Another Day

Hello my kawaii potato chips!

Don't ask me why I labeled you guys as potato chips... because I'm guessing that's what I'm craving right now? =_= So how are you guys doing and what are you currently craving? It is 10:54AM as I start this blog entry and have no idea what to write about. I'm the type of person that just goes ahead and do things without planning or brainstorming. I just write what I feel like writing and what's on my mind at the moment.

So, this week is going on normally. I have dance tonight and tomorrow night as usual. The thing is, I have to do this Physical Fitness test on Friday. I am insanely out of shape.. you have no idea. =__= I can't do any push ups, and I'm probably the slowest runner you've ever seen. It's not like I'm fat or anything, I just have no muscles (technically not true, but..). The PE test is optional, but my parents are making me go. I was supposed to be training for it or whatever, but I never really got the chance (more like I didn't want to get my lazy butt off this chair).

 

Oh, right! I finally got my hair cut. Yey! I wanted to get it like Bubzbeauty, but my hair's sadly not long enough. I need at least four more inches, and then I'll be able to cut the layers right. So for now, I just have to stick with pretty much the same hairstyle, but my hair is thinner than before. It's because my layers were cut in a different way; I am so happy. Seriously. I'm loving my new style (even though it might not seem different at all), and I'm planning to let my straight-across-sterotypical-asian-bangs that I had for 2 years grow longer lol. =)

I was wondering what date it was today and I just realized that my birthday is coming up! I don't really need anything. I have the basic essentials. Food, a bed, and clothes. What else would I need? I'm trying to stay humble and not want anything. It's part of my New Year Resolutions! Remember those? I'm struggling on a lot of them, but as long as I catch up with them, no big deal right?

Bubzbeauty's Hairstyle

Bubzbeauty is truly inspirational, and even though she's just a normal girl, I really look up to her. She is definitely my role model, and I agree with her beliefs as well. I commend her for being able to be strong about her faith as a Christian. She's given me the courage to do just the same! I would be so much different if it wasn't for her, and I wouldn't know all the beauty tricks and hairstyles she has shared with us. I wish her good health and am glad that her hard work has paid off as a beauty guru. I love you Bubz! =D<3

So, I'm about to head out to run some errands soon since I'm finished with my homework for today. I want to stay home and watch more Korean dramas, but that's not happening. =/ Seeking Love has gotten better I have to say! The guy is still so gullible and his personality can be a little irritating, but at least I know why he has been so annoying. Even if it's because he believes everything he's told... never mind lol. You'll have to watch the drama! ^__^

Whitney Houston
1963-2012

So as everyone already knows, Whitney Houston has passed away. I was shocked, and so was everyone else. Now a lot people are questioning how her death came to be, and people say it's because of her excessive dose of drugs. Whatever it was, she will be greatly missed. Whitney is a true inspiration to me and all women out there. There are singers that have amazing talent just like her, but it's only Whitney that I've seen sing with such strong and passionate emotion. I tear up whenever I think she's gone, but I also remember that she wouldn't want us to be sad of her leaving us. Whitney Houston, we love you forever and always. We will never forget you.

Whitney Houston

I also want to share a video of a cover of the same song "I Will Always Love You" done by Christina Grimmie. She's done an amazing job! I hope you love it, and don't start crying like a baby like I did. ^_^ Have a wonderful day! 

Christina Grimmie Cover

We will always love you Whitney!!

Much love, Anzu xx

New and Old

Hello my lovelies!

How are my viewers? I am doing well; I'm learning new things everyday! =) It is currently 4:03PM and it is quiet in my house. I am sorry that I have not been posting every single day. I either forget or my laziness takes over. Lol... So I have a lot to talk about! Let's get started.

It's the usual, but how was your Super Bowl? I'm not a huge fan of football, but I watched the half show and the second half of the game. I went to a Super Bowl party and watched it at a friend's. So for the first half of the game I ate lots of food and I walked a couple times around the neighborhood with my friend. We're girls, we don't watch football. =P We played card games though and overall, it was pretty fun.

 
Super Bowl 2012

Did your Valentine's go well? Mine was okay I guess. Just a normal day! The drama I am currently watching is called Seeking Love. I have tried watching it once before, but I was like um, no. So I tried watching it again the other day, and I have to say that I'm opening up to it. The main guy character is really irritating though, and he is the worst actor I have ever seen. Ever. At first, I was like "He's cute" lol. The girl is so pretty hahah. I love her hair! ^__^ I hope this drama gets better soon! I already know how it's going to end, but each drama is a little different I guess.


Seeking Love

I have been french braiding my hair in piggy tails a lot lately. If you leave it in long enough, it creates the prettiest waves. I prefer to wear it to sleep, but you can wear this hairstyle out too. I usually wear it for 8 hours maximum. I attempted to do it yesterday, but I only kept them in for a couple hours so it really didn't do anything. I wanted my hair wavy for dance practice, but I ended up not going.

