A Rather Random Post

Hello everyone! How have the past few days been for you guys? Well, I do read most of your blogs so I know what's been happening to some of you, but not all of you, which is understandable since some have either not been updating or don't have blogs (?). Also, sorry but am I rambling?

Anyway, my summer with the family has been going great so far and they've been spoiling me by taking me to most of my favorite restaurants that I don't normally get to eat at with my normally rather limited college student budget so my yearly-but-never-really-put-into-practice-diet is shot once again.

Here's a picture of panda sushi just for the heck of it. (but also since it's really cute)

I probably won't be able to update much this summer but I will still try to every once in a while. However, I will continue to visit your blogs and comment. 

In other news, I've become rather obsessed with owning a bunny. I don't really know why but I've been thinking a lot about becoming responsible for a bunny on top of caring for my Red-eared slider turtle Ross and my 5 goldfishies. Because seriously, how can you resist this:

ENWJLDDASKFA!

Of course being responsible (or trying to, at least) I did some research and there were a lot of threads online that discouraged people from getting rabbits. Mostly because they claimed it was really hard work and that rabbits need a lot of attention, etc. etc. Of course, this hasn't really discouraged me but I've sort of accepted the fact that maybe now isn't the right time for me to get a rabbit. Boo-hoo. Oh well.

Before I end this post, here's a commercial that I found quite funny mostly because of the added subtitles. Check it: 

YO! He's about to eat.

Aaaaand I'm out,

Spidey and Venom Look Good Together

So as I've mentioned in the past few posts, it's summer right now and to make being a bum at home seem more glorious, I've decided to try drawing superhero characters. I've always been a comic book fan ever since I was a kid and right now I have a ton of ideas for superheroes (and a few supervillains) but I find it frustrating that I can't really materialize my ideas onto paper, so I'm learning from a few tutorials online. Hopefully, I'll be good enough in the future to not need tutorials and be able to draw my own characters.

Anyway, since I'm a huge fan of Spidey and Venom, I naturally tried drawing them first. Please do not laugh too much at my cheap sketches. *whimpers* This is a first time thing, so be nice. Haha.

Spiderman was really easy to sketch but I don't like how he turned out. I found Venom extremely difficult to sketch and often started over, but I love the final product. I also adore their chibi versions.

In other news, my parents and my little brother are coming to visit this Friday. They'll be here until the 27th. We will probably use this time to go to some awesome beaches and soak up some sun (Also the perfect time for me to have that strawberry banana shake). On the 27th, we'll all board a plane bound for Jeddah before stopping over at Hong Kong for four days and we'll probably visit Hong Kong Disneyland (hooray!) and some other places.

Once my summer vacation is up, I'll probably fly back here with my little brother since he'll also be studying here with me. Then, I'm going to have to face an even harder school year. Oh and I'm also going to have to babysit my 13 year old arch-enemy. Urgh. But whatever, all that still seems so far away.

Summer 2011, please be insanely awesome.

Sincerely,

#2 Connecting With Strangers (L)

Last Sunday, I was at the grocery hogging all the free grape samples (what? do not judge) and shoving random junk food for the week into my shopping basket when this middle-aged woman who is a bit on the heavier side walks past and she's wearing this weird outfit.

The woman was wearing a top that was cut really low in front and was not zipped up in the back because it was already extremely tight and there was no way she could zip it up even if she wanted to. She was literally walking around the supermarket with her top not zipped up. She was also wearing this tight mini skirt that hugged her curves in all the wrong places and sky-high heels. She walked like she was all that (even though she was not) and had her lips pouted and everything (oh and did I mention that her face was so caked in makeup that she looked like a clown?) and I just stared at her in stunned silence for a while with my jaw probably half-open.

She looked like this but with more makeup.

I turned to this little old woman beside me who was grocery shopping too and she had the same look on her face. We looked at each other and each gave the did-you-just-see-what-i-saw looks before nodding and half-laughing in agreement. Connecting with that old woman felt awesome. There's just something about sharing a little laugh with a complete stranger about some other weird stranger.

Zing,

Sucker Punch: Awesome or Not?

I watched Sucker Punch after 2 days of no sleep and cramming while high on sugar. I was so out of it that I didn't get whatever was happening on-screen. Haha. But after a well-deserved night of sleep, here's my two cents:

Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD

I loved that pink bunny robot. It was pretty sweet.
