UPDATE

Hello if you are still there, hi, it has been way too long.
As I said at the start of the year I was going to regularly update my blog but school has become way too busy, I only have like 5-6 weeks left of schooling and then exams and then I am done FOREVER! But then I have Uni but that is next year.
I have not forgotten about you, yes you.
So I thought I would give you a quick update for my disappearance for like 2 months.
I am still alive just year 12 is taking over and plus exams coming next month, got to start studying. I still have been watching YouTube and reading blogs in my spare time, when I have any.
I actually have a friend's 18th party tonight but work tomorrow, gonna earn that dough for spending money for LA and Hawaii next year, so excited.
For my blogging though, I have plenty blog ideas that I may start writing now and post whenever. My scheduling for blog posts won't be very regularly so you may get the occasional, "look Kadek has posted something," and let me tell you, they will be of good quality, not like this post.
I am hoping I can get back into the swing of blogging after exams or even during exams when I want a break from studying or when I am not watching TV or YouTube, but I will let you know about that.

I think I am going to leave it there. Sorry for this shitty post saying that I am a crap blogger, but I do enjoy it and I am up to like over 1,000 pageviews which is amazing so thank you.

I hope everyone is having a lovely day/night/afternoon/morning or wherever you are and I will see you whenever I post something.

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and twitter for quick updates on my life. TBH just follow Instagram, I use that the most but still.

What's in my bag?

About a week ago I went through my bag as it literally was full of rubbish. So I thought I might as well as make a blog post of what is in my bag. I love watching these of YouTube, as I am snobby and it gives me ideas of what to buy plus you know what to put in my bag.

Just thought I would warn you now, that I had not clean it out since I went to Tasmania and this was literally what is in my bag. My essential items/the items I usually have in my bag is everything a part from the rubbish.

The Bag: I got this bag when I was in Perth last year in April. I got it from a place called Colette which is an amazing place for good quality bags and purses even jewelry at a reasonable price. I think this was $50 or around that. I love this bag as it has a zip but also that flippy thing (don't know a word to describe it) for extra closure and detail. It's a statement black which it can go with any outfit. But I wouldn't mind getting a new bag a different colour. I am trying to sheer myself away from anything black, trying I still love wearing black but you need change sometimes.
Here is Colette's website, the bag isn't in stock anymore but you can easily find something similar-http://www.colettehayman.com.au/

SNEAK PEAK INTO THE MESS

In the zip: There is only one zip in the bag. This is usually where I keep make up/lip product I am using that day, pens and anything else that I want to easily get to. 
Here I have 3 pens, a NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Sugar Pie (from Target in Australia) and a stable Lucas Pawpaw Ointment which is my go to lip balm and the best thing ever.

The rubbish: The things I don't usually have in my bag.Firstly I have paper bag from hot jam donuts, my Jetstar ticket from Tasmania, lollipop stick and rubbish, 2 AFL tickets one from the Tassie game against West Coast and the other from the game again North Melbourne, a tag from my slicker from HawksNest and my Hawks membership which is usually in my bag whenever I go to the footy anyway.

Sometimes in my bag: These items are sometimes in my bag and sometimes not.

The rings are from Lovisa they are midi rings and I wore them to see Les Mis but they got annoying when clapping so I took them off and they just laid in my bag for a while. I then have my name badge and lock fro work, as you can see I work for Kmart which isn't too bad, I get money which makes a happy Kadek but I do wish I had more shifts, hopefully next year when I don't have school and only Uni.

Hydrating like a boss: You got drink that water. I usually have a bottle of water or some sort of drink in my bag. Gotta keep hydrated and I easily get thirsty.

Yes I had 2 bottles. One from Les Mis and the other from seeing 22 Jump Street. 

Essentials #1: Got to be able to smell nice and have good breath and get into my house.

My keys to get into my house with my many key rings including a TARDIS light, Hawthorn premiership of 2013 photo and a soot ball on a dolphin lanyard which I have had forever, I might need to invest in a new one. Rexona deodreant so I do not smell at work or anywhere and some gum and this is the best and smartest invention ever having a little bottle. At least I don't fine gum everywhere in my bag with packets.

Essentials #2: Music, communication and money. The things I will not leave the house without. 

My iPod gen 4 it does have a crack on it but it still works. My headphones which are Sony ones and are amazing for $10. My phone which is a Samsung S2, I know I am so outdated, it used to be my cousins and I hated my old phone but hopefully I will get an iPhone next year after the US, so I can save for a phone. And of course my purse which is also from Colette, it holds my cards and money when I have any but I do love it. It is very different to my taste in colours but I love it. And plus it is good quality which is always good.

