After 3 years, another international trip!

-
My last trip out of the country, I believe, was to Japan in 2008. I was greatly blessed to be able to go to Osaka, Nara, Kobe, and Kyoto. It was a very fun and enlightening trip and I was so happy to be able to experience the Japanese culture in so many different cities on one trip. (^^)

On this next escapade, we'll be going to be to Singapore!!! It's so amazing because this is going to be the farthest destination I'll ever be traveling in my life! (*o*)

Once we get back, if you think the adventure is over, you're wrong. There's a brand-new one waiting for us when we get back; We'll be adopting the new doggie at the end of June. I've given him a new name, Duo Maxwell 'Scruffles' (my homage to Gundam Wing). xD The name is somewhat close to his old name so I think he'll catch on. We've given our own doggie only a million nicknames which she goes by so I think it'll work for him. ;P I feel like giving him a new name is appropriate because he's jumping into a completely new life. Might as well give him a fresh start with a new name.

I feel very grateful and appreciative to the fact that I have this opportunity to even travel. I know it's really expensive and not everyone has the money and/or time to do it.

I'll hopefully be able to recharge my camera so I can take some vlogs and pictures of this beautiful country. I hear that Singapore is one of the cleanest places in the world. Mom keeps telling my that chewing gum is against the law there so I can't bring gum, lol. That's okay though since I'm not much of a gum chewer anyway. I like my hard candy. (^.^)

Thank you so much mom and dad for giving me this opportunity to travel to another country~! (^w^)

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

-
Image
Hello again!  My apologies for taking so long to make another 'Anime Food' post.  Enjoy! During my childhood days of watching Pokemon, I would often see Brock cooking this white stew thing.  It would look so yummy but I had no idea what it was..  And even though my entire family and extended family was Japanese, none of them ever made something like this.  (T__T)  The closest thing I got was corn chowder. Only recently did I discover that it's called cream stew and luckily, it's quite the easy recipe. ^^ I remember the very first time I made this.  I used a cream stew mix pack from the store (the one that has the blocks that you melt in the pot).  That turned out pretty bad so I highly recommend people make this one from scratch.  It's really does taste so much better this way.  I'm lazy so instead of having the pretty diced pieces of carrot, I threw in some baby carrots.  XD Close up ;3 I found this recipe ...

Why does Lightning look so different in FFXIII Lightning Returns? [SPOILERS-!]

-

I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair...

I dyed my hurr!: Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color, Milk Tea Brown

-

Don't make fun of my fingers, I already know they're short and fat! lol My hair is really stubborn.  No matter what hair dye I use to lighten it, the results are almost always the same.  Even when my hair is already lightened, it somehow still manages to retain that same coppery brown color... In this case, I seemed to have gotten the 'generic' result for "Dark color hair..." I dyed my virgin Asian black/dark brown hair and here are the results:   Window lighting. (Somehow this always alters the color)  Indirect daylight lighting  Bathroom lighting Box color to actual hair comparison in low light.  Seems like it was right after all.  xP On an everyday basis, my hair color looks like a cross between window lighting and indirect daylight lighting. I was honestly freaked out at first because my hair initially looked like it was slightly bleached orange.  But after a few days, it darkened down to what i...
