I know I need to update, but I don't have the brain (haha!) to think of what topic to post so here are some photos of my obsession... Sho-chan!

I finally remembered to blog.
I've been planning to blog for a while now, but either that I am not inspired enough to blog, or that I my mind is too busy being a fangirl. (Sho-chaaaan! LOL)
This first photo was actually taken about a month ago! Hahahah!
And this one was just taken yesterday. Hehee
So before my mind wanders away, and start being on my fangirl mode again, let me start saying something about this outfit post. I'll keep it short. (As always)
Last autumn, my colors where more on jewel tones combined with creams and browns, now this year, my favorite colors are black, gray, and navy blue. I am planning to add purples and reds to give a bit of accent.. but I'm still incorporating brown hues when I want it not too edgy.
Autumn is my favorite month to dress up so I am hoping to be back on blogging! Wish me luck. :p

Want to try something new to do with your left over rice?
Here it is!
You'll need: diced onions, chicken ham, cheese, parmesan cheese, left over rice, tomato, butter,
3 tbs olive oil, salt, french dressing, and dried parsley.
1. Saute onions in butter and add salt to taste.
2. Scoop the seeds/pulp of tomato and dice.
3. Mix sauteed onions, diced tomato pulp, and other ingredients except for butter, french dressing and parsley.
4. Put the rice mix into the tomato cup, sprinkle parmesan cheese, parsley, then drizzle french dressing.
I thought using tomatoes as cups would be better for presentation but you could use small ones and just cut them into large cubes, top it to the rice salad and it would still look yummy. :)

Every year, there are two television networks that hosts a 24 hours tv telethon to promote charity. They hold a theme every year to raise money and awareness.
The group, Arashi was this year's main personality for one of the 24 Hours TV, and this year, the show's theme was, "Future".
As there were many natural disasters the past years, the show focused on facing today's reality to take a step to the future.
They covered topics such as those people that are affected by the tsunami, those parents that lost their child to a disease without a cure, those children that lost their parent at a young age, those that are abused when they were a child, those that are simply trying to go on with their lives and hopes that someday they're lives would somehow be near to normal after a life changing incident.
Imagine how those people felt so helpless and hopeless? Losing their child in front of their eyes, not knowing what to do next with their lives. Those people not even recognizing the feelings that rushes inside their minds and hearts and how to assimilate them. Some people are now the people that they are because of an incident that they cannot and would not leave them, and will be at the back of their minds forever. I was moved by every story and couldn't help see and relate it with my own life. You see, I easily get hit by paranoia. I am the kind of person that some may say is exaggeratedly careful. So imagining what if I have some kind of a disease, or what if my daughter gets into an accident, or what if my husband dies before me, etc., is nothing really new. But this show made me think somehow a bit differently, I learned something about my self that I myself did not knew, and it made me think a little bit more positively...
No, I won't get into details because I find it too embarrassing.
So I'm just sharing a message that my (now? I also like Sho.) favorite Arashi member, Ninomiya Kazunari said:
"When today becomes tomorrow, that's the future. It may be the future in 10 or 20 years, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the future too. That's why I live with all my might today. Because I don't want to regret doing my very best today, even if a tomorrow I didn't wish comes. Our FUTURE is definitely TODAY. With that in mind, I do my best to live today."

Honestly, I was excited to see the show just because Arashi is hosting it, and I get to see their talks and performances. Well who wouldn't with their attractive personalities and cute faces? Haha. No wonder they are the top selling male group now in Japan.
But it turned out, the message it brought was a perfect timing for my current self. :)
Okay!
Now back to my fan girl mode, here are some Arashi photos I took! Hihi ;p

