Inactivity Strikes!

I just can't keep up in the blogosphere right now! I'm not really that busy either so there is no excuse! I recently celebrated my 17th birthday, in which I had my good friend Brendon over for birthday fun and Chinese-style nommies. We played a lot of video games o.o
I also did a cosplay photoshoot with my friend Zoe, in my Remilia Ver.2 cosplay. I had A LOT of fun doing that and playing with different poses. I hope to have her photograph me again in my Cirno cosplay. She's a brilliant photographer and apparently, I'm very photogenic. Here's one of the shots from the shoot.

I love this shot ^^ It shows off my nice new wings.

Based on this pose.

Due to the disappearance of Riku and my mom not wanting me to be lonely, I was given a small bundle of joy called Miu. Here's a photo of her, snapped by Dave:

Sleepy Neko-chan <3

I am also preparing and organising a cosplay picnic meet up for next week! It's going to be so fantastic!!

I've set up a Tumblr account now, which I will post on when I'm not posting on here. Go there for lots of cute and interesting stuffs!

Psst - Check out this Tsubasa-themed giveaway over at Finding Tokyo! Some cute nail stuffs up for grabs, including a bottle of Tsubasa's new Dolly Wink nail polish! =O

光を〜

It's been so warm and sunny in the land of tea and crumpets these past few days! I hope my lovely British readers have been out in the sun like I have.
Yesterday I went out with my good friend Dave and ended up sitting in a park for nearly 3 hours just chatting and we bumped into my friends Zoe and Mark. It was lovely. We were discussing how I say some words differently because of my slight American accent. It ended up in us just making lots of silly noises. I also practiced my Japanese by attempting to read a copy of Newtype magazine. I could actually read some of it! やった！
I'm slowly getting used to using what Japanese I do know around my home, for more practice. For those who want to know, I'm self-learning Japanese at the moment, using a Nintendo DS software called "My Japanese Coach". It's actually very helpful! It teaches you how to form sentences and all the hiragana and katakana characters. With those, you can write pretty much any Japanese word and if you do it on a computer, normally it will correct it with the correct kanji. Take the word "hikari" for example, which means "light". Writing it in romaji would be "hikari", in hiragana it would be "ひかり", but the kanji for it is "光". Confusing, yet simple.
I also use a phrase book along side the DS software and I made some flash cards with all of the hiragana and katakana characters on them, for daily practice.
I find it easier to listen to Japanese than to read it. I'm currently listening to drama CDs, to aid my learning. I managed to pick up the CDs to one of my favourite anime called "Clannad". It's so nice but it's really sad at some points!
Anyway, I'm rambling, haha.
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend! Get out in that sunshine!!

Over and out! ;D
