-jane

ps: these cookies look super-yummy! i'm gonna go have some of the cookies i made today... happy holidays! :)

my melody!

hello! so, yup! is this font different? i don't know. well. whatever. so, today's topic is a Sanrio character called My Melody! she is my absolute favorite Sanrio character! she is sooooo adorable and cute. when i was younger, there was a My Melody Japanese cartoon which i watched like 5 times! i still watch it a lot because i can't get enough of how cute Melody is. CUUUUUTE!

have you guys noticed that i've been talking less about food? CONGRATS to me! yay! so. in the cartoon, another character called Kuromi is plotting against Melody but always fails. it's really cute and sometimes funny, too. the show has ended, but luckily i have some recordings of the show!

-(look behind you! Melody might be waving at you! just kidding.)

Inception

hello! i know i already posted something today, but i just saw this AMAZING movie and just HAD to write about it. this movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, who is awesome in it, and features different actors and actresses who have all been in plenty of movies. The movie is about, of course, inception, which means planting an idea in someone's head using dreams. ooh.... it sounds scary, but it's more of a sci-fi/action movie. it is AMAZINGLY EXTREMELY UNBELIVABLY good. really. you must go see it! inception. the movie. GO SEE IT!

ladida... jellyfish!

so i wasn't planning on writing about a specific topic today. i'm on vacation currently and won't be back until a couple weeks from now. so. well. i'm kind of bored--that's why i'm writing this. well. i'm blabbering right now. let's find something to talk about.

so during my vacation, i went to a park like Sea World and took a pic of this cool jellyfish:

<--isn't it cool?! i know. i have no clue what type of jellyfish this is, but all i know is that it was pret-ty hard to take a picture of. they kept moving around! they were bobbling around pretty slowly but were still VERY (i repeat, VERY) hard to capture. this is probably the only good photo i have of a jellyfish. well. this is a rare sight, isn't it? well. (i keep saying "well". it's my new lucky word!)

WELL! time to say farewell, goodbye. i will try and write some more later. have a jellyfish-ful day!

-blub, blub (what kind of a sound do jellyfish make anyways???!!!!)

bags and what i need inside them

hello there! okay, so our topic today is PURSES. or handbags, or carrying devices, if you want to call them that. i have a huge collection of bags, from cute animals to sparkly flower patterns. i probably get a new bag every few months. i even have a huge bag to stash (some of) my bags! obviously, i don't have enough room for all the bags in the world, but a girl can dream! one day, if i become a millionaire, i will buy the biggest closet in the world and stuff it full with all the bags i want.

so, what do i need to have inside my bag? i cannot live without lip balm! i can't go out with my lips all dry and cracked. that goes for my hands too (i need hand cream for that.) and have you tried eating with your hands all dirty and germy? we need hand sanitizer for that! so i like buying most of that hand/lip care stuff from Bath and Body Works. sometimes i can buy them for cheaper at drugstores. depends on what smell or kind i feel like getting. and of course, the necessities: wallet, keys, phone, etc. well. that's weird. why was i talking about what's in my bag???? hmmmm...

so, that's it for today. congratulate me for not talking about food today! (but beware, there's always tomorrow.) :)

summer drinks!

hey guys! i am here today to talk about summer drinks. they're KEWL! okay, i'll be talking about two today. here's the first one.

YUM! lemonade! i love, love, LOVE lemonade. it's so refreshing and sweet and sour at the same time! and the idea of a lemonade stand is so classic! my friend and i were going to have a stand, but apparently, we need a license to sell it at a park. oh well, i'll just hide out in my room drinking all the lemonade i can stomach.

if you haven't tried strawberry lemonade, you must be hiding under a rock. it's SO good! try blending lemonade with ice for a lemonade slush! OH, soooooooooo good! i want lemonade now!

okay, so.... SMOOTHIES! i love smoothies too. sweet, refreshing, almost exactly like lemonade. you can have so many flavors too! berry, straw-banana, orange, tropical, i've even seen pina-colada.

there i go again, talking about food. i apparently really love food. everytime i log on, my mind is like, "CUPCAKES! LEMONADE! BAKERIES! M&MS!" hopefully the next thing i post is about something non-food-related. wish me luck!

