Hello, everybody!


Ah, I am back home and I've pretty much settled in again. I should still update my journal on the 13th and 14th about my stay, but I really wanted to share the pics I bought so much, I ended up scanning, packing them up and uploading them first. ^^

So, here's the outcome of my efforts. ^^ Those who know me, know that I like my files neat and clean and organized, so even though it's not too many pics, I have them categorized. Fell free to take whatever you like. <3



Picture goodness under here... )

Hello, everybody! :D

Today was major shopping day. I swept through several fanshops, grabbing whatever I could get. No, not really. ^^ Actually, I was pretty reasonable, I think. Just a few pics for myself, two small posters... actually, that's it. I didn't even buy a new KinKi poster, because quite honestly I don't know where I should put it. I have two KinKi posters up already, one of Koichi and I bought the one at SHOCK already. I got two Yasu posters, though. <3 I was particularly happy to find stuff with him. ^^ Bought a few pics too. :D As it is, I spent too much money already and I haven't even been to Animate yet, which is the plan for tomorrow.

Nothing too spectacular happened today. Actually, I was totally lucky, the fan shops were clsoe to empty today, so I could check through all the pics, taking my time to pick some. I could spend several days checking through all the stuff. ^^" There is so much to see and find. ^^

Johnny's shop was the one I was quickest in getting through. I didn't even have to wait and just got right in and the good thing is they're organised and they sell only recent stuff, so the over-load isn't that big. I got a few pics of KinKi shooting their new PV. Aw, they both look so handsome. *__* Some pics of SHOCK rehearsals in NY and then some more for Omiyage. ^^ I think I'll go back, though and get myself just a few more pics of Koichi's birthday. Ah, maybe. It's tempting, because it's not far away, but I really know that I shouldn't.

I had some Takko balls at Harajuku station. I had left in the morning without breakfast. I hadn't felt hungry and I jsut kept going, moving through Takeshita Dori. So I was really hungry. I still just ordered 4 pieces, which turned out to be a good thing. ^^

I had seen that Okonomiyaki add right in front of my hotel that morning. So as I went back I stopped there for actual dinner. That was really something. ^^ I baked my very first own Okonomiyaki in a restaurant today. :D I didn't evne know what to order. The menu was solely Japanese and the only thing I could read was something that I thought said "Winner Pepper", which I thought didn't say much about the dish, but at least I could order it. So I picked that and something that looked like some kind of fruit wrapped in ham. I really wanted to have fruit.

So, then, the Okonomiyaki was okay. It turned out that I hadn't pronounced it well and the menu actually said "Wiener pepper", so I had sausage in my Okonomiyaki, which might sound weirder than it actually is. ^^ It was really quite simple. You just put some oil on the teppan and after mixing everything up, you just put it on and tehn you wait. Turn it around about 3 minutes later, you can already put sauce and mayonaise on and bonitos, if you like them. I love them, they look so pretty. ^^ About 2 minutes after turning around you can eat it. It was really delicious. I was also really surprised that despite my obvious problems with reading the menu the staff seemed to trust me to do thingy by myself. That was actually really nice. So, my first ever self-made Okonomiyaki on teppan. The other dish, btw, turned out to be mochi wrapped in ham. Mind you, that's nice too. I still SO BADLY wanted fruit. And there I remembered that this morning as I went to the post office for cash, I passed by a bigger store, so I checked back there and found what I was looking for and actually for the first time today I didn't care about money. Wouldn't have helped. I bought a cup of starberries that cost as much as my entire dinner. And some orange and grapefruit pieces and an apple. So, tonight I'm having my own round of "Strawberry Time". XDDD They're really good too. ^^ I'm so happy I got all of that. ^^

So, tomorrow it's Animate and I'll have a look around the area. So, there will be pics. I can't take pics in stores. Although I'd love to sometimes. Like, those fan shops. They are so packed with stuff, even the ceiling is covered with posters that you can buy.

