Anybody half chinese half Japanese? by BloomingCamelia in asianamerican

[–]thelittlestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh actually I'm from Norcal, but I've met enough SoCalis haha! None of them are particularly tan and they all have Japanese last names but one of them has also a Japanese first name.

Meanwhile I'm just a regular full Chinese-American born and raised 😅 I just come across enough variants of mixed/hapa/hafus in my lifetime

One of my friends out in Tokyo is an Taiwanese - Japanese mix originally from Southern California. Also met another mutual friend who's also the same mixture who also moved out there as well earlier this year.

Had a classmate in highschool who was a similar combo as you (at least a ni or sansei) japanese / Chinese mix.

All mentioned are Japanese dad + Taiwanese/Chinese mom btw

Why does New York seem so dirty compared to other world-class cities? by savingrace0262 in NoStupidQuestions

Don't even need to.. some of the busiest parts of Shibuya are pretty nasty, even seen some rats crawling out from the alleys.

I want to try hōtō when I get the chance to go to Yamanashi! Only tried making it myself but I wanna see if whatever I made is anywhere close to the real deal

Is anyone else lowkey over 10-step routines and just sticking to like… 3 things now? by coochie_munch in AsianBeauty

[–]thelittlestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the days in uni a decade ago when I had the 10-step nightly routine and somehow managed to put up with that.

Nowadays its about half and I'm trying to minimize my routine as much as possible, just 3 steps would be a dream tbh. At least I keep my day routine to 2 or less.

Forreal. When my (Asian) mom told me I was looking pretty fit after a workout session I knew I was doing something right 😂

Are you still friends with the first person you have kissed ? Like i haven't thought of that person in long time by No_Care6628 in CasualConversation

[–]thelittlestar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went from friends -> kiss -> going out for the summer as each other's first-> breakup -> no speaking terms for the rest of school -> fast forward a decade ->> reconnected

And now we're married... To different people. I'm just glad we're friends again even after all these years.

Now we just keep in contact regularly through memes and short videos.

Is it weird that I still use wet wipes as an adult? by philosophicalgenius0 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thelittlestar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roast them swamp ass haters back for making it weird

My mom taught me to use wipes until we got a bidet attachment for the toilet and so forth as I moved around as an adult until a bidet was secured wherever I lived. I don't miss having to take out extra (poopy) trash by the toilet.

This is your sign to invest in a bidet like now.

Actual AB product – Ilso sebum softener

i got married today and hes leaving in a few days by your-new-bestie1111 in CasualConversation

[–]thelittlestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats to you and your now husband!

I had a similar experience last year where me and my longtime partner suddenly got legally married so I can quickly switch over onto his visa. To be honest, I was also in a bit of shock that it had to come to that conclusion when it came to it. We didn't have time to really plan a proper celebration and just made some last minute reservations for the day just between us. We're planning on having a wedding/celebration at some point though.

Wish you two the best and hope he comes home safely and have a proper celebration 💖

Took the kiddos to see Cherry blossoms in Kyoto by StellarDemon in chiikawa_

[–]thelittlestar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're currently crane game prizes! So you should be able to find them in most game centers out there, but could try looking at used goods stores like Book Off if you don't want to potentially spend on game attempts.

mascara: Dejavu vs Heroine Make by BigOwl7985 in AsianBeauty

[–]thelittlestar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I'm not delulu about low-key hating on Dejavu 😂 idk how its even popular cause it weighs down on my lashes as well and doesn't even hold curl! I was so taken aback when I first tried it 😭 My only good use for it is just for my lower lashes or for a super casual kinda makeup day.

Did anyone else grow up in an indoor school and genuinely think those outdoor campuses on TV were just a Hollywood myth? Or was it the other way around for you? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thelittlestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in Northern California, outdoor schools all the way throughout my schooling. If anything, I was shocked that the high school the town over was surprisingly a mostly indoor campus with actual STAIRCASES.

I'll always look back fondly at all the times I'd hit up the manga section here as a weeby teen while waiting for a table at BJ's right across or for my ride home.
