is the shit!
This site was introduced by one of my classmates who thought I would love it... and she was spot on because I immediately got hooked.
It's like tumblr but way better for those who like to reblog inspiring images and what not. It's also like a DIY central! I am stealing a bajillion ideas for holiday treats and gifts this season and some other DIY stuff for myself =]
Unfortunately, it takes up to a week or so to get an account (which is why I kept posting all my repins on my neglected Twitter), but it's definitely worth the wait.

After being curious about a certain camera that I saw on Diana Rikasari's blog, I searched for some reviews on it and came across this channel on youtube under DigitalRevCom.
Kai's reviews are so informative and incredibly entertaining at the same time. He really does keep your full attention for the entire video. Maybe it's the fact that he's Asian and has an English accent... I love that lulz.
Anyways, I found the review I was looking for on the Olympus PEN E-PL2.
Soooo pretty.
....and now I HAVE to get it -__-''

And yes, I love playing with the toy camera feature on my camera. It's cheating, but oh well =]
Dear bloggerland,

No, I didn't forget about you. I just didn't feel like blogging the entire time :D
I'm considering just switching to a tumblr because I don't feel the need to write anymore lengthy posts at the moment? Or maybe I'll just use both? I don't know. We'll see how I feel.
Until then, hope this video occupies you because it makes me very happy =]

Oh hi there,
Ebun, Thunderstorm, Stormy, Spikey, Sweetie, Dirty, Pebbles, Cloudy, Patchy, Rocky, Spunky, Jennifer, Girlie, Facebook, Youtube, and Friendster weren't very suitable names for obvious and not so obvious reasons.
I am a girl cockatiel. I don't talk. I don't bite.
I cannot fly, but I still love trying to even though there is nowhere to land.
Oh and Tweety doesn't like me yet. Sad face.

An absolutely amazing experience working with Patti Wilcox for an industrial show at the Fairmount Royal York. I had never felt so sore in my life. I remember not being able to sit down or walk without feeling any pain. But it was all worth it.
I learned so much in rehearsals and saw some mind blowing circus acts that were in the show as well!
I'm really sad that we didn't get the chance to take many pictures in all our costumes or see a video of our performance afterwards. We did four elemental pieces: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. All the costumes were made wonderfully and with a low budget too. I think she said it cost only $1400 for the costumes. It sounds like a lot, but when you look at how it's for 6 dancers and each dancer had 5 costumes, it's actually really cheap for a legit dance costume.

Shots at Jack Astors after the show. Good timessss.
I am so lucky to have been chosen for this job back in April. I think this was my first official paid dance gig! :D

Yes, this was like a LOOONG time ago but I've been busy and I didn't have my laptop for a bit. Better late than never riiight?
I was actually SO excited for Anime North because I had only gone once in grade 10 and hadn't been able to go for the next 4 years from dance competitions landing on those weekends. Boo.
So excited that I bought a weekend pass early..
So excited that I dressed up as Pikachu for the last two days!!
And that's how my new nickname Pikachu at work started... lulz.
I felt like cosplaying but I didn't know who to go as so I picked Pikachu because all I needed to do was make a hat and wear yellow and done! I used SecretLifeOfABioNerd's tutorial on Youtube as well as this fleece hat tutorial from deviantart http://clearkid.deviantart.com/art/Fleece-Hat-Tutorial-68772035 as a reference in making my pikachu hat. It wasn't hard at all. It would've just been a lot faster if I used a sewing machine x_X Too bad I don't really have a very good one that works.
Because I hand stitched the entire thing, it wasn't done for the first day (because I started it the night before lolololol). So I just threw on a random dress and a mini top hat. Not sure what kind of look I was going for or what character I would be, but according to Andrew, I did actually look like some anime character that he knew but couldn't remember where it was from.
The whole weekend in the convention centre consisted of me walking around and around the dealer's room and the craft section being indecisive and picky about buying certain things for myself and other people... and then killing my feet. I didn't really get the chance to go to other events except for the J-Pop dance and the J-Rave because I couldn't come that early for other events for the whole weekend.
I randomly ran into one of my elective buddies at school at one of the dances though. What are the chances? It was so crowded D:
David, Mashimaro and meee.
Ozzyyyyyy!!!! :D Love this pic

He gave me that Mashimaro though it is a lil confusing as to why he did. He bought it and then didn't want to carry around cuz it was too big so he gave it to me?... but then later on bought another one anyway! LOL How silly =] Oh well, it's my extremely early birthday present from him!
Favourite cosplays?
I regret not taking that many pictures of the epic cosplays I saw. It's mostly because I was too lazy to take my camera out OR I was too slow in taking my camera out =( These were the only decent ones I got.
Aaaand no I'm not trying to say here that my outfit was epic by posting this one. Actually I was just there to take a pic of their epic costumes until this other guy with this huge camera told me to go and join them.
Favourite buys?
I actually didn't get too many things for myself. Most of the items I got were for my siblings and friends.
I got this shirt for Bryan from the craft area and I really like the artist's designs ...even though they are like really random creatures. The quality of the prints is really nice as well and it's all hand made I believe.
raccoon/ fox creature? :D
Me and Vernonn bought Tokidoki Marvel T Shirts for Shingo whose birthday was coming up. And there was a ton of Angry Bird merchandise, so I picked up something for my sisterrr cuz she's the greatest Angry Bird nerd I know.
My favourite buys for myself..
Totoro backpack!!!
I don't care if I look like a lil kid. Totoro is awesome :D
And other pics just cuz I don't know where to put them...
Hello Kitty film + Anime Convention = Awesome
Favourite cosplays?
- Windmill guy from Zelda Ocarina of Time
- Someone wearing a Pedobear mask under a Barney suit

