mika's online diary: 2020

henlow everyone! Welcome back to another blog! This is a little different compared to my usual blog posts, but! I am happy to do my current Animal Crossing New Horizons House Tour! (and a bit of my island as well lol) I've been playing Animal Crossing since the DS era so having them release the New Horizons on Switch is just.... yeah... this just made me super happy! I noticed that Animal Crossing New Horizons is pretty much in craze now, even people who never played Animal Crossing games started playing this one mainly because of the Quarantine and lock downs all over the world, so I think they released this game in good timing, more friends to play with! Super happy!

Anyway! Let's start with the tour!

This is my house! (my boyfriend visited my island lol) I just went with the simple black roof and just added a few flowers on the side to add a little bit of homey feel to it! And of course I have a dog house lol

Before touring you guys inside the house, just wanted to share the area near my home! My island's fruit is actually pears, but I'm able to plant the rest of the fruits, apples, oranges, cherries, and peaches, and of course coconuts!

My island's name is lilycove by the way, based on a city from the Pokemon games (Ruby and Sapphire)

Moving on to my house tour!

This is the living room! I seriously could not decide on what theme to go with, I wanted to go for a Kawaii, Pink magical girl theme, or BL theme, Pokemon Theme, Anime/Otaku themed house, I had a hard to deciding, so I just went for a simple and plain aesthetic home lol

I have pets as mentioned earlier lol I have a dog house outside, a cat tower, hamster, and fish tank in the living room. I have a few instruments as well, and adding plants in the house really adds a relaxing vibe to it!

Next room...

My favourite room inside the house... my Kitchen! I'm still missing like the real cooking station/burners, so I just set it up like this for the meantime lol

But! my bathroom is actually funnier because...

There's an onsen inside my bathroom haha! I don't have a bathtub yet, or like a shower area, so I just made this into like a jacuzzi for now haha!

I have a few items like the towel rack, bathroom sink, toilet, and just added a few things to make it look a little less empty!

And last but not the least... my bedroom!
Again, couldn't decide on a single theme, so I just went for that classic wood/white/cream/warm color aesthetic. I'm still planning on upgrading the look of my house/interior of my room, but for now, I am pretty happy with how I was able to build this!

But! If you want to see the place/my island... I actually made a video as well for my youtube channel!

Feel free to watch this video as well in case you guys want to see! I know this is a tough time for everyone, this pandemic is hitting everyone hard, I can only pray for everyone to be safe and healthy! I know the circumstances differ depending on where you are from, but hopefully you all are properly taken care off by your country... Keep safe everyone and thanks so much for reading! Otsu!

Gotta catch em'all!

This was, without a doubt, one of the happiest days of my life! some of you may already know, but, I think it's pretty obvious, but... I love Pokemon

I've played ALL and I mean ALL the games from Gameboy color, advance, SP, DS, DSi, 2DS, 3DS, and now, Nintendo Switch! I also played the card games before, and I watched the entire Pokemon Anime franchise! My favorite seasons are of course; the original Indigo League, I also love the Jhoto League series, XYZ, and Sun and Moon series! These are my favorites among the anime!

well that's a brief background on how much I love the franchise, so! let's get into the post! Last January 3, 2020, during our Tokyo Trip, Dyan, marianne and I went to Pokemon Center Tokyo DX and got to experience dining at the Pokemon Cafe!

I'd say we're pretty lucky since it was during the Sword and Shield promotion period! So we got to try limited edition Sword and Shield food, and the layout of the cafe and some of their interior designs or displays were also SwSh themed!

I wish my kitchen and dining area looked like this lol

It was hard to choose from the menu since there were a loooot of options! I really wanted to order the sobble themed dish because he's my baby and my partner pokemon, but I was craving for rice that time so I decided to get the scorbunny dish!

I also got a Cocoa drink in an Eevee mug!

Dyan ordered a dessert dish, Jigglypuff cheesecake and a Berry Soda Tapioca Moltress drink!

Marianne ordered the Pokemon Cafe Fruits Pancake!

And since Dyan and I ordered drinks, we get to pick out a Pokemon coaster through a Kuji! (raffle) and guess what, Dyan got Zamazenta, and I got Zacian! Lucky we got both legendaries!

(and I play the Sword version and I got Zacian!!)

There was also an ADORABLE PIKACHU SHOW! uurghhhhh it was so cute I wanted to cry!

