New layout is sooo cool! And I feel Animoish! Black, white and green!
Anyway, hello hello hello!
Finally, another long long entry and I think it is fine because its been a while since I did a long one. The country, despite all of the dangers and calamities we have been facing, has recovered in small steps. Thanks to all your help everyone and we appreciate it!

Now, time for some updates. While I still have some work in line, I think I can spare some time to edit my blogs (will be updating Kouryou as well to include some posts for my collection). December has been quite hectic as expected, especially in work as I gotten the long ones. The hard work paid off and pretty much enabled me to do some bills paid and so on :)
As far as life concerned, been lazy still but with the end of 2013, I’ll probably make progress :))
Monday, December 16, I went out to see my sister’s buddy and somewhat sister in Illinois Heather, who is in the country for a wedding and slight vacation before Xmas. As she has a couple of things for me to retrieve, I went to see her and also do a couple of requests for my relatives in the US. Twas a fun day and pretty much hectic one because of the commuting stint. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it. Some photos below and some comments as to what happened.
We all ate in the first branch of Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen in Shangri-la Mall East Wing, which is also the first time I’ved been to the newly opened wing of the famed mall.
Had been able to try their signature Tonkotsu Ramen. It is quite different with Santouka Ramen since this one filled me up to the bone and its quite heavy. Heather’s cousins and Heather made the experience quite amusing because she ordered a feast for all of us.
After an amusing feast, a trip on the sausage-like MRT, and a quick haircut, managed to get this limited Oreo Mega Stuf from the booth of The Food Bin
First Christmas Gift for the year, coming from my sister in the US. The one she gave me is the limited version of the Hobbit Moleskine (the one on the left). I am not so sure as to how she knew about it but here it is. I am saving it alongside my other super rare moleskine which I also got this year. HURRAH!

Fast tracking to today, December 19, so many other things also happened. I ended up enjoying my usual One Piece episode reruns and gotten some loot I am expecting from my local distributor. Photos would be up in Kouryou but since this is my blog, this one was included in the stash.
Gotten Cafe Florian’s Imperial Earl Grey and Venetian Mosaic Tea (tried out the Imperial one, it tastes slightly strong than the regular Earl Grey) and tea biscuits and tea caddy spoon from Karel Capek Japan (havent opened it yet but I will order their teas soon)
Cafe Florian has branches in the UK and in Venice and has an online store. If you are in Japan and can read Japanese, Karel Capek has several branches in Japan and online shops in Amazon (JP) and Rakuten
Not using the typical Starbucks planner this year since I found this super unique and beautiful planner called Hobonichi Planner from Arts & Science Japan. Currently, they have an english version (the one I am using now) and can be purchased online. They also sell several covers to match your style, mine is called skyful blue
Will do a review for my Hobonichi Planner soon. For now, will be blogging on Kouryou for my other posts! See you guys again soon!
