T_T We decided to kill some time in McDonalds after that. The one close to Big Step is so nice. I like going there. My roommate has some deathly fear of McDs...no idea why. Kinda weird. McChicken & Hot Apple Pie. 200yen spent.
Then, we went to the Shin & Company store...and browsed around. Very cute, but I never buy any stuff. The price is never right cuz I know everything is cheaper in HK. It's ruined me, for sure. So we stay in there until we have to go pick up our cash. "Haru" ended up getting quite a bit...while I just looked longingly at cute coinpurse pouches that were plushie. :D We went back to PureSound, and I was totally devastated by my small sum. I actually expected 2x that..which would have been the case if the buybacks weren't totalled at 10yen and 50yen apiece for most of the items. Fucking sucked. Nikki & I left w/o our bags, which we had to go back for. -_- Oops.
We then spent a great deal of time in the PureSound visual shop looking at band goods. I wanna buy up some DespairsRay goods. =X Some are quite pricey. There were KuRt things...Girugamesh things, Unsraw things, etc. But I settled on a Despa decal set & signed postcard and an Unsraw signed postcard. Plus, there was a 30% off discount on all of these items...so that was awesome! The total ended up being 1,610yen; it's cool...I now have a マニア向け decal on my phone.
Then, we headed over to Sexy Dynamite London...since "Haru" asked about it. I had never been in there before since, I don't like to go into stores by myself cuz I feel like I'm being accosted by the clerks. They had some cute furry things that piqued my interest...but I wouldn't pay such a high amount for. But so...soft. *_* Nikki caved in for a polka dot scarf, which is so her. And "Haru" bought loads of stuffs. I thought the beanie was cute...but I don't look good in those. =_= She seems to like pink quite a bit.
We walked back towards Triangle Park to go into the Disney Store. XDDD!! So fucking cute in there! Everything is so soft! I want to buy EVERY PILLOW!!! However, I'm sane...and wouldn't do that, since it'd be quite costly. I found this Nightmare Before Christmas plushie pouch that would be good to wear during lives...instead of carrying a bag all the time. It'd be more convenient. Yup. I'll buy it next time I go. Shouldn't be spending this kinda $ all the time. $_$
Afterwards, we decided that it was time to go to the princess cafe in the same building as Innocent World and across from Angelic Pretty. Ya! It's called Sweet Maiden. And it really was sweet!! There were only 8 customers in the place...and it was almost at capacity. I ate omelette rice w/ meat sauce. Pretty good. Not 750yen good...but all right. I could pbb make it myself. I was paying for the atmosphere. I know. I also brought out my Prince in Prague photobook of DBSK to show Nikki. XDDD!! We're in a princess cafe looking at princes! :D Seemed fitting enough. We gushed over them. Especially Hero. So fun. Not really enough time to gush cuz the food came quickly. Everything is served on heart dishes. I think next time...I wanna try the chocolate fondue, since I have a 10% off for next time.
My 10%off coupon for next time.
Inside of the restaurant.
Sipping water outta Nana strawberry glasses.
Just chilling. I shoulda pulled my sleeves down.
I took off the detachable ones.
"Haru" & her Princess Lunch.
Nikki & her Hayashi Rice.
I forgot to take a picture w/ me & the rice. Oops.
Oh well. All gone.
Mmm. Prince in Prague. Best dish.
It was so heavy carrying them around all day.
Hmm, and at this point...I realized I forgot my Hello Kitty tote at PureSound. Yup. Hmm. These bad experiences at other record shops make me REALLY love DeadOne...even though their selection is nowhere near the other 2. =/ So. Likea for pre-orders & PureSound for goods. Hmm, good strategy. Haha. At this point, "Haru" needed to go back...so she took a taxi. After our excursion up to the 5th floor again...we just headed over to Big Step.
Checked Dead One...Nikki got to use her full card to get the new KuRt single..which has their new looks. *sigh* They only had their new look for one day. ;___; She got a Saburo card. No Yuma at all. We passed by a few shops and went to KERA...gawked at prices and cuteness, then left. Didn't see any news of Suppurate System. Except I saw some relatively new things...and some were taken out of the sweet displays. Passed by the relocated Gloomy store. God! Everytime I pass by some huge display, I totally just wanna steal it. The inflatable McFlurry at McDonalds. I want it. The ginormous Gloomy. I want it. *_* I would have a small apt. full of huge things. Would be a cool photo essay probably.
Of course, we went to RagTag...cuz, um, hot guys shop there! XP They do. Known fact, or at least it should be. I browsed through the jewelry...and am always tempted by the Michal Negrin stuff, even though I prefer her cameo & flower pieces to her regular crystal stuff. At one point, we headed over to the LV/Dior/Chanel goods section that's all spotlighted and stuff. And this one staff guy was like watching us look at stuff. T_T I hate that. I dunno if he was thinking we were gonna steal something or if he was gonna get some sale commission. It's just annoying. The used stuff didn't seem all that expensive to me; I was quite surprised by the affordability of the jewelry. There were these 2 skinny hosts guy, and it was so funny...cuz they were trying on outerwear. One dude was so fucking skinny, I dunno how he was standing... Literally a stick. Mighta been gay...don't really know or care.
