A Cook for a Day

I'm very happy for two things right now: It's raining and I have another post! God is great! ^^,

"Anyone can cook." -Auguste Gusteau

For today, I am all alone. Everybody's out so I have to cook my self my own lunch. It was pretty a challenge for me since I don't usually cook at home. So I decided to simply cook scrambled eggs with mayonnaise and Hunt's Pork and Beans to make it more interesting.

So here is what it looked like:

No, those are not fried rice.

Yes, those are eggs, thank you.

Yes, somehow, I...did over scrambled it..a little. :))

So therefore, I name my very own dish Over-scrambled Eggs with Pork and Beans! Recipes are provided below. =))

Over-scrambled Eggs with Pork and Beans

Ingredients:

1. 3 raw chicken eggs

2. 2 table spoons of mayonnaise

3. 1 pack of Hunt's Pork and Beans (100g)

Talk About Great Artists

I do not know what's wrong with the font style, but this is not the standard font style that I set to my blogger and I hate it. I did not even changed it and yet it has changed itself and I can't even change it back to the way it should be. Blogger y u no stick with the original font.. >.<

*sigh* anyway..

For almost a week of vacation already, I've been bored. Soooo.. I decided to update my iTunes by adding new songs so as not to rot it with unupdated playlists. To my surprise, I have discovered few great artists that were pretty new to me. I decided to blog about them because I was thinking that maybe you may love them too. :)

So here they are:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. つじあやの (Tsuji Ayano)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The first time I heard of her was on the anime-movie The Cat Returns. She was the one who sang the ending song of that movie entitled "風になる" -Kaze Ni Naru (Become the Wind). I don't usually download music that I don't understand or that is not of a language that I spoke of but spare me this one, this song is just plain cute LOL. Her voice was perfect for this song with the ukelele as the main background melody. =) The video below shows Haru, the protagonist in the movie The Cat Returns and Baron, the cat sitting on Haru's arm which is the protector/lover of Haru. :) You should watch the movie too, it's really good. :)

2. 東于哲 Thomas/Jack

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of days ago, I also browsed a list of new good Chinese songs preferably Taiwanese songs on the internet to balance the number of American songs and Chinese songs I have on my iTunes. These two gentlemen here are Thomas (郭曉 東 - Guo Xiao Dong) (left) and Jack (陳澤耀 -Chen Zhe Yao) (right). Somehow, I bumped into one of these guys' music videos on YouTube entitled "躲貓貓" -Duo Mao Mao (Hide and Seek) from their album which also has the same name with their band name 東于哲. It was a great light song. So out of my curiosity I did a little research on them and to my surprise, they are apparently Malaysians that speaks Mandarin Chinese and not Taiwanese. I don't know why their band name is such though. It does not have anything to do with their real names. 東 -Dong means East, 于 -Yu is somewhat a preposition, it can be to, on, for, of, etc. and 哲 -Zhe means philosophy or a wise man, maybe their band name translates to "Wise men of the East". =) Apparently, they are not that famous worldwide not like others such as Jay Chou or Jolin Tsai. I can't find any informative websites about them, only few. They don't even have a page in Wikipedia. But they really have good voice and of course good music! You can actually check them out here and here :D And by the way, Jack is really cute. :">

3. Ed Sheeran

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So while I was watching TV awhile ago, browsing all the channels to find something good to watch, I reached Channel V and there they played a song by Ed Sheeran entitled Lego House from his solo album "+". And again, it was good. I just have a habit of listening to the rest of the songs included in the same album as where the song that I have just heard is. So, yeah, the whole album was fantastic! One of the song in his album "+" which includes Give Me Love was featured on an episode of The Vampire Diaries, so double fantastic! Sheeran is an English man and is a very good friend of Rupert Grint.

I don't know about you but for me, these really are some great songs here but sadly, they don't get to be recognized by many. What do you think? :)

My Trixie Bitsy Doggie

Got nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon, so I decided to compose a song for my two beloved pets!

