Green Tea
Friday, June 18, 2010
I absolutely love a billion things about green tea! It's my favorite type of tea (very awesome with sushi! XD) and one of my favourite flavours of ice cream. Mmmmm... :] But most of you probably already know that it's very good for your health and can be used for beauty benefits as well when applied directly to the skin.
Green tea naturally rich in anti oxidents which protects the skin from free radicals. It has the power to renew skin cells treating problems such as aging, blemishes, and UV damage.
I recently started doing this green tea eye treatment for dark circles and puffiness because I have the worst sleeping habits and catch myself doing very unproductive things at 5 in the morning :D Basically, all you need to do is put the tea bags under your eyes for 15 minutes I believe?
There are many ways you can do this but I decided to follow SecretLifeOfABioNerd's method because you only use one tea bag to make a batch that will last you for over a week. You are saving tea bags and time as well.
She is definitely one of my fav DIYers
With the left over green tea, you can add more water and drink the rest of it or like me, put it in an empty spray bottle and use it as a toner.
lololololololol.
The first morning I tried this, I didn't notice how puffy my eyes were when I woke up until I used the frozen green tea cotton pads and felt a dramatic difference. My eyes felt completely refreshed and all the puffiness went away.
It doesn't hurt to try this. It's SUPER inexpensive and you probably have all the items needed for this at home already.
Until next time.

four letter word puzzle
Saturday, June 12, 2010
I've actually never heard of these types of puzzles before, but I found it very interesting when Bryan gave me a puzzle on a newspaper that him and his friends spent A LOT of time trying to figure out but couldn't. So he gave it to me to solve because he gave up.
It reminds me of Sudoku but I think it's way harder than Sudoku because I do not know every possible four letter word in the world.. which was why I was able to solve this with the assistance of the page on the internet with every possible four letter word. Cheating? I don't think so. I've never heard of the word eked or flue. If you know them, great. My vocabulary sucks and it's something I really want to expand on =]
Yes, I was so happy for solving it that I HAD to take a picture
Funny thing is that Bryan's closest answer was so close that all he had to do was switch the K and the E in the bottom left corner in his closest answer (written bellow the puzzle) in order for it to be solved. He didn't even use the internet for help like me.
For now, I'll just stick to Suduko ^^

Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home
Yes, that was all improv. Amazing!
This song is truly moving, especially when the piano starts to come in. It's the best song to improv to.

Spent Victoria Day with the cousinsss! =] (Yes, I know that was days ago, but I hate posting about events without pictures!) We made some very last minute plans to go to the beach... which wasn't the best idea for a last minute plan, since A LOT of people probably had the idea of going to the beach on a lovely day like that. SO driving there ended up being very crazy and slow because parking spots even far from the beach were full x_X.
Randomly parked somewhere to discuss our plans.
I don't remember what beach we originally planned to go to, but we ended up at Cherry Beach, which was less full. The best place to park was at a T&T Supermarket we passed along the way. Anywhere closer that wasn't a legit parking place had cars with parking tickets lolololol.
By the time we settled there, it was already starting to cool down. So no swimming unfortunately =( We just relaxed and spent quite some time playing this Murderer card game. Well, it's not really a card game but we had to use the cards to determine the Murderer. I was the Murderer like 4 times in a row in the beginning so everyone just automatically suspected me afterwards D:
When it started getting dark and a bit too cold, we all went to a karaoke bar downtown called Bar Plus. I never noticed it before even though I've been walking by it for two years now. Lulz.
(8) Living on a prayerrrrr!!!
For the rest of the week, I spent a lot of time outdoors with some special people. The weather has been absolutely beautiful. I definitely got more tanned. Ahah.
Note to self: Bring camera with you more often.
Until next time.

Decided to steal some vids from facebook of dances from Choreo back in March since people only posted them up not too long ago.
Both videos are from dress rehearsals, which explains some mistakes you might or might not notice. Ahah.

