Do Re Mi

I decided to try watching this movie on Netflix because the synopsis was so appealing.  A post apocalyptic future where plants and nature are the dominant species?  Hell yes!  Unfortunately for me, this movie did not live up to my expectations. First of all, I gotta say, most of this anime went over my head and I felt it was really boring.  This is mostly because the story, although possessing a rock solid plot, failed to elaborate on the characters' backgrounds and seemed to waste precious screen time on people traveling around.  I had almost no sympathy or feelings at all for most of the characters because I just didn't GET them. The animation is indeed beautiful, reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's elaborately animated settings.  Even the characters' sometimes overly exaggerated expressions reminded me of Miyazaki's films.   Does this scene remind you of any Miyazaki film?  Hint: It stars a red haired girl... I personally did not care much for the chara

As promised, here is my review of the Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream-! ( "^ o ^" ) I was introduced to this BB cream by Etude House themselves.  I stopped by their store in the Namdaemun district of Korea while on vacation and they gave me a sample of this with my purchase. I was quite intrigued by the the SPF qualities this product had and decided to purchase it online. I also want to say that I just L-O-V-E samples because they're so fun to try out!  They can also make some serious sales if the person happens to like it.  I admit to being given certain samples with my purchases and ending up buying the sampled product because I ended up loving it so much.   ( ^.^ ) This BB cream is different from many others because it comes with a sponge applicator; The sponge is attached to the opening of the makeup tube.  It is removable as you can see.   This is what the makeup tube opening looks like with the sponge removed.  Personally, I

I went to see the last installment of the Twilight Series, Breaking Dawn Part 2 just because I had already watched the first three so I'm like, we've gotta watch the last one, just for the hell of it, lol.  I went with mom on this one. And so ironic that in the post just before this one I'm b*tching her out, lmao.  Well, if it sounds that serious, it's not really.  Our personalities are just SO alike, that we often clash with each other.  We get over it fairly quickly. If people look at reviews for the whole Twilight Series, it's often leaning toward the negative which I understand, because there are TONS of Twi-Haters out there.  I think it has something to do with them hating Stephanie Meyer's guts because her writing style sucks with her love for repetitive adjective spamming and they wonder HOW and WHY her books somehow got popular, even getting turned into movies.  I personally don't hold any hatred for Mrs Meyer.  Sure, she's set feminism

I hail from an Asian American family so I'm just saying beforehand, my reasoning may not apply to everyone.  I am the eldest child in my family and as the eldest child, most of the responsibility is pushed onto me in these forms: 1.) Cooking 2.) Cleaning 3.) Helping with basic chores 4.) Expected to know everything or the so called "common knowledge" 5.) Expected to take care of younger siblings 6.) Expected to be the 'role model' 7.) Expected to have all life experiences FIRST just because I'm the eldest I'm also judged maybe 10 times more harshly than any of my siblings if I do something wrong.  A great example happened today.  I had to fix the curtain rack in my room because it was starting to fall off and asked my mother to help me with it.  She ended up taking off everything, even the curtains and I got worried because my mom loves to procrastinate and if I don't push her to help with some task, she tends to leave it unfinished.  So I

I mentioned in my last post that I got a job, finally! ( ^  o ^ ) ~*  I've been with this job for few weeks so far and I've already got most of my opinion about it.  The working pace is fast moving in these higher end department stores so if you work enough, you learn the system quickly. So I won't mention any store names because I'm a private person who doesn't like to give out super personal info.  Get used to it! lol I don't want to get too wordy here.  It's an area of my writing style that I'm trying to improve.  NOTE: I WILL be ranting like crazy on the 'cons' topics so readers beware-! Now for the pros and cons: PROS - Cool co -w orkers (...... At least, most of them are cool, really helpful, and overall fun to work with. xP  Having awesome co -workers c an make ALL the difference in the world.  They make you actu ally ENJOY being at work and even wa nting to stay longer at the end of the day!  lol  At least, in my case, this is
