I know Valentine's Day was almost a month ago but I figured it's better late than never so here's my little baby post about what I received from Alex on lovers' day.

belated valentine's day wishes & small tony moly purchases
Happy (late) Valentine's Day Everyone!
I can't believe it's already been a week since my sister arrived! That was one of the fastest weeks I've experienced in a long time. It's probably because since she arrived, we've been literally going out every day because family/friends wanted to celebrate the New Year with her (and us).
She left Wednesday evening ヘ(゜Д、゜)ノ. The week was such a blur and it was really nice to spend time with her and laugh/giggle over everything. Unfortunately, we were so busy that we didn't even have time to do our Super Smash Bros. Brawl team battle rituals. My sister and I used to play SSB together all the time, we would always be on the same time and we'd get super hyper. I now do it with my brother, which is just as fun, but it's not the same. My brother always kills me once at least every round for starters.

valentine's day kawaii
I was pretty productive yesterday but when I got home, I realized that I had left all my kawaii with Alex in his car, which was at his work. Since I couldn't take a picture of all the kawaii he got me for Valentine's Day, I couldn't make a post of it ;_________;
But it did prevent me from double posting, which is something that I don't like to do. I like to give my (few) readers a chance to actually read one of my posts before posting another one. That, and I'm too lazy to make more than one post a day. Blog posts actually take a while to write, believe it or not. Just the searching for pictures, taking pictures, uploading them, etc. takes a long time.
Anyway, normally, when I'm expecting kawaii to arrive at my door, it's always on my mind. I always think to myself, "Is it going to arrive today? Is it going to be there when I get home? I hope it's already there when I get home."
Or if it didn't arrive, which is usually the case, I think, "Why isn't it here yet? What's taking it so long? UGH! Shipping is so slow, but I'm too cheap to pay for faster shipping. It'll arrive eventually right? RIGHT?! I hope it didn't get lost in the mail. I wonder if it's going to arrive tomorrow? I hope it arrives tomorrow."
What I normally look like when I'm waiting for my kawaii packages.
And it repeats until eventually, it arrives. When it does, I'm all like:
For some reason, even though Alex bought a whole bunch of kawaii for me for Valentine's Day, I wasn't thinking about it. Maybe because I was expecting them to arrive in a really long time (don't know why, they were both airmail shipping from Singapore, which usually takes a week) or maybe because I was really looking towards my SPRING BREAK!!!!!!
Except it's called, "Reading Week" for some reason and it's a bit too early for Spring now anyway. Instead of partying it up and being classy (flashing people and getting ugly drunk), I relaxed, caught up with friends, went shopping with my mom and spent a lot of time with Alex. It was a really nice break :)
Anyway, enough with my rambling, let's get to the good stuff. As I mentioned, all the kawaii-ness that Alex bought me for Valentine's Day had arrived and I squeed and made all those God awful noises that I promised would never come out of me ever again.
Packages of kawaii.
Kapibarasans, Nemunekos, and other kawaii, oh my!
Little ram keychain plush and White Tiger plush, both from Caltoy. The tiger's face is a little squashed but that just gives it character :)
White-san and Chicky pouchs from Kapibara-san collection. I love the little antenna!
These adorable pouches are UFO catcher prizes in Japan, believe it or not. I thought they were retail items but I guess it's entirely possible since Japan has way better toy catcher prizes than North America. Alex and I had a lot of fun watching youtube videos of people winning UFO prizes in Japan. My wallet is going to get really skinny in Japan...
Back view, I really like coloured chains too.
Vibrating Nemuneko plush!
Alex and I decided to make a race out of the cats to see which one would get their prize first. The first few times we did it, he had the black one and I had the other one. He won each time and then we decided to switch. Black cat won every time, even when Alex cheated with the orange and white one -_-. I guess the black one is the faster nomers.
Adorable stubby tails!
Christmas Tigger! It's a little late but he's still really cute so I naturally, had to get him.
Valentine's Day Kapibarasans, all standing in row.
And here are the Valentine's Day Kapibarasans that everyone has been waiting for since this post. It was really hard to get a good picture of them and most of the pictures are pretty awkward because they're standing on their feet, holding something but their heads are so big that they topple over.
Each holding some Valentine's goodies.

As a surprise, Alex also got me a copy of Cynanide and Happiness, which is a collection of hilarious webcomics. I've had my eye on this book for a few years now but never got around to buying it. I mentioned to Alex a looooooong time ago that I had wanted to get it. I'm surprised that he remembered to be honest and it was sweet of him to get it for me.

happy valentine's day!
Whether you're celebrating it with your significant other, friends, family or alone (and there's no shame in that!, I hope everyone had a romantic and awesome day! Mine was just like any other ordinary day, school and some shopping at Indigo Bookstores, but it was fun nonetheless! I ran into an old friend from high school, whom I haven't seen in over 5 years since it turns out that she works there now!
I tried to look for a Valentine's Day picture (given the limited time I have, homework calls) that featured some kawaii characters as my "official V-day picture" but the only one that I could find was the Rilakkuma one and I didn't want to use that one, because it would feel like I was just mooching off of Mary, since she posted it first. Instead, I stole it off the Sanrio website since I knew they would have one.
And guess what??
These adorable Valentine's Day Kapibara-san keychains are on their way to me! They're a Valentine's Day gift from Alex (despite his disapproval of my kawaii love, now that's TRUE love). They should arrive by next week, yay!

Taste of Freedom
After cramming and stressing for about three weeks, my midterms are finally done! Actually, my last one was on Wednesday so I've been done for a few days but really done because I still had classes until Thursday. But as of Thursday at 2:30 PM, I'M ON SPRING BREAK! But at my school, they call it, "Reading Week." I guess it is a bit early to call it spring break but whatever, it's a week of school.
I can't wait! I've been either in school or working since...a long time. 3 years? With the co-op program and school, I haven't really had a break since then. I'm going to enjoy every second of it. Except for the fact that I'm stuck at work. I normally don't mind going to work but I can't wait to get out of here. I keep thinking about what I'm going to do during my spring break, which I haven't decided yet.
I'm trying to write a Valentine's Day card for Alex. We're celebrating today because we've both been super busy with midterms so we haven't had time to do anything. It's really hard to write a good message in a card without repeating the same things over and over. This is our fifth Valentine's celebration so...yeah. I'm not very creative either so yeah, that's why this is really hard. It doesn't help that he surprised me with a bouquet of flowers, some chocolcates and a card on Valentine's Day when I opened the door, looking like I was dragged through a garbabge dump. Okay, I didn't look that bad, but I didn't look impressive either. So I feel pressured to write a really good card.
On another note, I've been obsessed with buying Kawaii plushies like Homekoro (even though it's almost impossible to find him. But I did manage it, after extensive effort) and Mamegoma. But I only like the fuzzy Mamegomas and the fluffy Rilakkumas. I normally don't like Rilakkuma at all, but for some reason, I like the fluffy ones. I like the white bear more tha Rilakkum himself, it's cuter.
I'd post some pics of the ones that I want but unfortunately, I don't have time for that because I have about half an hour left of work and I still have to write an excellent Valentine's Day card for Alex.