I just finished re-watching all 64 episodes of Shaman King, which is my all time fave anime!!! =]
Shaman King was also my first anime I watched without stupid laaame english dubs T_T. Everything before that was probably like Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors, Pokemon, Digimon, etc. (which were still awesome in english... when I was 10). I remember when my brother used to watch Shaman King on Saturday mornings back then. It was more of a 'guy' anime with all the action and fighting so I was never really interested in it, but I still found their voices soooo annoying!
But thennnn I started watching it in Japanese years later after my brothers got burnt copies from a friend and I REALLY liked it! I'm pretty sure from then on I never watched an anime with dubs. Ahah.
A huge comet circles around the world to annouce the start of the "Shaman Fight" ... a battle held every 500 years that determines the Shaman King. Yoh Asakura, a shaman in training, transferred from a school in Izumo. Choosing the spirit of a legendary samurai, Amidamaru as his possessing soul, Yoh will join the "Shaman Fight".
(taken from one of my Shaman King posters lolololol)
I watched one clip of the dubbed version right after watching one episode of the Japanese version and it was actually HORRIBLE. Their voices were over exaggerated obviously, and what made it worse were the cheesy and lame lines they replaced the original translations with. It completely dumbed down the anime.
Also, their voices pretty much screwed up the original characters. Why does Anna have such a princessy and snobby voice when it doesn't match her dull expression that she has for the majority of the anime? AND Why does Ren, who is supposed to be Chinese, have a freaking English accent?!?!?
K I'm done ranting.
I almost forgot that each episode was only 30mins. I was so used to episodes being an hour long like in asian dramas! Haha. So, it was SUPER easy for me to be like ....just one more episode.... at 4AM.
I highly recommend this anime if you are ever in some crazy fighting action anime mood... which I was in when I decided to rewatch it =]
not that new Shaman King desktop picture!
Kthnxbaiiiii
PS: "funga fufu" is some random thing Yoh kept saying in this one special episode. I have no idea what it means and I don't think it actually means something. Ahah.

Guess who's on the Hall of Fame Dance Challenge website?? :D
At the competition I went to last weekend in Niagra, one of my dance groups won first in the Senior Large Group category and was also chosen to be posted on the website. It's there now so you can watch if you're bored.
Click Here and go to the second last video
yayyyyy

I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you.
Yes, there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you.
I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down, I want to come to.
I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you.
The song is very self explanatory. I've been listening to this non stop all week!

Never tried Chat Roulette myself, but it sure sounds interesting :D
This guy is sooo talented!
there's nothing to save
God, that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said, "Yes, I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you never got in
And now you're outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
Nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
There's one thing I have to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

Reunited with a lot of high school friends last friday for Patricia's 20th at Lot 332! =] I'm so happy I was able to make it. The majority of the people there I hadn't seen since high school or my 18th!
I think I might have been a little tipsy for the first time despite all my profile pics with me holding drinks. Ahah. I don't even think I drank that much. I drank every time everyone decided to take a shot together... Kay, maybe that was a few times... I swear I drank at Christian's waaaay more though because Lylline kept making me drink!
They played good music, so that was a huge bonus for me XD. Well, except for the random Miley Cyrus song they played, which made everyone go wtf, mate. The dance floor was probably the most crowded that I've ever danced on. It wasn't that big to begin with actually. I'm so happy I had Aaron as my body guard from creepers who came up behind me x_X. I'm not saying any names but there was one particular person who kept following me on the dance floor, who was part of Patricia's group, but I literally just met that night. All I had to do was give Aaron the look and he would start dancing and shoving the guy away at the same time going "WOOOO!!!" LOL XD
Patricia was soooooo drunk! Ahah. She was like "Chantelle!!! Thanks so much for coming to my partyyyy!!" ... She said that to me like five times! Ahah. And surprisingly, she remembered doing that and the amount of times she did it.
I misplaced my camera charger so all the pics are from Trish's cam (which Tim stole at one point and went picture crazy)
Patricia =]
I was wearing my nudy greys.
Only pic that has my full dress in it. Yes, it's short. Forever 21 <3..
Me and Nic. I think he was drunk at this point. Ahah
Me and Trish
Best bodyguard everrrr :D
Hopefully, I'll be able to party it up with these people again after school is over.
peace, love, and lol
peace, love, and lol
Choreo Madness!

