random kitty pics + yummy food 2 celebrate my 5th TOMAnniversary!!!! <3

i will post up the pics later... xD
wow, it took a long time, but here are the pics!! (:


the days before, during, and after my 5th anniv. of being a toma fan, i got to eat some yummy foods to celebrate!! hehe. 
1st is okonomiyaki from a mini japan fair!! it was pretty good, except i don't like it with bits of ginger inside! =T




i wanted to try this matcha green tea slush with red beans mainly cuz i've seen it in pico! LOL. 
it was really tasty!! ~___~



it isn't photogenic, but it tastes really good!! the Aloha Pineapple smoothie from jamba juice!!
Pineapple Juice Blend, Pineapple Sherbet (Contains Milk), Strawberries, Nonfat Plain Yogurt (Contains Milk), Bananas, Ice.


this wooden ladle-ish thing...i bought it but not sure if i'll use it much. lol. so far, only used it once, to eat rice porridge. xD
i like it cuz it reminds me of shrines in japan, where you have to wash your hands with something kinda like this before you go in. 


CURRY!! (kavya, are u reading this?? xD) 
i ate curry to celebrate my toma anniversary. hehe. and drank green tea. used my fancy japanese bowl and teacup. ~_~
it's just curry from a package at mitsuwa, but it was pretty good. mildly hot. 



this is how kinokuniya (at mitsuwa) looks now. it is so cramped inside. T___T they only took half the space that sanseido took up and the other space is now used to sell exercise equipment and massage chairs. sighhhhhh.

i don't have a good pic of the previous book store at mitsuwa, sanseido, so i'll just post a pic from Yelp here. this is what it used to look like...i bought a lot of toma stuff from sanseido these past 3 years!! so many memories, and now it's gone and replaced with this cramped kinokuniya bookstore. sighhhhhhh. =[




some snacks + super yummy Snapple peach tea, and 1 an pan (red bean paste filling)! ~___~

And here are some pics of my sister's friend's cat. we are still taking care of it for now, but eventually it will go live with them. it's grown a lot and scratched a lot of our stuff (curtains, furniture...), but it's fun to have it around. xD it sneaked in my room twice and freaked me out and i had to wipe all my things off. T___T but it's still cute and sometimes it's nice how it always follows me around or wants to sit next to me or walks over my lap or randomly pats me on the arm or leg or randomly licks my ankle or rubs up against my legs or makes cute cat noises. hehehe...

he sleeps most of the time, and he looks the cutest when it's sleeping, so that's why i mostly only have sleeping pics of him! hahaha.


licking himself clean again. he also will lick off any water i splash onto him to help keep him cool on hot days! T__T and the 1st time we saw him licking all over, including his butt, we were all like "ewww!!! o_o" xD but even his butt is cute though!! LOL.











oh, during hot days, i drape a wet paper towel over him to help keep him cool! xD but he usually takes it off pretty quick.



sleeping on his favorite (and pretty scratched up and expensive!) chair. xD


actually awake for this pic!!! xD but it was hot, so he took a nap soon afterwards!! xD



oh, these two stray cats... we felt sorry for them so we've been feeding them. the mom cat, i nicknamed Mangy Cat. lol. its fur is all discolored and u can't see it very well in this pic, but it's got a weird half black, half brown face!!! the black kitten is cute though. sometimes they make cute sounds and wrestle and chase each other... sometimes they come up real close to our screen door and look inside like they want to come in! but our cat likes to look at them...and the kitten's dad is all stripey so we think it might also be our cat's dad!! we feed him too. xD
