Weekend Chatter
Sunday, December 19th, 2010 | 70 Comments 
Oiy~ I hadn’t been feeling like myself 
this past week/end. 
With mom’s upcoming surgery & other pressures I just sorta buckled under these past few days. 
But I’m starting to feel like my old self :good: again already. I feel like such a jackass even being the tiniest sad around Christmas. 
I have plenty to be happy 
about but sometimes it’s hard to see the forest through the trees.
I spent much of yesterday helping Mike get through lvl 8 of Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels (aka the REAL Mario Bros 2!) We bought the 25 year anniversary edition of Super Mario All Stars. 
I had this on my SNES and played through them all over & over EXCEPT the lost levels. Fuck that game it’s hard! Mario Bros 2 is my all time favorite even though it’s not the real Mario 2 (siiigh Japan & US, Y U Nintendo Relationship So Complicated?) XP
“Due to the game’s high difficulty and similarity to its predecessor, Nintendo of America chose not to release it in the United States”
Anyway, so I’ve put Donkey Kong Country Returns on the back-burner for now. Been playing 25th Anniversary Mario instead all week~
Then we went out and did some shopping, got some BBQ for lunch and made a run to the Japanese Market which was fairly busy with New Year’s shoppers! So much osechi in stock dear lord. And they had the larger, plastic kagami mochi which I kinda always wanted (*insert iconic Japanese culture want*) so I got it~ It’ll be a thrill to phone my friend a pic of me with it hahahaha~~! 
Also got some hojicha tea bags. Ito En is the only bagged tea brand I like for green tea. 
Though it doesn’t taste exact to loose leaf it has it’s own flavor and isn’t weak dust tea! It costs a little more than cheaper brands but it’s extremely worth it. 
Then I bought some more zero calorie jelly drinks. *sigh* sigh sigh~~ I sigh because I also bought the insanely best-tasting-thing-ever Ginza steam cakes too, haahaa! They’re so high in calories but taste delicious and make me nostalgic since I ate a ton of these while on my trip this summer~ :driftingheart:
OK so I went out for an early breakfast today. These are sweet potato and cranberry pancakes! It came with fresh strawberries, a spice yogurt/cream whip topping, and pan-sheared bananas.
The back of the sweater is W♥C’s Kumatan
LOL my bangs are so long it covers up lashes~ why do I even bother, haahaa~ 
I’m tempting to trim them myself BUT I am going in for a trim in late January so I’m trying to wait until then… :F I’m gonna get my hair cut about 2 inches shorter. Like this photo below!!!! :haha:
I read that the trim will freshen up the perm a bit too, cutting off dead ends and what not, so that would be a nice bonus in a month’s time. I think I’m going to ask to get my bangs cut a bit shorter this time too. :good: Like, room to grow out! So I’m not going back for a trim every 6 weeks you know. 
I don’t have the patience for that. But… BUT I do like this length which requires more than a cut every 6 months *failwhales*
I knew there was SOME bonus to growing one’s hair out! Haahaa~ 
Anywho~ We went out to a few malls because even though our Christmas shopping is done we obviously have a death wish! It’s quite a spectacle though. Watching last minute shoppers. I think I was doing “people watching” more than personal shopping. Though I did get a few things New tank tops to replace all my old worn out ones. Also a simple black casual dress, a few blouses, and a pair of jeggings (dear god.) Yeah, my current pair are more like jean tights. These are thicker and sorta backups when my skinny jeans are dirty 
. Also got some new room wear in the form of a mokomoko cloud onepiece. 
Thank you everyone for sending me your Christmas cards! I wanted to show you guys how I display them .
This is similar to how my Mom used to display our family Christmas cards. Only my childhood house had large entrance ways with molding she’s tack them around so it would be like walking through an entrance of Christmas Cards! Well, I don’t have that but this is a wall in my living room where we set up our stockings!

i like your short hair and the haircut that you’re going to get! short hair is so much easier to manage and style .. but that just might be my laziness talking hahaha
i have the urge to eat breakfast foods now ..
hahahahah FIRST I WIN /lame/
#livingthedreambro
YOU WIN THE INTERNET
WOW I love that shorter version of the bob you’re going for … very nice!
I’m getting my hair lopped off tomorrow (but only cos its SUPER thick - way too much for this humid summer we’re having~)
Ahhh I’m having so much brainpain finding a nice style of jeggings. I just gave up LOL.
Happy Holidays - I hope all goes well for your Mom!