Finally had my hair done last saturday, now this is what my hair looks like. Posted a before photo too just so people would see the difference in case, and also because I love how I did my make up that day. Hehee
I had my hair trimmed, color plus lowlights, digital perm and treatment. I was planning to color my hair ombre, but I didn't want to bleach my hair since I'm perming my hair too on the same day and I don't want to damage my hair too much.
Apparently, my hair is too dark and thick so it's hard to lighten it with normal hair coloring.
So there.. It looks a bit more brown on the photo than in really is, so I'm thinking of having highlights (already using bleach this time) because I still find it a bit boring.
I'm also posting my outfit on that day. I paired a beige top with a coral orange sleeveless blouse, with a light gray denim pants, and a gold boat heel sandals. I added gold, wood and brown accessories. :)
I really love these pants since you can pair it with any color. Just choose which tone/hue you'd pair it with. I tried a black/gray tone the last time, now this one is an more on the orange hues, I want to try a blue hues next :)

A few weeks ago, I bought a new nail polish from Canmake. I wanted to use it on our Salon Day with my friend which is going to be tomorrow! Hihi.
I've been intrigued with the cracked nail polish from OPI, but I find it a waste of money since the trend might not last long, so I'm glad I saw this cheap Crack Lac Nail from Canmake.
Here are the steps: First paint your nails with the base color. I chose a reddish pink one that I borrowed from our store manager. ;) Then coat it with a white Crack Lac Nail (I think they also had black, pastel green and pink). Double coat it with translucent shimmery/glittery nail polish. I'm using an aqua blue glittery polish today.
I think it's a bit different from the other cracked nail polishes because you need a base color first before coating it with Crack Lac Nail. I prefer it more since you just need to change the base and top color and the design variations are endless! :)
And, you actually do not need to do this in one day. I painted my nails red about 2 days ago, then coated the Crack Lac just yesterday, and I just added the glittery one a while ago, and I'm adding a gel top coat later tonight. It's perfect for someone who easily gets tired/bored like me (and yes, lazy), you don't need to remove your first polish to achieve a new look. Just top a coat after a few days, and if it goes well, you polish would last for more than 2 weeks! Hehee
I know I should use my camera for better photos, but I'm (yea, yea) just too lazy. :p

Last sunday, my friend and I, with our daughters had a salad and ice cream bonding at our home. So I thought I'd share the recipes of the salads that we made because, well who doesn't love salads? It's healthy, yummy, and perfect for summer! :)
For my apple chicken macaroni salad,
you need: 1 small cubed apple, 150g elbow macaroni, 30-40g cubed cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and half onions cubed(optional), salt and pepper to taste.
*boil macaroni, and mix all the other ingredients!
As for the pumpkin yogurt salad with almonds,
you need: half of medium or small sized pumpkin, 2tbsp yogurt, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup almonds, 20-30g cubed cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
* boil pumpkins for about 15-20 mins, mash them, then mix all the other ingredients!
Lastly, for the tomato and lettuce salad,
you need: about 4-5 leaves of lettuce, 10 pcs of mini tomatoes, salted potato chips, and french dressing.
* tear lettuce into bite size, cut tomatoes into half, crumble potato chips, put them on a plate then drizzle french dressing!
I was laughing while typing these salad recipes. It is so easy! (to do and to type so lahat naka exclamation point talaga! haha) You just need to mix mix mix! There's no reason for anyone not to try! ;)

