Put on a hat

Today I had *mösspåtagning* which I gues is a weird tradition, you sing some old songs and listen to the principals speech and put on this hat. Yeah... I made mine a little differently :P


Anyway it was fun, a little cold but I got to go shopping with my friend Jenny, and ate ice cream afterwards ~


Yeah design ~~>

Daily MV's: Every Single Day - It's a Lucky Day

My New Ringtone!
So as I said before I have been watching alot of shows while I was at home sick. This is the Korean Drama Pastas main OST. And it's awesome. Very cheerful pop/rock song.


About the video, now I'm not sure this is the official mv, but it seems so. Looks like it was made in windows movie maker, that bad xD  no no it's actually refreshing to see just guys at a club playing an awesome song, you don't need all the fancy background colors, dancers, lights etc just a few different angles and them playing is just enough, they used a little stop motion effects, cute. Anyway enjoy the song :D

Art~

So I had a week break from school, and of course I got sick -.- typical. So what have I been doing_ I have been spending time with my brother living as we did years ago, by playing Pokemon sapphire and watching yugioh, no joke. It was great 8D I'm still going to watch yugioh it's a pretty good anime believe it or not.

That's not all I did, haha I watched Dream High, Loved the ending!
I watched que sera sera *but stopped watching after 10 episodes *I don't know it got old*
And I began watching Pasta, which is pretty good for a cooking show themed drama xD love the song, and I had to watch because of Alex, but he doesn't play a big part of the series \"


Last thing I did was to draw something random and this pic is what came out of the boredom I had. Pretty^^


Now I have to study for a test I have tomorrow, woho. And it's about art haha, *listening to la la la la lightless, B2st*  

Daily MV's: Kuwata Keisuke - Ginga no Hoshikuzu

I am currently watching a J-drama named Control, which is a police investigation series. The ending song is by Kuwata Keisuke.


This song is soo different and has a really nice sound. I Love how it starts, it's so magical and exciting and after those few seconds BAM Japanese Country music?!?? xD haha well it sounds just like a typical country song with that violin PLUS in the video he is imagining that he is at some kind of dinner party at a farm? haha with foreigners dressed up in old fancy clothes haha such a weird Music video (Love his cool voice I must add)


The funny part is that this song is for a detective serie. So the music video and the ending for the drama Control... well it's quite different, but hey the song goes well in both, strange huh. Well, just have to say that every control episode that ends.. they play this magical melody and after that a very nice filmed ending credits come up, with the country song. Haha listen and enjoy please.

Listend and I gotta say I love Tonight 8D Totally love it, really I've played it all day long today haha the other two songs are okay, Like cafe and What is right is not the best but still gets in your head, anyhow I love Big bang but, I thought it was going to be more of a big deal. Big Bangs coming back omg, with new songs wow the albums design is so cooool (yes seriously love the graphic designer that made the allbum <3) but three songs, and only one that blows my mind... I don't know, kinda expected more, because they had a cool countdown and cool teaser, hmmmm...

STILL Love BIG BANG, and I can't wait for the MV's to come out :D does anybody know when?

Valentines day

Happy Valentines day :D 

Okay I know I'm late with the post xD but on that day, I spended my day with Danijela, yay~ we were together on valentines day so we ate ice cream and were depressed, haha no but we watched this movie and ate ice cream xD 

It was very cheezy, I like that in a way, but it wasn't the best movie ever :P too many characters, very cliché but very adorable, maybe a little boring too. But it was perfect to watch on this day :D 

And today the 16th I had sort of a career day at School, about universities, work and about your economy, after that I had a time with a counseler at blueberry, now I know how much money I need to save up and what school I maybe will attend, I'm still looking into other companies of course. 

Blueberry Worldwide

So Today I went to Blueberry world wide fair. It was very interesting and got tons of information on studying Japanese in Japan. Of course there were lots of other schools from the whole world. But Japan is what I'm interested in^^ I went there with Timoti, and you got a free latte and a blueberry muffin from blueberry xD it was fun and I booked myself a time with a counseller, so I'm getting more excited about the future :D

Also met Danijela and Ivana there! Yay :D ~ and now I'm home eating dinner and watching movies with my dad and brother =D skyped mom for the last time because she will be coming hoem tomorrow from America!