Despite how I say "I don't want to go to dance tonight" each morning, I'm sad I missed out. =( I'm guessing no one realized I was absent anyway. So the reason I couldn't go to the studio is because I had a thing come up at school. I think it's the first time I skipped out. What can I say? The tuition is really expensive... I feel guilty now. =/

Rainbow French Braid

This is what a french braid looks like. I thought her hair looked pretty cool. =) I hope everyone likes this blog post! Thank you so much for reading. ^__^  I discovered an amazing store on YouTube today (Yes, YouTube has everything). It is called Fortnum & Mason and it is located in London. I love the people's British accents. <3 Their channel is very interesting! My favorite video of theirs is how they make their Rose Petal Jelly. I really want to make this; I want to go to this store someday~


Take care everyone!

Much love, Anzu xx

Valentine's Day!

It's coming up!



Valentine's Day! In a lot of countries, including Japan and Korea, it is where girls give handmade chocolates to the guy they like. Confessions, I love yous, and a lot of hearts. Everything is supposed to be pink and girly. I wish! Reality is, most girls just look forward to the candy and dressing up frilly. It's on a Tuesday this year; what's romantic about that?

Sorry for the negative feelings! We can still dream right? Hehe... So! A drama I am watching right now is called The Greatest Love. It's cute, but the characters can be annoying. I love the guy in this drama, he's hilarious. His name is Doko Jin and he has such a "unique" personality. This drama is really goofy and cute! I'm loving it so far! Not as much as the drama My Lovely Samsoon though.




What is your favorite part of Valentine's Day? The dressing up, confessing, or chocolates? I personally love chocolates (lol personally). No matter what kind! What about you? Unless you're allergic to it, how can you not love all the sweets that come with a valentine? ^_^




Next week is Valentine Week at my dance studio! So we get to dress up in "Valentine attire". It will be so fun! I don't even think I have any "Valentine attire", but I will try to find something lol. I always forget about holidays so I usually end up missing the fun. =/ It's pretty nice to have something to look forward to, but I don't really get the purpose of Valentine's Day. I guess it doesn't matter! My friends would say, "Who cares?". =)


Cute. Would I wear it? If I had a date! Miracles do happen right?

Would you have the guts to confess to the guy you like? I don't! I've done it when I was just a little kid, and the boy made fun of me. He told everyone that he would go out with me if I said yes. I did. He just laughed at me and told me it was a joke. =( Jerk. Don't let that bring you down though! If you know you truly like this guy, and you know for sure that he's a great person, go for it! You never know until you try! Don't be a wimp like me. ^_~

Okay, I have to say that this is my most favorite video of Michelle Phan's. It's called The Sweetest Thing. It's actually a makeup tutorial, but she has a storyline with it. It's very cute and, well... sweet! At first, I was going to post up a music video or one of Bubzbeauty's, but this just has the Valentine feel don't you think? ^_^ It fits the theme. One day I will try this lovely spring look. =)

Hope you love, comment, and follow! I love you guys for just viewing my blog. Thank you so much!!




Have a wonderful, love-filled Valentine's Day!


Love, Anzu xxx

Laziness in Full Effect

Hello viewers!

How are you doing? It is 11:39AM as I write this blog post and throw a slight temper tantrum. I'm probably the laziest person in the world right now. I have to take mid-term assessments that I forgot about during winter break. Ugh! I don't want to do it! I'm a spoiled brat, I know. School starts on the 17th of January next week for me. :(

Classes at my dance studio started back up on January 8th. Surprisingly, I'm not sore at all from yesterday. Dance was better than usual too! Even though we barely did any technique, it was fun. I am really, really bad at technique; you have no idea. :P Starting this week, all the classes at my studio are working on dances for our Recital that takes place this June. I'm excited!

The rest of the week went by as usual, other than eating out for dinner once. I'm starting to read a lot more, basically romance novels. Yeah, I have a thing for those lol. I'm still proud of myself. ^_^

Bubzbeauty (Lindy Tsang) recently talked about going back to our favorite past times. I feel a little sad when I think about how I completely stopped drawing. Drawing was a way to express myself and try new things. I've been way too lazy lately; I'm disappointed in myself. I just haven't been getting any great ideas.

I have found blogging as a new past time! It is definitely enjoyable for me. I don't know if anyone even passes by my blog though. Remember how I said I got 300 views? I realized that those 300 views could all have just been me, checking to see if I gotten at least one new follower. :'( I daydream that one day, I will have tons of followers, waiting to read my posts. I think that would be amazing. =)


Daydreaming...


Okay, guys. Lie to Me, the drama I have been watching, has gotten so annoying! I have been trying to watch the whole thing because of the lead actress (I love her, because of her role in Coffee Prince), but I just can't stand it anymore! Ugh seriously; I got down to the second to the last episode. Recently, I tried to watch the Korean drama The Snow Queen. After the 4th episode, I couldn't stand the lead actress. She is so freaking irritating!! Lol, okay sorry I didn't mean to say freaking. =P

I do really love Hyun Bin though. He is adorable! :D It's just that the character of the girl in the drama is such a spoiled brat! Grr she makes me so mad. I love the story line and lead actor over all though. ^_^ I hope I can find an enjoyable Korean drama like Boys Over Flowers and Coffee Prince soon.


