104. the sound of settling, itabashi

Today was a productive day, I got up early - had a nice warm cup of coffee, did my laundry, cleaned my place (I'm actually a clean freak), went to the market and decorated my room. Now I'm feeling more at "home", if that is the right word for it?

I really like this area, here in itabashi. It's nice and quiet, and there's a ton of food stores near my place, just a 10 minute walk. It's still kinda foreign to me of course, but so far, I'm really liking it. Oh, and my neighbor is an old couple. The obaa-chan is so cute and she has a fat tabby cat that sits just outside my window. ^^

my desk area <3 

my bed and erm my laundry outside, haha.

the view from my room.

I think this house grows vegetables. 

I wanted to take photos of the market area but it's so crowded and people would think I'm weird since it's a residential area right?

Yesterday I met up with Yuri for dinner! I didn't know they had a Genki Sushi joint in Shibuya! My dad does business with them and I went to their main office in Utsunomiya, so it was funny to finally go to one in Japan. After that, we had dessert at Silkream <3 Still my favorite cafe but I can't have it everyday or I'll be broke... 

We walked around Shibuya for a bit and went to Harajuku on foot! I didn't know you could walk to Harajuku from Shibuya. Everyday I'm learning something new. We went shopping for a bit but most of the stores I wanted to see were already closing, so we decided to walk around Cat Street (back alley of Harajuku), it was nice because it wasn't crowded and it was more fun than I expected it to be. Yuri was taking photos of the graffiti and I'm glad she took a video os us roaming around. Nowadays, I'm just too lazy to even take photos of Tokyo anymore since I've been here so many times. I always take retarded pictures of band logos and such. Haha.

We left Harajuku at about 9 and separated ways at Shibuya. We're planning to go to so many gigs but our bands are not cooperating with us, their schedules are clashing and it's pissing us off. But well, I'm still counting down to Freaks Addict tour Beyond! Hopefully we'll make it to Nagoya to see  DEATHGAZE and EAT YOU ALIVE! *fingers crossed*

103.暁 , tokyo

I've finally settled in my apartment. I'm actually really cosy sitting on my bed writing now. All I have left now is not to leave my walls empty, because if they are I probably would't draw. I'm just like that. So when I have time, I'll put up my lynch. stuff and hang the GazettE poster... I'm not intending to bring it home. I finally got AFI's Burials and the new GazettE album, Beautiful Deformity!! I'm so happy I have new music to listen to.

My week has been so bad but at least it's Sunday already! So I can start next week afresh.

Earlier in the week, I was in Utsunomiya which is in Tochigi to meet up with my dad. His business meetings were there. Other than having pretty good food and really nice gyoza, it's a really really small town and it becomes a ghost town after 8pm. So it was boring. I arrived in Tokyo on Tuesday and from there it was hell but thankfully on Friday I met up with Yuri!

We were planning to do a lot of stuff but everything didn't turn out too well. But honestly, I still had so much fun with her because now we can laugh at how pathetic our day was. Haha. After putting down my stuff at my place, we rushed off to Shinjuku Urga hoping to catch EAT YOU ALIVE.

When we arrived they were only left with 10 minutes on stage. I was so pissed off. I really wanted to see them because my week has been soooo bad. In my mind I was like "Fuck it, I'm just gonna pay and at least see them." I really didn't want to pay but argh, I was just so mad I didn't think. But in the end, I think both of us had fun in a way and at least Ryohei was hot that day, hahahaa. They played Coke in a vein and Clockwise! At least I'm gonna see them two more times before they disband.

After EAT YOU ALIVE, we hung around the live house and got drinks. I didn't realize how fast I was drinking to be honest. I feel as if I was trying to drown my sorrow or something. So Tokyo Heroes came on and erm... we weren't feeling the music and left. 

It was raining so hard because of the typhoon that was coming. See, I told you bad week, bad week. Then we finally arrived in Shibuya and went to an izakaya and chilled there for a little bit. After eating, we decided to find the rock bar which took about an hour because of the damn rain! If it wasn't raining, I think we would have found it easier. -__- 

And the worst part was the bar didn't even play good songs. It's like 1 good song out of every 10 songs. Since... they decided to play pop music. One thing I hate more than pop music is Japanese pop music. So you can only feel my pain. At least, they played coldrain, Pay Money to My Pain, SiM, Man with a mission and a few okay songs, but I got bored and we left to find shelter in Starbucks and were just talking until it closed at 3.30am and we moved to Mcdonalds until 5am to get on the first train. She decided we should take Purikura to commemorate our shitty day. I don't think I'll ever take Purikura at 5am ever again. Hahaha.

I stayed at Yuri's place till the late afternoon because I forgot the code number of my door. -__- I was so angry with myself because I didn't want to bother her and I just wanted to bathe and sleep! But in the end, I'm happy I was with her because we could talk forever and it made me feel better than being alone. So I'm really happy she's here. I can't imagine if I was alone the entire time. T___T

I finally got home at about 7pm, and settled down. I feel so much better now that I've finally moved in. I still don't know the area too well so I think I should go walk around, anyways, there's some chores I need to do. I hope next week will be much better since we already planned to do things :)

and it is so much easier to take this photo at 3am because no one is fucking hogging the place. -_-
