T.H.E.M.

I saw this TV show earlier this year. It was called T.H.E.M., Totally Hidden Extreme Magic. This show is a reality tv show with a bunch of world famous magicians playing pranks on people. It was a pretty awesome show but unfortunately they only aired one episode. Here is one of the pranks they did that I really liked:

Steam Sweet Egg

This is a recipe from one of my old blogs that I feel is worth moving over. Last year I found a online recipe for Steam Sweet Egg. It's a very simple and yummy Chinese dessert that my dad used to make all the time (one of the very few things that he can actually cook lol). That was the first time I tried to make it myself! The resulting product was a little bit sweeter than expected but the surface is very smooth and pretty looking! :D


(The bowl is chipped... Whoops <.<)

The original web page can be found here on Christine's Recipes: http://www.christinesrecipes.com/2008/04/steamed-eggs-with-milk-dessert.html
Since the recipe for this is in Chinese, I will translate it for you guys! This recipe makes about 2 servings.

Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 30 grams of sugar (amount can vary depending on personal preference)
- 250 mL of milk

Directions:
1. Beat the eggs until it becomes a uniform mixture. Warm the milk in microwave or sauce pan until lukewarm (do not let milk boil).
2. Stir together the milk, egg mixture, and sugar. Use a spoon to remove the bubbles floating on top (I usually just let it sit for about 5-10mins).
2. Use aluminum foil to cover the bowl (or bowls) and put it into the steamer. Use medium to high fire to steam for 12 minutes. Open the steamer's cover every 4 minutes to let out the steam.
4. Eat while warm or chilled in the fridge(I like it chilled X3). ENJOY! :D

Cooking with Dog

Last night Sukotto also showed me a youtube cooking channel where the show is hosted by a dog named Frances. Besides the fact that a dog speaking English with a Japanese accent being absolutely adorable, I also find that these recipes are very simple and yummy. Try it out if you guys have time! :D

All Hail the Fridge God

Last night before I went to sleep, I was talking to a friend about how Kira (my roommate's dog) would beg for food if I'm eating an I ignore her. So he showed me this adorable video of a kitty begging at the fridge for food. Thanks a ton Sukotto!

Battle Against Acne 1: Products I have tried

I'm pretty sure a majority of our planet's population have had problems with acne just like I did. Even though it was such a common problem, it didn't make me feel any better that I was going to school with these red bump all over my face. Over the course of many year and trials of different products and routines, I am proud to say I have finally found one that fits my skin type and that my acne is now under control!

I have tried many different types of face wash such as neutrogena, proactive, The Body Shop, and etc. But the one I have found to be most effective is Acnefree's sensitive solution.



After the first week of using this system, I noticed my skin was less oily and there were less break outs. With the continuous use of this product the amount of break outs I had reduced to about once a week! And now I can even use face products that are not specific to acne prone skin! You can find this product online at Target, Amazon, or Walgreen's!

I know that there are many factors that go into the formation of acne and I am no expert on this subject. But this is what I have tried and found to be successful. Stay tune for posts about my daily routines, facial treatment, or other stuff I use to keep my skin healthy and acne free! I hope this was helpful to someone out there! :)

Nail Art 1: Tokidoki Nails

Last weekend I got bored and decided I want to paint my nails again. I've been interested in nail art for quite a while now. I've collected some books, tools, and etc but I only do my nails once in a while. Reason for this is because I can't work with long nails and I tend to break them easily doing activities like volunteering or karate. That's why I only paint on my actual nails now. However, I find it uber difficult to draw on my right hand which is why I don't do nail art often. Anyways, I was bored and I decided I want to do them again and so I drew Tokidoki characters (the super simple ones) on my nails for fun!





I have a very small collection of nail polish colors so for some of these drawings I used a mixture of polishes or acrylic paint. It works just fine! :P

If you guys love nail art and want some ideas for patterns, you guys should definitely check out this blog! It was on the front of yahoo last month! Have fun! :)

Cellphone Decoration

Recently I noticed the invisible shield on my HTC Hero was coming off. So I decided to look online to find a new protection for it. At first I was looking for a case that would go all around because I want my phone to be super protected if I were to drop it (which I have done twice already). But then I came across these pretty looking skins that you can stick onto your phone. And they come in 3 skin per order of $11!!! So I bought two sets (though I probably don't need that many). After waiting for 3 weeks (the first time they messed up the shipment and it never came), I finally got the package!!! X3



I immediately went to work to put one on to my phone! It was such tedious work because 1) I'm super anal about getting things perfectly right and 2) the screen shield from the previous protection (I left this on because the new one doesn't cover the touch screen) kept sticking to the new skin and would come off every time I tried to reposition the skin. After about an hour of battling, my phone looks awesome! I was also able to download a wall paper that allows the screen to blend with the skin!





I'm uber satisfied with the final product! There are a variety of skins that can fit different phones, laptops, and ipods! Go check them out at: http://www.invisibledefenders.com

Welcome :D

YAY! I finally got this blog up! It took me forever to decided what kind of background I wanted to put on here. I decided in the end that something simple would be best. After all, it is the content that matters the most.

Let's talk a little bit about the purpose of this blog. I'm a person who likes to try all kinds of new things, be it experiences or tangible objects like beauty supplies, food, books, movies... If I don't find new things to do constantly, I will get super bored. Anyways, I thought: wouldn't it be cool if I could share the things I find awesome with others who is also bored and looking for new things to do? Who knows? You might be just as bored as me or you're just looking for new experiences. Well, here the place for that!

The posts before this one are from my other blog that I felt was worth keeping so I transferred them over here. I might post more than once a day depending on the different objects I want to talk about (just so I can keep each post short and to a specific topic) or I might not post for days, weeks, or even months (let's hope I don't get to that point of laziness). It all depends on my finds and schedule. I hope you will enjoy these awesome finds as much as I do! And please, feel free to leave me a comment! I love to know people are actually reading this! XD
