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!