Also right now I'm designing my school projects website, so be sure to check it out when it's done, I'ts getting better and better^^

High Kick through the roof

I'm so emotional right now. Nobody would ever believe me. Has it been a week?  No, I think it's only been a few days, maybe 5? Every day, it has been an addiction. I started watching a k-drama, that is over a hundred episodes long, not like me to follow such long series. But In a weird way it was addicting, not like my favorite k-dramas, Secret Garden, my GF is a gumiho, oh my lady etc.. not at all. More of a family comedy, and after a long time watching it, I fell in love with the son Jung hyuk and se kyung. They were so adorable.  I so wanted them to be together, it was confusing. But after changing my mind like 10 times about who I thought was going to end up with who,

((((( WARNING FROM HERE ON IT'S ONLY SPOILERS )))))

 I was sure about the doctor and Hwang jung eum, and if it was going to be my way se kyung would forget about the doctor after a while and go to jung hyuk, Time flies while watching tons of episodes, and I was beginning to realize that the episodes left were a few, and I still couldn't see se kyungs feelings. She is so hard to understand.

So back and forth I was getting excited and disappointed, will this turn out they way I want it to turn out? Back and forth, confusing. But at the end I guessed probably 5 ways how it could turn out, and there were a few ways I could accept: them not together, but still it would become  a "good ending" okay last episode...

From this great BIG idea how I wanted it to end, that BIG idea got smaller and smaller, and I could still accept it even if it turned out  with a LITTLE of the happiness I wanted to see. Basically I wanted Se kyung to find love and live happy, she deserves it more than any other character along with Jung hyuk, okay so the idea got smaller and smaller so just if I could see their daily life as usual go on??? Okay okay,, okay I can except it...

So se kyung, her dad and little sister are leaving for another country on the last ep. No I don't believe that. It will become very cliché that AT LEAST se kyung will change her mind at the airport and still live in Korea, no? Okay than AT LEAST that they will show  in the next clip (a few years later) Oh wait yay they are showing 3 years later...

Umm, okay Jung hyuk got longer hair and you get to see eum jung hwang ^^ and then the most SHOCKING lines in the whole series comes out from hwang, you see before the 3 years later sign came up you got to see doctor saying to se kyung that he will give a ride to the airport. Okay and then 3 years later omg what will happen, will she get over him and go to Jung hyuk :D there is still a small hope in my heart that I never will get rid of till..... those lines....

I seriously  got shivers and was still like a statue, I was so bewildered. with eyes wide open, cold, and the first idea that came in my mind was a car accident but I didn't want to think... just watch, just watch and see...

And then back to the car on the way to the airport. This scene was LOOOONG. Everything was said, se kyungs feeling came out, about him, about her situation and dream. And I'm a statue in shock, tears just keep coming. They speak slow, a conversation that feels like a million years long, am I listening to what they are saying, or waiting till something going to happen? I'm thinking, but yes I get everything she is saying.

So what do I get for the last Scene? For the (I want to swear but I don't) I get:

Se kyung:  I wish time could stop for  a moment, ( they both are in tears) he turns his head (I'm ready something's going to....)

Snapshot, in black n white.

WTF!? 

(Not even the usual ending music comes on, which has come on EVERY epsiode, no just SILENCE)

No my reaction didn't even come till the commercial that came after that was over. I was just still, didn't think or react on it. But the first words that came out of my mouth was ige bouya? (what is this in Korean) and then I started crying, It felt weird because I admit that I cry all the time while watching dramas, but this time it was like something happened to me. If I think about it.. it's like I'm a little kid that has been waiting eagerly to eat my b-day cake, I've been counting down days for it or something. But not only do I not get any cake but my whole life was just a dream and I woke up to reality in an alley, cold and poor.

This is a huge disappointment. It probably was the writers intention to make the audience shocked, sad and gossipy. But still, it was like a cruel experiment on humans, what would happen if you give them so much happiness that they will feel like their hearts are going to burst and then just take it away AND make it horrible, miserable. That is how I feel. Never ever  would I have thought this was going to happen.

It's such a long series, I'm not used to that first of all. And it's really really really really funny, I laughed so hard, and it's daily family matters, you get sad, you get aww, you get worried, excited, bored, annoyed and yeah pretty much everything you experience in life, they show. But this ending... I couldn't accept it, in one way it's a cool idea and you see how much emotions and how talkative I became after watching it. Still, why this series??? wei, wei, wei, weiiiii.

