Two Blog posts in a year, yikes! For anyone still reading this, thank you once again for sticking around this terrible, terrible blogger. This post doesn't even have pictures sadly! Mostly because I'm on mobile and don't have access to wifi and my laptop. Basically all my photo updates are via instagram, and even that is sporadic at best.
。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。
The only good excuse I can give you all is that life and school and work have all been kicking my ass. I'm still in school learning Japanese and still working towards my degree. I'm in the middle of a big move, and things in my life are changing. I've been working on my weight loss for over a year and have managed to lose 45lbs. That's a big number for me but I still have very far to go in order to reach my ideal goals.
Where does the time go? I feel like I never have enough time to pursue my hobbies and yet half the time I feel bored out for my brain? I think it's a lack of good scheduling on my part!
What do you all do to schedule your busy lives and still find times to indulge your happiness?
I'll leave you with a small gets photo, before I post it on Instagram!
Bye bye for now!
040: Winter Update & Style inspirations
Hi Everyone! I hope this autumn/winter season is treating everyone well! The weather is finally turning in LA just a little bit, and I'm so happy that I can FINALLY begin to look at sweaters and boots again. It was so hot, for so long that I'm relishing this bit of nippy cold. As long as don't catch anything, let the wind blow and the temperature drop! Lol.
It's now finals time for my Japanese class, and my teacher is really pushing me to get that A. I was going to be content with a B, but now that I'm so close to an A, I really want it! I've been studying my kanji, but I need to really grill it into my head. If I get at least 40 points on the kanji test and score a 70% on the final, I'll have my A. After our last class, everyone is going out to eat and have a good time, I can't wait. Wish me luck everyone!
In more exciting news, I recently went back to the doctor's office at the beginning of this November and the nurse told me, I've lost 42 pounds since spring! I couldn't believe it, and I almost asked the nurse to reweigh me! The journey hasn't been easy, I can say that much. There are times when I really want to eat certain foods and in certain amounts, but I have to exercise my will power muscle. Sometimes, I'm even met with opposition, and there are times when I feel terrible because I'm still far from where I want to be, but still I'm really proud of my weight loss, and I want to kick it up into a higher gear and make my body even healthier and better!
Finally, I wanted to end this post with some Autmn/Winter style inspirations and looks I'm definitely feeling. Most of these are from stores such as DreamV, Plumprimo, and Paris Kids, and some are just winter looks I love!
Outfits
Accessories
As you can see my style is a bit all over the place, but I think it has an overall theme going of being very feminine, a little colorful and absolutely cute! I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving holiday with those you love and I'll see you next time!
033: Autumn Updates
Follow my blog with BloglovinWow, two updates within the same, year, I'm practically on a roll! -laughs-
Well this is again another what's going on with me, as I was bitten to post this morning with my spare time before going work.
Recently, I've checked back into school. It was a very scary thing for me to do, because of a bunch of other life things going on, but then I thought, I have to do it sooner or later, and I need to make something of my life because my youth is fleeting FAST. I'm taking it very slow for now, doing one class at a time. I want to do my best so I need to focus. It's been a little bit fulfilling knowing that I'm improving myself. I can't go back and change the past or the lost time, but I can do the best with what I have right now! Everyone, please wish me luck in school. I'm hoping it will also help my social life by meeting new people with my similar interest.
The next on my list is a car and driver's license.
I'm still at the job I detest, but I'm gradually starting to learn to let the small things go. My biggest gripe with the place is how little it pays for the amount of work I have to put out, but I still somehow manage to pay all my bills, and keep my head above water.
Other than that, I've been working on dieting steadily. Nothing crazy or special, I just massively reduced my portions, added far more fresh fruit and vegetables, changed how I cooked my food and majorly upped my water intake. I mean of course I still treat myself and sin with the food on occasion, but I think we all do. I really love cooking my own meals, and trying new recipes! I can see results too in my clothing, and that really makes you feel good. Hopefully in about two years I'll have reached my max goal.I lo
I know people are looking forward to October and Halloween but I'm ready to fast forward to Nov and Dec already!
Recently, I've been way into the latest Pretty Cure season. Go! Princess Precure. If you know me, you know I'm a sucker for magical girls and the aesthetics and Go! Princess Precure does not fail to deliever!
I love all the wonderful cures, but I think Cure Mermaid (take a guess which one she is. HINT: BLUE) is my favorite! I just wish they could have given her better hair. Also, one thing I really love about the show is how they treat their friends who don't have magic! -GLARES AT YOU 90s SAILORMOON- It's so beautiful, I won't get into too much detail, but just watch the show! I've also been collecting the toys, but I'll save that for another post.
Finally, I'll end this post with some gets! Everything is basically from my instagram, so follow me there for more frequent updates!
As you can see, my love for the kawaii never changes. I don't think it ever will. I'll be the worlds oldest kawaii grandma with a hello kitty cane.
Okay, that's all I have time for with this post today! I'll see you all soon, (hopefully!)

