So over spring break I busted an epic mission to Seattle for Sakura-con. It was a total of 42 hours driving there and getting back in one piece =_= but it was still fun. I learned so many cool things there and got to see a bunch of awesome stuff 
The con itself was pretty chill and there was a lot of cool things to do.
Some of the tings that I learned on my trip was:
- they pump your gas for you in Oregon and its pretty cheap compared to Cali
- there is no sales tax in Oregon and theres a whole lot of nothing.
- people in Oregon and Seattle are pretty nice compared to La
- the weather in Seattle is super cold and windy compared to back home -.-
- the arcade at Sakura-con had free games all con and they had a broad selection of pannels
Also some pros about Seattle are its so clean compared to La, the transportation system is so good, and they have this awesome store called Daiso which is soo like a Japanese 99cents store but everything is either $1.50 or higher
I only ended up cosplaying for day one but it was still an experience to remember :] heres my picture summary of my trip
Although I enjoyed my trip to Seattle I couldn’t wait to get back home. I realized that I was a California girl because I soo almost froze my bum off in the cold XD Lastly on a side note, Washington was the farthest north that ive ever been in my live and on that road trip I drove the farthest that Ive ever driven before in my life, across Oregon XwX
My blog that is. Ive been a horrible author and neglected my blog for a good 6 months O_O but now im back and ive got lots to talk about C:
Last weekend AniMaid Cafe appeared at the 2010 Cherry Blossom Festival Southern California. We performed, played games and even had a lolita fashion show. I Had a lot of fun promoting our cafe and meeting a bunch of new people. My favorite part was being able to participate in the cosplay contest that they had and seeing all the cute dogs . I swear I wanted to take them all home >w< Sadly because we were soo busy I didn’t get to eat the delicious looking food at Dogzilla or take many pictures ;_;
Hello Goshujin-sama! Ojou-sama!
Been awhile since I’ve updated ^ ^ So much has happend with the Animaid World! The calendar! which is totally cute and i really hope you enjoy them! A new revamp of the website! Vensy is amazing ne? We have the cherry blossom festival coming up soon and MOMO-i! and then AX in july! so much to do!
As for me! I’ve Been catching up on my anime and reading and the past few months. I went shopping and somehow ended up at the goodwill looking at the books. And there i found a hardcover of the Divine Comedey! and it has diagrams! ohh happy! That and a nice copy of Wind In the Willows. yay. Though i have soo many books i have yet to finish but i just cant resist books!
Speaking of catching up on anime, ive been watching so many at one time too. Stellvia of the universe, Excel Saga, kurushitsugi. And my new favorite at the moment Yumeiro Patissiere!
A manga that just got recently turned into an anime! It’s about a girl named Ichigo Amano who LOVES to eat cake and gets to go to a pastry boarding school on recommendation. At first Ichigo can’t really bake at all, and being put into the best baking group with the so called “Sweets Princes” she practices hard while others are jealous. She meets up with a fairy or “sweets spirit” named Vanilla who helps her with her baking! And crazy cake related shenanigans ensue!
^ ^ when i found this it was all too perfect so i jumped right in. It sooo cute! And the baking tips are really good! Stuff I want to try. Every time I’m done with an episode I want to bake lots and lots of pretty cakes! I really want to cosplay Vanilla’s friend Chocolate! I get a giant fork! wee!
Cute ne?! So shes been put 
on my “to do cosplay list” and i think shes perfect since i wouldnt need a wig and ive been told many a time by the girls i need to cosplay more girls ehehe. There are lots more sweets spirits. Along with Vanilla and Chocolate theres Coffee and Caramel! Check it out if you love cake and cuteness it wont disappoint!
So other than anime and reading, I’ve been working on some writing projects of my own. If you didn’t know Ichigo is an aspiring novelist! And is working on a book series of her own! 
yes I dream big *pumps fist* But I write so slow with that I’ve been distracting myself with another “Maid related” project called Maid!Hime! Which is going rather well! gahh If you’re interested in that just ask! ^.^V
So i hope Goshujin-sama and Ojou-sama enjoy the first few weeks of spring! And…yes! haha

