This is becoming a tradition. Sorry again, guys. xD

Umm, I haven't written for SO long that there would be FAR TOO MUCH to write.. u.u;
So I7m just gonna show you the unshowed pictures I have and comment a little on them~

Well I'll starts as far back as I have pictures... Which would mean; THE WPORTSFESTIVAL.

This is almost all the second years in Igumi (My team) <3

Um, everyone who participated in "Boujou" a quite complicated but interesting seme-mamoru fight~ (take that however you want to) We won ;D Thanks to me ;D

These are the points for the teams. When the winner was announced. Now if I tell u that Igumis colour is white you can probably tell which team won ;D

Afterwards we went to celebrate <3 We ate yakiniku in some cool place ^^ We were around 30 persons I think~

Me and Perii <3



This is me, Amanda and Mirka in Osaka~ A loong time ago. I think we're in Kyoubashi there.. Yeah because it was just ebfore we went back home xD

And this is the reita cosplay and some random person we saw in the "ernupurikurapaikkan"
(Though after 21.7 i dont find seing a reitacosplay very special anymore...)

Me and Perii the day after that. We went to watch pirates of the Carribean.

Then I went to that Kera Teaparty~ And became friends with this Mayumi girl~




On Jenny's 18th birthday we went bowling and these are a few of the people who were there~


Me and Amanda one of all times in Osaka... I think this might be.. eeto.. like.. 2 weeks back..? Yeah.. it's got to be that.

Purikura from the same day~


And this is me and Jennifer from US. We hanged out.. last wednesday.. Watched Harry Potter.


On Friday I went to Karaoke with Maichan and the guy from Canada who's been thyere over the summer. He's leaving next week. But so is Maichan. She's going to America through YFU D': So we had a last karaoke ;__; But it was SO MUCH FUN!

purikura....

AND NOW THEN 8D!
Yesterday!
28.7
LIIVE~
Was so much fun. And Ayabie Aoi's pants fell down. X'D He was so cute trying to get them up again... He had some short skirt on top of them so it's not like yeah.. But he didn't really try hiding his underwear after he finally pulled the broken pants off.... yeah.. *sweatdrop*
And love for Drowning! *blubbblubbblubb*

But what I was gonna say was yeah xD I got new glasses a while back~! And now I've actually finally started using them 8D and I changed my hairstyle~ I look kinda different~ X'D
So umm. 2 pics from yesterday:

Taken in a toilet at the Kyoubashi JR station.. xD Jennifer demanded that I would send her a pic so.. so.. yeah. Since my hair kinda changed on thursday and friday :'D

Mirka took this one one the stairs outside Namba Hatcj while we waited for our turn to go in XD

Japanese concerts are.. VERY DIFFERENT... Even with standing places you have a number and you go in in that order.... x'D But then they don't even rush to the front and stuff... We came in almost last but got like supergood places really in the front.. like fourth or fifth row first.. and exactly in the middle..~ And when Mix speakers Inc came and We had seen AYA live.. (jump in on the stage) we sighed, shook our heads and walked out to get some drinks. After that it was just to walk back in! And we got even better places then! So when Ayabie played we were like... half in the second row and half in the third xD

And you know.. 3 blong tall heads sticking up above the japanese ones in the MIDDLE of the pit.. umm.. umm.. basically ALL bands stared straight at us MANY times. <3

Well yeah. Gazette on Friday <3! Cant wait! If i never write anything here anymore you know its because:
1) I fainted when I saw them and no one took care of me.
2) I got such a nosebleed from seing Reita that i bled to death. or
3) My body dried when I drooled too much.

byebye~

ごめんなさい、おそいから！

Yeah, I'm really sorry I haven't updated for so long. It's just that I dont have that much time. The little time I have to go to the computer I usually use talking to people on MSN or something. But I thought that I have to write a lttle! And I will try to continue with it every once in a while. Especially if something big happens!
This time I will have lots of pictures for you!
First a point, darlings. I thought you knew it. My school isn't a typical Japanese school. It's a christian all-girls private school WITHOUT SCHOOLUNIFORMS. The only unifroms we have are PEuniforms. And schoolshoes. Plus a small badge we are supposed to wear everyday but noone actually wears it...

Then I've been thinking about a few nice points on Japanese daily life I thought you might find funny or interesting~

~They dub EVERY DAMN MOVIE. I DIED WHEN I HEARD JACK SPARROW IN JAPANESE.
~They don't sell sunlotion. I'm starting to look like a .. kokt krefta? xD
~They actually DO PUSH PEOPLE IN TO TRAINS in the mornings.
~They hide what they read with extra covers.
~We know more about their subcultures than they do. "Gosurori...? naani sore..?"
~Everyone knows Gackt but noone knows about his music. "YOU LIKE GACKT!!!!! what songs did he do again..?"
~Arashi is extremely popular. they are everywhere. Seriously. I can find MatsuJun in every second train I board.
~I certain Nakama Yukie (yankumi) is even more popular though. She is 3 times in EVERY train. Does commercials for EVERY thing you can think of. It's kinda freaking me out to see Yankumi staring at me everywhere.
~They eat potato with rice.