coffee shops... actually, latte art

hey there! okay, today's topic is... (drumroll) COFFEE SHOPS! they are so cool. you can order fruit smoothies, icy drinks, and if you order a latte, you might just get to see some latte art, like the one on the left! did you know that there is such thing as latte art competitions? i think our actual topic is latte art. whatever, coffee, latte, they're pretty much the same. okay... so i searched 'latte art' on google images and up came the cutest pics ever. here are a few!


ok, so there were only two (four actually if you count the animals as separate ones). but weren't they cool? there are all kinds of designs--hearts, spiderwebs, swirls, leaves, the list goes on and on. i love coffee shops, especially when going there with friends! (i don't know why, though.) maybe i'm a little young to drink coffee, but i can always have a smoothie (or if i'm at Starbucks, a frapuccino.)

okay, enough talking for now. why do i always talk about food?????? maybe i'll find something different to blab about. see ya!

waking up

as the sun rises behind your eyelids, you smile contentedly as you dream of lollipops and cotton candy... then, BRRRRRRRRRRRRING! your alarm clock goes off, stopping you from biting into that sweet fluffy candy.... "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" you scream in anguish. (well, maybe not.) all this is experienced in the process of waking up.

today i experienced the worst way of being waken up: a crow in the tree outside my room went "CAAAAAAAAW! CAAAAAAAAAW!" over and over again for pretty much ten minutes! i woke up thinking that there was a burglar or something and of course, i had to get up. URRRRRRRG. whatever, at least i woke up early. i got to watch TV! well, yeah. i'm pretty tired right now, so i guess i'll go now. talk to you guys later!

happy Canada Day!

hey! happy Canada Day! i love CD... so much red and white! it's cool! tee hee! my friend's birthday is on CD... so happy b-day you-know-who-you-are! today's entry will be short cuz i've got lots of stuff i have to do. like... eat a CD cake! no, not really. i'm sorry... i'm just kind of blabbing cause i don't have better stuff to talk about. WAIT! I JUST THOUGHT OF THE AWESOMEST TOPIC! POPSICLES!

yes! i love popsicles. so many possibilities! grape... cherry... orange... lime... strawberry... you can basically freeze anything and make it a popsicle! and the different TYPES.... fudgesicles... creamsicles... any kind of "-sicle" you can think of! popsicles are such a relief in summer... icy, cold, and crunchy, and super sweet to top it off! yummmmmmyyy! i want a popsicle now... *sigh*. too bad i don't have any at home. that light yellow popsicle in the upper left of the pic looks like a lemonade popsicle. now i want lemonade! i don't have any either. oh well.

i'm sorry--i always talk about food. but it's such a cool topic! you can talk about any food! yum yum! okay, time for me to go search for a popsicle in the endless artic we call the freezer. happy CD!

the end of june

it's almost actually summer! the hot july and august are about to come. ice cream, shopping, sunshine, cold drinks, ice cream... i love summer, but i love all the seasons for a reason. (you'll know them sooner or later.)

so, june... what was fun about june? school... saying goodbye to my classmates (that wasn't fun, it was just... memory-triggering.)... water fights... year-end trips... so much fun! and i loved the whole school year too, but i can't wait for the next one! i am so enthusiastic today! i was working with adorable little kids today, so maybe it's their hyperness transferred to me.

i love that picture of the field. i just want to lie down in it and watch the clouds. the one on the right looks like an airplane, doesn't it? i can't find any shapes for the rest, though. see if you can find one!

well, that was a short (kinda) post. have a great beginning-of-summer! (eat lotsa ice cream and drink lotsa Starbucks! because i like Starbucks.)
-tee hee! jane

babies galore!

it's been a busy last week of school, so i haven't had much time to write. i'm so sorry! i missed blogging... plus my computer got a virus. get well soon! anyways, today i'm here to talk about babies. at church, my friend and i said hi to the CUTEST baby ever! her name was Abigail and when we smiled at her, her tiny little mouth stretched into an adorable smile! soooooooo cute! then when we stood up to leave, her eyes widened and her eyebrows went up, as if she was scared we'd go! she was so cute, i couldn't bear to leave her! i especially love babies in onesies. they're so cute, and the word "onesies" is so weird and cute at the same time! i love, love, love cute stuff. especially with cute names! LIKE ONESIES! ahhhhh! Abigail was adorable and cute and i bet she's going to grow up to laugh even more than me! (oh! and then my friend and me shared a Japa-dog. It's a hot dog with Japanese mayo, seaweed, and dried fish flakes! and TERIYAKI sauce!) did you know that while filming in Vancouver, the Twilight cast had lotsa Japa-dogs. TOO GOOD!

