Thursday night

Went with some people to Oretachi no Toririn, it's another branch in the "ore"-network(remember my old hangout place Orenchi Koi in Takadanobaba?). As with the other location, the feel and staff in the place was awesome. Spent a few hours there being confused over that the names of the cocktails was changed around, and played cards(I became president!).

12 aces!

Kyokutou Girl Friend and Sayonara Party

So last saturday me and my roomie went to see the band Kyokutou Girl Friend at Holiday Shinjuku. Since they are disbanding rather soon they have a weekly live thing, and we went to volume 2. Other bands playing where, 　トーマス(thomas),　ヴィデオグラマァ(video glamour),　LIPCHLICH, ドクターマルモット(Doctor Marmot), F’Ar÷EAST†KANφJO(Kyokutou Girl Friend alterego band), コドモドラゴン(Kodomo Dragon). First band was the KGF alterego band, wich was rather entertaining since they came up in early Visual Kei type of costumes (orange wigs, too much black makeup etc) and did some covers of that kind of bands.
Since it was Kyokutou Girl Friends event, the rest of the time was waiting. 6 hours of waiting to be exact. I had great hopes for both Doctor Marmot and Video Glamour but none of them were as I expected, so I was kinda disappointed.
When finally Kyokutou came up on stage all I could think was "I'll be going home soon!!", but disregarding that it was fun seeing them again, seeing how it was a bit over 2 years since I last saw them.

Kyokutou Girl Friend "Doku" Mask (Doku means poison).
Oh how we hassled the staff woman, seeing how Martin wanted to buy fifty-eleven copies of everything they sold, haha.

After the concert, when I thought I was going home, we instead ended up going to an acquaintances Sayonara party, she's going back to Korea. It was fun and cozy as it always is(they usually have homeparties in her guesthouse). Me and my roomie decided to walk home instead of taking the train, and somehow the less than an hour long walk ended after 7 hours, walking all around the northwest part of Tokyo.

I know everyone has probably seen this already but I think it's funny!

So that was a lengthy post about nothing in particular!
My everyday life right now is a rollercoaster of one moment having so much doubts about myself(I barely graduated junior high, and now I'm trying to get a job?), to being super confident(nothing matters but willpower! I can do it!).

The day of arrival!

So Zara has finally come!
Managed to miss my stop on the way to Narita because my favorite yoghurt of all time (only available in Sweden) showed up on the tv-screens in a commercial and I .. yeah, blacked out kinda. Thankfully her flight was delayed, unfortunatly it was by an hour, and with the time customs take, I waited for quite a while!

But now she's here, and we decided to go easy on the first day and just stroll around Ikebukuro a while~

My hood!

Takoyakii

Our plan was to eat Shabu Shabu, but it didn't open till five, and when we got there 2 minutes to five, there was like.. 75 peope queuing.. Ehh.
So we thought, curry! And went to the fancy curry restaurant. It didn't open until six.

Ended up on an Izakaya, cheap and easy way to show Zara some japanese dishes!

Japanese souvernirs

One thing I truly enjoy about Japan is souvernirs. There's so many, and so strange!
It seems fun to collect too, a friend in school collects Stitch(disney)-straps from different locations, and I'd love to do the same, allthought themed Marie things isn't so popular it seems..

But at FujiQ I bought this matching couple!
My roommate wanted something cheap and fun as a souvenir, so I got this. The reason it's the both of them is because I wanted one too, haha

S/M Fujisan!

Piggy tights for piggys.

Soo, since I'm obsessed with loosing weight lately I decided to give something new a try, that I've been seeing around.
Calorie off tights! Sounds silly but yeah, they are supposed to increase your.. calorie burning with 400kcal per hour of walking!
Tomorrow I'll go with my school to Fuji Q Highland (=lot's of walking) and I'm gonna try them out and see how it feels

And the package is hilarious!

(And just so everyone knows, yes, I know the best way to loose weight is by steadily change your eating habits and become more physically active, but I like to explore the shortcuts, and in Japan there are so so so many shortcuts!)



Oh! And about the Germanium Roller I'd say it's worth the money(if you buy one of the cheaper one's, the "real deal" costs like 20 000yen!)!
Atleast when it comes to dark circles (can't really say anything about wrinkles, since I don't have any), but after using it under my eyes I can really see improvement. Unfortunatly I didn't take any before pictures so.. Yeah.

My own personal brand of...

... painkillers!

Decotimes!

So, I've been thinking about deco for a long time now.
And, the otherday I finally did it!

My victim was my beaten up cellphone.

It's really simple, but I'm really proud over the outcome, especially since it's my first time!
The next day I deco'd my camera too, but since I used the same materials they are completly matching, so just think this deco on a camera, haha.

Happy days

Had one of those ridicilous days with Malin yesterday.
You know, when you haven't really slept, woken up at seven, gone to school, fallen over at curryplace and then decide it's time to find a Parka. (Found a great one, btw!)
You always end up with strange purikura and matching berets.

