Another Pittsburgh Trip

It was another double date, but this time with Misaki and Joe about a month ago!

First we went to the Ross Park Mall so I could show it to Misaki, and in the makeup section of Macy's (I think that was where we were) a Japanese lady who worked there came up to Misaki and started talking to her! She seemed excited to be meeting other Japanese people, and to be able to speak her own language while she was at work. She and another girl who worked there complemented my Japanese inspired style (I was wearing a cute Gunne Sax dress)

After that, there was this fancy chocolate stand, and they were giving out free samples of whatever you wanted to try, and the lady gave a small piece and was advertising how you only need a small piece to fully appreciate the flavor of this chocolate, so I jokingly said, 'Oh, I bet I could still eat the whole thing!' cuz I'm a fatty who loves sweet things too much, and she said that I should just go eat a Snickers...whatever pretentious chocolate lady, I was just trying to make conversation and joke a bit XD It was good, but I didn't want to buy any after that...


Sooooo we went to Sweets From Heaven and got a bunch of candy there! They had all kinda of different gummies, and a whole section with different Japanese candy.






And then we went to the Ramen Bar! Someday I will try the other restaurants on that street...

Gyoza! Their dipping sauce was wrong though DX

Curry ramen
Ajo (garlic) ramen

We did go to a cute Korean bakery in the same area called Pink Box because I always want macarons and they were open late on Sunday XD They actually said that I couldn't take pictures, and I didn't realize, but then they said it was ok.










Then we ended the night with a trip to the Mt. Washington Overlook

Morgantown Halloween 2016

Hello! I have some posts from a while ago that I still am working on, but I wanted to post my Halloween post not too long after Halloween, since I told some people about my blog when I took their pictures.

Some of my closest friends I met in Japan visited me recently (their first time in WV), and I want to post about that soon too!

♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡

I worked my university job the first part of the weekend, so here are some pictures I took of students passing by!  I also briefly stopped by the Japanese club's party because it was in the same building as work.  Some of these are my friends and some are just strangers whose costumes I thought were cool!




Puppy Snapchat filter

Anna from Frozen


Aurora from Sleeping Beauty


They were giving out candy, and gave me some when I took their picture!


Baby Doll from Sucker Punch

Chiyo Sakura from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun

And my own bunny maid costume from Bodyline


Then I took Saturday off because it was my turn to party at Arianna's!

I have the cutest friends ♡






And here's the makeup I did for Takeru's cool skeleton costume

Blog: Cheat River Trip with Misaki

Ahhhh so many posts I'm behind on D= Stupid school getting in the way of fun... Anyway, this summer day was so much fun! I better post it before it gets too cold outside XD

♡❤♡❤♡

My friend Misaki was allowed to invite one friend to come with her to her host family's Labor Day Cheat River picnic, so she asked me!






We wandered around the lake and took pictures of each other, nature, and wildlife.  We found a frog, a butterfly, buckeyes, wild flowers, maybe a tomato plant, tadpoles, and a turtle and I taught her many new English words












We also played with and helped the kids collect snails and whatever else they found in the water




Then we had food and smores!



And last but not least, they let me DRIVE (not just ride) a four wheeler! I have been on one once before in high school (a horrible, gross, muddy experience that I felt was a required thing to try in WV) but I never thought anyone would let me drive one! I don't even have a driver's license! Anyway, it was fun and no one died, and I'm glad Misaki got to at least have this experience while she's here XD
