Just a simple day

-

Hello again! Where to start... Hope you all have been doing well. As for me... to put it simply, I ended my relationship. My 3 year relationship. Almost the entire time I was away from this blog, I was in Texas. I moved there to be with my then boyfriend and the relationship didn't work out. So I moved back to Colorado. I will save that story for another day. For now, I will talk about how this day went. 

I woke up kind of late. It's a little sad saying this but sometimes I feel my dreams are more interesting than reality, so I choose to stay dreaming..😴 I don't recall exactly how the dream went but I was with a group of friends exploring these underwater caves, except we could breathe underwater. And I recall we came to the end of the cave maze and I helped to push open this stone slab blocking the exit, and outside, there were these Greek looking people and we were hiding from them so we went back in the cave and closed the slab stone door. 

My mom flew back to Hawaii today to take back my grandma's ashes; without her here, I didn't feel as motivated..😅 Well anyway, I got up, ate my breakfast, and renewed my RN license. Better to do that before I start my job. If you are a nurse, you will find that it's so easy to find a job once you get a couple years of experience, as long as the job is close to your specialty.

I then went to the nearby Famous Footwear to get these moccasin-like shoes that I had been eyeing yesterday. Luckily, they had the exact size, color, and style I wanted so I bought the shoes, even though the sales associate was kind of rude... 

Do you ever have those moments where you walk into a dead ass store and don't get greeted or acknowledged in any way? Yes, this experience is a dime a dozen.. but hear me out. So after I entered the store and was looking at the shoes, she walked by where I was standing, stopped, made direct eye contact with me, and even after I smiled AND nodded at her, she simply turned and walked away as if I didn't exist whilst texting on her phone! 😷 I don't think she was shy as she greeted other people who walked into the store. 

I would usually be more bothered by this in the past but nowadays, I realize that this is a reflection of that person's character and has nothing to do with me. I know I am polite and treat others with respect; just because someone doesn't return that respect, doesn't mean there is something wrong with me. This is one of the most difficult things to realize as a human being, in my opinion. To react to rude behavior with neutrality instead of anger and frustration. 

But hey, I got my shoes! 😎👟 And I'm very happy with them. 

Now that I'm back home, I'm just getting ready for the trip to Wyoming with my dad. I hope we have a nice experience there and I'm excited to explore a new city!

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
