tomas_room2 | 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.

stripey (0)

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.

stripey (8)

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

stripey (9)

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

stripey (6)

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

The rice looks like Indian rice :D I thought the japanese and indian rice looked and tasted quite different? anyway, looking at it and all the other foods made me so hungry xD
That's one big bookstore by the way :O There is no such thing selling Japanese magazines in my city T_T
and the cat is so cute.. my friend had one too, since it was a kitten. It ran away with the neighbor's cat after it grew up though xD

oh, the curry came from a package, but that rice is just regular rice that i eat everyday. xD i think the brand of rice is probably from vietnam or china, not sure. but you're right, the japanese rice is usually more sticky.

you mean kino is big? ohhh. i guess it seems big, but sanseido used to be twice as big!! aww...that sucks, but i guess there must be a lot of toma fans that don't live near japanese bookstores too...at least you can buy stuff online, but i hope you get to go to a japanese market or japanese bookstore sometime. it's kind of cool! ~_~

thanks! ran away with the neighbor's cat?? haha. that's why we don't let our cat outside. it's very troublesome to go in and out of the house and always have 2 be careful 2 keep it from going out though! lol. i would like to take it for walks in the park sometimes, but my sister is paranoid and afraid it'll get in fights with dogs, so not yet... =T

I see, I'd surely like to taste the rice from vietnam too ;)
Kino looks stuffy, but Sanseido looks really spacious and huge.. I wouldn't mind if there was something atleast like Kino here xD
haha, we don't have pets at all in my house.. mostly because my parents think it's high maintenance, and my brother likes dogs more than cats and i like cats more than dogs so we can never agree on anything XD

haha, nothing that special about rice from vietnam to me. but i guess cuz i've been eating it all my life...

ohh. yes, sanseido was so nice and big!! aw. i hope somehow, a small japanese bookstore will come to your city. ~_~ or at least some kinda japanese-ish shop or market.

i see... we never had indoor pets before, either! this cat is lucky, cuz it was only supposed to be temporary, and it was so cute when it was little. lol. now it sleeps anywhere it wants and tries to eat our food too. xD

i feel the same about indian rice :D
yeah i hope so too :)
lol cute cat.. my friend's kitten was really cute too, but after it grew up, it began scratching her if she didn't give it milk.. so i think she is kinda relieved it ran away xD

actually, i checked, and it's jasmine rice from thailand! lol.

really? wahhh. T__T yeah, we've all been bitten and scratched by Stripey (my nickname for him xD) but just randomly, when he wants to play. i guess cats love biting and scratching each other for fun. ^^;

Ooh jasmine rice! First time hearing about it :O
Stripey.. apt name :D haha yeah I guess so :)

Kate-chan,
on his birthday :)
I ate omu rice+takoyaki

and.. okonomiyaki~!! oishii ne..
but I failed to finish my meal though..
I guess it'll come with small portion.. and.. yes it is..
but.. inside that omu rice.. ~_~ a lot of chicken.. rice.. haha I'm full..

if you notice from my twitter.. that omu rice.. it's look tiny.. but.. when you're start to eat it.. ehem..

wah!! i'm so envious! i only ate curry (it was chinese style and not very good, though) and pocky 2 celebrate his bday.

i love okonomiyaki!! ^_^ aw, i guess it was too much food ne? hehe. i saw the pic on yr twitter and also the pretty bday cake for toma!! if you don't mind, could i share the toma bday cake pic on my toma love blog later?? hehe.

eh? it's different right? from Japanese cuisine..
have u seen from Indonesia fans? how they celebrate Toma's birthday :)

me too, last time.. I tried from non japanese restaurant. and it taste weird xD

ah- dozou, the cake.. order by weiting from her friend.. I feel guilty to eat that cake lol.. full of Toma xD

i have seen TFGirls' post about how they celebrated, but i dunno about other indonesia toma fans...

thanks! that cake looks yummy! hehehe. i would feel kinda embarrassed eating a cake with toma's pics all over it too. =P
