Cairo 2days document + New years thoughts

This January feels strange and i can't really put my finger on why it feels so strange. It feels like 2024 isn't really over...i still have things from that year that are kind of lingering into this one. That and also i cant process the fact that the Utahiro Kinbaku Yamarutteyo tour is turning 10 this year. Don't do this to me...

I want to be kinder this year. I want to lose weight. But to do that i'll have to prioritize walking ~10k steps daily. I want to have more of the willpower that I need to study. I want to get a perm and maybe get a cute sidepart in the process...all of these are wishes ive had for the past few years, i feel. I don't know. Don't ask me...

2024 sucked academically so i'm hoping this year sucks less. I'm hoping for a happy year full of golden bomber merch and more Kenji selfies that aren't behind a paywall. Hey...maybe i deserve a Marukin subscription for all my hard work. But how would i receive all the physical goodies...i dont live in Japan... 

Anyways! I sometimes go to Egypt in the winter, and this time was no different. I visited Cairo from the 6th to the 8th to see my cousin. 

Getting ready

My bags! One for going out, and one for...ita! It's my itabag that i've showed off before. She's as good as ever. Everything's intact...thankfully...one of the rhinestones on the cheki holder nearly fell off though LOL. Regardless she lives on!

 

I got one of these clear keychains from Daiso a few months back . I found out it can fit not one, but TWO! can badges. I'm a fan...

Cuties posing for a pic!

The trip begins! I got my itabag and my outing bag. Yay. Check out my phone.

Before we went to Cairo, we stopped by the mall! Ice cream was good. Simple yet delish combo...french vanilla and choco chips~

Day one

What a dire situation im in...my cousin wanted me to rip her Snake River Conspiracy CD (specifically their Sonic Jihad album) for her and i obliged ^.^

The CD drive was being a bitch. A real bitch. An ultra bitch. Refused to mount whatsoever. Still ripped it though! It's good industrial and i liked Casualty a lot...

The DVD was so good though. I ripped it into an ISO file for her too. Indoctrination...ISO best...MKV good but not best...you do want the DVD menu do u not

MY OUTFIT! We went to the mall that same evening!

We were told the stores would close around 10 or 11 PM. 

It was 9:30 PM when we went.

Tragic...

Despite all the stores being closed, one thing was there for us no matter what...FOOD!

I got some chicken and fries with (strangely gelatinous???) ranch, all with a side of cheese fries to share. I didn't like the cheese fries so my cousin had them. She also had a lime smoothie sorbet thing (pictured). When she gave it to me to try, i dont know why or what happened, but i INSTANTLY bolted my head to the straw and she was like damn!!!!! youve been WAITING!!!!! It was very refreshing though.

Issho Baka once more! \(^^)/ i thought my cousin wanted to watch the full thing...but apparently not which made me sad because she did agree to watching a concert...but we did watch the fourth stageplay. The makeupless kenji one. (p.s to my cousin if youre reading this i forgive you and good luck on your 300 question exam.)

That was all for the first day!

Day two

Not much in terms of pictures for the second day. This is practically all i took.

We went to the garden!

Lots of dogs, all as stupid as can be. Just delightful...

That evening, me and my cousin went to the mall. Again.

The store we wanted to go to was still closed.

It was 7 pm.

Ugh...

Bye-bye Cairo!

This is from the day after that; we left and before we...left we went to another mall! 

More cold stone!

More french vanilla with chocolate chips!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Before this, we watched the Sonic 3 movie.

Very funny!!!! I love you Jim Carrey!!!!!!! Me and my brother kept repeating konnichiwhaaaaaaaaat like...parrots.

Before the sonic movie, we had Chilli's.

Delicious. 

I had honey chipotle chicken.

Now that im home...i feel a bit calmer, i think...i cant wait to use the elliptical at the gym and i especially cant wait to go to daiso again!!!!!!

I hope i can buy more jewelry the next time i go to egypt. 

Ill be honest... theres a lot i couldve blogged about in 2024. I missed a lot of blogging opportunities...but maybe thats why i still blog regardless. Doing it at my pace makes things easier.

I hope i can stay true to myself.

WAIT! Before you go...

Ive been getting into fansubbing. I started with the Issho Baka intro video.

Please watch it. I cant really put it up on youtube...

It's a big video. I think i shouldve compressed it.

I wanna sub more GB videos...but most of my DVDs with proper intro videos with on-screen subs are the feat. Kenji versions so...i think i need to buy more DVDs~! lol

Bye!