I'm having MTV on right now. EXILE seem to be really popular right now. Well, they're good and I'm a sucker for dancers. ^^

Hi, everybody! ^^


So, where do I start today? First, I got up at a decent hour and made my check-out alright. Then I got myself some supplies for the train at Lawson next door. I Hadn't made early reservations for a train to Tokyo. I had figured that they'll move regularly. And about 20 minutes later I was already on my way. ^^ The only thing that was just a little bit bothersome, the guy at the counter had explained to me that I needed to change trains in Osaka. Yappari, Osaka... @_@ I was relieved to find that this time I had about 20 minutes to find my way around to the right train. That's really okay. ^^


KinKi and Yasu on the same train :D )

Hi, minna!

Today wasn't very interesting, really. Well, the weather helped me out with my decision on what I want to do. It was basically raining, so i stayed in. ^^" I still had a nice day, because I found Fuji TV and simply watched the current drama series. Right now, "Hungry" is on. Out of what I've seen today I like this one best and I want to continue watching it at home. I hope it gets subbed. The main actors are pretty cute. Ah, and how could I forget, there's a SMAP guy in it, that should solve the issue. XDDDD

Well, no pics, or anything interesting today. I'll get my stuff prepared for tomorrow soon. I want to get a rather early train back to Tokyo, so I can still visit Shibuya in the afternoon/evening. Shopping. ^^

I'll write a proper report again tomorrow. and since B.A. is online right now I'll ratehr go and chat a bit. <3

See you guys in Tokyo. ^_^v

Hi, everybody!

Today I didn't really feel like going out. but since I've been lazing a bit lately, I decided that I had to get up and see a thing or two. The weather wasn't really appealing either, although not exactly bad. Even so I decided to make it "indoor activities" mainly.


The joys of spare time )

Hi, minna-san! ^^


I just came back from dinner and finished taking a good shower. Today wasn't really all that exciting. Well, I tried to get some more money from an ATM and in the end, I got an additional 3000 yen, which is not the world, but altogether I had 7000, which isn't actually all that bad. Even so, I decided I couldn't take any trains, or busses that will cost money - but for the one to take me to the theatre in the evening. So I spent the day pretty much walking around the area of the station, which has a nice park, really (unexpectedly, so sadly there aren't any pics ^^" ), having lunch, which I bought at Lawson (Visa!) and basically starting at around 1 am I started to feel that inner countdown, like "it's just 5 more hours...". XD

 


Fangirling must go on! )

Hello, everybody!


Here's my rather short update of the day. I took the luxury of sleeping long, since my check-out time was only at 11 am. I went straight to the station - no wait, that's not right. First I went to the post office and tried to withdraw some more money. I then moved on to Kyoto station with 5000 yen in my wallet. Not the world, but hey. Once there 1000 yen were invested into a bento box. I had to eat, after all.

There are no direct trains from Kyoto to Fukuoka, so I had to change trains at Osaka. Osaka... oh dear. @_@ Lovely as the city can be, chaning trains there isn't the easiest thing to manage. I checked my tickets. I had six minutes to complete the task and find the platform the train for Fukuoka left. Once in Osaka, I stormed right off, but unfortunately my luggage proved to be a big handicap, since I was dependent on elevators and those need forever to bring you from one floor the next. Then I found a train that left at the according hour, so I went for that, but then I saw that it wasn't the right one, so I had to get back. Waiting for the elevator. -_- And then, the elevator said "to platforms 20, 21, 22". Once I got out, platform 20 was nowhere to be seen. I would have had to change elevators on a mid-floor. No need to say that I did not get that train. -_-#

Back to the main hall --> elevator. There I went to the counter for a new ticket. Got one for a train leaving about 15 minutes later. Platform 20. At least I already knew where that was now. Getting back --> elevator. I really made it in time. I got into the train immediately, looking for my car and seat a bit later. At least I was in. ^^

