Just a quickie...........

Wah, I've been super busy this week! So I'm just listing things really quick!

Sunday's SF JE Meetup went really well! Peyton and I had a blast organizing the event! We gave out omiyage to them in the form of official JE Shop photos I picked up while in Japan. :D Their favorite JE member/group. We ate lunch at the yummy Juban Yakiniku Restaurant. SO YUMMY. We also did PuriKura and the mad purikura scramble when I yelled "SWITCH!". It was great fun. Karaoke was also amazing! We had such rockstars in our midst to liven things up in our room. I hope to see you rockstars again at the next meetup!

Afterwards, we came back to San Jose for some delicious food at Izakaya! MMMMMM. NOM NOM NOM. We even had Otokoyama sake. Peyton didn't realize that Jin's dog in Yukan Club was also named after a alcoholic brand! :D Now she does and she likes their light and slightly dry Ginjo. Umaaaaai!

Work sucks. I'm still behind and they gave me a ton of things to work on. I've been working overtime like mad to catch up. And WHY WON'T THEY STOP CANCELLING MY FIX OF THE SYSTEM! I've been trying to resynch my live and shadow boxes before I left for Japan after the other dept's incredible muck up and I'm still trying now. Hopefully, it'll all be done by Friday morning. *grumbles*

Bridesmaid dress is altered! The halter was too long but now it's not! :D All I need is shoes to match. Probably my sparkly white heels. I just got sparkly hair pins to match everything since I'm doing my own hair. No way am I going to pay for an overpriced updo in Hollywood.

Am packing for the wedding! I have almost everything ready. I just had my red highlights retouched earlier tonight. Nails, facial, and eyebrows are going to be done tomorrow. Then all is left is to fly out for the rehearsal dinner. veilsdegto, I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! TWO MORE DAYS.

Any of my flist still into BPAL? I just culled through everything I have and am going to sell most of it off. I can't wear that much perfume and I don't want them to go to waste. If interested, check this post out. I am not charging anyone one my flist shipping. :D Buy my stuff, plz.

Pictures of Days 3 and 4 will be up soon! I still have to write up my concert reports but that will have to come after the wedding.

Wine party tomorrow night! I am excited to see purelica and the rest of our friends and indulge in a glass or two of wine. Maybe it will help me go to bed earlier than 2am.

I need to start this week's jesummary. :x

I also need to finish up the bridal party invites for the other wedding I'm in. wahhh, so many weddings!

Jaejoong, Jin, Junsu.....all made my week even better.

I may have made more work for myself. But more details on that later.

How are all of you?

Pictures galore!

Next picture post of my Japan 2008 trip!

Ummm, I'll be honest. I am not going to do a write up on the Kanjani8 concert in Fukui until after the wedding on Saturday. a;lskfj;laskf need sleep! But I will write one! I promised someone I would on all three but for now, you get pictures! (Sorry for the HUGE picspam post. It'll take a few moments to load.)

( Day 3 - Fukui to Kyoto )

Day 4 was spent entirely in Kyoto going to various temples. mousaPi and Shabz graciously allowed me to tailor the day of sightseeing to the temples I wanted to see. So I wanted to show them Kiyomizudera in the early light because it is beautiful in the calm dawn. Then Heian Jingu, recommended to me by sandpanther. I wanted to try and hit up Yasaka Jinja if we had time before meeting up with Ilana, alissa & co and going off to see Kinkakuji and Ryoanji but we weren't able to.

Still, I think Day 4 was one of my favorite days of all on this trip. Despite everyone calling me Leader. Leader janai!

Temples in order visited!

After all the temples, we were tired and hungry. So we headed back to Kyoto Station and decided to eat at one of the restaurants in Porta, the underground mall connected to Kyoto Station. We ended up at a okonomiyake place where we all tried okonomiyake for the first time along with takoyaki. SO GOOD. I didn't take any pictures since, in my hunger, I forgot and just enjoyed the meal. :D

We then shopped for a bit in Porta before parting ways, tired and full of delicious food.


Gah, that took longer than I thought! Sleep time. More pictures to come!
