Hopeless Romantic under the dim light

Hello, hello!

It's been so long since I've updated this blog...

I've been just too much of a workaholic over the past few... weeks... months... yes months.

Today is 31st of October and it's the birthday of the most beloved, important person of mine.

We are far apart but let me wish you a wonderful, blessed day from Tokyo, Japan♡

I have been chasing my dream, as well as working hard lately.

When you find a living purpose, living everyday becomes much more meaningful and simple.

Because you know exactly what you want, and what you don't need...♡

Anyway!

I am excited to announce that

I have been collaborating with this amazing blogger team from Italy - Not Only Mama

I write blogs in English and Japanese, and Not Only Mama makes it into Italian as well!

How wonderful! Italian - Japanese blogs :)♡　You can't find many of them!

Wine red is always my favorite in Autumn and Winter...♡

And flower print long skirts is ... my thing♡

It's everybody's thing! Of course!

It's so hard to find a perfect skirt though, need a couple of them for the winter♡

As well as I love wine red...

I am deeply in love with knit sweaters♪

Winter's necessity!

Everytime I go to Yoyogi park, I see trees in different colours.

The whole view is different. It's really romantic.

The sunlight shining through from different directions.

The leaves are sometimes thin- sometimes so heavy that sunlight doesn't come through-

Nature is wonderful.

Next month will be the businest month of this year.

Then December is a ... PARTY♡

Of course it is! It is every year. It must be.

The year is almost ending... it's surreal.

May the rest of your year be filled with wonder and joy♡

I love you all, good night for me, have a great time to all of you♡

Roses are red

Hello world!

I am addicted to beautiful flowers these days.

May was a rose month.

Such a shame I didn't get to go see the rose gardens but I will on this coming Saturday...

Hope to still be able to see them♡

This morning I was walking to work and bumped into this beautiful thing♡

How relaxing!

They are eye medicines♡

Sharing happiness♡

I have been starting to think about studying to get some certificate,

like... something related to finance or business...

just in my spare time... :)

Hope this year will be awesome as always♡

Gorilla coffee update

My favorite, our favourite.

Everyone's favorite coffee - Gorilla coffee

I really love the black and white tables they have.

Black, white, marble, repeat.

My table needs a flower.

I was looking for peonys on the way back home today and

none of the flower shops around had them...

Maybe not the season? or they don't grow in Japan?

Writing about Gorilla coffee every now and again but,

I go there too often that I need to update the photos sometimes.

Last night my crush said to me some cutest things.

So my Friday was even better than what Friday should be like.

#HopelessRomantic all the way♡

He promised me last night he will model for my photos too~♡

#Crushinframe

yay♡

Anyway.

Tomorrow I am seeing my bestie for the first time in ages!

So excited and we are going to some wonderful places♡

Can't wait!

Hope I can find a peony by the time I see her :) She likes flowers

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♡

Crush and Filbert steps.

Filbert steps.

Such a sophisticated large cafe at the corner of a block near Yoyogi park.

I have always fancied of coming here but they don't have eat-in food ( do they? )

not that I know of, so I haven't been there to sit and eat yet.

They are what is so attractive about this cafe!

Coffee Geek Friendly! Jar! Rawr!

I saw these on a magazine and it was my dream to find this place and buy them.

( I haven't yet... I will, I will. )

On a really sunny day,

my crush texted me asking if I was free for lunch.

It is always sunny when we meet, like no exception ever.

The whole week could be rainy but still that one day we meet is sunny.

Unbelievably, I am so sure he can control the weather.

I was already eating lunch though I said I was near him and we met up

then it was so sunnyyyy♡

( Of course! Us together the sun always shines! )

And even balloons smile when he is there.

( I am a hopeless romantic apparently. )

These balloons weren't there the next day even though it wasn't raining!

I am sure they came out to see him♡

( Mmmm so in love even though I am not even his girlfriend♡Ha...ha.... *looks away* )

I had to go back to work, we were walking up the street and...

I realized

"Hey! I just remember that I have to grab a coffee! Can we go to that store?"

He was like ...? Okay?

He is a coffee lover who is trying not to drink coffee so much

( He drank app 10 cups a day so he tries not to now. ugh, more than me. )

We grabbed a... Ethiopian? I can't believe I can't remember the origin of the beans, I was just too in love ( Sorry! )

coffee, they were really good that I keep on wanting to go back there everyday but it has been raining over the past couple days that I couldn't...

This week finally I should be able to again ( without him would the sun comes out says hi? )

So I am thinking of grabbing a coffee there again, maybe chill there for a while this time :)

Coffee could be so special when you have it with someone so special.

Cafe provides you a very special time for you and your company though... coffee does that too.

Beautiful memory, hope I can bump into him again and have a coffee together♡

Mmmm it turned out to be just a hopeless romantic blog! Sorry!

I can't wait for the cafe date with my bestie again on this Sunday!

Stay tuned for the report♡

I will report well♡
