I Think I Love Seiyu

Really, Seiyu is actually a lot of fun to shop at. >.> It's almost impossible for us to go to a Seiyu and not buy something. O.O We went yesterday to go buy my Tamagotchi ID L 15th Anniversary Version (I'm kind of a freak for Tamagotchis... I'm currently taking care of 3 at once!), and we landed up not only buying that, but green tea and vanilla ice cream flavored kitkat bars, a Tamagotchi Nano (which my husband had wanted for himself), some yokan (a gelatin-like dessert usually made from sweetened red beans), and mitarashi dango, among other things. ^^; We always seem to walk out with more than what we came in for. It's kind of dangerous.... What makes it worse is that it has a pretty good-sized arcade on the very top floor, so we spent even more money playing Taiko Drum Master and even Pachinko there. xD


Either way, I'm so happy I finally have all of the latest tamagotchis~! They're so much fun, even though sometimes it's so hard to keep up with them all. @_@ But yeah... I've been wanting the 15th Anniversary one for a little while now. It's so cool, because with the 15th Anniversary one, they added some of the older and original Tamagotchi characters back in! I think it's pretty cool that you're now able to see them in full color and in more detail now. ^_^


Ignore the mess in the background.... Just focus on the pretty  Tamagotchi....

Isn't this surprising? I actually got a purple one instead of yet another pink!

My Princess Spacey ID L and my husband's Tamagotchi Nano side by side.... Look how tiny it is! It's also very reminiscent of the older Tamagotchis....


Oh! And also, while we were shopping, I also found this super cute Alice in Wonderland stationary set!




I've already opened it and have written out two letters for my mother and my brother so far. I thought it would be nice to actually send them both a handwritten letter. It's so much more personalized than typing out an email to them or talking to them through Skype. It's such a shame that not too many people write letters anymore... I used to love receiving letters from my friends in the mail when I was younger. It was just so exciting! There's just something special about them... I still have all of the letters from my friends to this day, and every now and then I love to pull them out and re-read them.^_^ It kind of gives me this warm, fuzzy feeling inside! Does that sound strange? 

I kind of went off topic there.... xD Oh well. :P It's my blog, so I guess I can do that if I'd like~! ^.^ Plus, it's more fun if it's random.... Or at least that's what I think. Anyways, I think I'll end my rambling here. Bye bye, everyone!

So Nostalgic~

Does anyone remember those Sailor Moon dolls that were released by Irwin Toys? I used to have one when I was younger, and it was my most favorite doll! Unfortunately now, that doll is at my dad's place, and I would rather not stop by there to go and get it, even though I've been wanting it back for so many years. Amazingly enough, my husband had found the exact same doll off of ebay and he got it for me! I'm so stoked over it!




It was listed as mint condition, but..... I opened the box anyways. >.> ( I can hear the hearts of collectors shattering everywhere... Sorry guys!) I didn't want it just to keep it in a box and put on display, anyways. I wanted the doll so I can play with it like I used to! Think what you will of an adult like me playing with a doll, but it just brings back such fond memories for me. In my opinion, reliving those happy memories is what makes this doll valuable, not the condition it's in. Now I just need to find Tuxedo Mask so Sailor Moon won't be lonely!
