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.

G-A-C-O

Hey, Hey, everyone

So over my break so far I've been busy with projects here an there. ( ^ _ ^ )
When Christmas passes perhaps I'll upload some pictures of my finished projects.

In the meantime I just wanted to let you in on the other stuff I've been doing over my winter break.

Gera Apartment Cook Out :D or I call it GONROE APARTMENT COOK OUT!
(basically, my sister hosted a potluck/cookout at her house)

the guest list?
well...my-self, my 2 cousins, and my sister.

Mblaq-Vogue Girl

I'd love to be apart of a photoshoot once.
I can style, or try my hand at being a make-up artist.
or...
hairstyling.

Idk. I got a long ways to go.

until next time. enjoy the video.

btw. love those cats. esp the brown & goldish one.

As if there weren't enough questions...

Here is a....well I can't say "little" video, but anyway, here is a documentary that I watched about the last days. The host is a bit bias towards not believing the End times, so If you do believe in the Second coming of Christ and it makes you angry to hear opposite side of the matter, then I may have to advise you not to watch it, or if you are easily downed by the end of the world, also not the recommended video for you.

All in all, the video was interesting, it made more questions pop into my head....but I don't believe my faith has been compromised because of it.



Host: Tony Robinson
Documentary: The Dooms Day Code
Run time: 1:40:09 (roughly 2 hrs )

Misconceived

So I found this in my book.....It's kind of a terrible picture. I suppose the illustrator didn't exactly see what he/she did. So it was a little odd when I had to answer this question...
아이는 어디에 있는가? (Where is the child?)

5 Year Old = PRODIGY

Here is my brother's little city. It amazes me what he can do.

Star Trek the Musical?

My favorite captain of Star Trek would like to sing you a lovely song :)

Astro Boy

I've been watching the 2003 Astro Boy series in honor of the movie that will be coming out October 23. (^_^)
I can not wait. Hopefully summit does a good job of making a movie out of the series.

Big Bird Please Come Home

Hehehe, this is pretty amazing. I love installations. Artists who do installations tend to amaze me :) and I love this giant nest. I would love to be able to go out on one. Big Bird! you forgot your home!

The Great Swallow


It was made by Benjamin Verdonck in the Rotterdam Weena Tower.


you can find more interesting installations here: http://www.oddee.com/item_96507.aspx

Sunrise-Sunset

It's been a long while since I've updated. I just don't have anything interesting to share with you :P
Ever since I left Washington I haven't really been amused. Well, I'll just share with you some of my favorite pass-times. :)

Avatar:The Last Air Bender

wikipedia says: The series follows the adventures of the main protagonist Aang and his friends, who must save the world by defeating the evil Fire Lord and ending the destructive war with the Fire Nation.
Basically that. I think if you give it a chance, you'll learn to like it. I especially like the comical relief :)

another one of my activities is playing:
Sims 3 (^_^)

I've always been a fan of Sims (since the first one). Now we're at 3. Graphics aren't EXEMPLARY but if you liked barbies as a child then here you go, modern day barbies mixed with technology (makes me a girly nerd I suppose :P)

Aubrey Graham

that's his real name. Hahah, Drake, I'll never know why you picked that name as your "stage" name. (maybe it's his middle name)

hehe. I find nothing wrong with Aubrey. Anyway, so back when I watched Degrassi, he was Jimmy and he ended up being the innocent bystander who didn't deserve the wheel chair.

BUT! Now he's dropping verses like none-other. Who knew Canada had one of the good rappers?




well, I'm a Fan. :)

Tao Kae Noi

has some good "seaweed chips" hahaha. they're addicting.

next time you find yourself in an asian market. go get some seaweed chips, with the name TAO KAE NOI on it. :) they're delicious!

Memory Lane

or Capelin Drive

tehe.



here's a little piece of my history...of course the sign for the street wasn't there.

G-Shockin' the World

G-nie here. I just got myself two Casio made watches. the red G-Shock g-lide, and the white Baby-G shock resistant.
I like'em both. They are EJ Ouji influenced to me. hahah.



here is the Red G-shock G-lide
