R Diary

The green bird matches this brown bird I got earlier from the same thrift store, but I left him for someone else's pleasure.

I did however get this adorable vintage deer for myself

I saw this shirt at CROPP. I think more dudes in da nile would wear this than women tbh.

I also spotted this popular boxed Sangria brand with random Japanese on it （お酒）...It's not even imported from Japan...very strange.

We also saw this weird AI Sketchers ad that reminds me of some famous suggestive meme image (iykyk)... it's uncanny and creepy...

Now onto a better use of AI...Here are some ChatGPT edits of my Oupa... He was impressed.

Here is a pic of my Fridge setup, but it's all taken down by now and put in storage (alongside the older setup) because we are leaving to the USA for a few months soon.

Here are some cuties we sold in March...miss them already.

We went to the area I used to live as a student yet again, and we went to the stores mentioned earlier. The top two images are of the gift mentioned that I bought for my Oupa, who loves nougat, and thought he should give Halawa a try. Then the middle two pics are some of the items we purchases for ourselves in the asian market, and the bottom two are the MENA market's small ramen selection...but they had better prices than the asian market.

We went to get something from the store pretty late at night *I forget what now) and then we saw there was a great deal on candy there (7,99€/kilo) so we ended up spending like 2 hours just getting together goodie bags for my Family in SA and for my mom's friend who she was meeting up for a birthday lunch before leaving back to SA. (She had to fly back to Finland from overseas to fly back home so she spent a day here before leaving.)

I got these penguins for myself...I want to figure out how to cover them in reisen or something so I can preserve them...sooo cute.

I also saw some Chinese monster...and my beloved ice tea monster... in the worst flavor of the bunch, for an insane price (like 7€)... I cant wait to chug them again in the USA.

We saw these on our way out, which explained the great candy discount...

The next day I found this guy was left unpacked from my husbands USA bag...I thought he accidentally left him in the states.

Ending this post with 3 good shots of my husband... tent, patriot and Shinji style!

Will post the last of March next... or maybe it'll be broken into two parts, lets see.... Bye byeeee.

My mom was visiting Finland, but had to cut it short to go help out my relatives abroad, and after we dropped her off at the train station to head to the airport, we ended up going on a drive with no real destination. My Ukki had lent us his car for about a month. He lives overseas so doesn't really use it except when visiting Finland, but it was already promised to my cousin for the summer, so our time with it was limited.

We wanted to make the most of having a car despite being super busy. I don’t think we really succeeded, but we still had a lot of fun and got to do things we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.

Anyways, out of nowhere the check engine light came on, so we had to cut the trip short and stop at a nearby mall. It was still really early, so we had to wait for the shops to open so we could buy some tools. My Ukki’s friend had attached this makeshift ventilation cover thing onto the car, and we wanted to cut it off just to make sure it wasn’t causing the issue.

The mall was surprisingly busy for that early in the morning, and we eventually realized it was because there was a combat sports tournament going on.

While we waited, we ended up killing time by having breakfast at Espresso House.

Then we went to the store to buy some tools, and for the first time ever I noticed Japanese skincare being sold in a regular grocery store here. Now I feel like I see it everywhere. It’s definitely overpriced, but I’m still happy to see J-beauty getting some of the same attention as K-beauty, esp since I prefer J-products scents usually. We also saw this really cute fox baby toy. Then I found a strawberry matcha oat drink and made my husband try it. As you can tell from the photo, he was not impressed. After that, we ended up buying him new shoes because he’d been slipping and sliding in his old pair all winter.

I also spotted these funny little Nendoroid dupes meant for children.

My mom also brought us some Fizzers that my Ouma had bought for us, and my husband devoured. I even caught him asleep with one in his mouth like this LMFAO.

Now a more photodump-y end to this post...

A pic of our view that same night and the next morning...

A new Rilakkuma pillow I got...

An adorable giant cinnamoroll we sold...

Some Monchhichi loot my husband's e-friend (and his bro) who lives in Germany helped me get my hands on....