Hope the hair chop went splendidly for you!
you’re sooo adorableeeeeeee X3
do you still style your hair or does the perm do it for you? it sounds so low maintenance i love it!
i was telling phil last night that i wanna get a bob but he was like nooo thats just lazyyy *booooo*
please wait for my card~~~ it’ll get there eventually~~ ^^
I still style it usually with tongs or like the 1st pic a small barrel curler. The perm makes the styling hold much longer (than my hair used to) and gives my hair body, that’s it. I LITERALLY used to tease my hair EVERY. DAY. Now I don’t have to thank god
You’re so adorable
! I wish I could be as photogenic as you :X
Where did you get breakfast? It looks really yummy & I’d like to try it out since I never know of any good breakfast places. Also, where did you get your red heart hangers? They’re super cute
!
“We went out to a few malls” –> Death wish indeed. I hate going to the mall during the holidays because of the mad traffic, parking troubles, and crowds. But I work there so gotta deal :T
BTW, I forgot to tell you but I got your card in the mail yesterday. Thanks so much for exchanging cards with me :3! Happy holidays!
I got breakfast at a place called Silver Diner. They’re all overs
YAAY IT ARRIVED!!
I love your layout right now!
It’s so festive! I love your photos! You are super photogenic! 
I wish I could pull off a hairstyle like that. I also wish I could pull off a full faux fur coat like that!
Thank you! I love decorating EVERYTHING for Christmas
My house, my layout, myself (holiday jewelry what what!) 
Fabulous!! My card arrived safely!
I totally agree!! I love the short, curly, just-a-little messy bob! Your perm makes it fabulous I bet! It looks so light and fluffy.
Hahaha! I was one of those people–just finished all my Christmas shopping yesterday!! But I give myself some wiggle room since from Thanksgiving to finals school is always hell. ‘ x ‘;;
GAAAAAMES~ I am feeling the classic gaming vibe right now, totally!
Yeah hard to fit ALL that in at the same time! You weren’t alone, everyone I talk to was still xmas shopping last weekend
WHOO WHOO - last shopping spree before the big spending freeze?
Good luck Jen!
OOOHHHH, CHRISTMASSY! We are still without a Christmas tree this year.
My goodness, we suck.
D;
Yup exactly. Unless I get out before the New Year but they’re calling for lots of snow so it’s doubtful…
ah, your style is so awesome! i want your animal print jacketttttttt :B
Thank you lovely
hahahhh look at my card being funky!
;;;
my first mario game was on the original gameboy and all I could clear was ONE - ONE. even to this day I can only finish 1-1 (ﾉд-｡) I know it like the back of my hand though!
and I also remember playing it on… the famicon? the red one. man that was NOT FUN (╬ ಠ益ಠ) I suck at platformers so bad idek ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡
>: I used to drink those jelly drinks for breakfast, they were so easy and filling but they don’t sell it here BOOHOOOOO.
lol what a whiny comment. I SOZ JEN (ﾉд-｡)
oh and I need to trim my bangs too.
I’m going to be cheap and try do it myself…
… haven’t done it before… eeek
You look so cute! I love your new hair and your shirt on the first picture
I love the little bit shorter hair cut!
Also that blogger is so cute and crazy, now reading her blog is rather addicting!
Mario Bros took sooo many hours of my childhood, but I still love it! 8DDDDDD
your outfit so cool!) I love your shoes on your first photo !!
Your outfit is so nice ^^ I love that leopard jacket! Also very nice gets!
so I think that your idea is right to cut it a bit shorter next time.. although I like this long bangs a lot 
And that pancacke omggg.. I want some *drool*
about your hair.. hmm maybe if you wait longer it will totally grow over your eyes
(great new layout btw very christmassy ^^)
Your outfits are so cute and those pancakes-YUM!
I can’t help but oogle at your hair. I am growing out my pixie and I would love to go for such a cut, unfortunately I don’t think it would suit my face.
I love the purple sweater..! I really want to get some W♥C stuff, but I haven’t even been to a shop yet ;__; Just WEGO shops…
Ah, I heard it snowed in D.C. recently! My mom wasn’t thrilled, but I wish we had snow here! It doesn’t feel like Christmas without a few flurries..
Oh, the Christmas theme is super cute! Yay for Christmas!♥
Ah well there’s 3 days of snowing coming *feels poorly for your Mom
at least you guys got some Christmas snow. here, its snowing every where except for Osaka, Tokyo and Takamatsu ;____; Even Nagoya got snow..!! lol So weird..
Aw what a cute setup of the Christmas cards!
