hey guys good afternoon and welcome to
my 34th birthday party at home in Japan
by myself not the ideal conditions for a
birthday party but I get to spend the
day with you guys and the weather is
absolutely beautiful outside I just got
home from a walk it could be a lot worse
so I'm not complaining I bought a whole
bunch of packages in the mail yesterday
and I've been saving them so I can open
them with you guys I got surprised with
this lovely bouquet of flowers from my
friend Michaela
thank you so much Michaela that was so
sweet of you to send that to me that was
such a nice surprise
it was just sitting in my post box when
I came back from my walk this morning
I've been trying to go for a walk every
morning while the weather is nice
because the Sakura are in full bloom at
the moment and the type of Sakura that
they have in Japan really only are in
full bloom for about a week depending on
the weather if a storm hits and it's
really windy or rainy one day they could
be gone overnight so I'm really trying
to get out there and enjoy the Sakura
while they're here for the very short
time that they're here and last year I
found this really beautiful spot down by
the river in Morioka so I made the trek
out there today to see if it looks just
as beautiful this year and it does so I
filmed a little clip for you guys so
enjoy this
[Music]
my balcony is looking really nice I'm so
glad I did that it has rained a few
times since I installed the flooring and
the furniture and it still looks
wonderful it dried and went back to how
it looked when I originally installed it
so it looks like it's pretty
weatherproof and it should be okay today
we are going to make some cocky gory
because when I showed you guys that I
had soy milk in my freezer so many of
you requested that we make some shaved
ice together using the swipe milk so we
will do that later that can be my my
birthday dessert and I actually found
the perfect thing when I was at the
store check this out
these are brand new two different
flavors these brand new madison's so it
looks that are actually for making
kakigori
like they're specifically designed for
that so they're the flavors that you
would normally see shaved ice come in so
this one is strawberry then you menu is
condensed milk and the other one is just
condensed milk flavor so those should be
perfect we will use those in the machine
today and hopefully works out I've
actually never used this I purchased
this after summer last year because it
went on sale it was originally 3480
it's about 30 bucks and it was on for
half-price after summer finished so I've
been waiting for the weather to warm up
and I think now is the perfect time so
put those back in the freezer we will do
that later we please open my packages I
really want to see what's in them
because one of them I've been waiting
for over like two months it was delayed
because of the virus and it's finally
showed up and it's actually something
that it involves you guys don't know if
you remember because it was so long ago
now but I asked on my YouTube community
page and on Twitter for you guys to pick
out some glasses for me and I left it
all up to you
got you to pick out six pairs I think
I've no idea what they look like and
they have arrived now and we can open
them together so let's do that
so as always all these glasses are from
glasses usa.com
I literally just copied and pasted the
names of the glasses you guys chose in
your comments along with my prescription
sent in an order I have no idea what
they look like but I thought it would be
fun to let you guys let me know what you
think would look good on me so we will
see so this first pair we have here were
chosen by Lila Thank You Lila for your
pick these are the Oh toe toe toe
lynnium in pink and she chose these for
sakura season perfect timing I really
like them this is actually something I
would choose for myself so I'm very
happy with these next up yeah Burberry
these were chosen by Conner now these
are definitely not a style I would have
chosen for myself Oh cute they've got
the Burberry like plaid pattern on the
arms I actually really liked though
these are cool so Connor originally
picked these ones because the lenses in
the more green they were this really
cool dark green color but when you put
your prescription in sunglasses
unfortunately zealand color can only be
black
I love having prescription sunglasses so
I think it's worth it for me but I
actually really like these Thank You
Connor I will be using these these are
really cool
oh another pink however you guys all
chose pink glasses for me you Dobie well
oh these are nice these are by the same
brand Oh toto I'm I really like their
glasses I actually own quite a few of
them and they have really nice designs
these are nice thanks Eddie
good choice next part was chosen by Jade
Thank You Jade for your comment oh wow
they're very bright not a color I would
have chosen for myself
but the whole point of this was to try
something new so whoa the shape is
totally different from something I've
ever worn as well I actually really like
them I think they look really
professional I would probably no I'll
definitely wear these like to a meeting
or when I'm wearing a suit or blazer
second to last pair it was chosen by
Angelica I know I'm gonna like these
that I definitely have something similar
in my collection already but I do not
have this exact pair these are
definitely something that will probably
end up being like an everyday wear type
glasses for me because they're so
comfortable I'm so bummed that I didn't
order any of these glasses in the style
of lens that's supposed to help your
eyes we're looking at the computer they
just started offering those on glasses
USA and I could obviously use some
because I'm staring at my screen all the
time I will probably order some next
time
oh this last pair comes in this fancy
case that says vogue oh they are like a
super cat eye version of the products on
glasses that I have that are actually
like my absolute favorite sunglasses if
you're looking for a really cute pair of
sunglasses I've been wearing them all
the time but these are like a really
pointy version of those I feel like
they're a little too high fashion for me
but I will find a friend to give them to
and they were fun to try there are
thousands of different frame styles
available on their website they're very
affordable so especially if you're from
Canada like me where glasses cost an
absolute mint you can save a lot of
money by ordering on glasses usa.com and
if you're not as brave as me and you
would like to try the glasses on before
