silver, gold, black peacock design

 I admit it, I'm absolutely terrible with the peacock design! I find it almost impossible to create a pretty peacock design before the polish starts drying up! I spent close to 2 hours practicing this and trying to keep my hand steady!
 Frustrating, and a huge pain in the neck!
 Hope all this pays off!

Oh, and don't you just land my practice hand?

rakuten shopping


38640 yen for this. More work/study space, and place to put all my nail art stuff! Just perfect!

AGAIN!

Happened AGAIN!! 
I like to window shop when I have a gap between classes, and Kinshicho's 'Termina' is the best place for that. So there I was, just browsing my favorite stores and admiring the bright spring colors, when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to find out who the tapping hand belonged to, and an old man is in front of me.  
 'Read this later when you have time.' and walks off, leaving me with a note. 
A long forgotten memory of two years ago instantly springs to mind, and I have a general idea of what's written on the note. I quickly glance and browse the messy hand written note, and my fears were confirmed.

The note states his age, (61), that he has his own company, and is wondering if I would be interested in replacing one of his companions--who isn't around due to her family business-- for about 400~500 thousand yen a month, once a week! The note ends with his number and 'I hope to hear from you soon!'

It's gotta be the same guy from two years back. I think I recognize the paper, the general way he approached me, and the expensive way he dressed.
 Yeah, same guy. 

*rolls eyes*

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!

What a lovely Birthday present! Thanks, Aich!




something different

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