Well, I'm doing this first because (1) it's a light month, (2) I have to deal with Lunar New Year over the weekend lol we don't even have the reunion dinner of a hotpot ready, and (3) I just realized I caught a cold. Oops. *giggles*

But also more importantly as I copied the title so I don't key it wrongly, did I screw up the title of the previous one?? *laughs* If you haven't noticed, then I've done a great job to fix it. Or you just know what I meant. This isn't a Tuesday/Thursday short-form situation anyways- I did this on a Friday. *laughs* Get it, because-

My jokes are lame so I hope my fanclub subscriptions aren't, so let's talk about why I shouldn't have to pad this order! *laughs*

UNBOXING NOW!! Haha no bullsh*t here. Well, there isn't much so

Okay let's do the Hocchan first haha please we can do that she is 4 four too pure lmao, and we will split them up talking about her stuff, this is Horie Yui's live tour goods from last year! Yeah, Sumipe's ones came in early as of last month. *laughs* So yeah, hers came in late not even in time for Christmas, so she was the saving grace to pad this order- Or is it the other away around?? *giggles* Because apart from the usual bromide photos which I would appreciate because who likes Hocchan nowadays besides me lol, and I also bought some random trading cards which... now that I look at the photos, these aren't too bad considering she is doing the JK theme the 3rd time coming.

So yeah this is rather expected for me and probably not for you but this explains how I have extended the fanclub membership for yet another year despite my reluctance last year, it's Kouno Marika's fanclub new year card! Yeah, this is a yearly thing now but not in the first year they did this which I also signed up for all because they promised Marinka-chan will write your name on the membership card ah those were the days, this one she didn't write my name, don't think too much about it. *laughs* Still, now I wish I should subscribe to TrySail's fanclub because just like theirs, Marinka-chan did draw the new year card herself which... well you can see for yourself.

To another half a year of Marinka-chan membership! *giggles* What, she just ranted about her life and talked about how many people around her helped her through tough times when she went quiet for a year a couple of years ago during her fanclub livestream yesterday, of course I'm unsubbing. *wink*

Okay I knew of this ever since the new year passed by lol but hey unlike Marinka-chan's fanclub which just sent you a card, Minase Inori's fanclub new year card does come with some digital benefits, so I promise you I have already put snake charmer Inorin as my desktop wallpaper ever since the new year started, and I don't think I will change it out anytime soon. No really, so sexy, I'm reminded to NOT show you guys any of them so SUCK IT haha get it as in snake sucking of blood- She is going to snake charm and kill me, dude. *giggles*

Those new year cards are just appetizers, so let's talk about fanclub newsletters! *laughs* Yeah, this is all it by the way so if you aren't keen you can leave, but maybe me talking about Minase Inori fanclub's latest newsletter which she managed to mail... to a forwarding service so I can mail to myself at home (haha just doesn't have the kick to it huh) will get you interested... or not because damn, am I missing out on her recent half-album (yep) last year and the subsequent live tour which again, I do not have the privilege to attend. *sob* Anyways, it's not about that, we are just here for the cuteness, the reporting here is secondary. *giggles* No really, just look at the cover, dude!

Now that I kind of wish I either read the mail and/or thought that they might actually do this so I don't need to further pad my order with whatever was afterwards, but hey, this is Horie Yui fanclub's newsletter and new year card!! Okay, even till Christmas so DAMN did these guys bring their blessings far from last year till the new year- I was just a month late. *laughs* Which was really interesting because apart from the post card, I also got a badge of a dragon? Did they miss the year? It's the Year of the Snake now, you know. *laughs* Okay never mind I have continued her fanclub subscription I wonder if the badge was for that, because Hocchan you are very welcome I will support you until you get a family of your own. Which might be never but so am I so *shrugs* hehe

I should really sub back to TrySail's fanclub again. *giggles*

I would argue this is overkill since it didn't make the international shipping cheaper... *laughs* I feel like I should not do this because for starters I timed it right...? Alright it's yet another Suruga-ya run once again to end the year? Start the year? Whatever. *laughs* I bought this on a Thursday which for context was their mid-week sale so to be able to ship this on time this weekend and uh... just forgot that I could just wait for Sundays for further discounts (it's free shipping on both days) so I kind of just panic bought Kana-chan and Inorin even though we all know I want to secure more Mocho. *dabs* Great summary me, great summary- Hey don't do this again this year okay? We need the latest stuff to drop WAY FURTHER in price before getting them. *giggles* Ooh Rieri bromide. *laughs*

Oh, I will still do the fanfic tomorrow, Lunar New Year got no cut on this timeless and comforting nerd space of a blog. *giggles* AND WITH THIS!! *giggles* I shall conclude my work for... the month, not the year. That was last year. I'm just taking a break. More so because damn, did the influenza catch on to me. So welp, I might not be able to eat damn snacks, and not like I have been these past few years. Stay tuned tomorrow morning for another story sprouted from my monkey brain, and then... well, I will watch Anime as usual but not until I have to deal with the many things going around the house we are trying to keep a tradition of. *silence* No, not that sofa, I didn't buy that. Wait, I did, at instruction of the mom. *laughs* Yeah I'm doing fine and I hope you are too. See you next time!
