Woop Woop SUPRISE!

Summer break started! (well like a week ago e u e, but I was lazy  ♥ ) I'm going to China on July 4th so if Blogger works then I'll be blogging from China  ♥ :DD Going to be gone for 2 months :(. But I can't wait to try yummy and exotic food o u o :(:) (lol x3) Today's weather is nice, it's sunny and all that, a plant started growing in my withered plant filled bottle so I cleaned it out and put it back into the cleaner bottle! :D (too lazy to take pictures though) Today I also had time to experiment with a craft I've been wanting to try. So here's a tutorial! :D

How to make a budget under $5 bulletin board
Items needed:
  • Foam board
  • scissors
  • tape (clear duct tape)
  • wrapping paper
  • String (any kind as long as it's durable)
What makes this so cheap? You can get the foam board, clear duct tape and wrapping paper at the 99 cents store :D! Or you can reuse last year's Christmas wrapping paper. I'm pretty sure most of you have scissors and string at home :DD

Steps:
Step 1: Get the foam board and draw a line in a middle (you can do this with a marker gently, or gently press the scissor into the foam board to make imprints)

Step 2: Stab many times along the line :D (this will make it easier to cut and also makes your stress relieved! (lol) (jk) ♥ )

Step 3: Cut on the line, it should be easier since you stabbed through the stiff foam
Step 4: Place the 2 pieces on top of each other and tape the edges together ( basically we're enforcing it to make it stronger and so that thumbtacks won't poke through and hurt anyone, so like this: 1 big board= cut in half ( 2 pieces)= tape into 1 piece=stronger) (sorry if I'm confusing you o-o;)

Step 5: Turn it on the back side (whatever side looks worse) and you can add the string this will be like a hanger so cut a long piece of string fold in half and tape it so it forms like an incomplete triangle? ( I also used stapler to make sure it stays on) You can also attach this after the wrapping paper if you feel like it will be troublesome
Step 6: cut out a huge piece of wrapping paper (like two of your boards on top of each other) and put the good side facing down. (wrapping the board is optional, you can leave it like a blank surface, but I think wrapping paper makes it look better) Wrap, be sure to cover the edges, but you don't have to cover the whole back area, after you finish wrapping be sure to tape down any paper sticking out

Step 7: You're done! , you can choose to not have the string and not hang it, hang it by using a nail or thumbtack :D Have fun organizing your reminders and papers on this cheap bulletin board

* The good thing about having two layers of foam board is that the thumbtacks won't poke through so your fingers won't get pricked o u o *

~ When I made this I accidently put the wrapping paper upside down xD.. so now my bears are hanging upside down ; ~ ;, at least they'll be good at handstands? xD~
( I thought of this myself so I didn't steal any ideas or anything o-o; I just never saw this so though I would post this o u o)

:D Thanks for reading, I'll upload pictures when I'm not lazy = v =

~Don't say everday is the same, it is only the same because you're not changing the way the days are, so try something new!~

I'll miss you gals/guys when I go to china if I can't blog ;~;

Tomato Scrub ♥

Items:
♥ Tomato (with stem!)                          
♥ Sugar
♥ Knife

Steps:


* Step 1: Put the tomato on it's side and cut the stem off (not as thin as just skin though)
Step 2: Dip the tomato in sugar, and start massaging your skin with it : D (or you can sprinkle the sugar on it) (with the stem side facing up!)
Step 3 : Throw away the tomato stem part and eat the tomato >:D
* It's best to do this after you wash your face or a nice hot shower , because it will exfoliate your dead skin cells and also replenish with the vitamins in the tomato :D *


Ways to eat the tomato:
♥ Make soup with it :D! (just boil with some water and add some whisked egg if wanted :D(be sure to stir  it after you add the egg XD) 
♥ Cut it up, sprinkle some sugar and eat it >:D!
♥ Suck the juice like a vampire :3, then eat the rest
♥ Cut wedges and put it into a salad or eat plain!
♥ Make a sandwich and put it in >:D
♥ Make pasta sauce with it
♥ Chomp away xD!~


♥ Enjoy your tomato :D! 