you order them they have a virtual Tryon
tool where you can upload a selfie of
yourself and choose any of the frames
and see how they look on your face
before you place your order thanks so
much for choosing those for me you guys
it was really fun to try out some
different styles that I certainly would
not have tried on my own so that's great
if you guys are interested in checking
out the glasses on glasses usa.com I
will put the links down to all of the
glasses we've shown today and also to my
favorite product glasses I hope they
still have them in stock because they're
so cute all right what should we do next
you guys should we make shaved ice or
should we open my package from my good
friend sunny she sent me a big box of
stuff from Indonesia and I think there's
also some things from Korea in there
really excited because it's a bunch of
like food and cosmetics that she really
likes and it's gonna be all like brand
new things for me let's open that in a
sec I say we we make the shaved ice
because I am just as interested
how this is gonna turn out as you guys
are okay it tells you how to put the
machine together but I feel like it's
already pretty much all attached okay
so must go inside there you know what
might work well for this I've got these
little sucker dishes I say we use the
condensed milk flavor because I've got
some mango that I can put on top and I
think that would be really good whoo
success oh that's so cool fits perfectly
this is to push the top down
besides all right it's a first so good
all right here we go this is the hard
part
oh it's working oh my god this is so
easy look at it that is like perfect
texture to shaved ice like soft and
fluffy oh look at it this is so freaking
exciting oh my god this thing is so
great you guys I think we've done it
we've made the perfect little shaved ice
dessert at home how easy was that I'm so
thrilled with this machine that was such
a good purchase of only $15 I'll
definitely be using it a lot in the
summer I've cut up some mango pieces to
go with the condensed milk flavored soy
milk mm-hmm it's so light and fluffy
shout out to Emma tokidoki traveler for
showing this machine to me last year I
think she tweeted a picture of it or
like I gotta find that and then when I
came across it in my bookstore and it
was on sale I had to get it so it's all
thanks to her that I have this so thank
you Emma all right time to open this box
of surprises from my friend Sonny
but me and Sonny actually did like a
little box trade if you guys would like
to go see the box that I sent Sonny I
will link her channel down below and she
will have that video up soon and that's
a really good way to keep in touch with
your friends even if you can't see them
at the moment so if you guys have
friends in other parts of the country or
even if they live closeby to you you
should send some mail to each other whoa
oh my god starting off the box with some
instant noodles from Indonesia Sonny
told me they have a lot of vegan and
like vegetarian products in Indonesia we
are gonna have to make some of these
together once I'm done opening this box
so I can't wait to see what they taste
like I'm not sure what that flavor is
unfortunately there's no English autumns
are not quite sure of the flavors but
that just makes it more interesting
oh and so stuff from Korea look at those
purple potatoes any beautiful we have
these here in Japan too they're often
used in desserts the quite sweet oh my
gosh so many things oh these look so
pretty a bunch of really pretty lip
colors I think these are all Indonesian
brands what color is this one oh that is
perfect
Thank You sunny was a goodness sanitizer
that was so kind of her we are all sold
out in Japan any of the shops that I
have checked for hand sanitizers have
just been completely sold out for the
past couple months now and it doesn't
appear that they are getting any more
stock in so that is super handy I really
appreciate that honey and she also threw
me a lot of like disinfectant wipes for
cleaning my house and for my hand
thank you it seems like Korea is not
short on anything at the moment you can
buy masks you can buy hand sanitizers
that's a really nice tube of it I will
keep that in my purse but Japan is like
really sold out of all the things that
we need right now unfortunately I'm so
lucky to have friends like Sony's that
will send me things from Korea she told
me about this oh that's super cool
unfortunately we're not allowed to use
reusable cups at Starbucks at the moment
but this is a really fun reusable
Starbucks cup that collapses so you can
like squish it down and keep it in your
purse and last but not least we have
this really pretty assortment of
indonesian chocolates
ooh ginger that sounds so yummy thank
you so much sunny so many new things to
try can't wait to try this lip product
oh it's kind of like a burnt orange
can't really tell on camera it's so
pretty
it's really like matte and smooth make
over let's go make some of these noodles
which flavor should we do
mie mie goreng rasa soto let's let's
look up what this means in english mie
goreng fried noodles okay are these just
like fried noodles for them oh no it
says rasa rasa recoring let's rasa the
taste of fried noodles okay well I say
we go with those ones because maybe it's
just like the basic flavor that you
would find fried noodles to be in
Indonesia and that's what I want to try
I want some authentic Indonesian flavor
so well we're waiting for the water to
boil can I show you guys something I
found at the supermarket the other day
Lipton
Sakura flavored tea how cool is that and
it was on sale so I bought like four
boxes of it but it actually tastes more
like cherry than it does Sakura it's
basically like a black tea array
Lipton block tea with a hint of cherry
flavor and it's really nice with milk
toppings to add some crunchy things
this one says seasoning powder and this
one says chili maybe I will put all of
it so cool these are so different from
any instant noodles I've tried before so
many different flavors to mix up mmm it
tastes a lot like fried noodles you'd
get a lot like a Chinese restaurant in
Canada
oh they're spicy chilliad oh my gosh
honey these are so good I need to go to
Indonesia and stock up and because of
all those like extra sauces I put him
there a little oily they're not dry all
right you guys I'm gonna go finish my me
Gordon my Indonesian fried noodles and I
want to say a huge thank you to
everybody that sent me a message on
Twitter or on Instagram I got so many
birthday messages from you guys and oh I
would love to feature these really cool
art pieces that I got thanks so much you
