Welcome to the first vlog in my new apartment!
It's not quite apartment-tour ready but I did clean up a little bit
So I can show you guys around a little bit today
I wanted to say sorry for the lack of videos this month
I actually decided to take a little break and go to Korea to visit the cats
:3
They both look really healthy and happy so that made me feel super relieved
I just got back to Japan
I haven't even unpacked my suitcase; it's over there
I usually take about a week to do it lol
Everytime it's like my least favorite thing to do
BUT, I had some packages in the mail
And one of them is something very exciting
If you follow me on Twitter
You might have some idea of what this gigantic box is
But we will open this together later on today
And I also got some new glasses!
Which I'm also very stoked about because
When I moved from Korea
I couldn't bring my glasses collection with me
Because I couldn't find a way to pack them lol
So I've only had one pair of glasses for the past few months
And I'm getting tired of wearing the same ones
So I'm stoked to try these on
Let's do that right now actually
As always, these are from
Thank you so much for supporting my channel
I honestly don't know what I would do without you guys
So I got two pairs of glasses and I got two pairs of sunglasses
So they do have this really cool tool on their website
Where you can upload a picture of your face
And try on the glasses virtually on the website before you order them
But because I've ordered from them so many times
I have an idea of the kind of glasses that I like for my face
So i got a round pair because I'm still loving these round glasses that you see
Lots of people in Asia wearing
They're really casual so they look nice with just like a hoodie or a t-shirt
Probably wouldn't wear them with a suit in like a professional setting
But for everyday wear
I love these light, round glasses and they're so comfortable
Because the frame is just so thin
What do you guys think?
I'm pretty happy with them
For the next pair I thought I would get something...
More professional that I could wear with a suit
These are actually a smaller frame than I would usually get
I kind of like the big, like chunky, nerdy glasses
But I thought I would try a smaller pair this time
And I'm really happy with them!
It's really nice to have a selection of different frames that you can pair with different outfits
Next is the sunglasses
I'm gonna save the fancy pair for last
I actually got a pair of Prada sunglasses
GlassesUSA.com has lots of brand name glasses as well as like, their own in house brands
And the brand name glasses are just so much cheaper than anything
You would find like, in the store in Canada lol
Let's try this first pair of sunglasses that I got
These aren't the Prada ones
Ooh I like these~
These are cute!
I absolutely love how you can put prescription in any of their glasses or sunglasses
I had never owned prescription sunglasses
Before I started working with GlassesUSA.com
And it just like opened up a whole new world for me
Because now when I'm outside in the summer
I can see
If you have never owned prescription sunglasses treat yourself to a pair
They will change your life
And now for the Prada ones~
Look how fancy this is
They can come in their own like, fancy case
I went with kind of like a round cat eye design
Which I thought was super cute
And tortoise shell coloring with a little bit of gold accents
Yeah, I like them
I feel like when you have really big frames, it makes your face look smaller
And I have a really chubby face
So I find that these kind of glasses are
More flattering on my face?
I'll have a link to all these glasses that I order down below in the description box
If you guys wanna twin with me
Or if you're on the lookout for some new frames do check out GlassesUSA.com
Because they have a really nice selection of
Affordable glasses and I think you guys will find it really easy to find some frames that will suit your face
Okay I want to take you guys outside now
Because the weather is just amazing
It just started warming up here in Morioka
The sakura are blooming
I need to take you outside before the weather goes to shit
Then when we get back we could open up that giant box in the living room!
Because I have been dying to open that
I'm so happy the weather is nice now so I could take you guys outside
I really am excited to show you this town
But I'm actually excited to explore it myself
Because even though I've lived here for...
Three years! Before
I lived in Morioka for three years
I didn't get to see much of the town because...
For the entire time I was working like crazy
Like, everyday all day
Uhh, so I really didn't go out much
It's gonna be really fun to kind of explore the place with you guys and...
Discover new things together :D
It's crazy windy today, unfortunately
But the sakura are blooming in Morioka and it's just really beautiful
It's such a nice walk
I live really close to a river
So there's a great path for walking or jogging or biking if I eventually get a bike
Which I'm planning on soon
I was scared that I was gonna miss cherry blossom season while I was in Korea and I almost did lol
Because the day I got back I uhh
Went outside and I saw that they were already fully blooming
And once they bloom they're only around for like
A week, unfortunately
But yeah, I was super lucky
Look at that view, there's a tunnel of cherry blossoms
This city is gorgeous
Can't wait to show you guys more of it~
Alright, it's the moment we've all been waiting for
Let's see what's inside this box
I don't think I've ever been so excited for a package in my life (heh)
As I mentioned in my Q&A video
I've really been enjoying decorating my apartment!
