Poem #2: "Why did you Lose?"

"Why did you Lose?" 
Written by: Temo 

"I can remember the past days, 

where I had no clue. 
I am still thinking it through. 
Are you really sorry,
for the things that you had done?
I'd say yes, 
if I could decide, 
because I am seeing it in your eyes. 
Why did you lose? 
And how could you lose?"

CD Review #6: "Carly Rae Jepsen: Kiss"

CD Review #6: Carly Rae Jepsen "Kiss" (2012)

I was not aware that there was a deluxe version of this album. I always regret not going that route! It's packed with 4 more songs. I have no clue what they are. The electronic beats in this album reminds me of sprinkles being poured at like a bake fest at a sleepover or something! I can totally imagine little teens listening to this CD at a sleepover, but I am no kid at any sleepover and I still love it! 



Number of 'F bombs': She doesn't cuss! Omg! ;p 
It is her: 1st album. 
My rating (Out of 10 stars): 7
Compared to the other Pop-genre CDs, I'd give this one: 3.75/5 stars!
Explicit: No way! Her songs are pure light and pure of heart! I heard h*** though like 2 times.
Am I happy this is part of my Collection?: Yes
Value (does the music out-weigh the cost?): 6.25/10



My ranking: 

1) "Tiny Little Bows" -----I love her reference to 'the tiny little bows'! 
2) "More than a Memory" 
3) "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" -----Electronic beat kicks ***! 
4) "Good Time" 
5) "This Kiss"
6) "Hurt So Good"
7) "Beautiful"   ----This is not a pop song, but more of an acoustic song! 
8) "Guitar String/Wedding Ring" -----I felt the album start to lag right here. 
9) "Curiosity" 
10) "Turn me up" 
11) "Your Heart is a Muscle" 
12) "Call Me Maybe" -----may be her hit single, but I'm so sick of hearing it! 


Oh! & I couldn't resist! Isn't her album art JUST ADORABLE!?


Now I just want sugar cookies....with sprinkles,

Food Porn #5: "More of the Things I Enjoy..."

Yes! Wait no! It's getting too hot again! So here comes the cool-refreshing food cravings! A giant dill pickle (sealed in a bag!) at the convenience store + a large coke zero= 0 calorie happiness!

And when you want to take the calories back, you may go over to Starbucks and customize your own Crunch Berry (it's a cereal) frappacino!


As you can see above, a barista gave me very specific instructions! 


Captain Crunch Frappacino (Secret Recipe):

Order a strawberry creme frappacino.
Ask them to put in a pump of toffee-nut syrup (this will cost slightly extra)
Also ask them to put in chips!
Include the whipped cream for the needed indulgence.
Wait and please be nice to the barista.
Otherwise they will spit in your drink.
(JUST KIDDING!)


It tastes just like it said its supposed to be! 

I also tried a spoonful of 'Trader Joe's' Cookie Butter! I wish this was around when I was a kid! Because obviously eating cookie butter from a spoon is higher class than with the peanut butter stuff we had back when! 


+ 


= Pure Love! 


Also at Sonic, I was able to test out their 'fudge brownie molten cake sundae'! Impressive for $4.50! Includes a whipped cream plus cherry! ;) 

Finally, I had picked up a saran wrapped to-go Spam Musubi! It is now a common Hawaiian snack, and molded into a convenient shape-smiliar as to a rice ball. There's the rice, than the fried slice of spam (lightly fried with sweetened teriyaki sauce), and finally wrapped in the nori! (Sushi seaweed) 


Which one will you try first? ,


------Temo 

P.S.  I forgot another thing! If you have the chance to combine 20 different fruit salads, then no doubt do it! I reached into the fridge unaware of what the bowl was holding and was all like "This fruit salad is really good" did you make it? 
"No, but we all pitched in making it." 
"What do you mean?!" 
"Well, we had like 20 different fruit salads left over, so we combined them all into one bowl to make things easier." 
(Totally works for me by the way. Convenience-driven or not!)

Chapter 10: 'How my St. Patricks Day Went!'

I apologize for my huge lack of posts this week! School and work is my number one priority right now. The good news is I did not fall off the face of the earth and a few eventful posts should be coming-up! I'm finishing an awesome anime series AND since you guys really seem to like my 'Food Porn' write-ups, there will be another one here as well. 


Despite the fact that I do not drink and I did not make corned beef and cabbage, my St. Patty's day was eventful this year! I wish I can show more pictures!
Hung out with my fam in a park and we had lots of kettle corn, watermelon, and lemonade! We kept feeding our dogs the popcorn! XP
Frisbee was included in the package! I was so terrible at chucking the thing!

would you wear this? 


It wasn't over.
A friend and I then decided to go to a sushi joint! She was all like 'Let's just order a bunch of things!' 
Calamari was one of my favs!!!!  
and so was the lotus roll.....
Diet epic fail!

Then,
We saw the movie "21 and Over"!!!!
I didn't feel guilty for bringing a coffee in because guess what? The pack sitting next to us brought 'In-n-out'!! 

The movie had me edging off my seat! 
My $5 popcorn spilled over the floor, mouth agape, coffee in my hand, my laughing went uncensored!
And a bit of the audience clapped at the end. Another good sign!

A buffalo, a 'few' sorority mobs, crazy (and drunk) Jeff Chang, "Getting Down"? Yeah this movie is the crazy cat lady of randomness. You probably should see the trailer! It's very crude though so I'll leave that to your own devices. 
And I am warning you this is an extremely crude rated-r movie so I wouldn't recommend anyone without their ID card to go see it! 


So far, my favorite movie! It couldn't get any better.

P.S. I kept describing it as funny as "The Hangover" but 3-fold, but ironically, it was from the writers of "The Hangover"! Go figure!

Poem #1: "I"

"I" 
written by: Temo

"Has anyone wondered why the word "I " is capitalized? 
I  have the answer. 
Past lives are real. You give titles to proper things, especially names. 
Am I  correct? 
Such as Abraham LIncoln, San Francisco, and the like. 
But why refer to yourself as "I "? Not 'i', 'myself', 'my being'? Or am I  just being silly?  
But it is because it is a story within a story. 
Throughout history as it unfolds, 
as many lives as I  am going through, 
it is I the whole time."