The Snow Queen


I finally cleaned my room guys! Lol, I don't do it very often. That's also due to my laziness! I actually have very good hygiene and cleaning skills, but when it comes to my room, it's a total disaster. You can actually see the floor now. I still have to clean and sort out my closet, which will definitely take me all day long. I'm really not looking forward to it; I know it needs to be done because I have two heaps of clothes in baskets, a lot of laundry, and my whole closet is a mess. I have a super small closet. I wish I had a walk in! That would be SO nice.

I need to be a lot cleaner.




So is there any past times that you abandoned? Anything you know you NEED to do, but just won't?
Keep strong with your New Year resolutions. I have one wish for New Years, to get at least one follower on my blog; it would mean the WORLD to me. I'm going to push my laziness aside, and do the chores I need to do today. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!

Check out this song by Skillet! It's been stuck in my head for the past week or so. Skillet is probably the only hard rock band I listen to. :)



Much love,


Anzu xx

Challenges

Hello everyone!



How are you doing? It is 2:38PM as I write up a new blog post. Above is a picture of the K-pop group MBLAQ. I am fairly new to them, but I fell in love with them at first sight hahah. I learned about them on YouTube when I was looking for new songs to play on my keyboard. I found their song Scribble; I fell in love with the instrumental, the actual song, and then the group itself. ^_~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfrImkrbmkg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYCQdAuO0B0&list=FLl_8SOHvDGxbx8NHEbG6b9Q&index=1&feature=plpp_video

The first link is to the actual song and the second link is to the instrumental on piano. The instrumental is done by a program called Synthesia. I LOVE it. It is very similar to Guitar Hero, except it is done with piano. Since it's on the computer, it's a lot harder with the keyboard on my net book. I failed.. but hey! I suck at Guitar Hero too, so no biggy right?

Oh, by the way! I've discovered more updates on my iPhone since I've updated it. It turns out, on iPhone 3G, you can't multitask or have home screen backgrounds even with an iOS 4. I'm a little happier I have to admit about the other stuff, but I'm still pretty stumped that I lost all my contacts and music while restoring. Yeah, it was my fault because I didn't do it properly. I'm glad I could get so many more apps though. Actually, I was ecstatic hahah. =)

All day today and yesterday, I have been out of my mind. There's nothing to do! Well, that's not totally true, but I really want to get out of the house and actually do something. I hope I'll be able to do something this weekend at least. Boredom hasn't really affected me this much in a long time.

Good news! I just got 300 views (all time) on my blog! Yay! I'm so happy hahah. But I'm still a little sad that I don't have any followers yet. Thank you for those who have been reading along with my mood swings and boring passages though.


I have been running out of ideas on what to write about these days. Hmm.. I know that lately, I've been more open about my faith. Yes, I am a Christian, but I don't have anything against people of other religions. Trust me. =)

I've been doing this Proverbs task this month. It is where I read a chapter of Proverbs in my Bible every day of the month. There are 31 chapters, so it fits perfectly don't you think? I feel happy and complete when I read my Bible.


I'm sorry this entry is so short! If you have any ideas, topics, and/or suggestions, comment down below! Here is a short video of one of my favorite dancers Pauline Mata. She is the girl in the red sweats. Enjoy! Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Choreography: Gil Duldulao for Pulse on Tour.
Song and artist: Moment 4 Life by Nicki Minaj.



Take care,


Much love, Anzu xx

Sorry I'm Late!

How many days has it been?

Gorgeous lovelies, I am so sorry I haven't been updating you in I don't know how long! Please forgive me!! It is 3:26PM as I lay on a beaten up mattress and write this blog post. I have so many things to tell you! I'll just give you the highlights. =)


Excitement

Tsunami State Youth Conference was AMAZING! There were amazing speakers, bands, and singers. I learned so much, and it was an experience I can never forget. There were also classes called Hot Topics, a Tsunami Choir, and different Ministry Projects we could do. I felt touched, and it was an opportunity to touch others. The speakers that were there were Jeff Wallace and Billy Beachem; they were both amazing, humorous, and very likable people. It was extraordinary to see so many people come to Christ. Tsunami is for First Southern Baptist youths anyways.. and more! ^_^

I will also never forget my friends and the music there. There was Shonlock, Superchic[k], and Travis Ryan. My favorite was Travis, he leads worship at Saddleback Church. There was loud Christian music, great ministry, and over 2,000 kids from 6th-12th grade. Usually, there are over 5,000 people there; Daryl Watts, the person that runs Tsunami, said it will be called Ignition next year. He said Tsunami was "dead"; even though I don't particularly like that term, it is true. I'm happy I got to be at the last Tsunami!

Another thing that is news to you, is that I finally have gotten my first purity ring! I am so happy and was so excited to get it! I got it at the conference as a souvenir. When a girl wears a purity ring, she is telling everyone that she will not have sex until she gets married. It's a Christian thing lol, and it means that we made that promise with God. Sounds super religious, but not at all when you think about it. If you want a little more info on that, click the link below.