Today is the first day of Lunar New Year. This year is a year of a Tiger. Roar Roar Roar. I hope everybody to have a great great new year with a lot of lucks, money, and good health. I wish everybody will be happy and live in peace. (no more drama)
I am so sorry for recently. I haven’t updated our blog or written anything. Recently, I am really really busy with the maid cafe, school, and work. I am trying to organize so many stuffs for the maid cafe. The AniMaid Cafe schedule is FULL. We have so many events that we will be announced soon. I can’t wait
OH YEAH – Vensy is designing a new web site for us. I did a little sneak peak. It was awesome….I can’t wait.
My goal this year is to make the maid cafe to be better and stronger.
I am lucky to be Asian because I can celebrate Two New Years.
Yep….Speed Racer is currently my favorite movie. Since….well….it came out! My best friend thinks I’m crazy because apparantly its a mass of crazy seizure inducing crap. I dont know about anyone but I LOVED it! Its like watching a cartoon with people in it! Speed Racer was the very first anime I saw I was 2. My mom used to put it on for me when I was little, that Gatchaman when it was G-force, and Astroboy. So I FLIPPED out when I saw that it was a live action movie.
The movie is sooo colorful and glorious, I call them joy seizures. Weeeee for christmas my wonderful Aino got me a mach 5 bowl which i use to put my cell phone in when im not using it, and my ringtone when she calls me is the classic speed racer theme so….it plays while in the mach 5 eee *geek moment*
I also have a few of the Hotwheels cars. Mach 4, Mach 5, Race wrecked Mach 5, Mach 6, Shooting star track and rally car *racer X’s car*, GRX, Ghost and the japanese guy’s car. Im currently looking for Taejo’s car. and i found them allll at the 99 cent store SCORE!
When I get married I want a Mach 5 cake…I’m serious because im such a HUGE goober that way hehehehe. So…yes *nod nod* When I get my white Yaris Ima get a big 5 decal on the back window and red seat covers….again because I’m a dork. so off to find Taejo’s car! Tell me if you find it! keyaaa

Arigato!
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).

4. Getting serious at school
5. Controlling Money

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!
Watch the video here: ALA10 Mune Mune Kyun
One of the best feelings for Mikan? Going to a con for the first time. What a feeling~♥
Next con? Hopefully a new one!
Hi hi everyone!
I have been feeling sick…my stomach hurts! Christmas is tomorrow..hope I will be ok by then nya?
So this piccu was taken before Mikan’s haircut. Yes, I got a haircut nya! I got a pair of scissors, and shnipped my own hair! Most of the maids and hosts have seen it already neh, but it shall be a (hopefully) pleasant shock for the goshujinsamas and ojousamas neh? Mikan’s goal?
Jangg~! *o* All I need is a guitar now~
Please don’t confuse my Mio cosplay with Mio! Though easily confused because both are uber cute neh? Hehehe~♥
Another great event occurred a few days ago! That’s right, Kchan’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ♥. We took over the Japanese grill Gaja, filling half the restaurant! Kchan so popular neh!!
I never realize how little things can be so pretty. While washing/cutting veggies for dinner one day, I realized that the stump looks like a flower! Here’s a pretty close-up:
Kirei~!
So this winter, Kai, Stae, Kaname, Mio, and I went snowboarding! I needed bindings, so Mikan bought a pair of white ones (oh so pretty!). It came with a square BORING stomp pad, so Mikan took the liberty to cut something cute on it, heheh~
It’s a bunny! :L
Before snowboarding, we all gots some food at Los Jilberto’s! This is one of my favorite Mexican food places mm hm! Stae and I shared their huge carne asada fries with a bunch of sauce!
It’s like a mountain!
Other than boarding, Mikan also got to spend lots of time with Koto sewing her SUPER SECRET THINGY. Finally finished. That means lots of num num with Koto neh!
Hooray for yummy sandwich and yakisoba! MMMMmmmmMMmm..
Well too tired to update more! But I wish everyone a
VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