That's all I can remember right now...

Well then. On to the more maybe I dont't know stuff.
Well umm.. first the oldest pictures~



Karaokeee!!!! On top it's me and Olivia and down here it's me and Jenny from Germany.

On saturday we had a Bazaar in school. Looots of people and we were selling stuff and so on~~ I sold juice for a little over an hour with the calligraphy club. Which btw is the club i joined. Quite interesting, i like kanjis and I like art. Perfect.

Me beside the juicestand~

When we got tired we went to the classroom~ That's Kuro-san, Shou-chan, Yukko and Mai-chan.

And the other day, (sunday 27th) I went to Sannomiya in Kobe (where all the great lolishops are) to a KERAphotoshooting and I might be in the next issue~ They had the model G-chan there~~ There were sooo many cool people!

That's me and G-chan. She was kinda short. I had problems fitting in to the picture...

Tadah~ My Metamorphose member's caaard~~

Not liek that matters very much~ Well, today i took some pictures in school! Let's look at them~!

That's the high school building. one of the around 20 large buildings found on the campus. Laaarge school. And rich.

The lockerroom is messy~~

Library where I spend my studyhours~ That's Maria, the other exchangestudent. She's from Chile.

Me and Maichan eating bentou~

Maichan and Shouchan~ <3 My best friends~ <3

The-girl-whose-name-i-dont-remember, Maria and Perii. We're making roses for our Gakupadresses. Gakupa stands for "gakunen paafoomansu" which is a kind of cheerleadingdance with pompoms that everyone in the same grade does together. The performance is next weeks Tuesday on the Sportsfestival. It's really fun actually :D We have one orange pompom and one silver and then the whole dance is made up by creating pictures above us by holding the pompoms up in different ways. And it's done to music~.

the-girl-whose-name...., Perii, me and Maichan in the Koubai. (Shop on the campus. We were buying Icecream~~) Perii is really fun btw! :D She likes streetfashion and VK and stuff :D The other day she took my Metamorphose-parasol and said "aah, yappari metamorufoosu suki naa?" ("apparently you like meta huh..?")

Oh and I have a Gazetteconcert planned into my calendar on the 21st or 22nd of July. Depending on which one suits better when we get closer~ and to which one tickets are avaible. They start selling them the 23rd of June.

And omg I'm waiting for Gackt's new single! RETURNER ~yami no shuuen~ X3 He'll be on Music Station with it and on the cover of Arena37~~
Though have you heard about SKIN? The "superband" got it's name and Miyavi was confirmed. They're gonna debute in USA on AnimeExpo the 29th of June. I really hope he'll be having conserts in Japan even though that. I wanna go to one damnit. SKIN will have conserts here from November but wanna go to a SOLOCONSERT.. ;__;

Well yeah. That's it for this time. Have a nice time darlings~ <3<3<3

*drums*

TUESDAY 2.4

I told you about me and Olivia going to takarazuka to meet those students and stuff, nee? Well the trainride went great and we had no problems. We met the students, teachers and other foreigners and had a great day. We visited the old temple in Takarazuka, an old merry-go-round and ONSEN! THAT was cool! (you know.. hot springs..)
At first we went to the temple.. Then we were the whole group but after that it was only me, olivia, a chinese woman, a teacher and SHUU-KUN X3 He was soo cute. One year younger than me though. But 2 cm taller xD!!


This is the WHOLE group at the temple.

And our group at the merry-go round. Isnt Shuu-kun cute? x3 We rode the merry-go-round. ^^ Its over 100 years old.

Olivia, Shuu-kun and me. Dont mind the stupid faces. xD We had problems with stopping ourselves from laughing like hell coz oomori-san (the teacher) kept on talking about "one flower in each hand"...

So... The same week but THURSDAY.
= Okaasans day off work.

Off to Takarazuka AGAIN xD. Well it IS only.. eto... 5 stations away.　I change trains there every day now. But this time to THE OSAMU TEZUKA MANGA MUSEUM.
So anyone remember who Osamu tezuka is...?

answer: Manga no Kamisama. = the god of manga. Hes the one who... How should i say it... He is extremely important in manga history. And Takarazuka is his hometown. He died in 1989 btw.
Well Im sure you know Astroboy... Buddha... Phoenix... METROPOLIS. And JUNGLE TAITEN. The original version of Lion King actually. About a small lion named "Kimba".
So yeah, ive seen his hat, his pens, his original sketches. Stuff like that. Quite cool actually.
Me and maokochan on the way to the museum.

Me and maoko outside the museum. In front of the Hi no Tori statue (Phoenix)

And then. the 6.4 I visited school.. Not much to say. Its me and a girl from Chile named maria... lets just jump to the whole subject.. SCHOOL.

