Getting Back Into the Swing

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010 | 91 Comments

Hello~ hello!

Why yes, THAT IS a TERMINATOR enjoying a lovely plate of pasta in this Italian Tokyo cafe!

I’m writing this from my 2 day office retreat & training session. I’m still not normalized and waking up at strange hours. It’s actually 4am here. I figured I’d type this up & then hit “post” when I get home. *warning, NOT proof-read! haahaa!*

I’ve been back almost a week. But with work and basically only sleeping when at home, I haven’t had much time to get back into my “online world.” *sad, sad*

Tokyo was great~ even the uncontrollable barfing on day 3 and subsequent daily nausea and fatigue were all part of it! Being violently ill in unfamiliar places just automatically changes your perspective. But by the final days of my vacation I started feeling 100% better

OK, OK I’ll just post some things that I think of when I reflect back~ it’ll be randomness, haahaaa v



Kanipannnn!

It’s just a bread snack that encourages you to eat his legs off in certain order so to make him look like different things! From a crab to dragonfly to cicada to a cell phone




Donki sold larger pillow versions of him and I realllllly wanted him but when you buy 4 pairs of shoes you sacrifice room for cute un-necessaries lol

A store that carries everything from fish-shaped postcards to diet snacks to cosmetics and body care. Top 3’s to some even top 10’s. It’s like cosme.net in store form (oh the convenience!) Being a borderline OCD wacko this is like my holy grail of shopping.




PURCHASES

Fish shaped postcard! My friend has sent me the crab version of this!! I’m going to send this to my Dad on his birthday since he’s big on fishing

お姫様のおやつ [princess snack] diet cookies, lol. I just liked the packaging~ and kcal count! You’re supposed to eat like 5 of these a day??? I only bought 2, so… yeaaaaaaaaaa haahaa

These are supposed to be a sorta diet cookie since it’s made without using sugar and low in calories. I think you’re supposed to eat 3 of them at night? I’m not sure…

A different brand of sleeping socks. I had already bought the Qtto ones but just really wanted a backup pair for travel or something.

I was surprised to find that Body Fantasies (yes, that cheapo, drugstore brand, good god ) was “ranked” higher than Victoria’s Secret sprays. Then again even the inflated import/demand price was cheaper on Body Fantasies. Though both are at least double in original US price of course. I was excited to see the Sexy Body Fantasies being sold at Alta for like 20$ a pop because 2 years ago I sent my friend the gift set of that as part of her xmas gift! Lol. After I had seen the regular Body Fantasies in Vivi or smtg on a “BOOM” list *_*


Honey Toast
My absolutely (new) favorite dessert! A big fat loaf of english bread coated with honey and baked! Then topped with some ice cream & whip I had mine at a place called News Deli.

SOYJOY, coleslaw & corn salads, high energy jelly drinks too~
This was my daily diet for a couple of days b/c it’s the only thing I could keep down.

I’ve never eaten a soyjoy even though they’re in the US everywhere. But since I couldn’t keep much down I was trying to eat as much of these sort of things as I could. Also bought apples, peaches, and grapes but those are harder to bring “on the go” lol


Mini-towels/handkerchiefs
I bought 10! Last time I was there I didn’t think much of them. I just saw people using them to wipe the sweat off their faces. Then in a public restroom I finished washing my hands but there were no towels or hand dryers! Wtf. And my friend pulled out her mini towel & gave it to me, lol, SOLD! I went & bought a Minnie & Mickey one. Used it to wrap around my water bottles to absorb the condensation. Then I found a billion other uses. THEN I saw my friend had a Burberry one too! Takai takai!?!?! But she said they’re rarely over 10$ no matter the brand. So I went to Marui and bought YSL & Betsey Johnson ones! Then I bought another Mickey one, a Totoro one, a Nice Clamp brand one, a Snoopy one, a Kiki’s Delivery one, a Peach John one…







and my favorite…

A Dayan one!

Store love. That is all ;p


What else~~
Things are still REALLY BUSY for me right now. This work training, trying to settle back INTO work & my projects plus a Saturday all day work training session this weekend too. Then next Friday I leave again for the beach for a couple of days. So…. hum, I dunno.

I might be doing some photo-dump posts for a little bit? They’re fun & easy to do anyway!!
MORE TO COME!!!!…




Oh.. what else was I gonna say? Hmmmmmm~~ I’m just so freakin’ tired my mind is like… :F I’m just BRAIN DEAD from lack of sleep & whatnot.

I haven’t been online hardly AT ALL! And twitter sucks because I come back to find the Twitterberry app was bought out by RIM or something and so I downloaded the RIM official Twitter for Blackberry and it’s all buggy! I can’t reply or even tweet sometimes! UUUUUUUUUUGH!

Anyway. Sigh. I wish I could have just landed & gotten back into everything asap. But… things take time I guess~~~~

I actually wanted to make a new layout too… but instead I just used my hiatus one with slight changes… LOL. I’ll fix it up a bit later this week if I can. :sparkleup:
