~ U N K O ~

Currently my internet is having issues, so I’m writing this now in a Word document. Blogging just feels like an obligatory. Altho I’m not doing this for any goal and I won’t accomplish anything with this.

Anyhow, it’s been a while! Been kinda busy with school *coughs*. . . I had my first piano performance last week Saturday (exactly 7 days ago) =3  Not sure what to say about this. Only that I had a black out right when the climax of the song came >.< So I just skipped that part, and went over to the next part. But, I wasn’t the only one making a few mistakes. Actually everybody made at least one mistake. And also the whole performance was just for fun. So nothing special. But it’s really a bummer that I wasn’t able to perform the whole song perfect, since I’m pretty much a perfectionist.

Last night I stayed over at Fung’s place. Watched a movie called “Sweet Rain” with Takeshi Kaneshiro ^_^  Good movie.
And today we went to Chibicon! Which was… okay… but could’ve been better. Actually it was plain boring tbh XD We wanted to attend some workshops, but were too late to sign up. So what’s left was  gaming, karaoke, food and shopping. Since Fung has singing anxiety, karaoke was out of the question. We did some gaming, ate some stuff and did some shopping. Actually I was the only one. I bought 2 figma’s. Tsuruya-san and Tsukasa Hiiragi which made me really happy ^w^ Ehm… we’ve watched the AMV competition and at the end of the day they were singing, with a big group, the Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga. Of course we sang along. I was really amazed that the lead singer knew (almost) all of the text and was able to sing the very high notes.
Since I’m pretty tired atm, it’s hard to recall all the stuff that happened. Probably also because not much happened. So in the afternoon we just sat outside in the shadows, chillin and stuff.
Quite a few people took photos of/with us. And I took a photo with Lucky Star’s Minoru Shiraishi =3

At  that moment I was stupid enough to forget about the “Bye-ni” hand pose..hehe ^^;;
But the guy was nice and really looked like Minoru which was pretty awesome and my face on the photo is fugly ^^

Just got home from a friend’s late b-day party. Did some Singstar and watched a movie. Laughed a lot XD
Pretty tired at the moment, so I’ll be heading off for bed any moment, since I gotta wake up around 7.30 tomorrow for work. Eiko will give me a visit at work tomorrow, cos she’s eager to see the opening of the new game shop which is nearby. So I’ll be joining her ^^ We haven’t seen each other for a while. It’s like I’m ignoring all my “internet-friends” or hang out people. I missed a LOT of stuff. Like the MUCC concert, D=Out, some b-days and a lot of other meet ups Kinda busy with school lately, end of the year, so I got no time unfortunately >.<

Last monday we got some shocking news at school. A girl, in the same class of my friends, just lost her brother that weekend before. Caused by some accident while playing golf. I really feel so sorry for her. She’ll be missing a big part of her life. Like if I’d lost my brother, I’d be devastated. It’s someone you grow up with. So I’ve got respect for her, being able to go through such a hard time.

Wednesday I had to go to the dentist. He fixed my braces and replaced the wires. So the next day, of course, my teeth hurt like ()@*&$$^*(@!# And still does, but less. But the guy said this’ll be the last time I have to replace my wires, and hopefully I’ll be brace-less around september ^^
After going to the dentist I went to IKEA with my mom and dad!! I really LOVE IKEA! <3 My whole room has been made out of IKEA…except for the curtains and paint on the wall. Like my desk, bed, wardrobes, floor, lamps, shelves. And now also the chair I’m now sitting in. My old chair really needed some replacement. I fell several times from my chair. Like when I’m changing position, and then suddenly the surface from the chair falls off >.<

Behold, my new IKEA chair n__n

It’s really comfortable and it can roll around very smoothly through the whole room XD The wheels from my last chair were stuck and not able to rotate. Ever heard of a chair being able to kill a person btw? I’m glad I replaced that old crap chair of mine ^^”

Last weekend I had some fun with brownies and a puppet called Mr.Jummy (which is from a commercial). Read more

Don’t you also have those times that you’re just soooo lazy to do about anything.
Like getting out of bed, taking a shower, eating, change your clothes. Lately I’m one of those victims since it’s still spring break. The best time to do nothing. Just lazying my ass off until it has doubled its size. Which is my reason for neglecting my blog. Neglecting… is that the right word? Or slacking maybe… Hehe, whatever. My apologizes for my all-time sucking English and slackingness (?) XD

Actually on this place here, I typed a lot about something that has been on my mind some while. But in the end my mind, the text, it didn’t make sense and I backspaced it. Like blegh… I’m a bit confused with myself and my mind is messed up >.<
I might tell about it in another post when my mind is a bit cleared up and I actually understand myself XD

While I was looking for some photos to post, I thought “Hm… I might wanna reorganize my photos sometime…or maybe now”. So I reorganized my photos and I’m slacking again =p

Anyway, some days ago my mini top hat for the Mio cosplay arrived. I’m too lazy to make it myself… Oh wait, I’m not allowed to say lazy D:
Still need to fix it with a red/pinkish ribbon.

While I was reorganizing my photos I found this photo I made last year.

