Ipad

For a second there I thought Apple Inc. was going to start selling domestic goods. :P

Anyway, here is there latest product and because of their advanced brains like Scott Forstall, Jony Ive, and Bob Mansfield, I shall never be satisfied with what I have. ( - . - )



10hr battery life
$499
touch screen
inspiring music in the background
portable
(what's not to like?...i guess we'll have to wait for the deficiencies)

At least they used cool movies like Star Trek! WOOT! WOOT!

AH-HA! I know who needs this....( ^ _ ^ ) Time to get rid of that VAIO Laptop downstairs.

College & Deserts

No more winter break. Sad day.
The Spring Semester finally started. I'm not sure if I can say that I'm happy with my current schedule. Classes from 11am - 7pm. Hmph....but that of course is only on Tuesdays & Thursdays. I was going to be 11am - 10pm, but my parents wouldn't allow me to continue with that kind of a schedule, so I dropped the class that I really wanted to take, which was Korean II. :(
Well, this post is about Cupcakes, Frozen Yogurt, and Elephants.
The sunday before MLK day, my sister, my cousins, and I decided to have a sweet day. Kehehe.
Although a cold day, we stopped at Yogen Fruz, a forzen yogurt place that allows you to create your frozen yogurt flavor. CREATIVITY right there. I always get green tea & blue berries mixed together and then top it off with mochi or blueberries.
Next we enjoyed a stop at Sprinkles! I hear their CEO is a cupcake. Just kidding. I believe they are a company that started in Beverly Hills. They sell cupcakes basically. Cupcakes for you, cupcakes for you brothers, sisters, cousins, mothers, fathers, children and DOGS. Weird...I wonder if the doggie cupcakes are the same or better....Anyway, they sell drinks too, I believe.


So....after that we had more frozen yogurt at orange cup.

During the first day of college the topic of elephants just kept coming up. That day I wore my necklace with an elephant on it. I was not aware that the day would significantly be marked by an elephant.
SO! Elephants. First day of spring semester and in my 2nd class we had free write topics. We got to the second topic and we had to write about elephants. Whatever came to mind about elephants. It was quite interesting to hear all the responses. Later that day for lunch I got pinkberry. (oh my love for frozen yogurt~) Anyway the server noticed I had an elephant on my necklace and asked me if it was my favorite animal. It isn't quite my FAVORITE, but I like them. (It was just weird how people kept talking about elephants that day.


Thats what I've been doing for the past few days. I hope you guys kicked off your new semester well ( ^ _ ^ ) stay safe and lets have great days to come.

Home-made Presents

So, In a recent previous blog I talked about how I was working on projects for christmas. Well I was making gifts for my friends :P
I was trying to get my hand use to crafts (since I want to fashion design one day)
anyway...Here are some pictures of one of the projects I was making.

Project One
- Tiny hat headband
- Jeweled headband
- jeweled wristband
- tutu
- graphic tee

-The Tiny Hat/Wristband/Headband-


At Hobby Lobby I bought a tiny top hat and decorated it with knit ribbon from dollar tree, pearl branches from Michael's and and old school locket.
Then I bought black & mirror jewels from Michael's to decorate the wristband & headband. (I used a glue gun &/or super glue as the adhesive)

-The Graphic Tee-


First I looked for a picture of my friend's favorite singer. I thresholded the picture on a computer program called GIMP. Then I sketched it a few times. Next I bought hanes white tees at walmart for about $9 for a pack of 5. I used an old tee to practice on (like in the picture). After I felt confident enough to do the actual graphic tee I got a permanent fabric pen (black) and sketched out the picture. Next I used fabric paint to color it in.



I forgot to take a picture of the tutu. but I got the idea from a blogger I follow.
Here's a link to the actual post. (It's the post at the bottom.)


Project Two
-White Wolf Ears

That wasn't that great. The results weren't as good as I had hoped. (I was using a glue gun to keep everything together, and I much rather of used a thread to keep all together but I haven't gotten a sewing machine just yet).
ANYWAY...perhaps I'll re-attempt to make better wolf ears.


Well. Basically that was all the Do-It-Yourself I could give you. Hope you guys got awesome presents from your friends...

12/25/09 - 12/31/09

Here's a little picture diary of my winter break in California. (mostly for my cousin's Debut "18th birthday")

Flight - (Dallas,TX - Sacramento, CA)

(first half of flight)

My brunch


Thanks to my Uncle, I was able to get first class and fly comfortably. (^_^)



(second half of the flight)


I was unable to capture every moment on camera...
Basically we...
-played Cranium,
- ate late dinners,
-did some Parkour,
-had car raves,
-played charades,
-knocking out in groups of 2's 3's and 4's.

Yogofina

Before this we ate at In n' Out, well kind of. We had to eat in the car & outside because in n' out was WAY crowded...something about girl's softball teams.

Shopping

There was a department store sized Forever 21 :). I believe it replaced Gottschalks.
We went to H&M and it was basically time for the mall to close so we didn't get a lot of shopping done, but hey, we got some shopping done.

Flight - (San Jose, CA - Dallas, TX)


That was only during lift off...I was too tired to get the landing, but yea, that was my trip. I hope you all had a wonderful winter break, and if you're still on your winter break, like me....I hope you're still having a great one.

Bye-bye 09

The year 2009 was one of the MOST eventful year of my life. So much has changed.
The end of the year was the toughest...but with family I can depend on, I was able to get through the tough time. I pray that my whole family feels the same way.

I love you guys, and I thank God for everyone of you. Together we'll make 2010 more memorable.
