Photo Diary: A date with Yuina :)

H e l l o~ 

皆さんお元気ですか？

昨日はユイナとデートして来ました！ユイナは私の可愛い従姉妹です^_^

Im gonna start writing a little bit of Japanese here and there from now on since my cousin said love checking my blog but she cant understand it so lol ^^;;

I went on a date with my little cousin Yuina yesterday~

Here are what we did on our date!

She insists that we take purikura photos everytime we go anywhere its apprently a tradition amongst girls here in Japan lol

here are the Purikura photo booth we chose, Rumor which is one of the newest machine which I really liked alot compared to other machines cause photos came out clearer compared to other machines that I have tried so far~ 

It was weird at first cause the space in the machine are fairly cramped compared to other machine but what was cool was that the camera in the middle moved up and down, when it came to shooting the whole body the camera moved up and took from an downward angle hence giving off big head small body effect lol  :D

next we took photos in this Lady by Tokyo machine, one of Yuina's favorite machine I asked her why she said it took really nice photos~

For lunch we tried out Sweets Paradise, 

its a chain all you can eat sweets buffet, buffets in Japan has a time limit and this place is for 70min you can eat all you want! Not only sweets they have a little bit of regular food also such a pastas, salad, soup and large variety of sweets, cakes, chocolate fondu and ice creams~ I thought it was ok was not that impressed, all the cakes sorta all tasted the same but hey it was only 1480yen about $18. :)

Then we went shopping around in MYLORD a department store.

Saw new Dolly Wink Brown Mascara and liquid eyeliners! Ofcourse the minty colored packaging caught my eyes lol

Went to this store called Passport 

They sell home goods items along with super cute items lol

cusions and pillows

mugs and mug covers with a spoon holder

Here is my small haul from MYLORD. 

Yuina and I both got this polka-dots after bath towel robe from passport, it was on sale only cost 870yen about $11 and I got a high waist skirt shorts from Honeys which is a clothing stores that sells cute style clothing with a low price~ They were having a sale so this shorts was 50% off! cost only 1190yen about $15! ^__^ I love finding great cheap finds that are cute lol

Photo Diary: Hiratsuka Tananbata summer festival Vblog

Hello!

Last weekend on 7/7 I had the chance to go to Hiratsuka to one of Japan's top Tanabata Festival! Since this was one of the first of the summer festivals in Japan it was super busy and crowed D; I was super tired when I got home.. lol Sorry about the dark video and photos it was cloudy and raining that day. ^^;;

What is Tanabata?

Tanabata (七夕^?, meaning "Evening of the seventh") is a Japanese star festival, originating from the Chinese Qixi Festival.^[1] It celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair respectively). According to legend, the Milky Way separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month 

Made a Vlog of this event :)

All the wishes written on a paper

plastic masks with all the popular characters

tanabata decorations hanged everywhere that lights up at night

character yo-yo ballons

kasutera which is a sponge cake in a hello kitty and doraemon shape so cute

cute yukata girls everywhere but too bad it was raining D;

If you come to Japan during summer till end of Sept you can experience festivals like this in all over Japan, one of my favorite events in Japan!

well thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
