Sophie #2 ☆ My New Room ☆

Hello Kiwi fans! 

It's my summer holidays at the moment and as I have 3 months off this summer, I've decided to be extra productive! I have spent the last month clearing out my bedroom at home and today I went to Ikea to buy furniture! It is finally complete! Would you like to see it?


My bedroom is in the attic and it's quite small, but I have made it as pretty as I can! Do you like it? 

Here are some of the things I bought today as final touches~




The lamp and the flowers were so cute, I had to buy them! I had to build the chair at home though! I wish I had recorded myself, it took me much longer than it should have hahaha.

I also bought a disposable camera at the start of summer so I can take lots of photos of the memories I make, I have 3 photos left, I hope I can share them with you when they are developed!



I also spent last week recording my lines for Oishii! Kiwi's first single! I am so excited! The song is brilliant and I can't wait for you to hear it! Make sure you like Oishii! Kiwi's facebook page to keep updated on our release!

Bye Bye!~

Sophie #1 ☆ My Summer Weekend ☆

Hello Kiwi fans!

Last weekend I went to visit my friend who lives in Plymouth, which is a coastal city right in the South of England!


This weekend was the hottest in the UK for 5 years! We spent Saturday by the sea sitting in the sun and watching the boats come in and out of the harbour.




That's my friend in the photo above, haha!

We had a traditional English lunch before we left the port. Yum!



We left on Sunday morning but I took some photos on the train home, it's such a beautiful journey along the south coast! Make sure to visit it if you ever come to the UK!



Have you seen Oishii! Project's 'Smiling' cover yet? Make sure to watch it! I have a solo line at the end!


That's all from me! Bye bye~

4/16/13 CHALLENGE #5 & 5/15/12 CHALLENGE #6 (Nina)

Challenge #5

What's on my ipod? Well my music consists of mainly rock and pop :)
Pop being Vocaloid! My top are songs from Last Note, 40mP, and jin. 
They're all wonderful Vocaloid producers *^*7
Rock consisting of Christian rock. My favorite bands are Relient K and House of Heroes. I actually went to a House of Heroes concert and it was like I died and went to heaven.
I usually listen to my music when I'm on the bus, trying to sleep, blogging, texting, running, ahaha I love my music! ^^

Challenge #6

My plans for the summer consists of finding a job and preparing for Anime Fest. I need a job because I made into varisty cheer which means buying the uniforms, poms, bloomers, shoes, etc. All that stuff can build up! Not to mention I have to save money for Anime Fest as well!! My summer will be pretty boring :/ On the bright side, however, I'll get to go to Austin, Texas for the fourth of July so I'm excited for that :D


3/19/13 CHALLENGE #3 & 4/04/13 CHALLENGE #4 (Nina)

Challenge #3

I've decided for this challenge, I'm going to talk about my youtaite life. So far, it has been everything to me. My night and day. How I got into it? Well.. at first I started out as a voice actor/fandubber (how ever you want to call it).haha it was a blast. As I was strolling through tumblr a picture of this girl named Hatsune Miku appeared. I instantly was so curious and got hooked. I've been singing for about 4 years now and I couldn't have been more happier :) I've grown and grown which each cover and for that, I am blessed. The daily life of a youtaite (for me, anyway) is to wake up, record, mix, and go to sleep aha xD The best part is that it connects your hobby with everyone around the globe. It's truly amazing. :)

Challenge #4

I want to be a teacher or a doctor in the future. I chose these career choices because of my love for helping people. Teachers teach children about the world, mathematics, and so much more! We get our education from them and learn to become amazing citizens. Doctors save lives and put their time into making people better. It's like a win win deal. My goals in the future are: go to college, get married, have a family, and die remembered. I believe with the effort, I will achieve these goals :)

3/02/13 CHALLENGE #1 & 3/10/13 CHALLENGE #2 (Nina)

Challenge #1
1.) What's your blood type? A
2.) What kind of food do you like? I love love love sweet food!
3.) What's your dream? To be remembered
4.) Favorite color? green
5.) Favorite thing to do on the weekends? Hang out with my friends or sing :)

The start of Oishii Boot Camp was a bit of a rush. It was definitely a surprise to me. I see why the staff decided to put this upon us so it is a bit of an accomplishment to get things done.


FIVE FACTS!
~ I'm Vietnamese
~ My current location is in Texas
~ I sing on YouTube
~ I cosplay
~ I can do my left splits

((will update this post with an updated picture))

Challenge #2
1) Who inspires you and why? My mother inspires me because of her strong will. She's dealt with her own mother's death, raising children, and her divorce. Through all of that, she still smiles. That's why she inspires me. Her sunshine will never fade.
2) Why did you want to be apart of O!P? Honestly, my best friend and I tried out together. We wanted to be a part of something great! Sadly, one I made it. Because of that sad occurrence, I promised to give my best for her. ; v; <3 So far it hasn't been enough but I shall push it my limit :)

Hi hi! チカゲ です~

Hello my dear Kiwi readers!

Thank you for dropping by this blog! I hope you will enjoy reading our posts, although my life in my opinion, has nothing exciting to offer \(@;◇;@)/

I wore this dress to church today. I've worn this in a school festival before and took this picture in my dorm. Mom said I looked like a baby ( ̄□ ̄;)



I'd like to talk about my idea of ~idols~. Personally, I don't want to call myself one even though Oishii! Project itself is a net idol group. I'd like to think idols are personal preferences on who you, readers and fans, want to admire. So I leave it up to you to decide whether or not I am an idol in your eyes.(^_^)

Is this the face of an idol? www

Or this one?
I'll try harder ╮(╯▽╰)╭

But I love doing my best! I want to be the best entertainer and musician I can be. 

I love making new friends! So please go ahead and talk to me if you'd like  ⊂((・▽・))⊃ I love getting to know others and even work with them if they want to! 

You can find me at:

Have a nice day!

Hello Kiwi fans! Who is looking forward to spring? I know I am! The cold weather here makes me sad, I can’t wait for summer! I have been dressing in pastels recently to welcome spring!

One of my favourite things to do shop, and today I went all out! Last week I bought tickets to see Beyoncé in London in May (OH MY GOSH SO EXCITING I THINK I MIGHT EXPLODE), and my friends have just paid me back for their tickets – so a shopping spree was in order! Here are some photos of what I bought ~☆
I needed some necessities like mascara and eyeliner, but I found such a cute scarf in New Look! I got some pink accessories to go with it (my favourites are the crown ring and the anchor bracelet; I hope you can see them okay on this fuzzy photo!). I bought the pink cardigan to match everything. So much pink! (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧
Gilly Hicks was having a sale this week, so I got a really comfy pair of pyjama shorts and a new dance shirt! I can’t wait to wear it in classes this week! It still smells like Gilly Hicks as well, I need to buy their perfume soon!
I also found these shoes but I didn’t buy them (╥_╥) I don’t own anything that goes with them but look *___________* I love shoes so much ♡
We also went to Wagamamas for lunch today! Ahhhhh their ramen is so good ヽ(;▽;)ノ
Years ago I fell in love with their pork ramen special and it’s finally made it onto their menu as a regular! I feel so happy after eating their food, it makes you feel warm inside.
Make sure to like the Oishii Kiwi facebook page!! We’re almost at 300 likes, how crazy is that?! We really appreciate your support, so thank you so much!

Good evening, everyone! Did you know the Oishii!Kiwi members have a challenge?
They must sing their favorite love song! Just for you! Please enjoy my song, Valentine!

Yesterday was Superbowl XLVII !! I’m rooting for my hometown team!
It was an amazing game of brother rivalry.




Here’s my outfit for the party! I’m only 1 in shorter than Number 27!
That’s small for a football player!


Dinner was delicious! An amazing combination of Italian, Thai, and American food.
I have such talented cooks around me. I’m going to gain weight…..




Meet Edgar! I’m so proud of the Ravens for winning their second Superbowl!
What an intense night!

I want to get back to work now.
Thanks for reading!!

Hello Kiwi readers! It’s time for my monthly post again (‾◡◝)/


I came back to school a week ago. HELP, HW! ;n; Well, I’m used to the workload now, thankfully. My professors are very interesting and I like knowing that they’re so passionate in their field! In statics, instead of teaching real physics-related material, my lecture prof went straight to talking about real life engineering applications such as studying the structural behavior of the bridge through different methods which include finite element analysis. I thought it was a pretty cool topic! (and I know most of you will find this boring, haha). 
Well, I’m still in statics and I don’t think I have to deal with anything like differential equations yet, although I’m looking forward to that.  So yeah, welcome to my freshman life  d=(´▽`)=b
I’m working on a song cover! But I’m still doing the mixing and doing my cover art for the video (´;д;`) I really want to learn how to animate and make my own music videos!~ I really don’t want to use other people’s artworks (not that it’s bad, just a preference of mine!). There are other activities that I want to initiate for Kiwi and I hope they go wel.l I’m really passionate in making the group the best it can be! 
So to end this post, I’ll show you a signature portrait of mine that I drew a long time ago. This is me in 2D character! 
… *chirp* I need to be more productive.
Anyway, thank you so much for supporting O!Kiwi and the rest of the O!Project groups. To new readers, thanks for dropping by and taking the time reading our blog. It means so much to me and the rest of my teammates. Look out for the intro videos also! You’ll soon see how boy-ish and dorky I sound behind that girly simple appearance of mine ( * ^ * )
See you in the next post!

Hello Kiwi fans!
January is definitely not my favourite month. To me, January always means very cold weather (usually colder than December), exams, hardly any daylight, and saying goodbye to my family after Christmas, I already miss them!
For the past few weeks I’ve been doing nothing but revising for my upcoming exams, which has not been very fun (´Д`。) My university gives us study leave during exam season, so we don’t have to attend any lessons, but I find I stay inside all day revising. I start missing the daytime which makes me sad, I love the sun.
To keep my spirits up, I have been hitting the January sales! I love shopping a little too much… Last week I went shopping with my friends Chloe and Izzy and bought a lot, but here are some of my favourite purchases.
There is a motion sensor floodlight outside my window which keeps me awake at night, so I bought this cute eyemask to help me sleep, and it’s really working! It was such a cute design I couldn’t say no.
I bought these adorable keyrings with my two friends. We are living together in a house next year, so to celebrate we bought these for our house keys! I picked the purple one as it’s my Kiwi colour (⌒▽⌒)☆


Do you remember last week when I showed you photos of the flooding?
Well this week we’ve had another extreme – snow! And lots of it! My friends and I took a break from revision to enjoy the snow while it lasted, it looked so pretty!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your January, I am already looking forward to February! Partly because Oishii! Ichigo is releasing their MV for Ainano! Have you figured out who is in the teaser trailer? I haven’t! No matter how much I beg, the Ichigo girls won’t tell me 。・゚゚・(>д<)・゚゚・。 Myself and Mini Cherry Charlotte have been trying to work it out all week!
Remember Kiwi and Lychee’s member introduction videos are coming out this week! I’m nervous already, I hope you guys like the new groups as much as I do!

Happy almost New Year! Just a little announcement, I will upload a New Year’s vlog/song tomorrow. Hope you look forward to it! I will be doing a bit of “dancing” there too, hohoho. Here’s a preview! 

I think from now on, I will be posting in the Oishii Kiwi tumblr at the end of every month to sum up what I’ve done over said month! (・∀・`●) So today is the 30th, almost nearing the New Year, and I will summarize what I have done over December.
To start off, we finally got our new members in Oishii! Project and hopefully over time I can get to know all of the Mini Cherries! Everyone in Oishii! Project is working hard so look out for some exciting updates~! 
As for school, I managed to do well in my finals and thankfully my grades were very satisfying! College work is tough (;´Д`) I studied so much that I cried and ended up losing weight from stress. But I’m gaining it all back this break, because I’m stuffing myself (´-ω-^) And for this spring semester, my classes will be tougher! I have a new class called Mechanics Statics, and I have no idea what to expect from this class. I’ll keep doing my best!

Also, I watched excellent shows this month! I first watched The Hobbit in my town’s movie theatre… for free ( ゚Д゚) As for why, it’s a long story and had to do with technical difficulties in the theatre. But in any case, my sister and I got this surprising Christmas treat!~ Then I watched The Nutcracker ballet in Lincoln Center, NY! It was sooo pretty. The stage, the music, the dancers, everything! My mom and I were so impressed that we ordered tickets for the next ballet performance, Sleeping Beauty that will be held in February. I can’t wait!
 
Then today I watched Les Misérables. Never in my life, have I heard so many sobbings in the movie theatre. My parents cried and I cried too. It was such a good movie, and I don’t want to explain the entire plot for those don’t know what the movie’s about, because it will take too long for me to explain. But I highly recommend this movie to anyone! It’s beautiful, tragic, yet hopeful at the end. One of my favorite characters is a girl named Cosette! She’s so pure and innocent and she wore the most beautiful clothes in the entire movie 


As for my Christmas celebration, it went very well! For my gifts, I got clothes, beauty products, some money, and an iPod touch! My family received a lot of chocolate too, fufu (o ̄∇ ̄) And speaking of iPod, I finally have an Instagram! So check me out if you’d like. My account is mochaclaire \(・∀・*)
So yeah, I’m getting ready now for the countdown!  Also, I made a list of New Year goals in my Blogspot. You can check out my personal blog, which I update weekly!~ 
Have a wonderful New Year!

Happy New Year Oishii fans!
I can’t believe it’s January already, I don’t want to go back to university! It will be nice to see my flatmates again but Cardiff is so cold at this time of the year.
My Christmas break has flown past so far! I celebrated Christmas with my mum in the first week back, saw my best friends from home, and went to a Christmas party!
While I was away my Japanese school uniform arrived, along with my copy of GAMETIME! Ahhh I keep listening to Ainano and Hana, I can’t decide which is my favourite!
I visited my dad for a week during Christmas too, it was so nice to see all of my family again, especially my older brothers! Every Christmas we divide any boxes of chocolate we get between us and use them like gambling chips and play Tekken or racing games. Whoever wins gets the chocolate! Is that weird? Probably, hahaha!
After that I headed back home where I’ve been revising and watching all the good movies in TV with my mum. It’s so bleak outside we can’t do anything else! It hasn’t stopped raining here for days, and a lot of the roads here have been blocked due to severe flooding. I’m just hoping it doesn’t get any worse!
There’s no rest for me though, I’m spending the next couple of days in London visiting my friend’s family, TIME TO HIT THE SALES. I have no money, but those clothes vouchers I got for Christmas will come in handy, fwa fwa fwa!
My friend also introduced me to Avatar recently, wow I have been missing out! I finished Avatar: The Last Airbender in about two weeks and I’ve already finished the Legend of Korra series, oops. It was really good! The Oishii girls have also tempted me into watching Idolm@ster. I have to admit, I really like it >_<
I think that’s it from me! Make sure to check out my personal channel for a sneak peak at my first singing cover (http://splodge82.tumblr.com/post/39328491898/hanabi-ikimono-gakari-i-spent-the-whole-of), and subscribe to my Oishii channel (http://www.youtube.com/oishiisplodge) as I’ll be updating it soon with a new vlog! Oh oh and please like our facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/OishiiKiwi)! We put up daily photos almost every day!