And now, I proudly present to you My Trixie Bitsy Doggie to the tune of The Itsy Bitsy Spider!

1..2..3.. AND!

My Trixie bitsy doggie run round and round the house

Out came my cat and tease her 'til she's mad

In goes my dad and put her back on leash

And my Trixie bitsy doggie just sit and stare and whine

Oh yeah! I'm so proud of myself!

I rock, dude!

I'm the man!

BWAHAHAHA!

Thinking to Forget

What is it like to have an amnesia? I mean yeah, basically you will forget some or maybe all of the things, people and events that you have recently encountered depending on the severity of the case. But what will be your first reaction right after losing your memory like facing people you're unsure of if you really know them or maybe like all of a sudden waking up in a place where you don't even have any clue how the heck you got there? What will be your first move? Who will you call first? Where will you go first?

Ironically, those questions above don't bother me at all if I will be having an amnesia. In fact, I kinda slightly want to experience it. It sounds crazy but sometimes I imagine myself having a retrograde amnesia where my memories will be erased from my mind and having to only remember my parents and my brother. This is my one big crazy imagination but just having the thought of it that it maybe kind of interesting, thrills me. Maybe it will seem like starting all over again, meeting everyone all over again and doing things that I used to do all over again. Maybe it will change me due to adapting a new lifestyle. Maybe it will change the way I see or treat the people I used to know or maybe it will change the things that I want to do or achieve. But the nice part of it I guess is that whatever embarrassing or humiliating situations that I had gone through will no longer be in my head. Not only that, but also all those depressing situations, all those hatred or anger that I had felt will also be vanished in my head. I don't know...many things may happen and I know things around me will change a lot. This means like having myself a new and hopefully a much better me. It will be like having an alternate life and having to actually live in it. Yeah, it is crazy, but somehow a thought of having an amnesia sometimes just keeps striking into my mind lately.

Just to be clear though, I do not want to have any physical injuries, but is that even possible??? Haha!

I Said NO.

For the past couple of years of no blogging, I struggled through many stuffs including my studies, my social life and even myself. Honestly speaking, 2011 has not been a good year for me but above all else, I thank God for letting me get through it all. Now comes 2012, I thank God once again for I am now on the verge of graduating.

In the midst of the struggles I've been through, I had realized now that I should have had chosen my priorities more wisely than I had did before. I am not going to commit that same mistake anymore. I will have to make sure this time to set my priorities straight and right once and for all.

I have realized that all those times that I should have rejected people with their favors but did not anyway has not helped me at all. But rejecting them was not an easy thing to do, I don't want to be rude, to disappoint them nor to have any conflicts between them. But this has to end if I really want to set my priorities right and to have enough time to fix myself. This is now the time that I should learn to say no.

NO...

• NO. I won't allow you to photocopy my notes and my handouts not unless you were absent due to an illness or whatsoever emergency that you've been through. I exerted effort to take down every single important details, and it's not for free.
• NO. I most certainly won't lend you my notes and bring it to your home to study it.
• NO. I won't wait for an hour just to do you a favor.
• NO. I won't reserve a seat for you in the class. It's your responsibility to come early in class and to reserve yourself your own seat.
• NO. I won't lend you my reviewer nor allow you to photocopy it. I have worked hard for it. It is your responsibility to make you one if you need it.
• NO. I won't edit your part of our thesis paper. That part was assigned to you, it is your resposibility to finish it. Hindi lang ikaw ang mag-aaral ng ibang subjects, ako rin.

Those sentences above had been spoken to be a yes. But unfortunately, the no counterpart for those will never be spoken forever. :)) But I will chose my words carefully from now on and give a nice "no" to them whenever necessary. =D

People please, just have a little bit sense of responsibility, okay? Then maybe you can all do your own selves your own favor, it will be more satisfying to you, trust me.
