Do Re Mi

I started working at this kiosk in the mall to earn some extra $$$ but now that I think back, it was a bit of sacrificed time with being so boring here. Now that I've had the experience of working in a kiosk opposed to a shop, I would describe it as being at the very bottom of the retail food chain, at least, that's how it goes in our mall. People working at this kiosk cannot even go to the restroom without someone from another store watching our space for us. We're also sort of stuck standing here for a good 5 hours at a time without any lunch break or any break for that matter. :( I'm proud of myself that I stuck it out for at least 3 months which most of it was during my school semester and I was pretty busy the whole time. This job actually did something good aside from earning money; it made this past semester practically fly by. I admit this job wasn't completely crappy. It was just the slowness and boring long hours of time of just standing ...

For my past birthday, my brother was super thoughtful and got me my favorite food! I had to work on my birthday but it seemed so worthwhile to come home to fresh pizza. ("^o^") My expressions when I got home were literally like this: (~_~)...(>_>)...(*o*)...(>w<)...("^_______^") *nom*<3 *nom*<3 *nom*<3 Pizza and breadsticks <3 It was delicious. (^w^) ~ <3 Crazy bread from Little Caesars is really good for a simply seasoned breadstick. Thanks little bro-! (^_____________^)

I found these pics from 2011-05-14. It was a very peaceful day doing almost nothing, lol. The house was so clean! I think it's because we had that quaint small coffee table instead of our usual large 6 seater one that was still with my dad in WA. Babycakes is resting in one of her favorite spots. :3 CLEAN~!!! (*o*) This was one of those furikake packets from Uwaji. It's a pretty good idea to have egg, rice, and furikake mixed in one. It's one of those emergency food things where you didn't think about dinner and have no other options. xP Good emergency food since we usually have rice and eggs on hand. ;) Tea drawer. Love the hot water dispenser. A MUST buy if you live in a cold environment. Worth every penny (as long as you get a fair price that is). We bought ours for around $100 a year or two ago. Ahhh... Hoji-cha.......... ("^_____^") It makes me feel so toasty warm inside. <3 <3 <3 And here's the carb-packed midnigh...

We stopped at this crepe stand in a mall near Seatac Airport. The display is so pretty and appealing. They have tuna and egg salad crepes but I'm not that adventurous. Their crepes were good but they can't compare to the ones in Harajuku Japan. I think they just give too much because I get so full from these crepes.. I can't even eat a whole one unless I'm really hungry maybe. One of the piers at Mukilteo Harbor. It was very low tide that day. The water looks pretty clear here until it hits the deep point. I still get creeped out at what could be lurking in the murky waters of the Puget Sound. Familiar scenery... Good food from Bento Time. :) There's something about bento that makes them so appealing. Perhaps all the choices? Did lots of shopping at Uwaji's. I always get like this when I'm thinking I'll probably never come back. (-v-);; This was all from early May, 2011 but me being me, I procrastinated this long and have al...

It was so fresh and relaxing that day. The light, delicate fragrance of flowers filled the air and it was overcast and cool. Kirei desu ne... Tulips I planted a couple years back. They're doing so well now, I think they even multiplied~ :D My manager who's daughter sold these to me said that in the fall, I should dig up the bulbs and distribute them more evenly throughout the yard. Their shape and color changes in direct sunlight. I always look for these flowers on the main street. They look like cute pink puffballs of goodness. lol It was a very beautiful and fragrant spring this year with cool, breezy weather. (^^)

I finished this book last night staying up until 1am. (>_<) I really love the story of Tarzan. There's something very intriguing about a baby being raised by apes and learning to survive in the jungle. Edgar Rice knows how to make his descriptions just so appealing. My eyes were glued to the pages whilst reading about the interactions between Tarzan and Jane. Jane was thinking most of the time how hot Tarzan was, lol. There's lots of reader candy with the constant reminders of how handsome and perfectly toned Tarzan's body is, hurhur. ;) I'm a sucker for romance stories, especially with a hero as physically perfect and chivalrous as Tarzan. The story is cool too and I'm patiently waiting for tomorrow when I can go to the library and borrow the next volume to see what happens with Tarzan and Jane~! I'm so happy because I checked the library last night and they had the book checked in. Guess not too many people are borrowing Edgar Rice books...

I started watching this after seeing a lot of Lucky Star hype on yt. I really liked Nostromo's Hypno Star AMV so that sort of made me more prompt with watching it. This show is so full of cuteness and moe that it's coming out of my ears (">o<") I love the slice of life quality about it and the parodies this show makes are hilarious. A few memorable anime parodies this show does is Code Geass and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I especially like Anime Tencho (AKA Meito Anizawa) from the manga shop, lol. Crazy shop dude...... I'd be seriously scared to enter a store if a shopkeeper like this was in it, lol. Konata is my fav character. I've never seen an anime otaku that was female. I like her relaxed, fun-loving personality (n_n) She's really short like me so maybe I feel a higher kinsman-ship with her as I'm short, orz. She has this personality that I really like. Maybe it's that anime craziness yet she's so funny about it...

