Daaaang

I haven't posted in a while. I should post more often.
:( I'm lonely. I'm home alone with nothing to do and my mouth hurts and I just feel like complaining because I can do that.

Fuck Yeah! Baking!...and stuff

My mom won't let me bake b/c she thinks ingredients are a waste of money, but I can still have my cake!


(cheesecake that is)

I really want to try out this peach cobbler recipe this weekend

yummm

Temperatures are reaching crazy heights nowadays and I just hope they tone down before school starts. @_@

My school seems to be a bit boring. No interesting people...yet. Imma make friends with the first lolita I see! (or visukei person)



(no matter how crappy they look, at least they are interested in the style)


I love Perfume!♥ I got into them ever since Electro World and it's been a love affair since.

I have their newest single VOICE stuck in my head.

Everything you need to know. The Voice~

What is it about scene kids?

That whole 'grouping together because of similar style' thing that happens a lot with emo and scene kids. I mean, I have nothing against scene/emo kids but it seems as if the only reason they like dressing in that way is because it somehow gives them an identity to other people and makes them feel comfortable having a place in society. Kinda like how hipsters identify themselves on how many 'underground' bands they listen to. I believe that's why they get so angry whenever a band they like goes mainstream, even when the quality of music has not dropped. Liking something unknown makes them feel unique I think. It's a way to separate themselves from the masses and establish their own identity. It's something all people strive for, an identity.



It's kinda stupid that some people believe that through styling the same as their peers, they are expressing their individuality. Everything has been done before, stop trying so hard. I hate it when people describe themselves as random on their profile descriptions. If you are TRUELY random then I don't see the need to announce yourself so (and no, I'm not being hypocritical). Just like those people that describe themselves as clumsy to sound cute. Real clumsiness is NOT cute people! It can actually be pretty painful (first-hand experience). That's another reason why I hate Bella from Twilight, and Twilight in general.



Anyhow, I actually think emo/scene kids are pretty cute. Their style choice isn't that bad unless they claim it is 'unique'. Pfffft, yeah right. I think 80's glam rock and visual kei beat you to it. Though I'd rather have a bunch of visual kei guys and gyaru gals around than scene kids.


(I love you Alice Nine!~♥)

This was just an inquisitive rant on these kind of subgroups.
Live your life the way you want, just be down to earth. No one in the world is exactly like you, so don't try too hard.

Happy living!

Every Day?

I don't think I can post every day so I'll just post whenever I have the time. :)

When something becomes an obligation it becomes a chore.

I want this to be my fun thing.

Good night!

Nostalgia

Upside-Down Bridge/ Sakasama Bridge
Vocals: Suneohair
Lyrics: Watanabe Kenji
Composition: Watanabe Kenji

Turning upside-down
Searching for you
As we can’t ever
Make our way there

During dusk on that day
There was your sudden laughter
Under the shooting stars in the gaps between the clouds
I feel like seeing you again and again

During dusk one day
I gazed at the night with you
Every time when I search for the pieces of love
I always get lonely for some reason

I’ve got to go already
Before this sky starts crying

Turning upside-down
Searching for you
As we can’t ever
Make our way there

Standing under the bridge
It’s in the flowing whirlpool
We’re forever
Searching for that answer

Falling apart
Searching for your voice
Someday we’ll
Yearn for each other

Running smoothly
Every single day when I drift
Someday we’ll
Follow and make our way to the place

Unreliable, unattainable
Getting worried, sleepless
I made a loud noise: ‘Don’t leave me’
Saying ‘I won’t leave you’, be by my side always

Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

*sigh* Time moves so fast. Spend time with the people you care about because before you know it, you might not have the chance anymore.

On average, 1/3 of a person's life is spent sleeping.

Go out and do something!

HOT

It's really hot over here in the OC. =o=;;
I swear, I'm literally melting!
I can't understand why people love summer, I even made a pro/con chart and I stand by the idea that SUMMER SUCKS.

PROS:

-You can wear skimpy clothing
-The floor is not cold when you get up
-Bed coverings are not needed
-Longer days
-Get to swim at the beach? (not IMO)

CONS:

-SUNBURNS. ENUF SAID.
-IT'S HOT
-You sweat a lot
-Clothes stick to your body
-My face gets all oily
-IT'S F'ING HOT
-My comp heats up really quickly
-Walking anywhere outside generates sweat
-Everyone wears short shorts (even people who shouldn't)
-Longer days
-Summer break is too long with nothing to do
-I get tanned :(
-Higher risk of skin cancer
-You can put on more clothes to get warmer, but you can only take off what you have to cool down...

Overall I HATE summer...
well, hate is kinda strong. I just really dislike summer and what it does to my body.
If people like summer, good for them but it's just not my season =_=

Did you know?

In a typical year, 13 people are killed by falling vending machines at the beach.

Eat spicy food to cool down and put on sunscreen!
Let's survive summer :)


(winter come back! T_T)

Similar but delicious asian foods

Something I noticed a long time ago was that many dishes of asian cultures shared strong similarities. Most likely because of the countries' close geographical positions and the mixing of cultures during their development.

Examples:

BAOBING/ PATBINGSU/ HALO-HALO/ KAKIGORI/ Ais kacang/ shaved ice

(patbingsu)

Since I am chinese, I'm most familiar with it being called baobing. A dessert made of shaved ice and condensed milk with varying toppings, this is one of my favorite desserts. I love the refreshing sweet taste of baobing during the summer. Toppings include; chopped fruit (mango, kiwi, strawberry, etc.), mochi (little sticky rice balls), grass jelly, red beans, red/green mung beans, and many more. This dish is similar to shaved ice in the US, but a LOT better tasting IMO. The sweetness is not too sweet and I think baobing would be pretty healthy.


MOCHI/ NIAN GAO/ TTEOK/ sticky rice cake

(mochi)

Cute and delicious, all 3 variations are made with glutinous rice. Mochi is shaped into spheres, tteok is made into all kinds of shapes, and nian gao is cut into rectangles. Very sticky, but mildly sweet. The traditional technique of pounding rice into these sticky treats is amazing, not to mention risky.




MAKIZUSHI/ KIMBAP/ stuff rolled into rice and seaweed

(kimbap)

To be honest I don't know why they even bothered to call these different names. The inside ingredients are different but the general presentation and method of making these rolls is virtually the same. Delicious nonetheless, I love both foods.


That's all I can think of for now, but food adventures never cease! :D
Asian cuisine is delicious for the eyes as well as the mouth.

The world's biggest hamburger weighs 185 lbs.

Happy eating :)
