Greetings from Kyoto!

Didn`t get a chance to post before I left Oz but am curently in my ryokan in Kyoto. Been here 2 days and am finally getting used to the cold. Arrived Sat night in Osaka then went to USJ with Fi and her group. Had cierra_james join us last night and we`re now in Kyoto. Spending our night in a pretty ryokan with tatami mats in our room. My first experience with tatami and futons tonight. It should be awesome.

Haven`t really been taking as many photos as I would like, since it`s cold and most of the time I have my hands in my pockets and I`m huddling for warmth. But I should pick up a bit now that I`m getting used to the weather. It`s also meant to be warming up in the next few days.

Heading up to Tokyo tomorrow which is a relief cuz I wont have to haul my suitcase around anymore, although I wish we had more time to sightsee in Kyoto. I really like this city. It may turn out that I like Osaka and Kyoto a tad more than Tokyo.

Gotta run, this laptop in the lobby isn`t the best and I can`t use it for long. Hopefully a post with more substance once I get to Tokyo.

Take care everyone!

♥ Had a wonderful evening tonight/last night. :D Went to the Twilight Supper Market with Fi, maiaki, surealistic_des, and Mel. It was a lot smaller than expected but had some of the best empanadas I've ever eaten so it was worth it. We also had cake which was a bonus. :) The weather has been really warm and pleasant so being a Friday night and nearing only 9pm when we were done at the market, we decided to head down to the beach. By the time we got down to St. Kilda beach there was a lightning storm going on the horizon and it was so pretty. Watched that for an hour before we realised the storm had made to it where we were so we started heading back to the car. Lol if only we had started walking back 10mins earlier. Made it halfway before rain came down in sheets so we took shelter under the awning of a public toilet. Despite getting thoroughly drenched (well I did, mostly cuz I couldn't run in my flipflops), I had heaps of fun. It wasn't cold or anything, just wet. The lightning was amazing. <3 I hope I don't get sick though...

♥ Things are being finalised and I will be booking flights to Japan this Sunday for January. Will be going with breakfast_kiss and will be meeting cierra_james & lveaddkt there. Not to mention Fi and 4 of her friends. I'm very excited.

♥ Ahh fallen behind again with everyone's entries. Not to mention fandom. Really need to cut down on what I read on my flist. Will try to catch up on this weekend, I hope. Also, amakoi has reminded me that I will need to post a Christmas Card announcement soon. I'm really looking forward to making up for last years lack of cards. They'll even be handmade this year. Got tons of ideas and have actually already started a few. Haha omg one of the very few rare times where I don't do things last minute.

♥ Oh! I just realised I haven't mentioned here that I've got a job! Only a Chrissie casual possie but I'm rapt! I need the extra income for some extra spending money for Japan, especially after plans changed and I need to expand my budget a bit. (Domestic flights there are so expensive :S)

♥ As I said, I'm very behind on fandom. Have seen none of this season's dramas yet. Does anyone have suggestions? I don't know what to try first. The only thing I've seen is K8's new PV, which freaked the hell out of me; and Pi's new PV. Which I LOVE. IT'S SO FRIKKEN PRETTY. Even being so detached to fandom lately, watching that made me go doki-doki. Pi's so gorgeous. LOVE the parts where he's in the white shirt. LOVE how it was filmed in New York. I don't know what I was squealing about more at one point: Pi or NY. It was like: 'OMG Pi's so pretty! OMG Grand Central!' Haha yeah, been on a US high lately. Wanna go to the States so badly.

- Ok things getting way long and if it gets any longer, I'll have to cut it, though I'm not sure where. Will leave it at that. Oh, I also decided to f-lock my RL entries which have semi-private info... but not sure what the differentiating line is. So I will randomly lock when I feel like it I think. xD Last thing: will also be doing NaBloPoMo this year. Expect the flood in November. Good luck to anyone doing NaNoWriMo.

It's currently REALLY windy and I can hear things getting blown around outside. Majorly scary. I hope there isn't too much damage, it's Hard Waste collection next week so there's tons of stuff lying out on nature strips.

This will probably be my last entry for a while. I'm having trouble setting up internet at the new place. Apparently it's a pretty new area so there aren't any cable lines up there, so I can't get cable or ADSL2+. I have to settle with ADSL. Not sure what the speeds like but I have no choice. I'm looking at plans with different companies and will probably have it set up in about 2 weeks or so. So unfortunately, I can't start Project 365 no matter how much I want to. I may take a photo a day anyway, but I won't have any way to post them. The net here at the old house will be disconnected on Monday. I'm downloading like crazy to use up my bandwidth, and to help me pass boredom at the new place. :)

So this is my last night here at this house. It's been a good 12 years and I'll definitely miss it. It may take awhile for me to get used to the new place. But I plan to make this move a beginning of many things. So here's to brand new beginnings.

I'll catch you guys when I get the net up and running at the new place! Take care. ♥

♫ Saw my new house for the first time today! I'm very excited. It's lovely and I quite like it. Had you asked me a couple of months ago, I probably would've picked it apart but I'm focusing on all the positive stuff and what can be done to help/improve aspects rather than complain. It goes for a more pleasant frame of mind. ♥

♫ The house sits on a hill and is the first house on the block on a no through road street. Which makes for some pretty limited parking. The house is about 7-8 years old but it look quite new inside with relatively new carpet and tiled floorings. The outside of the house was originally white but due to weather, it's quite dirty. I asked mum if there was anyway we could clean it, and she mentioned spraying, but I think that's a bit of a waste on something not too important. The neighbourhood is nice, though I feel out of place as we're surrounded by HUGE houses of 2-3 stories. It's very quite and peaceful but can seem a little -too- quiet and just downright eerie. Our backyard opens to open land which the Army Defence Base owns. The river is only a block away. It's very promising for making future memories. :)

( small showcase of my fav bits of the house, with photos! :) )

♫ Still tons of stuff to do, the house needs quite a bit of work, so it's gonna be a busy fortnight. One other thing before I go, I decided that I shall be taking on Project 365 this coming January. I know it's still really early, but I think I'd rather start at the beginning of the year for that particular project. But I shall do a test drive in a certain month something later this year. :D

10th attempt to write up a post in the last 2 weeks. I'm sleepy and tired and just downright not functioning, so the post will just be dot points.

