January Updates~

Yahalloooo~ (^ _ ^)/

This is my first blog this year! (・о・)
So I suppose I should start by wishing you all a..

Happy [LATE] New Year!

I hope you all had a great start to 2017 and I hope you all have a wonderful year~! ^^ ♡

As for me...I suppose this year has been fairly average so far ^^

On Saturday the 7th of January, I went the the Warner Bros. Studio Tour for Harry Potter (for the second time XD) which was amazing! ♥

It was me, my mum, my sister, mine and my sister's two friends, my sister's friend and her boyfriend and my mum's friend, so... A LOT of people went :,) Me and my sister's friend spent pretty much the whole day together (I was surprised about that since I thought she'd be with my sister most of the time!) which was fun because we also spoke a lot about Yuri!!! on Ice so yey! >ω< About half way through, I found my mum, her friend and mine and my sister's two friends and we continued around together which was good! We had SO much fun! It was seriously a great day! And because we went during Winter this time, the giant castle model at the end of the tour was all covered in snow! It was crazy gorgeous ♥ Snow was also decorated a bit around the tour in general~

Outside where the tour meets it's half way point, there was fake snow falling down which was super pretty as well! ^ω^

I'll include a few of my favourite pictures I took that day for you to see~! ^^

Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape's actual costumes! *ω*

The Clock Tower Pendulum ♥

Me and my two besties ♥ (I scribbled out their faces just in case they didn't want to be shown) ^^

Half way onto Platform 9 3/4 ;D

On the Hogwarts Express >ω< (my face in this picture had me laughing for ages) :,)

Diagon Alley ♥

The 1:24 scale model of Hogwarts Castle ♡

It looks absolutely gorgeous covered in snow ;ω;

So, as you can see from the pictures, I had a VERY awesome day! *ω*

..and went a bit too crazy in the gift shop ^^;

Early last week I went down to Wales to visit one of my best friends ^^

Since we're online friends, I don't see her often and I've only met her once before;; But this time I went down to see her for a few days and I had a lot of fun! :3

I travelled down alone and had to do a few train swaps which I've never done before! I was so nervous, but I managed to make it there safely and make it back safely! ^^ ..well, sort of :,) On the way back, I almost missed one train in Cardiff and actually did miss my train in Birmingham... But I still got home safely, even if just a little later than I originally intended :,)

Unfortunately while I was there, I wasn't very well;;; We were planning to go shopping but because I felt so ill, we didn't go out :< We ended up having a gaming and anime day instead, though! And, of course, that was a great and fun alternative! >ω<

In smaller news...

I'm getting a PS4 tomorrow (hopefully)! *ω* I've been contemplating the thought of getting one for a while, but what pushed me to make my final decision was the fact that Tales of Berseria isn't getting a western release on the PS3 like most Tales of games do;;; And I wasn't going to miss my chance to play a Tales of game, so I had no choice but to buy a PS4! >A<

But it's okay :3 There are quite a few PS4 games I want to play and some coming out soon that I definitely want to try! ^^ I'm especially excited about playing Life is Strange (I actually played through the first two chapters with my friend in Wales and I've been pining for the rest ever since!) and I am Setsuna which looks beautiful~ ♡ ..so YAY! >ω<

I've also been enjoying the Winter 2017 anime season! ^^

My particular favourites are Tales of Zestiria the X 2nd Season, Little Witch Academia (TV) and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen ♥

As for series I'm not too crazy about... Kuzu no Honkai is definitely in the lead there > < It's just ridiculously depressing, really odd plot and not one of the characters, in my opinion, are likeable > < Also ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka and Seiren aren't great either.. ^^;

But good outnumber the bad, me thinks! :3

Aaaaaaaaaand... I think that's all I have to say for now! ^^

So I shall be off :3

..also ACCA is out now, so I wanna watch that~ See if it's getting any better :,)

Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a great day~! :3

BYESIES~! c:
