(6) Performance and Music?

I had a total of 3 performances throughout the year 2010:
1. C2AGE performance: a little info > http://sakurazukaminori.blogspot.com/2010/08/blog-post.html
2. Performance at Ya’e Charity Dance Party
3. Comic Fiesta 2010


Initially I had thought that I would only get one chance of performing this year, but somehow luck has bestowed me, I managed to get three chances of performing this year! Although they are some mistakes in every performance, I will definitely improve and charge in to my dreams! I will try my best to get more opportunities in year 2011.


About music, hmm, I guess I could say I’m still a huge fan of The GazettE. When I got the news that Ruki has hurt his vocal chord, I was really worried about him not being able to sing anymore. It’s the worst ever thing that could happen to a vocalist if his voice is taken away. Because of this, Sayoko and I made a promise to go Japan for their concert as soon as possible, preferably December 2011 for their tour final, if possible. I had been their fan for more than 7 years; they have given me hope and the drive to succeed in my dreams. Thanks to Sayoko for introducing them to me, I’m sure that one day we will get to see them performing live!


*Bought Shoxx magazine Jan 2011 issue that had them featured for 18 colour pages ^_^, my first gazette in shoxx that made my day again~. Not to forget my Film Bug II as well, hope Sacchin likes her copy.
I do wish to take up Diploma exam for my piano, if I pass my JLPT N1, so I’ll just keep waiting for the results. As for my guitar, I’ll just keep following my pace, hope to be able to play more of my favourite songs in the near future.

(7) Japanese & Bon Odori 2010

I was lucky to have my mum’s help to get Nakamura Sensei as my Japanese tutor for JLPT1. Nakamura sensei still remembered me, and we both had productive classes throughout my 2 months of preparation. This year’s JLPT new syllabus was very difficult; in fact it is even harder than the previous syllabus. I do not know exactly how am I gonna pass it, but no matter how I will definitely get the cert as it is really important to me.

Just a small announcement, I’m going to start up my Japanese tutoring class next year, I’ll pray that I succeed in this.
Bon Odori 2010 was fun, and tiring at the same time. This time instead of going with my family, I went with Akiko and Sayoko, right after C2AGE. Managed to dance with Sayoko, we had some nice curry rice and green tea ice, and had a great time sitting at the bench chatting with Sacchin ^^.

I wish I could go for Bon Odori 2011 with Akiko and Sacchin again, this time I hope to be able to move around more often (did not do so because my leg was hurting after a long day =_=). Will be praying that Bon Odori 2011 will not be as crowded as the previous time.

(8) Fashion and shopping (wink wink)

Ok, if I really wanted to type this out properly, this blog post might never end, hahaha. Anyway, I’ve been saving up a bit to buy some fashion magazines; learned a lot of tips on how to improve myself on makeups and skin care ^^. As usual, I love to buy magazines around Oct-Dec because it’s Autumn-Winter season in Japan. I get to see many nice fur boots and coats (talk about coat, mum got me a really cool trench coat from MNG ^_^).

I’m always in my never ending throughout the year, I got myself different makeups, different bags and clothes of course. Just slightly few minutes ago I’m looking at some accessories sale in FB. I’m tempted to get myself some cute jewelry (for example the Daisy necklace from Dengeki Daisy). Have been targeting some stuffs from Bodyline jp as well, such as the fur leg warmers and boots.


Oh and year 2010 is the year when I got all the perfumes and body care stuffs that I wanted, thanks to mum of course. I bought myself a Bodyshop Cherry Blossom perfume, mum got me Estee Lauder’s Beautiful and Loccitanne’s Cherry Blossom perfume (comes with body lotion and shower gel ^^). Mum got me a whole set of Loccitanne hand cream as well (6 in a set) during the return flight from Vietnam.
I just hope one day a lump of cash will appear in front of me and I could buy stuffs that I love without thinking =_=.
