Master Entry
Last update: January, 2017こんにちは！
For starters, I'm Riku! A 27 year old, crazy dutch girl from the Netherlands. I have a bachelor degree in Japanese studies & I am currently working as freelance translator ( Read more... ) -
Yes, I hate translations tests!
Another translation test done (yesterday) and yes, I absolutely hate taking those ( Read more... ) -
Proud of my dad!
My next trip to Japan is turning out to become a real family party!
As is should be, after all we'll be going there for my older brother's wedding!
My mother booked her tickets months ago, I booked my tickets earlier today...
(So, I'll be in Japan from 27 October - 15 December, flying starts on the 26th)AND MY FATHER JUST AGREED TO COME ALONG TOO ( Read more... ) -
Japan Expo 2017
Long time no see? While I was in Japan pretty much all my blogging moved to my tumblr and... I guess I never really returned to LJ. ^^;; It's probably that I hardly have time to write any long entries, because I'm too lazy and keep wasting time on things that aren't important ( Read more... ) -

Only one week to go...!
With only one week to go until I leave for Japan, I figured it was about time I took care of some little things that I've been putting off all this time, because it just didn't seem necessary yet. And even now, it felt like I could still put them off... xD In attempt to keep my nerves in check, I just went into some sort of denial that I'll be ( Read more... ) -
It's not my problem... but it is!
Yesterday I received a new shipment of my prescribed contact lenses. Unfortunately, the box opened during transit and some of my contacts fell out. Meaning, I'm missing 6 months worth of contacts for my right eye. Which sucks, because I do need them ( Read more... ) -
The attention span of a fish...
How do people manage to stay concentrated on their work? It's a mystery to me! As much as I enjoy my work, I absolutely can't stay focused. The 2 hours go well, but after that ( Read more... )