032: Look an update!
Hello, for anyone still around! I'm going to update this blog with a big gets post. I mean might as well dive right back into it. Still working on changing things in my life for the better, and hoping that all works out.
I still love (old) gyaru, fairy kei, lolita, and all that weeby jazz, so that much of me hasn't changed. Just got back from AX, and I've been collecting Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter merchandise along with random magical girl and cute idol girl items.
Unfortunately, I seem to update my instagram more than anything else, so feel free to look over there for pictorial updates!
I love these Sailormoon gashapons!
Okay, see you guys next time.

031: Long over due
So as I type this it's 3:09 am, so forgive me if I'm incoherent or ramble on a little bit. I wanted to make a quick post on here to update a few things about my life, and the blog.
I finally got my laptop working again a few months ago, and I always meant to make a post about it but it didn't happen. Months went by, and before I knew it we were in November with no update on this blog. I don't know how long this hiatus was, maybe 5 months? 6? Too long regardless.
I still find myself in an environment that restricts my time, and space. I procrastinate so much with posts because I want them to be perfect, but in the end I come out with nothing, because I can't get it to look exactly the way I want to. I find I do that a lot with life as well unfortunately. In a perfect world, I would get to update my blog weekly with amazing things for everyone to see, but as time has shown us, I'm lucky if I can get monthly posts in.
Does this mean I want to quit blogging? Absolutely not. Although the blog world I submerged myself in when I first started has dwindled significantly, I still enjoy it. I love reading up on my favorite bloggers, looking at their photos, hearing about their lives and gathering inspiration from them in one way or another. When I started MWH that was the goal I set out to have. I wanted to inspire people, have fun, and make friends. That's still my goal, but I have to figure out the way to go about it where I can do it consistently. I've made wonderful friends through blogging, and had a lot of experiences I would not have if it hadn't been for MWH.
But at a certain point, blogging also got burdensome. I would find myself with many many posts all queued up, but I would never post them because I never get around to finishing them. I also felt as if I was in this unspoken competition with god knows who, to always have more stuff. More clothes, more make up, more kawaii-whatever, just more, more, more, more at it became too much. Photographing every singular purchase, keeping things in storage for months because I hadn't photographed them for the blog was ridiculous, and the longer I went without making a post the more daunting a task it became.
Now that I've had months to just do things without having to worry about an audience, I found that I missed blogging terribly. Even if I have a little hole-in-the-net blog, that only a handful of people know about, it was mine. I was expressing myself and my interested the way I wanted to.
Anyway! Where does that leave us? Well, I definitely want to come back to blogging, I've been thinking about how I should return, if I can just pick up where I left off. I definitely want to host a giveaway for things I've been hoarding for a while as a way of saying thank you to all the people who stuck around.
I'm never going to change this layout though. LOL

Still alive again!
This blog hasn't been abandoned!
As usual I am having technical difficulties.ヽ(#`Д´)ノ
A while back my laptop fan went out, and the repair is ex$pen$ive. In slightly better news I was able to purchase a digital camera! So when I do return no more crappy phone pictures!
In the meantime please feel free to check out my instagram, or send me emails if you want. I miss everyone! Bye bye
For the blogger who is still alive, still alive!
Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well and you're excited for the holiday season! This is just a post to let everyone know that yes, I am alive and kicking, and despite the terribly long hiatus, I have no intention of abandoning this blog! I actually have a ton of post I'm working on starting from anime expo and summer matsuri, to a large haul of autumn and winter items, make up, and more!
I'm looking forward to a week long vacation, and catching up on everything! I want to thank you all for sticking with MWH even through this long unannounced hiatus, it really means so much to me!
Take care everyone, and I'll definitely be updating soon!
