Pepsi Black Lemon from Japan

This post is a bit late because it seems I cannot find Pepsi Black Lemon in the market anymore. However, it has to be here because it is also limited edition Pepsi! ^_^ It was released on summer 2012 to refresh the hot summer all over Japan ( except Hokkaido =P hihi.. In general, it's not that hot here on summer. Oh I love Hokkaido!! ).

Pepsi Black Lemon came with a bit of lemon flavor and 50% less sugar content. It tasted like Diet Coke  due to the less sugar content, a bit bitter as well, but I don't mind because it felt healthier, hehe. The aroma of lemon was quite nice, but I couldn't really taste the lemon... or... it might because the lemon didn't taste like fresh lemon.

The label is mostly monochrome with a bit of yellow, very cool actually but not cute, haha, although I love the all-black Pepsi logo. Compared to the crazy amount of Pepsi Salty Watermelon I bought, I only bought 2 bottles of Pepsi Black Lemon that time. One for me to try, as usual ;) , and one for Javier's sister.

Relief in my lab

Happyyyyy !! I managed to do my speech quite smoothly today ! ^________^ I was so worried because it is always very hard for me to memorize japanese words coz sometimes one word is similar with the other. Besides, the pronunciation somehow makes me tired too... __ __ ! *ha..ha..* i think you know what i mean... Japanese has a lot of words that needs  a bit of extra energy to pronounce. for example: the one with しょう、しゅう、etc.. O.o .. Anyway, I will post something from my speech next time.

Today I did about the same thing.. attending classes and having lunch after that. After that, I had to go to the academic office to settle my re-entry permit extension issue for my visa application.. >___< One of the staffs contacted me, and she said that the Japan Immigration cannot extend my visa earlier than 3 months before expiry date if the reason is for visa application for travelling or sightseeing.. ___ ___ ! in this case, I had to apply for some certificate from university, which required me to get my professor's signature.

.............

... and I had to apply for it today because she needs 2 days at least to finish the document for me. Moreover, I only have 10 days from the embassy to send the thing to them. Besides, my sensei won't be here tomorrow, and today he is exxxxtremely busy. his schedule is full...

OH. MY. GOD.

Honestly, I really want to avoid disturbing him more about things related to the trip !!! >__________< PUNCH !!!!! *sigh* but anyway, i got it already, and i applied for the certificate today. I feel less tensed after I came back to my lab... just try to focus : 

I'm going to Spain ! yuhuuu... I will see my boyfriend again soon ! ^__^

So, now it's time to relax a bit !!!

Back massagers : love rabbit (Singapore), crab (Taiwan)

I feel so comfortable in my lab. hmm.. some labs make the people stressed because they are full of books, papers, etc, which give them the feeling 'OMG ! I have to study !'. however, my lab is nice.. ^^ I decorated my place a bit too somehow.. I put some foods to make me happy, ('some' means ... 'a lot'. HAHA.. although they are still nothing compared to what my senpai has inside his drawer.. ___ ___! ) and some cute collections !!! ^_____^ they are so cute and make me happy ! ^___________^

The one i posted here are all gifts from my lab mates. (well.. one of them was my gift to my lab mate.) The ones on top are back massagers. The story was quite funny. Last summer I went to Singapore for holiday, while my senpai went to Korea for conference. When we met after the holiday, I brought him this love rabbit massager as souvenir (he loves love rabbit..), and he brought me this crab massager from Korea !!! O.o ... Why did both of us buy back massagers at the same time !??!?! what a coincidence !!

peach hand cream (Korea), and fluffy sheep (Japan)

The fluffy sheep was actually my senpai's. However, soon he realised that I love it sooo much, and I kept playing with it, until he got the message clearly, 'IT'S MINE ! IT'S MINE !'.. then he gave it to me.. O.o .. HAHA. thank youuu, amir !! ^__________^ Ah btw, the peach hand cream was from my other lab mate who went to Korea too for conference. It is really cute !! I havent used it until today. hehee..

Bread sponge (Taiwan)

 The sponge bread was from Amir too. It was from taiwan, and it is quite interesting to see the 'made in taiwan' words there, because usually we expect to see 'made in china' when we buy most of the general souvenirs we bought from all over the world, except the hand-mades, hahahaha __ __ ! it's very cute and special ! ^__________^

so.. those are some of my collections ! my advice is... put some stuffs that you like in your workplace, so you will have more motivation and support psychologically when you need to work a lot there ! ^_^

Artworks for today !

Today is my friend's birthday. She was one of the first few people I met here, and eventually she became one of my closest friends. this year is the last year I'm going to celebrate her birthday in Sapporo i suppose, coz next year she will go back to her country after graduation. therefore... i felt like drawing something for her. It was quite difficult earlier because I like to have good concepts for my drawings all the time. However, I decided to draw the first idea I had about her in my mind, which is... this one !

I remember that she loves chocolate, and I caught her many times snacking chocolate in any forms in the class.. haha ! ^^ mmm... I got to enjoy too because she offered me some =P hihihi... *punch myself* the thing isss... she cannot grow fat after eating so much chocolate everyday !!! OMG !!!!

*jealous mode*

On the other hand, another good friend of mine asked me to help him drawing something for the invitation email of the event he is handling now. I was in a low mood last week and it was a bit hard to find some ideas for invitation actually, but of course I always love to draw simple sketches, so why not ? i said yes. Luckily he told me that I can draw anything I want. haha =P ... i just got this idea this weekend when i was thinking about the characters in my 'imaginary world', and my new character too, the sheep, so I decided to draw them. This is the result :

HAHA !! do u think people will understand what it is about ? hehee... 

I LOVE IT SO MUCH !! ^___________^ 

The sheep is another character of my boyfriend, actually ^^ poor him.. i always make fun of him by making him cute characters instead of cool characters... O.o .. Peace ! *hugs*
