Hi guys! I know it has been a while, but I'm really bad at regularly updating stuff (I tend to procrastinate a lot f^_^;).
So, what have I been up to lately? Well, quite a few things happened actually. First of all, I found out that I am able to go to Gackt's concert in the Melkweg, Amsterdam on July 26, so I am really happy ^_^
Secondly, I bought a new laptop (my old one was four years old and had quite a few problems). It's a black Dell Inspiron 15, and it's awesome, I'm super happy with it.
Thirdly I bought these awesome pair of colored lenses at eyecandylens.com. It's called Angel Violet and I could even choose the power for each of my eyes (my right eye is -3.5 and my left eye -4.0). It also came with a free lens box and the shipping was also free ^_^ The price was also very good. I wish I could show you guys what they look like when I wear them, but when I wanted to take a photo the battery of my camera was empty so I'll post a photo later on, okay?
And last but not least; after the summer vacation I'm officially a third year student Japanese :D and that means that I will be leaving to Matsumoto, Japan in March 2012 for about 5 months as an exchange student. I really can't wait *_*
But with all things in life there are also bad things. Now some of you might not care, but the first Japanese Visual Kei band that I ever became a fan of has disbanded after 11 years of activity T^T Perhaps some of you might know them; the name of the band is D'espairsRay. A comforting thought though, is that they didn't disband because of arguments or stuff like that. Hizumi, the singer of the band, has been suffering a rare throat condition that eventually made it impossible for him to sing. I guess I sort of saw it coming when they went on hiatus to give Hizumi a chance to recover, but it still hit me hard :S
The other bad thing happened yesterday evening. I arrived at the train station of the town that I live in after an awesome surprise party we organized for a friend, only to find out that someone stole my bike... Which I really don't get, since it's 8 years old, there is rust on the brake cables, the front and back light are wonky at best, and the plastic coat protector is cracked in different places... I even secured my bike to a lamp post with an extra chain. There were also plenty of other nice looking bikes at the train station that weren't as well secured as mine, and in a much better shape too. So now I have to buy a new one, since I really need it. And because my bike was stolen I had to walk home from the train station in nothing but a dress and high heels (13 centimeter) since I didn't bring a coat nor an umbrella. The weather was really nice when I left for the party, or else I would've brought them with me.
But enough ranting on my side. I still have fun stuff to look forward to (the Gackt concert and summer vacation), and I hope you enjoyed reading my post. Oh, and if you are interested in buying colored lenses you should really check out eyecandylens.com. They offer world wide free shipping, good quality and a lot of lenses to choose from. Quite a few of them can be ordered with the desired prescription for your eyes as well ^_^
That's all for this time, see you guys later! またね～
