Yay, My birthday is finally here (sorta, april 22). I just remembered like 3 days ago XD.
I feel really old T-T. I know 22 isn’t all that old but I feel like I should still be in high school or something o.O. I’m still mistaken for a 16-year-old at work all the time XD. Not sure if it’s good or bad.
Somehow my birthday never quite goes as planned. I was hoping to go to the botanical gardens for hanami before the rush of people start flooding the place… but alas Joe has work T-T. And whats the point of viewing pretty cherry blossom trees if you can’t do it with the person you love *sob*. Ah well.

Might go buy new lip piercing stuff tomorrow then… and I’m sure I’ll be tempted to get a second hole in my lip XD. I’m just not sure if they can initially put an acrylic retainer in a new piercing as I can’t have metal in my face at work O_o. I shall ask though ^^. Happy birthday to me *puts hole in lip* hooray!
I was thinking maybe of a tattoo…. but that’s something I’d rather put a TON of thought into… well I have put a ton of thought into it but I’m just not sure what to start with XD.

Time for more fun pictures from work, hooray!

Finally go baby bearded dragons in at work. I want.

I like hams

Cute fat sleeping ham XD.

Yuh, Ima loser with my cute animal pictures XD. Might as well get some sort of enjoyment out of my work I suppose. Should just own my own pet shop! Perhaps one day (*cough*the betta bowl NYC*cough*).

Lastly for tonight, I have a new song obsession. “want want want” by 12012. I thought the song was really pretty at first but then I started some slight lyric comprehension that got me interested enough to go look them up. Now I’m in love. Beautiful song both musically and lyrically. Really some how reminds me of The Cure o.O. and we all know how much of a huge closet Cure fan I am :D. Robert Smith = much Jrock inspiration FYI :P.

Night!

Here I go, forgetting I have a blog again T-T. Oh the shame!

Soooo since my last update I have received my other fishie without any problems ^^. Kinda just took me a while before I could get any pictures of her though… (which I finally got my camera charger back so I can take pretty pictures again <3). Sooo picture of Moon:

All white, very pretty and she has a boyfriend on the way rofl…. two in fact. I really want fish babies ><. I WILL get them! I was going to set up a practice spawn between two of my crowntails… but for all the trouble it’s worth I might as well just wait and breed the higher quality fish. I have two 20 gallon tanks on the way as well… neither of which I have to pay for :D. Should make very good grow out tanks. I like free stuff!

Other than fish, I finally got all of my furniture and clothes moved over to Joe’s house. It’ll be nice to have more that one pair of shoes now XD. And the weather is getting so much nicer I can wear a lot of my naoto stuff around and be frilly XD. My friend Pete picked me up a bunch of stuff while he was visiting Rocky in Japan. Closet child = awesome. I only wish they’d ship to the US.

Next month is the sakura matsuri in the Brooklyn botanical gardens. Really can’t wait ^^. I’ll finally get to wear my yukata with the cute fishies on it (that I didn’t have to sew myself this time around XD). Pete said Yero should be coming up for this round… and Radhika might come as well. Seems almost like a small KCP reunion <3. Just need to drag Rocky and Max over from Chicago and we’re about set! Not until way after that fact that I realize how much I miss my little “Japanese” family.

Lastly I bought tickets for Ayabie’s “world tour” thingy… Hooray Aoi! Not much to say on that at the moment XD.

Urmm…. Seems to be about it for now. I lead a boring life T-T.

Urgh… I have had the worst day in a long time today. Besides things at work being all screwed up because of renovations I was suppose to get my imported betta’s that I’ve been waiting weeks for finally overnight shipped to me. I woke up at effen 7 am on 4 hours of sleep to be ready for their arrival…. time passed by and before I knew it I had to go to work at 3 without any sign of my fish. Thankfully Joe was going to be home to wait for them… time passed some more till it was like 6 pm and I knew something had to be wrong. I called up the shipping company to find out my package never even made it on a truck. The drive just never picked it up to be delivered. They agreed to keep their facilities open so Joe could just go pick it up…. but once they finally found it the bags had leaked everywhere and both fish were dead T-T. I cannot explain how pissed off I was… I seriously almost left work simply because I was so pissed and full of frustration. Now I have to sort a whole bunch of crap out between the carrier, transhipper and breeder. I truly couldn’t wait to get that fish too… he was so pretty, it’s such a waste.

There is some what good news. The female platinum halfmoon I ordered was left out of that shipment. They just forgot to pack her XD. Soooo she was shipped out tonight via express mail (not crappy DHL) and should arrive just fine. Linda said she only gets like 1 or 2 cases of bag leakage a year, meaning its likely DHL just completely mishandled the package resulting in the death of my other two fish. I’m trying to remain confident that she’ll be ok in US postal express shipping. I REALLY REALLY hope she’ll arrive safe. I would feel at least a little less discouraged about what happened.
I now have to sort out with the original seller what to do about this whole situation. I’m hoping he’ll replace the fish with a similar one from the same spawn, I was really looking forward to my panda fish T-T. If not I’m sure I’ll just get refunded… and have to pick out new fish -.-

urgh…

I also have to re-setup my breeding tank. Kyo got a bad case of fin rot out of no where o.o! Chi was completely fine. So it’ll be some time before he’s back to his healthy self and able to breed and care for babies ^^. Patience truly is the #1 requirement in betta breeding…. I should pick easier hobbies XD.
