Do Re Mi

Today I'd like to talk about a big fashion blunder I made yesterday. You know you've made a fashion blunder when you see yourself in a nearby mirror and realize how BAD you look. That was me yesterday at the mall.  I decided to go after work and I decided to wear a T-shirt under my work shirt.  I also wore a light knit cardigan over my T-shirt.  But this is not the worst part. To top it off, I was wearing tight black jeans/jeggings and old sneakers.   Yes... sneakers. ( > ~ < ) I'm a short person.  My legs aren't that long and so I need to be careful of what I wear. Even if a person isn't that short, depending on if their proportions are such that their upper body or lower body are longer or shorter than the other, they'll need to compensate. What I mean is that if you wear something top heavy, you'll probably want to wear something tight or slimming for your lower body.  And vice verse. I'll be real here, my old sneakers are ugly...

Space Dandy One of my coworkers convinced me to try out this anime and it's the most f*cking hilarious thing I've ever seen. Space Dandy is unique in the sense that it doesn't follow a plot and goes in whatever direction it sees fit.  The characters even die in some episodes, only magically coming back to life in new ones.  It's also playful and experimental in its art and animation styles and explores various concepts and topics.   Sailor Moon Crystal I'm not sure how I found out about this reboot but since Sailor Moon is so popular, I would have found out some way or another. I've only watched a few episodes and I'm excited to see where the story goes once all the scouts are introduced.  The animation style also seems to be loyal to the manga art style. Free! Eternal Summer Watched the first anime, and I'm really happy the second didn't take too long to be released. I'm glad Rin got a much needed attitude adjustment.  He...

Here's my long awaited pictures from my family visit back to sunny HI~!  I had lots of fun on this trip and re-visited many places. Pretty red ginger that's forever growing near grandma's apartment. Bird of Paradise  Shirokiya is a really popular Japanese store in Ala Moana shopping mall.  It's been there since Ala Moana opened in 1959! I was surprised at how different Shirokiya was when I visited with grams and my auntie.  It's been maybe 5-8 years since I've been there.   It seems like they have less stuff like books and magazines and opted for having lots of food and beauty items instead. All the food is on the upper level.  It's set up quite similarly to Japan with various cubic-like spaces for each seller resulting in a sort of food maze.   You'll find bento's galore up here.   Lower level.  They set up a pretty seating area.  Downstairs you'll find a couple of bakeries and other various i...

Today I decided to go see the movie "Lucy" after work with sis. After meeting incentives for my job, me and other coworkers on our team all got gift cards and one of them was for the local theater. ^^ "Lucy" is about an American woman studying in Taiwan who gets thrown into a drug trafficking deal.  She's knocked out and wakes up on a hotel bed to find out she's been turned into a 'drug mule' that's assigned to transport drugs to Europe. Under unknown circumstances she becomes held captive by Taiwanese thugs, gets abused and kicked in the abdomen, and that causes the bag of drugs to break and wreak havoc in her system.  Eventually, she finds that the drug somehow gave her superhuman control over her brain. The movie was really entertaining and I was always anticipating what she would do next as her ability to control her brain increased. In the beginning of the movie, I took note of how the scenes would switch between 'Discovery...
