last haul... BEFORE BIRTHDAY!! (TOMORROW!!!)

HELLOOOOO i have finally gone on the longest anticipated shopping trip planned before my birthday!!

i found a mall online that wasn't super far from where i lived, but it was one i had never been to before. they had a directory online so i planned out where i wanted to go and today (technically yesterday now) me, my mom, and my aunt all went on a shopping trip :3 

here's the haul!!

i honestly was disappointed with that mall for the most part. it seems like i went at a time where there wasn't a whole lot of anything. all the pictures online were dated about a year old or later, but i was hoping they'd generally have some of the same stuff. their miniso was rlly good though!! i'm willing to give it another shot, i just think i had too high of expectations and maybe went at a bad time. i was also super overwhelmed with how many people and screaming children were there... >_<

the BEST ITEMS from this haul came from a different location that we went to. it was an anime store that i went to with my grandma not too long ago. i saw that GIANT miku and thought there was no way i could afford her... but maybe my mom and aunt would be on board getting her for my birthday. and I WAS RIGHT!!! SHE IS MINEEEE

here's some close up shots of miss miku out of her box <3 <3 <3

she is one of the tallest and i think *the* most detailed figure i own by far. i had some other expensive figures on my radar that i wont have the budget for now, but i think my pick was definitely worth it <3

tomorrow (today technically, but when i wake up) i wont have much going on except for sitting around online in anticipation. then the next day is the big day!!! i have one more shopping trip planned on my actual birthday at one of my favorite punk/goth clothing stores because they give u a nice discount for your bday :3 then i'll have dinner with my family and cake!! i hope all goes well!!