They say that non-silicone shampoos are good for your hair because it prevents build up that clogs the scalp.. Clean and healthy scalp, means healthy and shiny crowning glory.
I have been intrigued as there are a lot of non-silicone shampoos that are rising out on the market recently, and among all those, I decided to try the 2nd(?) cheapest one and that is Reveur.
I first tried all kinds of Reveur (there are 3) since they have a one day trial pack and used it for about a week after buying a bottle of the kind that I liked. I bought the "scalp" for shampoo because I felt that it cleanses my scalp more, and "moist and gloss" for conditioner because I loved the scent and so that my hair will be glossy and shiny.
The first 2-3 weeks was actually good. I felt that my hair is lighter and shinier, and I love the fruity flowery scent. But as time goes, I noticed that my hair looks dull, and there's too much hair fall. I have thick long hair, so hair fall is normal for me, but I was a bit surprised and scared with the amount of fallen hair that I saw.
So I searched for some reviews about Reveur, and most of them had the same experience as me! Therefore decided to just change my shampoo again.
Before Reveur, I used Merit, Lux, and Dove (in that order). From those 3, Merit is the cheapest and I liked it the most. I expected too much from the other 2 and it was a bit of a disappointment. They're heavy and sticky in my opinion so I would most likely not use them again.
Can you believe that a bottle of Reveur costs 3 bottles of Merit or 2 bottles of Lux/Dove already?! Gaahd.
So the other day, I was looking for a shampoo that would somehow revive my hair, I bought Loreal. (That pump bottle pack contains 1 shampoo and conditioner and 1 hair pack could only buy 1 bottle of Reveur!) I've tried this brand way way back, but I think this one is a new line(?). Anyways, so far so good, but I won't expect too much now.
As for the non-silicone shampoo trend? I cannot get over the fact that I totally wasted money on this, so I might use Reveur sometimes just so it wouldn't be gone to waste. But next time, I will just buy an expensive and well trusted brand of shampoo than spend on a pricey non-silicone shampoo. I heard there are soluble silicones anyway, and just make sure to rinse the shampoo well.
I also do not put conditioner on my scalp since it apparently would cause build up. So let's make sure to put conditioner just on the middle to the ends of our precious hair. :)

I love having lash extensions because you don't need to wear mascaras that are to hard take off, or curl your lashes and just hurt your eye when you're in a hurry. :p
Had lash extensions last saturday after taking a break for less than a year.
Went to a different salon this time that had a more adjustable menu, that is also just a couple of blocks away from my workplace so it'll be more convenient.
I like what my eyelist did to my lashes, I thought it was too long and too glam at first,
but I got used to it and now I think it's pretty and just enough lenght to be seen in pictures.
The problem is that some of the lashes are too near my lids that it pricks when I shower or when I close my eyes hard like when I need to sneeze!
I had the same problem with the first lash salon I went to (not to mention the extensions we're also a bit stiff), and I thought it was normal back then, but I never had this problem with the salon that I went after that. I have been going a few times, and the eyelist there is good and very fast in doing it but the thing is, she wasn't too friendly.
So now I went to this lash salon that did my lashes now, and this is what happens..
Gaahd I'm in a dilemma! Lol.
Should I go back to my unfriendly yet trusted ex-eyelist? Stay with my current one and just tell her what happened so she'd be more careful next time? Or go to a different one that is a bit far from here?
I would actually decide after a few weeks from now to see how long would this new extensions hold. The last one holded for about a month and a half.
Did you know that blow drying your lash ext after taking a bath would keep it hold longer, not to mention cleaner? I've discovered that when I realized the lashes don't stick together when I blow dry my hair. Hahaha.
Or if you're too lazy to blow dry, just make sure they are not sticking together when they dry or it would stay that way after and would hold more dirt. :)

A lot of people have asked me how to cook Teriyaki, and it is actually just easy to make.
I think this is one of the first recipes I learned.. The first one being Adobo. Hehe
So here is my version of Chicken Teriyaki.
Did you know that the work "teri" means glaze/shine and the work "yaki" means to fry/broil/grill? :)
You'll need: chicken legs/thighs, salt, 1tsp of garlic, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of mirin (you could use white wine instead if you don't have any), 1/4 cup of water, 1tbsp of honey (add 1 or 2 tbsp of sugar if using white wine).
Steps: 1. cut open the middle part of the chicken just on top of the bone, and pierce the entire chicken like a mad woman. LOL :p (you wouldn't need this step if you're using a boneless chicken)
2. put salt and garlic then set aside.
3. fry each side of the chicken for about 3 minutes, just until it is slightly brown. (I prefer to not put oil since there would a lot of oil coming from the chicken)
4. Add all the other ingredients and simmer for about 20 minutes and let the sauce dry to make it glaze while turning over the chicken once in a while for about 5-10 minutes.
There you go! Try it! :)

