Getting Back Into the Swing
Tuesday September 14, 2010
Hello~ hello!
I’m writing this from my 2 day office retreat & training session. I’m still not normalized :;_;: and waking up at strange hours. :down: It’s actually 4am here. :moon: I figured I’d type this up & then hit “post” when I get home. OoO *warning, NOT proof-read! haahaa!*
I’ve been back almost a week. :eep: 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! OoO Being violently ill in unfamiliar places just automatically changes your perspective. :;_;: But by the final days of my vacation I started feeling 100% better :D
OK, OK :star: I’ll just post some things that I think of when I reflect back~ it’ll be randomness, haahaaa XDv
Kanipannnn!
[official site]
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 XD
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 :?:
ranKing ranQueen
[official site]
A store that carries everything from fish-shaped postcards to diet snacks to cosmetics and body care. :berry: Top 3’s to some even top 10’s. :star2: It’s like cosme.net in store form :twinkle: (oh the convenience!) Being a borderline OCD wacko :crap: this is like my holy grail of shopping. :crownkisses::lol:
PURCHASES
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… :cfaha2:
I was surprised to find that Body Fantasies (yes, that cheapo, drugstore brand, good god :smallcry: ) was “ranked” higher than Victoria’s Secret sprays. Then again even the inflated import/demand price was cheaper on Body Fantasies. :skull: Though both are at least double in original US price of course. :gigglewakuface: 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. :grin: After I had seen the regular Body Fantasies in Vivi or smtg on a “BOOM” list *_* XD
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 :D I had mine at a place called News Deli.
BalanceUp クリーム玄米ブラン
[official site]
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. :facepalmcry: Also bought apples, peaches, and grapes but those are harder to bring “on the go” lol
Mini-towels/handkerchiefs
I bought 10! :rainbowtwinkle: 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. :supercry: Then in a public restroom I finished washing my hands but there were no towels or hand dryers! :ashock: Wtf. And my friend pulled out her mini towel & gave it to me, lol, SOLD! :iiface: :mkpoo: I went & bought a Minnie & Mickey one. Used it to wrap around my water bottles to absorb the condensation. :D Then I found a billion other uses. :kissyheart: THEN I saw my friend had a Burberry one too! Takai takai!?!?! But she said they’re rarely over 10$ no matter the brand. :upheart: 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!
WEGO & Spinns
[Official Site]
[Official Site]
Store love. :twinklepink: That is all ;p
What else~~
Things are still REALLY BUSY for me right now. :ng: This work training, trying to settle back INTO work & my projects plus a Saturday all day work training session this weekend too. :smallcry: Then next Friday I leave again for the beach for a couple of days. :blushingcute: :orooro: So…. hum, I dunno.
I might be doing some photo-dump posts for a little bit? :dizzy: They’re fun & easy to do anyway!! :laughingheart:
MORE TO COME!!!!…
Oh.. what else was I gonna say? Hmmmmmm~~ :stressball: I’m just so freakin’ tired my mind is like… :F I’m just BRAIN DEAD from lack of sleep & whatnot. :skull:
I haven’t been online hardly AT ALL! :facepalmcry: 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! >O 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~~~~ :cfaha2: :okicon:
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:

body fantasies ! ..I actually lovelovelove that tacky little line. I’ve bounced around with VS & other ‘nicer’[more expensive] body sprays & I end up wandering back to the drug store .__.
feel better~ -
You seemed to have a good time in Japan!! I loved looking at all the pictures.
I’ve got a few questions, Where was the YSL one sold and how much was it?
Out of curiosity, where do you keep the wet towel after you wipe ure hands? wouldn’t it make ure bag damp if you just put it straight into your bag? -
Haha, kanipan is so creepy.. and cute. O_O
A shop that has things ranked like that is an such an awesome idea D: You know how to shop at all the good places
I really love that Betsey Johnson hand towel and the mickey one is sooo cute =) The only hand towels I have are of dorky comedians ^^;;
Looking forward to all future posts! YES
-
Welcome back!!
Your trip must’ve been amazing ^-^ I LOL @ your sudden handkerchief’s obsession. I guess it is true o.0. My bf’s mom told me there really isn’t paper towel in Japan and everyone carry a handkerchief. I wanna go to Japan to shop so much =.=
-
so many awesome gets!!!! gaaah! and i love love love bread..and that crab bread is adorable..
did it taste like crab?
glad your back XD

you know meron pan? OISHI!

i want the YSL one!!!
looks like great fun XD
yeah japanese people are very conservative on paper usage, same inchina too, so i think this is pretty useful to have around XD
