Stars Hide Your Fires

Such a nice, beautiful, breezy day today! FINALLY. The humidity is almost gone and it's been cooling down :) Almost feels like California. Anyways, had a major food party at my apartment last night (AMAZING SPANISH FOOD) and everyone ate and drank heartily. I got a good night's rest after getting almost no sleep the night before. And thennn...I decided to do some shrine viewing :) So I walked over to Kushida Shrine. I love Japanese temples and shrines. You can just calm down and think. Afterwards, went to Daimyo to finally buy this awesome cardigan I've been wanting (not pictured, tehe WHOOPS). A good day ♡ But does anyone else think the vending machines everywhere at the shrine...I mean, kinda weird/strange/out of place?

It's Not How You Fall, It's How You Get Back Up

All around the place. All over the place. Fixed-gear bicycles everywhere.

CRAZY Good Beatles Remix

Pause that Deezer music box I have on the right side of my page and PLAY THIS. The Beatles are timeless. My gosh... :)

한국!韓国!KOREA!

Yeah, lots of exclamation points in the title, but unfortunately it wasn't that exciting. I was basically on Korean soil for a total of 20 hours. Pusan (a Korean port town), to be specific :) I needed to go so I could get another landing permit to stay in Japan for more than 3 months. (Actually had NO trouble getting back in...which was nice.) Anyways, took a 3-hour hydrofoil ferry ride over the Sea of Japan and ended up in Pusan! Ate lots of Korean food, roamed a bit, realized that stuff is WAY cheaper in Korea, etc. But the main part is- I MADE IT BACK INTO JAPAN. NO TROUBLES. Brought allll my  documentation, ALLLLL right!! Just keepin' things in order 24/7. Whattup.

Sicky Sick Round 2

Ah to be sick in a foreign country. Away from my doctor mom. And with no international insurance. But, enough complaining...
JK more complaining. If only this COUGH would let me SLEEP A LITTLE, I wouldn't mind it too much. We all get sick, but if only I could SLEEP :(
Only left my apartment for a little on Friday to get some documents from school and to help out with the Mentai Wide (tv show) staff that was filming some things. I haven't been to school/work since WEDNESDAY...I really need to get cured. ANY IDEAS/ADVICE, ANYONE?
So I've just been reading and catching up on Dexter Season 3 online. Wanted to watch some T-BLOOOD, but there's a 2 WEEK gap before the season finale! Do you know how frantically I was searching online on Monday (after it airs in the US, time difference) for the season finale?! Then awkwardly realized I had another week? I guess it means I can watch it in Korea, though :)

Heading to Pusan, Korea on Monday and I'll be back on Tuesday. Wish me luck ♥

And See The World Hanging Upside Down



Cause I need freedom now,
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be.

Okonomiyaki Party

Can't sleep...why? Anyways, last week, Kuni had a bunch of his friends over to make and feast on the deliciousness that is okonomi-yaki (seriously, I love that stuff). We also had hiroshima-yaki (which is actually the most oishii out of all okonomi-yaki) and since SHITAMA-SAN was making it...we decided to call it shitama-yaki instead. Tahahaha :):) Sort of a strange, really not anything like real hiroshima-yaki version, hahaha. Oh god, I thought that was the funniest thing at the time...