I'm pretty sure I saw these guys everywhere. Even at Swiss Chalet when we had dinner. Hahaha.

Usami Kei is a salaryman who has risen in status due to his engagement with Mei, the wealthy daughter of his company's president. Shortly after she breaks off the engagement, a power failure leaves him stuck in the elevator of his apartment building. Trapped with him are three others living on the same floor - Airu, a trilingual interpreter, Ojiro, a model photographer, and Masato, a psychiatrist. While waiting, their conversation hits upon their love lives and the question of whether there is truly only one fated partner for everyone. As a result, they decide to try "shuffling" their relationships with each other.
Literally, finished it in three days. It's a good one to watch if you're looking for a short and fast drama. There are only 10 episodes and they're all around 40mins. I'm glad they weren't afraid to keep it short, because dragging the plot would only make it worse as a whole like what some dramas do. It's a really interesting one to watch and less predictable. A lot of cute and funny moments too =]
yay panda!

You know what's the best thing to watch when you're feeling crappy/bored?
Mameshiba!
I remembered it again after seeing T&T selling Mameshiba phone charms in the gumball machine thingys! XD And yes, I had to get one... and then another the next time I went. I want to collect all of them, but what are the chances that one I don't already have will come out every single time? D:
The chick pea and the lentil!
And also my small but growing instant photo blob/whatever shape that is on my wall :D
I think these two are my favourite mameshiba episodes.
Go watch the rest of them now! :D
ice packs are my best friend.

I've been done school for a good week now. But I've been too lazy to update mostly because...
This was only the first day so my cheeks weren't really swollen. They blew up the next two days though x_X
I got my wisdom teeth out yayyyyy. I only got my two bottom ones out because they were impacted. They initially told me that I had to get all four out but then when I had my consultation they said that I don't need to take the top ones out because they are growing in straight and there's enough room. I hope they're right because I'm gonna get so pissed if I have to get them out later on! T_T I don't wanna go through this experience again.
I'm feeling better now. I believe I'm on day 5 of recovery? I can probably go out now without feeling self conscious about how huge my cheeks are. Ahaha. No I did not take a pic of my self with my chipmunk cheeks. But my friends that were nice enough to visit me at home definitely saw them. It was a fun Castle Crashers party! =]
Anyways, this school year has flown by SO quickly. Summer 2010 didn't feel that long ago. It feels like only maybe one semester went by. I can't believe that I'm gonna be in 4th year next year! It's really scary actually.
I love my class!
Working
Currently I am job hunting since I have time to have another job because my teaching job is only once a week. This is actually my first time seriously going for a part time job. All my work experience has only been teaching. For the past like two weeks I have been applying to places that were and were not hiring. I've been going to mostly restaurants or places that would allow me to have waitress experience. I don't want to do retail even though I would get a could chance of working at places like lululemon. Before I wanted to work there, but thinking about it now, the sales associates there seem to be really fake and I don't think I can handle that. Maybe it's just me. Also, I think I'd get bored doing retail. Being a server seems to be a lot more interesting for me. Plus, tips? :D We'll see. I do have some interviews coming up this week so wish me luck! :D
Taking dance classes and auditions
Self explanatory. I want to take classes downtown but not only contemporary. I want to learn how to do popping and locking as well as crazy as it sounds! My cousin is gonna teach me =] If I hear about any auditions for some short dance jobs I'll go for sure. It's what I want to do right? I need to increase my connections as well. So far I got a job for a show for an insurance company that I heard about from one of my teachers at school. There was about 50ish people that auditioned since it was a bit last minute, but they were only looking for 3 guys and 3 girls. So it was intense! I'm so blessed to have made it. I get to work with a choreographer from Steps NYC. I was incredibly happy when I got a call back. I couldn't stop smiling! Bryan was there to witness it! Haha. The show and rehearsals aren't until June so I do have some time to get into other things. Hopefully I'll come across more opportunities such as commercials. I'd want to do that for sure!
Youtube
I want to participate in the youtube community a lil bit more. Making videos has always been fun and I've gained a lot of encouragement and inspiration from others =] I'll have more time to make vids over the break.Of what I'm not entirely sure. So far I plan on doing some circle lenses reviews since I have quite a few now. I heart circle lenses! ^^
Arts
Painting. Playing with my lomography cameras. Crafts. Etc.
Chilling
With very awesome people =]
Until next time.
