Nautical Theme Maid Cafe + Day Out!

 On Tuesday I went to Kokorolia Maid Cafe with some of the friends from the World Cup party!

 It was the first visit to a maid cafe for two of them, and this week was a nautical theme at Kokorolia!  I already tossed or sold the sailor JSK I made years ago, so the only sailor dress I had was a long-sleeve one 🙀 In this 30C+ weather.... I still wore it 😹

 It's a cutsew style OP, so I went pretty casual~

Baby's First Sportsball Viewing Party!

 I've never been into sports and so have never watch a sportsball game before. Last night/this morning I went to my first live stream viewing experience at a sports/darts bar with friends!

It was at midnight as they wanted to watch the Argentina vs Egypt game. 

I slept in until afternoon and then did my regular live stream from 7-10 pm and helping out my mom before heading out to the event~

Because I know nothing about soccer football, on stream I asked who we were supporting and what the game rules were 😹

Turns out all our friends were supporting Argentina so I were Argentina flag colors! 🇦🇷

Weekend with Friends!

 Two of my friends visited me this past weekend!  It was actually an coincidence that they both came to Taipei over the same weekend 😹 It was a great time!

I didn't really take many photos, actually.  But it was so hot out!  So I don't have any outfit shots unfortunately 😿

 So here's just a few snaps!

Friends from Tokyo Visit!

 Oh gosh I meant to post this weeks ago!  Two of my friends came to visit Taipei over Golden Week in Japan! I got to spend a half day with them~  We went to Taipei 101 observatory (89th floor) and the current IP collab is Monday Bruce!!

For any working class adult, Monday Bruce is such a vibe.  He doesn't want to go to work, suffers through work, tolerates the travel to and from work, and is lazy on days off.  Basically all of the adult workforce cat😹

It was a bit difficult to get full photos due to the sheer number of people there, but it was fun to do photo that weren't "pretty" as we tried to match Bruce's energy!

It was evening as we were there, so we actually got to see Taipei go from daylight to night through the windows

There were also more "influencer" types this time compared to the last time I went.  They were getting timelapse videos so they took up window spots for very long periods of time.

The pressures of work 

In addition to Monday Bruce, there were some floral exhibits too!  Those were also fun for more "pretty" photos.



Dreaming 

We also got some vegan bubble waffle and ice cream at a place called Nice Cream nearby!  It tasted quite nice!
 
We went to Shihlin Night Market afterwards, but I didn't remember to take photos then, haha!
 
It's always so nice to see friends!  We met during the Tokyo wedding trip back in November and they're both so lovely~

Mahou Shoujo Theme at Kokorolia 2026

 Magical Girls are LIFE!!!!  But let me start off by saying I forgot a key feature of this outfit.... my CTCTYO cyber cat ears 😿 I didn't remember them until I'd already arrived at the cafe!!

I also spent about 45 minutes trying out five different hairstyles, and ended up just not styling because I didn't like how anything looked 😿  So it's not as magical as it could have been, but at least the embroidery on my skirt was totally on theme!

Komeda Coffee Taiwan Pokémon Collaboration

 On Friday I met up with a friend at one of the Taipei Main station Komeda Coffee (there's three) cafés to try out the pokémon collaboration dishes!

There's three dishes total. I ordered the Drifloon cheese balls and the Dragonite ice fire dessert, and my friend ordered the Ditto mentaiko shrimp patty sandwich.

Cardcaptor Sakura x Sushiro Again!

 April 6 was the third wave of merch for the Sushiro x Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card collaboration, so I went with my friend Doro to a different decorated branch!

Pokemon GO at Daan Forest Park

 I've fallen behind on blogs again!  On March 28 there was the first day of a Pokemon GO event at a local park, 大安森林公園/Daan Forest Park, so I went there with a couple acquaintances.

Capcom Store Taipei

 I'm a bit behind on posting again!!

Last Wednesday I went to the Capcom Store Taipei again (unable to enter the first time on the previous Friday, opening day, because the queue was too long!) and got to browse all the merch! 

Tomu, Toma, and Tomo 

I was most into the Monster Hunter merch of course, and they had quite a decent selection!

Taipei Zoo Adventures!

 It's been years since I've gone to the zoo!  It's a lot bigger than I remember 😹
I went with my friends on Sunday!  I mostly took video, but I can share a few photos that I did take~

Hooters Taipei

 Went to Hooters today with some friends.  Unfortunately, I hadn't slept the night before so was wholly unprepared to manage the level of anxiety I felt in such a chaotic, loud, and oppressive environment. 

I did really like my outfit though!  I wanted to try bringing out multiple colors in the main JSK print, so used a black KC and choker, red blouse, white x gold socks, pink cardigan, and pink shoes.  I also had a pink bag!

Fun with Friends Pt. 9

 Exotic animal restaurants can be a bit of a tricky topic as they often involve animal cruelty for the sake of profit, especially in countries with lax animal welfare laws (e.g., teacup pig cafes, fox cafes, owl cafes, etc.) so I've been pretty hesitant to visit any that feature non-domesticated animals.

Based on reviews, this one called 肉球森林/Paws Forest seems to prioritize the animals and so we gave it a shot!

Maid Cafe and Ximen Underground Mall

 Yesterday was rather warm considering it's December!  23C 🙀

I wore my blue BTSSB blouse out!  With a cardigan it was actually quite warm.

Recent Outfit Snaps and Life Update

 Whew all the Tokyo trip posts are finished!  I've been touching grass more after I felt better from the cold, so I had the chance to wear something other than pajamas!

Tried a douyin style makeup

Random Outing

 Sometimes an impromptu meetup is just what you need 😹 On Wednesday evening I met up with an online friend at Taipei 101.  We'd just been chatting in a group voice chat and randomly decided to meet up.  My original plan was to go to maid cafe, but they were closed for maintenance, so we went for Taipei 101 instead.

Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary Exhibition

On Saturday I went to the Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary exhibition with some Twitch friends!!

It was cool! We had tickets for 2pm and got in line then. They let us in in small batches at the beginning to avoid crowding, I assume.

August Meetup + Cardcaptor Sakura Popup!

 On Saturday we met up at our usual place for some honeydew theme afternoon tea!  It was so yummy~  

I wore an OP because I didn't want to layer blouse or underskirt as it was hot and humid!  It's been raining on and off so the air has been very muggy recently.