Supposed to look like Tenma Tsukamoto from School Rumble. Recognizable? XD

The day before yesterday my friend Fung stayed over. For our Chibicon double cosplay we’ve been making our attributes. We went to the local DIY store and bought some PVC pipes and isolation material. Would be much easier if we could just use some wooden stick. However there are rules for the convention, and one of them is that you can’t bring along hard attributes. Such as wood, metal and such. With the pvc pipes and isolation material the stick is very flexible. I won’t say what cosplay we’re doing and what kind of attributes we were making, but you might be able to guess after reading further.
We covered the isolation material with ropes. Actually, at first we wanted to paint it. But the paint probably wouldn’t stick on the isolation material. And after that we made a lot of shides and attached them on the stick/rod. Already got an idea of what we were making? ;D Will tell more about our cosplay after Chibicon, since I still want to keep it a surprise for some people reading here ^^
At midnight we’ve been watching Shakugan no Shana ’till 4.15 am. Next day we woke up around 13.00 pm and continued our anime marathon ;D

Have been dusting off my desk, my kokeshi dolls and my small figures collection. Still need to do my maneki nekos tho D: Will show them later in another post.
Here’s already a preview from my kokeshi dolls. So cute! ^_^

My older sister thought that their hair looked like a helmet, which I can’t disagree XD

A bit late, but a quick post wouldn’t mind ^^
I added 2 new people in the sidebar under “Friends”. Boeru and Zucht’s (new) blog. Take a peek if you’d like to ^^ They’re about their personal life and stuff. So I do understand you wouldn’t read them, since most of you don’t know them XD

It’s now actually spring break (FINALLY!) so got some more time for myself. Have been watching some anime the past few days. Still haven’t watched all the series I planned to watch tho, but at least I made a start. Until now I’ve seen 07-Ghost, Asu no Yoichi, K-ON, Pandora Hearts and Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~. Gotta say, the last one Phantom is probably my fave out of these 5. It somehow reminds me of Darker than Black. Like the same atmosphere or something. Only the opening already made me exited! First episode was good, second was less. But first eps are always better than the other episodes, to give a good first impression for the watchers. I experienced that with a lot of anime. One of them was Chaos Head. First episode was really cool and creepy. But the others were crap. So I actually hope Phantom won’t be like that. However the second episode was slacking some story. Not sure what to say about 07-Ghost. I’ll wait for the next episodes and see if they’re okay. Same goes with Asu no Yoichi. Pandora Hearts was also okay. First episode was good, second one… hmm… Will await this one as well. And K-ON!… will follow this one definitely! Somehow I like K-ON! ^^ It’s cute and fun. Might wanna have some change of pace, since I’ve been watching a lot of shounen anime lately. For some reason, I like shounen anime more than shoujo. Maybe because of the bishies? ^^;; Actually, it’s very important for me that an anime has at least one bishie (aka good looking guy). But I also like shounen anime because of the action. Gives me the feeling that I’m actually watching something. Like “SHIT NOW WE’RE TALKIN!”. And shoujo anime are all the same.The plot lines are all sooooo predictable XD BUT that doesn’t mean that it’s not fun to watch ^^ Some slice of life, comedy and moe would do some good for me ^^ Speaking of moe, dontcha think Mio is cute ^^ In the first episode, I thought she was this tough type. But in the following episodes she was already showing her moe side.
Oh rite… the Sebastian nendoroid can wait till later (unfortunately). Instead I bought some other stuff, including parts for my Mio cosplay ^^ Like a top hat, since I’m not able to make that myself. I’ll fix it later with a red/pinkish ribbon. And I bought the armwarmer and the teal colored thights Mio is wearing in the ending clip.

I love cosplay, but mainly only to watch other people. If they’re doing it good, cosplays look so awesome! Currently Dannychoo has a guest blogger named Alodia Gosiengfiao. And srsly, she’s one hell of a butler cosplayer! Her cosplays are so awesome XD. Not only her cosplays but also her drawings are very nice ^^. Read her introduction here and check out her site.

Me and cosplay? Yeah, only if the character has the same hair cut as me. Aka. black, long and straight with a fringe. Since it’s pretty hard for me to use wigs, cos my hair is pretty long ^^;; So that’s why I thought “OMG, I should cosplay as Mio!”. Oh, and Mio and I also got the same age

Yesterday I also bought a gift for my sister, who turned 30 years old today! (congratz sis… even tho you wouldn’t read this). And bought a gift for Mothers day. There goes my money ;___;

It’s a bit late now, and I gotta work tomorrow.

Dewa ^^

I’m a bit moody today. Not sure why since the weather is very nice today (about 18 °C). Lately I’ve also been walking to school instead of cycling. It’s just such a good weather to walk ^^ Normally it’ll take me 3 minutes to cycle to school. Walking takes about 15 minutes (I take small steps since my legs aren’t really tall, and I walk slow). But I don’t really mind since the weather is nice, I’ve got my mp3 player and it’s healthy ^^ While talking about the nice weather now, my mood is already getting better, so it certainly is not the weather’s fault for me being moody. Probably just all the people around me.  They make me annoyed. Or maybe I’m just tired. Tired of everything =___=
So I’m now sitting in my room. Told everyone that I’m gonna make my hw, which was a lie since I’m too lazy for that ^^;; Blogging is just more fun, although I don’t know why.

So I promised to tell something about my 3 day school trip to Antwerp. Although it isn’t as awesome as London for example, we certainly did had some fun ^^

The day before, on tuesday april 14, I prepared some yakitori, which I planned on taking in a bento the next day on the trip. I was given a bento box for my birthday in december from Sie Weh. Never used the box, so I wanted to make use of it for the first time. The only thing I had to do the next morning was heating up all the food in the microwave. We had some leftover vegetables and rice from last night’s dinner which I could use in my bento. I even made an attempt to decorate the rice! Also made 2 onigiris from the leftover rice and prawns.

Today’s specialty: UNKO – Yakitori with broccoli ‘n mushrooms and crap decorated rice.

Usable as blog header?

Side dish: Onigiri wrapped in nori with prawn filing and sesame topping.

(Warning, lots of photos coming up )
