I won a giveaway for the first time in my life!!
I won Anibee's giveaway for the Swallowtail Butler Cafe Diary =w= uwaa so happy~ hahas I wasn't expecting to win actually. When I first joined the giveaway, it was about 30mins~1hour after the post was up on Facebook, and I thought there wouldn't be much response (but then at the end of the day.........) so I pretty much gave up hope of winning the giveaway after seeing the number of people who joined. But I won yay~ heehee so happy.
I wanna go Swallowtail Cafe when I get the chance to go Japan (by myself or with some like-minded friends). I sound so sadlife sia omg, go overseas holiday by myself lol. Plus it's dangerous. Hahaha, but even if have friends want to go, also have to consider other limitations like for example their parents' restrictions, money, dates etc etc. Ahh so sad. I wanna go to NatsuCOMI, or maybe a smaller event. Maybe ONLY events as well hahaha if I get the chance to go during those dates.
Anyway this is the diary!
It's super pretty! The box was wrapped in a plastic sheet, and in the box is the diary. I'm not sure what kind of material the diary cover is made of, but it felt really nice to the touch and the design is carved into the cover. It's a diary for the year 2013 though.... lol. And we're already halfway into 2013, which is a bit awkward.
Last week (Friday ~ Tuesday) Kinokuniya had a 20% discount for members to commemorate World Book Day. Of course, I couldn't miss out the chance to grab stuff like artbooks (crazy expensive when brought into Singapore) and some magazines. I broke my spending record though.....*cough* The only place I would spend so much of my own money is at Kinokuniya lol.
Anyway, the lootss~
I bought CosMode this month as well (after looking at the cover and deciding that what's inside is going to be useful). I love CosMode because they provide costume patterns with their magazines heehee. This month's had KARNEVAL's Tsukumo's costume (a top & skirt) pattern in it. And I also got a MOOK called CameCOS (Pronounced kah-meh-cos), which is a smush of camera and cosplay. It's a guidebook for cosplay photography and includes studio information (which is useless here, lesigh). For me, there wasn't much new information for me because. Well. This mook (I believe) is for people who don't know photography... So. Yeah. Well, I did learn a little about lights (which I've little experience with) I suppose.
I bought 2 artbooks: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (I'm not gonna bother with their random uppercasing) Productions 2 and Starry Sky Vol. 2. STARRY SKY~ STARRY SKY! *throws flowers everywhere* I love Kazuaki's art style~ And Starry Sky was the first otome game I learnt about. There's gonna be a Vol. 3 apparently, so I'm just gonna wait for Kino to bring it in.
Aside from those, I also got vol 1 of Tooyama Ema's GDGD-DOGS. I bought Vol 2 around last year I think, because Vol 1 was out of stock. I love her style and her stories as well heehee. Currently following Watashi ni xx Shinasai! intensely. I bought vol 1 & 2 in Chinese I think, and I also got Vol 1 in Japanese lol. Eh. Wait, I think I have more volumes than that, but I can't remember which language I bought them in.
Also bought KERA JUNE (KERA releases super early sia) since it was out already.
K SIDE BLACK & WHITE wasn't in on Monday when I went, unfortunately. I'm gonna drop by later and see if the stock is in.
Ohyes, Smoothie King opened at 313@Somerset the previous Tuesday and I got the chance to finally try it out on Monday, after a satisfying shopping try at Kino (Oh, and Laduree is hell expensive. Someone, get my macaroons for my birthday TT_TT [fat hope]). I went Kino with Nanami and 2 of her friends from school and after that we went Smoothie King.
I got myself a regular Lemon Twist Strawberry. I think it's good. Not bad. Really nice hahas. My sister says that there's no way one can get full on a smoothie, but I do think that it's filling. I'm not the only one who thinks that way, apparently, because Nanami commented that if she had gotten a regular with her wrap, she wouldn't be able to finish her food. Mirai also said their smoothie was filling.
