Reunions, Untold Feelings, and Holiday Spirit- Director's Cut

I ASK AGAIN, WHERE THE SNOW AT? :( Artist: Fo~do
There's a limit to putting off anything. And maybe somewhere deep inside my frozen solid heart, I know that I should blog, and that I have all these pictures lying about ready to be used for better purposes. Today is one of those days when I get this feeling.
Actually I've wanted to write this since I got off school which was just last week, but I'm a lazy asshole like always and I never feel like doing this stuff because it takes too much effort I'm a lazy asshole.
You know when you meet up with someone you haven't talked to in so long, and both of you want to say so much that nothing comes right so you end up hugging and saying jumbles of word-mess? THAT'S ME 'N MY BLOG RIGHT THERE.
Here we are, face-to-face, kind of nervous, shy, not knowing what will come-- ok fuck this shit I'm going to get to the point now.
I just realized that I have nothing but pictures of cookies.................................................. Ok, let's say, <TIME TRAVEL> on the day I got off school, the morning was nice, the pancakes were blue and  the skies were fluffy. WAIT A MINUTE.. Actually the skies were rainy and the pancakes tasted like IDON'TEVENKNOW. Normally one could say it was unique: harder on the outside and cooked, while the insides flow out and give a nice balance of textures. I don't even know, man, those pancakes were WHACK.
Picture via hidden source. I was too busy wondering why they added blue food colouring to take pictures of the.. smurf pancakes???
Then all was well, we performed ok when we were up there. Looked back on video and got sad. Some things are left to be seen from one perspective, well yes, well no, well.... I'm not sure :c. We talked to our old band friend and took some weird photos but the picture is not in my possession so I'll draw it with my best abilities:
Good enough, right? Even better :) Speaking of friendship and ALPACAS! I got this HEEHEE
This is why handmade gifts are amazing.(thank you daphne) Lots of little things here on, I saw lots of cookies, too many cookies in my time..
Unicorn cookie.
Mysterious white stuff cookies.
More mysterious white stuff cookies.
Remind me to take more pictures of interesting cookies I find this season. But the holiday rush is almost over anyways :c.
Made weird crafts. Cat: MY BODY IS READY <3. The cat just wants your loving :).
Here's me bragging that I got cards and gifts(sortofs) today. I got a gift certificate that I used within the 2 hours I got it and a card saying that I will be punched in the face.. I don't even know.
~THE HOLY GRAIL OF CARDS~
Legit the best thing I have seen in a while. 100 POINTS TO.. GRI..FFI... What?! In the picture I'm herding alpacas during the alpacalypse. WARN YOUR FRIENDS EVERYONE, KIM JONG IL DIED AND THAT'S THE FIRST SIGN. 
In the end, I have too many pictures that I can't connect the right dots and everything has been a jumbled mess. This is what reuniting with an old friend feels like ;_;. Idk because I'll never have friends though :c. I'll probably blog again with some pictures of cookies or something silly or Christmas gifts so I can brag and brag and brag and brag....................................................... Orsomething.

I saved this for last because I'm not sure where it goes.
 My brother's friend gave it to me and it was MIGHTY TASTY.

GOOD NIGHT, AND TO ALL..
A HAPPY BLOG TRIP!

FUUUUUUUD










Something compelled me to make a blog post today.. And all I have is this collection of all the sweet stuff. I don't have anything else to say ._. I've been thinking of switching to wordpress.... Who reads my blog anyways? ;_; If you do please leave a comment here or in the chat box.

Schoools Out For Winter!

This one isn't the coolest picture I have in my folder, but basically sums up how I feel about winter break.
FUCK YEAH! \o/ Artist: 108
Hello everyone! There're a bunch of things I want to go through today but first let me say this. FUCK YES SCHOOL IS OUT FOR 2 WEEKS! GOING TO HAVE THE TIME OF MY LIFE. -ahem- Sort of, that is. I'll see if I can do some special Christmas thing for my blog this year.  Look the fuck forward to it.
Let me continue from here. I first started this post on the 18th (Sat.) and by now I have a Christmas theme song for you and some other things perhaps. Prepare yourself, this is a post where I will fit everything you have missed from my posts. The rest of this paragraph below is from 18th:
So by this time I would be posting pictures of the last day of school but it was actually very uneventful. Santa's breakfast (school tradition with performances + food + skinny white man in a costume) wasn't very good this year ._. . To top that off we had a lot of problems with the secret santa event we were trying to do, but nonetheless, thank you very much Mika (MAMA) for the wallet and candy :D! It was fun exchanging presents with everyone :). Nothing will go well when 5 different people do their own version of a Bruno Mars song all with inexperienced guitarists and a quiet vocalist. Well, it's about time I've done this so here we go:
Today's song is... Jazzy HOLIDAY MUSIC!


Well, not forgetting who I am, what's better than a jazzy Christmas?! A classic one at that too :P. This song is called "Skating" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio for the "A Charlie Brown Christmas" record. Nothing sets the holiday like a Charlie Brown special, right? I'll be back with holiday music until Christmas btw :).


Now with the rest of my post:
I'll continue here on. Renovation is done now. But last Tuesday when I came home.. I found something very strange.
The door and water machine were sitting in the living room.. Not too far from

The fridge and oven.