Pic heavy posts yeah!
I'm pretty sad that Choreographic Works is over. It went by sooo fast! I spent a lot more time than usual with my classmates because we still had to go to dance classes in the morning and we had to stay at the theatre for a run through of the show or the actual show until very late every day... actually. It wasn't really the dancing that was the hardest part out of the whole experience, it was the traveling back home and then back to school the next morning. I wish I lived closer to a subway station. That way, I'd save more money because GO passes are more expensive and I'd have to walk less to go to school. Oh well. Exercise is good?
Naps were always needed.
I went to the Opening Night party with everybody after the first show (which went well by the way). First, we went to one of our classmate's place to pre-drink and stuff, just as a second year class. Then after wards, we all headed out as a group to the official party with the rest of the 3rd and 4th year dancers, as well as all the Tech students. It wasn't held at a bar or a club though. The place we went to seemed more like a party room that can be rented out. Who goes partying on a Wednesday night anyway? Ahah.
Had no idea this picture was taken.
No, I wasn't dancing.
I got elbowed in the head VERY hard by Rodney (aka. the guy behind me, who has the longest arms), out of all people. And Crystal decided to take a picture right after it happened T_T
Some ( x 98357349583) behind the scenes pictures because I'm lazy to talk =] Oh, and yes, we had to share change rooms with guys. It's not a big deal really.
Second Years yayyy!!
Second Years yayyy!!
Ji Won's Phone Cam =]
Clusterfuck!
(The name of Rodney's piece... Yes, they actually wrote that in the program)
Not that fierce look!
[Insert super awesome group pictures of other pieces I'm in here whenever they get posted up on facebook for me to steal! >:D]
Rodney took a lot of really nice pictures during the show from back stage
While Choreo was running, I had another little performance to do with Crystal's Carribean piece for a Multi Cultural Show in the Business Department at school. We had to do it like right before one of the matinee shows for Choreo. It's funny how it worked out so well. We didn't have to rush right after to get ready for Choreo, because we already had make up done and we were stretched. I didn't think this performance was that big of a deal at first until I went there and heard that we were gonna be on TV and also saw how business like the audience was dressed x_X. But anyway, it went well =] Our group got to try on the full carnival costumes from Barbados!
They had a hip hop group perform as well as a Filipino group, who did tinikling! Funny thing was that I knew one of them: Pearce! (aka. the amazing art student from high school) I was pretty surprised to see him there and I almost didn't recognize him for some reason. Another funny thing, I was walking by them and their coach asked me if I wanted to join their group and do folk dancing. I could not tell if he was being serious or not, but he was. Ahah. He got my email address so that he could message me with their site? Yeah... Still haven't gotten it. But oh wells. I don't know if I'll have time to do it though.
The rest of Choreo just got better and better as the week went on. I still felt tired as hell and slacked off in my classes, especially ones where I get to sit down and go on my lap top... and take a bajillion webcam pictures with friends :D
Hot.
By the end of that cam whoring session, there were about 75 taken! Yes, I had to delete some. Ahah.
Thank god we didn't really have any major assignments due during the two weeks. That would have been REALLY evil because all our professors know we have Choreo going on. I'm pretty sure they watched it themselves! Ahah.
I was unable to go and party with the dancers for the Closing Night Party, which was at the Brunny. But I did get to hang out with all of them at another pre-drink. Ahah. No I didn't drink anything.
love your show.

Yes, I completely fail at my weekly updates.
I'm not dead. I'm just super exhausted and rather sleep as soon as I get home... which is at midnight... every night. I'm not joking. lulz.
Until next time.

Yayyy I'm in there! =]
A bit disappointed because they used more of the footage from the third take because not as much people were there. A lot of us had to leave after the second take because we had midterms and tests to write T_T.

Also, thank you for accidentally giving me a cute pair of tweezers that was stuck on one of the pens. I'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be there, but it saved my life the next day when I got a splinter in jazz class at the bottom of my foot x___X. It turned out to be this little metal thing that REALLY hurt. So thanks!

Clubbing with three clubbing virgins yayyyyy =]
Somewhat picture heavy because I don't want to write a lot.
Someone decided to go to Sugar Daddy's, which is a club in Mississauga. Yeah, I definitely cannot take that name seriously. It was originally planned to go to Body English, which was only a few mins away, but apparently there was a shooting there a few weeks before. Sooo... yeah.
The Krispy Kreme fatties =]
Denika and Chantal were the only ones brave enough to start dancing to Soca when there was barely anyone there yet.
This guy that looked like, dressed like, and danced like Napoleon Dynamite. Lololol.
not that short skirt! D:
Almost everyone.
Overall, I had a good time. It wasn't as much fun as my last time clubbing, mostly because they played rap songs that can't really dance to. It's more fun for me when they play Top 40 or House! =] But that night was only dedicated to Hip Hop, R&B, and a bit of Soca. Oh, and they played Aleesia's song Bubblegum, which was that only song I actually knew that night and it was pretty random because I don't think it fits into any of those song categories. Also, I didn't really enjoy the atmosphere too much there for some reason. I think its's because the majority of the people there seemed to be a lot older. Oh wells. That's what you getting for going to a club in Sauga that no one knows about on a Thursday night. Lulz.
not that kool-aid!
not that kool-aid!
not that dancing on Dundas Sqaure! D:

Probably the best part of my week.
Organized random events on the streets that make people go "wtf mate" yayyyyy =]
Btw, I stole this vid from facebook after my friend Crystal saw that someone posted it on Aleesia's fan page and told me that I'm in there very clearly. Oh myyy. I hope I get to see the official video with the whole dance some time soon.
Funny story from a classmate...
Touwanna: Hey, do you know what's going on?
Random guy on the street: I have no idea.
Touwanna: Yeah, it's so weird.
Random guy: I think you're a part of this.
Touwanna: I think so too! *starts dancing*

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
