How I Make our Tonkatsu

Tonkatsu (breaded pork) is one of my favorite dishes, especially with the sauce. And nothing beats eat-all you-can-without-worrying-about-the-price-homemade tonkatsu for me! Haha! I am not sure about other countries, but here in Japan, most people usually brush the flour to the pork (on a flour tray), dip the pork to the beated eggs (on a different...

chirbit!

I was surfing the net, and found this site that could record your voice, and share it on other networking sites like facebook and twitter, etc! So I played and tried to record my voice singing a stanza on First Love by Utada Hikaru. Yep, so there goes my voice! Hahahaha! :P <p><p><p><p><p><p><p>If...

Thought of the day

"People see what they only want to see." That is the quote that is in my thoughts nowadays. I personally think that this quote is true. Our minds unconciously mold what we see and think into something that is more convenient for us. Something that would not hurt our own mind and ego. It is our protection barrier for our own little world. Now don't try denying that you are not one of them. It is actually my greatest pet peeve, I must say. People...

Ethnic Print Tunic

It's been awhile since my last What I Wore blog post, but this time,  I'm making it "How I Wore" post.  On the left is a forest girl type outfit. I paired it with my tulle skirt. It is kind of tricky to wear something loose (with a full long bottom) without looking frumpy and like a dag, but the easiest answer is to wear a vertical...

Hanami in Kyoto

Sharing photos from our first Kyoto trip last saturday for our family's annual hanami. The city is not very stroller friendly since the road has too many slopes and the main source of transportation there are buses. We were not able to go inside the Kiyomizu temple and some other tourist spots due to that. Over all, the city is so beautiful...

Close the Window, Calm the Light

I'm sorry it might be a little too much of a highschool girl thing, but a song came to my mind and I thought to post it here so I wouldn't have to search for the lyrics everytime I remember. I am singing for myself! ;p Outside the rain begins and it may never end So cry no more on the shore A dream will take us out to sea Forever more forever more Close your eyes and dream And and you can be with me 'Neath the waves through the caves of hours Long...

DIY nail stickers

Saw this DIY nail sticker photo on pinterest and decided to try this too. Photo: thebeautydepartment.com And this is the outcome As I was doing it, I remembered I wasn't good with scissors and cannot barely make a straight line (strips) so I made squares instead. Then I added the dots using my dotting pen. I think this design would be...

Lilac and Yellow

Another try on my dotting pens! Painted all my nails first with lilac, let it dry completely, put a tape (I used scrapbooking tape) to cover the lower half, painted the tips with yellow, wait for it to dry, then put the dots (you could actually use bobby pins or toothpicks). Now make sure to really let dry completely before doing the next...

Let's do the polka!

I saw a post on youtube and on a blog I've landed on, on how to do polkadot nails.. It was easy I thought I'd do it myself! So I bought a cheap dotting pen on the internet and some colorful nail polish.  The dotting pen costs about 1000yen and canmake nail polish are just about 380yen. I like canmake makeups among the cheap drugstore brands...