Kinda sucks to get kicked out of your living space because someone has to change the tiles right? I feel for those appliances XD. Well, it was only for 2 days. The tiles are settled in fine now and soon the counters will go next! Surprisingly I haven't taken a picture so I don't really have any before and after pictures to show you.. Sorry? Maybe in my next post.
Meanwhile, we've got a nice array of things we bought in the meanwhile. Not sure why I took pictures of these but I might as well post them up before they rot in my pictures folder.
We got Turkish delight. I really like this stuff :D.

First time I've seen ramune in a PET bottle. I can actually take out the glass ball and everything (TWISTY CAP). If you don't get what I mean you need to go to your local asian grocer and ask for some RAH-MOO-NEH (stop calling it RAH-moon) AKA AMAZING SODA.

Got this cute drink we found at T&T. One for my sister, one for me. It was NOT beer XD. The label in red says "Children's drink". Interesting 60's themes (if I am correct. I don't know anything about periodical time). If you're curious, it tasted like fizzy sweet stuff. Pretty average.

And here's my latest bit. I did more cooking ._. . Don't be surprised now, but it seems like when I have nothing better to post about I'll post pictures of the things I have consumed. I made crêpes. Now let me educate you before you make a fool or yourself. Contrary to popular pronunciation it is not called a "CRAY-PE". I only got this recently but you see the little hat on the E, it must symbolize something. You make that French noise where you gather all the spit in the back or your mouth so it should sound like "KUUU-HNGHHHAGH-E-P". If you can't do that like me and everyone who doesn't want to sadly humiliate themselves, just says "CREH-P" :D.
In all honesty I actually don't know how crepe's are made.. I see them as thin pancakes with filling and such. Any crepe masters out there, I'm sorry, I don't mean to disgrace your food and culture, I just.. Wanted to eat something sweet and I didn't have any real ingredients to make anything else..
There. It's my thin pancake. I made 3 from basic instructions I found online. If you're curious it's this: 1 cup flour, 1 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 eggs, and 2 tbsp oil.

Because this is what crepes look like on TV. I've only eaten crepes twice in my life.. And including this I guess 3. I like it so next time I'll bring whipped cream with it :). Didn't know what to put in so I found some nutella and banana. Then there's the semi-bitter baking chocolate that I didn't want to waste too.. IT WAS FUCKING DELICIOUS. I WAS CONVINCED I COULD GO VERY FAR FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES until I realized because I cooked it with a wok and the center was a little thick. I'll try harder next time. My mom and brother (AND ME) really liked it anyways.
This basically concludes my "to this point" post and I'll probably post later this week with a perhaps better topic :P~.
I'll start piling up the winter pictures I've been compiling :9! I want our town to snow sparkles like this :).
Also that I honestly don't know who the artist is for anyone who would ever wonder. Sorry.
Have a nice week~!

What's Cookin'?

I'm hoping I haven't already posted this online somewhere.. Anyways, Artist: ME. HAWHAW
It is Saturday evening and I have found myself on the computer. This time, looking for pictures to submit to the Newspaper Club. I've already sent in one so, I might as well finish that up with another 4. Maybe I'll even get my own page for this. LET'S HOPE FOR COLOUR! (We'll never get colour, we print on toilet paper lol). Here're.. 2 of them I sent in (including picture above).
I took all these, no matter how shitty, please don't take as your own.
I don't expect anyone to though.

Wondering how they'll look.. I edited them but the originals are still online somewhere, you have to find it though :). I also fixed a few pictures I took a while ago, maybe I'll submit them too.. I don't even know what's good -sigh- lol.
Anyone wanna know my connection to photograph? ..*AHEM. I used to really like taking pictures (still do). I took a lot. None of them were good looking. Then I started understanding what photography was and how a camera worked and stuff. I took some pictures of people for them, you know, did a few small shots here and there, you know LOLOL. It is a small hobby now. If I find a beautiful camera I'd like to buy maybe I'll start capturing the world's beauties again (I don't mean kidnapping pretty girls lol). Not for now though. I'm not actually here to ramble about my shitty pictures so..
Here we go:
Guess what I'm making? CAKE. LOL, AGAIN. THIS IS MY OWN ATTEMPT WITH LAYERED CAKE. DAPHNE, WATCH. AND. LEARN ROFL (JK). Actually my sister and I made this together so yes, we worked together on this. You will find out what kind of cake it is at the end.

Whipping the cream for the.. Stuff between the cake layers.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
Some whiles later, we put the cake mix in the pan..

Making the caramel sauce for the cake. 

etc

I didn't take pictures of the caramel but this is the caramel WITH the whipped cream.

We add the butter.
Meanwhile..

Yay! We're done! NOW WE LET THAT SHIT SIT AND COOL DOWN.

Slice that baby, because we didn't want to make 4 layers (orig. suggestion).
We cut the recipe.

Spread that whipped cream.
..We could've waited a little longer so the cream wouldn't melt on top.
But this is it :D!

Sad little slice. It wasn't this small actually.

If you're wondering where we got this recipe, here. The book is called Delicious Creamy Desserts and this is what it would've looked like if we were awesome or we were moms who were English cooks. Also if we used the original 4 layer recipe.

Well. Everyone liked the cake, and that's what matters because it was fuckin' delicious.

Oh yea, the cake was called.. Something like delicious caramel layer cake. Which is what it exactly is. I'd like to bake more things from this book before we have to return it to the library, so look forward to them those posts :D.
I now end this post with a strikingly beautiful video. So beautifully epic I CAN'T NOT share it.

See you soon, World!