Sometimes I want to cut my hair really short but I always end up regretting it. My face shape isn’t quite right for hair shorter than my shoulders (unless it’s a pixi cut!).
Nice Market treats! I’m starting to feel “the itch” again to go up and visit. I wonder if traffic would be horrific or not, LOL.
That sucks that you have been kind of down this Christmas. I would probably be feeling the same way. My Christmas this year is probably just going to feel like another day, the only good thing about it is I will not be working haha!
Ah Doky Kong and Mario… brings back so many memories when I use to actually play games on the old Nintendo 64 LOL!!!!
Such awesome stuff you got and you a very pretty btw xD
That is a good idea with the Christmas cards. I should do something like that with the ones I have been getting
he xD
I hope your mother’s surgery goes well! And I love your outfit posts, they’re so cutee :]
i love all the photos of yourself, you look so cute! hair and makeup looks wonderful
AND OH DEAR GAMES!! i went to a video game fair here in sweden and i tried the new super mario all stars game and also donkey kong country returns… love them both. ofc i played the original mario all stars too but still *u* i don’t own a nintendo wii but i really have to get one now that these games are out. i wanna get super mario galaxy 2 as well!
haha oh girl you know I love you but only masochists play Mario 2 - *has spent many hours screaming at the TV because she didn’t bring the turnip in the magic-potion door* LOL
But I LOVE the music for that one! Now I’m going to hum it all day *weee
Lost Levels is so fun - love blue Yoshi!!
I hope your mother’s surgery goes well!
You look really cute! I love all of your outfits!!
You are my real inspiration,
look like a stylish japanese gyaru model haha
it’s been a long time since i’ve been to your blog. ur still fashionable as ever.. I love the W*C sweater but it’s probably expensive so i can never afford it..
i love the fur jacket too ^___^… i love everything in this post.. lol i was checking ur other blog posts too and i love almost everything .. hahah .
awwww i’m glad you’re not down in the dumps anymore! especially when Christmas is in FIVE DAYS YAYYY! zomg you like the ginza steam cakes too? I LOVE THEM! LOL i used to eat them everyday for breakfast….so bad…but so good :d
ahh, i wish i could send you a Christmas card! i’ll just have to make you an e-card then~
Awe, yes! ecard! Or just a lovely blog comment it’s OK I love those too
Uwah~~ =O I absolutely love your leopard print fur jacket! It keeps on showing up in Popteen etc - but I just can’t seem to find one that suits me here! (Plus Toronto is too impossibly cold for me to wear anything other than my Canada-Goose Jacket… -____-;;
*sigh*
You remark about the calories just reminded me of how i’ve been slacking off counting calories for, oh about 5 months…! *face palm* T^T;; I must try harder! Must watch those holiday-pounds!! =( Though the temptations are always so much stronger than my half-assed attempts at having will-power… -o-;;
I don’t wear jeans often - but when I do it’s usually jeggings, they’re usually cheaper - and I’m sooo lazy with buttons..! (I know, that’s pretty lazy… -.-;;
I wish I could send you a Christmas card too~ lol I love recieving/sending cards! =D
~
Ack staying warm is higher priority to fashion of course, but yea, I dress like a fashion victim for the train every day because I must wait outside for a long time so I’m extra extra bundled = not cute
ahhhh, looking at your posts and blog is giving me a warm christmas feeling ^__^!!! love the new layout =D hihi ..
lol, i hope that there will be snow at your place during christmas ^o^!!
x.
hey what a cute blog!
What Jpn market do you go to in your area? I just moved to DC and don’t know where to get all my cute stuff and food!
It’s a VERY SMALL market in Rockville off the pike called Maruichi. Let me know if you’d like the address!
Aw your wall of cards is so cute. I can’t believe I’ve got ill at this time of year cos it really does ruin all my plans cos I havent got the energy to do anything! This is the first year I haven’t done Christmas cards for everyone :(
I adore that sweater by the way! Adorable!!!! And YES cut your hair that short. I think short bobs like that are just so cute. My hair is too curly now but when I was younger that’s how I used to have my hair
You’re so cute with short hair!It will be even more cute shorter!! The model at pic is lovely >.
the blouse beside the black dress is SO simple and nice!! where’d u get it from?
random note:
this may sound super weird… but i’m getting hungry from looking at your blog background
it reminds me of the shiroi koi bito chocolate wrappers. kekeke
I must know where you got those hangers! *dies* You look so adorable with that cut!
