Where have I been?

I am becoming really bad at blogging again. ＼(°■。)／ But my excuse is it's mainly due to the fact the internet connection here is really bad some days! Also I have to upload photos from my phone so I encounter even more problems because hah I don't have the Godly amazing iPhone.


Quick catch up:
☆ My Boyfriend visited the UK around the end of September. Within the first hour this is what happened, yeah that lovely photo of my knees, (please ignore the filters as my legs are not my best asset) I threw myself on the floor at Heathrow Airport, in front of EVERYONE.
(´；ω；｀) Luckily, my Boyfriend didn't see me doing my Penguin impression.

☆ We did a lot of sightseeing, but not enough at the same time. There is a lot of the UK he wanted to see, but we couldn't cover it all. We did go to London with my Parents! My Parents had never been to the places I took them to but for me it felt a bit boring. But it was super fun, in fact the whole time my Boyfriend was here it was fun.

☆ There was also a lot of food to be eaten! I think some of the food we ate inspired him too. Either that or shocked his arteries. We also had a Party to welcome him, so he got to meet the rest of my Family, which was super nerve wrecking for us both.

< Cream Teas x Big Breakfast x Kebab x BBQ x Pizza x Chilli x Toad in the Hole >

☆ My Boyfriend finally bonded with my Cat! It actually took Mia some time to become convinced he was no danger to her (or me). It was heartbreaking that she wouldn't come into my room while he was there. But they eventually made Friends and it was super cute.

The days he spent in the UK were super fun and the weather was surprisingly good too! We did a lot of shopping and he even treated me to a couple things, b'aww. Traveling really knocks it out of you, we visited the seaside which was FREEZING. But it was so-so good to snuggle up with him again, and all that mushy stuff. Eventually my Cat decided to share the bed with us, which felt more like playing a game of Twister, but I wasn't complaining.

☆ September Start ☆

It is already September, I am a little shocked how fast this year is passing by! Next month it is my Birthday month! As well as Halloween month! Yes!  ＼(^Ｏ^)／

This post is going to be a little mish-mash, I have been meaning to post these things awhile ago but unfortunately, two other items are still in the post, and by the time they arrive I not have the motivation - and will probably have erased the photos from my phone. 

Anyway a long-long time ago I went to visit my Friend, Sako. I am on a major hunt to find shorts, and NO WHERE is selling any within my price range. Even Primark are selling these odd 'carpet attachment pube tassle' shorts, gross. So we gave up, but I did spot one or two things but the queues in Primark are horrible and long, and full of Children and loud People, so no. I decided to go shopping in my home town and I found all the items I wanted, plus more, well - still no shorts. 

 Footless tights, which are slashed looking. I have similar leggings but maybe tights will be more comfortable. I also found 'knee high' socks. I've worn one pair, washed said pair, and they pretty much shrunk in the wash to mid-calf/ankle high, what the hell. (_ _ |||) Yeah I actually shouldn't be spending unwisely on items, but it's so difficult to resist anything with polka dots or cat faces. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

 

/insert iliterate keysmash and demonic sound

Isn't it so cute?! Okay so Primark are falling on that bandwagon of over using Cat faces, Unicorns.. WOT. There are so many pieces I want from Primark, and I'm just sat sniffling at my bank balance. Which is dead.

I did also buy myself a new book, which is really useful for anyone learning Japanese and can't quite grasp particles. Which within the first page I also learnt there are over 70 particles featured in this book. EH?! Luckily there are over 200 examples of how to use said particles. ‹‹\(´ω` )/››‹‹\( 　´)/›› ‹‹\( ´ω`)/››

What books do you find useful for studying Japanese?

[Personal] Oh and also, I am not dying! Σ（ﾟдﾟlll） I have good news after all! Aside from weight gain which I cannot gain because my metabolism is so.. good? I discovered there was a cyst near/on my ovary. Apparently these are really common in Women (well, who else?) and mine had become inflamed and rather angry. Apprently 'he' was 3CM, which sounds small, but dude it's scary!! I'm happy that it cured itself too without any operation, as they naturally come and go, a lot of women aren't even aware. So Girls, always consider going to your Doctor if you feel or think something is not quite right? (T 3 T) Weh~~

『AWAY TIME』

A pointless blog post; mainly because I have been absent on Blogger and every time I touch something electrical it flakes out on me. So I cannot retrieve the 300 odd photos from Japan right now either. Boo. Also the weather today (yet again) is raining, after a fab two/three days of sun and now I have a nice tan - well nothing compared to my Boyfriend, I'm still white as a ghost. So, here are 50 questions and my answers to pass time today.

(*ノωノ) Happy Valentines Day

(つ∀｀*) Happy Valentine's Day~ To all my readers! （´ω｀♡%）

I actually don't enjoy this day - but each to their own! Despite having a Boyfriend, I don't really 'celebrate' Valentine's Day and see it as one of the (many) pointless holidays the media says we should enjoy. Time will tell if my Boyfriend does believe in such a date; however he is Japanese so they sort of have 'two' Valentine's day. Valentine's is mostly Female giving a present to the male, and White Day is the reverse! Cute.

Anyway; here - there and everywhere I get questions about my Boyfriend, my relationship with him; etc etc. So I decided to answer a couple questions since the theme is all about 'love' and I usually grossly object to such thing, especially publicly. (My BFFLs know evurrrryting) 

1) How did you meet your Boyfriend?

Long story short - Internet, by chance that he noticed me. We agreed to meet in Japan last year of March. But things didn't turn official (I assume) until I got home in England when he asked if I had a Boyfriend or not. That is pretty much when everything became official.

2) First date and where?