It must be Jung hyuk that is causing me to write this much and why I'm taking this disappointment so seriously. I really really really really liked his character and when I FINALLY understood that it wasn't meant to be with se kyung (which was really really really hard to accept) another bomb comes at me and KILLS two characters in the series, THOSE TWO CHARACTERS, how? how could you writers do this??? Se kyung, doctor (and of course jung hyuk) were my favorite characters, probably the most popular ones and you guys kill them? What's worse is that it's not even for sure that they got killed, you just stopped there for us to think what happened? But when it's obvious that they got killed!!!! That is just so mean, it's like someone tells you that someone close to you has passed away but without evidence, you never get to see the body, know why, how, when. That ending..... I think I'm going to cry again.

And you know what, I should have predicted something depressing happening. Everything was changing at the end. In na became famous, left the house and Kwang soo became very lonely, ahjumma left the house (okay she married and lived happy) but come oooooon, why forget Julien???????? ESPACIALLY now that we got to know he had a crush on se kyung, then hello??? let him confess?? Or something! They totally forgot him. What disappointed me also is that the dad, came only on the last ep? and then that sucky ending...

Now my addiction can finally end ( I thought when there was 3 eps left)

yeah It's over... But of all the series... I have a lot of series that I never finish, don't know why it just happens that I never watch the ending of them.... Would it have been better if this was one of them that I never would have finished...? 

Carina Joahnsson 2011-02-06 02.00am

Commnet tha I agree to 100%

I was in fact shocked with this ending and am one of the said pissed off fans. I really liked this sitcom and thought it was a really light and fun watch but then SUDDENLY they throw this curveball at us at the end and turn the happy, comedic, family sitcom into a melodrama.

They left all the wrong loose ends and focused the last couple episodes on the whole “boohoo-shes-leaving-korea-and-leaving-behind-an-admirer-and-first-love.” if I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have wasted over 2500 minutes on this.

Talking Clothes: Kawaii kanin cardigan

My Cardigan came in the post today :D yaaaay, I love it

It came from talkingclothes.se

Oh and I'm going to look up those stores, we have to go shopping again sometime^^

On my way home, I turned on my Ipod and the song that played could totally describe how I felt at that moment, in other words happy xD Love walking around listening to J-pop, such a great feeling. So here is the song.
Kana Nishino - Love is blind.

Daily MV's: Love Rain - Toshinobu Kubota

I love this melody and his Voice. I found this song randomly on youtube and saw that it is the soundtrack for tsuki no koibito, which I haven't seen, it looks good, I love Shota and Kimura so maybe I'll see that drama next ^^
This song gives out a kinda dance, funky, swinging, pop feeling. I really like it, we're Stuck in a love rain~
So Kubota made la la la love song :O I have that song! But not by him xD I have a remix by BoA and Soul'd out which I liked, but I think the original is even better :D check that song out yo.


The video is also really cool. Him standing on stage, his hair, and then all the comics, you kinda get like an old disco feel. And his afro goes so well with the song/video :D

Teriyaki chicken noodles

So you come home late, dead tired and STARVING, but cooking takes so much time and energy, so you just want to heat up some left overs, right?? Oh yeah I've felt that way a few times, but this is easy to make and it Seriously only takes like 5 MINUTES, so you see, all you need is:


Egg noodles, teriyaki sauce and some already done chicken that's usually used in sallads/pastasauce.


Cook the noodles.


defrost the chiken in a microwave


Noodles done? Take them out and put in your teriyaki and chicken in the pot, let it start boil, put in the noodles again, stir and tada you got yourself an easy and delicious meal. Yuuuummy


Of course you can make this an even nicer meal by adding vegtables aaand I don't know maybe salt, pepper, onion? Hope this will be useful for someone :D

Daily MV's: MBLAQ Cry

~Daily MV~
MBLAQ cry


Okay this song is really cool. Its very nice to listen to, It's a ballad with a lot of energy and the video is very boyband k-pop style. The artsistic dancing in water with fluffy clothes 8D very nice. 
Oh and normally I don't like guys in make up xD but I don't mind idols having to have it in their mv's and stuff, that's cool but sometimes ugly :P though in this video......... I love it 8D hoho well it was really well done with the blue glitter eye shadow and eye liner, it looks good okay :D and my favorite part is what I thought they were saying GO with your BLOW hahahah well something anyway Blow but it was bulleo in the lyrics xD Carina=fail haha but it's so powerful when they say that and CRY and you see fists, heavy rain, kicking..  it's just a very powerful song. Love it.

