i'm alive, i'm alive... i can breathe through my nose now, yeay!
wow, this week has gone by SO quickly, last sunday when i got sick, that same day shige came up and we went to the infamous PINK COW restaurant in aoyama for their filmmarmalade night. kris and chalo were already there, and we got to drink a few cocktails and watch some....unique short films. the place is like gaijin central. i felt lost in the crowd like back home 0_0;; we topped the night off with a stop at makudo on centa-gai before heading back to the dorm. thanks for coming, shige~ you're welcome back anytime! *^^*
the rest of the week i was cleaning and shopping and trying not to let my cold kill me. it was a hard week, i said goodbye to some people... tina, hiro, and everyone in my dorm who moved out on thrusday like chalo. since everyone moved out, the only person i have talked to besides the counselor is one of my students so im feeling a little lonely at the moment T_T
i spent about 5 *days* cleaning my apartment and room. i put a lot of sweat, time, and money into it. that place is fucking *sparkling* ,yo! i got sick of living in an old, dirty, stained apartment. its still a little stained but it aint dirty, thats for sure! i also reorganized my room, and threw out about 5 huge bags of crap in the process. mostly paper stuffs though. i bought lots of baskets and shelves, and i turned my 押入り into a closet and moved all my furniture around. it looks bootiful and i feel sooo すっきりした ^^
and now ive come full circle and ive been in tokyo for almost a year now... i cant believe it!! this year went by so incredibly fast! it almost makes me sad because i know the next two years will go by even faster... and im having so much fun, i dont want it to gy by *too* quickly T_T
so to commemorate the occasion i have the list of things ive accomsplished this year!
*had a rich boyfriend to take me to all the nice restaurants (ended badly, what a surprise)
*passed 1-kkyu! YESSSSSSSS
*got on national television (albeit somewhat strangely...)
*got scouted~turned them down when they wanted me to buy profile pics..
*got to go to professional fashion shows (going to another on thursday!)
*got to be *in* a fashion show!
*got to see laruku in concert. i also got tics to see them in the tokyo dome this year! i can die happy T_T
*also FINALLY got to see plastic tree, and GO!GO!7188
*met chalo, kiku and tak, who are the coolest people ever
*also got to meet olivia, kenjiro from sexmachineguns, ran into the guys of despairs rays, anzai hiroko, and hung out with some kabuki actors.
*got to dress up goth, punk, and lolita, and prance around at events.
*refined my style. i know EXACTLY what i want, and its super easy to dress and shop
*waited in line for over 6 hours to get fukubukuro at laforet
*survive the rush hour morning train into shinjuku EVERY SINGLE MORNING!...and im still alive to tell about it!
i dont know why, but ive been feeling very "adult" lately. i mean, im 21 years old and i still feel like a kid usually, but i feel a little more grown up lately. im going to be studying what ive ALWAYS wanted to study, so i feel like ive gotten really serious about it lately and so ive gotten a little more serious in my life as well. ive been putting a lot more of a sense of responsibility onto myself and i hope it sticks.
i start school on wednesday! well, its just the 入学式 but its still school... and then classes start the next day *_* i seriously thought classes didnt start until like the 13th or something. i wish i had an extra day to do something fun, but theres just no time. im a little nervous about school, bunka's reputation precedes it as being a REALLY hard school, and my sempai can attest to that... we were on the same campus but she was so freakin busy with school projects and homework all the time that we only saw each other 4 times this whole year *_*i had paid about $1,350 in class materials fees a couple weeks ago and this huge box came with all my books and some sewing supplies. made me excited to get started, but also really nervous. im more nervous im not gonna like what ive chosen to study >_< its like getting cold feet before a wedding.
anyway, i guess i should get ready and just dip my damn feet in the water. tomorrow is another day! but before i leave, i would like to share with everyone this photoalbum i made of funny and silly and absurd things ive seen in japan this year. some more things come to mind, but alas i had no camera when i saw them (its why i need a new phone!)