My purity ring is a silver, solid pewter ring and it says "Purity" on it. It has two butterflies on each side lol. It was $8.99 I believe? Super expensive, but it's pretty cheap compared to the other ones I see online. Mine is pretty simple; I don't need no fancy jewels hahah. =) Mine has a few scratches on it from taking a tag off with a large pocket knife; I'd say it's pretty unique now lol.  Here is a picture of what my ring looks like.

Something has been seriously taking up my time ALL day today. After a very long time of wanting my dad to update my cracked iPhone 3G, I got fed up and tried to do it myself. I believe I started around 11AM. Since this is my first time doing it, it took me forever to find the right website to download the programs and firmwares that were needed.

After downloading redsn0w, iPhone1,2_4.2.1_8C148_Custom_Restore, iPhone1,2_4.2.1_8C148_Restore, and iTunes, I went on with the process of DFU mode. That also took me forever, because I didn't know how to do it correctly. It turns out I did all these extra steps so until I figured it out (it takes me awhile), it had already been over 2 hours. UGH.

Then, I started iTunes up and it is supposed to be restoring the software on my phone with iOS 4.2.1, but it is taking FOREVER and the little loading bars froze on me. Can this get any worse? I am so sorry to be complaining and whining right when I just started posting again... and with little children in third world countries starving. I'm just so frustrated! Grrrrrr....




How was your Christmas and New Years? Mine was great! I didn't do anything special for New Years though. I just watched movies with my dad 'till midnight on New Year's Eve and went over to a friend's for dinner on New Year's Day. It was nice. ^_^



I hope all of you will love and live and start anew! Make memories, goals, and much more! I know, I myself did not start off 2012 with the best attitude. Even if you feel like crap, smile and make resolutions. Try and make the best out of yourselves! Be creative, try new things, grow, and know you'll be okay in the year's come. Make new friends and make amends with old ones. =)



I love you guys so much! Know that you are never alone! May God truly bless you wherever you go. Please enjoy this winter makeup video by Bubzbeauty! I think this is one of my favorites. I really love this look! ^__^ Wish me luck on my iPhone... >_<



Take care!!!

Excited Some More...

Hello my lovelies!

It is 9:01AM as I write up a blog post and my stomach growls. I am so hungry, but I am too lazy to get something to eat. That's bad right? Ugh... anyways! How is everyone doing? No one ever replies so I'm guessing you're doing well! I feel accomplished that I wrote another blog post in less than 4 days. =)


Live, Laugh, Love


I have a DIY mask on and it feels so cool and tingly. It is a yogurt and oatmeal mask with a teaspoon of lemon juice. I've been breaking out in acne bumps and pimples where I've never had them before. I'm a little worried so I just used a citrus scrub after I washed my face this morning, followed with a DIY mask. I don't have to worry about my skin drying out because yogurt is very moisturizing and soothing. ^_^

Today is my last day of school before winter break! Yehhh!!! The bad news is I have to do TONS of work today. =_= Oh, right! Last night, I had my Christmas dance performances and the only one that turned out okay was Ballet! It was really unexpected, but we got our music slowed down a bit so that helped a lot too. Lyrical was bad, and in Jazz, I was winging it lol. Our Jazz teacher had to be subbed in and we had to learn a new dance on the spot.

It reminds me, if you have ever watched the show Project Runway, Tim always says,  "Make it work." That is his line hahah. I remember trying to imitate him at one point. I used to always watch this show with my sister and dad. Good times =)



Three more days until Christmas! I'm still excited as ever, but we don't have any presents under our tree yet. =( My dad says he isn't done with his Christmas shopping; so as you can see, he does everything at the last minute lol. I can also tell he hasn't wrapped anything either because the two rolls of gift wrapping paper that we bought are still sitting in our dining room. Good news is that I was able to put up some ornaments and decorations on our tree last night; I will put on the rest either today or tomorrow.

I was so beat yesterday. I had many many errands to do so I was out the whole day, and then I had to go to my three dance classes in the evening. I'm glad I went so I could get over with the performances and I got candy lol. I'm a little sad winter break started today at my dance studio. =')
I just learned a new song to sing that is called Good Day by IU. It is so cute and girly, and I love the lyrics. I actually searched it up in English so I could understand the song. I finally am able to sing this, and I hope everyone will love her song Good Day too. Here is IU's music video!




Have a Good Day because I <3 U. ^_~


Much love, Anzu xx

Merry Christmas!!

Hi everyone!

Christmas is coming up this Sunday! Are you excited? I am! :D I'm sorry that my Christmas themed post is so late; I should have probably posted it last month. Let's continue! It is currently 12:51PM, I think I need to eat lunch soon. All I ate for breakfast were some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that I made with my dad. They were pretty good though... couldn't resist!

My winter break is December 23 to January 16; it starts this coming Friday. All my other friends are already on break because they got out of school this last Friday. They're so lucky. =P My Christmas dance performances are coming up! I'm still so nervous!

