Keeping Up In Japan!

Hello everyone! I know I've been neglecting you, but that is because I have been in Japan for almost a week now!

I hope everyone is keeping up with my whirlwind adventures on tumblr! If not here it is so you can catch up! Because of internet and time constraints its best for me to post pictures in just one place and unfortunately Tumblr makes is super fast and easy! I posted about TOKYO DISNEY and SHIBUYA today!

Anyway I also want to save this blog as a place where I can talk in detail and share a bit more then on my tumblr. I will probably blog more in the coming weeks as I head north for some volunteering!

JAPAN IS NEARLY HERE!

I'm getting very excited for Japan in 12 days! Its really hard to focus on my last two finals that are at 12 today.... but anyway!

Don't forget to follow my Tumblr!

I will be posting photos everyday I'm able and talk a bit about what I did each day! I may copy the posts here but, I really like the Tumblr format.... Quick and easy!

I will probably devote longer posts and logs of the days activities here and on my livejournal.

But probably the next time you will be reading I will be in Japan!

Going... slowly

I really will be glad when all this is over. This semester has been quite the ride... I've been up to my ponytail with Japan club stuff. Don't get me wrong, I think fundraising is what we should be doing... but when every waking moment practically is spent with fundraising and other Japan Club activities I find myself wearing down very quickly these days. I'm glad things have slowed down a bit but that means things just have to speed up in another area... and that means I have to get working on school work.... So posts as you can see, will be VERY infrequent in the coming weeks. I will mostly be posting on my Tumblr updates on my planning for my trip to Japan in May, you might catch a rant on these pages but if you wanna see more frequent updates then my tumblr is the place to be. Check it out HERE!

Back from Bean Town!

I went to Boston for Spring Break. It was wonderful! I arrived on the same day Reagan drove up from base in North Carolina. He moved back to Boston this week. He will be out of the Marine Corps in April! I can't believe its already here! The first several days we just spent getting him moved in, moving furnature, putting away things and cleaning. As well as doing paperwork and getting him applied for college. I hope he gets accepted!

We did lots of things, but not too much overly exciting stuff. We celebrated St. Pats together which was nice! Partied pretty hard though.

We went...

To the Science Museum

-Went to like EVERY mall in Boston! I can't believe I didn't buy much!

-Had dessert at the Melting Pot

-Had Dim Sum in China Town! YUM!!! Chicken feet are soo yummy!

-And a lot of sleeping in and just being with each other!

-Had cake from Fratelli's a yummy Italian bakery! I love cake!!

So without further ado! A picture or two!

Cake from Fratelli's! The Best!

I love the buildings in downtown! Cute houses!

And a picture of the two of us at Melting Pot! YUM!

日本で。。。

There was a HUGE earthquake in Japan today around Tokyo and it also caused a Tsunami in Northern Japan in the Sendai area.

I'm very worried for all of my friends in both areas and all over Japan right now. I hope everyone is alright.

Please help me send them strength with your thoughts and prayers!

Thank you!!

Measure Twice, Eat Once

As you all know I'm working on losing weight, here's an update... I lost five pounds... and now its starting to go up again, its like a roller coaster! I forgot how frustrating weight loss can be!

However this week I was a baaad girl... I ate a lot of sweets and foods that I should have said, "No thank you" to. I also bad because I only managed to exercise twice in the WHOLE week... needless to say I feel less then pleased with myself, I'm in that first down of this process... my workout (The 30 day Shred with Jillian Michaels) has gotten really hard and I'm seeing my limits, but I need to keep doing it! I just have to keep it up! I mean I saw a immediate change in that first few weeks where I lost the 5lbs... now I just have to stay motivated and NOT get lazy and eat whatever I want!

I want to make my goals! One of them being to re-create this pinup shot in a vintage photoshoot... when I reach my new weight...

But enough of that!

I also got a Tumblr!! I know another blog right? Well this one will be strictly for photos and my travels! Follow me and see where my high heels are taking me on life's road! I will do my best to post a photo everyday, either of somewhere I've been, will be going, or something that I have stumbled upon! Check it out often!!

Eat Your Heart Out!

So, its been a trying week to say the least.

I've had exams and meetings and drama galor but its Thursday and I'm in need of a break! Unfortunately that won't come till Saturday!

Anyway, Monday was Valentine's Day, and while I was a bit lonely it was a pretty good day, things went along smoothly, just busy. However here comes the day's romantic story!

I was getting read to head to work (from 4pm to Midnight) I had my hand on the door to leave when there was a knock!!! I was like WHOA! I open the door and there is a local florist with a splendid bouquet of red roses and dark pink tigerlilies (I think) waiting for me!! They were from My Marine of course but is was just a really neat way to get them. I almost missed their delivery! Fate is a funny thing sometimes!

Anyhow the rest of the week is progressing, and I'm almost there, I need to write letters this weekend as well as go to tea ceremony (I have a one on one lesson with Ricci-sensei... I'm sorta scared...) and do my homework.

And finally speaking of eating, I had my mid month weigh in and I lost FIVE pounds! I'm so excited that Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred video (SaraMari recommended this and used it on her diet) is working! I do it everyday and it is kicking my butt! But I'm excited about the results so far!

I'm getting better at eating better which is good.

Well now its time to study for a test!

I will be back to blog again soon!!!
