Shibuya 109

I ended up heading back to Shibuya 109 to check out all 10 floors and see what each of the stores on every floor has to offer. I ended up taking the wrong exit out, but somehow my sense of direction sent me in the right direction towards the building. I managed to get offered a lot of free tissues and even some free hair product samples the girls were handing out in front of 109. Yay for being given stuff even though I'm a foreigner. Speaking of which, there were a ton of white people there today. It was kinda strange.

I didn't take any pictures inside Shibuya 109 since pictures are supposedly forbidden. But man, everything inside was so shiny and cute!! I ended up only buying two things today though.
First off, I got this...vest kind of thing from Rose Fan Fan. I saw it being worn on a mannequin and just had to have it, especially since it was half off. I'll probably regret it though since it needs to be ironed...and also seems to need something called a laundry net or washing bag? I guess I'll check out Lawson 100 tomorrow to see if they have one of those.
Aaaand also got myself a backpack from a store called Ober Tashe! It looks perfect for fall and winter, and apparently has been super popular since this was the last one she said. It's got a ton of pockets too, so very handy.

I wanted to buy some shoes and get a phone strap, but I couldn't decide which strap I wanted. I think I'll visit one last Sanrio store before I make up my mind, or maybe I'll just follow some other girls who have 4 different straps on their phones. I saw a really pretty one across from the store that was selling the bag I purchased, so I'll probably go back and buy it.

After making my way up and down the floors, I decided I was tired and would head back home. Daniel ended up beating me home from his orientation, and we decided to go to a steak house called Little Maggie.
It was pretty good, although there was too much fat on it. T_T But nice to see I can get a decent cheap steak from somewhere nearby.

After that we did a bit of conbini hopping while I searched out a magazine called Blenda, but I couldn't find it so I ended up settling for S Cawaii. Let's see how much I like it...

Daniel has orientation tomorrow again, and we're going to meet Nicole again at 7 at Shibuya Station. I doubt I'll have my new outfit ready, but we'll see.

  3. Nice to see you ate some protein for dinner. Just what mom asked for! Interesting about the butter on the steak, I have seen people do that. Did it make it taste better? What kind of steak was it? Did you eat the beans? Love the vest, I thought it was at dress first. It was like one you had your eye on at a store here.. right. Love the back pack now need to get some boots to match.
