No more snacks..

お菓子がもう食べられない(ノД`)・゜・。

お菓子- okashi- sweets/ candy/ snacks

I can't eat them(´ω｀。)

....
Or at least for now.

Lent started last Wednesday.

And I gave up all unnatural snacks. Including these jumbo pack of ginger thins I just discovered last week

Cries....

I'm going to have to eat fruits, veggies and nuts for snack from now on.

But I can still have bread and cheese which means grilled cheese is still on!! 

It's a beautiful day!!!!

And in this glorious weather a couple of guys were handing out books in front of campus!

It's called Too Far and so far it reminds me of a Bridge to Terabithia; two children escape from their own reality to play in the woods and create a world using their imagination.

That movie made me cry ;w;

I really hope this book has a happy ending.

It's pretty short, almost 250 pages. I'll probably finish it by tomorrow.

And it came with a CD. I listened to the first track and it wasn't that great....

Anyways!

Today is a good day because...

the socks that Japanese students gave me fit!! 

I swore I'd have to throw them away or give them to somebody! But they're perfect!

It's kind of hard to explain why this excites me

1. I love Hello Kitty

2. They're from the Sanrio store in Japan

3. The kind of socks that I'm wearing is more important to me that the kind of shoes I'm wearing

I love socks. I wear socks more often than I wear shoes because I dance in them and for some reason I get compliments on my socks all the time..

I know this post was kind of random, but I have so may different things in my head right now.

My choreography, school work, I haven't eaten today yet, my class that's at four, what I'm going to do when  finally get home this weekend..etc.

Ahh!!!!

The sooner this week is over the better!!

I need lunch.

Time for a sandwhich!

Ciao ♥

お土産！ Japanese souvenirs!

Good Morning!!

おはようございます！

It's been a while since my last update...

久しぶりですね。。

It's starting to get busy around here between rehearsal and school work and actually having a social life ><!!

But something GREAT happened last week!

About thirty dance major students from Japan took classes at my school for about a week!

私の大学に３０人の日本の大学生が来ました！！((o(^∇^)o))

Japanese dance majors!

Cool!!

The last time Japanese students visited our school it was part of an interdisciplinary (many-major) project affiliated with the school. They stayed for fourteen days and we became friends!

02/??/2011

We were split into groups of 5 or so. Our group used video projection and an installation made of rope. I got to dance though ALL of that. Moving in a yukata is not easy ....But it is fun!!

Actually I just got a letter from one of them today!

今日は日本人の友達の手紙をもらいました！

Tsu-chan! She even included pictures from the time they were here!

Her English is less than perfect but it's a really cute letter!!! She's a painting major ^___^

But this time it was a complete surprise! Only the teachers knew they were coming and didn't even bother to tell us =/ 

I didn't mind^^

Not many people talked to them (language gap and all) so I tried to talk to as many of them as possible.

Which was fun...and embarrassing.

And they brought stuff!!!

They gave out little souvenirs to people they met. Here's just some of the stuff I got.

日本人学生から日本のお土産をもらいました！

Hello Kitty stickers, socks, chopsticks, and a pin with ONE PIECE AND HELLO! KITTY ON IT

I don't watch One Piece....but this is really cute ♥

And Kit-Kat O.o

I don't think you guys understand how much I love Kit-Kat

This is a Sakura Matcha Kit-Kat!

桜抹茶！！

It's only available in Japan in the springtime! ;w; I am blessed to have tried it!!

It was delicious(´▽｀)

めっちゃおいしかったです！！

Yesterday was the Japanese' students' last day here so they celebrated at the Hard Rock Cafe!

最後の日には日本学生と一緒にHard Rock Cafeでパーティをしました＾＾

And they invited me!! They said I could invite friends so I brought my friend Tom with me.

It was my first time eating there!

It was so much fun!! We ate three plates of appetizers and shared two sundaes. And I guess they didn't find it weird to eat off of us because I sure didn't care!

That sundae was great(´▽｀)

But I wish I had known that they were covering the whole tab otherwise I wouldn't have ordered that seven dollar frozen fruity drink thing....

We bonded over Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and danced Tsukema Tsukeru at the dinner table. 

皆はテーブルできゃりーぱみゅぱみゅのつけまつけるに踊りましたヽ( ´¬`)ノ 

That was great!

I'm so glad to have met them! 

みんなに会えてよかったです！

Great things have been happening to me lately and I'm just feeling grateful for every one of them^^

I really should finish this homework><!

Ciao ♥

のらくら！！！

LOOK!!

If you can't watch it because you have no account here's the version that's available on YT

Isn't this adorable???

And she's so good at emoting （　´∀｀）

And her glasses are adorable!

She's adorable!

メガネのらくらが一番かわいいと思います！！

いいな♥

I want another school uniform!

I want glasses

I want to be able to dance with as much feeling as Norakura^^

征服が欲しい！

目がねが欲しい！

本物の笑顔で踊りたいです！！

But for now..

I must get ready to go see another dance show!

Ciao ♥

またね！！

Ari left yesterday

Cries(ノД`)・゜・。

I probably won't see her again for a while.

But I had a great time for the four day she was here!

We went to Five Guys again Monday night.

We went window shopping Tuesday between my morning and afternoon classes.

We popped in the Adidas store

Recently Ari and I have been obsessed with Adidas merchandise><! 

I want this bag!!!

Wednesday since my classes started in the afternoon we did a Nico live! 

And then we took some pictures

Good lord

I think next time we might actually do a weird face battle!