Since it's Christmas, I will probably do things that I don't do very often. Such as cleaning my room, eating 3 meals a day, setting up my Christmas tree, decorating, sending cards, and receiving and giving presents. My room and closet is a total mess! I look at it and think, "It could be worst." When in reality, it can't lol. I set up my fake 7ft. Christmas tree on Saturday, it took me forever hahah. I was going to decorate it yesterday, but I was busy with other stuff. Might do it tonight..



We're not putting any Christmas lights on our house this year. Now that I think about it, we haven't done so in a long time. When I was younger, I'd always look forward to it and literally beg my dad to put them up. But after a couple years, I just forgot all about it. A lot of traditions have been broken, such as getting a real Christmas tree. This is our third or fourth year with a fake one? It saddens me sometimes. My mom was the one that didn't like the real ones. And as usual, my dad always listens to my mom. Sigh...

How are you going to spend your Christmas? I can't go visit my family down in Southern California this year because my dad has to work. =( So it's just me and my parents unless we have company. I'm looking forward to my church's Candle Light Service that's on Christmas Eve though. I think it's going to turn out well. We had a rehearsal yesterday, and it was pretty good.

I also went to a Christmas party and we had a gift exchange. I got a whiteboard calendar with extra markers, a Eco spiral journal, colored pens, a large polka dot purple cup for my tea, and a purple throw blanket. I seriously felt super special hahah. I thanked them a million times. =)




This is Michelle Phan's latest video; it is a makeup tutorial on her "Mistletoe Kiss" look. I just love it! The fake crease looked unappealing at first, but it actually looks really nice! I might just try this. ^_~ "Holiday parties, dance, get together, dinner date, whatever the occasion may be, you want to look fab..." This look was created using products from her December's Glambag from MyGlam. It's actually pretty cool, I haven't tried it before though. It looks very convenient and stylish, check out the website!

http://www.myglam.com/this-holiday-bag


The weather has been chilly, but there is no snow over here; it would be unusual if there was. I like to layer up on sweaters, scarves, coats, and wear a pair of comfy boots. What would be Christmas without the cold weather? Some places have the same weather all year round though. Such as Hawaii and other countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. Another thing that makes everything feel like Christmas are the lights. I think they're just gorgeous and they makes everything look so festive. =)


Next week, I am going to the State Youth Conference (Tsunami) that takes place in Santa Clara. I am so excited! I will be able to go with a couple of my friends, and it'll be my first time. Tsunami is where all kinds of Christian youth come together at one place and fellowship, take classes, and go to concerts. I have no idea what it will be like, but I know I will be staying in a hotel. I haven't spent a night in one in a really long time. That's enough to keep me thrilled. "What's so great about a hotel?" my dad would say. =P The State Youth Conference will be three days and two nights; I bet it will be a lot of fun!

I really wish I could by a Christmas costume for my dogs... random, I know lol. I saw them at Walmart the other day and they were SO adorable. They had reindeer ears, little dresses, sweaters, scarves, etc. I don't really dress up my dogs though, but come on! It's Christmas! Ginger and Bear would look adorable!! >__<

The reason why I love dachshunds <3


Have a merry merry Christmas everyone! Hope you enjoyed my Christmas post! I love you all ^__^
Here is a extra video if you don't mind. =) Nigahiga's latest video!




MERRY CHRISTMAS!


Much love, Anzu xxxx

Updates!

Hello my gorgeous viewers!

How was every one's week so far? I apologize for not posting 7 days straight! I've just been busy with other things, and I felt lazy at the same time. So sorry. =( Since it has been a whole week, I will try my best to update you guys on everything. Oh, and if you're just wondering, the time is 12:22PM right now.

One of the things that have been keeping me busy is the Christmas service at my church that takes place on Christmas Eve. I am singing two solos in the program, and I have been practicing a lot. So nervous! Another thing I am working on are my Christmas dances to showcase to the parents next week. I still need to work on all the dances a lot more; the one I'm practicing the most is my Russian Nutcracker choreography for Ballet. It's just too fast! I'm trying to keep up though. Again, my class is supposed to be the most advanced so that really kills me lol. Work hard Anzu!



 
Another thing I have been spending my time on is Scrabble. I know, lame. But seriously! It is super addictive! I downloaded the free app on my phone after seeing one of my friends playing on it. Yes, we are nerdy. ;P I have also been playing Temple Run. It is also a game app; it was recommended to me and I love it now hahah. =)

I have an iPhone 3G I think? It's the second oldest version I'm guessing; so, it won't let me update the software on my phone. It is just so frustrating sometimes! Ugh. I'm thankful that I have an iPhone though.. even though I dropped it and cracked the screen. In my defense, I had no pockets that day!

I was carrying boxes while opening a door, and my phone was on top. So, right when I was about to go inside, it slipped off the surface and dropped flat onto the cement. Sigh... yes, yes, my fault. =_= At least it still works! It's cracked pretty bad though.. I'm so stupid!



