Today we had a Christmas party (*’v’*)♪♪

 

 

For people here, the parties start in the afternoon, it seems lots of people say the night is just for drinking!

 

Everyone since this afternoon ate loーーーーーーーーts!
so much they already can’t eat when it’s night!

 

When I asked my host Mama, it seems this is how Kiwi‘s do Christmas!
(Kiwi are New Zealand people♡)

 

The New Zealand Christmas menu was
skin steamed new potatoes,
green peas,
Christmas ham, and
turkey, these are a base, but seems other things may be different depending on the family♪♪♪

 

 

 

My home was…

 

o0480048013169423828.jpg

 

Like this~!
Potato salad, omelettes, lamb, Christmas Ham, and seafood salad♡

 

On the plate is crackers!!
Everyone in front of food grabs then with a Paーーーn!
But, how we did it was new!

 

o0480048013169423661.jpg

 

Like this, everyone holds it, and then seーno! we pull, and the person who gets the goodies in it is lucky♡

 

Aika got the goodies!!!♡
o0480036013169423897.jpg

 

A small, small comb. lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

o0480064013169433292.jpg

 

Look! This whole ham!
I’ve never seen it like this before!

 

 

 

 

 

This is a Christmas ham♡

 

o0480048013169433333.jpg

 

 

It was really yummyーーーー♡(つД`)ノ

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Christmas party at my place was over at around 16:00 (´・_・`) lol

 

o0480048013169433370.jpg

 

 

 

 

My first overseas Christmas♡
I got some good experience♡

 

 

Like most of the people who spend it with family, I got to feel a warm Christmas♪

 

It seems for the people here spending Christmas with family is normal♡

 

 

 

 

And it was my first Christmas in a warm climate too♪♪
Spending Christmas in short sleeves was the best ♡( ̄▽ ̄) lol

 

 

 

 

It was fun~♡

 

 

Everyone have a fantastic Christmas too…♡

When we were sing Santa Claus is Coming to Town Santa Claus came and handed presents out to everyone!!♡

I got piercings♡

 

 

o0480036013168050539.jpg

 

 

 

 

At first I thought it might have been a charm~ (lol)

 

 

 

 

o0480048013168050509.jpg

 

The cross part of the piercing is done with a shell♡

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Santa-san was handing over presents he said, “It’s hot, hot!” (((o(*゚▽゚*)o))) lol

 

Everyone was in short sleeves and shorts but Santa-san was like this, of course that’s hot (^_-)
o0480048013168050486.jpg

Recommendations♡

Theme:♡♡♡

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Zealand recommended souvenirs♡

 

 

 

o0320032013166169924.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

 

First off, toothpaste!!
red seal’s “Smoker” and ”natural SLS free” are recommendations♪♪
I bought and brought Smoker back for my good friend Manager-san♪
Because Manager-san’s a smoker. lol

 

 

*SLS is sodium lauryl sulfate(ラウリル硫酸) free.

 

 

Your breath will feel refreshed, and it’s a toothpaste with consideration for being nature so I recommend it!
Like they don’t use many chemicals.

 

red seal makes black tea products too!♡
red seal’s black tea is yummy too so I bought some and brought it home for souvenirs♡

 

 

 

 

 

Next is…

 

 

o0480036013166169894.jpg

 

 

Dry Kiwi fruit:)

 

ZESPRI gold’s dried Kiwi!
These, I’ve been eating them, I’m really into it♡
It’s sweet and sour, yummy!!!
It’s a small bag so, it’s easy to pass to all kinds of people, I recommend it♡

 

 

 

 

 

Next is…

 

o0320032013166169977.jpg

 

 

 

Manuka honey!!

 

New Zealand is famous for honey, Manuka is especially famous!
I recommend this honey♪♪
I’m into spreading butter and this honey on bread♡

 

 

 

 

 

o0320037413166169986.jpg

 

 

 

This Manuka honey is my recommendation too♪♪
The taste is rich, but it’s refreshing, it’s yummy.

 

The other day, I burned my arm on a kettle but, I learned that it’s good to spread Manuka honey on it so, I spread some on it and it really immediately felt better!!!
I learned you can use it like this too♡ lol

 

By the way manuka honey isn’t the kind of translucent honey you can see though well, it’s whiteish!

 

o0320025813166169996.jpg

 

Like this.

 

The taste might seem unique but, people who like it like it♪♪
I like itー!

 

 

And, for people who like the smell of honey, there’s cosmetics and body cream and stuff with honey as an ingredient too so I recommend it.

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly…

 

o0275040013166169914.jpg
o0320037613166169948.jpg

 

 

Mud pack:)

 

These mud packs are famous too♪♪
There’s all kinds of types but, I’m using this one often♪♪
These mud packs have Manuka honey as an ingredient in them too♡

 

Makes your skin moist and MochiMochi springy (*^^*)♪♪
Just perfect for winter eh?♡

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seems Japan is one of the places where it’s snowing too huh(´・_・`)

 

It might be a White Christmas huhー♡

I went for hair maintenance too♡

 

 

o0480048013162092396.jpg

 

 

 

A familiar salon in Japan for the first time in awhile, of course it’s great♡

 

Not saying anything they did it just like what I was thinking(*^^*)!

