I havent really had time to update my blog lately but i didnt really want to stop posting completely since my blog is a way for my friends/family to know what i am up to so here’s a bunch of photos from last week…

Everyone’s been posting Christmas tree photos so i wanted to share too XD
weekend03

I’ve been sick most of the week [hence housebound] but i did manage to get out of the house once in a while XD

Here’s some food porn for you guys….
weekend01

weekend02

Also went grocery shopping with my sister
Found some really weird flavours of senbei [japanese rice cracker]
weekend04
From left: Sukiyaki , japanese curry and nikujyaga [ japanese meat and potatoes stew]

Since its nabe [hot pot] season, we also went looking at new pots and i finally checked out these character pots i posted about previously…
weekend05

There’s a cat one too heehee
weekend06

Random photos of stuff you can make cute bentos with
weekend07

Everytime i post bento related photos, some of you will ask if i actually make bentos
weekend08
The answer is Yes. But no i dont make the cute character bentos you are thinking of. I make them for my husband and he’s more concerned about the quantity of the bento rather than how cute a shape/design i can make XD

Speaking of the husband, we bought matching scarves for winter…
weekend09
Yah we are so cheesy like that. XD

Also went ice skating with the besties recently.
weekend10

We were there as i wanted to go see the SMAP event store that opened on last Friday [18th Dec]
weekend12
Its a special event store that’s opened till 11th January 2010. They’ve been doing this special SMAP event stores since 2006.

The queue was so freaking long
weekend13
I got there too late so i didnt manage to get a queue ticket [yah u need a queue ticket to queue so that you can get in]

So i’ll just have to go back another day XD
weekend14
In case you didnt know, i am a DIE HARD SMAP fan. XD

weeken01
Boybands may come and go. I may also change my fangirl targets from time to time but i’ll always be loyal to SMAP. XD
And if you would like to know, my favourite member is Goro Inagaki.

If you wish to go, this is held at Asakasa Sacas
weeken02
Take the train to Asakasa JR station to get to it ^^

Massive thanks to the besties for going with me even though i knew they wanted to stay home AHAHAH

Final Fantasy 13 came out last Thursday [17th Dec 09] in Japan and both of them are so obsessed with the game XD
weeke01

There’s probably a whole bunch more photos i should post but i am being a bit lazy in editing them
But at least that means i have more senseless photo posts for you guys XD

Or do you guys think i should just stop posting?

Its Christmas this week so if i dont get to post before then,
Merry Christmas
XOXO Yumeko

Fave song of the moment

A friend of mine told me these guys apparently stayed at my apartment block when they were in Tokyo.
Note..i say this is Apparently as i cannot confirm since i never saw them XD

p.s please dont be angry with me as i know i am behind on my blog reading and commenting, i promise to buck up once i moved and settled down ^^;;

    Oh I’m sorry to hear you were sick and staying at home. I hope you are feeling better and take care~! I love seeing christmas tree photos, thanks for sharing that tree. It is very elegant!

    That is so cute and sweet you and your husband got matching scarfs! It makes my heart happy to read that hehe. And you had skating date^^

    What sort of items do they usually sell at the SMAP stores?

    I love it when you post, but if you have less chances to do so that’s ok too. Anyhow I just look forward to reading your entries always^^

  12. Justine says:

    That Christmas tree is AMAZING *_*. Ours is up but still does not have a star on it so I will wait to take a picture until I can get someone to do it… even standing on a chair I am not quite tall enough, and a LOT of our ornaments are glass or ceramic and I don’t want to knock the tree over. I hope you are feeling better! The matching scarves are so cute!

    That queue is SO reminiscent of the second time Kelsie and I went to the Johnny’s shop… @_@ totally did not understand the number things, stores are never that busy here.

    Haha the closer it gets to New Year’s the more nervous I am for your package. I hope it gets there soon!

  13. lulagirl says:

  16. Julie H. says:

  20. Nikki says:

    awww nice to see photos from you again! you’ve been super busy!! Happy Hoidays!

  21. J says:

    Hi there,

    Nervous about moving yet? Oh my those hot pots are ADORABLE!! I like the man on it, it looks like a pringle chip man. :) But the cat one is so cute too. did you end up buying one?

    Ahh! I wish they had bento making stuff here, I don’t think I have ever seen any, in the future it’s my goal to make one for my bf – although I think he’s be the same as your husband, more concerned about what the food is like!

    Haha, matching scarves. Very adorable, my bf would never go for that either!
    Ah, I had to google what SMAP was, I had never heard of them before, must check them out now!
    Ok gl on the move! take the blogging easy :D

  22. Ciara says:

    I love the scarves and the Christmas tree!! =D
    Who is SMAP?! lol!
    Hope you are well!!

    –Ciara<3<3

  23. kickangel says:

    The pastries look delish!

    I heard about the SMAP store! My friend likes Goro too but I’ve always thought he’s more… invisible compared to the rest of the members. xD (Don’t kill me.)

    If U-Kiss were to stay in my apartment block, I think I’ll probably look forward to seeing Dongho only, which would be weird cos you’d see an older woman lusting over a 15-year old. And also that’s because he’s the only member I know besides Hyung Joon’s brother, Kibum. Hahaha!

    Hope you feel better soon! :)

    • Bittenbefore says:

      XD goro is more invisible, i do agree with you. but i just like him anyway hahahaha
      i dont know anyone in u-kiss last yr so even if i did run into them at the supermarket downstairs of the apt, i wouldnt even know hahahahaha

  24. molé says:

    ahhhhhh those pots are ridiculously cute ?
    and i’d love to try that nikujaga senbei.. i love nikujaga and i love senbei, so the two of them together must be even better, right?
    i love looking at your pictures… i’ve only been to japan/tokyo once and only for like 2 weeks but your pictures make me really nostalgic lol

  25. BlovetBeauty says:

    SMAP is so cool! I think there are tons and tons of SMAP lovers and fans all over the world! ANyhow, I love ur food porn cause it’s making me hungry as usual:) Merry X’mas sweetie!

  26. yoli says:

  27. Mcnunu says:

    Merry Christmas Yumeko!I know you won’t be getting any rest due to the move, but try to enjoy the holiday xD.
    If I had one of those neko pots, I’ll probably eat hot pot every day!
    Hee!my Pookie is also a die hard SMAP fan, every time we go for karaoke, he MUST sing Lion Heart xD
    Looking forward to your Hong Kong posts!Say hello to my home town for me!

  28. Thanks for all the pics! I am sure that your HK pics will be just as great! Good luck with the move!
