Izakaya Adventure

 It has been YEARS since I've been to a 居酒屋/izakaya and this past Saturday I had the chance to go to one with my friend!

The weather has been much more chilly recently, so it's time for the long sleeves and jackets~  I ought to get some short jackets as I've currently only got hoodies, a couple baseball-style jackets, and then a full-length winter coat.

Kokorolia 6th Year Anniversary

I'm a bit backed up on posts!  I recently went to the 6-year anniversary event (it's about 2 weeks long) for the maid café I normally go to, Kokorolia!

There were special meal sets, 一番賞 (prize drawing), and rotating uniforms and costumes the maids wore!

I tried out the heart-shaped braids again.  It's still very finicky for me, and I was wearing long nails again, but I got it done!

The event was massively popular.  It'd been about a week since the start on the day we went, and the prizes were roughly half gone already!  Based on the prize displays on the wall, which show how many of each prize has been drawn and how many are left, there were over a thousand prize chances.

Exo and I both drew G-tier prize, which is a random swimsuit Polaroid.  He gave me his 😹

We got one drawing chance each as we'd ordered the special meal set, but you could pay extra to draw again (NT$320 if I recall correctly?  Not cheap!)  It seems many customers did indeed pay for extra chances, though.

The girl at the table next to us got one of the top prizes, a printed maid scroll!

My hair and makeup for the day

I wore red because I wanted to try out the NT$19 set of nails I'd bought on a whim.  The actually fit pretty well, but were a bit transparent so you could see the borders of the gel tape underneath, and when I was removing them, the deformed easily.  So they were a one-time wear set, but I think it was worth!

Nails for the day

The special meal set I got was the shrimp pesto pasta!  I chose the fizzy drink because usually they're prettier (the other option was regular red tea)

The photo doesn't show it well, but it had a gradient in color!

The pasta ended up having bacon in it 😿but luckily since I was there with Exo, I picked out the bacon and handed them over 😈

Big shrimp patty!

The pasta was delicious and filling!

 Overall, it was a lovely experience!  My friend Exo had to leave early for work (we only got a seat just before 3pm as it was fully booked at 1pm) but I stayed for my full time and chatted with the maids :3  Learned that Nic also plays Monster Hunter!  Though I think she only played World and skipped Rise due to not liking the art style 😹 So that was fun to talk about!

Thanks for reading!  Hope you are all having a good end of year season!

Recent Looks and LOTS of Food!

I haven't taken many outfit snaps as I feel like they are rather repetitive O_Q  I haven't purchased any new Lolita dresses since 2018, and even swapping different blouses and accessories is starting to get repetitive!

Still, I enjoy wearing Lolita and going out with friends, so have some snaps of food, food-scented sheet masks, and other daily happenings!

Escape Room and MonHun Cooler!

This Saturday I went to an escape room with two classmates as a belated Halloween event!  We didn't actually dress up or anything, and actually failed the escape room, but still had fun!

A Black Cat Halloween

 MEOW! 🙀 It's almost Halloween!  I celebrated a day early by going to Kokorolia Maid Cafe again~ They had a week-long Halloween event where the maids dress up each day, so I decided to sort of dress up today, too!  Unfortunately, a typhoon is hitting tomorrow, so the weather is already a bit rainy.

Simple Black Cat

I didn't actually have a costume, so I used makeup and face crystals that I bought after Halloween back in 2019 or so when I was in the US!  It took over an hour JUST for the crystals 🙀 and my press-on nails did not make it any easier!  I used a pair of tweezers to handle most of the gems, but some were a bit large and unwieldy.