And oh dear, I was like the main attraction on that train. ^^" At least in my car. At a certain station the train got really full and the seat beside my own was supposed to be occupied by someone. Fantastic. I can do almost everything with my suitcase. However, I cannot put it on the top shelf - it's just too heavy. I had to get it out of the way, though. So I tried anyway, but failed miserably. After a while a guy sitting behind me took mercy on me and offered his help. Nothing that's to be taken for granted. Well, once again, I got lucky like that. What really entertained everybody, though, was the fact that he too had quite some trouble with the suitcase. Finally, together we managed to put it away. It was really embarrassing. But I'm glad I keep meeting kind people. ^^

Once everything was set, I got back into my seat. I had already finsihed my bento box and went for some music. The A/C wasn't exactly uncomfortable, but it didn't feel good in my nose, so I decided to put on a mask. I had bought some the other day, after all, and since I had them, why not use them. some time later Yasu's voice had actually lured me to sleep. Is it strange to say that? Somehow he has such a calming voice to me. ^^ Even with the more up-beat songs in between. Well, time went by very quickly. At the last station before we arrived at Fukuoka that guy and his friend helped me getting my suitcase back down. I'll forever be thankful. <3

Hakata station turned out to be much bigger than I had expected. I got lucky, though. I could see my hotel through one of the windows and went looking for a near-by exit and just a minute later I was at the counter, checking in. The room is rather small and the A/C just a bit loud, but it's okay. ^^ I have a lawson right downstairs that accepts my Visa, so I can buy food and drinks without using up my money. That's very relieving.

Tomorrow I won't be doing much, seeing how I'm broke. Well, not really broke, I just can't get to my money. ^^" Stupid security limit. >_< Well, I have 4000 yen left. That should get me at least a poster from the Musical. ^^ I'm already really looking forward to the Musical tomorrow. :DDDDDDDDD  I'll give a detailed report. ^^

For now, this is it. Have a good time everybody.

And B.A.-chan: HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \(^o^)/  *throws confetti* Celebrate decently! :D

Hi, everybody! ^_^


So, how about this day? I did what I really wanted to do, although I took it a bit slower today, wanting to give my foot a short break. As I got up, I left right away for Kyoto station. I didn't really feel like breakfast, so I decided to leave that for later. I found it quite complicated that I had to go to Kyoto station first, because today was bus day, actually. Everywhere I wanted to go, I needed to get there by bus.


A day full of stairs )
yoru_no_hikari: (Default)

Hi, minna-san!!!!! >^_^<

Today was not really very eventful in special things that happened. That's okay, though. If every day were as exhausting as yesterday, I think I'd give up after jsut a few days. ^^" Mah, but it was really a very beautiful day today too. :D

I got up quite a bit later than yesterday. Well, I hadn't planned a tour outside of town and I had actually planned to take it slow and just visit a temple, or two. And then, here's what actually happened. ^^


One Big Temple )

Hello, everybody! ^^


Here's today's report. Today I really did a lot. :D Well, my night was relatively short. It seems that those last 2 hours I had were yet too much. My night was over at around 3 am. ^^" At about 7 am I got up and prepared to leave for Nara. The good news, the weather was good. The bad news, the post office would only open at 9 am - and I really needed some cash. ^^"


The day of good decisions )
yoru_no_hikari: (Default)

Hi, everybody!


Today I didn't really go anywhere - or rahter, I REALLY didn't go anywhere. I hadn't even realised how tired I had been. I slept an entire 14 hours, no kidding. I still felt tired then, but I forced myself to get up, so I'll be able to sleep tonight. As it was, I figured it was too late to really do something significant, seeing how most sight seeing spots already close at 4 pm. So I took my time "waking up", got my things arranged in my room and only got out for some basic shopping and to find the nearest metro station.