Essentials #3: I always have a book in my bag and sunglasses to shade that sun from me eyes.

My sunglasses are prescriptions coz I am blind and it is good as no one else can wear them as it will be blurry for them but not for me. They are my own personal sunnies. They are also Calvin Klein ones so I feel fancy wearing them but it has been pretty gloomy so I haven't been wearing them as you know it is Winter here in Australia. The book I am reading at the moment is Paper Towns by John Green and I am loving it. I have come to conclusion that John Green is my favourite author, I seriously want to read all his books, I have already read TFIOS, who hasn't these days.

***

There we go my bag. Comment down below the essentials you have in your bag or what you take out with you. 

I will update you when I get a new bag or whenever I think you all deserve to dive into my bag of wonders.

Japan Trip 2013 Part 5 LAST ONE

Disclaimer: I am not bragging at all, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and as I was in year 11 at the time, I had no other chance to go on an experience like this. This will be split into parts so they aren't as long so I hope you don't mind and hopefully I give you ideas on where to go in Japan if you are planning to go one day. Also some photos are taken on my iPod and some on my camera which is a Canon 600D SLR as well as other people from the trip's. Enjoy :) 

This is Part 5, if you want to know what I did before this check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 & Part 4 and you shall be flown there ;)

Here we go the last installment.

Day 13

This day had to come, as it was the day we went to Hiroshima. We caught a bullet train to Hiroshima and saw the A-Bomb Dome. Just unbelievable, it did take a bit to let it sink in. We took a photo in front but we all didn't know if we should smile or not so it was an awkward photo, which I ain't putting in here. We had a look around and listened to a guy talk but we said we had to go as it started to get a bit weird. We also saw an opera singer across the river which lightened the mood a bit even though we had no idea what she was saying.

See even a piano

We then went to lay the 1000 cranes at the peace park.

The gang and the 1000 cranes

After we went off to the museum, it was an interesting experience, but there was graphic images and I couldn't make it through the museum. It is pretty confronting but still interesting.

Everyone was pretty upset and solemn but John can always make everyone happy. He literally pretended to be a tree.

See he always makes everyone smile.

We then went off to a ferry to Meiyajima Island to explore.

When we got there, we got to go off and explore. First off we went to go and get ice cream. I had a green tea ice cream, I think. We then got some friends, being wild deer. One of them stole Ebony's ice cream. 

A little baby deer

We continued exploring, having a look at the shrine in the sea, the beach and just explored the island. It was so beautiful, I seriously wish I could live there. Josh and I both decided to buy that island put Namba, our favourite place in Osaka and then have a road back home to Melbourne.

We all got bored after like 3 hours and went back to Hiroshima for dinner to have what Hiroshima are known for. Okonomiyaki, yummy! It was amazing seeing so many places that made it. We found a place that didn't have many people. It was awesome seeing them make it in front of you. I had the basic one and it was the most amazing and delicious Okonomiyaki ever!

We headed back to the hotel in Osaka ready for our last day in Japan and Universal Studio. We all packed ready for an early start.

Day 14 (Last full day):

Waking up to know it was our last day was pretty sad, I was sad that we weren't going to be in Japan anymore or spending time with the gang that were like a family, seriously you become a family when you are in a different country who are going through the same experience as yourself.

We had breakfast then finished packing and went down to the lobby to store our luggage so we could go to Universal Studio instead of taking our suitcases. 

We headed off to Universal Studio and spent the whole day there.

First off we went on Hollywood Dream roller coaster which was a long wait but it was amazing ride.

Waiting in line

After we went off to have lunch at this 50's diner which was so cute and friendly and amazing food. We then went on the Back to Future ride where they spoke on Japanese so we had no idea what they were saying but it was pretty awesome. Next was the Jurassic Ride which was really fun and we were going to go on the Jaws ride but it was literally an hour wait. So we watched the parade as it was near Halloween, everything was Halloween, the music and the parade. Plus the decorations. Next we went shopping and I bought so much but I loved it.

It came to the end of the day we had to leave. I wish we had another day there so we could explore more but it was still fun the only day we went.

The gang

We went back to the hotel to get our bags and then we were off to the airport to head home.

Day 15:

We were of the plane all night and had a stop over in Singapore again. I had a green tea frapp again before hopping back onto the plane to go back home. 

The best part of getting home was finding out that HAWTHORN WON THE GRAND FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best way to end an amazing experience and trip to Japan that I would not forget. As well as the people I met, making new friends and becoming closer to friends.

Also this is the last of boys myself and Josh saw mostly all westerners but they were freaking cute and I mean we could bang them.

