Asakural

A lot has happened in the past. What? Three days. A lot of emotions are currently running through me. My stay here in Hirakata has been amazing so far but everything is happening so fast and. THERE'S TOO MUCH TO TAKE IN. The classes are WTF - workload wise. I can't ask for a better homestay family. I feel like a complete loser because I can't speak any Japanese (except the basic shit, but that can't take you far), and I think my ass is going to die riding a bike LOLWUT.

TOO MUCH. TIME, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN.

When I find some effing time, I'll discuss the following: homestay, classes, and riding a bike (the roads here are fucking RIDCULUOUS. I shit you not, I can't believe I didn't crash into a car yet OMGWITHBBQSAUCEINACANLIKEWHOA).

Right now, I want to sleep. But I have a shitload of things to do. Like homework. Reviewing a shitload of Japanese. And organizing my shit.

LOL, NOT REALLY.

Yesturday

( Super size that shit )( Fangirlin' and sushi  )

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I FIND OUT ABOUT WHO THE HELL MY HOMESTAY FAMILY IS TOMORROW, LULZ FINALLY

WOW.

I've only been in Japan for two days, and so much has happened. I don't know where to start, so I'm going to divide this post into three sections and hopefully all of these emotions will somehow become words. Let's do this.

( Recap of the last 3 days )

Rigt now, I am dead tired and I can barely move my body. I've never walked this much in my life. I love the fact that I don't need a car to get around Hirakata, but there's a reason why everyone here has a bike. And this chick is definitely getting one soon. (Adding a basket to a bike is an extra 10000 yen, WTF)

On a side note, I haven't had time to catch up on KHR. This makes me sad, yo.

I should be asleep by now since I have to wake up super early tomorrow but. Naaah. I shall be spamming your f-list with my LOL moment of the day, er. Night:



At first, I was like "WTF, SERIOUSLY? YO CAN FLY NOA??" but then I remembered, oh yeah. They're in the future. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IN THE FUTURE.

Boxes = pokeballs?
Boxes + animal creatures = Yu-gi-oh cards + HALOGRAPHIC CREATURES?
Am I the only one being LUL'D by this while watching KHR? Oh, future arc~

Holy fuck, the clock is ticking. A part of me is ready. Another part of me is like "fkfjdskljfkldsjfklds;;;;; WTF TIME!" Packing is still, and will always be an ass. I tried re-arranging my crap into one suitcase and failed miserably. I have way too much clothes. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

On a much much brighter note, the following made me LOL while watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn episode 108:



UM, STFU GOKUDERA. JUMPING ON YOU IS TOTALLY TOTALLY NECESSARY.




"WITH MY OWN BODY"

AHARHAR, I HAVE NO WORDS BECAUSE I FAIL BUT WHO CARES. WORDS ARE NOT NEEDED. 

This series amuses the hell out of me. How come I didn't watch this show sooner? By the way, I can't stop listening to this song (Squalo's character song from KHR):

Sorry, nothing "getting ready for Japan" related but I'm reading 8059 doujinshi scanlated from Decimo Luce right now and I came across a story that's part of an anthrology and. HOLY FUCK. My heart is filled with gush. LIKE. MATH IS IN THIS. AND. I HATE MATH. BUT THE LAST PAGE.

OH, MY BRAIN.

Click hurr for images.

Seriously. Time. Slow the fuck down.

The last couple of days was filled with shopping and organizing (and by organizing, I meant dumping my crap in a corner of the room) what I need/want to bring with me to Japan. I need to review my Japanese this weekend, and I meant to do some reviewing for the past week or so but... Katekyo Hitman Reborn is taking over mah soul. A friend of mine recommended the series so I decided to check it out. The first 20 episodes are, whatever. I skipped a few episodes in the beginning but after episode mid-20-something, it becomes SO GOOD. Like, HOLY SHIT AWESOME GOOD.

Oh, and I need to overdose on some 8059 in hyper mode, please. < / fangirl rant >

Anyways, 4 more days. But why Japan?
 
( Well, it goes like this )

Wow. I think that'll be the longest post I'll ever write in this blog. But I'm glad I'm able to express my reasons for going to Japan. I'm doing it for myself and myself only. If you don't agree, well. That's your problem. :D

Gotta make a list before I forget. Packing is eating up my life like it's made  out of chocolate. 15 more days!
