Hello everyone! WOW. It sure has been a long time since I posted here. I've been super busy! As always. Like I said, I don't want to get rid of the blog, but I also won't be posting frequently, because...well...this is why hehe. That's why I do vlogs more. I don't exactly film EVERYTHING, but if you haven't yet, fill free to check out my YouTube channel (here). There's so much to talk about, but I'll only give a quick summary.
This year has been crazy. Especially during April and May because there was a huge mess at work that came at us out of nowhere and I had to help clean it up. It wasn't necessarily a "bad" thing, but I was so stressed out because I had a lot of jobs coming at me all at once. I'm finally getting used to the routine, so it's at a good pace now. And during that time I got a kitten who I named Kuromi! I'm so happy. People ask me, why another black cat? Well, I love black cats! They say they're bad luck, but in my eyes, they're not. Plus when I got her at the event, she was the most popular kitten there among her siblings. It's interesting, because she was the only black kitten in the bunch, so she really stood out. It's like I have a child now. It's definitely teaching me more responsibility. But really, I have my friends to thank. When I'm not around, they always take such good care of her. Right now she is almost 6 months old and next month she will most likely be getting fixed. I feel bad doing so, but the vet said that it's best she does or she could pick up a lot of illnesses and it'll be tough later. Plus it will extend her lifespan. We will see how that goes. If you're interested, you can follow her journey in my vlogs or even on her Instagram page (here)!
Speaking of busy, work has been great! The team and I are also working on some projects/other jobs on the side, most of what I'm keeping secret and hope to share with you all in the near future. Even though I'm busy, I don't let work stop me from going to the gym and doing other activities such as getting back into dance. I'm also starting to run every night. The gym I go to; the running machines are all broken due to an accident that happened to three people! THREE PEOPLE (including one of our students). After that, I'm terrified to get on them, so running at night is its replacement. Keeping active helps me relieve stress and though I'm so exhausted, it feels so good when it's accomplished! I can't just sit around the whole time, I need to keep my mind and body moving. Oh! Not to mention, I got an image change. I felt I needed it after Obon vacation. I was thinking of cutting my hair short at first, but it took 2 years to get it as long as it is now so it would have been a shame to start all over. I don't know what I was thinking, but I suddenly had the urge to get bangs again and I did. There are days where it looks good, but there are other days where it looks horrible! I guess I'm just not fully used to it yet.
In November, I'm going to have a little getaway from Kobe and most likely going to Okinawa. At least I'm hoping, but it pretty much sounds official. Reason why, is because my cousin is getting married! She also had a baby boy who I haven't met yet, but dying to meet! Her and her boyfriend have been trying to arrange their wedding date for years. Due to a lot of incidents happening during the years, they had to hold back the wedding countless times. But now it's official and they invited me to come. I really wanted my mom to come too, but I'm afraid she won't be able to come to Japan this year. It's been two years since I last went to Okinawa. I'm really excited to see my relatives again.
Let's talk about vlogs! I know I've been a little behind on them (not going to try rushing anymore), but like I said, it's been busy and it'll be busy for quite some time. I'm trying to work on vlogs little by little each night, depending if I'm not too tired. I really enjoy vlogging! It's just been hard to vlog, especially since there hasn't been much to vlog. That's why I'm doing a lot of random rewinds from my old vlogs. Recently it's been a lot of traveling/scenery. During and after Obon vacation, it's been very eventful! In a good way. What you see in the recent vlogs doesn't even sum up everything that had been happening. I've been trying to do face-to-face vlogging, but that's hard too! Especially when I don't get exactly have enough time and I don't know if it's even facing me LOL. Which brings me to getting a new camera, one that you can see yourself while filming (but so expensive). That won't be for quite sometime. I want to use the camera I'm using now until it gives out. It's very special to me, because my mom gave it to me as a birthday present 4 years ago when I told her I wanted to film again. Thanks to her, I have a camera to vlog with!
On a last note: My birthday is next month! No idea what's planned for me, I don't really care for it anymore haha but I feel my friends are still going to do something. What I'm looking forward to is HALLOWEEN!
I guess that's about it so far. I feel there's so much more to talk about but I don't even know where to begin. If I feel there's something missing, I'll add it in later. But that's all the time I have today. Hope you all are having an amazing week! Until next time.
