  • Good morning! welcome to vlogmas day 1. It's actually already like 2 pm.

  • It's been a long morning. I lost my glasses, my camera battery and...

  • what's the third thing I lost? Oh! I broke my straightener this morning.

  • so I was dealing with all that... finally I found everything and I got my straightener working long enough

  • to deal with this disaster and... yeah we are back in business

  • so hi guys! welcome to vlogmas! and today I got some fun stuff plan

  • and I'm actually gonna go see Miko. I know that you guys really

  • want a video update on Miko. If you don't know who Miko is, search for M-I-K-O cats on YouTube

  • and the videos that I've made of her previously will probably come out

  • I'm going to visit Miko. My friend does not live in the same town as me anymore

  • which is really sad but she is just a few trains away so I can go to see her

  • when I want to. So I'm gonna do that today so that I can show you guys Miko an update you want hear

  • Actually, she's been having some problems with her nose recently,

  • she's been having really bad nose bleed and my friend took her to the vet

  • and the don't know what it is. They give her some cold medicine but it didn't work

  • I kind of wish that they would like think a little harder about what it could be

  • We have a feeling it's because the winter air is really dry right now and that might be affecting her nose

  • so I ordered a humidifier on Amazon and I'm going to pay for that and then hopefully it will arrive

  • in a couple of days so she can start using that and hopefully that will help

  • oh my god, I gotta get dress and get started because it's already 2 o'clock

  • Maro are you hungry? I'm sorry

  • you have to wait a long time

  • there you go

  • oh wait, I gotta close this... wait, wait, wait... wait, wait

  • he can't wait he's really hungry. Ok I let you eat a bit

  • This new feeder is working so well guys, oh my god I love it. It was such a good investment. It was really expensive but

  • It's working exactly how it's suppose to work. Luna can't get into here to steal Maro's food so

  • That's what's important to me. Maro I gotta close this. Gotta close it!

  • Here you go

  • Luna

  • Have some, I just gave you some. It's here, Luna it's here

  • Here. There you go

  • There you go

  • good girl

  • come here

  • She is so cute, she pulled out and like balance one on her paw and eat it like that

  • Luna, come show them

  • good girl

  • or not

  • Hey guys I'm gonna show you how I make my veggie soup that I'm always tweeting about.

  • This is so easy to make if you have a slow cooker

  • If you don't have a slow cooker you can make it in a pot. I feel like it just take a lot more work if you do it in a pot

  • So slow cooker will make your life so much easier. Ok I'm missing one of the ingredients.

  • You also need to have some veggie broth cubes so I ordered the ones that I get from iHerb so I'm not gonna put it in today

  • It probably won't change the flavor that much but I'm assuming it tastes better with it in there

  • so as for veggies I've got orange pepper, broccoli and a red carrot

  • some onions

  • and garlic

  • and a can of tomatoes

  • You can put in whatever you like, this is a veggie soup, so just whatever you have in the fridge

  • and whatever you can find in the grocery store will work

  • as for seasonings we are gonna be using some paprika powder, black pepper, soy sauce

  • and this is the most important one that makes it taste really nice so old El Paso taco mix

  • it adds a really nice flavor to it. You get the spicy one if you look at kind of spicy too

  • and then just for some extras to give the soup some light thickness, I'll put in some quinoa and also put in some of this soup mix

  • believe you can also get this one on iHerb. I'll try to link the stuff that it's available on iHerb so you guys can see exactly what they all are

  • but yeah, basically you just cut up all the vegetables and dumping all the stuff into this pot and you turn it on and it'll be ready in four hours

  • the magic of slow cookers

  • Since it's the first day of vlogmas, I thought to show you guys then on what I'm planning doing throughout the month

  • so on the last day of vlogmas, December 25th, I'm gonna be doing a giveaway finally

  • I'm so sorry that I told you guys I will do a 200k giveaway and then I didn't get it prepared in time so

  • I've been saving up more things to add on to it and to make it a big holiday giveaway at the end of vlogmas so

  • what I'm gonna do is I'm going to choose seven people from within the comments of the vlogmas videos

  • so if you guys leave a comment on every vlogmas video you'll have more chances of being entered into the giveaway

  • but even if you leave comments in a couple of them you still have a little bit of a chance so

  • either way, whatever you guys wanna do, but yeah I'm gonna choose seven of you and

  • I'm going to put together packages of things that I've collected from all over Japan

  • summer stuff that I got on trips when I was down in Shikoku or when I was up in Aichi prefecture

  • also some things that I picked up around Tokyo

  • other things or stuff that I've shown in videos, like stuff I got at the Pokemon Center that you guys said you liked so

  • some of them I didn't open and kept it that way so that I can send it out to you guys so

  • yeah, lots of different things I'm gonna try and put together

  • seven packages so I hope I'll have a little bit of something for everyone in there so

  • whoever gets it will be happy with it so that's one big thing I'll be doing this vlogmas, I hope you guys enjoy that

  • I also be doing some shout-outs at the beginning of some of my blog videos

  • two channels that I think you guys might be interested in so look out for those every once in a while

  • and other than that I'm just gonna be filming my daily life and bring some questions and answers

  • I'm also hoping to get in some live shows and some mail openings throughout the month so

  • Lots of different things to look forward to and all included in some recipes for you guys but I tend to eat

  • he's cute

  • I tend to eat lots of the same stuff so I'm not gonna show you guys like what I've cooking every single day

