Rika no Time Slip ~ An Album with a Decade of Nostalgia ~
My time slip album from 1998 to 2008.
It’s an album filled with embarrassment, cuteness and many nostalgic memories!
So let’s reverse time. All the way back to 1998. Ten Years Ago, I looked like…
1998 – Spring
This! When my hair was still curly and had round-shape glasses. As a 4-year old, I loved rain! I’d take an umbrella out and jump in lots of puddles! :D
1999 – Autumn
My Halloween costume when I was in Kindergarten: Minnie Mouse! I think I did this costume twice though…
1999 – Winter
Personally, I loved that sweatshirt! And I still do! But I think I gave it away… :(
2000 – Spring
This picture was before I went to my 6th birthday party. This is actually a picture of the family room before it was remodeled in ‘02! :D
2001 – Winter
Me and my cat Freddie! He was still a kitten at that time. When I looked at this picture, I couldn’t believe that he was THAT small! Nyaaan~ :3
2001 – Winter
They buried me. O_O Taken in the Dominican Republic.
2002 – Autumn
Zzz…
[TIME SLIP! Three Years Later...]
Sorry! There weren’t any pictures in ‘03 and ‘04 in the Z drive… ^^;;
2005 – Winter
Christmas at 11 years old. Me watching TV. Bored… *sigh*
2006 – Spring
Rika and the Green Scooter. No comment. :)
2007 – Spring
April 29th. Happy 13th Birthday Rika-chan! Here’s your present: A new cellphone! I was SOOO surprised! :D
2007 – Autumn
Rika and her loveable cat Shadow! :3
2007 – Winter
Merry X’mas from Rika! <3
2008 – Summer
Me at Jersey Shore. This picture’s not bad~ x3
2008 – Summer
Me and my pink Hello Kitty at Rye Playland.
So, how was it? You got to see a lot of different Rikas today! I can’t believe all those pictures were me! Well, I’m glad to still be here today! Hope you all can still support me for the future so I can grow older, smarter and live a happy life.
Well, that’s all folks! See ya next time with a new post filled with extra Rika-Rika-ness! x3
Here Fishy Fishy~
Today I went out on another summer trip with my mom and my close friend (who I call my “older-sister” figure). Today’s trip was to…
New York Aquarium! :3 Rii loves sealife! Penguins, seals, jellyfish, turtles, sharks, you name it, I love it! <3
Let’s start the slideshow!
That fish was staring at me so much I was freaked out and kind of annoyed. Maybe it likes me~ *glub glub*
Seal-san~~~! Aren’t they adorable? I’d love to keep one as a house pet! If I had a gigantic pool that is… ^^;;
Otter-kun~~~!!! Yet again, another kawaii sea mammal! Isn’t it weird that they swim on their backs? Plus they flip a lot when diving into waters. I kept saying, “Look! It’s Michael Phelps!” when I’d see otter-kun swim~ x33
And now, one of my good faves…
PENGUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are the BEST! ^o^ However, their specie name is weird…
I wonder these penguins are jackasses? Plus their braying sound is very weird… But overall, they’re cute and I LOVE ‘em! <3
Fishy mirrors! I saw them in one of the restrooms and I liked them so…
Kame-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan~~~! Turtles are cool, huh? Plus they’re HUMONGOUS! I bet this one’s very old! Maybe 100 years? Well, as far as I know they can live to be very old~~~ I’d love to hug this cute kame! But, I was worried about kame-san for one reason. And that is…
Sharks!!! Yup, there were a few of them in the tank! About three. I feel bad for the turtles if they were attacked by one of them~ >.<
After that we headed to the Aquatheater to see a sea lion show! Sorry no pics. All the pics I took were kinda bad… Those sea lions were very intelligent! And it must be fun to be a sea mammal trainer. I bet it pays a lot~~~
GIGANTO WALRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool, huh? They must be the size of two dinner tables, which could be a WHOLE ton!
And that was all for the aquarium! After that was (Yes there’s more~)…
CONEY ISLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay!! I’ve always wanted to go there~ And I did~~ It was totally fun!!
The Wonder Wheel! Even though I didn’t ride it, it looked coolies!! But I did ride this…
Musik Express! It’s the same ride I did at Playland but it had a rock ‘n’ roll 50’s theme rather than a hip-hop theme~~ My legs were wobbly after I got off. And they still ache! Ah well, that’s life.
The Cyclone coaster (with Wonder Wheel and Observation Tower in the background)! Of course, Rii didn’t ride the Cyclone… Rii don’t likey coasters! xP
Boy, I had such a great time! I wanna go again!!! Well, I’m tired. Have a good night! :D
Why Random?
