Things I’m Currently Obsessing Over

Friday, May 27th, 2011

I thought posting this on a Friday would be a great start to the weekend!  A little list of things that make me smile, hopefully it will make you smile while reading it!  I wanted to call it “Things I Love” but it’s more of an obsession, really..

1.Japan Store

Right next to the place where I take my yoga classes is a “Japan Lifestyle” store.  I love it when I get to yoga a little early so I can browse around this place, it always puts a smile on my face!

Plus all of their Hello Kitty stuff is way cheaper than other places, apparently they aren’t aware of the 700% markup on everything Hello Kitty that most other stores believe in haha

Wall of Hello Kitty!  This always makes me SMILE!:)

 

They even have little kitchen sponges, toilet bowl cleaners, etc with smiling faces on them.. how cool is that?!  Super kawaii!:)

2. The model Mosh!

So I have always really admired this girl for being an amazing model!  She was always on my list of fav models with other girls like Masuimi Max and Apnea.  But my admiration has become close to obsession and if you follow my Tumblr page you will see I end up posting almost as many pics of her as I do myself!  I was lucky enough to find a Tumblr fan page dedicated to her that keeps all of the original watermarks on the pics and even links back to her website a lot so I feel ok reposting them!  Here’s a couple:

I think she has such a pretty face, I’m jealous of her perfect bangs, she seems to be in total control over every part of her body and face at all times!

The reason why I like her so much is because she can pose her ass off!  She is so flexible and so creative, her poses are so twisted and awkward looking..and yet they are always soft and beautiful looking!

ok ok, one more..

This is one of my fav pics of her!  Can you say HOT?!

So now you guys see why she’s become my new obsession.. I really admire models like her and would even consider her to be a role model!  I want to be like Mosh when I grow up!:)

oh yeah, the link to my Tumblr is

in case you were wondering:)

3.Sea Snax

Since I can’t eat sushi that much anymore due to getting mercury poisoning a couple months ago, I decided to try these one day while stalking the sushi counter at Whole Foods (hey, habits die hard!)  I know it looks weird, and at first I was also weary, but now I can’t get enough of it!  All it is is dried sheets of seaweed with just a tiny bit of Olive Oil and sea salt.  The front of the package says “strangely addicting!” and let me just tell you, they are right!  I have discovered that however many packages of Sea Snax I buy is however many will get eaten THAT NIGHT before I go to bed!  I mean, I DEVOUR this stuff!  It’s a little crunchy and a little salty and a little bit like sushi.. what’s not to like?:)

BTW.. you all need to go out and try yourself a bag of Sea Snax.. trust me!:)

4.Owls

I dunno why but ever since I saw a huge white owl fly over my dog and I a couple months ago, and it was such a quiet peaceful moment that I feel like it was a pretty amazing experience, I have been kinda obsessed with owls!  Then, I started following this tumblr:

http://wiseowls.tumblr.com/

and some of the pics they post are soo fuckin cute!

like here is a random pic I took off of their front page.. I don’t even like purses like this, but with the owls on it, it makes it very vintagey, and kitchey, and suddenly, I want it!  What is that?!

Don’t worry guys, I won’t start collecting those crochet owls that everyone has on their walls in the 1970′s, I like kitchey and cheesy, but even I’m not THAT cheesy LOL!

(And I realize this wasn’t my first reference to Tumblr in this blog post.. perhaps my next installment of Things I’m Currently Obsessing Over I will list Tumblr?  Hmm..)

oh yeah, then I was looking for things that are brown+just the right shade of “Tiffany blue” for my living room of my dreams (I say dreams because I can’t afford it rt now, but online window shopping sure is fun!) and I find this pillow..

OMG OMG I think I just creamed my pants, I don’t know why, but I feel like my life won’t be complete until I own this pillow!  Not only is it the PERFECT colors for my living room, but it is fucking awesome!  Amazon says it’s out of stock, but went ahead and I ordered one anyways..amazon doesn’t charge your credit card until they deliver the item so it’s all good.. But rarely have I ever seen an item on amazon go out of stock come back into stock.. (yeah, I’m a mother fuckin amazon expert!:) But I am keeping my fingers crossed because I am starting to become obsessed with owls.. they’re cool!

So.. now I want to hear all about your obsessions.. Have you discovered anything new and cool in your life lately?

Have a great holiday weekend everyone!

This Is Why I Love Sushi

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

This commercial is in Japanese, but it’s quite obvious what they’re trying to say.  If you order any other food BESIDES sushi, the following could happen: You could go to a restaurant where the server call buttons are actually car bombs, you could get beat up by headbutting robots, attacked by killer crabs in your bathtub or baseball players might come out of your pizza!

Better play it safe and just get sushi instead.

I agree, some yellowtail sounds really good right about now..mmmm:)

Anime Expo

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Last weekend I went to the Anime Expo in LA and it was AWESOME!!!  We all talked about it (probably a little too much..now you all what a geek I secretly am hehe!) during my last 2 members webcam shows and I promised you all some pics..so here they are!

One of my fav things that I saw there was this cute little Japanese girl that was singing in Japanese.  She had a crowd of people standing around her stage shaking glowsticks and singing along.  She didn’t know one word of English and had an interpreter.  I think she flew in from Japan just for the show.. me likey!:)  I was mesmerized for a good 5 minutes hehe:)

I have no idea what is going on wit these girls..just a random pic I took that makes me laugh!

If liking sad little Japanese girls is wrong, I don’t want to be right!!:)

I still have some more pics to go thru so if I find some more gems I will def share them!  I plan on posting all of my pics from this weekend in my “personal pics” section also!

I plan on going to ComicCon at the end of the month and I’m putting together some pretty crazy outfits for this one!  (I hear ComicCon is like the Anime Expo times 100…oh boy!  I’m going to be surrounded by cute asian girls in roleplaying outfits..OMG OMG!!)  I tried on my “Japanese Schoolgirl Uniform” during my last members webcam show so if you missed it I suggest you check it out in the archives!  The skirt is so short it’s like a belt hehe:)  I plan on taking a BUNCH of pics there for you guys for sure!

So did everyone have a good weekend?