I bought some Curry Udon. <3 I just had them for dinner. ^^ Aaaaaand I bought strawberry short cake mochi! *__* Oishii! ^_^ I found the station alright too, it's not that far away. There's also a pharmacy near the hotel and I bought some bandages. My foot felt surprisingly comfortable when I got up. I think it was a very good idea to let it rest today. Now I'm feeling much more comfortable to use that foot on my trip tomorrow. It's Nara time. \(^o^)/ I'm very much looking forward to that and if I interpreted the weather announcement correctly, it's gonna be sunny with some coulds tomorrow, so the weather will be perfect. :D

It's almost impossible, but I'm really feeling tired again already. ^^" So, I'll go to bed soon and get up early tomorrow. I still need to find a post office, or a "Seven Eleven" bank to get some fresh money. Today, same as last year, everything was still closed. I walked around the underground mall nearby a bit and had a look around. Oh, I could shop here forever. I also found the chop stick store again, so I'll buy a new pair of chop sticks tomorrow. ^^

I just finished watching a show that had Daigo as a guest tonight. It was pretty good fun, they presented typical New Year's food from all over the world. ^^ Quite interesting, really.

Now I'll be off to bed. Want to get up early tomorrow and once I have fixed my foot up, I'll get going as early as possible. Loads to see in Nara. I'd like to visit Todaiji again as well, the area is really beautiful.

Good night, everybody!!!!! :D

Hi, everybody! ^^

Here I am now posting from Kyoto. I had a rather distressful day. First I had to check out by 10 am. I managed that and decided I had to go and buy that electricity adapter. So I asked at the counter and as expected was advised to get to Shinjuku and try my luck. And there's where the story starts...


Moving in and from Tokyo )

yoru_no_hikari: (Default)

Minna-san, Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu! \(^o^)/

Yesterday I was a bit distressed, trying to get to the airport in time. B.A. will remember that we had some trouble last time around. ^^ Btw, Ran says hi. But I'm getting ahead of myself. ^^" I made it to the airport eventually and for quite some time it looked like I'll be the only local person on that flight. Later two other people joined in too. Still, I was already surrounded by Japanese people and language. :)

Hello, everybody!



It's been a long time since I wrote something unrelated to fiction. As it is, I guess it's time to start the travelling blog again. :)  When I organised my first trip to Japan, I thought it would be the kind of "once in your life-time" thing. I had planned, of course, to travel there again, but I never would have thought that I could afford to get back there again so soon.


Same as last year, I want to visit a show. This time around it's gonna be Endless SHOCK. Thanks to my dear [livejournal.com profile] maharan1 who once again was so sweet to help me with ticket application [ *hugs* ] I will get to see the show in the Hakataza in Fukuoka. And... just in case she is willing to help me with the application too, I've scheduled my flight so I can visit KinKi Kids New Year's concert as well. ^^ Last year was already incredible and absolutely special. I always felt, though, that it should not be just that one time. And so, I am currently planning my new trip to Japan. :D



See all the details (that I have already ^^ ) )

Hi, minna!



Wow, my first RL entry in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time. ^^ Well, for those you are interested and willing to be happy with me, I thought I'd share a few lines.

I have got a job!!!!!!!    \^o^/

Today I participated in a 4 hours training in a call center agency and at the end of the day I was told that I can start working on the 4th of April. I cannot even say how happy I am. :DDDD  I have finally got a new job! And a good one at that. YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cheers* *jumps*

Yes, today I'm a happy little fangirl. Well, I'll have to reduce my fangirling just a bit, but hey, I'll have a good job and some very much needed money coming in. So, I'm really really happy.

Okay, that's it for now. I wonder whether I should update today? ^^

Love and hugs to everybody!!!!!!!! <3

Hello, everybody!


Somehow I kind of felt... well, motivated to write a proper introduction post. I often get motivated watching other people's work. ^_~ And since [livejournal.com profile] lilly0 and [livejournal.com profile] yukitsubute have made such a huge effort, I'll try my best with this one too.



 

Okay, so here's a (probably not so) little something about myself )

yoru_no_hikari: (Default)









Hi again!

Just a small collection of random icons I created.

Come, get some )
