#it's been .... a tough couple of weeks BAHAHAHA

[suosgirl]

The song Take a Chance on Me by ABBA is play in my head when I read your tags on your suo post 😂 I KNOW he’d be spoiling you rotten house husband or not though. I dunno if he’d ever be so happy as when he’s seeing you in your wedding dress for the first time. He’s got the eyepatch so if he tears up a bit he just has to make sure no one else can see the uncovered eye ig?

MARI AHH!!! HI!!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

omg I just listened to the song rn and .... the way they sing "take a chance"... yeah, that sounds about right BAHAHA, especially the line "that's all i ask of you honey"... yeahhh HAHA

but omg selfship wedding hcs? let me indulge Mari. first of all, I just KNOW that I would cry the minute I see him while I walk down the aisle. I honestly love the idea of walking to either this piano version of Sparkle from Your Name, this piano version of Nandemonaiya from Your Name, OR One Summer's Day from Spirited Away (y'all I think abt my future wedding a lot HAHA)

word vomit below hehe (,,>﹏<,,)

also gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Suo would wear a Chang Pao Ma Gua bc it's the Chinese traditional wedding suit for men, but you know what I would wear????

hehe I'm filipino american so I would wear a modern Filipiana dress!!! pic for reference hehe

and I know ... I just KNOW that he would have Hozier-level wedding vows. and it would absolutely make me cry. and I would have to bring a fan so that I can dry my eyes while he talks.

but when I say my vows? oh. he's gonna try so hard, so hard not to show how affected he really is, but listen. I'm a huge sap. I go all in. My vows are gonna be a bit of everything - a little teasing, a little sentimental, a little lovey-dovey. I'd absolutely slip a line in there like "I never knew someone could know me better than myself, but here we are" and "It's hard for me to rely on anyone, but with you, it was as natural as breathing".

and by the end of it, he'll blame it on the season (spring wedding when the flowers are in bloom), but I know better. when I see his eye, and the way it starts to barely glisten, just the tiniest shine, I'll know I've got him.

AND THE FLOWERS AT OUR WEDDING? Suo coordinates it, naturally, with his knowledge of the flower language of course. And the thing is his ass would be the type not to tell me until the actual day of the wedding. We'll be seated at the table after the official ceremonies are actually over and everyone's just having fun. He'll lean over, with a soft smile, to whisper into my ear about the flowers he's chosen and what they mean for him and for us and he'd reduce me to a blubbering mess all over again.

But when I grab his hand? With my wedding ring (one that he's chosen) shining on my ring finger? Oh. I don't even need to say anything. He'll just grip my hand a little tighter, kiss my cheek a little sweeter, and look into my eyes a little longer, and I'll know - he's just as in love with me as I am with him.

So, Monday last week, it was 26 Celsius... Today, the following Monday, there was a high of 13 x'D

It's been a very mild autumn even for Osaka. Last week we were all like "huh? is this summer? the heck's going on?" Usually, by November, there are no more days over 20. We're still above freezing, buuut it hardly ever hits freezing here (I've seen flurries a couple times but never real snow).

So, currently, it's 7 degrees, and that's considered Pretty Cold for this area, lol. And especially coming off the bonkers summer-like heat we had last week, my body was not prepared bahahaha.

This morning I debated whether to wear a warmer jacket. But I thought, well, I always get warmed up from the 20 min walk to the train station, and once I'm on the train it'll be way too hot in a warm jacket between the AC and the body heat from the many many many passengers. So I figured morning would be fine, and I'd just tough it out walking home in the cold.

But... first of all, despite growing up with lots of cold and blizzards, I never did get used to it. I'm a total wimp in the cold. (ex. there's still girls in their school uniforms not wearing tights, which would have been impossible for me) And so I was really miserable the minute I stepped off the train tonight bahaha. And it's been four years since I bought a jacket, so I decided to go to Uniqlo, where I found the softest, fuzziest, coziest jacket ever. The minute I put it on I was toasty warm, without being too warm like I would have been in my winter coat. It was night and day. I went from cold to pleasantly warm in the blink of an eye. And the material is soooooo soft and plush, it's like being wrapped in a blanket instead of a jacket. AND it came in the most gorgeous dark gray-green color (I have a pink hat this year, so I should have got light blue or black... but i just love this shade of green... I do like pink/green combo but this one isn't It, so hey, an excuse to buy another hat x'D). AND it was on sale for under 2,000 yen.

I can't even express how blissfully happy I was after buying it. I even enjoyed the walk home in the cold.

Honestly, I wonder how I survived living in the rural north for two years with nothing but a broken kerosene heater and a small floor space heater x'D how did I do it, wimp in the winter that I am?? Every night I would wear a fleece jacket and a hoodie in bed with my warm pajamas and burrow into the futon like it was a sleeping bag. Can't leave the space heater on all night, too dangerous, so I'd wake up early, turn it on, and stay huddled in ten layers until it was warm enough to change. And then I would change clothes inside my futon, a skill I mastered in Girl Scout encampments lol. When I got home from work, I would sit in the living room with all the doors closed, still wearing my winter coat and gloves, and just be still until the space heater was enough to warm the small room. Cooking, or especially taking a shower, was awful because those rooms got no heat at all

yeah.... I'm definitely a warm climate type of girl, despite having only ever lived in cold places my whole life until I moved to Osaka

anyway yeah best jacket ever!!!
