Akihabara & The Weekend

Let's see...we last left me off on the final day of my long weekend. School was pretty much same ol' on Thursday and Friday. That is, tiring and leaving me energy-less. I don't think I'll ever get used to waking up so early. On Friday I had a trial lesson with someone new. Technically I was on time, but I made a mistake on where we were supposed to meet and I was a bit late to the lesson. ><; I hope that didn't reflect too badly, because even though he paid me despite it being a free trial, he still hasn't contacted me to schedule a second lesson yet.

Daniel and I decided we should start doing some more sight seeing again (though I guess Daniel got his fair share since he got to see the Gundam on Wednesday!), so we headed to Akihabara. Daniel took me to some of the places he visited on the tour his school hosted.

I managed to get a shot of this small shrine in the compact little shopping area directly under the JR train tracks. It's amazing how many little shops were jammed packed in that little place! You could buy any electronic part you could ever dream of in there.

Drink Review

So I decided to be a bit adventurous today and try out a few new drinks. First, on the right we have Protein Water by Suntory. I like their lemon drink, but this one I don't like so much. It's kinda milky and incredibly sweet. I've tried to force myself to drink half of it but don't think I can handle anymore.


On the left, we have Collagen 10000 + Vitamin C. It's a drink with the sole purpose of enhancing a woman's beauty. It says "delicious collagen" on it, so I figured I'd give it a try since I've been pretty scared/skeptical of jelly drinks. It surprising wasn't bad! The drink is made by Lotte, which manufactures a lot of sweets, so it was kind of like drinking grape-tasting candy. It has a ton of vitamins in it too, so I think I might start drinking one daily.

Next I need to find a good protein drink. T-T

And Things Start Turning Around

So, the tutoring went much better than expected. He spoke a very good amount of English, and I guess his weak point is listening, so he just wants to have free talk. Hell yeah, getting paid 3,000 an hour just to talk! (・∀・)ｂ But even better, I actually got paid for my trial lesson, which was a pleasant surprise.

Yesterday was Halloween, so we watched Rocky Horror Picture Show on Daniel's laptop and then he made me play Fatal Frame II. It was kinda scary. ><

As such, given I had such a bad week, some retail therapy was in order.

Sabina complained I don't post enough pictures of myself, so here's a picture of me. I would've taken a full body shot, but I don't have a full length mirror so that's impossible if Daniel's not here to take the picture of me. '-' But what I wore was Daniel's flannel shirt with a tanktop underneath and belt on top together with shorts and leggings and boots.

So, off to Shibuya I went in search of a plaid shirt of my own. After searching through every single brand in the the whole building, I came out with this!

It's super cute and I love the fur trimmings. It's supposed to be a onepiece, but I'll probably wear it with shorts and leggings. Maybe with my fur vest too. = 3=

I also found Doritos in the basement of 109! So, I got them. They mostly taste the same as American ones do, just not as...cheesy? I think American Doritos are much more...intense?

Headed home and met up with Daniel at the train station. We headed to Nakau for dinner since I was staaaaarving. I nearly actually ate all of my katsu-curry for once. After that, we headed home and I discovered I got my paycheck for my translation work! I got 4,000 yen. Yaaay~!
