Enjoy the sexual harassment handout:

I didn't realise I have been constantly sexually harassing people.

It gets worse:

Why did they not get this page native checked?!

And just so you know I was listening:

yes, he really said this when explaining how to stop harassment - not a native English speaker.

Rather big mistake to make...

Also:

This poor guy outside the restaurant we went to. Supposedly someone's soon-to-be lunch. Pretty sure he was already dead :(

Obsessed With A&Ss

With full transparency I didn't realise that their name was 'ass' before I fell in love with their products.

Today there was a market around my neighbourhood filled with goods but by far the busiest stall was A&Ss (luckily changing their name to 'Lapule' 「らぷれ」 in June). I had my eye on some square framed diamante studs but as I was waiting behind the masses they were snatched up. Thankfully, there was another pair of earrings I loved just as much.

This hand down earring style has been trending for a while now and I couldn't resist getting me some of these pearl style drop earrings when I saw them.

Peered with my studs from Zara.

[Please excuse my lack of makeup - it's Sunday and I don't care. Also my right ear is kind of elven?]

I hope I see them at a market soon! (or not because my purse strings could use a break)

Fare Thee Well ~My Beloved Nikon d5000~

This beauty has been with me for 4 years and served me well.

It was my first big purchase with money earned through my own hard work. Abercrombie and Fitch nightshifts in the Ginza store were terrible but they did, at least, pay well.

When I first got it I took it with me every where. All over Tokyo and the rest of Japan. Snapping photos of everything; from temples to rivers to autumn leaves. Thousands of photos only to be riddled down to a dozen or so posted to facebook.

Recently, it has been having more of a shelf life. Traded out for my canon digicam as video took over from stills. The weight of it is no laughing matter either. These days our cellphones take such good photos with such ease that we forget what it's like to hear a real shutter sound or change out lenses or physically attach filters.

With my upcoming move to the UK I realised that my dslr was a luxury that I needed to leave behind. My luggage restrictions mean that I can only take what I can carry around for a few months and anything not absolutely necessary (like my backpack koala soft toy - practical) would need to be sold, thrown out or packaged up and shipped off.

My camera has served me incredibly well. I've taken some great photos with it. But I've found it a lovely home with someone I know will treat it well and enjoy it's company.

So, even though it breaks my heart to say goodbye to it, it will be fine.


Especially since I still have a polaroid camera, diana mini film camera and a digicam to entertain myself with.
