I'm back!

These days, I feel like I experienced a lot of things, both OLD and NEW. Hence, I thought I'd get back into this, and start writing again. Although today, it is getting late, and I'm not exactly in tip-top shape, *COUGH* hence. I shall end this short. I wrote this today, just as a reminder to myself (as this is why I created this blog...to let out whatever I have in mind that I want to spill out =]) that I will do more of this once again =].

Also thinking of possibly going a little further to the PUBLIC in my blogging. Aside from my random ramblings, but also to share the things I've experienced, what I learned and gained from it, to share these knowledge in hopes to INSPIRE and INFLUENCE others out there (in a positive manner of course).


One of many thoughts I come up with and I live by:

"LIVE YOUR DREAM NOT ANYONE ELSE'S"

=]

[mind you that I do not try to claim this (and others I will come up with as I blog more) as my very own quotes..as I do not know if anyone might have claimed copyright for this. Thus, no copyright infringement intended]


Good night from Singapore =]. (as I have seen the world in different places, I shall change accordingly wherever I am =] I have barely traveled much, but I shall in the coming future and hopefully continue to blog as I live my life and travel =])

"T'was the night before Valentine's" XD

HELLO! =D

So~ like always~ I planned to blog this entry earlier~ but since I have not uploaded the photos, I decided to blog about this today instead XD. Anyways~ t'was just going to be another regular day [oh...for all those who almost forgot like I did, the 14th of February IS a.k.a St. Valentine's Day] I decided to indulge myself with a 'Serendipity' movie night at home~ Ah~ It was BRILLIANT ... Oh~ in case I need to remind any of you out there what movie I'm referring to, here's a reference [NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED! XD]

I swear there's something about this ... hmm .. somewhat conspicuous idea of "DESTINY" of a movie makes it simple and somewhat ... silly to some people ... but SERIOUSLY ... this movie holds more meaning and so much more~ like...seriously..so MUCH MORE, making it ... "as I might have stated before ... wat was it...Ah .. yes.... BRILLIANT" hahaha and no...I'm not just referring to the already BRILLIANT CAST of John Cusack and of course...need I really mention her name? KATE BECKINSALE...yes...ah...that beautiful English accent and fair skin and the freckles of Cassiopeia~ haha XD .*charmed*.

Anyways~ I decided not to spoil the story for all those poor restless souls out there who have not seen it...but SERIOUSLY~ I ENCOURAGE YOU! no  no .... I ORDER YOU!! to watch this movie. Brilliant script, brilliant characters, brilliant in so many ways, yet not in an overly sophisticated way~ so, IF somehow you actually think this is gonna be too intense like ... "INCEPTION" kind of intense, you are wrong~ [don't get me wrong..it's a BRILLIANT movie too] and if you think this is a silly love movie like erm...I don't know...I can't think of one on the spot right now, think again~ it's your modern day 'Sleepless in Seattle'! [ah yes...another one of my classic favorites~] =D

Anyways~ now that the more important discussion is over~ thought I'd get to another highlight of my wonderful Sunday evening delight~ I HAD PHO!!! To those of you who aren't familiar with the term PHO~ it is a delightful Vietnamese dish~ it is what most people more familiar with as a "noodle soup"~

Observe the following:

Before serving

Served~

I have lost count of when was the last time I had Pho....back when I hailed in good ol' FREEZING COLD Minnesota, anyone can find Pho around every corner of a street...yes...it was THAT common there, and thus, u can only expect the very best...I gotta say ... I was slightly disappointed since I had better expectations, but hey! I'm grateful and it was PHO! I haven't had for almost one and a half year now!! so yes~ there you have it~ my wonderful simple and relaxing Sunday evening~ in a nutshell~ =]

Belated news on my previous !Friday Adventure!

Hello my readers!! [not much yet at this point..] Anyways! TO MY FRIENDS! haha ^____^ =]

So! Haven't been updating, but Last Friday! [YAY! T.G.I.F!! XD]

Anyways~ LAST FRIDAY~ went on a lunch outing with Mommy dearest [who works hard at what she does best...yes...cooking....on that note...she kicks so much ass in the kitchen it's just not fair for all the other Moms out there ;p] [Anyways~ decided to take her out of the Kitchen this time around and treat her to somethin nice =D]. We went to this Japanese restaurant that I haven't been to~ =D hmm...gotta say that the food was very good~ =D Hmm...I'm not sure if I should be doing any form of promoting here...but o well! It's my first post about foods I had! so yes! Went out to eat at Tokigawa! ... wait..Takigawa? no no .. Tokigawa~ XD [Author's note (that would be me...XD): We don't usually eat fancy foods...but she deserves a break! =D It is almost Chinese New Years after all...and she's been at it in the kitchen like crazy XD so...yeah...just wanna get this straight...not like I eat fancy all the time nor am I trying to brag about eating fancy foods...Oh! speaking of foods! I guess I will make a "Food for...AWESOME thoughts" blog! XD =]]

So~ without further ado~ for your viewing and salivating pleasure~

We had:

Chawan Mushi,

Nabeyaki Udon, and

a Gomoku Kamenashi! [Don't ask me what that means...it didn't give me an actual translation of what the word meant on the menu XD. Oh~ and for all you curious individuals who MIGHT not know what this is yet (like me ^__^;;) it's steamed rice with "stuff" on it~ XD like eg, salmon, shrimp, etc~]