So, Coffee Prince was one of the BEST dramas ever. I think it's even better than Boys Over Flowers. The Korean drama that I am finishing up now is called Princess Hours. (By the way, I watch all my dramas and anime on http://www.crunchyroll.com) It was hard to get used to it at first because the main character Chae-Kyung is also the main character in Coffee Prince. She is an amazing actress because she went from a total tom boy prince to a girly princess. The personalities of the two characters are so different!! Another awkward thing was Chae-Kyung's mother's character is played by the same woman that plays the mother of Geum Jand Di in Boys Over Flowers. It was insane lol! I personally like the mother role she played in Boys Over Flowers.

Princess Hours is 22 episodes long and I'm almost finished watching it! I don't think the drama is that bad, but I'm not a fan of it. I personally don't like it at all, but it's interesting to watch. I loved the characters at first, but the drama gets really irritating. Hope it ends with a happy ending! For those who have seen this drama, would you prefer Chae-Kyung to go with Prince Eui-Sung or Prince Shin? I'm so going for Prince Shin hahah! ^_^ I love him, even from the beginning, I've always liked Shin better. They're just too cute. <3 I think Yoon Eun Hye just looks adorable in this drama!

Here is the link to wikipedia's explanation of Princess Hours:




That's all I have for you guys today! Winter break is coming up! Hope you guys enjoyed my post! So many exclamation points... Here is a video of one of my favorite songs. Mr.Simple by Super Junior; it's just so addicting hahah. Love that they have the funkiest hair! I like this music video because I haven't seen such an enjoyable cheesy one like this in a long time! I laughed about half the time lmao. I'm still in love with this song!




Take care!!


Much love, Anzu xx

Stressed?

Hello my lovely cupcakes!


How is everyone doing? It is 12:47PM at the moment, and I wasn't going to post but it's already been three days since my last entry. This week has been more busy than usual; I still can't believe Christmas is almost here! I'm looking forward to it but at the same time I'm not?

Last night, I learned the rest of my Russian Nutcracker and it is SO HARD. I almost died. xD Couldn't believe the dance was under a minute; I think it just shows how fast and intense it is hahah. We only just learned our dance for Lyrical yesterday and we had a substitute Jazz teacher. Jazz was pretty hilarious.

We have a creepy large Santa doll that stands in one of the hallways in my dance studio. We brought it inside our Jazz class and made a choreography to the song Santa Baby while dancing with Santa... lol.

It's weird, I'm really talkative at home and with my close friends, but at my dance studio, I barely say a word. Everyone there thinks I'm the quiet type; they'd freak if they knew how I really am. Same visa versa. They both feel like the real me, I don't think there was one moment where I felt like I was acting like someone else. At least I don't have a split personality disorder.


Yesterday, I tried to make cupcakes out of modeling clay. The clay was made out of some type of plastic so it wouldn't even harden if I baked it. Ugh, I failed. I tried to make a Mario mushroom, but I failed at that too. =__=

I made a clay rose for my mom's Christmas present though. Shh! She doesn't know.. I have to make something for my dad and I need to get something more for both of them. I also need to get presents for my friends and my other family members. Ugh, the thing is that I don't have any money!! Also, I have A LOT of family members. My parents don't believe in allowances and I can't work for a few reasons. I don't know what to do; this is stressing me out too. Do you guys have any ideas? I NEED to earn money! Everyone just does so much for me. ='(

So guys, I finished watching Boys Over Flowers and it was A-ma-zing! Loved it. I wish it didn't have to end though. Now I am watching a Korean drama called Coffee Prince. It is just as cute and hilarious. Some characters really irritate me, but it would be weird if everything was perfect anyways. The main character, which is the heroine, is supposed to look like a boy. I wish she had just a TINY bit of femininity though. I am still in love with this show!! There are 17 episodes, I'm already on the 16th. =((

Here is the link to wikipedia's explanation of Coffee Prince:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1st_Shop_of_Coffee_Prince



So! I posted the music video for the Korean song Trouble Maker by Trouble Maker (Hyuna Kim and JS). Did you guys like it? ^_^ It gets better when you listen to it more. Now the 2nd song I mentioned was You and I by IU. Ugh I like love her now. Her voice, her hair, her innocence, her songs, and her music videos. =P Please enjoy!



I didn't get what the music video meant at first, but eventually I got it. ^_~ It is so cute, sweet, and lovely! Her lover fell into a coma and no matter what she did, he wouldn't wake up. She then looks into the future and sees her and her lover happy together. She loses her patience; she couldn't wait to be with him again. So, she builds a time machine and takes off into the future. At the moment she leaves, her lover wakes up. In the future they meet again, and they recognize each other. They finally get to be with each other in the end. =) <3

Have a wonderful day!


Much love, Anzu xx

Ahhh!

Hi everyone!!



Sorry for not posting the past few days! I'm officially in LOVE with Boys Over Flowers! I've been watching hours of it; approximately 22 hours because I'm on episode 22! Each episode is about an hour long and there are 25 of them. My favorite Korean drama will be over soon. =( I'm rooting for Junpyo and Jandi even though there are so many disturbances in their relationship lol!

