[Japan]: First sakura and no camera “(*`ε´*) 凸  
Hello,

as I have no travel photos to post anymore, it's been a while since my last post. 
I finally went back to study, only 3 months left until the test (x___X)/ Not sure if I really should take it (yah, I know I say that EVERY YEAR!! XD ... :(;゙゚'ω゚'): ....)

Anyway between Saturday and Monday the first cherry blossoms started blooming here:



I hope the cherry blossoms in Hiroshima and Kyoto will wait for my arrival in about a week o(´^`)o



Although these photos look a lot like spring - it's not really spring yet!!!!
I took these photos on the ONLY day when it was NOT grey and rainy!!!! Ever since then the weather has been horrible (again). I don't get depressed by the weather usually, but it's just too much lately - especially when you're looking forward to Japanese spring! :/
A lot of students are sick again, because it's just too cold for this time of the year. I just hope it'll get better soon, so that I at least can enjoy my short spring vacation.

But ... there's ONE MORE THING that might completely ruin my spring vacation.
Most of you still might remember my camera dilemma.
Well, I ordered my DSLR camera on Friday, March 12th. They said it will take up to 14 days because it's a custom order.
I chose a shop that had 100% positive feedback (although they charged shipping fees, ~8$, whereas most other shops didn't).
At first everything seemed to be fine. Quick e-mail response and everything. The last e-mail I got from them was on Monday, March 15th saying that they received my payment (almost 700$!!) and that they will come back to me once they received the camera.
Ever since then I haven't heard from them again. The promised deadline, aka the 2 weeks is tomorrow. But as I didn't receive an e-mail today that means there's no way I'll receive my camera by tomorrow.
I will soooooooooooo give them horrible feedback although it seems I'll be the first person to do so. I also chose that shop because I read in the feedback that another customer got his/her cam (the same as mine) in a bit more than a week.
It's not that I'm impatient, it's that it will be horrible for many reasons if the cam can't make it in time for my spring vacation. Here's just some reasons:
  • The main reason for buying that cam WAS my spring vacation - if I don't have it on me then, then where was the sense in buying it in the first place?

  • If they send the camera while I'm gone (over 1 week), they might send the package back to the shop and I might have to pay shipment again or whatever.

  • If the camera is broken or something is wrong with it, I only have a few days after they send it to confirm it and exchange cams. This will not be an option if I come back from my spring vacation - because then it's already too late and in the end I have to keep a broken cam!!

Reason enough to be angry???



I ordered all cam accessories from 2 other shops. Ordered Saturday night, it was sent on Sunday and I received it without any problems on Monday.
Why can't my cam just come like that and without any problems?
It's so weird to have all that stuff lying around, but not being able to use it because the "main character" hasn't arrived yet! “(*`ε´*)ノ

More reasons to be angry?
Yesh! I checked the shop one more time to see if there's anything wrong, they're on vacation or whatever and then I saw that WHILE I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY CAM it got CHEAPER in the meantime (and not only in that shop) GROAR!!! That's so unfair x__X .... *sigh*
I wouldn't complain if they just could send that damn cam ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Last, but not least: POUPÉEGIRL:



I've not been lucky lately.
First, I sold an item that was worth between 300-800 ribbons for 5 ribbons by mistake -___- ...... (mistook it for a shell *headdesk*) and then I lose ANY auction I take part in (;o;) .... not because I give up when it becomes too expensive, but because I click until 0am and still somebody else gets the item in the end. Why???? (-_-)
Why can't they just create a normal "jewel market"?? Why does it have to be a "jewel AUCTION"??? Why???? *headdesk*
At least I managed to sell a dress I only wore once and get some jewels back (○゜ε^○)v ィェィ♪
Don't get me wrong, I still love Poupée. That's the problem, I guess XDDD


Wah~, so much complaining today.

More stuff is in preparation. I don't know when and if I'll have time to post more before my spring vacation next week.


So or so, read you again soon! (´∀`*)ノシ バイバイ ❤

hmm :/

it's your own fault for choosing those custom colours xD which are completely irrelevant of picture quality. hahaha.. but even if it doesn't arrive on time, so what? it's not like this is going to be the last vacation you're going to have where you can put the camera to good use.

Guess what i'm saying is that it's probably not worth it to stress out on as you're stressing out on so many other things as it is.

a) I know. It's my fault. That's what I've been telling myself, too XDDD

b) I've been telling myself the whole day today that it's not worth worrying about things I can't change anyways and tried to be positive and like you said even if it's not coming, it's oookay.


HOMG THAT'S SCARY!! The moment I answered, I got the mail with package number and everything saying they shipped it today ;o;
So, I'll get it on Sunday, I guess. Tomorrow I'll be at work the whole day and can't accept it and only the Amazon guy knows where I work, so he always brings packages to my workplace when I'm not at home (which I love and hate at the same time XDDDD)

YAHOOO!! v(≧∇≦)v イェェ~イ♪

No, luckily NOT! XDDD
And I really wonder WHY he knows WHERE I work!! I never told him, maybe he knows my boss or whatever XDDDDD
So far only my camera accessoires and a Japanese study book were delivered there. They can't see what's inside anyways, but my coworkers always want to know XDDD

THANKS (*__*)v