Lotte Waffle Cookies ( ・ω・ )





Rating: Taste: ♥  Look(+package) : ♥ Price: 
Lotte Waffles is what it is called. The packaging is a box and inside are 2 packets of cookies. I think each packet comes with 4-6 cookies? On the box it says "European style", and  it is gold and red xD. The cookies are shaped like roughly cut round waffles. They are thin and crispy though, (kind of like one of those asian crackers that are shaped like an egg roll and has sesame seeds on it except not flaky?). It is sweet and crunchy, but not too sweet. :D I like it because it doesn't make one feel sick, but it is a crunchy thin sweet cracker (cookie) :D. (and you can't really taste the butter and sugariness like in American cookies) It is 95 calories per packet, and I baught it for 2 for 99 cents at woori :D! I reccomend it, if it isn't too expensive :)

YAY School is almost over, promotion is on Thursday!~ (≧∇≦)
     I had a busy week, everything's going in a blur with finals and stuff. I tried out for orchestra, but unfortunantly I got into the lowest one :(, but it's alright because I'll be with my friends! :D 


    I went to a korean market yesterday called Woori and they have such cheap food. I also went for this free makeup samples, but ended up buying stuff for $50? D: Anyways I got strawberries (a huge box for $3.99 ♥ ) , a huge watermelon from hmart (and it was really sweet :D), and tomatoes from wholesome choice xD. Anyways from woori I got some korean snacks :3 (lotte waffles, corn puff chips, chocolate mushrooms, and stuff xD) unfortunantly I think my chocolate mushrooms melted into a block again.. but they are still good xD! I will be posting a review on the waffles and maybe if I'm not lazy the sunscreen and hydrating toner thing from amore (lineage; amore is the makeup store) Also I will post a tomato scrub? :D (using the stems) 


         On friday, my school had a promotion dance, it was pretty fun.. but I mostly stayed, ate yummy food, and dragged my friend into the photo booth (because she looked so cute with her hair down xD) I left early though :D, everyone was so pretty! The food was pasta and the desserts were like cupcakes,donuts,cookies and they also had punch or lemonade (not sure which one) The garlic bread was amazing; I think I'm a pro at food stacking ;D (jking xD) 
    
      Today is fathers day so happy fathers day to all the daddies out there :D! (my family baught polos for my dad and we ate these yummy asian cold dishes o u o). Earlier today, I was cleaning my room (hardcore cleaning >:D!) and my desk looks so clean now (I clean by sections) I got rid of more old clothes in my closet, and I realized "wow, I used to have so much clothes!" but I can't wear them anymore because I outgrew them :(. I still need to clean other areas xD!


On July 4th I will be leaving for china! :D So I'll be sure to post blog posts from there ♥ (reviews of food, things I did, just stuff xD)






♥ Hope you have a great summer, or pass your finals with A+++++ XD 
♥ Thanks for reading!


♥ Don't always rush, stop sometimes and look around, then you will spy life's little pleasures

Radishes are dancing like a boss o u o

    I had a good day today... but it may be my last good day D:! (joking) I just have auditions this week and my Spanish final next week -SIIIGGHHH- hope I do well > u <. I got pink eye this week (or it was bug bites on my eye) and then a bug bit my other eye @ n @ , then half of my face was bitten. (but happily the tiger balm did it's magic and it disappeared! :D) My mom bought white radish yesterday and then cut it and dried it <3 Now our garden looks like an "Asian" garden. (An "Asian" garden is just my preference of the kind of gardens I usually see that Asians have (not to be raciest >.<!!!)) Basically an "Asian" garden has a clothes line, a place where you dry herbs and food, lots of flowers, food, and a tree, and it's pretty green and healthy xD! 
Anyways here is how to make dried white radish:  
1. Clean the big white radish and cut off the leaves
2. Cut it in half (hot dog way) then cut the 2 pieces in half again (hamburger way) and lastly cut it in half (hot dog way)
3. Cut a slit into the pieces
4. Hang it on the clothes line by inserting the pieces onto the clothes line.

   Today I went to an Vietnamese town, and there was a LOT of restaurants for Pho or Thai or rice cake xD! (the green layered one is coconut and it is very creamy and yummy) (unfortunately I didn't bring my camera so I don't have any) They also had this huge food market , which was like a supplier for  restaurants? Best of all, there was this huge container full of... STRAWBERRY BOBA (and mango and honey dew <3 ) Though it was expensive > w < . They also had a lollicup (yum <3 ) I got pineapple tea this time ; u ;.


Be sure to watch the sky on June 5th, 3-8pm , for the Venus transit in front of the sun! (it is a rare event only possible to see again in 2117) <3.


Thank you for reading my blog! <3 :)


P.S. Radish dances in anime are so funny xDDD
