- last christmas -

my mom was sick. and so i bought 2 turkey drumsticks and the two of us celebrated (together with her birthday) in her dormitory. quite a sad christmas.

this year... to save me from tears (eh?)

i went to Disneyland with my sister again!!
(on the Eve. and went to her choir concert on X'mas.)

also listened to 社長's White Christmas (his pronunciation's not bad at all). and ゴム's 初めての恋が終わる時 -Hajimete no Koi ga Owaru Toki- (chaotic as usual). at their blogs, obviously. thanks for singing! 癒されたぁ～

Part 1

*****

i was a tad bit too early.. (for the first time?)

^ bored *yawns* ^

^ got myself a cup of hot cocoa from Doutor ^

^ it’s cloudy (and cold as usual) today… ^

^ walked around in the Disney store (the one outside Disneyland) ^

^ みっきーまうす！！！ (パランティス的な意味でwwwwwwww) ^

^ headgear hat section ^

^ mugcup section ^

then i received a call from my dad, “Where are you?! We’re waiting beside the ticketing booth!!!!”

alamak… *dashes*

*BGM: Kirby Gourmet Race*
^ dare yori mo hayaku hashirinukero~　♪ ^

we entered Disneyland together, but went for separate attractions later. my sister and i were together throughout the outing though

first we had caramel popcorns. then we all took a boatride (and trainride). poor guide, she was trying to make all of us laugh with puns and jokes.

｢あっ、カバが自分をカバって逃げましたよー・・｣
｢・・・・・・｣
｢えーと、参加型・・・（苦笑）｣

i wonder if she knew that half of the people on the boat were foreigners. or did she do it on purpose? :p

*****

went canoeing with my sister. woohoooooo! we failed last year, because we bought the Starlight pass = cheaper but we could only enter after 3pm = the canoeing attraction closes once it gets dark. O￣l_..

the guide’s trying to be interesting again.

｢あっ、野生のシカだ！耳とシッポだけ動く種ですねww｣
(Hey look, wild deers! It’s a kind of species that only the ears and tails move. *grins*)

｢シカは好きでシカ？｣
｢・・・・・・｣
｢そうでシカ・・・｣

｢あっ、野生のおじさんだ！！｣ *points at an old man (mannequin) fishing by the riverside*
(Hey look, wild old man!)

*crowd bursts into laughter*

｢ツッコミどころがあんまりないので、放っておきましょう｣
(There’s nothing to butt in, so let’s just leave him alone.)

*crowd grins*

not bad, bro.

*****

as usual, we went for the merry-go-round and the teacup.

^ mweee ^

had a round of chaotic teacup spinning session again. this time we spinned together… i wonder how did it look like from the others’ point of view. all we heard was, ｢おぃ、あそこヤバくねぇ？｣

^ street performance? ^

^ …?! ^

*****

lunchtime. my sister: chocolate cake + corn soup. me: seafood gratin + fries + coke. yum yum.

nothing special. umm… we were kinda affected by the surrounding atmosphere (many people around us had their faces stuck on the surface of the tables) and dropped dead for about an hour.

*****

other attractions… umm… we managed to ride the Big Thunder Mountain roller-coaster. fun times. and chased after a Japanese couple at the motor race attraction.

^ ooooooh ^

^ i wonder what would’ve happened to me if there weren’t rails to guide the cars… ^

*****

^ got this as a souvenir ^

went (back) to Tsukuba in the evening. thought i could make it for the X’mas Party but apparently the event only started at 9pm, so i decided to help my sister with making X’mas cards instead…

(to be continued)

!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
