Sparkleglitterpinklaserbeam desu~

I have a confession to make, I am a MANGA NERD. Sadly I also have a life, and ACTUALLY do sports. I don't sit around making cosplay costumes that'll make me look fat ( I would be L though, cheap) anyways, let's cut to the chase!


Some few mangas that I recommend :


- Innocent life
Why? Daisy Yamada with her charming cute drawing has done it again, Innocent life is such a great oneshot to read. She captures everyday not-so-usual-yet-usual problems (such as divorce etc) and squeeze in it to several chapters.


- Love! Wan
Why? When a sweet school girl saves her life for a dog, the great dog-senin has granted her a special power to turn other people into dogs! A very sweet manga, I love the little comedic acts and the weird twists in the plot. The drawing is also very very cute


- Switch Girl!!
Why? One word : Hilariouslyromantic. The character Nia has switches, when she's on she turns into the schools idol and friend but when she's off she turns into a Lazy, cranky otaku. No one knows however she is discovered by a guy who also has "Switch on/off". The drawings of Nia On/Off really contrast!


I actually have more to recommend but I my fingers feel weird. I shouldn't have washed my hands with sunlight.

Patty Cake Patty Cake Bake Me A Cake

I just baked a batch of cookies. Honestly I haven't baked for a really long time. I just felt like baking or actually doing something today. Anyways, I lost my original recipe so I decided to take on an internett recipe and make it my own by replacing and adding a few ingredeints. The result? not bad I guess, I burnt the first few but the rest turned out nice an golden brown. Yeah I lost my concentration after the GCSE, joke. I was distracted a bit :)



Now after that a friend texted me asking if I can bake cheesecakes. Then I suddenly remember that I made it once with ol'mom but that was ages ago. Now I'm sitting here wondering about "Can I make a cheap tiramisu like I've always dreamt of?"



The Original is simply coffe soaked ladyfingers, and layered with alcoholish cream topped with some coffee powder.



Problem :

1.Ladyfingers are kinda hard to get in indonesia and also expensive, and needs a pro to make it right

2. I'm a muslim we can't have any alcohol in our foods

3. Mascarpone cheese is very expensive and hard to find.



Solution :

1. we change the ladyfingers to castella bread or pound bread. It's basically a sweet bread, and to make it ladyfinger-ish dry them like biscotti. Pound bread is a pound of butter, milk, sugar, flour and an egg or two : Pound bread

2. Now the alcohol part is kinda hard to skip, if we do we would have no heavy feel in the cake. But look at the bright side less calories!

3. Marcarpone cheese , we can actually make this stuff by adding some lemon water and putting it in a cloth. but that would take longer time, I suggest we use regular cream cheese or again yogurt set.



Man I wonder how they'll taste like, but this will be cheaper for an Indonesian students wallet :)

I Wish My Grandpa Looked Like You

Today I went to the movies. Alone. Again. I watched Karate Kid, I thought it was going to be some remake of the old Karate Kid ( the one that had Mr. Miyagi) founds out I was right. Let's review them



The plot(s):

Karate kid (Old) & Karate kid (New) : The main character moves to another city/country, talks to a pretty girl he likes and gets beaten up by a martial arts bully. And almost beats them up unconsciously til the handyman (who's actually a martial arts "master") comes up and stops the them. Then one way or another the handyman agrees on training them and showing the "right" way of kungfu/karate by doing simple everyday things. Then they battle in a tournament and advances til the semi-final where they battle their opponets team mate. The team mate gets an order from their sensei/laoshi to break our main characters leg. Our main characters leg is now broken but by using their handymans magical-chi power they recover and battle their final opponent: The bully. Bom and bang our main character wins. [ insert moral stuff here] The End.

Actually both were pretty good in their own way, but I grew up with the original karate kid and the whole "new" Karate kid rips off the old one. I don't know what the storyboard producers were thinking but the whole plot were so similar that the only few differences were that Daniel moved to L.A. and Jaden moved to China. What's the point in making a new karate kid movie when the original one kicks more ass then the new one? Sorry but Miyagi is winning this one, No one likes a rip-off. But points for the asians in the New Karate Kid though, me likey the yellow people.

