Welcome to ---, California :D (& Sub-post about Pennsylvania :3)

I figured the next entry has been long overdue :P


Christine and I will soon be starting our trans-pacific adventure to Japan and China :D super exciting! but first, the fun starts here where I am: Californiaaaaaaa! home of Disneyland, Hollywood, the LA Lakers and the Golden Gate Bridge :D 

*cue Katy Perry and her unfortunately catchy song "California Gurls"*


 ----, CA is a small town, not the best in the world, but the kind of place where you say hi to the neighbors and buy snow cones and hot corn from the man selling stuff out of a grocery cart lol and of course, my family is here! Catherine, Albert, Paul, Michael, Steven, Andrew, Priscilla and Justin :D 


I can't wait until you come, Christine! I love Cali and I hope you do too :] how was Philadelphia?

I actually wrote some stuff about Philadelphia in my own blog -- it's all locked up though, more for my own memories :3   Philadelphia was pretty fun, lots of sightseeing ^ ^  We actually first visited some other cities in Pennsylvania, namely "Amish Country," which was absolutely beautiful countryside.  Main sites include the Hershey Chocolate Works, buggy rides, lots of farms, and huge expanses of green and trees.  It was kind of a shock going to Philadelphia proper, which was completely inner city-style.  Chaos and people everywhere, but kind of exciting.  Lots of U.S. historical sites there -- definitely worth a trip!

I'm posting on Thursday, so this time tomorrow I'll be joining Tiffy in California and we'll be sun-bathing it up on the beautiful beaches :3  Yay, excited~

Moshi moshi! -- The first day of the rest of our lives

Hi everyone~

Tiffy doesn't know how to start so I will just type random things. :3
(That is probably a really bad way to start a blog, but I guess we'll just go with it ^ ^;;)

Today (technically yesterday) was our graduation ceremony, and we are officially not students anymore. (UT alums... alumnius. Alumnuses. No, alumni.) it's been a fast four years and in that time, Christine and I have not hung out enough! i'm surprised we had time to cram all the late night costuming sessions, trips to taphouse and ballroom dancing classes in the last semester....and now we're both graduating UT?!

guess that's how the blog came about.

I guess we should probably explain a little bit about ourselves and our blog. So, first off -- Hi, I'm Christine, and I am blue. Tiffy is sitting next to me. She is a really cute, sexy, and fun person :3... Okay, she might delete that part, but anyways, she will be represented in yellow (unless we change the color).

So Tiffy and I actually didn't know each other before this semester very well, and we just recently became friends and have hung out together a lot and became close, which I'm really happy about because she is a super awesome girl friend. We made this blog because we hoped to keep track of our adventures and keep in contact, because we are separating ways (physically). So, for this blog, we'll be posting about our costumes, travels together, food, and other fun stuff. Please look forward to it!

Our blog name came out of wanting something both cute and cool and representative of Japanese culture, because we will be doing a lot of cosplaying and our first travel trip will be to Japan, and we both like Japanese stuff (even though neither of us are Japanese, haha~;;)... So, we came out with using something about mochi (because mochi ice cream is so nommy), and then we put mochi mochi because it sounds cuter, but then Gmail didn't have that available, so we used hellomochimochi as per Tiffy's suggestion, and you know, hello mochi just sounds really cute. Yep.

yessss please keep up with us and our adventures now that we've graduated college :P it's not often that you meet cute engineers and yet here christine is! haha she might delete that too but it's true :D (What? No.) christine's an EE with awesome baking skills and i'm a video game loving BME who will change the world as a professor someday. lol watch for the teacher in converse.

life for sure is changing quickly for us, but our friendship is something we want to continue forever :) i look forward to the things we'll do and the places we'll go in the future...
