21-->22

The last day of being a 21 year old was a very strange one. First of all, I had work. That being said, the fact that I had to be in  my office was not the reason for the strange feeling in my gut that I still can't seem to put a finger on. Anyway, 'gut-feelings' are always difficult to pin point.... Last year was a big year, and  perhaps I was feeling a little weary. Perhaps I didn't want to turn a year older, a little hesitant as to what the future's hiding from me. Or just hung over. I don't know.

 Having a dream and a goal in life can also be a little stressful sometimes, and honestly, sometimes I just don't want to mature, to grow up, or study hard, or to be outstanding or talented! Sometimes, I just want to be the carefree, adventurous, maybe even a little ditsy 20-some-year-old that does whatever she wants; the word 'consequence' and 'responsibility' not existing in her vocabulary.

But that's just sometimes, really, and coincidentally, it just had to be on my B-day that these thoughts decided to plague me with their lethargic venom.  And fortunately, the strange gut feeling didn't last too long!

After work, Boris and I went out to our favorite Izakaya to celebrate my Birthday Eve. We had the all-you-can-drink plan, and ordered all of our favorite things on the menu. We drank and ate and talked till we couldn't anymore with no care of the next day's schedule. And stumbling home, clinging to each other for support, finding great humor in our intoxicated state, upsetting neighbors with our adorable (loud) giggling and laughter, I closed the door to another year, and with the one and only Boris.

Love that crazy little shit! Ain't she the cutest?

Thanks for putting up with this crazy 22 year old, Boris. You're the best thing in my life!

 I'm branching out with my nail art! This was so fun to do! It was also a massive neck and back ache!

soooo pretty!

I just got lashes extensions! Thanks, Aich, for the lovely Birthday present! Putting make up on in the morning will be a breeze! Yay!

I will post pictures later, when I have time.

News Flash: A man was stabbed on the platform of Kinshicho station yesterday!! 

So not cool, considering the fact that it's my station that I use! Somehow, the whole thing put me under the weather and I couldn't concentrate on my nail art or anything for that matter! I ended up accomplishing little, helping myself with some retail therapy, and ended the night with a (half)  bottle of red wine, and an episode of 'The Following'.

But here are some of the results of last night's practice.

You know about nail stickers right? Just stick 'em on, and they look fantastic! I used to be obsessed with those until I bought myself a paint brush and some paint!

Fantastic discovery: There's a Bubba Gump and a HUB near my school!!!

So, I've stopped going out to drink. That's a lie. I still go out for drinks, but significantly less than before. But that doesn't mean I don't drink at home! I allow myself to indulge in alcohol and junk food 1-2 times a week, and naturally, those days fall on the weekend when I don't have to worry about work the next day.

So, the Kaldi in my station was sampling some Australian red wine which I had sip of, naturally, and I liked what I tasted a lot. No thinking, I grabbed myself a bottle, and enjoyed it with some blue-cheese-look-alike ...cheese, some crackers, and some of the chocolate cake my sister sent me for Valentine's Day! 

I finished every drop of the 750ml bottle of wine, and got myself happily drunk. I felt great, sent a text to somebody I wouldn't have if I were sober, had a fun conversation with a friend, fell asleep in my dress, and committed the terrible crime of not washing off my make-up!! My skin paid the consequences. Stupid.

Yeah, it's called living.
