Mizuki

Went to go see my friend’s baby while I’m back in Aichi.
I first saw Mizuki when she was a newborn earlier this year.

mine melted almost completely just 5 steps out of the ice cream shop…. :(

A time for rest…

So much has been going on that I’m not quite sure how to process everything….
Times like this…..it’s just nice to chill out.

I came back home for Obon week to just relax and chill at home.

My cats are on a healthy diet… so whenever I’m eating, I eat under pressure….
from this guy.

Just a quick update of what’s been going on

Last month:

We celebrated ReiRei’s birthday

went to a BBQ at Futakoshinchi for the first time

and lots of other things in between…

but hoping things turn out for the best.

Etsy

I’ve been browsing through Etsy for about half a year now,
but I could never really bring myself to make a purchase because…I don’t know..
I’ve never made a purchase on Ebay until now either. lol
I guess because I’m more comfortable shopping online domestically than worldwide.

I’d check out the weekly finds, and browse randomly, and “favorite” things,
but I couldn’t help but BUY this ring. My first purchase ever on Etsy…

photo1-2010-06-30-00-32.jpg

It’s a very thin double finger knuckle ring made of stainless steel.

i love it!

After I returned to Tokyo, I got together with friends at Junkadelic for dinner.
Junkadelic has the BEST nachos in Tokyo!! (but if you know of better, please do let me know!)

They’re taking tequila shots…. but not me. lol
Just so you know, please don’t ever offer me any tequila.
I don’t do tequila. Never will. So don’t bother trying to persuade me.
