Update April 2013

-
And again I procrastinate horribly...  I try to make it a goal to blog every week but it's hard for me since I can never be consistently motivated.  ╮(─▽─)╭

So what have I been up to for these past few weeks?

Where to start..  The first week, I was working on updating my blog layout, moving things here and there, changing up the background, updating the header picture, and just organizing categories and labels for all my posts.
I also still have my pathophys class that should be over in only a few weeks~!tuzki13

I'm mostly working extra this week (gotta save up the cash moneys), and waiting for my two orders in the mail.  I recently purchased some products from RoseRoseShop because they have awesome prices on their Korean cosmetics.  It's only taking forever to get here though...
I also ordered a shorter peacoat and that's taking forever to get here as well.  *Sigh* this is the price I pay for cheaper costs...

When I finally get the my orders in the mail, I'll be sure to blog about it with product reviews and such because there were a lot of neat items such as serum sunscreen and lip tints that I've never purchased before so I'm super excited!  :D

I've still been watching K-dramas; my craving for them has not gone away.  So many new dramas are coming out and I can never keep up!  I even found out that Full House was re-made with new actors.  I'm not too sure about watching it though because the character's hairstyles are so outrageous (I might not be able to take it) and the girl looks too much like an ajumma with her Asian-Afro.

Now I know you're probably thinking I'm being shallow but seriously, watch this trailer and tell me then what you think:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9KhgXJT2Fs

Here's a few of the dramas I've been watching these days:

The Innocent Man (Nice Guy)

This is a melodrama and doesn't really have much comedy but it's really awesome if you like watching dramas about love, betrayal, and revenge.

The story is about this guy who was in love with this girl but she accidentally murdered a man and agreed to let her guy friend take the fall for her.  He lost almost everything and eventually finds out that she was a gold digging whore who married into a wealthy family.  He then decides to take revenge on her by pursuing her stepdaughter.


 Full House

I'm actually re-watching this drama with my sis because she has never seen this timeless classic.  I recall watching this a while back, it must have been over 4 years now and it still hasn't gotten old.

I can still laugh at 'Miss Wonderbra' (lady on the left) as she has the strangest preference of showing off her pushup bra in almost every outfit she wears, even the one in the pic above! tuzki65

As for the story, it's about this girl who's friends trick her into going off on a trip to China only to sell off her house and take all her money (yea, like this could actually happen in real life? lol)

She eventually finds out that a popular movie star has purchased her house and  she vows to get it back, even signing a fake marriage contract with the actor.  This drama super cute, has a ton of sweet moments, and is a pioneer in the cohabitation drama genre.

*Available on Netflix*

Stars Falling from the Sky

This is another drama that I'm re-watching after seeing it on Netflix.  I still find it insanely adorable, especially with all the kids involved.

This drama is about a spoiled girl who only seems to care for herself and her needs.  She has had a mad crush on this lawyer for years but can never get his attention.  Her parents somehow die in a freak car accident, leaving her to care for her 5 siblings.  She somehow gets a job working in the lawyer's house and sneaks her siblings in with her.

Once again, this is under the popular genre of a cohabitation drama where the girl lives with the guy.

*Available on Netflix*

Moving on to cartoons/anime, I have been watching...

I have officially jumped onto the Adventure Time bandwagon.

The show is hilarious and I love it.  I've almost caught up to the current episode that's most recently aired after my Adventure time marathon for the past few days.  I would watch this show non-stop for at least a few hours/day.

The only anime I've been sticking to right now is called Xam'd: Lost Memories (available on Netflix) and it's produced by Aniplex and Bones.


It's a cool story with amazing animation; it's like a mix of a Miyazaki movie and FMA Brotherhood.  It's a real treat to watch and the story is intriguing and mysterious.

I don't have much more to say, sorry... tuzki61  I guess my life isn't all that eventful right now; it's mostly routine stuff.  

Hopefully I should be writing another post soon for my haul from RoseRoseShop!

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...
