Do Re Mi

I've started this thing called a diet. And this thing called cardio. And this thing called pilates. I know this is quite strange for me because I'm one to shun away from any kind of exercise and opt for eating less. So what inspired me to lose weight?  Well, after a while of seeing all these Asian celebrities and Kpop idols being so slim, I thought, "hey!  I want to be skinny too!" And that's my shallow reason for wanting to lose weight. But don't get me wrong, I don't believe in starving myself to death.  I want to become slimmer, but a healthy slim, not the anorexic kind. At first when I started weighing myself, it looked like I suddenly lost 2kg, but then I realized that I was probably just bloated and it was all water weight. haha It's been a blast though.  After downloading the 'myfitnesspal' app, I've put in my goal of losing 5kg. The myfitnesspal is quite useful because it spans out the calories so a person isn...

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...

Today was one of those busy days where everything factored in made me really tired. So, I decided to give myself a cookie! I went to the Asian market near my workplace after my shift and bought all kinds of goodies. :D I was too lazy to take pictures of everything but it mostly consisted of yanyans, senbei, ramen, milk tea, nori flakes, and cabbage buns. ^^  This potato snack was quite tasty.  I always see things flavored on potato but never the other way around. I think that if a person works really hard, they should reward themselves by treating themselves to something nice.  It doesn't have to be anything expensive, it could be something as simple as an ice cream cone.  It's just that (in my case at least), there are times where I'm so hard on myself and work too much and never play.  It can really bring me down..  But there's no better mood-lifter than giving oneself a 'cookie' for a good job! ( ^ . ^ ) / My cookie today was a mini snack sh...
