Jewel for LMPSTND

Unarchived some footage and video clips from pretty much a year ago with the ever so cute Jewel Chan. I have so much to show to the world, I'm doing injustice to my friends back home who braved the cold for me to shoot and film these! I'm sorry guys! I love you though! That makes up a bit of it right? :P

Anyway when we shot on this particular day (and I have no idea why we didn't chicken out), it was a nippy -30 (with windchill). Yup, you read that correctly, -30!...well if my memory serves me right. So a big THANK YOU to Jewel for hanging in there and still slaying with her style.

 

I'm ALIVE & Apartment Tour 2016

HI COOL KATS I'M STILL ALIVE and with a video of my current apartment! Now since the last post I made was about 4 months ago... has there been any big news since then?! Well I've decided to move down to Kanagawa and currently am in the midst of looking for a new apartment. Which got me thinking I should make a video tour of my current one before I leave. Hence my apartment tour videoooooo!! 

Now lets get more informative because I bet there are a lot of people wondering what an apartment in Japan looks like, the cost, the process of getting one, etc. Well I'm here to explain as much as I know from my experience and answer all of your questions. This is content heavy so prepare yourself! This will be from what I've experienced so it won't be a minute to minute explanation of everything. For more detailed info click this guide "How to Rent an Apartment in Tokyo" from Gaijinpot.

Also I've made a mistake with one of the terminology in the video, I live in a 2LDK not a 2DK, or maybe they're the same but on my contract it says it's a 2LDK. 

the bf's Field Hockey & the wifey (image heavy)

About two weeks ago my sister from another mama and her hubby came to visit from Canada. I had been in dire need of her presence, hugs, and kisses so it was a reunion of tears (only from me) and squealing haha.  We took too many "beauty selfies", trekked Tokyo and hiked Mt. Takao. We also watched the bf's hockey game. Her (talented) hubby took photos of his game and later of her and I twinning...well our dresses were twinning....technically, so close enough. Anyway enjoy the pics!