I AM SO LAZY.
My inspired days seems to be over, so I haven't posted about anything! Hahaha..
I also find my outfits at work these days boring. I tried to think about something, for the sake of posting, and here's what came up.
I just bought a cardigan at Bershka last week on sale.
On wednesday last week, we went there and saw it for 1290yen. I still find it pricey for a super thin out of season cardi so I didn't bought it then, but when I went back there last sunday, it was already 990yen! So I bought it along with this light gray jeans.
I'm thinking of doing an outfit post wearing the light gray jeans,
so let's focus on the white cardigan. lol
Hmmm.. yeah. My mood is on monotone, as well as my outfit. :p

As per request by my friend Emi (see her blog here), here's my version of easy peperoncino!
All you need are water, pasta, olive oil, salt, garlic and red pepper!
Procedures are just like my Pan-a-Pasta Recipe, but we need a lot of salt for this recipe,
so add 1 tbsp of salt for 3 cups of water.
Put the garlic after throwing away some of the water to let the pasta absorb the taste of garlic.
When the pasta is already cooked, pour in the olive oil and heat the garlic and red pepper until you see bubbles, then saute with the pasta.
Make sure to heat the garlic and red pepper properly until you start to smell the scent of the garlic (i think it's called oxidize?).
Top with fried garlic slices and parmesan cheese!

I saw a chicken dumpling recipe on TV last week, I wanted to try!
I tweaked it a bit to my liking and added/changed some ingredients. :)
You'll need about 300g of minced chicken meat, 1/4 (about 1 1/2 cup) cabbage, 1tbsp salt, half a stick of finely chopped spring onions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1tsp grated ginger, 2 tbsp bread crumbs or 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp sesame oil.
:Put salt on the cabbage and knead to take away excess moisture. You might want to wash it again then microwave it a few seconds too.
Mix all the other ingredients with the cabbage and wrap with the dumpling wrapper.
Steam on boiling water for about 8-10 minutes.
Make sure to not overcook so the meat won't be dry and flaky.
I love the crunchy texture of the cabbage and not to mention it's healthier.
Must try! :D
Today I am sharing how I cook my Pork Steak.
Yes, another easy recipe that you can do asap! Haha.
The first thing to do is sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic slices to the pork, then set aside for 30 mins.
Heat the pan and put olive oil.
Fry the pork for about 4-5 mind each side.
Now here's the unique part - Put about 1/4 cup of Mirin
(sweet sake used for cooking instead of normal white wine)!
Simmer for about 5-10 mins.
Done! :)
I swear it tastes good! Hehee

I haven't been blogging about my outfits lately.
That's because most of my outfits lately are just mix and matches of my old outfit posts
which I find too boring to blog in just one post, and I take pictures of my outfit during morning shifts when I am still alone at work, but most of my shifts this month are mid and late shifts!
So there, the photos of my outfits these past weeks.
The only thing new here are my 2 platform sandals! Hihi.
I also decided to go back to using the collage type photos for my outfit posts.
I think they are much nicer than the frame type. ;P

