School

It has been almost 3 weeks since school started. So far, this year is off to a good start. My teachers are somewhat more decent than they were last year and I have the same lunch as most of my friends. I have been busy with marching band but I am currently trying to do all my homework as much as I can. As for now, I feel like I can balance my schoolwork and band and I have been doing a pretty good job at it. Also, I have started to record a new cover but I want to finish it when I get new headphones. Only one ear works but I still use it anyway since I've too lazy to tell my dad I need to get new headphones.

September

This year is just going by so fast! It's already September! Summer just went by a flash. Anyways, my summer was pretty boring. I just chilled at home a lot, watched a bunch of anime and dramas. Also I had band camp for 2 weeks which was really hard because I had to run a lot and now school started again. I honestly wasn't looking forward to school because I had a really tough year last year but for now, I think it's going pretty good. I have friends who have the same lunch as I do, I have friends in more classes this year and all my teachers seem nice.

Japan Trip 2013: Being Stressed

When I was in Japan, I didn't have the best time there. It's not because the country is bad, it's just that the people I went with made me feel stressed. Still, I wanted to do blog posts of my trip because it was my first time going there in 4 years and during those 4 years, I was dying to go. Also I don't know when the next time I'll be going there because of the expenses and I can only go during the holidays when theres no school. Anyways, when I figured out that I'm going to Japan, I was very excited. I thought that I'll have a fantastic time there and get to eat all the food that I've been wanting to eat for years. 

I was wrong. As soon as I got to the airport, I remembered how bad of a time I had when I went to Hawaii with my mom and my brother. I started to feel less excited and when I got onto the plane, that's when I realized it's going to be hell. I ended up getting the airplane food and I realized that I couldn't eat it so my mom got mad at me. Also because of something I ate on the plane, I started to feel like I was going to throw up. I ended up not throwing up and I thought my headache would just go away but it never did. It led me not have any appetite during the whole trip. When we were at the hotel, I was treated pretty much like crap by my mom and brother. My brother would get pissed at me whenever I "followed" him and my mom always seemed mad at me for no reason. 

The next day when I went to the Hello Project shop in Akihabara, I felt like I needed to rush and buy everything in around 5 minutes. That led me to be in line again because I realized that I wrote down some pictures that were already sold out. After that, I didn't realize that it takes a long to get all the pictures so it took me an hour just to get my order. The people who were in front of me ordered what over 50 photos?? So my brother lost his patience and just left with my mom. 

I just felt like I couldn't do anything I wanted to do with my brother around. I couldn't even order a parfait because my brother wanted it. Anyways, that led me to feel very stressed and at one point, I felt like I was going to die. Luckily I only got sick but I felt like I didn't belong with my family.

Japan Trip 2013: Getting sick in Japan

So today I would like to talk about getting sick in Japan and what my experience was like. So I started to feel ill the night I got back from Universal Studios Japan. I felt like I needed to throw up and I did. But then I felt like I had to throw up again which to me was weird. At first I thought I just felt bad and not sick because I ate more than I can and ended up riding rides that will make me puke after that. I usually feel a lot better after I throw up but I didn't. Then from what I remember, I think my mom realized that I was sick. 

The next day, I just relaxed and stayed at my grandma's house, hoping I'll feel better. I felt worse though. I had to throw up a few times and having to walk felt very painful. I had no appetite so I basically just ate jelly. I ended up making a mistake of eating some chips because I thought I felt a little better which made me feel worse. My mom called my grandma from my dad's side since she was a pharmacist and asked what kind of illness I might have. From what I was told, the illness I had was something that was spreading. 

I still felt like crap that night so the next day I went to a local hospital and had to have a Intravenous therapy. The cost for the hospital trip was 100 dollars and it was cheaper than I expected since the U.S is more expensive when it comes to going to hospitals with no insurance. 

During my last days of being in Japan, I began to feel better. I didn't have much of an appetite though but still, I didn't feel like I had to puke. I never figured out what I exactly had but I'm assuming that it was a stomach flu of some sort.

Japan Trip 2013: Universal Studios Japan

So when I went to Japan, I went to USJ for the 3rd time. This time, I went to see a Illumination show which was pretty interesting though my brother got bored lol. We decided to meet up with my grandma and I had a pretty decent time. 

Before we went inside, we decided to have dinner. As far as I remember, I had McDonalds and my mom had Takoyaki. There was a Takoyaki museum where there were a bunch of Takoyaki stands.

                             I decided to take a picture of it since I thought it was cute :) 

  The outside of USJ was pretty cool. I think it was my first time actually looking at through the shops and see what kind of food they had.

The goods at the gift shop were just so adorable! Sadly I didn't buy anything of them because they were pretty expensive and I was being pretty cheap which I regret. 

After we just looked around, we watched the show and we went for Pizza. The pizza there is pretty good, a lot better than the pizzas than I've tried in Japan. I had no appetite but I ate anyways. When we were done eating, we rode some rides. 

 Also we watched parade. It was just so pretty and the lights were amazing! 

After the parade, it was time to go so we decided to go home. It was very nice going to USJ at night since it was my first time doing so. Although I actually stayed in Japan for 5 more days after that, I got sick. I thought it was because I rode the rides despite eating too much was the problem but I think it had to do with stress. I will talk more about that on my next blog post so look forward to that! 

Japan Trip 2013:Osaka

This is my last Japan post until I go back to Japan again which I have no clue no when, but I also went to Osaka. I normally go to Osaka/Kansai since that's where all my relatives live. So this was my first time actually being to sight see in Tokyo. Anyways, today I am going to make a blog post about my trip to Osaka. 

On my first full day in Osaka, I went to Namba to watch a movie. The movie was Puella Magi Madoka Magica. My brother watched the anime so he wanted to watch the movie. Since I never seen the anime, I had no clue what was going on. After the movie, we just wandered around the mall, went to the arcade. On that very day, we had a haircut appointment so we kind of had to leave a little early especially since we were planning to ride the bus back. The haircut was very well done. I got a straight perm and it lasted for over 6 months and theres still a little bit of it left. Here is picture of the cake I ate before we went to go watch the movie. 

I actually wanted to eat a Parfait but my brother got pissed off at me for wanting to eat the same thing as him so I ended getting the cake. 

Before we went to a cafe, we were looking for something to eat and came across this. It looked pretty cool so I took a picture of it. 

For dinner, we went to Sukiya and I had a Gyudon. I thought it was pretty good but I didn't eat a lot of it because I wasn't very hungry. 

On the second day, we went to the Q's mall again and I had a another crepe. 

Although I stayed in Osaka for another 5 days or so, these are all the pictures I have of my trip and I will be planning to write about my trip to Universal Studios Japan next.

New Cover!

I finally finished my new cover! This time, I covered Naichaukamo by Morning Musume. When I was recording this song, it made me want to record a more happier song for some reason lol. But I still love this song anyways! :D
