Anime Food!: Ramen & Curry Rice

Image
Woooo hooooooooooo, my first 'official' Anime food attempt~!!!! I'm super obsessed with anime food because it looks so damn delicious in every anime I watch and it makes me really, really hungry-!  So I decided to re-create these dishes. I've tried doing this in the past and many times, failing at making it look just as delicious...  But!  I'm stepping up my game now so I hope you guys enjoy this series of blogs I'm starting.  Maybe it will get you all inspired to re-create your own anime food! Enjoy~! My first dish that I decided to make is the famous ramen!  I'm sure you all have drooled over this dish in an anime at some point.  I swear, ramen must show up in every other anime. Okay, I know this isn't an 'exact' replica but I'll try harder in the future!  I was rushing on this one and it literally took me only 5 minutes to whip up! ( > ~ <) I really don't like ham (sorry to all you hammie lovers) so I decided to...

My day of grocery shopping

Image
Today started off cloudy and drizzly.  It was nice because I love cool weather.  ^^  I decided to test out my new circle lenses too and they actually were pretty comfortable for the whole day!  I put them on around 1:00 this afternoon and I still have them on right now!  At first I didn't think I could keep them on for more than 4 hours..  Anyway, I don't recommend anyone wearing these babies over 5 hours but yea, I wanted to see how long they could stay on my eyes comfortably.  Alas, a topic for a different post. I decided to do some grocery shopping today because I wanted to re-create some anime dishes that I drooled over the night previously.  xD  I promise I'll post about it later!  I think it would be better suited for another topic. The places I went to were Super Target, the local farmers market, and the local Asian food market. Being the savvy shopper I am (lol), I decided to go to the farthest market first: the Asian food ...

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

Image
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...

Anime crushes!

Image
Have any of you anime watchers ever have an anime crush?  C'mon, don't lie... I know you do! xD Just a warning, this is gonna be a total otaku fangirl-ish post so if that's not your cup of tea, the red ' x ' button is on the top right corner (top left if you're a Mac user). There's a lot of anime guys I admire but not necessarily swoon over.  So to clarify, these are the anime guys that I find hot , more or less.  Sorry if this is super nerdy and crazy but that's how I felt about these dudes when I first saw them and still kinda do today. (ノ≧∀≦)ノ The first guy is really special because I was this young girl watching her first anime series ever and I have never obsessed over an anime character as much as I obsessed over him.  Just picture this, here's this little teen girl who, instead of fawning over the latest boy band, is instead is obsessing over an anime guy.  xD . . . . . . . . . . . ...

Quickie update: Pending blogs

Image
Hi guys!  Sorry I haven't dropped in for so long.  I've been somewhat busy with work and just getting over my day of corporate slavery (sorry for the previous long emo rant btw, lol). Nothing new going on yet.  I've been downloading a lot of new anime series to go through so look forward to some reviews!  I'm currently re -watching FMA Brotherhood just because it's so amazing no matter how many times I watch it. Today was okay.  I switched shifts with a coworker yesterday so I could get a longer shift today (yay me for assertiveness!).  It was quite unexpected but I needed more hours anyway.  Speaking of work, omg, I've still been applying online and nothing has come up yet...  Why???!!!!!  xP We had a large shipment of products today so I was unpacking a lot of jewelry/accessory items.  It's pretty fun at first but after a while, you start to wonder why the people doing the packing don't just put everything in one big bag and make...

Corporate slave

Here I am in my cozy room sipping some fruit punch soda (it's really refreshing btw ^^).  It's still drizzling outside.  I guess monsoon season has officially started because I've noticed the steady increase in rainfall.  Not that I'm complaining.  ;)  I really love the rain.  It's like all of the crap from earlier never happened.  As I left from work, the weather mocked me with its cool, steady drops of rain and the sun giving its last farewell for the day, peaking through the clouds.  I even saw a double rainbow! Today, I was literally the definition of a corporate slave.  Below is Urban Dictionary's definition: "1. corporate slave   The people who make the business world go round and round, without them executives might actually have to do something besides make rules to make it more difficult for the slaves under them to do their job. Corporate slaves are easily identifiable by the vacant look in their eyes a...

Liebster nomination!

Image
Helloooou!  I recently got, tagged? by Nyanette for the Liebster Award nomination! So, I don't know many bloggers and I'm too lazy to make up good questions, forgive me! Dx With that said, I won't be tagging/nominating anyone. But I'll be more than happy to answer the questions! (^__^) 1. Who is your style icon/hero (if you have one)? My favorite hero has to be Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II. He's been through so much cr*p, being called a nobody (how sh*tty is that?) and that his only purpose is to help recover the memories of a guy he's never even met.  He was also born into the world with no idea of who he was and when he finally found a place where he thought he belonged, had to find out that he joined some weird cult and also lost a great friend. To put the icing on the cake, at the very end of his journey, he found out that he would eventually have to (in a way) end his life to complete Sora's memories.  He was in this situation where ...

I LOVE thrift stores!!!

Image
Hello again~!  I procrastinated on this blog for about a week so when I talk about it, just keep in mind that this happened about a week ago.  ;) *Flashback to one week ago...* Today was pretty hot but I braved the weather and drove out anyway in my car without AC. XD It was somewhat torturous because I got lost and drove around in circles for almost an hour trying to find the damn place. lol The reason I wanted to go out today is because I was in dire need of a new black cardigan for work.  I didn't want to go spending the average $10 for a cardigan though so instead of going to the mall, I thought, "Hey!  Why not go to a thift store?" So off I drove.  First I dropped off my sister and I decided to take her all the way to her workplace because I 'thought' it would be on the way to the nearest Goodwill.  I was wrong hence me driving in circles.  Dx But I finally made it there after my memory decided to kick in and I was determined to find so...

Life lessons

Image
I went on a refreshing walk this evening and it made me think about things I've learned throughout my life.  I was so happy that it was breezy because it kept the evil mosquitoes at bay.  Unfortunately I didn't get to see the stars but I did see some beautiful silhouettes of clouds.. 1. If you want something done, don't expect people to come to you.  You have to go to to them. 2. You can influence people but you can't control their actions, values, or beliefs. 3. Complaining won't get you anywhere.  It's better to think of solutions to your problems. 4. What matters isn't what other people think of you; only you know your true self and no one can take that away from you. 5. You have the power to become who you want to be, you just have to be willing to put in the effort.
