My computer-less life so far

-
My computer is still down and I'm currently using a laptop in the living room.  It's not really the same though..

Today I went out shopping for a plastic drawer thing to put my clothes in.  I've had this cardboard makeshift dresser shelf thing for the longest time and I've finally graduated from it after all these years!  I'll post a pic later since I don't have the luxury of my computer yet. xP

I also found some clothes at Ross and I'm contemplating on whether I should go to the mall and look for clothes there.  I don't like to admit it but the mall really does have some of the best deals, even better than Ross.  I just hate having to run into all the kiosks there with the aggressive salespeople.

Vegetable pastas are something I've recently gotten into and I'm still trying to find a good recipe.  I'm not that great with dishes that don't contain meat unless it's ramen/soumen so creating this pasta is much more challenging.

While I was at our local farmer's market, I scoured the produce aisles in search of some good vegetables to go with pasta.  After experimenting, I've found that most vegetables will go well with pasta, but it's best to keep it simple and choose a few types of veggies so the taste of the dish doesn't get too overwhelming.  I've also found that the most important aspect of pasta is its sauce.  I didn't realize how important that was (here I was thinking that all I would have to do is pour some olive oil on it, lol).

 
My dream is to make Japanese mentaiko pasta..  I just have to find a store that sells fish roe.

That's about all I've been up to so far. I've started a new drama on Netflix called My Fair Lady and it's really funny.  It's about this poor guy who has a run-in with this vicious rich lady and through a slew of events, becomes her personal butler.  I was in serious need of a pick-me-up drama after the depressing/bittersweet ending of 49 Days.  I'm also happy because it casts the lead actor, Yoon Sang Hyun who I absolutely adored in Secret Garden.  He's one of the funniest actors I've seen in k-dramas.

Somehow I feel so lost and unorganized without my computer... ( T A T )

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...
