The bad part of today was that I had to teach an observation class in front of parents, which was really nerve-wracking, and on top of my nervousness, the kids were nervous too and raised their hands even less than usual in that particularly quiet class ( Read more... )

The good news: I got some more chocolates done today after a lot of adventures in candy cane smashing. I wanted to make white chocolate-peppermint and dark chocolate half and half chocolates, because I have a lot of candy canes that I've been given around Christmas time over the years… and of course, also because mint chocolate is delicious. But ( Read more... )

I know this is late, but in case anyone hasn't heard yet, the photo that came out last week of Inoo that claimed to be taken at a cabaret club was actually taken at a karaoke and party venue, a private event venue and bar called "Moment" in Roppongi. So that means ( Read more... )

The snow seriously needs to stop. T___T; This morning it surprisingly snowed despite the fact that the weather said it was supposed to be clear, and I had to walk to school, since biking was out of the question. I don't really have proper shoes for the snow, but luckily, I didn't slip or ruin my shoes, at the very least. What's with all the snow ( Read more... )

Yesterday, an Arashi fan friend from work came over to watch stuff! She's interested in NEWS and JUMP outside of Arashi, so she wanted to see Ya-ya-yah, and was also interested in seeing some of the s3art DVD. I think she enjoyed them! We also watched the first episode of Kaitou Yamaneko, and then the Arashi ni Shiyagare with Kame right after, ( Read more... )

Well, I still feel truly gross, but on the bright side…

I HIT FOR ARENA FOR JUMP COUNTDOWN!

It's my first time hitting for arena, so I'm really excited! I've been in the arena with yomimashou, who somehow hits for arena like all the time, as well as with secondhand tickets, but this is the first time they've had my name on them! I'm really excited ( Read more... )

On top of everything else, I think I'm coming down with something T___T;;; My throat really hurts, and I just started feeling totally like crap starting around 10 am today. I'm hoping I can get some rest and avoid the worst of it, but as of right now, I feel pretty crappy ( Read more... )

Why is it that I've been doing winged liquid eyeliner for about 5 years now and I still can't get it right?? I feel like I get the wings to look almost perfectly even maybe 5% of the time, mostly even about 30% of the time, pretty meh but acceptable maybe 50%, and so bad that I have to redo them 15% of the time. Before I started liquid liner, I ( Read more... )

This weekend is going to suck >_< Tomorrow, I have to get up early to go get my hair done and then get ready and go to a wedding. I'm looking forward to it-- I want to go to a Japanese wedding, I'm looking forward to getting all dressed up, and I'm sure it will be a really fun and interesting experience, but I really am afraid of making a mistake ( Read more... )