THE BOYS (this is what is written on my iPod we even gave them names, plus something that signified them, clothing or hair)

Purple-blonde-Elijah

Mustard-long-Hayden

Red-16 and shorts-Zack (the first of all the boys we saw)

Pink shorts-down-Brian (he had nice legs and that is all)

Shaved hair-Japanese

Slut shorts guy-Tim

Bred (brown and red) hair-Justin

Yellow shorts-Zayne

There we go the end of my Japan Trip. I hope you liked this little series. Please comment if you want me to do one when I got to LA and Hawaii next year, most likely I will do it but I want to know feedback if you like this style or suggestions of what I should change and stuff as I am still new to blogging still.

So I hope you enjoyed this, I am going to miss writing this. Also if you have any suggestions on what kind of blog posts to write please share.

This is Part 4, if you want to know what I did before this check out Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3, and you shall be flown there ;)

I am back for another installment, WOOO!

Day 10:
We were finally back with the whole gang, and it was nice. We were off to another school just for the day, and it is the school we skype with. We caught a train to Wakayama and then walked to the school. When we got there it was so different from the other school plus when we saw the kids they were much older than our host school. No offence to them plus their floor was bouncy.

When we got there they performed for us with a dance and then we were really lucky as we didn't have to perform Possum Magic. Next we played games with some of the students, and then sung some songs which was interesting. Everyone then got split into groups and did some activities including origami and more games. We then had some lunch which I had chicken something. They had lunch in a cafeteria which was pretty awesome.

After lunch we played dodge ball and me being me, clumsy of course, twisted my ankle. But luckily it was only small injury. It was the end of the day and we headed back to Osaka and then to Nara for dinner. Again you guessed I had Starbucks, the usual and McDonalds for dinner. Josh and I then went off to a hat shop which is the most amazing place ever and brought some hats. Well I brought a black one and he brought  3 more.

Here is the picture with one the black ones being mine and the rest Josh's.

Mad Hatter

Headed back tot he hotel where I literally collapsed as I was so tired.

Day 11:

Today we were more like tourists, as we were off to Kyoto. Breakfast was various food then ice cream, yes they had ice cream for breakfast. It was an early start as we were on the shinkansen to Kyoto. We waited for our tour guide which didn't turn up as they got stuff wrong so we went back into Kyoto station which was very fancy. We ate donuts and went up to the roof top for the view and to chill until the tour guide and bus turned up eventually.

Kyoto station, very fancy

Roof top view

Our tour guide finally came and we were off. First stop was Kinkakuji or better known as the Golden Pavillion. I was going to be the third generation of my family to go as my mum and grandma had been when they went on a cruise or something. 

But well it is very GOLD!

Yeah very tourist here

It is gorgeous and huge. We walked around then went off to Kimizudera Shrine and Heian Shrine. Again amazing and very orange.

Heian Shrine

Emma, me, Ebony and Josh

There was a very cute garden area at the Heian Shrine which was beautiful.

FISHIES that bite

Josh and I with our signature move and matching hats.

TURTLES 

We then headed to Sanjusangendo Hall where there was a heap of statues like thousands. It was amazing, some were fixed up but they were just mind blowing. 

I cannot remember what we had for lunch or dinner. So I think I will end this day and head to Day 12, sorry.

Day 12:

Again ice cream for breakfast plus bacon and egg don't worry. We were off to Nara where there were deer, yes deer. We headed onto the train. When we got to Nara there was a cute little bakery where you chose your food and then went to the cashier. So we all stock up with food and drink and headed off to the park for a look at Tadaiji Temple and lunch plus deer.

Hello little deer

This one ate the chain after taking this photo

The deer kept following us as we had food and also one of our teachers was frightened of the deer. SO of course at lunch one of the students, John  got some of the deer to come towards us with chips, and she literally jumped up and ran. 

After a lovely picnic like lunch and trying not to get the deer to get our food we headed to Umeda to shop and look around. I really didn't like it there, the shops were all expensive shops and there wasn't much to look at. We were going to originally have dinner there but Josh and I plus other people persuaded the teachers to go to Nara for dinner. 

Josh and I had the usual, Maccas and Starbucks plus a bit of shopping. I got a Beatles and basketball type top from Forever 21 and a black collared shirt from H&M. It was some good shopping.

Headed back home for our second last night in Japan.

There we go, Part 4, only one more part to go and it is over. I wish I did this sooner as I am pretty vague now, starting to forget the finer details, sorry but I can still tell you parts of what we did. Have no idea when Part 5 will come out, but it will be soon hopefully.
