ただいま~

I have safely arrived in Tokyo!

After many....many....mishaps, and getting pathetically lost in the Narita Airport, I arrived at my hotel late last night. It feels so natural to be back here. I really feel as if I came home~


As for my hotel, I am very pleased. It's small, but really very comfortable, and has a lovely view of Tokyo Tower! Too bad I won't be here very much ^o^


My comfortable room



Well, today I am meeting up with my favorite person in Shinjuku, and paying a visit to 0101~ I've got to get some new Moitie gear for Deep Sanctuary tomorrow ^_~ 

I will try to post new photos and stories soon! Until then, じゃあね!







The lovely view~

The Time Has Come

After a truly busy few days, I am finally able to say that I am all packed and ready for Japan!

 I have a shameful habit of procrastinating, and putting absolutely everything off until the last possible moment...This always leaves me very stressed and exhausted before a trip. It is my own fault, though! I wonder, will I ever learn my lesson? Thankfully, I was finally able to focus, and everything fell perfectly into place. ^o^ All that is left for me to do, is wait for the morning to come!


Thankfully, I will have access to the internet during my stay, so I will most definitely be posting some interesting photos and stories within the next few days! If anyone would be interested in seeing such things, I will most likely be posting the majority of it on my tumblr... Not that anyone reads this...Oh, dear, I'm getting ahead of myself  (*/∇\*)


Well, since tomorrow will be an early day, perhaps it would be wise to get some rest. I fear that I may be too excited to sleep, though! Now that I think about it, I suppose there will be plenty of time for some shut eye on my 11 hour flight tomorrow.....Perhaps I will spend my night saying a proper farewell to Mr. Internet~


By this time tomorrow, I will be writing from a very different place!

Until then, farewell~  (ノ´∀`*)ノ

It's Almost Time.....

As August slowly draws to a close, I find myself busier than ever... This has truly been a very meaningful month.

After much debate and countless hours spent weighing my options, I have come to a decision to change my place of residence. Hopefully, I have made the right choice.


But, before the 800 mile move can take place, I have an exciting trip coming up! In a mere seven days, I will find myself on a long (and terrifying) plane ride to Tokyo~


This will only be my second time traveling to Japan, so I am very excited to get there and enjoy the sights, sounds, shopping, and of course, the food! It has been a year since my last visit, yet I still vividly remember every tantalizing flavor that graced my eager taste buds~  Ahh...Japan, please feed my senses once more!


However, the thing I am most looking forward to, is attending Deep Sanctuary III!  I promised myself some time ago, that my first live in Japan would be Moi dix Mois. I am looking forward to making this dream of mine a reality...


Well, there is much to do before everything kicks off! Mainly, packing up my apartment, and deciding what on earth I will wear to Deep Sanctuary.....


  Time to get to work!

Success!

The Curiosity Rover has landed on Mars!

I got home just in time to watch the live footage of this event, and how exciting it was!

When I first learned about this mission, I was very intrigued! I find science, space, and Mars terribly fascinating, so I simply couldn't miss out on this event!

The landing process was so very intricate, and the possibility of complications and failure was very real!
Incredibly, everything went according to plan, and I am left feeling thoroughly impressed and satisfied.

Now, the real fun can start, and we can begin the process of learning more about this mysterious planet.


Mars, please share your secrets!

A trip to the stars!



Today, I watched the movie 'Contact'.

Unfortunately, by the time I was actually able to focus all of my attention on it, the movie was halfway over...

The ending sure was exciting and spectacular, so I'm happy that I was able to see the best scenes!



I have been very interested in space and aliens since I was a young child. It might have something to do with being born in a certain small town that is quite famous for these things... This town even has its own alien museum! How exciting it was!

 I have always wanted to visit the stars...to see how our planet looks from an outside view....and perhaps have a chat with an alien~  I seriously considered becoming an astronaut!

However......  I'm nervous of flying, and am prone to motion sickness.....meaning that a journey to space would be particularly frightening! (and messy...)


*sigh*


I suppose my dream will never become a reality.


I'll just stick to watching scifi films and staring longingly at the night sky.

2012....Why so cruel?

Ah, so many unhappy things keep happening....

2012 has surely been my worst year yet.

I can't help but think about December, and the possible end of this world.

If it is true, then I would have spent my final year on this earth feeling, looking, and acting so miserable....

This is my greatest fear.

The Light Will Be Together With Us



                                              Well, I think it's about time to gush over Reprise

   
      This album has been on repeat ever since it's arrival, allowing me to really absorb the music, and observe the subtle changes and improvements to the songs... And my conclusion....

                                                                 I couldn't be happier!

      I don't think I quite knew what to expect from this release..... Though, I was quite curious to hear Seth sing these classic song, so I found myself eagerly awaiting it's arrival.


      As soon as  En Lumière began to play, my heart swelled with excitement and love! After only a few seconds into the first song, I knew that this release would not disappoint! 


      As the album progressed, I fell deeper in love and happiness, and had to force myself not to sing along so that I could hear the songs~


                          It was very refreshing to hear these wonderful songs come to life in new ways!


      While I love every song on Reprise, Solitude and Je L'aime had me reduced to a puddle of happy tears~
I simply couldn't hold in my emotions when Solitude (a song very precious to me) began to play. I don't believe that I have ever cried over something like this...and I'm sure it may sound foolish that a mere song could produce tears, but this album really had that effect on me....


       And Je L'aime....ah..... I did hear this song once before at Sakura Con, but I was simply too excited to be watching Moi dix Mois on stage, that I didn't get to appreciate it properly! I'm so happy that now, I am able to listen to it anytime I wish.  This song just spoke to me in a deep way. After listening through it only once, I was somehow able to remember the lyrics, and began to sing along. And now, it seems as if I cannot get the lovely tune out of my mind! (Though, I wouldn't consider this a problem)  It is impossible for me to feel any pain or sadness when I hear this song. I know that Je L'aime will be very, very dear to me from this moment on.


        After receiving Reprise,  I find myself growing even more attached (If that's even possible!) to Mana, and the lovely world that he creates. I ended up sending him a long letter, expressing my feelings, and my gratitude towards him and this release. All in all, I wouldn't change or wish for anything different in Reprise.


                                                                       It's perfect.
