happy!

this entry is a lot more happy and positive than the last one.

this week i've been feeling happier and very excited for a couple things. mostly because i realized i'm going to japan next week. in about 5 days!!! i'm so excited to do a ton of shopping. hopefully the heat won't kill me. i have a couple definite things i have to buy. one is gackt's semi-recent album. it came out late last year i think. there's a more recent one that came out within the month i think, but that's another collection of singles and i have most, if not all of them, since they've been on past albums. if i have the money [and i find them] i also still want to buy Mars and Rebirth. those are the only other two albums of his that i don't have. and his first mini-album, mizerable, but i can kinda do without that for now.
the other things i want are general clothes, shoes and accessories so there's not one real set thing i'm going to be searching for.
i'm also excited to see aiko and hang out with her again. it'll kind of feel like we're just hanging out here again. except i'll be on her turf. she'll be showing me around instead. =] [and we'll get to take a ton of purikura for WAY CHEAPER that cue!!!]

i'm also really excited about going to disneyland this saturday with mari [my coworker]. it's not like she hasn't been there before or has been only a few times. she knows disneyland as much as i do. she used to have a pass and go practically every weekend. she also has a minnie-crazed friend. haha. anyways, yeah. she just turned 28 but is still so kid-like outside the office. she married but doesn't have kids. i think that's a big reason why she's still a kid. she's really fun and funny. yaaaaay! ^____^

i have to do the rest of my laundry and start planning what i want to bring to japan. it's gonna be SO HOT! @__@
i also need sleep. i was up until 4 last night because i painted my nails like minnie mouse! haha xD ok. i think that's it for now. bye!

vent/rant/boredom

i just wanna type something but i have no real direction with this entry.

school has been bugging me. i'm in summer and school is stressing me out. i don't like it. i'm not looking forward to taking this one class. i have no choice if that's my major and if i just want to get it over with and graduate with some kind of degree, keeping my asian studies major is the fastest way since i'm partly done with it since the japanese classes i took count towards it. but i'm not gonna take it quietly. i will cry and bitch about it probably the whole semester. and george, you're gonna have to be there for me.

i went to target yesterday and bought myself a curtain. haha yeah, just one panel. i have this big, black piece of material hanging over my bed and then going down to make a wall between the foot of my bed and the door. i wanted something black and pretty, but the cheapest ones were all way too sheer so i spent about $20 for it. i have some sheer pink material i got awhile back intending to make actual curtains so maybe i can layer it to make it pretty. the curtain i got is white with black chandelier and lace designs. i wanna change up my room just a little bit. i can't move anything around but i can change certain things. i should also change up my gackt poster/calendars. i got one for christmas but haven't put it up because i barely put up the previous one about 6 months before christmas and i didn't want to take it down yet.

tonight i'm going out for dinner with my work. yakiniku. the one place i do not mind going. ever. i'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

also, i think it's pretty set that i'm going to disneyland with mari [my coworker] on the 31st. hopefully nothing big comes up that gets in the way.

well i guess that's it. that was fast. oh well. bye!

Post-AX

Anime Expo has come and gone. and they're already telling us we can register for next year!!!

really?? give me a break! it just ended! and they're saying i have until thursday if i want to register for $45 for next year. i'm really tempted since AX does have a refund policy and if anything were to come up, i can just cancel it and get a refund. then it goes up to $50 until november. and i'm thinking that's not too bad either. just $5 more. but that's how they get you.

i changed my design since it's now july. the color looks really similar to my last one but this has a girl in a bikini and it gives me this beachy vibe. and since we're planning a beach day right now, i think it fits.

AX was fun. our room was really spacious and everyone was chill with each other. the only thing i can gripe about is the dance. we didn't get to go night 1 but we went night 2 at club nokia and it wasn't that great. we had a guest from japan DJing so that was cool...except they seemed to play only hardcore [really fast beats] and how the hell do you dance to that?? and the set was like a concert. the DJs were on stage, the ppl in the front main tier were facing the stage, bopping and fist pumping. NOT dance-like at all. that was more like a concert. they'd play for 5mins, then stop and get everyone to cheer. do that every once in awhile but not after every song! totally ruined the flow. we were there for only 30 mins maybe then left.
the rest of the con was cool. half the time it seemed like me and kelly were helping amanda with some part of her cosplay. whether it be in the room getting her dressed or at the con, helping her carry her prop or fixing her wig.

me and kelly really want to cosplay as a group next year. i want to either cosplay or design something since there's more freedom with that. but we were stopped more than enough times for amanda that on the last day we stood in the back making faces at the camera. i'm sure some photographers weren't happy, but tough. now we wanna be in the damn pictures too. but we have NO clue what we can do.
my design idea more creative. we each get a signature color and wear similar outfits with different details. the best example i can think of is when me, kelly, and cathy each wore a white blouse, mostly black corset, black skirt, and boots. our blouses were slightly different, our skirts were different lengths/styles, and same with the shoes. the 3 of us together looked pretty good =D haha. i wanna do that again, but bigger.

i'm gonna stop now because i could go on and on with different topics right now and that would make this entry as long as the miyavi one. byee!