I am actually so stressed at work lately.
I have this co-worker that is so unstable. Everyone at work knows that what she says depends on her mood. At her worst, she likes to tattle stories of someone who pissed her off.
It might be biased by starting of like that, but yea, so this co-worker now is saying that some money apparently was missing from her wallet. And she's saying to almost everyone at work (except for our manager) that she thinks it is our shop manager who took the money.
What I hate about this situation is that, I think she is trying to brainwash me into being on her side. Actually, both of them is trying to talk me into taking their side. I try to be just neutral at any cases, but I actually like our manager more than my co-worker. Now I'm not very sure how to treat them both.
But what I hate more about this is that our manager is being irresponsible and weak about handling this incident. She's like talking to us asking for pity and answers that we can't give. Although I noticed she has improved a bit after me frankly saying these things to her. And well, after a thought, I actually can't blame her much. I just don't have enough room in my heart and mind to think for too since it really takes a lot of energy to be in the middle of all these.
Next to my stress addition is the new-comer who I think is a bit of a racist. I was trying to chat with her, while wondering if it's just me feeling that she answers snobbishly. Then she suddenly asked me (without answering my question) if I was from Japan or not. It irritated me so I answered her rudely. I am not sure what happened next, but she was politely nice after then. Haay.
You know these things will never go away. People discriminate people unconciously or not, whether they like it or not.
That's for my rant update. Lol. I tried to make it short so I am not sure if anyone could understand my post! But anyways, let's see how things would roll the coming days, which I am not too excited about. :p

Steps:
1. Microwave butter and chocolate for about 30 seconds and stir.

What could be easier than this?? LOL ;P

I once tried to make rice crispies, (you all know it's just similar to this, the difference is using rice crisps rather than cornflakes) and I am not sure what I did wrong but it was a fail.
So I was having 2nd thoughts if I should try making this too, but I was craving for something gooey! Haha.
Gooey Goodness it is!
You need 2-3 tbsp of butter, about 6 cups of marshmallows, 5 cups of cornflakes, chopped chocolates, and chocolate chips.
1. Melt marshmallows and butter on low heat.
2. Turn off the heat and add chopped chocolates.
3. Add the cornflakes and chocolate chips.
4. Put in a square container and let cool.
5. Cut into squares.
Totally easy-peasy!

Pound cakes are the most easiest cake to bake for me since all you have to do
is mix all the ingredients, put it in the container, then bake.
Aside from that, I also use hotcake mixes for baking that makes it a lot more easier! Hahaha ;P
A pound cake apparently are those made with a pound of each ingredients so that's a 1:1 ratio.
But I am not very familiar with pounds since I use grams/ml, a tbsp or a cup for measurement.
I am no pro and I just cook the easy ones like this,
but on this post, I am also sharing what I learned about ingredients ratio.
The basic ingredients for baking as you all know are
eggs, hotcake mix/flour+baking powder, butter, milk/water and sugar.
For one pound cake container, like that you can see below, you'll need 1 cup of hotcake mix.
For a cup of hm (or flour and baking powder), you'll need 80g to 20g of butter.
Butter adds flavor. The more butter you use, the more your cake will become moist and heavy.
You could also use oil if you prefer it light and rough.
More eggs will give you a fluffier texture.
I usually add milk or water depending on the thickness of the mixture I made.
Milk gives you a rich taste and I use water if I ran out of milk. ;p
The amount of sugar I put are equal to the amount of butter I used.
I just adjust it when I add other flavors (like chocolate) so the cake wouldn't be too sweet.
I should have made a basic plain cake today but there was a left over yogurt that I wanted to use so this is what I baked. ;P
Prepare: A cup of hotcake mix, 1 egg, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp of oil, about 5 tbsp of yogurt, 2tbsp of lemon juice, and 2 tbsp of honey.
Yogurt here works the same job as the butter, so there's less oil. Since lemon and honey are liquids, there's no need for milk/water. Just used 2 tbsp of sugar since honey is also sweet. So yep, you just adjust all the ingredients to make the perfect texture of the mixture and I just learned to measure somehow by my eyes as time went.
Procedure: Beat the egg and sugar well, add the yogurt then mix. Gradually add the hotcake mix while mixing, then add the lemon juice and honey. Pour on a container and bake for about 40 minutes.
I am not sure about the oven temperature since our microwave oven has a "cake" button. Hehe.
Oh, and another reminder is, do not over mix.
Bow! ;)