► Was meant to come off hiatus earlier this month, but it didn't happen and now I'm leaving for Malaysia tomorrow night, so further prolonged hiatus. I will try to post when I can from Malaysia and will after, but posts will be sparse even after I return since I will be moving house as well.

► Having said that, I want to say that once I'm back on LJ, my journal will get a revamp. I've faded quite a bit from the JE fandom in recent months, and while I'll never leave it, my views of it have changed a lot, and I'm not as -fangirly- about it anymore. Still slightly, just not as much. My journal will change from a fandom based one to one thats more mixed: personal, photography, hobby, various fandoms. I have a few ideas atm. Feel free to defriend me if you think that's not what you'd like to see. No hard feelings.

► I apologise to everyone whose comments I have not gotten back to. So very very sorry. I don't even have an excuse except laziness after bandwidth reset. himehikari: So sorry I couldn't get back to you, but I'd love to meet up if you have the time. Though, I found out that we're only in KL on the weekend (18th & 19th) and then again on the 26th. We're traveling out of KL on all the other days. If you're free, let me know, and I shall PM/email my mobile number and see if we can organise something.

► More than counting down for Malaysia, I'm counting down to Harry Potter. Will be catching it in the Genting Highlands, the 2nd day we're in Malaysia. Can't wait. ♥

► Hope everyone is doing well, I miss you guys and hope to talk to you all again properly after my trip. Gonna go conk out now, so many things still to do tomorrow.

NEGATIVE!

I'm SO relieved. Like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I tested negative for Swine AND Avian flu. xD Lol I didn't even know they tested me for that. So I'm just loaded down with the normal seasonal flu. What bad timing for that though, and how coincidental that a bunch of people I know got sick at the exact same time. :S I'm feeling a lot better now (well enough for short trips out of the house, I was going a little crazy in quarantine) but my cough has not gotten better. I managed to finish a bottle of the strongest over-the-counter cough medicine in a week with not much improvement and much loss of sleep so I had the doc prescribe me something stronger. He's given me codeine. Phwoar gonna be out like a light tonight.

Anyways, thank you SO much for everyone's support and wonderful wishes and positive thoughts, you guys really helped me through this. So much love guys. ♥

And from this post, I shall fall back into my (semi) hiatus. I'm expecting things to get a little busy once I get better. I'm gonna have Centrelink commitments, then Malaysia in July (don't worry, I shall blog about that), and then I'm moving house. I will most likely be posting lots between Malaysia and moving house cuz I want to throw decorating ideas etc around plus will have some sale posts to sell off mags/manga/cds/con goods etc.

Estimated end of hiatus: End of June. :D See you guys then. Love you all. ♥

♥ Thank you for everyone's birthday wishes so far on LJ, FB, txt, twitter. It's definitely made my day brighter. I shall get back to all individual msgs a little later. I initially wanted to be as low key as possible (ie not do anything at all for my birthday) but well decided it safer to do something tame and had some semblance of control over it. Last night, maiaki, lveaddkt, surealistic_des, cierra_james, breakfast_kiss, melbhghsku, asagao_blossoms, J, B, D and K all joined me for dinner in the city. mparf, I hope you're feeling better! Somehow we managed to get a last minute karaoke room for two hours and then a bunch of us ended up at cierra_james's house. Thanks for having us James! :D Thanks guys I had tons of fun. ♥ <33 I shall probably have some photos up late tonight. I've got the little cousins over to hang out today, then dinner with the family in the evening.

ETA: Forgot to mention, thanks so much to hitomito for the v-gift! ♥

*sighs* 23. I've told a few friends lately that I've been having problems remembering my age. I've had to literally think of my birth year then this year and work it out from there. ^^; Feel kinda out of it because of that. I don't feel much different. Anyone wanna tell me what I should expect from my 23rd year? xD

I hope this year's a good year. At least, I plan to do my best to make it a good year. ♥

♥ I have only watched the 3 Eito PVs once through but I absolutely love all 3 songs. But Glorious is probably my hands down favourite. I'm feeling so much love right now. Even though I don't understand half of their english. xD One question though, why aren't the three PV songs on the album?!

That's all I wanted to say for now. The post I promised is still coming. More detailed thoughts in there. I'm gonna go settle down and listen to the actual album now. ^_^

Happy Easter people! ♥
(I haven't had a single bit of chocolate all weekend. D: I'm craving some, but there's no where open for me to run out to get some.)

Lol I can't stop thinking "CUTE!!" when watching the preview to NEWS' Koi no ABO PV. Can't wait til the PV is released. The dance moves make me XD ♥ Love 'em.
ETA: Just listened to the full Koi no ABO rip from Recommen and I wasn't paying much attention until I suddenly went O.O OMFG TEGOSHI! Such a voice. <3 It's a catchy song. Despite the weird subject. ^^;

Woke to huge claps of thunder and lightning and torrential rain this morning. Haven't had such a big thunderstorm in Melbourne in ages. Feeling like Melbourne getting even more out of whack. First earthquakes now torrential thunderstorms? Strange. I'm not complaining bout the storms though, just wondering. We need all the rain we can get and I love watching storms.

*sighs* Off to do my mountain load of chores before meeting maiaki, lveaddkt and surealistic_des in the city for tea.
