My 23rd Birthday!
My birthday this year was pretty quiet compared to last year. Because of clashing schedules and not as much cash on me, I couldn't hang out with people like that, so I saved up just enough to go out with some of my lovelies that I barely see. Most notably my friend Ashley who now lives in Tokyo.
Originally we were supposed to hang out the night before my birthday, but apparently derpiness ensued, along with a very jacked up train system that left me waiting for hours just for no one to show up. I was pretty aggravated over it, but as always, it was the MTA's fault-- and we ended up meeting another day.
Of course that didn't stop me from camwhoring when I got home.
Mmmmmm yiiiiiiiss. ♥
Derpy posing. This was my outfit for the night.
Onepiece - Yumetenbo; tights, belts, shoes, bracelets and everything else is offbrand
And then I slipped into this hot pink dress that ended up... kind of being a splurge item... I gave into temptation while I was at F21.
That cutout. unf
Makeup detail. I applied them a bit wrong but they weren't too bad.
Bottom lashes were my fairy lashes, with the small ends of my Diamond Princess lash at the very ends.
The morning of my birthday I woke up to find that Omi made me a heart-shaped carrot cake..
And it was all for myself, if my morning facial expressions didn't say enough.
My morning chunk. This is exactly why I'm fat.
My actual birthday I didn't do much. I slept in for the day, and then I went to visit my family at my mom's house for a while, talked with my sister, before I left for church.
The next evening however was when I -finally- met back up with Ashley and Rio~
we went to Hakata Tonton, where I had shabushabu for the first time ♥
The pot as it was warming up
MEEEEEAT
We ordered edamame, and avocado tofu, which was surprisingly good. I was never really a fan of tofu before but I guess my tastes are changing around
I also ordered some okonomiyaki which was a must for me-- their okonomi was REALLY good, but I was kind of surprised with the serving. I'm so used to the huge pancakes that every other place serves, that I was kind of disappointed by this smaller, square meatloaf-looking thing they gave me. It was really good though, it packed a lot of flavor.
At some point I started browsing Ash's purikura book... and took pictures xD
her and her Japanese bff Yuminyan ; w;
More puri of her and Shiena and Love Gals~ ♥ one day I'll be there too~
She also gave me her extras ; o; which I will fill up my little book with
After we were done with food, we went next door to the West Village Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, which was MUCH roomier than their first store in the East Village.
Their cute cartoon unicorn mascot~
lol fabulously-dressed MLP statuettes occupying shelf spots on the wall~
While they were touching up makeup and whatnot, I got myself a peanut butter chocolate shake~ which was good as always, a bit less rich than it used to be, and no more strawberry jelly shot :c oh well
From then on we roamed... went to St. Mark's, got Ashley's tongue pierced, and then roamed our way right back until we headed to the trains home. It was really good seeing Ashley again since it's been two years. I wish I was able to hang out with her more, but hopefully we'll be able to catch up when I finally get myself to Tokyo. ♥

New Additions
Monday I had went to the BGICT because Doug said there'd be a special surprise:
Fortunately I just wore my MAR*S bow xD The weather was too meh, my hair was definitely a no-fly zone, so I decided not to do loli. Sported my sundress, my MAR*S bow, simple and cute - w-
The special surprise was Anthony Bourdain.
(Hurr, look at me with the tard bow in front of him)
...
...
You know I didn't know this dude xDDD;
He's an American chef/author/TV Personality apparently, having had his own shows 'Kitchen Confidential', 'Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations', and appeared on Top Chef and Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman, among his many books and accomplishments.
Maybe I should be watching food shows more often.
Anyways, apparently they were filming for a new show series, I forgot what it was going to be called, just that the episode being filmed was basically him going to places that he'd choose if he was in NYC for 24 hours. I think it's gonna be on the Discovery channel. Anyways, I know BGICT will announce when the episode's gonna air.
Since I was in front of him, I got my ice cream before him = w=
Doug: What can I do for you, sweety ;3
Me: I'm broke. What can you give me xD
Doug whipped me up a deluxe Bea Arthur (deluxe being in the waffle coneeee :3) BADASS. It was my first time having it, it was good, though honestly I love my quirky tasting ice creams over a seemingly-simple ice cream with nutella, dulce de leche and graham cracker topping. Next time I'll probably try the Gobbler, since Monday Sundae is kind of similar to the Bea Arthur.
When I got my cone and started walking away, I got stopped by one of the camera crew, who asked me to basically stand behind Anthony and eat my ice cream, since I didn't really know him, but I was visually appealing with mah bow and stuff xD So I signed a model release form and assumed my position in the background, this bright, pink negro behind him absent-mindedly nomming on some ice cream xDD
Hoping that I was actually angled right so they could see my bow, and now just durp and me being a fat ass.
Anyways, after that I went right back into Brooklyn, to visit my new niece Ashanti who just got home ♥
SO SOFT AND VELVETY FEELING AND SQUISHY AND HNGHH D8
She got her dad's nose, our grandfather's eyes, and Cedelia's lips and light skin (is it bad I'm hoping she gets darker though? I'm tired of all these yellow folks in my family xD)
Her mommy changing her. I'm honestly surprised that Cedelia wasn't as exhausted as I thought she'd be. xD She was pretty normal, besides backaches and cramps and whatnot.
She don't like being changed. lolo
We all know she's gonna act like a diva - w- I have a feeling me and her is gonna be going at it in the future lol.
♥♥♥♥♥
