Tokyo Disneyland Part 3

Hello~

My final post for our Disneyland trip is finally here!! I'm going to proceed with a photo of Westernland! 


It's like stepping into the Wild wild west of Texas hehe (/^▽^)/~



My dear in front of the Town Hall building. The only thing that was missing was a cowboy hat and he will blend into the surrounding perfectly (ノ´∀`*)ノ


One more photo of Westernland before we headed further down...

...and saw this tall building!!








Though the building looks unique, we didn't go for it as we already experienced the attraction at LA Disneyland. The Enchanted Tiki Room was about four songbirds singing their favorite songs before going into the storyline which also involved more birds singing (ノTДT). Unlike LA Disneyland, the one in Tokyo featured the Lilo and Stitch theme, however, I am not a fan of Lilo and Stitch and I don't enjoy hearing audio-animatronic birds screech no matter how enchanting they might appear to be
 >.<.


So, we headed for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride!


It was our favorite ride back in LA Disneyland!! And to be fair, we think this is the only attraction that was done better in the States (´−`). Unfortunately, the one in Tokyo has less impact and effects but it's still an exciting ride that I'll recommend everyone to go (⌒▽⌒).


Because we got tired of walking, we decided to sit a train around Disneyland...

Too! Too~ ^o^/!!
The whole journey was so relaxing and chilling with many things to see... I absolutely love it!


Here are some photos that I took on the train ride~












The Japanese are so friendly. Many of them will actually stop and wave at you as your train passed by haha~
Not only on land...



But along the river too...
This group actually stopped rowing just to wave at us lol~!! It makes me feel so delighted to know that there are still many people in this world who will stop what they are doing just to give some warmth and attention to strangers who happened to pass by. Japan is definitely one of the few places that I felt grateful to step into (^▽^)❤.


Found this landscape so beautiful~!



As we travelled into a dark cave, and there were dinosaurs!!

]
Jurassic Park in the making ヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ~


Those are automatic dinosaur btw, not pictures, even though they appeared like painted shots on my camera >‿<.


After riding the train, we went to take another ride... but this time, on a boat ^-^~!!


I only managed to show two pictures as the rest of them came out blurry due to the instability of the 
boat ╥﹏╥.


かわいい象 (*´▽`*)~!!


It was getting dark after the boat tour...

...and the streets in Disneyland was just sooo beautiful and romantic ♡∀♡~




It's such a perfect place to fall in love... which was what I did three years ago when I visited this magical place in USA with my dear ('∀'●)♡. He made me felt like a princess who finally met her prince back then and there. He still does so now and I trust he will continue to love me unconditionally in the future
(/♡//∇/♡/). Who say fairytale love doesn't exist? 




As night fell, we got hungry and had our dinner at one of their restaurants...

This is what I ordered~! Mickey mouse rice set!!
かわいいですね!!(⌒▽⌒) 


A happy but hungry girl ready to eat (^▽^)~!! 
いただきます!!

After dinner, we stood around to watch the nigh time parade. It's called the Tokyo Disneyland Electrical  Parade Dreamlights (-^〇^-) !


As many people were there earlier, as early as 2 pm,  to camp for a good spot to watch the parade, we could only watch from a far distance TT___TT. 


Even though it looked small from where we were, the parade was still looking gorgeous and colorful!! 




Sadly, my Iphone 5 camera couldn't take many clear shots of the parade ヽ(´Д`ヽ. But given that we were so far behind and it was so dark, I think my phone camera did a pretty decent job in capturing those moments.


I really didn't want to leave this enchanted land, but I supposed all good things have to come to an end ( ╥﹏╥)...

How can anyone bear to leave such a beautiful place!! NOOOO!! I don't want to go homeee (ノTДT)~!!



I will miss you so badly!!



But before we leave, my dear went into the jewellery store and got me...

A pair of mickey mouse earrings (´∀`)♡~!!

Three years ago, he surprised me with a purple pair of mickey mouse earrings during the time we spent in LA Disneyland. I was deeply touched by his promise later to bring me to every Disneyland around the world and get me a pair of earrings at each Disneyland we visit. So, this is the 2nd pair which he got for me!! He can be so romantic and sweet at times that it makes me melt into his arms \(@ ̄∇ ̄@)/. Haha! What a very lucky girl I am to start my fairytale in Disneyland~!



If anyone were to ask me what is the happiest place in the world. My answer will definitely be: Disneyland because it's the place where I found the love of my life and beautiful promise was made. 

My happily ever after. 

I'll certainly go back  to this magical place again (^▽^)❤!! 

And everyone should too~! Your fairytale might be waiting for you there!

Wishing everyone an happily ever after
Ashley

Marble Wonderland Fashion Show

Hello~

I am back to blog about AFA Marble Wonderland Fashion Show! Let me start by showing you my Tokyo Kawaii style dress...

I'm so in love with those butterfly wings (´∀`)♡~!!!
とてもきれいです!!

Besides the beautiful outfit, they even offered me two pairs of Vanity brown monthly colored  lens from Japan - one to be worn for the show, and another as a gift! That's so generous of them ヾ(´▽`;)ゝ!!


 Being the Number 1 best selling colored lens in Japan, Vanity brown is one of the most pretty and comfortable lens I ever owned. That's explain why it's highly popular among many famous Japanese models and celebrities. But sadly, I think it's only sold in Japan o(´^`)o. Why must all good things only be made available in Japan TT___TT ?!! 

However, you can visit their official website for more information about the Vanity brown lens that I'm wearing.



Here's my final look after changing into the outfit: 

I'm so ready for the fashion show \(//∇//)\!!




But before that, here's some photos taken with the other models and staffs backstage! 

With Vivian~

Her Fig&Viper style is so cool (ノ゚0゚)ノ!!

Thank you for having me in the show and all the assistance that you have given us backstage. 
I had a great time chatting with you!! 
Hope to see you again in Japan!


The director of Sozo and producer of MMK, Jim~! He's the success behind AFA, and a friend whom I have known for a long time (^▽^). Thank you for making AFA better year after year, and for having me to be a part of your great event~! 



Finally, I'll proceed to the fashion show stage~!! 
It's a pity I didn't get to watch the performance (and I regret forgetting to take photos with Alodia and Hiraki as I was in a hurry to go off) T_T, therefore, please note that all photos below are credited to their respective owners.

Everyone is saying THANK YOU~ ヽ(∀゜ )人( ゜∀)ノ!!!

I'm truly blessed with the great experience that was given to me ~!

The Fashion show was a BIG success!!

うれしいな~!!

Whether you agree with me or not, Japanese people are really wonderful to work with. They are not only amazingly friendly and polite, they also show no sign of arrogance, and are really efficient with whatever that's needed to be done. Let's not forget, they will help you without complaining too ^^. Therefore, I have always enjoyed working with them. 
And to the organizers of Sozo and Twin Planet, once again, I will like to thank you for giving me this golden opportunity (/^▽^)/!! 
ありがとうございました~!!

For now, it's a goodbye to AFA 2013~!! 
I will see you again next year (≧∇≦)/!!
