In around two months it will be my two year anniversary of joining WordPress, and I’ve maintained five different blogs with various posting frequencies. I feel that after this time, part of me finally understands what WordPress is really about, and what it isn’t about. So I’d like to take…
The last weekend my husband and I got to lent the company car from where he works, so we could make a trip to IKEA (I thought it would beneficial to have more than two chairs if we were to invite someone over…). On Friday I was in Tokyo and on my way back in…

Last friday I read about the Puttito Hamster Gachapon series on rocketnews and thought them utterly adorable. There have been quite some gachapon that seem to be trying to climb into your drink, but none has been so cute as these hamsters. Not that they serve any other purpose than that they are cute… Though…
So much for “I’ll only read till the end of the chapter”… Good morning everyone (^_^)/
フワフワ (ふわふわ) = fuwafuwa = fluffy, light, airy After looking through my pictures I felt that this is exactly what I need right now, a big fluffy pillow to cuddle with. My husband is away on a business trip and the weather has me so sleepy and with headache that there’s nothing I’d rather do…
