Why? Been busy with life. … But also I got an Xbox 360 for Christmas so I’ve been spending time with an old friend, Gaming.
Other stuff too, but nothing really worth talking about. Cons, road trips, watchin’ anime, etc. Other stuff coming up. Well ok, maybe some things are worth mentioning, but I guess I’ve just been busy. I’ll continue to post when time permits. I want to make sure I have enough time to accurately convey the things happening in my life.
Well I guess that’s the gist of this post. Been busy.
Happy New Year Everybody! Kchan is so sorry. Kchan always forgot to say “Happy New Year” to everybody. Every year, Kchan celebrate two New Year. It is more reasons for me to eat good food and enjoy more fun times. Kchan hasn’t gone to the Blog for so long. Kchan is a lazy bum – just sat at home and went to Facebook (bad Kchan).
Kchan’s New Year Revolution
1. Lose Weight – around 5 to 10 lbs by summer so I can wear swimsuit.
2. Reorganize the Maid Café
3. Starting a new business
4. Getting serious at school
5. Controlling Money
6. Going To Japan at the end of the year.
7. Watch 750+ episode of anime
Hallo hallo! Welcome everyone back from the holidays and most recently Anime Los Angeles (ALA)! Everyone had fun neh?
So Mikan haven’t really been updating, gomenasai! There seems to be so much to do lately neh~
Anywho, let us go in chronological order shall we?
Firstly, Christmas! I had a chance to spend lots of timewith my friends! This included Koto, Kai, Stae, Mio, and many many more ♥! This year we decided to do TWO secret santas.
Before celebration, Mikan spent morning and afternoon at Koto’s residence, sewing. Though I cannot say that I am a connoisseur, I do enjoy watching the day pass as I make bloomers and skirts. ;P
So we started our celebration with a family dinner at Souplantation. It was my second time at the restaurant! After the good ol’ jolly meal, we went back to Koto’s to exchange gifts! I was so happy when I got mine, put my friends in chokehold XD hee~
First secret santa gift! Got a baby sewing machine and gloomy doll! XD
Second secret santa gift! What could it be?! (yay finally something MELODY!)
It is a Betsey Johnson layering necklace! One of Mikan’s favorite brands [that I have no money for D:] (next to Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs, and Chanel ;D).
And a gift from Kchan! It is Tupac Mashimaro! ;x heehee~
A Toki Doki phone charm! So cute neh~!
And this is how big my phone is now! Phone is inside golden owl pouch~
MINT CHOCOLATE~! Nom~
It was a very good Christmas! many gifts given that will be put to good use! (Almost done eating chocolate already heehee~!). I am thankful for having such a lovely group of friends…mucho love!

And all of a sudden, ALA came around! It was my first time at ALA, so I was very nervous. Kchan said there would be two panels, and knowing myself, I wanted to help as much as possible! So Mikan wore maid dress all days (no worries I washed in-between days) to promote/cosplay and for panels. Cosplay? Yes cosplay! Remember what Mikan said will be the cosplay? Mio from K-ON!
So how did Mikan do trying to do this cosplay?

Not too bad neh? Mikan was very very happy and surprised at results! Especially since I cut my hair myself! YESSSHH!!
What made it even better was that Koto, Emi, and Chiyo wanted to do K-ON cosplay with Mikan too! So we had one fun time cosplaying together!
Can goshujinsama and ojousama guess our characters? Hyuhyuhyu~
ALA is a lot more like a hanging-out convention. Very fun and enjoyable. Mikan met a lot of friend con-goers and photographers, and a few goshujinsamas from Facebook too! Thankies for saying hello!
Saturday panel was playing mini games, including JanKenPo, with the goshujinsamas and ojousamas! Everyone was very excited and rowdy, so it was very fun! Two hours went by really fast, so Mikan was a bit sad..
Sunday was the open Q&A panel. AniMaid Cafe talked about maid cafe culture in Japan, rules and regulations, and answered good questions. Mikan got slightly…tomatoed at one part, but let’s skip over that 
. We also got one lucky goshujinsama to dance with some of the maids to our “Mune Mune Kyun” dance. Good fun! After the panel, the extra time was spent for photos and epic Jenga matches. Ah..what a fun con!

One of the best feelings for Mikan? Going to a con for the first time. What a feeling~♥
Next con? Hopefully a new one!
