Mid break crisis

-
I'm about halfway through my winter break and having what I like to call a 'mid break crisis'.

It starts off with me on my computer when I sneak a glance at my calendar. Seeing the inevitable doomsday of classes starting just a couple weeks away, it hits me. Have I been productive with my time? Omg, I haven't! D: D: D: I mean, I started off okay but then Aunty flew in on Christmas to visit so uh, preoccupied with humoring her.... What else do I really want to do before I go back to hell...school?!

I know a break is a time to relax, but I always seem to worry about relaxing too much and not spending any time with supplemental study and actual productivity. The curse of being an adult I suppose.

Like the freak I am, I've been logging down all the movies, TV shows, manga, anime, and books I've been reading, watching, you name it. It most likely stems from my desire to make the most of my free time.

Looks like I've rewatched 6 movies. I really need to find new things to watch. (-__-) First world problems anyone?

Aunty flew back to Honolulu yesterday so I was in a short period (approx. 1 day) of mourning. We don't have any extended family living nearby so I always treasure the time I have with relatives who visit. During my period of said mourning, I baked cookies and laid around watching movies or playing on my phone. A very sad time indeed, but at least my family got some chocolate chip cookies out of it. I'm happy to say that I baked a whole bunch of Chinese almond and chocolate chip cookies for my Aunty to take back home with her. She loves homemade cookies.

I didn't have much time to grieve the 'departure' of my dear Aunty because the very next day, my mom's friend's two little doggies came over and we'll be dog-sitting them for the next 10 days. It's okay though. They're both cute and easy to care for because they're so small. ^^

Tomorrow I'll be taking Grams to the library to get some books. Finally, a sense of purpose in my life.

I've got to do a purge, cleanse... whatever you want to call it. My diet has been shit for the past couple of weeks, largely due to 'vacation-mode host syndrome' where you have a guest in your home and always aim to please by ordering takeout or eating out or cooking delicious & not so healthy foods practically every day.

That means lots of green tea, kale, and fruits for me.

My idea of healthy

I think I'll probably start a study regimen of doing some NCLEX practice questions. I tried doing the Nursing Quiz Up game but I always seem to get sidetracked and play quizzes on non-study material *cough* Memes *cough*.

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

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

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 on Little Japan Mama's rec

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt 1 & 2

Hooray for the 100th post~! (^0^) I finally got to watching the last installment of the Harry Potter series (The Deathly Hallows Pt2) last night with my dad (and may I add that he was so loud, especially on the quiet parts of the movie, I even had to elbow him and tell him to be quiet... And then he's laugh at inappropriate times, so embarrassing, thank God it was dark). Sorry to say but after viewing it for the first time, I really prefer Pt1. I don't know why, maybe it's because I liked the scenery better or those particular scenes opposed to the 2nd part of the movie. My favorite scenes were the one with the doe patronus and Harry & party running down the streets of London and when they infiltrated the ministry. I'd have to watch the last Hp movie again to give a better review because sometimes when I watch the movie again, I have a better impression of it. The last movie was full of effects and flare. I was trying REALLY hard not to compare it to th