  • because it would just be lots of soup and budel(?) bowls

  • but if I do make something new I will include some recipes

  • I also will be choosing for me to video to answer in the following videos so if you guys leave some questions

  • below this video I may choose your question to answer it at the end of tomorrow's vlog

  • also I'll be doing some travelling, I've got lots of plans to go back and forth to Tokyo to visit some people

  • that I'm really excited to see and do some business meeting and stuff that I may be able to involve you guys

  • and I'm not quite sure basically yeah, that's what it is so I really hope you guys enjoy this vlogmas

  • thanks again for joining me this year. I really look forward to because I had a blast last year

  • it was really neat being able to talk to you guys everyday. I really wish I can keep this up all year around

  • but it's just not like not something like I could do, it'd not be good for stress levels

  • but it is something that I really enjoy once a year so I hope you guys enjoy it too

  • but let's head out and go see Miko

  • hey

  • It's not that cold actually

  • (mumble) phoning me, it's them again. Fucking TV people, they've phoned me 17 times today

  • And they let it ring for like a long time each time until it cuts them off I guess

  • and there's no cancel button anymore

  • Miko!

  • Hey!

  • How are you?

  • remember me?

  • Do you remember me?

  • yeah?

  • How's her nose been?

  • It's been ok

  • Miko!

  • [laugh]

  • Miko say hi!

  • Everyone missed you!

  • too big now

  • They haven't seen you for a while [laugh]

  • [laugh]

  • If you guys follow me on Twitter, I tweet pictures of her some times

  • so if you want more Miko updates follow me there

  • [laugh]

  • she looks quite different from the last time I showed her in a video

  • Big now!

  • Don't look at me! [laughs]

  • Hey, don't do that

  • Okay, my friend wants to go to the second hand store to look for a tripod so

  • we're going to see if they have one... I hope they have some cool stuff there

  • I've never been to this one so it's interesting i used to live by this recycle store

  • back when I was in University and it was the coolest recycle store ever

  • they have toys and clothing, video games...

  • lots of like anime goods and figures and pokemon stuff so I hope the one by hers is cool like that, that would be really awesome

  • I'll keep you guys updated on how her nose issue turns out once we get that humidifier

  • in the room

  • so thirsty! we walked forever to get to the store

  • and I think I'm gonna get... I don't know. Can't choose between peach water and water

  • Peach water or water guys

  • Peach water!

  • So if you buy can coffee from this machine some of them would have a Gundam cap on top of them

  • That's so cool! I don't even want a coffee but I'm so tempted

  • They have lots of gotcha here... Look! a Ranma 1/2 gotcha

  • I've never seen one before

  • Ah! that's so tempting!

  • wii! If they had a Peach I would been doing it for sure. But they don't

  • This maneki neko is really cute too

  • Ah! there's Sonico gotcha here

  • Oh my god, I want them

  • You guys they have Chopper hats for cats

  • See?! they are so cute! Oh my god

  • I'm back home now, that recycle store was freaking awesome

  • I'm so jealous of my friend that she lives so close to it

  • but I got something really cool guys! but actually I can't show you what it is

  • because it's birthday present for two different people actually

  • so it can't be shown in my blog because I can't show it until I give it to them

  • but I guess you guys will see what it is eventually

  • because one of the vlogmas day will be the party where we open it

  • so look forward to that. Sorry I can't tell you. It's gonna be a big secret until then

  • but I'm really, really happy that I found something cool there. Really, really wasn't expecting to find that

  • and I also got some Pokemon figures I can show that to you guys

  • so I've already sorted them out into ones that I'm not collecting

  • and ones that I'm collecting

  • there aren't very many however the price for all of these was so cheap that it was worth it

  • for me to pay it just to get these ones. Altogether this was nine $9

  • and these are usually about $1 each, sometimes I can get lucky and find them three for a dollar

  • but to find ones in this good condition... like let me show them to you guys

  • to find ones in this good condition for such a low price is really rare so I am super stowed about that

  • these look amazing guys, look Mew and Mewtwo

  • was even a Raichu in there

  • and a Eve and they're all in amazing condition so

  • That was a score

  • so lucky

  • These ones I'm gonna like repaint them I think

  • I'm actually gonna use some of them in my giveaway so

  • if you see any Pokemon in here that you guys would really want me to put in my giveaway, let me know

  • If there's any you'd really like in here

  • Anyways let's go eat some soup. I'm really hungry!

  • So the soup turned out pretty good. I'm happy with the broccoli looks amazing. I don't usually put broccoli in it

  • Surprisingly enough but it looks really good. Let's try it! it's really hot though

  • It's pretty good. It's missing something. I definitely recommend putting corn

  • and shiitake mushrooms. I usually put those in there as well but I was too lazy to go the grocery store

  • but it's good

  • It's like it's good, it works with whatever vegetables [phone sound] you have as long as you have canned tomatoes but

  • Ok so Taylor pranked me again you guys [laugh]

  • but something went wrong. I'm not gonna tell you what it is. You're gonna have to go watch her vlog [laugh]

  • I'm still laughing about it. It's pretty funny

  • Alright. I'm gonna end today's vlog here guys. I'm gonna start editing this video

  • will be up in the morning for me so I hope you guys enjoyed vlogmas day one and I'll see you tomorrow

  • Remember to leave a comment if you would like to be entered into the holiday giveaway that will be drying

  • at the end of vlogmas and if you have any questions that you'd like me to answer in tomorrow's vlog, leave a question as well