So how is everyone doing?? It is 10:57AM as I type out a blog post entry and watch Korean pop music videos on YouTube. Recently, Bubzbeauty has started posting for her weekly favorites in music. I'm in love with all her "BEST Songs of the Week" which includes Trouble Maker by Trouble Maker, You and I by IU, and Tomorrow by Tablo ft. Taeyang. I already knew about Tomorrow because, as you probably already know, I'm a huge fan of Tablo.

I'm also now a fan of IU and Trouble Maker (Hyuna Kim and Hyun Seong (JS)). I was already a fan of Hyuna so it was pretty amazing lol. I will post the different music videos, but only one per blog entry. I think JS is like so amazing and hot now hahah, you'll just have to see the video! JS is a guy by the way lol! The music video gives of a sexual feel, but that's the way they're supposed to act. Hyuna Kim is actually a really sweet and shy girl! It might not seem so in the video though.




I was SO tired yesterday, but the weird thing is I don't know the reason why. I did only have 6 hours of sleep the night before, and I usually have at least 7 hours. I was watching Boys Over Flowers on my phone all night long lol. Hm what did I do yesterday?
  • Woke up at 7AM
  • Went to church
  • Lunch at Black Bear Diner
  • Boys Over Flowers
  • Dinner
  • Practiced Keyboard
  • Skype  
  • Texting
  • Bed
A lot happened at my church, so I guess that's when I started to get really tired and stressed out. Sigh... I think I will get a facial mask and just relax. When I'm lazy, I just get some plain natural yogurt and slap it on my face hahah. I'm so weird, but it actually does help a lot! I haven't used a mask in a week or so.

My breakouts are getting less and less noticeable though. I think it is because I've used a different cleansing product lately. I am using Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream. It makes me feel so refreshed and I like using it when I'm too lazy to go through a beauty facial routine.

I usually use Neutrogena liquid facial cleanser and I always have to use a washcloth and there's a process I go through lol. It just feels like too much work sometimes and it's actually made my skin feel really dry and flaky recently. I think the reason is because it rids of all the natural oils in my skin.. I wouldn't recommend this product for people with sensitive or dry skin.

Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream



Neutrogena Liquid Cleansing Formula (Fragrance-Free)


This is all I have for you today! I hope you liked my blog post, and please guide me through this everyone! Please follow me if you like my blog and comment below if you have any suggestions on how to make my blog better. Here is the awaited Trouble Maker 'Trouble Maker' M/V! I'm so hooked on to this song now.. really wish I had itunes! =_= 



English lyrics:

1! 2! 3!


(JS) When I look into your eyes, I'm a Trouble Maker.

(Hyuna) When I stand next to you, I'm a Trouble Maker.

(JS) Little by little, even more more more.

(Hyuna) As time goes by, even more more more.

(Both) Now I can't even control my own heart.
So, you won't forget me I stand in front of you again.
I keep playing with your heart so you won't leave me.
Stealing your lips again, I disappear far away from you.
I'm a Trou-a-a-a-ble! Trouble!
Trou-Trouble Maker!

(JS) Trouble Maker!

(Both) Trouble Maker!
Trouble Maker! Trouble Maker!

(Hyuna) Like a cat, I will bite your heart and run away.
You will keep getting frustrated, so go on and try, try to get mad at me.
My sexy walk will trigger your mind.
Your eyes are already telling me you are dying from the lack of my touch.

(JS) Longer we are together you fall deeper into me.
The more I get to know you, you. I like you more, baby.
I really must be drunk in thoughts of you, lady.
I never, never, never stop!

(Both) So, you won't forget me I stand in front of you again.
I keep playing with your heart so you won't leave me.
Stealing your lips again, I disappear far away from you.
I'm a Trou-a-a-a-ble! Trouble!
Trou-Trouble Maker!

(JS) Trouble Maker!

(Both) Trouble Maker!

(JS) Trouble Maker!

(Both) Trouble Maker!

(JS) How can I keep locked up in my heart?
(Trouble Maker)

(Hyuna) Now, I just leave it to where my heart goes.

(JS) I never, never stop!

(Both) I can't stop!

(Both) So, you won't forget me I stand in front of you again.
(Oh yeah~)
I keep playing with your heart so you won't leave me.
Stealing your lips again, I disappear far away from you.
I'm a Trou-a-a-a-ble! Trouble!
Trou-Trouble Maker!

(JS) Trouble Maker!

(Both) Trouble Maker!

(JS) Trouble Maker!

(Both) Trouble Maker!

Yay..

Hey guys!

I have great news! My mom didn't need surgery after all; it seems her brain is healing itself. Isn't that great?? Miracle! It is 9:40AM as I write this entry and eat a piece of pecan pie. Can you believe it is already December?? Christmas is crawling around the corner; I plan to make a post with a topic of Christmas soon, but I don't have any ideas on what to talk about! T__T

Just recently, I've figured out the number #1 thing I want for Christmas. I mean, I want it really really REALLY bad. I want a barrel curling iron!! The one where you don't have to clip your hair, but just wrap your hair around the iron for 10 seconds? My gosh I just wish I had one! NNNGHH!! Please bear with my whining and frustration for now lol. My parents won't let me use any heat tools so I'm out of luck. T_T I tried using hot water curlers yesterday on my hair just for fun.. it was way too hard! The clasps kept popping out (literally) because my hair is super thick. I spent over an hour or two just trying to use those.

