It's spring again!

Hello, hello!

Today was okay.  I finally got through my three days with that one coworker...  If you've read previous posts, you've already seen all my complaining, discussion about that micromanaging, condescending, crazy person I work with 85% of the time.

Anyhow, I'm happy since the weather has been getting so much nicer.  The pretty pink flowers in our tree are finally in bloom.



There's nothing like taking a walk and then all of a sudden, see a beautiful pink blossomed tree.  I feel so special since our house is the only house with a pink blossom tree like this. x3  It almost looks like a real Sakura tree...

I've started to get into self-help books such as this one:


This is a book I found in our basement while we were cleaning out stuff for donation.  I decided to keep it and I'm glad I did.  It gives some really great advice and I feel like I'm on my way to becoming a wise, young sage.. lol

I might quote some stuff from this book, depending on how inspired I get from it.  My uncle actually gave us this book a long time ago.  After I finish reading it, I'll probably write a letter and thank him.  It's truly helped me a lot.

Today, after work, I went to the local corner store and bought some Bio Oil.  It's originally about $19.99 but I got it on sale for $14.99.  It's used to fade scars and improve the skin.


Summer is right around the corner and I'm already starting to wear my shorts and skirts.  I have some scarring on my legs from razor cuts so I'm gonna see how this baby performs. ;D  I may also use it on an acne scar I got from a recent, evil pimple. 

Lots of people rave about this product so we shall see how good it really is!  I'll take a picture of the scar on my leg and track it's progress.  This may be interesting.

My mom is such a lucky duck.  She flew Maui today and is gonna chillax and party with my grandma and aunty in paradise. ( "> ^ <";; )  I'm so jellies!

I told her to take pictures so if I get some nice scenic shots from her, I'll be sure to post them.  Who doesn't want to look at gorgeous island scenery?  

Nighty-night-!  おやすみなさい！：３

Aww yes, blooming trees are so beautiful. :) That's why I love spring. There's a cherry tree in the garden of my parent's house and I absolutely love seeing it bloom every year.

That books sounds interesting to me. I'm gonna try to lay my hands on a copy of it. :) At work we're currently a lot into business related motivation books. At first I thought they all were kinda guru-ish but actually I liked reading them. There's still so much to learn about life and I think they really give some good advices. x)

Let me know if that bio oil works and your mother is so lucky. xD

@lovepirate, Yes and the fragrance in the air! It's so nice! ^^

Yeah, the book is pretty good. It seems a little redundant at times but I still enjoy reading it a chapter at a time.

I'll definitely make a post about it if I get some good results. Hopefully it works well. xD

I know, I hope I can go back to Hawaii soon!

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...