I slept till past noon again... *Sigh..* not something I'm too proud of. I got carried away last night updating blogger. (-__-) It can be too addicting figuring out the html and browsing cute widgets~ Work was slightly boring this past weekend but it was better on Sunday. Sometimes the sales are just so dead, time passes by very slowly. It's a good thing I brought a book but sometimes even that doesn't help because I can't be reading my book for a long stretch of time while lots of people are coming in and out of the shop (it's somewhat rude).. May I make note that even though there can be lots of people if the sales are dead, it still feels like a slow day. (T^T) So it makes sense that I would spend all that remaining brainpower figuring out html coding at 2:00 in the morning ne??? (>.<) I'd better get myself REALLY busy today so I can fall asleep at a more appropriate time. Perhaps I'll be more tired. Can't have this going on w...

This game is so much fun! I can never get enough of Final Fantasy. My brother's awesomeness really shined through this time because he lent me his PSP! :DDDD So nowz I can play all the games I never got to, and of my first victims are FINAL FANTASY VII CRISIS CORE !!! And yess, lots of Final Fantasy bishie power ensues~! I only really like Zach tho. Zach Fair is Love . He's so cute and cool at the same time. I get tired of the emo Final Fantasy guys. Maybe that's why I like Tidus, Sora, and Ventus so much. They're all so happy. ( ^ _ ^ ) I don't think I'm halfway through this one yet so I still get to enjoy the suspense of the game. When I first started playing and saw the battle system, I thought I would be BORED out of my mind but it eventually sucked me in and now I'm addicted-! (o.O) The battle system's a lot like Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (maybe I'll elaborate more in another post, too lazy right now). Really fun game,...

Hooray for the 100th post~! (^0^) I finally got to watching the last installment of the Harry Potter series (The Deathly Hallows Pt2) last night with my dad (and may I add that he was so loud, especially on the quiet parts of the movie, I even had to elbow him and tell him to be quiet... And then he's laugh at inappropriate times, so embarrassing, thank God it was dark). Sorry to say but after viewing it for the first time, I really prefer Pt1. I don't know why, maybe it's because I liked the scenery better or those particular scenes opposed to the 2nd part of the movie. My favorite scenes were the one with the doe patronus and Harry & party running down the streets of London and when they infiltrated the ministry. I'd have to watch the last Hp movie again to give a better review because sometimes when I watch the movie again, I have a better impression of it. The last movie was full of effects and flare. I was trying REALLY hard not to compare it to th...

OMG, So long since I posted AGAIN! lolz, no surprise there. I got back from my trip to Japan and I got my forgotten purse back. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED-! \(^o^)/ Lets rewind back about a month ago to the end of the Singapore trip. I'm sure this probably happens a lot but I forgot an item on the plane and of course it has to be the most important thing I'm carrying; Yes, my purse. I forgot it on a plane in Japan and our connection was too close for me to go back and get it. I basically survived without my purse essentials like my wallet, phone, PSP (well, okay I probably don't need that one..) for roughly a month. There were a couple more expensive items in there like prescription reading glasses and my camera so I'm sooo happy that the Japanese people who found and dealt with my purse were so honest. I have a new respect for their honesty and integrity. We got to the airport, went through customs, and then went to the baggage claim. It was a little wait but ...

We brought back Maxwell Scruffles (I renamed him that as it's close enough to his real name) about a week ago. It was a pretty crazy day actually. The farewell wasn't too dramatic because it was just the father who was at home while the rest of the family was out. I think it may have been more sad for little Maxwell because that was probably the last time he'd see his brother... (;_;) He was very calm in the car. Sometimes I wonder how he feels because he accepts his fate so easily. When we got back, we re-introduced the two doggies in the backyard and Lady was accepting of him yet again. He was also well behaved. Maxwell was the more mellow of the two dogs as his brother didn't like Lady. So we got home, and only an hour later, my dad and sis arrive from their road trip. So yeah, C-R-A-Z-Y family reunion~! We spent a lot of time just getting everyone settled down, including Maxwell, and unpacking. For some reason, he doesn't like men so he was barking...

My bad, I went on yet another month hiatus... Right now, it's raining and very cozy in the house. (^w^) My babycakes is scared of rainy weather, stemmed from her fear of thunder so she's leaning her whole weight against my leg under my desk. Kawaisoooo.. To catch up from what happened this whole time, I got back from my trip to Singapore before the last week of June. It was so hot there, I'd honestly describe the heat as being around 100 times more intense than Hawaii. We sweat a LOT during our trip and the night didn't give us any mercy either. Thank heaven's we had AC in the hotel. Here's the area where we stayed. It looks reminiscent of the Chinatowns in America. Honestly, it was safer than it looks. The teeny tiny bathroom, lol. First time in my life I've ever had this kind of bathing experience... The place we stayed at wasn't exactly the highest rated, lol. Very interesting experience to have the sink, toilet, and shower (if yo...
