Summer heat

-
I would describe myself as a flower. I wither in the heat and cold. And this summer has been relentlessly hot. Too hot to go for a leisurely stroll outside.

Temperatures regularly soar up and above 90 degrees almost everyday. We haven't had the forgiving rainstorms in the afternoons to dampen the heat either. It makes me worry about what global warming is doing.

So I've been spending a ridiculous amount of time doing the Netflix and chill thing. Except with less Netflix and more streaming on the internet. I've almost finished both seasons of The Flash and this is within a few weeks time. (That's fast for me, no pun intended).

I just don't want to go shopping all the damn time and besides the movies and a gross, crowded pool, there really isn't much to do besides watching TV or browsing the net.

I also want to avoid skin damage at and avoid the heat. I had enough of that in Seoul. We were walking around outside in the peak heat of the day regularly.

People around might hate on me for this but I decided not to go with my dad back to Hawaii. I got really sick on the flight back to our city from San Francisco and I'm having this sick feeling thinking about getting back on a stuffy plane to Hawaii. I honestly think I'll push myself over the edge and get sick if I get on that flight. I'm sorry toward my cousin because I was supposed to go to her graduation, but I just don't think I can do this after only a couple of weeks after traveling to Seoul. It's obviously way more boring but I'm staying home for this trip. 

I'll post about the Seoul trip later. It's so damn hot right now.

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