(Gawd, I know. I’m totally dreaming when it comes to that phone =\ )
I didn’t even know they released those extra levels of the original game. That must have been fun, but as you said frustrating since it seems hard.
You look so cute in those photos. Love the hair. :-)
Ahh, I love your lash collection. Soon I will start my own collection. Haha. :3
I see Jayne’s card! Hehe, I got one too. Yay!
That’s so cute, i love all ur pixx. ^^ kawaii
Ooooo, super jealous of your short hair! You just look so cute! Definitely want your hair cut maybe in a year or so. I had a similar haircut to yours two years and everyone thought I was 15 years old @_@ haha fail
D. Hoping I can pull off a bob soon, been trying to grow my bangs out! Your purchases pictures are just love and hangers with hearts? Ooooo, need! Haha.
Christmas cards are super great to get and receive!
Those pancakes and bananas look delicious!!!! Those are cute cards and they decorate a bare wall nicely! I’ve yet to hang my stocking up, gotta do so before santa (dad) comes down the chimney =) That models hair cut looks super cute, you’re going to look like a pixie afterwards! =)
hello! you’re pretty! love your pics.
Happy Holidays!
omgggggg you’re going to cut your hair that shortt! so cuute omg! i actually wanted my hair to be like that previously but i was never able to get it styled the way i wanted :( :(
aawww, everyone goes through alot of stress throughout the year but don’t let it bring you down! it’s christmas afterall so you should bring in the festive cheer as much as you can! does it snow where you live? sigh i wish i could experience a white christmas.. it feels odd to experience christmas when its summer hahaha
It sure does & now it might snow ON Christmas day!
hi! i love your blog! can you show photos of your wardrobe?(:
please reply!
Awe, Jenny~ I think it’s easy to feel the pressures around this time of year & you have every right to feel the way you do *hugs* I hope things start to look up soon ♥
& it’s so funny that you totally look like a Western (& prettier, haha!) version of that girl with your same haircut!
On a lighter note though, I love all your new gets! I hate the word ‘jeggings’ but they really are the best things ever made, haha
I HATE THE WORD TOO OMFG! Haahaa it just sounds vulgar & wrong IDK.
I really hope your mom is alright, she has definitely been on my heart recently and Ive been sending positive vibes your way all this time~~~~~gooood vibrationsssssss…
you look super cute (well duh) really like your eyemake, I dont know why I dont do it more, I just feel like a muppet..:/ but you seem to just get it right all the time.
and I’m stealing your outfit today, or atleast my version of it. KTHX
Thank you for that. She still insists on waiting until after New Year’s to get the surgery even though I tried to convince her otherwise ;_;
I actually ended up watching the first TRON and… to be honest, I like the plot better!!! The graphics were kind of LOL at first but I got used to it after a few minutes
ooh I just saw the special anniversary edition of super mario at the place I work… the last one! It looks different
yours looks cuter 
the North American version has the oldshool mario, the pixelated one? not as cute 
I luv your lashes! So beautiful, I want the same!!
Kisses!
Youre sure a lot stronger about it than most people! and heck, youre allowed to have those times when you need to let your emotions loose
I need to play my wii fit more and get into a better habit with it, if I worked better times it would help D:
Youre high calorie cakes are allowed because of zero calories lemon drink! *tadaa* problem solved haha now munch away!
I always fear New Year Mochi, because I hear people can choke and die on it haha, it scared me lol
Awesome code’s as per!
I forgot you snagged that sweater from Tori! It looks so lovely, I love its multi functions hah
I read about that! There are always a few choking deaths! So frightening XO
Those pancakes look SO yummy. XP
I love all your layouts, actually. LOLOL! /fangirl scream/
I am loving your Christmas themed layout!!
And I’m really jealous how awesome you are able to rock the short bob hairstyle!!!!!! I’ve never been able to cut my hair over shoulder length since I first grew them out when I was 5!
Awe thank you! I want to make a new layout now actually
i find the subway station melodies gacha so adorable!
asdfs wish i could afford to be as much of a shopaholic as you, feels guilty just going shopping more than once every two weeks q___q your current hairstyle is very cute, especially the way your hair is kind of afloat haha ///
Haha! I know what you mean about the bangs covering the lashes! But I think it is still visible in your case! Because your hair is blond and your lashes are black!
But for me, my hair is black and I can really just simply not put mascara! Haha!
old school video games ftw! i try to play them on my computer using mods and stuff but bleh. totally not the same as having some sort of controller in your hand!
those pancakes look like they’re to die for om nom nom~~~
