Yes, I'm still here - part 2 (*^▽^*)

Well, my predictions about abandoning this place (sooner or later ) try to come true as hard as they can lol But here I am, trying to revive this place once again!

There were lots of interesting (as well as creepy ) events out there during all this time of ignoring Ameblo, which includes DIR EN GREY concert (it was incredible! Magnificently incredible ) and 5th Russian J-Rock Convent (it was... rather dull overall (despite there were very good perfomances ), not to say more ) and many others (and I finally bought XBOX 360 (...my PS3 broke ) and played Tales of Vesperia! ). On top of everything, for about two month we were living rather in Silent Hill, than in Moscow, 'cause thick, pungent, stinking and poisonous smog from burning peat and forests was enveloping the city for almost all this time (not to mention EXTRAORDINARY heat ), giving it exactly Silent Hillish look (and, presumably, smell) Half of the country was in fire (while the other one was suffering from floods)... it was a real disaster((( Happily, it all ended now

Of course, all of these deserves more detailed story, but I guess there's already no use trying to put it here just now

JRockFucker (my mom ) & me before Diru concert

me before going to the j-rock convention (^∇^) this jumper skirt (as well as boots) was one of my purchases in BTSSB shop in Paris it's quite unusual for AatP, and I like it so much

Artifial Angel looked great, as usual

And now I have quite unexpected vacation at work, so I'm leaving to Kemer for two weeks (which is SO great, especially considering my health was very weak last month )

Yay, leaving to the sea!

Right after my returning there will be D'espairsRay concert and - a little bit later - experimental festival of japanese street fashion, organized by friends of mine

Good luck, everyone! See ya!

Yay, photo fun! ≧(´▽｀)≦

It was my dream for ages already - to fool around with japanese photo machines And it finally came true at Japan Expo (hm, and why haven't I done it in Japan? Heh, it seems I've been there even before "for ages"))
Well, my first attempts - without experience and levelling up the ability to fit into camera's range - are pretty lame, but nevertheless it was so fun! Surely, if Artificial Angel & me live in Japan, we'd live in those machines xDDD
So, one of them was quite simple - and still very enjoyable - while the other one was Ulala 3: huge, much more complicated and with wider range of options (for most of which you simple don't have time if you're alone and unused to it ) Btw, writings mostly sparkle very beautifully, scan 'course cannot show it >__<
And now... who would be so kind to tell what's written there in Japanese, please?)))) Hope smth not TOO dumb lol xDD

Macaroons <33 ...and a little bit of myself ^-^

Omg, Paris is packed with macaroons to the limit They're everywhere! And believe me, this is a real nightmare for a keen macaroon lover xDD But I guess the two main locations for a macaroon freak have to be LADURÉE and Pierre Hermé I'm not sure how in the world I'd be able to eat anything called "macaroon" HERE after all those Fraise & Wasabi, Petales de Rose, Fleur de Jasmin etc. etc. etc., which cruelly leave your taste buds blown up xDDD Ah, and Léon's mussels... and Chablis in my beloved Le Grand Café... ok-ok, that's enough with all these gastronomic suffering for one post xD

And - just to make it - a couple of random "me-in-the-mirror" shots (and one - "me-in-the-toilet-mirror", which is much more valuable 'course xDD I luv JE Main Stage restroom, it's so light & cosy lol xD ) from the first day of JE

"Paris 2010" or "I'm still alive, everyone!" xD

Hi everyone! Yes-yes, I'm still here, I've not put an end to this place yet xDD Thank you for your PETA very much, I'm so glad to see them! Hope you're all doing well

Well, I returned from Paris almost a week ago Japan Expo was incredible, X-Japan were incredible (too little though! ), Momusu were incredible, cosplayers were incredible, Paris was INCREDIBLE (as always for me ), magical evenings were incredible, shopping was incredible... everything was!
And now... now I'm still immersed into traditional post-trip depression (and this despite the fact that a lot of great things already happened this week yeah, post-returning melancholy is a cruel thing! ) and don't have any moral strength to write anything, to go anywhere... to DO anything lol (albeit currently it's not so ruinous ) xDD

I've got lots of impressions and - much less though - photos (although I still have very few adequate pictures of surroundings, cosplayers etc.; instead of that I've got tons of trash photos from "me-showing-off-in-the-mirror category" ...mmm, I had a great hotel at Japan Expo, huge mirrors were on every wall ) And during the trip I honestly thought that - as soon as I return - I'll readily try to share all those great moments here (now that I fell in love with this blog surprisingly ), but as for now strength to tell anything connected and sensible is absent
So... I just have to begin with something, and hopefully continue when I recover a little xDD
Btw, random fact - we have +35~40 here for almost a month every bloody day... cool, eh?
Be that as it may - suprisingly - the beginning would be foodspam lol! More preciously, small part of loads of japanese-style food shots made during the trip (seems I got infected from Ameblo, ne? xDDD) I'm just not in mood for anything more comprehended))) Later, later...

So let us begin with a bit of Japan Expo food picspam , and later continue with Paris, its macaroon (oooh.... ) and other gastronomic tortures

Me + yum-yum JE takoyaki =

These guys were perfect!



Japan Expo always offered wide range of criminally yummy Japanese food , but for some reason I ignored it for the most part during my previous visits... this time I caught it up And it was incredible! Well, for Japanese bloggers (who naturally form the biggest part of audience here xD) it's nothing unusual (although... how can you be sure, with all these countless pictures of food in every second blog?xDD ), but for me it's definately something very precious)))

... to be continued Take care!

Leaving to JAPAN EXPO! ≧(´▽｀)≦

Yeeeeeah, I'm leaving to JAPAN EXPO tomorrow! Paris, I'm coming! I guess I won't be blogging from there, but I will surely have LOADS of impressions (and photos ) when I return Although this time I'm travelling alone (there will be Moscow friends at JE, but we won't be together all the time), so pictures would be mostly of the event itself and NOT of "me, me, me again - oh wait, here's some random JE scenery, how did it get there? - ME" xDD That's much more interesting for readers, right? xD
So... if anyone who is occasionally reading this is going to be at JE, that's great! Maybe we'll meet there

Once again, thank you all very much for PETA Sadly, I won't be able to give/return PETA for the next ten days, but I'll surely make up for it later on (*^-^*)

Wish everyone all the very best! With love...