I really enjoyed Smoothie King that day, that on Wednesday, after my lessons, I dropped by again to have a wrap and smoothie. I also like the layout of the place. It seems like a nice place to sit and chill and maybe draw. I always have this like. Want? to draw at cafes like Starbucks. I got a teriyaki chicken wrap and a Jeju Green Tea smoothie~ The wrap was really yummy~
Time really flies... It's almost May soon. Aaaahhh A levels are coming ohmygosh how. And event events events ahhh I need to order my stuff from Taobao by end-June and start on my props and omg ahhhh (crazy woman having panic attack now)
I still need to practise guy makeup orz Must look ikemen. (Because I'm gonna cos Saruuuu)
Oh, and the swimming anime CM that took Tumblr by storm. IT'S OFFICIAL. So eggcited for it omgomgomg. And Miyano Mamoru is voicing a character for this animeeee (called FREE!). He's voicing the character Matsuoka Rin 松岡 凛. It's gonna start airing in July. Sigh, this year is a shitty year to take major exams in. SIGH. *regrets all the life decisions she has ever made*
Shall end here. See you guys next time!

Kanji lyrics
LとR ふたりで一つずつ耳につけた
同じ制服 眠たげな顔 物憂い会話 乗せて走るバス
左にいるのにR 右にいるのにL
不思議がる君の すこしの身じろぎで
イヤフォンコード引っ張られて 僕は黙って首を左に傾ける
それだけのことが誇らしかった
世界中のおとのと子どもの憂鬱を
苛立たしさを 不機嫌を 煩悶を 重圧を
摩り切れた声で 歌っている歌
何者かになれって 煩く要求する社会から 逃げだしたがっている
だけど逃げ道は LとRが塞いでる
歌い手の悲鳴が僕たちを満たす
LとR いつから違う音が聴こえてた？
膝をたたく指先のリズム 気づけばすこしずつずればじめてた
このアルバム終わるまで 乗っていこうよって
君が言ったから 内緒でリピートにした
でも学校前のバス停 忘れて君は スクバ提げて立ちあがった
イヤフォンコード引っ張られて抜けた
僕たちの中の未熟であやふやな
息苦しさを 不愉快を 違和感を 倦厭を
かわりに言葉にしてくれた歌
何者かになれって 煩く要求する社会から 逃げだしたかったんだ
だけど逃げ道は LとRに閉じ込める
僕たちの悲鳴は僕たちを焦がす
もし君がこのイヤフォンをアンプに替えて
みんなでこの歌を歌おうと言うのなら
僕はアンプをぶっ壊すだろう
I beg your hate

Lol. I played this song on my iTunes, and after this song ended, kemu's Life Reset Button played... The synth sounds actually match each other lol. Okay random.
But anyway, this song is a total Sarumi song plx. Not that I ship Sarumi like that (I just want them to be friends again). But this song is actually really sad. And lonely. And then at the end it becomes warped. (Like how Fushimi became, omg brb crying)
Ahhhh Yata no baka! *wails* But Fushimi never told Misaki his feelings at all (like maybe he didn't want to join Homra but didn't tell Misaki that, or that he doesn't like it that Misaki is ignoring him/getting closer to everyone/fawning over Mikoto, and why he really wanted to leave, but in the end instead of seeking Misaki's love (which he thinks he will never get, since it's all to Homra and Mikoto) he looks for Misaki's hate instead. Omg. Why am I doing a character evaluation now. (I swear I can do a Lit essay on this, omg my priorities.) Oh wait my sentence structure totally got screwed up OTL. But anyway, Fushimi never told Misaki how he felt but sort-of expected Misaki to understand because they've been together for so long but it's not like Misaki can, you know? So somehow I think Fushimi is also at fault here, if you look at it objectively. (And I actually really understand this because I always expect my close friends to understand me well enough, but they don't. And then I get pissed off at them, and then later I'm like, what did I expect, if I don't say anything how are they gonna understand me. But then actually I don't want to say anything because I don't wanna get hated- omg. Please don't tell me Fushimi actually endured all that because he knows how important Homra is to Misaki and the bonds and all that and even though he really hates it he doesn't say anything because he doesn't want to get thrown away by Misaki?! D: But in the end his feelings become twisted and he ends up seeking Misaki's hate. And Misaki obviously hates him because he still cares for Fushimi, doesn't he?! I MEAN HE HASN'T EVEN DELETED SARU'S NUMBER FROM HIS PDA-WATCH! And you can't hate without having loved the person. Maybe that's what Fushimi wants to confirm. Which is why he gets super irritated when Misaki ignores him and actually goes on trying to provoke Misaki (ref Ep5, when they bump into each other at Ashinaka) Wow. Okay I should totally shut up.
OH AND side note: Lyrics from the source read "katamukeru" for the 5th line (earphone cord one) but Miyano Mamoru sings "katamuku" so I just left the romaji as "katamuku" but the Kanji is "katamukeru". And the line breaking for the romaji lyrics is different from the kanji.
