Heresy Limited Standing Live Tour 2014 GOVC



FINALLY WENT TO WATCH GAZETTE'S LIVE AFTER 7 GODDAMN FUCKING YEARS OF FANGIRL-ING AHHHSDFGHJKL. This wasn't part of my plan initially because I booked my flight/hotel way before the release dates and when I knew that they are gonna have live on week i'm here I was like "OK FUCK THIS IS FATED, KAI IS CALLING FOR ME PLZ" HAHAHAHA

Reached Namba Hatch at around 10-ish in the morning alone to queue for tour goods while M was happily sleeping in the hotel (which happens to be directly opposite Hatch) I think there were less than 100 heads in front of me so it wasn't that bad actually.





Queuing in the cold isn't funnnnn but i'd rather freeze than to feel sticky and sweaty. Wore an oversized jacket, t-shirt, shorts and thick stockings > SERIOUSLY ASKING FOR IT ZZZ. M came down to join me after awhile, told him not to but he insisted :/ 




4 hours later...



Not too much damage to my pocket /phew



I should have written a fan mail to Kai :( #majorregret #therewillalwaysbenexttime

Went for a quick dinner at Sennichimae before heading back to Hatch. As the doors were about to open, the staff started speaking into the loud speaker giving us (fans) instructions and it was all in Japanese. I couldn't even understand half of what he said /failbigtime/ It was my first time going to a live in Japan and I didn't know what to expect hence I was panicking at a corner (-_\)... BUT OH THANK GOD I found this very kind Japanese fan who knows english together with another fan from Italy (*-*) So basically we were hanging out before the live starts and OMG WE 3 SHARED THE SAME BIAS :D Seriously what are the odds?!



My view was awesome because I could totally see Kai clearly from my spot!!! Yes my eyes were GLUED to him most of the time hehehehe 8D Headbanging never felt sooooo good before and oh trust me, gaze's fangirls are not people you wanna mess with (yes including me) HAHAHA

Please don't judge me but yes, I really mean it.

Here's a live report of GOVC @ Namba Hatch (Day 1) if you're keen to read. The MC part was quite hilarious though (Ruki was surprisingly entertaining LOL) and my fav part was this...

Ruki: is there anything you guys wanna ask? it's ok, just talk one by one.. 
Fans: Have you eaten takoyakiiii? 
Ruki: shut up! no more questions, stop asking! 
Fans: What did you eat yesterday? 
Ruki: if I get asked about food one more time, I swear, I’ll lose it!
(thank you missverypink for the translations!) 

Right, during "My Devil On The Bed" Ruki licked his cane and while singing the line '... let's have sex in the darkness' he kept thrusting his hips back and forth.


I WAS STANDING THERE LIKE ASDFGHHJKL



Dropped by Lawson after live to get supper. Omg buying that onsen tamago was such a wise choice, instant noodles never tasted so good before.



And one last post-live photo to end this post! ;D
hair is in a total messssss but whatever



MY NECK ACHED FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT AFTER THE LIVE ZZZ

Kiyomizudera Temple Kyoto


If you want to experience traditional Japanese culture, Kyoto is the place to visit.

I've always been a fan of traditional Japanese architectures hence I was really excited when we were on our way to Kyoto (i've been wanting to visit this place like forever!!!) The train ride takes about  30 minutes if you take from Osaka/Shin Osaka station (via the JR Kyoto line rapid service)



On the train to Kyoto! Okay I don't look that excited BUT I AM K. HAHAHA

Our first stop was to visit the famous Kiyomizudera Temple. From Kyoto Station you can take bus 100 or 206 from the bus interchange and alight at gojo-zaka or kiyomizu-gojo bus stop (aiya just alight when you see majority of the people alight LOL) From there you have to look at the map and find the correct path to walk uphill or try your luck and follow the crowd #okjoke

If you find yourself at this street means yay you're halfway there!
Congratulations and continue walking.










WE MADE IT TO THE TOP and tmd there's still a flight of stairs awaiting us zzzz








You may want to pay a 300yen admission fee to visit the temple. The view you get to see there would be priceless, so please do it! This photo is totally not doing justice to the beautiful trees. Okay maybe my camera photography skill suck #everythingalsoblamecamera





Beautiful flower spotted.





After walking out of the main temple, you'll see a path to the Jishu Shrine. Apparently this shrine is dedicated to the deity of love/match-making, so lovebirds/single friends, you know where to go now huh? ;)




They sell many different charms here! Call me superstitious or what but I seriously think these charms are damn 靈 and I always have them with me HAHA ;D









Oh hi, famous love stone.





Brb praying for good luck.




Well it's a lovely place to visit if you're into temples & shrines.

And this... the mandatory tourist shot of Kiyomizudera!





After walking for almost the entire day, it's time to fill our stomach with foooood. Nothing beats having a bowl of warm authentic udon in this chilly weather :) Simple and yet so good!!!









Had this really yummy soft-serve ice cream on the way back! Omg my favourite black sesame and honey vanilla :'D Sorry but this cone here can easily beat llaollao & honeycreme.






Lastly not forgetting my #ootd.

I honestly think a day trip to Kyoto is not enough :(
