Scrubs

Can you believe this is what I will be wearing to work for the next 1 1/2 years? No more style for me... *sigh* They need to be ironed, but I hate ironing!!

 My stethoscope. At least I can choose the color of the tubing (purple, not that you can tell from this photo). I want a teal one too, but I thought it would clash with the blue of my scrubs, lol.

 My mom got me these 2 Hello Kitty phone charms! The one on the left has Hello Kitty sitting on a blood-filled syringe, along with a bag of blood, and AB, my blood type ;) It's rather large though, so it will have to be my special occasion phone charm, haha. The one on the right lives on my phone. It is so strange, everything around me seems to be turning blue lately; my clothes (scrubs), my phone charm, my furniture, my dolls, my glasses, even my pajamas. lol.

Hurry Xmas

Uffh, xmas is finally over. I'm a bit disappointed because I couldn't find really great gifts for some people. Good stuff, but not great.  But I received some pretty awesome gifts. I know it sounds kind of cheesy, but I always feel like everyone has done too much for me.

Everyone made such a big deal of our "white christmas," but didn't it snow on the 24/25th last year, too? Apparently, global warming melting the glaciers causes cold water to make its way further south, causing colder winters.

 This dog tried to ruin my xmas. Apparently our new tradition is my brother bringing not only his 2 dogs to my parents house for 2 days, but also whatever incontinent, overly aggressive dog his girlfriend is pet-sitting. Yay :/

But my brother gave me this kid robot/macpherson hello kitty, so I guess it's ok. Look how cute and odd it is! I love it too much.

 His girlfriend gave me tokidoki eyeliners and Katzen Zungen chocolates. According to her, "katzen zungen" means "cat tongues" in German, lol. We're such nerds though, we had to look up the etymology of the word "cat." Apparently, it basically goes back as far as homo sapiens, lol. Practically every major language (including at least one Sinitic dialect) can trace its word for "cat" back to the Egyptian "caute." Crazy, right?

 Lisa gave me this Anpanman bag! With Japanese cookies & candies inside! So cute!

My mom gave me this Little Dal "Neiryo." She's a little nurse!

 She also gave me this Harajuku Lovers bag. More little cats!

I was surprised by this wicked cute bicycle. I've been wanting one terribly since I went to Kyoto (everyone rides one there). I won't be able to ride it for transportation any time soon, but hopefully I'll have the time/place to ride it recreationally.