(how come i always talk about food? hope you didn't fall asleep. toodles! [such a cute word!])
-jane, who loves food and cute words

M&Ms

hey there! today's fabulous topic: M&Ms! sweet milk chocolate with a crunchy rainbow candy shell. SOOOOO good! M&Ms are my absolute favorite candy, and i can go through a whole bag at the movies without stopping for breath! (just kidding.) i just had a handful of them (literally, i just poured them all into my mouth!) crunch! crunch! yum! yum! munch! munch! i will never, ever, ever stop loving M&Ms. they are the best candy ever made (like sour watermelon slices) and i can't get enough of them!

well, except for right now. i'm sick of them right now, but don't worry, tomorrow i'll be back to my usual status (an M&M-guzzling girl). if you ever plan to come between me and a giant bowl of M&Ms, don't. the last person who tried that--well, all that was left of him was his shoelace. (just kidding--again.)

so, what candy do you like? personally, i can't get enough of candy--except when i've had enough of it! (confusing, right? that's me!)
-have a candy-infused day! (even though it's also almost over!)

LAUGHING

hey there! so, our topic today is sooooooo awesome, it deserves all caps! LAUGHING! i don't know about you, but i love, love, love, love, love to laugh! did you know the average person laughs about 300 times a day? i assure you, i bet i laugh about a million times a day! there are times when i can't stop laughing at anything. once my friend said the word, "three", and i burst out laughing and couldn't stop. i also started laughing when i saw the picture of the laughing dog! so cute and hilarious! hahahahahaa! laughing is extremely healthy for you (i say it is) and it exercises your laugh muscles! (no, we don't actually have laugh muscles, but i wish we did!) my friend thinks that i laugh so much, one day my jaw is going to fall off. when he said that, i went into more laughing fits. i'm hopeless... but in a great way! :D

so do you like to laugh? i honestly can't imagine a life without laughing. you know the popular saying "live, love, laugh"? it just wouldn't be the same as "live and love". laughing is part of our everyday lives and is one of my most treasured abilities! (tee hee!--that was a giggle.)
-have a happy and laugh-filled day! (though it's mostly over!) ha-ha-ha!

fondue

hey! I'M SO SORRY i haven't written in a week. i was so busy with homework, lessons, that kind of stuff. so our topic today is fondue. it's where you melt cheese or chocolate into a bowl then dip all kinds of yummy stuff, such as fruit (in the chocolate) or bread (in the cheese). yum, yum! i also love chocolate fountains. they're kinda the same thing, except the word fondue seems so much... French-er, doesn't it? think about it... fondue compared to fountain. see the difference? maybe i'll name my future cat Fondue. did you know that Haagen Dazs (the Polish brand of yummy ice cream) has made an ice-cream fondue, complete with a chocolate fondue bowl-thing and ice-cream balls to dip in? sooooo cute and yummy-looking! in Hong Kong, you can find multiple buffet dinners in fancy hotels with chocolate fountains. i haven't seen a big bowl of fondue yet, though! the cutest thing to dip in the fountains are marshmallows! so sweet, squishy, soft, and puffy... too good. i love talking about food. why? i'd like everyone to be able to "taste" the description of the food!

i'm sorry, this post was kinda long. hope you didn't get bored!!! see you later!

monet

hey again. so our final topic of the day is Monet. Claude Monet. ooh, i got all James Bond-y back there. anyways, to the left is one of my favorite paintings by him. it's called The Artist's House at Argenteuil. a weird name, but the painting is so simple and detailed at the same time. it's a house and the pavement next to it, but you can imagine yourself in the place of that child in front of the house. the painting looks so calm and serene that i can't help admire how Monet managed to make something look so real but so simple at the same time. it makes you really think, doesn't it?

happy sunday!

