Fixing up my roooom!

-
Wooooohooooooooo!!! I finally rearranged the furniture in my room-! I'm super happy with the arrangement.


My room seems to have so much more space in it. It's amazing what moving just a few things can do! Maybe now I can fit a low table in the center. I've been thinking of doing that just so I can enjoy a cup of tea in the comfort of my own room with the cool summer breeze blowing through the window.... And maybe work on school stuff xP. I'll have to find a table that would fit but that's a project for later.

Can you see the middle space? It's so amazing, I don't remember having so much space in the middle of my room before!

I worked with my mom a couple of nights back on my blanket cover. I'm so happy with it. I wanted the cover to have white on one side and some other color/print on the other. It worked out just like I wanted which is awesome because we don't always get our way in life. So when we do, it's an amazing feeling. x3
It was nice working on a project with my mom. Many kids these days have to learn that you can gain so much knowledge by simply listening to your parents and elders. I learned a bit more about sewing from my mom that night. I think sewing is a great skill to have later in life just in case I rip some clothes or need to hem stuff. And then I can make covers for pillows and blankets. :D I also learned about how much work and effort it takes to make one blanket cover. I was exhausted after we finished and crashed out on my bed soon after.

I also shopped at Sears for the first time and surprisingly, I really liked a lot of their clothing selection. Now my closet doesn't seem so empty anymore. I remember looking at a previous post and I was showing a picture of how I organized my closet. Omg, the closet was so sparse, so embarrassing! In the past, I would always have the problem of not having enough clothes for work or school. Now I never have that issue. Thank my lucky stars I found a good place to get affordable clothes. Sears has a lot of good sales. The only thing is that so many of their clothes seem like they're for skinny people because a medium size for certain things is really small. Don't matter to me though since I'm trying to lose more weight anyway and their clothes fit me alright since I'm small to begin with I guess..

Speaking of clothes, I've also been buying from yesstyle. I usually get jackets from their site because their stuff is TAKAI. Especially for a simple blouse where you can get it so much cheaper at Ross or even secondhand at a thrift store. I'm trying to be more resourceful and economical with clothes these days and get whatever I can in clothes from thrift stores. I do have certain things where I draw that line though. For example, I won't buy underwear, socks, or shoes from thrift stores. Sorry, I just can't do that.. But I don't think I've ever seen underwear sold at a thrift store anyway. Perhaps no one wants to buy underwear at thrift stores so they don't sell them. lol It's pretty nasty if you think about it.

Below is a couple jackets I've bought from yesstyle. I get my jackets from there because I can never seem to find a cool jacket like theirs anywhere else where I live. Jackets are my new clothing obsession. ^^

[will post picture later]

Last but not least, some cutesy stuff at the head of my bed.


Don't you just love how Rilakkuma makes you wanna sit on your ass and do nothing all day? lol

My pillowpet dust collector (and I say that in the most endearing way possible) can 'borrow' my glasses while I sleep and look so intelligent. o-o

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

-
Image
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

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

I dyed my hurr!: Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color, Milk Tea Brown

Don't make fun of my fingers, I already know they're short and fat! lol My hair is really stubborn.  No matter what hair dye I use to lighten it, the results are almost always the same.  Even when my hair is already lightened, it somehow still manages to retain that same coppery brown color... In this case, I seemed to have gotten the 'generic' result for "Dark color hair..." I dyed my virgin Asian black/dark brown hair and here are the results:   Window lighting. (Somehow this always alters the color)  Indirect daylight lighting  Bathroom lighting Box color to actual hair comparison in low light.  Seems like it was right after all.  xP On an everyday basis, my hair color looks like a cross between window lighting and indirect daylight lighting. I was honestly freaked out at first because my hair initially looked like it was slightly bleached orange.  But after a few days, it darkened down to what is is now.  I
