Oasis - Some Might Say
I LOVE this song!!!! I love 90's rock so much, but if you listen through a whole 90's CD, it sounds like all the tracks can be meshed into one song! You wouldn't be able to tell the difference!! Not with Oasis. LOVE THEM!!!!
Sorry for my little 90's fangirl-sim....,

Manga Review #2: "Kitchen Princess Omnibus 1"
T'was a beautiful day of the weekend!! Ended up at a park and wanted to climb a tree. Here she is:
It was so fun, nostalgic, painful, and scary at the same time! That probably was my last shot though, unless you wanna see, like a 30 year old me, climbing a tree. (That rhymed! awkward...) I was trying to read "Kitchen Princess"....
Deep breath! Here I go! You know those manga series where you are all like "This seems like one of those too-mainstream girly comics! It's not going to be any good! It's going to appeal to the 5 year old girl population!" Way wrong.
The art makes me feel happy! Because the original release in Japanese was in 2005, its style leaned toward that era's "big kawaii eye" look! The story does begin with something adorable. Another worthy note of this manga is you can easily see the antagonist's strong passion and hate within this 2-volume omnibus edition. The storyline is even just simple and fun! Food is always being mentioned of course and it is always so kawaii! :)
Art (Did the author seem to care about the art?; does its style have appeal?): A
Plot (With the exception of Slice-of-life manga, does the story keep you engaged?): B+
Characters?: C+
Is the Dialogue Up-to-par?: B-
Will I continue the series?: Yes.
Rated: T for Teen (A few intense situations, like fighting eating disorders; bullying)
Authors: Natsumi Ando & Miyuki Kobayashi
Plot Synthesis:
"Najika is a great cook and likes to make meals for the people she loves. But something is missing from her life. When she was a child, she met a boy who touched her heart--and now Najika is determined to find him. The only clue she has is a silver spoon that leads her to the prestigious Seika Academy. Attending Seika will be a challenge. Every kid at the school has a special talent, and the girls in Najika's class think she doesn't deserve to be there. But Sora and Daichi, two popular brothers who barely speak to each other, recognize Najika's cooking for what it is--magical. Is either boy Najika's mysterious prince?" (Amazon.com).
*Spoiler: At the end of each volume, THERE IS A COLLECTION of all the recipes Najika made in the manga!!! They share Najika's Flan in a cup, Taramasalata, Rainbow Jelly, Christmas Cookies, and Onion Gratin Soup recipes in the back of volume one! You will have to look at the others yourself ;)
So once I finish reading the manga series, (5 omnibus volumes) I will be happy to share my final review!

Food Porn #2: Things are getting a little perfumey!
I love perfumey treats! The infusion suits my taste. Here are a bunch of the things I had this week! ^^
Not to mention I had some peach-flavored black tea with some creamer and sugar in it! Amazing! You need to have a few shortbread cookie squares on hand with it though! I'm going to make it a bit more classy sometime (not use creamer) and serve it in a teapot. And make my own buttery shortbread cookies. Yeah. Sounds like a great plan!
Many people and cultures adore perfume-like foods. Are there any somebody is willing to share that is relevant to their culture? Anyone have a favorite indulgence?
 |
| Left to Right: Ghirardelli Intense Dark Cabernet Matinee Chocolate, Lindt Excellence Passion Fruit dark chocolate, & Noosa Passionfruit yoghurt. |
 |
| Wildflower Bread Co. has a wicked 'Georgia Peach' smoothie! It has a hint of lavender and precious whipped cream on top! Best part is the bottom where the whipped cream and lavender meet! |
 |
| Um, who doesn't love Red Bulls & Sparkling Blackberry Izzes?! |

Chapter 8: 'Rejection is the real deal. WTF do I do now?!'
Rejection is insane. Yes I know! This article is going to be for both guys and girls, yup. I'll do my best! So the thesis for this post? I guess it's 'What a relationship really is, how to deal with the stab in (your) heart, and how to take it out without dying and heal in the end!'.
Did you just go through a breakup? I encourage you to read this article step-by-step then! For example, if you are still 'healing', do not proceed to step #4 ;)
#1) <3 <3 Love is....
Okay, everyone has their own definition of Love. Love is does not have a manual. My writings are only opinion, but hopefully good advice. We gain Love through experience. Love should be attainted through Loving yourself first! There in no way you can emotionally take in another person for a relationship if you're insecure. Love who you want. Even if gender, religion, family, age, class, or abilities differ. BUT be realistic about it. For example, numerous divorces take play from financial strain. If you're planning on marrying one day, but know deep down 'this is not going to work', REALLY consider how much hell will be waiting down the road. Love conquers all but in certain situations, it really will not last.
NEVER mistake dependence, narcissism, sex, pressure (e.g. I have to be married by 22!), or loneliness for Love!
So now I'm asking you. "What is YOUR definition of Love?"
*I think this'll look great in your journal, a little doodle, or even a sign for your wall! ;)
I welcome all who are willing to share :)
#2) <---<-3----<< I'm Enjoying Love
Love is a journey. Enjoy it! Everything will fall into play like it is supposed to. You cannot control destiny, even if you look it in the eye and even think about it. Anything you do, is supposed to happen. 99.9% of the time, your first Love will NOT be your last. It always sounds romantic (especially to the ladies...) that you will be marrying your first Love. Don't think that, really. Have fun! Go on group dates, remember your favorite dates, find what you Love about your person.
#3) </3 Save me, I'm Drowning
In person, in text, over the phone....It sucks! Cry. Do not visit them! Don't even look at them. Instead of seeing someone that is not a part of you anymore, go visit your friends and family! Surround, Surround, Surround. And delete everything physically possible! Journal, Facebook relations, gifts, contact lists, photos, you get it! SHRED SHRED SHRED! You're going to be so happy surrounding yourself with people who automatically take you for who you are. They are saving you! You'll always be thanking them--for saving you from drowning.
Best (and truly tried) Healing Activities:
1. Bonfire!
Do this even if it's by yourself! Crack out your fav snacks (in my case Redbull, exotic chocolate....) and set fire to all your so-called Love poems, letters, preferably in a fire pit. And please comply with local law! Who doesn't Love fire?! And the evidence is all gone!
2. Service!
You think your life sucks? Well, someone out there has it a lot worse. So do something really sweet for them and be by their side. And you guys are going to be there for each other. You will feel so enlightened that you are lifting weight off another person's shoulders. Keep seeing them! :)
3. Stay Single if Possible!
Enjoy what was not possible before! Also, it is not always a good idea to immediately jump into a relationship right after one was put to an end! It's time to take care of yourself and have fun!!
4. Just laugh!
I am not joking. Even if you pretend you're laughing (Like saying AhahahahaHAHAHA!) You're triggering a gland in your chest. It releases endorphins! So laugh the night away! Watch some wicked youtube videos! Here is my current fav! (Invisible Drive-Thru Prank)
#4) <3! I'm just so, so....HAPPY!
You're healed! And you gained more experience! Experience set aside, ALWAYS remember how you felt! This will be the only thing you will truly take away with you!
What qualities can a potential partner NEVER have now? What were some of your mistakes in the relationship? (Surprisingly many people skip this step!) What are YOUR biggest strengths that make you an awesome catch as a significant other?
Here are some words of wisdom that have caught my eye while I was writing this article:
