超HAPPYだぜー！

went to shinsaibashi last night with evelyn for shoe shopping cos we both wanted to get new shoes before the rainy season started. all the shoes i brought over were slip ons, so i needed a pair of shoes that covered my whole foot to save it from getting wet! we walked up and down the shopping arcade (i think it's called that haha...it's just an undercover shopping strip) for like three hours. went into each all the shoe stores and in the end evelyn didn't find anything that she really wanted other than a pair of lacostes that she didn't end up getting. as for me, i ended up liking the first two shoes that i saw at the beginning *-* so we went back to the first store, but unfortunately, they didn't have any in my size!! the shop assistant told me to go down to sneaker land in ame mura but we got there too late and the shop was already closed :(

so today, i decided to go to ame mura again, this time with melissa. i ended up buying both pairs *-* they are both comfy and CUTE~!! i mean, just look at them!! *points down* :D :D

the adidas ones were about 6700 yen and the gravis ones were 6900 yen, which i thought were reasonable prices to pay for those shoes. i was going to get vans, but when i tried it on, it made my feet look SUPER manly cos of the style of the shoe. the adidas slip ons are also a little wide at the front but it doesn't make my feet look as big as the vans. and cos it's pink haha it looks a little gentler XD ~

anyways there was only one size left in the gravis shoes and luckily it was just right for me *wipes sweat*. the adidas ones took a little bit more effort to find. i only saw it in only one shoe store. but the guy in sneaker land told me to try ABC Mart at big step instead cos i didn't see any in the shopping arcade last night. so we went there and they didn't sell it. at this stage i was getting really depressed lol, then the lady told me to try the adidas store and gave us directions *thankful*. got to the adidas store and they had it!! in a variety of sizes too!! i was and still am soooo happy :D

another thing i need to note is my impression of ame mura haha. ame mura and shinsaibashi/namba are like next to each other and i find it so amusing how different the atmosphere and styles are in both areas! shinsaibashi/namba has a lot more rockstars, people who think they look and act cool haha. but ame mura on the other hand is totally punk rock and a little scary lol. i don't think i'd feel comfortable walking through ame mura by myself haha. it just has this really unsettling atmosphere to it haha. i don't know why. maybe it's cos all the punk rockers and goths are sitting around smoking and looking all hardcore lol. who knows. even though these areas are so close to each other it's like you're walking into a whole different fashion world haha. *fascinated*

this is a pretty random note haha but i tried to make japanese curry today haha. it looks ok doesn't it! haha. it also tasted ok too *shocked* hahaha. but for next time, i probably need to add a bit more curry paste in. this had taste and a kick to it but the flavor wasn't as deep as i would have liked it. i didn't add any onions in it either cos the supermarket i went to were selling MASSIVE onions in a pack of three T_T. i chose to not buy it cos i knew the other two onions are going to go to waste. so maybe i'll try adding onions next time too haha
