HIIII!!!! I am quite excited to share about August ^o^.

This month is all about: My Brother!!! His birthday is tommorrow (8/20)

What will I be getting him? My gift to him is something he's actually been begging me to get him... A new...gpu?? I don't remember the name, either a cpu or gpu but I'm dumb and stupid, so I don't remember specifically what he asked me to get him. (I am not much of a computer nerd, computer stuff is just a hobby guys).

Anyways, I loveeeee Suruga-ya. I was trying to find stuff from TVDINT and holy moly, I came upon a gold mine on there. Looks like searching them up in JP really helped me find, I kid you not, over 2000+ items ^^!!! There were sooooo many things omg, I genunely wanted to order everything off the website, but obviously not having a steady job and money issues, I have no money to buy over 300+ items of them... not now at least.

But!!! I did end up buying some stuff off of them on Sunday (8/17). Under the "Sanrio" clothing catogory, I was able to find a really pretty jacket and hat that were Kuromi based (I betrayed cinammoroll //_U。). The jacket was from a collab between a Lolita company and the Sanrio characters. The hat was from the "Avail x Sanrio Characters" collab. I legit started panicking that I had ordered 2 items that didn't exist since I wasn't able to find any infomation by my own. Only a deleted ebay listing appeared for the jacket. The hat, on the other hand.... was FAR WORSE. I was literally able to find NOTHING when I searched it up.

Chatgpt was a last resort. I had told myself that I would try to search them up by myself and would use Chatgpt ONLY IF I wasn't able to find anything the whole day. Fact: I am very stupid, but I do abide by my sayings. I tried reverse search, searching up the collab, ANYTHING!!! Turns out, they didn't even end up promoting the jacket during the event. They only promoted the lolita dresses and the accessories, the jacket was just an addition you could find at the stores.

On the other hand, the hat was also NOT promoted and was supposed to be a limited item at the store as well. So, turns out I got two very limited and rare items from 2 different collabs... I'm super happy!!! Not because I now am the owner of these two items, but because omg they were so cute.. .. I don't think I mentioned that I brought them because I fell in love with them at first sight.

Oh, and guess what!!?? I got two badges of Sanzu from them too!! I really like her design, and lowkey, I headcannon that she writes fanfics, just based off her design at the moment. Yeah... I just started ep 2 of S2 and I already ordered stuff of her character... PLSSS she's such a cute character and I'm HOPING I like her cuz it's going to be so embarrassing if I dont, ESPECIALLY since I'm going to own 2 badges of her.

Anyways, last thing off my small haul on Surugaya is the Stray Kids Lee Know ver of something I don't remember. It's for my sister since I had introduced the website to her that day. Hehe, I was showing her badges and acrylic figures of John!!! And omg, she approves of my idea of making my nail inspo based off him!!! I'm so excited to have him everywhere with me ^^!! Anyways, yeah, she told me that skz has some JP exclusive releases that she wanted to get and she found that one. And the preorder for the rerelease of the 15th anniversary miku nendo is soon (later this month >_^!!)

At last, I am very excited for my mini haul to come in. I will try to remember to show photos and stuff, but urm... we'll see if they arrive this month.
