  • Welcome to the first vlog in my new apartment!

  • It's not quite apartment-tour ready but I did clean up a little bit

  • So I can show you guys around a little bit today

  • I wanted to say sorry for the lack of videos this month

  • I actually decided to take a little break and go to Korea to visit the cats

  • :3

  • They both look really healthy and happy so that made me feel super relieved

  • I just got back to Japan

  • I haven't even unpacked my suitcase; it's over there

  • I usually take about a week to do it lol

  • Everytime it's like my least favorite thing to do

  • BUT, I had some packages in the mail

  • And one of them is something very exciting

  • If you follow me on Twitter

  • You might have some idea of what this gigantic box is

  • But we will open this together later on today

  • And I also got some new glasses!

  • Which I'm also very stoked about because

  • When I moved from Korea

  • I couldn't bring my glasses collection with me

  • Because I couldn't find a way to pack them lol

  • So I've only had one pair of glasses for the past few months

  • And I'm getting tired of wearing the same ones

  • So I'm stoked to try these on

  • Let's do that right now actually

  • As always, these are from

  • Thank you so much for supporting my channel

  • I honestly don't know what I would do without you guys

  • So I got two pairs of glasses and I got two pairs of sunglasses

  • So they do have this really cool tool on their website

  • Where you can upload a picture of your face

  • And try on the glasses virtually on the website before you order them

  • But because I've ordered from them so many times

  • I have an idea of the kind of glasses that I like for my face

  • So i got a round pair because I'm still loving these round glasses that you see

  • Lots of people in Asia wearing

  • They're really casual so they look nice with just like a hoodie or a t-shirt

  • Probably wouldn't wear them with a suit in like a professional setting

  • But for everyday wear

  • I love these light, round glasses and they're so comfortable

  • Because the frame is just so thin

  • What do you guys think?

  • I'm pretty happy with them

  • For the next pair I thought I would get something...

  • More professional that I could wear with a suit

  • These are actually a smaller frame than I would usually get

  • I kind of like the big, like chunky, nerdy glasses

  • But I thought I would try a smaller pair this time

  • And I'm really happy with them!

  • It's really nice to have a selection of different frames that you can pair with different outfits

  • Next is the sunglasses

  • I'm gonna save the fancy pair for last

  • I actually got a pair of Prada sunglasses

  • GlassesUSA.com has lots of brand name glasses as well as like, their own in house brands

  • And the brand name glasses are just so much cheaper than anything

  • You would find like, in the store in Canada lol

  • Let's try this first pair of sunglasses that I got

  • These aren't the Prada ones

  • Ooh I like these~

  • These are cute!

  • I absolutely love how you can put prescription in any of their glasses or sunglasses

  • I had never owned prescription sunglasses

  • Before I started working with GlassesUSA.com

  • And it just like opened up a whole new world for me

  • Because now when I'm outside in the summer

  • I can see

  • If you have never owned prescription sunglasses treat yourself to a pair

  • They will change your life

  • And now for the Prada ones~

  • Look how fancy this is

  • They can come in their own like, fancy case

  • I went with kind of like a round cat eye design

  • Which I thought was super cute

  • And tortoise shell coloring with a little bit of gold accents

  • Yeah, I like them

  • I feel like when you have really big frames, it makes your face look smaller

  • And I have a really chubby face

  • So I find that these kind of glasses are

  • More flattering on my face?

  • I'll have a link to all these glasses that I order down below in the description box

  • If you guys wanna twin with me

  • Or if you're on the lookout for some new frames do check out GlassesUSA.com

  • Because they have a really nice selection of

  • Affordable glasses and I think you guys will find it really easy to find some frames that will suit your face

  • Okay I want to take you guys outside now

  • Because the weather is just amazing

  • It just started warming up here in Morioka

  • The sakura are blooming

  • I need to take you outside before the weather goes to shit

  • Then when we get back we could open up that giant box in the living room!

  • Because I have been dying to open that

  • I'm so happy the weather is nice now so I could take you guys outside

  • I really am excited to show you this town

  • But I'm actually excited to explore it myself

  • Because even though I've lived here for...

  • Three years! Before

  • I lived in Morioka for three years

  • I didn't get to see much of the town because...

  • For the entire time I was working like crazy

  • Like, everyday all day

  • Uhh, so I really didn't go out much

  • It's gonna be really fun to kind of explore the place with you guys and...

  • Discover new things together :D

  • It's crazy windy today, unfortunately

  • But the sakura are blooming in Morioka and it's just really beautiful

  • It's such a nice walk

  • I live really close to a river

  • So there's a great path for walking or jogging or biking if I eventually get a bike

  • Which I'm planning on soon

  • I was scared that I was gonna miss cherry blossom season while I was in Korea and I almost did lol

  • Because the day I got back I uhh

  • Went outside and I saw that they were already fully blooming

  • And once they bloom they're only around for like

  • A week, unfortunately

  • But yeah, I was super lucky

  • Look at that view, there's a tunnel of cherry blossoms

  • This city is gorgeous

  • Can't wait to show you guys more of it~

  • Alright, it's the moment we've all been waiting for

  • Let's see what's inside this box

  • I don't think I've ever been so excited for a package in my life (heh)

  • As I mentioned in my Q&A video

  • I've really been enjoying decorating my apartment!

  • Especially because I have these really cool looking cement walls

  • Which actually aren't cement

  • They're fake they're like stick on, fake cement plastic walls

  • But the wall just looks really bare

  • So I decided to be an adult and order some "fine art"

  • For the wall, so I hope it looks nice

  • lol xD

  • Oh my god it looks so good

  • This is gonna look so awesome on my wall

  • The only problem is you're not allowed to put holes in Japanese walls

  • So I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna hang this up

  • Let's umm, run down to Daiso actually

  • I'll bring you guys to Daiso with me and I'll see if I can find some kind of stick on...

  • HOOKS!

  • Because the walls are kind of plasticky

  • I feel like I could stick something to it

  • And take it off later on and it wouldn't rip a hole in the wall

  • Unlike these stupid paper walls

  • That you can't do anything with

  • It's so hard to decorate in my place and make it look nice

  • Because I can't put anything on the walls

  • See this room is all paper walls. I can't really do anything with it

  • But, umm, yeah I feel lucky that I have this one...

  • Cement wall that I can make look awesome with my new...

  • ARTWORK!

  • Okay let's go to Daiso

  • These are what I had in mind

  • And I didn't think they would hold up the 6 kilos

  • So these might actually work

  • Yeah these ones, they're for like little things

  • Fingers crossed because if it falls off the wall

  • It's gonna like smash my TV lol

  • This can't possibly be more than six...

  • Kilograms?

  • Apparently I have to like...

  • Melt this adhesive with a lighter for thirty seconds

  • (what is so funny lol)

  • Fuck

  • It's like turning black lol

  • Ooh that little fuck

  • I think I did it right

  • It's kinda weird that it all turns black though?

  • LIke that doesn't seem right lol

  • Shit I think they're slightly crooked

  • But hopefully it won't be too noticeable

  • Ooh~

  • It looks really good!

  • Oh my god

  • Can't believe I did this

  • How awesome is that?

  • My living room just got infinitely cooler lol

  • What a great investment

  • Alright I think it's time to cook some dinner

  • On the way back from my walk today

  • I actually stopped by a cafe that I've been meaning to try for ages

  • And I had a really good taco rice

  • It was a vegetarian taco rice that was made using soy meat

  • And I actually have some soy meat in the cupboard

  • So I'm gonna see if I can replicate...

  • What I had for lunch because it was really, really good

  • Using this

  • So hopefully this turns out well and you guys can try it as well

  • (fuck I'm hungry now)

  • Okay, well that was really easy to make

  • Hopefully it tastes good

  • Just use some taco seasoning if you can get it in your country

  • Or umm, if you're in Japan, I decided to go with the tandoori chicken spice

  • And it smelled just like taco seasoning

  • Pretty sure it's almost...

  • Identical!

  • Mmm!

  • That's pretty nice!

  • It's actually quite similar to the one I had at the cafe for lunch

  • I'm... pretty impressed with myself

  • So if you're looking to try out taco rice, which is actually an Okinawan dish

  • It's really easy to make so try out my recipe and send me pictures if you make it

  • So I'm off to Tokyo tomorrow actually for work for five days

  • I've got an event with Tokyo Creative

  • And I'm gonna film some videos there

  • And I've just got the most insane week planned out

  • I'm doing some crazy stuff for my birthday

  • It was actually my birthday yesterday (happy birthday!)

  • Thank you so much for your birthday wishes

  • But I'm celebrating it this weekend in Tokyo with my friends lol and

  • I think you guys are gonna really enjoy the video

  • And I'm also going to the Pokemon Cafe with my friend Sophie

  • And I have a special guest coming to visit me in Morioka for two days

  • See if you guys could guess who it is in the comments

  • If you're part of my letter club on Patreon

  • And I told you who it was in your letter

  • Don't say anything, keep it a secret

  • Let's see if anyone can guess

  • Yeah, I've got lots of, lots of good stuff coming up

  • I hope you guys are looking forward to it

  • I'm gonna go enjoy my taco rice and I will see you guys a bit later

  • So one of my New Year's resolutions was to start playing the piano again

  • I used to play when I was younger, like a lot younger

  • And I really wanted to get back into it again

  • So I ordered this cheap electronic piano off of Amazon

  • It was the highest rated one that I could get for an affordable price

  • And I'm pretty impressed with it

  • The keys are really heavy, like a real acoustic piano and I like that

  • The only problem is I'm actually not allowed to have instruments in this apartment lol

  • That's a common rule of Japanese apartments

  • Because they're noisy and they bug the neighbors

  • So I've got to play with headphones all the time

  • Which is kind of lame

  • And that means you guys can't listen to me

  • But you can pretend that this is me because...

  • I'm definitely as good as this recording

  • -.-

  • Thanks for watching guys!

  • I hope you enjoyed hanging out with me for the day

  • If you would like to check out my glasses

  • I'll have the links down below in the description box

  • And I will see you again very soon

  • For a very crazy birthday party in Tokyo

  • So stay tuned :)

  • Byeeeeeee!~