(Actually, this question was 'have you ever been on a date?' since we are a LDR)

Our first 'date' was in March when we met, we went drinking in Shinjuku. We were limited for time, and we were super nervous so we hardly spoke much and used a phone to translate. He did however walk me to my train and tried to pay for my ticket -- sweet.

3) Favourite memory / date?

We have made many-many memories together! I couldn't name just one! Although the best memory would be the BBQ last summer. I finally officially became part of his Friendship circle, and I was able to see him as he is around his Friends. We also did fireworks this night too; and we did our best to make 'wishes'. 

Favourite date: perhaps the aquarium. It was so nice!! We laughed at so many of the strange fishes, and you know really, it's the little things that count. Also the town we passed through to get there was beautiful, it did feel like an English fishing dock and it honestly felt surreal!

4) What do you like and dislike about him?

I'll start with 'dislike' -- as most men, he has 'caveman syndrome'! If something is wrong or he is sick he will sulk in his cave. This will worry me because of the distance and I'm not there to help him. But I respect the fact cultural difference make this what it is.

What do I like -- EVERYTHING (apart from the above) he's so caring, if I ever said I had stomach ache; seriously, he would do anything possible to make me feel better. He will always do his best for everyone, I really admire his get-up-and-go attitude, it's inspirational.

5) What did his Parents / Family think of you when you met?

This will be lenghty but amusing. 

   To be honest actually; meeting his Family ended up disastrously! I arrived in Japan and we had to leave the Car at his Parents; his Mother was just leaving to walk the dog -- and then his Father came home from work. I was still sat in the car having some mild panic attack and EVERYTHING Japanese just exited my mind! I was not at all prepared to meet them so soon. I actually was fixed to my seat in fear until they had gone.

   Finally, I met his Brother and Sister; (same day) I panicked again. But this night I also met Kanako; she speaks English slightly so it was a very good ice breaker to our Friendship. His Brother and Sister are very sweet; and I commented on his Sisters harem pants to which she asked to go shopping. PANIC. 

   I agreed to go shopping only; we ended up at his Parents house - AGAIN, without my Boyfriend. I wanted to cry because I didn't want to be alone (I was with his Sister) however surprisingly, having the family pet with me eased me. Again, second meeting with his Parents and I looked shellshocked and scared. 

   EVENTUALLY; I did meet with them officially (numerous times) with my Boyfriend and EVERYTHING was good. They had known about me since March and seemed to want to meet me. His Mother asked a lot of questions; why I liked her son, as most Mothers do. But they really found me interesting as well as English culture. I really love his Family, and I couldn't thank them enough for everything they did.

There you have it~ I only answered five which are the most common. I have had various questions such as: language barrier, future, kinks/turn ons, kisses, his home, peeves, favourites this/that... I probably will focus on a language barrier question in the future, since it's one not only Friends ask, but Family too. One question I have gotten a couple times: 'Can I see a photo of you and him together?'

There.. now hush. I am only showing purikura because it makes my skin look better HAH.

† THANKSGiViNG

Happy Thanksgiving to all my lovely followers!

Though, being British we obviously don't really celebrate this, and additionally I don't like turkey either! (ﾉ∇･､)ｸｽﾝ Do you like turkey?
Right now there is a Twitter trend that inspired me to write this blog! "WhatAreYouThankfulFor" and because the end of the world year is near, it made me think back on this whole year rather than my life time walking this crazy planet.

☆ This year I am thankful for the people I have met, and lost. Yes, I am thankful for the people I have lost, because if it wasn't for them, I would never have met any of my new Friends, whom truly make me the happiest! This year, admittedly has had it's ups and it's downs, but I am never kept down for long because of my Friends and Family!
One new face leads to another, and thanks to you I have met some of the nicest people in Japan. Everyday I miss them, and you. I actually cannot thank you enough it is impossible..

 ☆ I am honestly thankful for my Family (cliché I know) but they have, and always have put up with my constant griping about one thing or t'other! Right now they have to put up with all my quibbles, as usual. Also, I am glad that they are supportive of my ridiculous LDR! (_ _|||)

☆ I am thankful for my Best Friend, she always puts up with my motives, the good the bad and the ugly. We have been Friends since maybe 2008/2009 and even though it is only a very few years, it feels like we have known each other for a life time! She is my Northern Tea Sister!! (I am also thankful for tea). I hope we never fall out, she's the only Friend I have who can tolerate my ~uniqueness~ and we tell each other everything. SISTERS!

☆ Also, I am thankful for my blog readers! ('ω'*)アハ♪ You guys put up with my blog's insanity. So thank you for always reading, commenting and following me!!  Even though I am not like the other most common bloggers out here at Blogspot, I do hope to entertain, update and inform you (about my life lolwot). I feel I am going soft in my old age..

☆ FUTURE iNVASiON ☆

Earlier I received an interesting yet disappointing message from the Guitarist of DELeTE (well I actually had to ask him about it, since the Bassist talks in riddles worse than I do). After I was fully updated I had to pass on the news, bad news of course that the Bassist, Neu would be departing from the band. (´Д｀υ)
The way he worded it, it would be an invasion of another planet, as the band hold a slight space x alien theme, it's cute non the less. Annoyingly I'm the only remaining Staff page to actually update, but oh well.
I spoke a bit to Renji, and he too is departing from the band, so he confirmed that DELeTE would in fact disband and they will all work on their own projects within the future （　◞‸◟）… Yes I am sad, but it's not the end of the world. Indeed I am still going to follow the ex Band Members on their next adventure. Furthermore, I am happy I got to work with them, even for less than a year, it was fun and they really encouraged me to learn more Japanese.

本当にありがとうございます！！

 

I always get complimentary photos at the end of the night.