Ah, then we went to Big Joy again to take purikura of just US! XD It was suddenly getting incredibly chilly in Osaka. And Nikki wanted to change into her jeans...then we took some cute pics, one of which is now my cell phone background. XD Afterwards, we headed over to Umeda for some gyoza-FUN!!! Of course, it was another Acqua search gone bust. =/ I keep forgetting that it costs 230yen from Shinsaibashi to Umeda...normally cuz I don't ever use the regular tickets when I go to more than one place. Hosts in the station always seem so pathetic. It's one thing to wait on ladies in the cloak of the night, but it's so fucking bright in the subway station...they actually need to put their sunglasses to use.
I have this as my cell background.
I realized I spelled innocent incorrectly
on our 3-person purikura. =_=;;;
I am engrish.
Umeda was SO FUCKING COLD. At this point, I can't even really tell the hosts from normal boys anymore...it's like fucking impossible. I feel like all Osaka boys are hosts or just hosts-in-training. =_= We go to Hep 5 to hit their purikura center at the top. It's funny cuz...everyone is just inside loitering and trying to stay outta the cold. It's so motherfucking cold in Umeda!! The wind was blowing so hard...much worse than Shinsaibashi...which was pretty bad when crossing over Midosuji, but my dress was heavy enough. I felt like I was gonna be blown over. My hair must have gotten bigger, too. =X
We took the sparkly ones again~ XD I looked for the machine the other time, but it had moved. I guess they move around in the night. x_X Wow, every place I went to today felt rather packed...pbb cuz everyone's on vacation now. Ugh. Too crowded. We actually had to wait for booths today. ~_~ The arcades were full of boys. Band boys at that. They go in all pimped w/ their sunglasses, and I just wanna laugh. Dude, it's like 7pm...the sun went down 3hrs ago. o_O
Yea, so after that, we passed by the Stitch store...and the Snoopy store, which had takoyaki Snoopy. Otherwise known as Snoopyaki. Uh huh. We went back down to the entrance, only to see that the ppl had multiplied. We just wanted to get out into the blistering cold. The kinda cold that just makes you wanna grit your teeth and say "shit-shit-shit"...which is what I did. So, off we are to Namco Gyoza-ness! XD We pass by more hosts, incognito hosts, pseudo-hosts, and salarymen w/ host hair. It's like impossible to get away. We passed by the bowling alley...which has like the world's biggest bowling pin on the roof. Of course. I wanted to steal it. Nikki and I came up w/ a surefire strategy on how to take it home. It involved getting ppl to walk from Umeda to where I live. I'm sure it'd cost a lot of manpower...and no one would help me. -_-
Somehow, I think Japanese guys aren't very good stalkers. They're so obvious. I swear this guy in a purple down jacket was walking left as we were going right, but then somehow we crossed paths again as we were walking straight to Namco. Strange. Yea. We went up quite a few escalators and passed by many, many, many, sad, sad ppl spending their winter holiday in the arcades. But me & Nikki were awesome! Cuz we had gyoza, which I don't have a picture of. XO We got the gyoza plate for 2 from TetsuNabe. Mmm. 1,260 for like 20 gyoza? I forgot. So yummy! The guy who worked at the suigyoza place gave us wet wipes...even though we didn't go to his stand. o_o He was cute! Lotsa cute guys today. I love today! XD We enjoyed ourselves~ When were deciding where to sit...one side had a cute businessman-type, and the other side was sparsely filled. So, I decided on the empty side. =X Damn. I think he was cute. They kept ordering more gyoza...it was pretty funny. I thought they had left, but really...it was to order more gyoza. -_- The suigyoza guy, who's last name is Kamegawa (turtle river)...also took away our stuff after we're done. We are inclined that this whole gyoza feud is a hoax...and all the restaurants are in on it w/ each other.
Hmm, by this time...it was about 20:15, and Nikki had to go home. =/ No search for us this time. We hurried over to Osaka station. And it was quite a fight! I lost feeling in my legs at some time during the night...and didn't fully regain them until I got back home. I took JR to save $ again...and the walk is much longer, but whatever. It was a nice walk back home. Except for the fact it was freezing. I listened to KuRt on my way back. Just so sad. ;_______;
Anyway, now I'm beat...it's 3:20. Oops. Will spend tmrw selling. Must list EVERYTHING!!
Well, I guess I'm jumping ahead of myself here. Me & Nikki (do you prefer Nicola? I dunno) decided that for my first day off, we'd go to Shinsaibashi! And be Innocent World lolitas~ XD Lotsa fun.