I can curl my hair by braiding but it gives off crimped waves. I want big, soft, loose waves.. like the picture of Selena Gomez I showed you guys a couple posts ago. I can twist my hair too, but man it is a lot of work! =_= So those are the reasons I want a barrel curling iron; I think they're better than the other kinds. I hope Santa will be kind enough to give me one lol! xD

So how is everyone? Happy and not "pmsing" like me? My mind is blank right now.. lmao my dad would make a joke out of that. So, last night I had dance practice; I got a friend to give me a lift because my parents were out of town. I felt I was better at dancing than usual yesterday, but I have a feeling it's because all of the dances were super easy to all the other advanced dancers. We're supposed to come up with a Christmas dance and showcase it to either other classes or our parents. I'm going to practice extra hard this week!



Look at her toes!! So amazing...

I only learned recently that the classes I'm in are the most advanced classes that will be in our annual recital!! MY GOSH. I'm seriously stressed out and I feel the pressure weighing on me. The only other higher level classes are competition and technique.

We haven't really figured out a Christmas dance for lyrical, but we are learning a combination for Ballet and Jazz. In Ballet we're dancing to the Russian dance song? Lol... that's what we call it. For Jazz, we're dancing to I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Cute huh? The Ballet dance is so fast and a little hard though, we just need a lot more practice lol. The link to the Russian Nutcracker song is down below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2ISRMSIyX8


I have a Roku "box" connected to my TV that let's me watch stuff online on the screen. It's pretty cool, and I was looking at a website called Crunchyroll (random?) and I saw the famous Boys Over Flowers Korean drama! I always hear almost everyone talking about it! Like, "Oh that's the necklace that blah gave blah in Boys Over Flowers!" I don't remember their names lol.

I'm thinking um... what's Boys Over Flowers? The fans freaked out, so since I can finally watch it, I will try to figure out what's so great about the series! Be warned, I might come back all girly and say "Boys Over Flowers is so amazing! So kawaii! I love it!!". For some reason, visioning that is a little disturbing for me hahah.



I have to say a couple of the boys look cute, but they look a little gay. Lol I know, Anzu don't judge a book by it's cover! :X

Last week, I found another dancer that inspires me! She truly is an amazing dancer!! Her whole body is so fluid and her toes are like amazing. Her name is Megan Branch and this is my favorite dance of hers! She dances in the most gorgeous way being pretty and soft at one moment, and then she's fierce in the other. Loving you Megan!!




Hope everyone enjoyed my post!
Thank you for reading!


Much love, Anzu xx

Emotions

Hello...

It is 8:00AM as I write this blog post. My grandparents just left with my parents to go down to LA. Minutes later, I started crying and I couldn't stop for at least 20 minutes. Why? Well, it's been a long time since I've had someone to talk to all the time and someone to do stuff with me (my grandma). My mom is always at home with me, but we are not close and she always lounges out in our office. Is it weird? To cry like that? I think I had a mental breakdown... and its been awhile. I haven't really cried in a long time. Whenever I do it, I feel like a spoiled child.

Another reason is because my mom is having a surgery at USC for her collapsed artery in her neck. One is already 100% closed, but the one on the other side we can still save. She has had several strokes before, but I'm happy she is still with me today. It is very serious they say, to drink lots of water and such, but she never did. If they can't save this artery, she can possibly "leave us". This is kinda personal, but this is my diary after all. I'm praying the surgery will be successful! 

Now I'm feeling lonely and depressed; I know after this I will be alone again. Hahah I feel tears forming.. whenever I just think about the word "alone". I'm not truly alone, it just feels that way. All my siblings are older and out of the house down in Southern California. My dad has to work all day; on the days he doesn't work, he doesn't get paid. So the ones close to me I don't see often. But, at least I get to say goodnight to him each day. I don't hang out with my friends because I'm homeschooled. If you didn't know.. I don't have many people my age at my church and I don't really have any "friend friends" at my dance. My only comfort right now is singing, piano, and my blog!

Even though I may not have any followers or maybe not even have any viewers, I'm grateful for being able to just put my feelings out there. This is the first time I've put up a negative post up huh? I try not to, but you know I just need someone to talk to. It may sound weird, and there may be no one to write back. It's kinda dangerous lol. ^_^

This is just a short post that I decided to write on a spur of the moment. No editing done. Thank you for whoever created Blogger! Hope you have a wonderful worry-free day! I think I've calmed down a bit now lol.. the feelings are true though! Remember that!


Blue skies, crystal clear waters, and feeling the sun on my skin always makes me feel happy. =)
Emotions~


Take Care,

Much Love, Anz xx
