Outings, Recent gets and Health Issues =S

Hey everyone! How are you all doing? C:

I hope this entry doesn't sound rushed because I am kind of in a hurry. But I just wanted to share with you guys some recent gets, outings, recipes I've made and kind of talk a bit about some serious health issues I've been having.

Sooooo....leegggo!

On March 2nd, my eldest nephew turned 16!♥

He's the one on the left lol  :D

To celebrate we all went to eat at a yummy bbq restaurant called Famous Daves. 

It was a pretty big crowd, pretty much all of my family, his friends and my fiance were there!

I decided to go for a edgy style that night:

(Weird poses I know, but I was cold and the sun was in my eyes >.<)

Hat: Not sure

Sleeve: Hot Topic
Top: Dots

Jeans: Kohls
Shoes: Target
Skull waistwrap: Kohls

At the restaurant I had a delicious barbeque pulled chicken sandwich with cheese and a side of macaroni along with a giant root beer float!

We came back that night and enjoyed a yummy delicious ice cream cake:

It was a really fun night! And I'm happy for my nephew, he's really come a long way ^_^

I've also been making some yummy dishes lately. There is a place in my town that offers cooking classes so I am preparing to sign up for them for sure!!

I made Chicken Madarin Orange Stir fry:

It was delicious! There was chicken broccoli, mandarin oranges, orange peppers, yellow peppers, red onions, bean pockets and mandarin orange sauce.

I served it along with a side of white rice and fruit juice. :D

I was inspired by another gaijin gyaru, Shun, to make this yummy ramen!



I put green onions, boiled egg, carrot and smoked sausage inside and it really made it taste a lot better than the usual plain old ramen! ♥

Panda reeeeeeaaally loved it, it was so cute watching him slurp up the noodles so fast lol.

Also my gal pal Brittany came over and we made tuna-mayo onigiri for the for the first time!

We used sticky short grained Japanese rice, sushi vinegar, tuna, wasabi, Japanese mayo and seaweed wraps. :D

Mixing tuna and mayo together!

Sticky fluffy rice!

It was loads of fun and O. M. G. So friggin yummy! :D

Turned out pretty good for our first time!

Brittany also took the cutest picture with my niece Kaylee that I was babysittng:

Lol they both are so happy! :D

I used the leftover onigiri and made a cute little bento out of it.

Lol so cute <3

A few weekends ago I met up with my friend Liana after a few years!

I got Banana and Strawberry Banana bubble teas while I waited for her:

I was shocked that she was nice enough to get me two shell necklaces!♥

They bring me back to my earthy style that I had back in high school lol.

It was so good seeing her. C:

Then it was on to clothes shopping!!

Got these at sears on clearance for only $7.99

Also got this from sears! Can't wait to wear this in the summer!

These I bought from Discovery Clothing for reeeeally low prices.
I love how high waisted shorts look on me!

I also got the cuuutest panties at Victoria's Secret thanks to a panty coupon given to me by Brittany!

I looove cute panties, makes me feel SUPER sexay <3

Lastly I stopped by World Market and saw a yummy melon soda so I had to get it.

I also saw a cute strawberry jam!

It is so good, and I loved the vintage packaging, :3

All in all, I'd say it was a nice two weekends. Now I have to prepare for my coworker's engagement party and the tea shop panda and I are going to on Saturday!

Now I want to mention something about my health. Now as you know, I am a private person and I prefer to keep this 90% interests and 10% emotional. But I really think I should get this out there, because I want to keep whomever may read this blog informed about what's going on.

So I've had these symptoms for a long time and though I haven't been officially diagnosed, I'm pretty convinced that I have hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism is an issue when your thyroid gland, which is in your neck, produces too much thyroid hormone which causes things in your immune system and over-all heath to become compromised. 

It can be caused by Graves' disease, but there is also a link between hyperthyroidism and hormonal birth control, which is what I was taking for 3 months before I started having the symptoms. Seeing a doctor was delayed for a looooong frikkin time, mainly because of  insurance issues and finances, but I'll finally be able to see a doctor in April and figure out what's going on...because again, this is just speculation.

Long term untreated hyperhyroidism can cause a lot of serious problems so if this is what it  is I'm really glad I'm about to get it checked out. I must admit, whatever this is has taken it's toll on my over-all heath, body and mental/emotional viewpoints and reactions. I cannot sleep at night because of panic attacks and I am tired often, and my body aches a lot throughout the day. I get nauseous numerous times throughout the day, causing me to have to stop whatever I'm doing and sit down for 5 minutes. It's affected my work and relationship development as well as making me unmotivated for sooo many things. One of those things is gyaru, which I haven't been motivated to create a co-ord or do make in the longest time since I've started the style. And as some may have noticed, I've lost a dramatic amount of weight in a short time period. Not good, not good :(

So that's pretty much the most of it. I will keep you guys posted about it all and let you know what the dr. says! As I said I'm hoping it wont be something that will take too long to take care of. If you have any questions feel free to ask..and please keep me in your prayers because I need them!! :D

Anyway, thanks so much for reading this post. ^__^ I'll be back soon with even more updates, so ttyl!