That might be fun :) 

変顔！！！

ニコ生の見てくれた皆さんありがとうございました！！

楽しかったです^^

次回は変後バトルをしましょうか？

笑　

This week classes were brutal and I didn't have much energy. So I feel like I neglected my sister a little bit because I didn't want to do anything(´ω｀。)グスン

ごめんね。。。

But we did work on some original choreography. Though I probably won't see Ari for a while so I have NO CLUE when that will be done!

In any case, it was a good week（　´∀｀）

Even though Ari won't be here, please come to see my lives if you have time! I usually do one on Wednesdays at around 11:30am EST!

もし、暇だったら、アリはいないのに私のニコ生をちょっと見て下さい！

お願いします！

Right!! I have class soon!

Ciao ♥

Ari!!! アリが来るぞ！！

Ari's coming!!

アリが来るぞ！！！

ヽ(´▽`)/

She has no classes this week until Thursday so she'll be staying with me from tomorrow until then｡◕‿◕｡)ﾉ

明日はらもう曜日までアリは私のアパートに滞在しますヽ(´▽`)/

Hmmm..not sure if I said that right....↑

間違っていたら直してください！！よろしくお願いします＾＾↑

As you can see I'm using blogging to practice Japanese!! I don't have the confidence to blog on ameblo yet (although I do actually have an account he he )

After rehearsal today I went for a walk!!

今日はリハーサルのあとでお散歩に行ってきました！

They have really interesting garbage cans in my neighborhood

This one is so cute ♥

このゴミ箱かわいくない？＾＾

Also!!

I got excited when I went to the convenience store today because I found THIS!!

Delicious chocolate I've only seen on tumblr!!!

めっちゃおいしかった！！

I had the dark chocolate hazelnut one yesterday

I liked that one more

Ari's coming!! Can't wait!!

We might do a dance cover!!

Yay!!

Ah..I'm going to go stretch now

Ciao♥

絶好調で～すヽ(´▽`)/ I can breathe!!

I'm not sick anymore!!

ヽ(´▽`)/

But I had to stay home an extra day so I didn't go to class at all yesterday....

I felt guilty at first but my roommate told me that everyone needs a break sometimes.

It was surprisingly kind coming from her.

I think we can be friends（　´∀｀）

もう病気ではない！！

でも、昨日また学校を休んでしまいました。。。


でもね、ハウスメイトがいいこと言った

「病気だったら休んでいいですよ」

びっくりした！！あの優しい言葉が。。


It's sooo hard to stay in bed all day with nothing good to eat...and boring

So I painted my nails

初音ミク色ネイル♪

Miku nails!! I think it looks that color anyways. The bottle says "The Real Teal" 

It's weird, I  have "girl-ish" things like nail polish and  some cute shoes and tights and make-up but I never wear any of it...I usually just wear sweats or the same pair of jeans or cardigan (washed mind you)

And just Thursday (when I went out and wasn't supposed) I ran into my (very cute) mentee (who's 25) who I haven't seen in a while

I was still sick and I didn't really do much with my appearance and I looked so homely. It was pretty bad.

OTL

I really should put more effort into what I look like.

ん。。本当はね、かわいいものがたくさんあるけどぜんぜんつくてない。。。

どうしてかなｗｗｗ

Btw, I bought these socks on Thursday (I went out with friends after class even though I should have just went home)

Hello Kitty!!!

木曜日に友達と遊ぶのでH&Mでお買い物しました！

キティちゃんの厚手靴下セットを買った｡◕‿◕｡)ﾉ

I bought them from H&M but I didn't realize that they were from the kids section until I got home...

They fit though! (well enough) 

And I got a 5 dollar gift card with my purchase y(￣ー￣)y

Which will probably just get me another pair of socks...

I'm rambling he he...

The weather isn't as great today as it was yesterday but I'm still going outside!! 

今日の天気が昨日のような天気だったらよっかたのに。。。

とにかく

お散歩に行こう！ヽ(´▽`)/

Ciao♥

ラブライブ！風邪に負けない！It's nice out! (´▽｀)

Hello!

ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉﾞ❀~~~ｺﾝﾊﾞﾝﾜー♪

This week was a little rough for me.

I got sick...for the first time in three years! It's been almost a week now.

OTL

久しぶりに風邪がひきました(´ω｀。)

Actually when I tweeted about it, I don't think I made it sound serious but some of my followers from Japan asked if I was okay and to take care of myself. Even if they only asked out of politeness I was still happy about it!

心配してくれたみんなさん、ありがとうございます！　今、私は大丈夫です｡◕‿◕｡)ﾉ

@ 

But on the bright side, the weather has been AMAZING  this week!

今週はいい天気！！

Yesterday we had a high of 65 degrees F（　´∀｀）

It's unseasonably warm but I think it's helping me to get over my cold! I skipped my morning classes and rested a bit today so I should be okay by tomorrow :3

Right!


 Have you ever heard of "LoveLive!" ?


とにかく、”ラブライブ”を聞いたことがありますか？

ちょっとアイドルマスターみたいです＾＾

It's like IdolMaster but better!! (I don't really like IdolMaster to tell you the truth)

 My favorite song by them is probably "Natsuiro egao de 1, 2 Jump!" I think it translates to (1,2 ) jump with a summer colored smile...

It's so cute!!(人´3｀)⌒♡

ん。。ＰＶがちょっとＡＫＢっぽいよね？ｗｗｗ

And they look like their seiyuu! My favorite member is Nishikino Maki! Her voice is the strongest in the group I think!

好きなメンバーは西木野真姫ちゃんです＾＾

It looks like it should be an anime but it's not!!!!...Maybe one day?

BTW

New layout!! What do you think? I worked pretty hard on it me being HTML illiterate and all.... 

Ciao♥