Yes. Why be random? Well, it’s my job!
Purply opened up a wordpress recently. Yes, you’re thinking. “Who the heck is Purply?” She’s my dai-senpai in Twilight Legend (the fandubbing group that I mentioned a while back in January that is now known as Totally Up! Project and I FINALLY got into TL this summer! Yay!). She nicknamed my blog as “Rika Chihara the Smooth Detective” in her blogroll of friends. Smooth Detective? Well, I only did two reports… But, ah well. Can’t be helped, right? It’s what I’m planted with. (O_O ?! And that line meant…)
Today was the last day of my camp. Ah well. At least I was occupied this summer. They give out prizes at the end of the week and I saved all of my points (Points are money to buy the prizes at camp) I got each week. I got 4 wristbands to Playland through September and an iTunes $15 gift card for my parents to share. I’ll take my mom, me and two other people to Playland (gotta find two people willing to go in these last two weeks of the summer… Hmm~~~). Now that camp’s over, at least two weeks are left until I’m a freshman! *CRAP!* Here’s something funny, one of my camp counselors from my camp is gonna be a teacher at my high school! What a coincidence! Ain’t this a small world?
I’m gonna to NYC (again! ^^) tomorrow~~~ It’s fun to be only one hour away from the city (Yes, all you Californians, envy me for being a Jersey girl! Kidding~~~) Why you ask? I’m gonna see a Broadway show! YAAAAAY~~~! Did I mention I’m a big Broadway fan? Guess not. Well, I really love it! Now you know my whole personality: Arts & Culture. Anything under that is my thing! Singing, International-ness, Drama, Drawing, whatever it is, you name it! :D And the show I’m seeing is…
DUN DUN DUHHHHHHHHH!!!
Phantom of the Opera!
I’ve been looking at it and thinking about seeing it for a while but I just can’t find a right chance to see it! It was a Mother’s Day Present to mom from dad. The whole family’s going. Mom. Dad. Older Brother. Me. I wonder what my brother’s opinion will be? He’s not a theater-type. All about Sports for him. Well, he’s a guy. What else do you expect?
Ummmm… Is that all I got to say? Looks like it. Ah well. ‘Till next time.
Stay Tuned! <3
Snip! Snip!
I got a haircut today! Wanna see?
Before… (Taken August 9th)
After!! (Taken August 13th)
Yup! I moved my bangs (which grew after a whole year pushed to the sides) to the left side of my face! :D
You likey? I likey a lot! Maybe I’ll do side bangs sometime with a short cut~~~
But I’m still thinking about so… Enjoy this hairstyle for now!
Bye Byeeeeez~!!!!
Hello Again! :D
Like the title, “Hello Again!” :D Rika desu~! v(^o^)v
Today I’m gonna talk about some of my recent I’ve done and all that jazz! Yaaaaaaaaaay~~~!
Yesterday I went Mountain Creek Water Park! Wheee~~! Yet again, another camp trip it was. Sadly, we couldn’t bring our backpacks in the park so no pictures. :( Sowwie, some things just have to be done, ah well, at least it was fun~! ^w^
As you may or may not know, I went to Emerald Isle, North Carolina a week ago. It was…okay…? Well, we had a 12HOURCARRIDETHERETHANKYOUVERYMUCH! >.< Bleh, I hate sitting in the car for more than 4 hours! Dx We also visited some relatives on my dad’s side there, too. They’re nice all, but, sometimes I just can’t stand them! xP Glad it’s over though! The condo we were in was so-so and the Internet connection was fried and it took ATLEAST20MINUTESFORTHEREDBARTOFILLUPONA6MINUTEVIDEOONYOUTUBE! I gave up, pretty much. When I got home, I was kinda behind on lines and watching eppies on crunchyroll. Ah well. Thank goodness I got caught up with work in only 2 mere days!
And as for today, mommy went to Sandy Hook beach with a friend and my brother is working all day today at the pizza shop in our town to earn more money for college. Yes, my brother is a pizza delivery man. He makes plenty of money, plus tips! Only 22 more days until he leaves the family for college! O.O I’ll miss him and love the fact he’ll be gone so I can focus maybe a little harder with high school. So pretty much, it’s just me and dad today. Home alone. Well, I did one this morning, I cleaned up all of my stuffed animals I didn’t need anymore, and shall donate them to children in Africa! This is a true fact. I totally mean it! Yup, I’m a good girl, aren’t I? :3 Mommy praised me, too. Well, what should I do today? Record leftover lines? Mix lines? Veg out? Well, I know I’m gonna be doing all three. Maybe dad will take me out to lunch! Hehe~~~
Well, see ya next time! Bye Bye~~~ <3