popcorn

hiya! okay, today's awesome topic is popcorn. i especially love Kernel's popcorn. so many delicious flavors... cheddar, caramel, rainbow, dill pickle... the possibilites are endless! (just like in bakeries!) i prefer flavored popcorn to that buttered movie popcorn--it's tasty, but very un-original. really, movie theaters could do much better. anyways, popcorn. light and fluffy and crunchy and delectable! popcorn is SOOOOOOOOO good. whether you're enjoying it at the movies (with that unoriginal butter flavor) or just eating it for a yummy snack, popcorn is never unsuitable! (i sound like an advertisement!) call 1-800-POPCORN now for all the possibilities of popcorn!

the weekend

<---ahh, the weekend is finally here... don't you just love being able to do whatever you want? (as long as your parents are okay with it, that is.) i really like this picture of the lavender field. i think it might be in france or something. it looks so serene and peaceful... anyways, i hope you'll have a great weekend!

<---our next topic deserves a capital letter: Bakeries. don't you think they're just awesome? i certainly do! so many varieties of baked goods? muffins, cookies, bread, scones, cake... my mouth waters just thinking of all the goodies! one of my fave places is Cobs Bread. their food is healthy, natural, and delicious! you can even find seasonal treats there. too good! anyways, i love bakeries. especially cookies! and scones! and... oh, let's just say i love everything! call me a pig!

i hope you'll get a chance to visit a bakery during the weekend. have a good one!

greek cupcakes

<--- ok, so my class is doing a unit on ancient greece. my friend and i are making a trojan horse for our project. we made the horse from paper mache and glued it onto a foam base with foam wheels. it's pretty good so far! it's due tomorrow (fri. jun 4) so i'm nervous but confident we'll do ok!

<---on to our next topic: cupcakes. isn't that pic soooooo cute? i don't like choco/vanilla cupcakes that much, but i recently tried a red velvet cupcake, which is actually red-colored cupcake that tastes like chocolate mixed with vanilla. it had cream cheese frosting on top. YUUUUUUMMMM! what cupcake flavor do you like?

-jane

suntanning

my wonderful dog loves suntanning, so around 4 pm he was stretched out on the hardwood floor sleeping in the sun that came in from the balcony. well, it looked pretty fun, so i tried it. i almost fell asleep! the warm sun shining down on the back of your eyelids... well, anyways, make sure you remember to wear sunscreen to the beach!

that reminds me... time to go suntan again before the sun sets!

the jonas mermaids

the Jonas Brothers--ok, i know not many people like them, but you gotta admit, they've got at least one song that we like. "Paranoid", "SOS", "Lovebug"? those are just a few songs i've heard. i admire them for their passion, they really throw themselves into the music.

the jbs were kinda a random topic, so let's talk about something... less random. the movie The Little Mermaid! when i was about 4 or 6 or something, i was in love with the movie. i seriously wanted to jump into the ocean and see if my legs would turn into a tail. yeah. well, i always thought Ariel should be brunette or dark haired, because red clashes with her purple top and green tail. those Disney people should hire a fashion designer to help with the mermaid outfits. but then again, ariel is the main character. she should stand out. but still! her 6 sisters are all matchy-matchy and then ariel comes in red, purple, and green. merry christmas with grapes splattered all over it! yeah, i'm sorry for the strange title. BLOGGING IS SO MUCH FUN, i can't stop. you should try it sometime!

mouthwash

so i was emailing my friend Kaylene (she has her own blog too) and reminded her to brush her teeth and floss. (i know...) she asked me if i used mouthwash, and i spent a whole 3 sentences talking about mouthwash! i know, right???? so anyways, i thought i'd write something about mouthwash. i hate the brand Listerine. i don't know why, i only tried their mouthwash in the orange flavor and it tasted like burning garbage, if you can think about what that tastes like.

a few months ago, i had this berry flavored mouthwash that makes the food bits left in your mouth blue so you can see the gunk in your teeth when you spit it out. i used it all up not because i felt that my teeth felt better, but because the berry flavor tasted extremely good. seriously, if it was edible, i'd drink it!

ok, enough about mouthwash. i'm going to go eat some strawberry yogurt.

hiya!

hey there. my name's jane and i just created this blog for no reason at all. we all need things to do while we're bored... anyways, i like reading, singing, and listening to music. my favorite food is... actually, i have no idea. i like a lot of stuff! i can't tell you my favorite drink, book, song, or animal either. well, maybe you can get an idea from the entries in this blog. enjoy!!!