 

 

I haven’t gotten my hair cut from the New Zealand beauticians yet…
they seem to cut it with such a Batsu,Batsu snappy dynamic, it’s scary (´・_・`) lol

 

In Auckland there’s lots of salons with japanese people doing things but, I’ve only gone into one of them♪♪
The Kansai owner, liked talking, it was funny♪ lol
I liked the cut too♡

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This time I got coloring and my bangs adjusted, and got my hair thinned out a lot, it’s lighter (*^^*)♪♪

Meeting Mai this time, I once again felt love from Mai.♡

 

 

 

 

This kind of stuff happened.

 

 

 

 

 

Mai and Aika have matching rings and necklaces but,(*’v’*)♡

 

I left those in New Zealand when I came back home…(T_T)

 

Mai-chan noticed it…(´・_・`)

 

Even though Mai hasn’t taken them off even onceーーーーー! Saying that she was really offended (T_T) lol

 

Sorry(>人<;) Mai!
Aika’s gonna be apologizing to Mai about this for the rest of her life huh (´・_・`) lol

Really it was just a few hours but, eating Hawaiian pancakes, we talked about silly things and then departed (´・_・`)

 

Aah… I missed this(´・_・`)

 

 

But, I’m grateful for these two who said they wanted to see me even for a little bit like this (T ^ T)♡
This time I gave a meager souvenir but, net time it’ll be a fantastic one…♡ lol

 

 

 

 

 

These two are wrapped in such a joyous atmosphere, even I was joyful ヾ(*’▽’*)/♡

It’s been a long time♡

 

 

 

 

Actually, since mondayI’ve returned home for a little bit!!
Tests have calmed down too, and it’s almost been a year so I’ve come home for a bit.

 

 

I meet up with my Big sis-chan♡♡

 

o0480048013157770109.jpg

 

o0480036013157770140.jpg

 

We went to eat Korean food♡♡

 

 

 

Big sis-chan’s turned into the little sister *\(^o^)/* lol♡
even though in the olden days she used to be annoyed (-_-)
Since I’ve come to New Zealand, she’s become like the little sister(*^^*)
She said when she got so lonely cause I didn’t phone her, she’d watch YouTube (lol)

 

 

 

Getting to meet with that Big sis-chan of mine really had me overjoyed (*^^*)lol♡

 

 

 

 

We went for yakitori tooーー♡♡
My beloved Akiyoshi♪♪

 

 

o0480036013157770167.jpg

 

It was yummyー!
Since going to New Zealand, I’ve missed missed yakitori…(;_;)

 

Auckland has has a number of yakitori shops but, it’s expensive っ(´・_・`)
But the stores are done by Japanese people so, the flavor is Japanese, it’s yummy♡♡

 

 

On this day I ate my fill, I’m greatly satisfied!!♡♡
I finisehd it off with 3 kushikatsu too! lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Talking with Big sis-chan lately, going shopping together, it was fun♪♪♪

 

 

There was a time, when we fought and ended up not really keeping in touch but, I’m glad we could be like this and be close again♡

 

 

Going with us separated, seems she thought cutely of me a little(*^^*) lol

 

 

What’s up with that(T_T) lol
So late!

Michishige-san, congratulations on your graduation.

 

Morning Musume。 Longest Enrollment Record!!
Truly for a Job Well Done for your long term.

 

It’s fantastic memories and history packed up for Michishige-san huh ^^
I feel like since becoming leader it’s been a very rich time hasn’t it?
Michishige-san has such a strong responsibility, she brooded over lots, it might not have all been fun memories but, Michishige-san overcame all that and graduated, I really respect that.

 

Whenever something happened, when they got Oricon 1st places and such, she always contacted me, she’s a very conscientious person!! At first I couldn’t believe I was getting reports expressly from Michishige-san so, when I got contacted it was surprising!^^

 

 

Being able to see the back of that kind of leader, I felt jealous of all my juniors too!(*^_^*)

 

 

Really a job well done!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got pictures of the LIVE venue being very fantastically pink from Manager-san, I saw them♪♪
It was reaーlly pretty! It’s fantastic!

 

 

 

 

Regrettingly, in the second week of next month I’m taking the TOEIC so I abandoned coming back to Japan.
I really wanted to see it, I really wanted to meet with the members, everyone but, for the sake of my English, at what I felt was an important time for myself, I abandoned it (/_<。)

 

Everyone who got to go was really luckyー.(^_-)♡

 

I wanted to see Michishige-san’s finest hourー(T_T)
It was tottーーーally cute huh~(。>ω<。)

 

From Suzuki Kanon-chan too I got a message saying, “I get to see you today right! I’m really looking forward to it!!” I regretted it all the more. lol

 

 

 

What kind of LIVE was it?^^
Did a revolution happen at the venue?^^