Push Away Your Ego

I just read an article about 6 Unkown people who probably saved your life. And one of them caught my eye. James harrison, not the all-american football player who earned 2 superbowl rings.


But the guy who was unselfish and noble enough to give up his blood regularly to save more than 2 million babies. It all started when he was 14, when he received a life saving blood transfusion ( More than 13 liters!) which he needed to proceed with his chest operation. Shortly after that he was so grateful that he pledged to donate his blood for the better.




Founds out that the James had a super rare enzym in his body, which can prevent humans from the rheum disease ( when a mothers antibody attacks her baby, mistaking it for a "foreign" object") well read the article, the site is pretty much good too.



Reminds me of the nameless soldier that saved france. Except that we actually know his name, but you get the point! Browse around that site, learn a thing or two about the randomness I do when school's out.

Hot like the grassfield

Ok I just watched Ned vs. Den, and stupid me I just realized. ALL SOCCERPLAYERS ARE HOT, well more like attractive. ( I'm a girl, feel my soccerguycraze)

and one thing I found this really weird doll called the "Skipper" doll, it's supposed to be barbie's younger sister, unfortunately they stopped producing these toys. Why you may ask , well "Skipper" is actually a "growing" doll. When you wind up her right arm it grows one inch taller and get this it grows BOOBS too!





It looks innocent and actually really cute right? But no it had too grow boobs. Personally for me this is really cool! but for the mommies and daddies who was so distracted by work to buy their little girls (and possible young homosexual who are just dying to take off that ugh of a skirt off her). Weeeeell let's just say mattel got some complaints

Don't believe me ? Click here, I promise Skipper will love it

Curiousity Killed the Girl

For these past days I've been wondering about weird stuff like " Where do hemofrodite people "go" when they're in a public place?" and " Why wasn't that door push? It felt like a push door" and even " Why does the black guy always get killed first in horror movies?"

Then I ask myself again, reaching the curious thoughts in my head. Suddenly it talked to me about serious matters that even I was surprised of! Wow I thought that my head was dominated with comics, school, cartoons,music and smutty skeet.

Then suddenly fear, hopes, dreams and even some problems here and there were dominating my head in that little hour. It's as if these thoughts have been stored in a vault for so long that it finally leaked out, bursted out from that vault.

Luckily I came back to normal, and my brain fixed that vault!

Sctoopid stuff I did from the last post til now
- Pissed someone off because of this vault ( Sorry )
- Walked into a glass door
- Made a huge mistake on the laptop , and was forced to reinstall
- Got lost in a mall, and passed the same stores 3 times
- Was catcalled and FELL

My GCSE are finished and I don't feel like gaming my butt out. Sad

I'm getting old, I'm getting wise

Well hello again readers! For some reason I opened up my laptop and had a sudden urge to blog. Great I sound even more like a lifeless nerd.

Oh well let's sum up what I've learned this week, well more like the advice I've gotten this week :

- Your type is never your type ( Cindoys )
- Don't tease if you won't play ( Cooler than cold Chris )
- When there's 2 boxes of pizza, ambush it
- Keep your distance from certain people
- Defeating a floor 2 monster from The Weald , when your MP is down is a darnright bad idea
- Digging around your closet at 1am is actually a good idea
- Comics do you good especially (Gakuen Alice and Aishiteruze Baby )

Sounds of the Nerd

I may admit that, I'm a lousy blogger.
I don't update much, and abandon it for videogames.

But, I LOVE reading other people's blogs. It like reading their personal diary, their thoughts, opinions and even get to see how fanatical they are over the current hot-band/guy/actress/actor/model/-you-get-the-point. And even some blogs put up pictures of their "personal style" and even some yummy recipes. (My fave is The Beantown Baker )

So if I'm not replying twitter/MSN-or-like-whatever it means that I'm recipe hunting, or that I'm in the Lava cleft fighting off a floor 3 monster off.
