Roses are red and...

Good evening!

Firstly, just a note to self though

we just had a magnitude8.5 / intensity5+ earthquake hitting Ogasawara islands

( which is located in the middle of the ocean, a bit down south of Tokyo )

and my place was in the most intense area so...

doors opened, cups and vases fallen and clothes and yoga matt (lol) fell as well.

I wonder what will happen when it hits 6 or above...

Self diary*

Anyway!

Recently I remembered that May was the "Rose" month.

Roses bloom in May predominantly and I totally forgot about that until a couple days ago.

And today I had a day off so I went for a walk to a big rose garden.

There were still roses, but not many of them and instead

there were more hydrangeas blooming near them♡

Those white ones are called Annabel I think♡

Big chunk and look really good♡

It must have been a rose heaven this month...

shame I didn't realize until today but at least it was really relaxing and loved the walk there♡

Beautiful little white roses♡

They are perfect for my crush♡ ( #HopelessRomantic )

Hydrangeas are beautiful too, rainy flower.

Rainy season coming and wonder how bad it would be

I want to stay home and watch movies and read books♡

I love stormy night...

Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful day/night.

When life gives you lemons...

Spending weekend at home watching movies... or comedy... or whatever, drama series

everything is perfect when it's spent with coffee and a piece of awesome cake.

Of course it is.

Well it's a long story but my crush basically said no to my asking-out recently

and I was going to cry through the whole weekend but then

ELLEN ARRIVED. ( Ellen DeGeneres DVDs that I have ordered on Amazon weeks ago. )

No way I would spend my weekend crying and doing nothing, I would watch ELLEN. ( tough girl! )

Ellen has always helped me feeling better and made me laugh anywhere, anytime of my life.

( Laughter is the best medicine! )

I watched her comedy on YouTube every night to put myself asleep but I don't need to do that anymore! I feel so close to Ellen having this big picture of her on the DVD case I have just received. I am such a fan.

And I found this gorgeous necklace in a store I happened to pop in the other day.

I thought it would go great with my ZARA shirt♡

I am now absolutely in love with this style I have seen on a store display

I need that skirt, I need that nekclace and I need that shirt and I need to go to that store.

Keep dreaming girls... shopping is fun.

I have been gaining blog access recently and I am so happy that I have not even cried once over my crush!

I am so blessed, you know.

I will keep being #HopelessRomantic at everything♡

Have a fancy week ahead.

Love

Kick start of a long weekend

Good evening from Japan.

The most exciting thing about the long weekend holiday was the sleep over at my besties

even though we are great friends, we don't really get to spend two days together in a row so

and it turned out to be great!

We met at Omotesando station and went to Urth Caffe Omotesando.

I went there once when they just opened a store there and we thought it would be crazy packed but we could grab seats in the backyard.

Nice view♡

Even nicer view♡

We worked hard,

Mina has just started working in Japan for the first time in her life and

I got so much to do at work this year and...

we were exhausted, in a great way.

It was a huge break for both of us.

It was obviously a great breakfast and

the place was so... so relaxing.

Just didn't wanna get out.

That's how we started our incredible two day holiday♡

Aw how I miss it already!

I have been thinking about what exactly this blog is about and what category it belongs to

and I didn't think it belongs to fashion blog category or lifestyle blog category...

It is to me a blog of me blabbing all about my crush and how I am still mad in love with him after 4 months of just talking and just meeting every now and again and nothing happening.

I think I will be still talking about him for another few months, and this is where I let it all out I guess.

So... I call it either a #HopelessRomantic blog, or my-crush-and-I blog maybe.

I like to be inspired by all the fashionistas and lifestyle bloggers on instagram are just absolutely amazing and it's bliss to be able to interact with them.

But I am just a girl next door who is just fancying this guy who definitely isn't a Prince Charming or provides you a perfect movie romance, and I am loving it.

I am not a romance or lover addicted person at all.

This is the first time I fall for somebody in 5,6 years and I am feeling like a teenager again.

A workaholic 24 years old Japanese girl ( who has grown up in Australia ) now, going totally crazy for a 32 years old Japanese hair dresser, isn't that interesting? I find it is.

Well... I would appreciated it so much, if you could wish me good luck♡

Early Morning Glory

There is this friend of mine

who I met when we were 2, and hung out until 10 ish

then we didn't for ages... and

we got back in touch for the first time after 15 years ish recently.

He apparently works far away but he was back home for a couple days so

we caught up casually in the morning at 4 and drove to the harbor.

Random drive!

We literally didn't meet for years so I didn't know what he was doing but

he said he takes photos too so... we were hanging around doing some photos there.

Hmm sunrise♡

Cardigan : Forever21

Tops : ZARA

Jeans : ZARA

Accessories : Bershka and forever21

This is my favorite place to see the sunrise.

We often come here for the first sunrise of the year, I think I did in 2014.

Morning high.

This area is called Minatomirai.

Which is a part of Yokohama and Yokohama is my birth city so...

Basically it's like my home town!

I used to come here every week and hung around myself for hours...

just like walking around for 7 hours with my camera- or even without it. I am purely in love.

We all need that Heineken, don't we?

That always makes me pose next to it and take some tourist photos.

( I've done that a couple times ehehe )

Beautiful sunrise and... the morning glory I am deeply in love.

( The best spot to see the sunrise is Osanbashi-Bridge, check it out when you are up there! )

How I wished I didn't need to go to work afterward.

Waking up at 3 and finishing work at 6pm. huh.

Well I did it.

Photographers~♡

I am 5 foot 3 short/162cm.

My grandfather is a photographer and I use canon camera.

I work full time at the office.

I mostly wear pink and white and a bit of blue♡

A little bit about myself:)

Thanks for reading♡

Holy-Day at Canal Cafe

Hello there! Good evening from Japan.

Japan has these amazing random holidays around April-May ( a lot of them. )

and today it was a normal Wednesday and a holiday so

it was a time for my bestie and I to hang out to explore Tokyo!

Canal Cafe next to Iidabashi station.

It's a riverside cafe that I have dreamt of coming!

We waited a bit but patient Mina

"That's all right we can wait."

And we waited in a line.

It was a beautiful cafe, more beautiful than I have expected actually.

I have read about this cafe on my favorite blog though,

it was stunning, surrealistic even.

And how many years have I dreamt of having someone leaning on this fence thingy

looking out at the river in front of me,

and taking photos of them!

Such a dreams come true day.

Bitter sour iced coffee.

( My expression level; bitterness. )

Only if Tokyo rivers were more blue or transparent.

It was just deep green so, well, um it's good to see, not very photogenic.

That was also one of my dreams to stick my feet out of the fence and touch the water...

( Couldn't quiet reach the water... but they were close, to the boat. )

Pink♡

I am a white loving girl but I always think I like pink as well.

Well... it I was to pick between blue and pink I would definitely pick pink straight away anyway.

Today's ootd was a casual white-pink outfit ( mostly from Japanese stores. )

Pink gaucho pants : Auntie Rosa ( My fav clothes store. )

Accessories : Forever21 and Bershka

Tops and hat unknown but they are loose and white.

Today was a wonderful day.

We have two working days ahead and then we have a looong weekend holiday coming up!

Exciting! Thanks to May!

Happy Spring!

♡

Anna
