boys before flowers

So, recently (and by recently i mean today.) I have been watching boys before flowers, a hit Korean TV show that is on hulu! (yay! god bless hulu!!) I watched the first two episodes, and man are they long;(there like an hour!) but they are so good!
If I was a TV critic I would totally rate the show with a big fat A!
Yes, it's a little cheese. And yes, it is a little dramatic, but! If i like it it couldn't be that cheese, and dramatic, could it? *puppy eyes*
Hehe just give it a try i know your going to love it!

Please note the shows entirely in Korean and only has English subtitles, sooo, you might ant to brush up on you reading!
(Especially since they speak Korean so fast!)

anyhow, here the first episode, Hope you like it!!

Happy 4th!



Hello!
Happy 4th to every one!
I hope it's a good day to ya'll! ;)

In celebration I have decided to put up a recipe I always use.
It's called curry rice!!

*This recipe it not entirely mine I have take recipe idea from other people and meshed them together with my own to make this.*

First you'll need some steamed rice! any kind of rice will do even though I always prefer a sweet rice with pear barley with semi brown rice. You can use what ever kind of rice you want!

To start off your going to need two kinds of curry powder one is Korean and one Japanese. s&b oriental curry powder is Japanese, and has a great taste! So, I use that one!
For the Korean curry powder I use Ottogi (오뚜기) curry powder, medium since the Japanese curry is rather spicy. I often prefer to not make my food "burn your tongue off" hot.

Now you will need:
1/2 or 1 cup of chicken breast, thigh, or some brisket meet. ( I normally use brisket.) {For vegetarians you can use some fried firm tofu!}

3 Tbsp of peas frozen, fresh, don't matter!

1 Idaho potato

1 white or yellow onion.

1/2 a cup of carrot.

1/3 of a zucchini; gotta love your zucchini! :D

And 2 cups of water.

Cut your potato, onion, carrot, and zucchini into small cubes.
Fry them all together with about 4-5 pinches of salt and pepper.
Cook until the vegetables are about a quarter of the way cooked.

Now cut your chose of meats, or for vegetarian firm tofu into 1/2 inch cubes.
Cook until it is all the way cooked. [don't forget to add some pepper and salt!]

Now in a large pan add potato, carrot, onion, zucchini, meet, or tofu. Along with two cups water.
Boil the water and then add your peas!

Now, for the sauce! {the best part!!}
In a bowl add 5 to 6 Tbsp of curry powder. ( you can do two spoons of Japanese and three Korean, of four Korean and 1 Japanese; It is your choice.)

And water until it is at a pancake mix consistency.
Then add the curry into your big sauce pan and cook for 5 min with constant stirring on medium heat.
After let sit for another five min and then serve. It should feed about four or five people.

Cherry on top award!




Heheheheeee :D
I'm so excited I got my first award!
Thanks to ahleessa!!!!
I can now proudly show off my new thing! It's located on your right! :)


And now My review on my lip balm.
I bought this like last year; It has a cooling feel to it. Which at first I didn't like but It grew on me!
I like how the chap-stick moisturized my lips, BUT I think it's a down fall that if you put the chap-stick on before you eat it leaves a funky flavor in your mouth.
I actually lost the minty one and bought a pomegranate one. that one I don't have a problem with funky flavors.
But the pomegranate one has to strong of a sweet smell in my opinion...
So, long story short, I like this brand of chap-stick. But I would still buy a different kind to try out.

Would I get this again?! Yes actually I would.

Thanks for reading!

Summer, Tis the season to have...

Sun screen!


Hehe, In Houston it's climbing in to the hundreds and the suns beating down; It's important to remember it the perfect conditions to damage your skin from extensive ultra violet rays from the sun. So sun block is a must if you don't want to have you what looks like age spots on your skin.

I know you say " oh but sun screen causes pimples on your skin!" :(
Ahh, but they have sun screen specifically designed to protect your skin and not leave you full of pimples. (He~ I should know I have supper oily skin.)
So, I currently like to use Neutrogenas' "Sport face" sunblock.
It's SPF 70 and is oil free! :D
so people like me don't have to deal with constantly washing my face!! *yay!*
I have been using it for about two months and so far its worked great.
The other thing I like about it is that after I apply it to my skin It doesn't feel heavy; It lets my skin breath, which I absolutely love! {I really don't like the feel of heavy sunblock.}.Oh, yes, It's also sweat proof. Hehe And I have put it to the test when I go to my wushu class there isn't any AC so I sweat a lot and It still stays on! :D

So, Hope every one has an awesome summer time! enjoy the pool! ;)