Anyways~ in conclusion, it was good. =D and we were satisfied! Oh, and yes~ for your information, my Mom can't do "raw" foods~ so yes~ she's not the biggest fan of sushi~ so~ for all you readers out there with similar problems [hmm although I don't really come across people who dislike sushi these days...] try ordering these dishes~ =D

ALRIGHT! Now! Onto the next topic! *psyched!*

Erm...Here's another fact about me~ I'm into fashion [WHOA! XD]. Haven't really treat myself to any actual shopping for myself lately...so today was definitely refreshing....! Saw a few sales here and there~ and did some ACTUAL shopping! =D [yay for me~ >___< XD] [Hmm...which reminds me ... maybe I will open a blogspot for "Things I wear-and-wore" too in the near future! =D]

Well then~ that summed up my little adventure on Friday 01.28.2011~ Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend last week and a WONDERFUL one this weekend~ ^______^ =D

[Oh...and for the readers~ Yes~ I've decided to change the font style~ Yes...me like this better now...so yeah...that's pretty much it~ XD]

"The" Late Introduction ^___^;;

So...I guess I kinda jumped the gun by starting my blog with "Today's Menu~" XD

Hmm seeing this post and "Today's Menu" I guess it's quite obvious to everyone that this is my very first time making my very own blog....I know it's not that great, but hey~ I'm here to share the joys and interesting I see and do~ haha XD

Oh neat! I just realized how to do highlights and text color change~ now...all I need to do is to figure out how to design my blog posts....OH ! RIGHT! Onto my Introduction....

I guess I'm making this blog .... because ... well..for starters .. let's just say, I'm trying to finally step up and make some changes once again =]...started a couple of days ago and still goin =] .. Secondly, I guess up til now I never realized how much people need to speak out...and I guess, after FINALLY reading my friends' blogs which happened sometime this year, I felt like, people do feel better about expressing themselves...and I guess...here I am~ finally~ writing things =] I realized that this gives me the opportunity to finally write out what I feel and what I want to share with people I know and/or sometimes with everyone in general I guess~ =]

I guess somewhere inside I've always wanted to share a lot of things...or sometimes even thought about writing my very own ... novel? [well...I guess a NOVEL is an over statement at this point in time right now...] but yes~ maybe just share my views with people~ and no...you DON'T have to agree with everything I say~ but yea~ like everyone I guess I just want to express myself~ =]

Anyways~ I guess that's all for now~ I got lost somewhere in my train of thought~ anyways~ maybe I'll write an Introduction Part II! hah! [Yes...I know there are no such things as "Introduction: Part II" but hey! it's my blog! HAH! XD]


In any case~ a note of warning to you readers out there~ As you might have noticed, my writings can be extra long and tedious due to all the "...." and "XD" [if you find yourself asking what eX Dee is, it's a face! Hahaha closing your eyes laughing? Get it? XD] and a LOT of other random things~ why? Because.....it's more expressive that way! =D
Aside from all the emoticon scattered all over, sometimes...my writing piece are probably really random and not very informative or maybe....I might one day get a comment from someone saying "Reading your posts makes me dumber each day..." but hey! Haha I'm random at times! =D I'll try to at least make sure my posts are interesting by adding photos here and there! yay~ I mean...who doesn't love pictures right? XD


Anyways~ read on~ sit back~ relax~ and enjoy~ =] Oh~ and feel free to put up suggestions under comments~ or maybe ... some tips on how to edit my boring posts background and layouts~ haha Cheers! =D


Peace~ ^_______^

"Today's menu"~

So~ aside from all the other "IMPORTANT" things I did today...right...XD

I was just browsing around youtube...yes...I'm a youtube addict [what can I say? that site really does wonders...seriously...who would have thought this website turn into what it is today??? Did u c it comin?

"AaaaWwwwwwww~"  I know right?? that's all that I thought about when I was watchin this...cool parents editing this video~ =D *thumbs up* =D

Anyways~ aside from youtubing, I decided to catch up on some reading that I have left behind for quite a while. Yes...it's true that I tend to get distracted easily...-____-;; nevertheless, I decided to read "Eat Pray Love" again! Yes! Written by Elizabeth Gilbert! I have heard good things about it ... but I finally got around to reading it myself and I gotta say ... as often as I tend to stop reading, every time I DO get in the "groove" of reading it again, it never fails...O wait... [CAPS to show exclamation XD] it NEVER FAILS to make me think to myself..."sheesh...this is BRILLIANT" so yes~ props and credits to the awesome Elizabeth Gilbert! =D

Okay! Now~ that's the end of today's little rambling! O wait! I know this didn't happen today, but hey~ it's my first time posting up my random blogging, so I thought I'd bring this up! Thanks to my awesome friend who shared this video with me, who goes by the name...wait...initial of "T" [I dunno if she would mind me bringing her name up...so I'll just stick to an initial for now...Thanks T!] Who is also a HUGE fan of DANCE as I am and who recently introduced me to A LOT of things that are dance-related and that I have been so CLUELESS about haha XD here it is! FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE! PURE "MINI" AWESOMENESS!
