So at the request of some friends I'm doing a daily shoe blog.... where you can see what shoes I wore that day and my reasoning for doing so as well as some delightful facts on shoes!

Toodles!

I have about five to ten minutes before I head to the gym for my daily stress buster with Sakiko, Tomoko, Mai and Sydney.  It is the one hour of my day where I flat out refuse to think about anything but my exercise!! It is keeping me in better shape!  Since the beginning of the semester I have lost nearly two kilograms!  YAY!

Life is continuing to be difficult... I just barely got a C on my Japanese midterm... this year's grammer is just killing me!  But I think once I turn in my paper for composition at the end of next week I can focus on the next big things... the USMC Ball and saving money for Japan.  I get paid this Friday THANK GOD...

I mailed Reagan a cheer up package today because he got beaten in the Book Board (for promotion) by a guy who doesn't do like anything... and even if he won't admit it he really wanted to be all showy offy at the Ball with his new rank and me.... I positive that he at least partilly wanted to have it for my sake.... he's so wonderful to me.

Also his Christmas present came from Hong Kong today.  I ordered his favorite Chinese Cop Drama films in a special edition boxed set... I had to get them from Asia directly because nowhere in the US had the box set...

Anyway... gotta go to the gym

Toodles....

Okay so here is the deal!  Life has beenmovingatarecordpaceandIjustacan'tseemto S-L-O-W I-T DOOOOOOWWWNNN!!!!!


But some good things and some updates for I think the maybe ten of you that read this...

1.I am at home this weekend... glad to have a little less stress.  I went shopping with my mom today and I was SUPER thankful for all the new things she bought for me I wanted to cry.  I got a new pair of jeans and a pleated skirt from Goodwill, a couple of new everyday naughties from Victoria's Secret, and two new shirts, two pairs of leggings and some socks from JC Penny's!  And I got to spend some quality time with my mom which I really miss.


The things I still need to do at home are:
Make cupcakes for J-Drama tomorrow night
Finish my laundry
Make a care package
Work on my kanji journal
Research for my Japanese and maybe my Composition Paper  (@o@)


2. Also while we were out today we bought some little things for my host sister Manami who is currently studying in Nevada right now.  It's been a really hard term for her and I want to make her feel a little better so I got her some good Dove chocolates, a cute shirt with crowns and dots on it and a nice "thinking of you card" which I am about to write an not in Japanese in for her!  I still hope she can come to visit me at Christmas break even if only for a few days but we will see.

3. Reagan has ventured to Myrtle Beach this weekend.... I will miss skyping him... unless he took his laptop which I doubt.  He's supposed to be the "chaperone" while his buddies pick up girls... he doesn't like to do that or encourage their habits but there isn't really anything he can do so I feel bad cause he sorta has to sit out... but he says he doesn't mind because those girls are a dime a dozen... I on the other hand am not!   :)

4. Which I also wanna thank Reagan from the bottom of my heart for putting up with my bad days... like Thursday night when I cried for literally an hour and told him all about my problems and how much I hate certain personality traits that cause me to spread myself too thin.  He's such a wonderful man! <3

5.  I got paid Friday... yeah... so I made a payment on my glasses to my mom, and have the money for my dress (which I'm going to pick up on TUESDAY!!!) and for my credit card bill and I have half of my ticket money to paypal to ya Phen!  (Sorry I had an expense that was larger then I was expecting)

6.  I wanna thank Sydney for taking the exchange students to the airport!!  I sooo owe you for it!  Would you like IHOP or a manicure?????

PS:  THE SHOE BLOG IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT TILL NOVEMBER... but you will get some SUPER exciting shoes that way!!!  (The ball and a trip to Grand Cayman Island in the Carribbean!)

So my host sister from Japan when I was in high school was having a very bad day today and I gave her a call. Since she is now stateside... (Reno Nevada) and I didn't realize how much I missed her until now! We talked about how she has had a persistant guy from high school keep saying he likes her and she doesn't like him and that was upsetting her, so I tried to give her some advice then she taught me a new word in Japanese! 　It's: 告白　（こくはく） It's like used for a declaration of love!! I was like cool!! And we talked so we both got to practice our language skills, even though I'm a bit intimidated to talk to her still I think speaking a littl bit of Japanese at least made her feel more comfortable. And I talked to her about going to Yamagata and she says "Oh! I can't understand their accent! SOOO strange!" I laughed. She also has picked up some bad words while here and its just barely been a month! So far she's got f***, bitch (which I taught her waay back when), asshole and her new word... cunt... I was like! OH! Don't say that!!!

Anyway it was so nice to talk to her and I hope that she can come stay with me at the end of the semester or something or I can afford to go see her before she goes back to Japan.

But as for today I'm hoping I made her day a little less sad.

PS: She also called me slim!! She's soo nice and we joked about being fat  from American food and needing to both eat more salads! Here is a recent picture of her taken in Nevada!

So the group order we made on like Tuesday came in today!  I was like... Bodyline is fast... but for shit seriously!  WOW!  Everything made it okay.  So a picture of the JSK I ordered.  Its really cute but a bit tight, and I love the flat lace on the collar thank God it wasn't ruffles!  It also has detachable bows!  I'm sad it didn't have a matching bag though...


But now I must do homework before the Japan Club meeting... whew soo much to do!

Also my bear hoodie arrived at my house today and my mother says its a "light black" more of a DARK grey... I hope it will still look cute, she said it does... I trust her!  So that will arrive in a day or two as well.

"Hold hands tight for today so you can pull them back to you tomorrow."

Dunno just thought that would be something I would want said to me via cookie...

So my JD replica choker came today! YAY!  All the way from Canada... and I love the jewerly bag it came in!  XD



In other news it looks like I'm applying to the CSU/ Yamagata study abroad program.  It looks like a better fit for me than Kansai Gadai.  And they only offer all year and spring semester exchange!  YAY!

From Jesus Diamante!!!  Okay not realy but my commissioned dress came today... not quite worth what I paid for but she did a nice job and I will make it fit a tiny bit better and it should be lovely for NDK.  I think black tights are in order for it though but I have a few weeks to get those!

Its also a tad short... but without a fitting its soo hard to get things right.  For a trial run it was really good and it looks soo much cuter in person!  Stop by my dorm if you are local and have a looksee!
