Bumming in the basement

-
Great news!  The guys have finally started our flooring after the whole one month wait resulting from shitty scheduling, yay!!! :DDDD

We were originally supposed to get the flooring done in mid July but that got cancelled and we were rescheduled one month later, after we already moved our bedding and stuff into the basement.

So during that fine time in July, I spent most of it in..... wait for it................... the basement.  (-__-)  I would sometimes crawl back to my empty bedroom and hang out in there since I missed it, boohoo. (T~T )  There were some perks to the basement though as I've said in the previous post, it's a lot cooler down here, temperature-wise.

Now everyone really is "one big happy family" because we're all sleeping down here... well, more like living down here.  We can't exactly do much upstairs while the flooring guys are hammering and sanding away.

Here's something you'll probably find funny.  Wanna know how I've been enduring my confinement to the basement these days?
I've been sleeping till between 10am-2pm and only creeping out of here after the guys leave at 3pm, lol.  So basically, I've become the most hermit-like ever in my life.

  
"LET ME LEAVE THE BASEMEEEEEEEEEENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kermit, Hermit,............ close enough. xP

I can't complain too much though.  We have internet so I'll survive.  But get this, the internet router decided to crap out on us right before the flooring guys were going to start their job.  So we had to survive around 4 days down here without any wondrous internet amusement until the new router came in the mail.  That I must say, sucked balls.  (o_O)

But when I would go upstairs each day to see their work, the floor looks really nice!  They've finally reached our bedrooms now and it's a cool, novelty kind of feeling.  I feel like it's more of a difference to me seeing the wooden flooring in the bedrooms more so than in the living rooms because I've become so accustomed to having only carpet in bedrooms.............  Sad.
But now I can finally live my Japanese bedroom dream!!! x3  I've always been so envious of seeing Japanese houses with their beautiful wooden flooring.  I find it truly amazing that we actually have that privilege now.
I'm so grateful-! (^_____________^) 




Recently sis got a second job (I swear that girl is a workaholic) and is busy with that so I don't see her too often.  Not that I care too much.  Lately she's been really absorbed in her smartphone so even if she were home, I'd probably just find her lying around somewhere with it.  Our parents are really happy about it since she used to bum around the house during her free time, lol.

I think it's good that she keeps herself busy with jobs.  I don't think I'm like her in that respect.  I LIKE my free time.  It lets me research and organize, find new things to cook, BLOG, or just stuff I can improve on through hobbies. Luvin' the hobbies.  I'd probably make the perfect housewife, no joke.

When we finally got the internet back and running, I went on a mini K-drama craze and watched a little more than a few episodes of K-dramas like Big and Ojakgyo Brothers, respectfully.  Especially Ojakgyo Brothers.  


This show is SUPERB!  I love it so much with all it's family dynamic glory.  (*__*)  The pacing, storyline, relationships, everything, I can only say perfect.

I've also been on instagram a bit more than I thought I would.  I mostly post pics of food though.  nom nom nom!
Maybe the whole instagram addiction is resulted from not having internet for so long and I had to use what little data I had left on the phone.  Somehow instagram kept me pretty occupied editing pics, looking at pics, etc...

Speaking of apps, my bro got me kinda-sorta addicted to this cellphone game called Rage of Bahamut so I played a bit of that.  I also used my manga app a lot because I LOOOOOOOOOOVE manga and that didn't take up nearly as much data as Rage of Bahamut.  I actually suck at that game, gotta trade for better cards.  I've just been quest spamming. lol   While I still had some internet data on my phone, I used it for Netflix and was watching K-drama, Secret Garden.  That show is pretty damn good if you like a more mature, slightly comedic drama.
I pulled out my trusty Nintendo DS (I knew I would need that again someday!) during the last few internet-less days to play some Pokemon White.  I really wanna figure out how to connect that to the wifi. 

Oh yes, and I finally finished watching season 2 of Game of Thrones (thanks to my bro for helping me the video files).  I swear that show is just so amazing, I can't explain how great it is to me in words!........... and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is a sexy beast. 

 I have a weakness for pretty English guys

Of course I had to finish off the season BEFORE I needed it most (during my boring, no-internet time downstairs)..  Well, when all else fails, your smartphone will be there for you during internet hardship.

When I think back, during this summer I was seriously considering visiting England on my own.  That plan never really came into effect though mostly because when I think about how much it would cost........... I just can't do it...  (u__u);; 
It might also be because our family already has a few trips coming up in a few months and I wanna save my money for those.  Ahhh, choices, choices.

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

-

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...
