you might have noticed that I've been
trying to get be I don't know get one
coloring book this book oh my god and

some like examples of all looking pretty
is so yeah like I said I'm not sure
exactly where you can get this I'll see
if I can find it online
and you work for you guys if you're
interested in getting one if it was
originally sold at the Pokemon Center
but ever
I tried to get one or Toph tried to get
one for me they were sold out or maybe
they weren't maybe it was a line he got

difficult to get these days hold up
super fast as soon as they were released

clip on to your bag it's like a little
hair clip style clip and it's got a
chain and a another clip attached to it
and you put your house key on here so
you click this on your bag and then you
always know where your house key is you
can just pull out the chain like this
that is so freaking useful I am always
digging through my bag looking for my
house keys and I know he made me
something because when he gave it to me
to be careful because there's something
handmade in here what is this oh my god
shiny right sure you cut up a shiny

ornament out of a shiny
Raichu card this is the Christmas
ornament of my dreams that is so
creative oh my god I want to make tons
of these and put them on my tree that

thank you topaz must have taken you
forever to make and there's something
else in here so anything it's a Mothra

recently so thank you so much to
everybody who gave me something I really
appreciate it a lot so thank you alright
that's the end of today's vlogmas sorry
it's such a like chill video I could not
do anything today I did not want to go
out and vlog or like there was no point
blogging at home because I was literally
just sleeping until past noon okay so
yesterday was crazy if you watched my
boning Chi video yesterday's vlog miss I
ended it like with nothing news after
eating that spicy food
I just with my mouth was burning and I'm
not I'm not super sensitive to spicy
food I can handle it I don't really
enjoy it I like medium spice when I
order something I like medium spice is
great it's just perfect I won't get the
higher up spice stuff just because I
don't enjoy it but like that was so
painful I can't even explain it I don't
know what it was made of all I know is
it had like habanero oil or something in
it plus other things of fire and it
really saw but we were having a lot of
fun feeding it to each other and Martina
was insane and she just when you saw the
picture of that bowl there were no
noodles or vegetables left in the soup
because Marty
I ate them all she had a sample of it to
eat we had like scooped up a little bowl
of it for her to try and this random
customer next to her like took the this
oil that was sitting on the counter and
poured it in like when she wasn't
looking I guess and made it like even
that much spicier so when she tried that
it was even worse than the one I had so
she took the bowl of the one I had and
just started eating it like no one would
she's like oh no this is so much better
anyway she's insane because that was
crazy
I swear that even people that can eat
super spicy stuff would have had that
and just like died because I can't
explain the level of spiciness
I'm trying some pretty spicy stuff in
Korea and this like didn't even come
close to that it was so crazy
so yeah afterwards you guys were
assuming that like I got really drunk
that so I stopped blogging but I don't
drink very much I only had a few drinks
so it wasn't that but me and Bronwyn
rushed to catch the last train we waited
to get a taxi outside of the bar and the
taxi was so slow and again it finally
came and we got in the taxi and we had
six minutes to for it to drive us to the
station to catch the last train back to
her place and the guy like I don't know
why he was so confused it was such an
easy request we asked him to drive us to
make ro station but he looked really
confused and then he tried to find
maguro station on the Navi the GPS and
he couldn't find it so then I guess he
just started driving but he kept going
the wrong way so we had to turn the car
around like I swore at least three times
and it wasn't even a far Drive
it was probably it was supposed to be a
six-minute Drive but it took him about
11 minutes and we ran to get into the
station to catch the train on time but
when we got down there the train was
delayed so it like it didn't even matter
that we were late to catch it because it
was delayed a lot and we had to wait for
it for about 20 extra minutes then it
finally showed up and it was so packed
anyways we made it back to the station
where we transfer to get the next train
to Ronald's house but we had already
missed that because that first train was
so late that we couldn't get the one
back to her house so we were wandering
around ikebukuro for about an hour
looking for a taxi dragging our luggage
we both have really heavy
from the party and we wandered into the
red-light district of you gave aggro
it's not like officially called dad or
anything because like it's not known as
that but you'll see lots of like
suspicious shops and suspicious people
in that area so you kind of know what's
going on and just walking down the
street looking for a taxi I swore at
least four groups of men talked to us
and the first guy was like hotel are you
going to a hotel and ron was just like
no and we kept walking and he's like get
a drink drink with me anyways we just
ignored him and kept walking and then
like 45 seconds later that's out a group
of guys talked to us it was just so
sketchy we made it through the crowd of
men trying to bring us into like hotels
and bars and clubs with them and we
finally caught a taxi because Bronwen
like ran down the street to catch it
before the man in front of us I was
looking for a taxi got it and then we
made it home but by the time we got home
it was like past 2:00 a.m. and then I
edited that vlog and yeah it was yeah we
were so tired anyways so that's why
today's videos so relaxed I hope you
guys enjoyed watching it anyways
tomorrow I'm not sure what I'm going to
do yet it's my first day like first full
