Overcast day, pinwheels, and flowers

Image
Here are the cute pinwheels that we got from a dollar store. They make cute little spinning sounds in the wind.. Why is it that I always post so late and miss out on some great blogger writings? Errg.... -__- To sum up what I missed, my Spring Break didn't amount to much, unfortunately.. I ended up NOT going to that Red Riding Hood movie since I was advised not to. People were saying that it was really bad. I went online too and the reviews were not so great, the negativity towards that movie was too much so I decided against it. I'm gonna wait for the movie to come out on DVD for this one. So sad, I was so looking forward to seeing another movie in theatres again... Oh well, there's always Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and Hp7 pt2 to look forward to~! ^^ I took a few pictures of the rainy day we were having around Wednesday or Thursday. A little Spring Rain but no snow storm this year... Very odd.. u.u For this picture, I really HAD to photoshop the col...

Things to look forward to: March 2011

Image
I think having something to look forward to is so important in everyday life. It drives us to move on and accomplish things that we could never do without some kind of positive energy. So, here's a few things that I'm personally looking forward to: I completely understand if people make comparisons with this movie and Twilight. I mean, who wouldn't? Same director, similar concept, same fantasy element, blah blah blah... However, I'm willing to give this movie a chance and am looking forward to seeing this during my Spring Break~! ^o^ It looks like there will probably be a much, much better storyline compared to Twilight as this movie's based off a popular fairy tale. The scenery also looked breathtaking after getting a few glimpses from the trailer. I can't wait. And Red Riding Hood's long flowing red cloak, *sigh*, beautiful... It really made me want to get a red cloak of my own! I'm so excited since it's been a while since I've ...

Lots and lots of Fooooood!!!

Image
Soo, it's been long yet again and I always take pictures planning on writing something with them but then I slack off and end up with a lot of pics that I could possibly post. A couple of my relatives came to visit recently and it was really nice. It makes me a bit sad that they couldn't stay longer. I do miss the feeling of having extended family around. My grandma left some of this cooking powder so I could use it to make quick and easy dishes. The first one I made was the Chinese fried rice. The packet... Some prep items... Mixing chicken with the powder... And the final masterpiece! LOL, looks like what I could buy from Panda Express but it tastes so much bettah! >V< I gave this to my dog.., JUST KIDDING! ohohoho I put a lot of sesame oil in the rice so I don't really know what the powder tastes like. -.- You know, when you put a lot of sesame oil in something, that flavor can really overpower everything else if you put just a little bit. ...

Cake Pops!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I'm finally finished with this semester of school!!! So excited! I made cake pops with my mom last night and it was pretty fun but somewhat hard work with the chocolate dipping. -.- We had to keep re filling the chocolate dip supply and reheating it. That stuff cools off fast after dipping! (I know, big deal right? But mind you, we were doing this at like 11 at night and I was up since 6.) Lots of work but it was fun because it was like working in a candy shop making pretty chocolates. ^^ At the very end, we would glaze contrasting colored chocolate over the cake pops so they looked just like the chocolate factory sweets! And, funny thing is, I came to work today and my manager showed me this huge box of See's chocolates and said someone left it for us so we can all eat it. O_O They're gonna make me so faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat... I'm ...

Funny how life can get so busy in mere seconds

It's almost the end of the semester and I'm so happy since I'll be over with these classes that I've been sticking it out with (since I had changed my major a couple months back). But now, I have to focus on getting a 'career' entry job which will take me some time. Finding a job is a job in itself... -__- I'll probably have to focus on financial aid too so that kind of sucks. I like to pay off my debts at the moment. I'm sure many people hate the feeling of something hanging over their head all the time. All of this extra stuff I have to do is interlinked with the career in question that I changed to. I'm sure that it will be a good idea this time to actually get a job in the related field to get a more clear idea of the job itself. That was my mistake with what I had been doing for these past two years. Although I'm happy that I can at least get an associates degree for all the time I put into it. I hear other students telling me ...

New Yogurt Place-!!! ^__^

Image
I am so happy right now. Today I got to go to The Red Mango with my mom that recently opened up closer to where we live. Their yogurt is so yummy and I feel so fortunate that we have one that's in a much more convenient location. All the other yogurt places that we would go to in the past were way off somewhere in another city and it really sucked having to drive so far just to get a nice cup of frozen yogurt. So we wouldn't get frozen yogurt that often... T^T But now, we can go as often as we want without feeling the dread of a long drive and fearing traffic on the way home. ^__________________^ The yogurt and toppings there are self-served so it's pretty cool. Although the yogurt machine takes a bit of getting used to. The yogurt comes out fairly slowly. Their original and pomegranate yogurt, I think, are their killer flavors. Those are both soooo good and perfect. One is sweet/tangy and the other is sweet but with a very slight tang to it. There were a l...

Another great movie: Hp7 Pt1

Image
This past Monday, I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt1 with a friend and it was so awesome! The movie was filmed brilliantly. There's a lot of thrilling parts along with many buildups of tension, even if this isn't the most exciting half of the book. The director did a great job with it. The acting was also very convincing and all the actors in my opinion did an amazing job in their roles. I was moved. I didn't compare the movie to the book since I hadn't read it in a while. I chose not to read it beforehand. I think people should enjoy the movie for what it is and not expect it to be a complete visual of the book. If you're thinking about seeing this movie, the extra money for going to an earlier screening is definitely worth it. I usually go to AMC theatres and it's $10.50 for the regular price until around 2-3 weeks later when people can start using coupons. I didn't wanna wait around and have some random idiot spoil the whole...