This is actually a pretty accurate picture of how we look like in a car.
I always smile maniaclly and make thumbs up when riding a car.

Pannkaka(Pancake) is a swedish internetmeme based on this
Yum Yum Yummy.. well that's a crepeplace in Harajuku.

Bowlorama

Wah, had a great time yesterday.
Went with my friend Malin to meet her friend, a canadian guy!
I'm kinda scared meeting new people but he was actually one of those awesome people that you just feel comfortable with within a second!

Also made my first bowling appearance in years! Though it was only the 3rd time ever in my life that I did so. Made two strikes! Fell on my face once and threw the ball backwards once.
All in all, a success!


Aand cue for outfit picture.

Guess I should start trying to take them in the day!

Full day! Ueno zoo!

Ahh, today was awesome! Allthough the sky was filled with rain that just wanted to pour, it still was a very nice day at the zoo! Very cold, though.
We didn't walk through the whole zoo, since last time we were there we missed one half, and that's the half we took this time! Giraaffes! :D
Afterwards we went to Harajuku, took some purikura and I found the shoes of my dreams! Going back for them tomorrow I hope. And even after that off to Ikebukuro and some cheap Izakaya goodness. Aaaand I finally bought new fakenails! :D

Pictures in chronological order!

Mouses in the mini petting-zoo

Jackass penguins, no really it's their name!

Giraffe ♥

Lizard ride! (who cares about hair when they're on a zoo??)

Purikura!

Izakayaa~~

Fancy naaails!

Life as a banana

Well, no problemos!
The doctor I first saw was sure that because I was yellow (yes, like a canary), that I suffered from, Jaundice, and overlooked the other health issues I had. So I had to travel by car for 3 hours there and 3 hours back to a bigger hospital, be sat in an infection-cell(because Hepatitis is kinda contagious.) and there they find out I have the kissing disease. Oh Merry Christmas, Swedish health-system! Oh well, easy mistake. It's really rare that you turn yellow by kissing disease, but my liver was feeling sad and underappreciated so it felt it needed to do something drastic for me to care about it.

Anyway, long story short, going back to Tokyo tomorrow, and no party pics for a while, cause I can't drink! Life sucks sometimes, but let's be happy anyway!

And I'm not that yellow anymore! I'm starting to be more in the shade of milked out eggnog!

100th!

My 100th post on here~

Anyway!

First of all, today was great! After spending 4 hours in school with a serious headdache because Keigo is SOO hard, I went out with Malin and Ylva for some park hanging and cocktail drinking! (On a Thursday? Oh my!)
In baba there's a really nice izakaya right next to my school, cocktails are 413yen each, and after 23 you get 5hour Nomihodai for 15ooyen! And the staff is so so so great!
We ended up ordering 12ここどこ？ (+ some others), but really, the name is so great. It means "Where is this?".

And, of course, mandatory purikura!

Eyes of huge.

Also, last week Malin, Martin and Ylva went to Disneyland with their school, and being awesome friends, they brought back some stuff for me!

Marie Passport-case, Metal candy box, face masks, and a phone strap!
(Huge Marie of doom in background)

(The review of the lenses has to wait since my camera and laptop wont work togheter :( )

Future career in the blooming.

Met up with Ylva after school in Shinjuku, to eat Takoyaki.
Takoyaki eating extended to Udon eating, Purikura and shopping(for her).
I've somehow becomed blocked, I don't know what to buy.
I do know that I really want a lace hoodie I saw in a store the other day, it'd be perfect for summer since I don't like showing my arms~


Oh, I dyed my hair yesterday!
Heres a puri of doom to show it:

If you can't read it, it says:
Date
Tentacle Pornstars
たこ焼き食べに行こう！
(Let's go eat Takoyaki!)

I made a short video of the Takoyaki since it was scary. I'll post it sometime.

The bird goes tweet tweet

So, we did go to Harajuku in vain, but, well, it was fun anyway.

We checked out some randomstuff located off-Takeshita Doori, and went to eat.

When we were going home though, ahh.

We half-run up the stairs to the station, and saw our train standing there.

Thinking "ah, we wont make it anyway" we slowed down in the stairs.

When we got up, the doors were still open, but we thought "ah, we wont make it anyway", and stood still infront of the doors.

They never closed!

And to top it off, it was completly silent in the platform, and the train, and then the bird-sound started playing. Ahh, hysterics. We laughed until the next train came.

Real life vs Cyber life

Haha, I realized this yesterday:


At Pupe, there's some furry pink boots..
They look like this:

(Close up)
They've been around for about a year, atleast.

Then, there's these boots from Liz Lisas autumn/winter collection..
They look like this:


Is it just a funny coincidence, or has Liz Lisa taken some inspiration from Pupe?
