Yummy food~

Hello,

Ahh it feels like forever since I posted! School has just blew me away.. of course, I shouldn't be surprised, but I still cry at the unearthly amounts of homework and schoolwork that we are required to do.. If I actually wanted to have at least 7 hours of sleep every night, I would have to start my homework right when I get home, skip dinner and taking a shower, and just work my brains out until midnight. o_o of course, I don't. :P I usually get home at around 4 pm, eat dinner (yes I eat early cause I'm super hungry), and do homework until 1-2 am, then play around a little and relax until 3 am. :P I know it's really bad and I'm probably going to die early because of my lack of sleep, but I have to relieve my stress somehow! .-. 

Ok enough complaining and ranting! 

Last year, I went to a very nice restaurant called J. Alexander's with friends for homecoming. It was sooooo good.. I managed to take some pictures hehe. I definitely want to go back here at least once before I die. 

Fried calamari for an appetizer.. Yum. 

My friend got crab cakes. So many fries!

This is some sort of seafood pasta I think? Or could it be chicken pasta? Anyways, it looks really good. ^.^

Roasted herb chicken with mashed potatoes.... Yummmmmm

I got chicken tenders with fries. So good. I really wanted to get un steak-frites (parce que j'aime le steak et les frites!), but it was so much monies so I got this.. It was nonetheless very delicious. If I go again, I'm gonna get those steak-frites though. :D

I was really satisfied with the restaurant. Woohoo can't wait til I can go back!
One thing I don't really like about restaurants in general, (at least where I live), is that the portions are HUGE! I have never been able to finish the dinner portion of anything at a restaurant. Personally, I would rather pay less and get a much smaller portion of food. I actually don't really like the feeling of being full or bloated, so I would rather pay half as much and get much less food that is still enough to satisfy my hunger but not overfill me. End rant again haha..

I go through these obsession phases, and over the winter break, I was all over girly plots in both dramas, manga, and fanfics. I read and watched some very girly things that I normally don't really care for, but ahhh I discovered so many cute plots and characters. ^_^ Recently, though, I have been obsessed with k-pop again. I know there are lots of haters out there and people who judge, but whatever! I love k-pop. ^_^ I just spend hours watching music videos and music programs and reality shows with singers.. I might do a post on my favorite singers, as well as my favorite other things such as manga and dramas. :D

I hope you guys are having a wonderful week!

'Til next time~

Fail Nails: Half moon manicure

Hey everyone~

Yup. I attempted a half moon manicure because I thought it looked really sophisticated and nice! But of course, with my luck and my horrible skills with tape, I sorta failed. T^T 

I used Sally Hansen White Tip, and Essie Licorice. You want to use colors that are very opaque and only take about a coat for full opacity. This pic was taken right after I painted the black part over the white base and peeled the tape off, so messy edges. 

This is after applying top coat. T_T As you can see, the white part smeared into the black part of the nail.. Stupid top coat brush.. I usually don't clean up after painting my nails, cause after I wash my hands throughout the day, or take a shower, the sides of my fingers magically because clean and free of nail polish. :D

This is what my nails looked like after a couple of days. T_T I guess I went to bed too quickly. The new topcoat I'm using isn't as nice as my previous one, but I'm going to try to use it up anyways. (bubbles, shrinking edges, smearing! D:) I'll try to post a review of it soon! 

But yes, I'm definitely going to try to attempt a half moon manicure again in the future. Hopefully my nail taping skills will have increased by 900%. :D Sigh break is over soon.. I enjoyed it though. I think I forgot how to study, and how to do calc. D: Not good..!! >_<;; I wasn't very productive (I watched youtube videos and ate my heart out) but it was very relaxing.. Time for #*($ to begin once again.. >_<

'Til next time!

Anime Convention Haul!

Hello~

I went to an anime convention last summer (yes this post is overdue) and here are the things that I bought. :D I splurged and bought some things that may seem useless to others, but to me, they make me happy.

Mostly gachapon things haha

I bought a llama! Same as the one from one of my previous posts. So cute and fluffy. 

Some mini gundam models I think? Gachapon haha..

Woohoo I wanted Peach, and I got her on my second try! I feel like this picture pretty much sums up Bowser's and Peach's relationship in Mario.

Woohoo a cute strawberry Domo figure! :D 

I tried not to spend too much, but I probably won't be going back to an anime convention for a while, so I bought these cute figurines. I love stuff like this, cause I can put it up next to my desk or on my bookshelf and look at it whenever I'm feeling down. I'm gonna try to not buy any more of stuff like this, cause my family thinks I'm wasting money. I'm going to save up for a Wii U. >:D

The convention itself was interesting. It was my first one, so my friends and I mostly spent time at the shops and went to some panels. There were soo many people. The person wouldn't let me wait in line for Vic Mignogna's autograph, because the line was too long. D: So I gave up on that.. Oh well. At least I was within a 100 meter radius of him haha..

Hopefully I can go to another convention, cause I want to use my cosplay again! even if it wasn't that great. :P

'Til next time!

(Ahh it's dinner time, and I'm really hungry and I wanna eat everything, but I gotta work hard on my diet. :c Food is so goood.)

Happy New Years!! Review and Resolutions

Hello hello~

Happy New Years everyone!! ^_^ I'm eating some jello fruit cake and watching the first episode of Heirs. :D Ahh this is the life.. Anyways, 2013 is finally over.. I don't know about you guys, but 2013 was kinda rough. I'm looking forward to another year though. :D I can't believe it's already been a year since we started this blog.. I hope it grows even more in 2014.

My New Year's Resolutions:

1. Exercise! I think this was a resolution for a couple of years now.. But I actually have the hope and the determination this year. :D
2. Eat healthy! Which means cutting out junk food.. :c
3. Always be hopeful, and never give up.
4. Don't care about what other people think of you or whether they judge you. In the end, it doesn't really matter. You still have your own problems and solutions to deal with.
5. Work hard on everything. Don't waste time dilly-dallying!
6. Get more sleep. My skin in currently paying the price for extreme sleep deprivation..
7. Avoid jealousy or envy; it's simply not worth it. I'm constantly wishing that I was someone else, but all I can do is try my best at being me.
8. Be happy and healthy. LOL I know this is really cheesy, but for reals.

I feel like I'm giving myself a pep talk or something.. haha. Hopefully 2014 will be a good year. I wish you guys luck with your resolutions for 2014 as well! Woohoo!

'Til next time!