Especially because I have these really cool looking cement walls
Which actually aren't cement
They're fake they're like stick on, fake cement plastic walls
But the wall just looks really bare
So I decided to be an adult and order some "fine art"
For the wall, so I hope it looks nice
lol xD
Oh my god it looks so good
This is gonna look so awesome on my wall
The only problem is you're not allowed to put holes in Japanese walls
So I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna hang this up
Let's umm, run down to Daiso actually
I'll bring you guys to Daiso with me and I'll see if I can find some kind of stick on...
HOOKS!
Because the walls are kind of plasticky
I feel like I could stick something to it
And take it off later on and it wouldn't rip a hole in the wall
Unlike these stupid paper walls
That you can't do anything with
It's so hard to decorate in my place and make it look nice
Because I can't put anything on the walls
See this room is all paper walls. I can't really do anything with it
But, umm, yeah I feel lucky that I have this one...
Cement wall that I can make look awesome with my new...
ARTWORK!
Okay let's go to Daiso
These are what I had in mind
And I didn't think they would hold up the 6 kilos
So these might actually work
Yeah these ones, they're for like little things
Fingers crossed because if it falls off the wall
It's gonna like smash my TV lol
This can't possibly be more than six...
Kilograms?
Apparently I have to like...
Melt this adhesive with a lighter for thirty seconds
(what is so funny lol)
Fuck
It's like turning black lol
Ooh that little fuck
I think I did it right
It's kinda weird that it all turns black though?
LIke that doesn't seem right lol
Shit I think they're slightly crooked
But hopefully it won't be too noticeable
Ooh~
It looks really good!
Oh my god
Can't believe I did this
How awesome is that?
My living room just got infinitely cooler lol
What a great investment
Alright I think it's time to cook some dinner
On the way back from my walk today
I actually stopped by a cafe that I've been meaning to try for ages
And I had a really good taco rice
It was a vegetarian taco rice that was made using soy meat
And I actually have some soy meat in the cupboard
So I'm gonna see if I can replicate...
What I had for lunch because it was really, really good
Using this
So hopefully this turns out well and you guys can try it as well
(fuck I'm hungry now)
Okay, well that was really easy to make
Hopefully it tastes good
Just use some taco seasoning if you can get it in your country
Or umm, if you're in Japan, I decided to go with the tandoori chicken spice
And it smelled just like taco seasoning
Pretty sure it's almost...
Identical!
Mmm!
That's pretty nice!
It's actually quite similar to the one I had at the cafe for lunch
I'm... pretty impressed with myself
So if you're looking to try out taco rice, which is actually an Okinawan dish
It's really easy to make so try out my recipe and send me pictures if you make it
So I'm off to Tokyo tomorrow actually for work for five days
I've got an event with Tokyo Creative
And I'm gonna film some videos there
And I've just got the most insane week planned out
I'm doing some crazy stuff for my birthday
It was actually my birthday yesterday (happy birthday!)
Thank you so much for your birthday wishes
But I'm celebrating it this weekend in Tokyo with my friends lol and
I think you guys are gonna really enjoy the video
And I'm also going to the Pokemon Cafe with my friend Sophie
And I have a special guest coming to visit me in Morioka for two days
See if you guys could guess who it is in the comments
If you're part of my letter club on Patreon
And I told you who it was in your letter
Don't say anything, keep it a secret
Let's see if anyone can guess
Yeah, I've got lots of, lots of good stuff coming up
I hope you guys are looking forward to it
I'm gonna go enjoy my taco rice and I will see you guys a bit later
So one of my New Year's resolutions was to start playing the piano again
I used to play when I was younger, like a lot younger
And I really wanted to get back into it again
So I ordered this cheap electronic piano off of Amazon
It was the highest rated one that I could get for an affordable price
And I'm pretty impressed with it
The keys are really heavy, like a real acoustic piano and I like that
The only problem is I'm actually not allowed to have instruments in this apartment lol
That's a common rule of Japanese apartments
Because they're noisy and they bug the neighbors
So I've got to play with headphones all the time
Which is kind of lame
And that means you guys can't listen to me
But you can pretend that this is me because...
I'm definitely as good as this recording
-.-
Thanks for watching guys!
I hope you enjoyed hanging out with me for the day
If you would like to check out my glasses
I'll have the links down below in the description box
And I will see you again very soon
For a very crazy birthday party in Tokyo
So stay tuned :)
Byeeeeeee!~