Be sure to reserve!! It's going to be hard to walk in with no reservations especially on a busy day or weekend!

Anyway after eating, the Pokemon Center Tokyo DX (which is the biggest pokemon center) was right beside it! so I just had to go there ohoho!

Anyway's, I know I don't have a lot of photos... BUT!

I do have a 19 min vlog of the entire Cafe and Center experience! I'm going to tour you guys lolol

Well there you have it! I hope you guys watched the vlog and had fun watching and reading!

Till next time!

Otsu!

How's 2020 so far? I know everything has been pretty rough all over the world, but I hope whoever is reading this is doing great! ~(>_<~) Anyway, I know I've been MIA for about 8 months as I mentioned in my post update, a lot has happened, and I want to slowly get my track back to blogging (besides vlogging lol will do my best to do both!) To be honest I don't know where to start haha! -nervous laughter- so I'll try to just create posts and post what I feel like I want to share during that moment, so my backlog posts may not be in order, but I will be sure to put the dates so at least it will be easier!

So! putting that aside, Dyan, Marianne and I are doing okay, we're now living in the same apartment building by the way! Thank you! lol so we get to hang out in each other's apartments whenever we want!

Last March 14, 2020, which was of course, White Day！we celebrated it together! They went to my apartment in the afternoon, and we had a movie marathon! I also got them these adorable Chocolate Tiramisu Bear cups!

Happy White Day! (´ ∀ ` *) lol
Since we were so engrossed with the movie we were watching (we watched horror films lol) we forgot to prepare dinner, so we just had cup ramen and instant yakisoba for our dinner meal!

Japanese cup ramen is actually really good though! haha! I'm planning on doing an updated apartment tour so I can share it with everyone! (although I did upload one on youtube hehe)

Last February, it actually snowed pretty well too!

EVERYTHING WAS WHITE! ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ the city was covered in white snow and everything was soooo pretty!

we also had a really expensive hair pamper day! (my first time in a Japanese salon) I didn't get a haircut though, just colors!

besides that, between the course of November (which was Pokemon Sword and Shield release date) to early February, there's still a bunch of Pokemon themed stuff everywhere! (which of course makes me suppper happy!)

(ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

Mister Donuts has the cutest Pokemon themed items! (will share a separate post on that soon!)

but they had this adorable drink!

I mentioned in my life update post that we went to Tokyo during New Years, and we actually went to the Pokemon Cafe and Pokemon Center Tokyo DX! Of course I will be posting that separately as well ohohohoho!

But yeah, I just wanted to post this just to update you guys on how I've been and all, so thanks again for sticking around!

See you next time!

Otsu!

well henlow!

It's been a looong while my friends! I did not really mean to neglect my blog, but I just focused on my YouTube channel in the time I was gone (which apparently, was 8 months ago lol) but yes! I missed my blog and I missed writing about my daily life, what I've been up to, and all that~ in case you didn't know, I renewed my working VISA in Japan, so instead of just 1 year, I extended again! ohohoho! Anyway, this post is more of an update post, just to let everyone know I'm still alive and kinkin'

I do have A LOT and I mean A LOT of queued posts to share! (Osaka trip 2, Summer Sonic, Fireworks Festival, Tokyo Trip, and so much more!) I do plan on posting those backlogs just so I can also share my photos with everyone!

But just an FYI, yes... I'm actually more active on my Youtube channel (I post vlogs hehe), so all those backlogs that I didn't share in this blog, they're all on my YouTube channel! so go check that out!

I plan on revamping this blog as well, hopefully I'll find the time to do it =3= I'm too busy... playing Animal Crossing! ohohoho! I will do a blog post on it as well!

but yes, just here to let you know... I'M ALIVE!

I know things have been rough these past 3 months, I mean 2020 just started and we've been bombarded with terrifying bush fires, possible WWIII scares, multiple volcanic eruptions, locusts swarms, and of course let's not forget the pandemic that's scaring the world as it is.

I hope this pandemic comes to and end soon, and I hope that you and your families are safe and healthy, wherever you are...

Let's just continue and try to become the sunshine the world needs right now, and lets all help each other get through these tough times!

Will be back soon!

Dyan and Marianne says hi! we're all doing good!

These are super recent pics by the way, just so you don't get confused with the backlogs I'll be uploading lol these were taken last saturday (March 21, 2020) when we watched Wotakoi drama in cinemas!

otsu!