SCHOOL.
Started on the 10.4 TUESDAY.
So yeah, 3 girls met me and maria at the station and walked to school... We had chapel and was presented in front of the whole school. Both Jr High and Sr High... And then picturetaking and bye-bye. Then maichan, Rinachan and Shouchan took me out for karaoke. I sang a few utada hikaru... Like Hikari and Flavour of Life... And then Gackt of course. x3
So the schooldays been going great. im hanging out with Maichan, Rinachan and Shouchan. I have japanese and kanji lessons with maria. Bu otherwise we are in different classes. Im in S2A and shes in S2B.
My schoolway is QUITE long. I leave home at 7, take the bus to shinsandastation. from there a JR train to Takarazuka. In Takarazuka i change to a Hankyu train that goes towards Nishinomiyakitaguchi and step off at Mondoyakujin.

Then. THIS WEEKEND.

I slept and Yumikosans... Okaasans friend, because okaasan went to visit some sick relative somewhere. And yesterday we went shopping to Kobe... And we.. we saw this really cute girl in completely white Loliclothes... and I sqealed and Yumikosan asked her "where the shops are". I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THERE ARE SHOPS IN KOBE!
Well yeah. There we went and Im now a proud owner of a Metamorphose skirt and cutsew. That place was a real paradise. There was a Baby, the stars shine bright shop, a metamorphose, an innocent World, Kerashop, BPN, BOZ... Everything. I loved it.

But a picture of my clothes later... I dont have time now. But theyre really cute!

A full, but very funny weekend.

Im gonna start from Friday.
On Friday evening we went bowling actually. Maokochan had been going on about it for so long that okaasan gave up. it was just me, Maoko and Okaasan. Dont ask me were Takashi were, i dont know. But it was really fun! The... lane? Is that what its called? had walls, since it was meant for children, so it was impossible to miss. I won the first game and Okaasan the second. But I had more overall points too. ;D After that one of Okaasans friends showed up. She was really nice but.. I dont remember her name. xD Okaasan has too many friends! We went eating with her and they chose a really sweet traditional yakitori place! Yakitori is like... yakiru is to...prepare something basically... you do it when you bake bread.. you do it with meat and whatever. That verd works for anything in the kitchen. But yeah, it was like.. BBQ chicken. With some extremely good special recipe yakitori sauce!
Yakitori is like.. a few pieces of some certain part of the chicken on a stick, drenched in sauce. The basic one, mi, is just.. normal chicken meat. then there is chicken liver (yuck), chicken neck (twas okay!), chicken skin (ehm), chicken wings (nyum) and lots of different things... and also pork with onion; "negipooku", and like.. green pepper and stuff. it was really good! And they ordered FRIED CHICKEN SKIN, and now to everyone who cant understand Tsukushis family in Hana Yori Dango, I can say that it IS actually delicious! 8D Its all crispy and crunchy!

So thats our table. With Maokochan, Okaasans friend and Okaasan. ^^

And me, posing with the jichan who owned the resaturant and made the food. Everyone was really cool there! they liked asked me from where I was and tried talking to me in English. i mean all the customers too! And then i heard two guys talking about Helsinki. xD But jichan was really sweet!

On saturday I went to some ballet concert with Olivia and her hostmum. We took the train to Itami, a part of Oosaka where the airport I flew to also is, and then a taxi to the place where the concert was. This is what me and Olivia spyed on the train 8D :

The picture is taken with my PHONE darlings...
At the concert Olivia was really hyped. she apparently loves ballet. Both me and Horisan (her hostmum)were falling asleep. xD But it didnt go on for that long, thank god. But we could laugh about it afterwards! X3 When we ate LOOOTS of deliscious newbaked bread in some Diamond City shopping center.

So thats Hori-san, Olivia and me at the bread place. It was called "Pompadour" xD
Then we just took the train back home and nothing happened before next day.

Which iiiiiis; PICNIC WITH OLIVIA xD
Dont ask me why... There arent even cherryblossoms yet... probably nest week. sanda is a quite cold city somehow. Even though i certainly dont think its cold!
We just decided that wed go buy some takeaway lunch, find some stupid place outside and eat. And then go and take purikura~~
o in Saty we found this shelf where you could pick ANYTHING and put it in a bentobok YOURSELF! We took everything from yakitori to tempura and sushi to Pocky. Then we walked to a park close to Midori and sat down on some thing beneath a roof, because it was raining slightly. We had really fun. we even tried eating 12 pockys at a time xD


Stupid galleria-style-picture of us during the picninc~~

Then we just kinda went to take the purikura and stuff. So nothing special to tell anymore... Here are some of our purikuras. The machines can send them to your phones and it was easy to email them to my gmail from there~~ LALALA~~ I just LOVE purikura x3 We actually did it two times! But only the newer one of the machines could mail them .___.



Oh! And tomorrow well go to Takarazuka by train, BY OURSELVES. theres some highschoolclub there whose activity is to "assosciate with foreigners" and theyre gonna take us to a lot of places. more info on that afterwards.

Hugs, Sandra

Oh yeah...

Forgot to mention that the phone costed 5￥ Since I was a first time customer there... And the account was cheap too because of a familycontract.　＾＾ But seriously.. 5￥!!!