Daily MV's: Ring a ding dong

~Daily MV~

Kaela Kimura - Ring a ding dong

A song that will easily get stuck in your head, it mostly just goes ring a ding dong ring a ding ding dong.... on and on, the lyrics what I know does not make any sense xD but who cares when it's so adorable. Ring a ding.. what SHInee?? No totally different but can't help thinking that SHINee's ring ding dong is better xD it's just so cool, but still this song is great<3 and what I have heard is that this singer Kaela Kimura is getting married,,,, oh my, to actor Eita!!?? Waahh and she gave birth to their son :D wahh how nice^^ I really like Eita as an actor, done a lot of great dramas. So that is the song I discovered today :D

Bye~

Home Made Kazoku

Hi!


Recently I have really been listening to Home Made kazoku, a japanese hiphop group, First time I heard them was, quite a long time ago when I heard the song Thank you! From the anime Bleach, and I loved it<3 one of the best songs on bleach 8D
So I really love their songs, their style is totally feel good music, unique voices, really catchy and fun songs. I really have to smile while listening to them, and a few songs are just so cool :D

Suggestions ~


It's swinging with the song: Let it be
Summer fun, catchy definitely: Summer Time Magic
Different, kids also singing, adorable and beautiful: I wish


Oh small fun story:
I'm on the train, feeling down, tired and hungry, ;_; not really paying attention to the songs on my ipod, all the sudden I hear a child say: Daijobu da yo, see no.. you'll be alright! wow how I reacted xD perfect timing, yes a home made kazoku song: you'll be alright good to know if you ever feel down ^^  


I have to mention how fun I had watching anime and stuff with Ina and Moje, next time we'll see Gintama for sure ;D and I will soon start to read Hana kimi, it's a shame that I haven't read the manga ^^' even though it's like my favorite J-drama. Oh yeah and I have to see this anime before I forget<- on pic. Yamada nadeshiko shinchi henge. Loved the drama and I just gotta see the anime. About a girl that loves horror movies and stuff really gloomy and shy, and these bishounen dudes of course are going to try to make her become more feminine. Really funny, cute, adorable yadayada yes yes a shoujo, which I love <3 okay.

私は春に来てほしい

Yesterday I had dinner with everyone from my Japanese class :D それは　とてもたのしかったです、われわれはほんとにおいしかったらーめんをたべる。Yummy~
And today I haven't done much xD soon I'm back to work..　月ようび　私の母アメリカに行きます。

Now I'm listening to Arashi 8D and don't have much more to say~

Dream High, shigoto, tomodachi, onigiri

Today began wonderfully<3 because I saw that the first episode of Dream High (came out on DC) aaaand I knew I would like it xD I can't tell 100% if it's great and what it really is about, but I like the characters and the story seems interesting, what makes this one different is that it's about Kirin Art school (am I right?) and rich girl become poor girl but still got that spoiled attitude coolness. (haha Couple or trouble xD) yeah she is a little mean,,, a lot but she's cool 8D in a way. Haven't seen much of Kim Hyun Joong haha I thought he was in this drama xD but he's only a cameo and plays himself haha.

After that I had a meeting with the owners of this clothing store, that I'm going to make a website for. So when I was done there I got to meet my friends Danijela and Emelie :D and we ate PIE together xD very fun and nice talking to them <3 

Dream High= a KBS channel's korean drama. Shigoto= Japanese for work. Tomodachi=japanese for friends. Onigiri= Japanese rice ball.

When I came home I made rice balls :D I didn't have patients to make more faces because I was really hungry xD haha but hey they were good a least :P 

CAKE

Cake :D Happy Birthday Dad! So I have never made a cake before, ofc I have baked before, but no cake. And guess what,,,,,,, it was delicious 8D I will share the recipe ^^
Ingredients:

·         For sponge cake:
·         3/4 cup all purpose flour
·         2/3 cup sugar
·         1 Tbsp milk
·         3 eggs
·         1 1/2 Tbsp butter
·         For topping:
·         1 1/2 cups heavy cream
·         4 Tbsps sugar
·         Various fruits (strawberries, peaches, cherries, and so on) (I used only berries as you can see :P)

Preparation:

Whisk eggs in a bowl. Place the bowl over warm water in another large bowl and whisk further. Add sugar little by little. When the egg mixture becomes light yellow, sift flour and add to the bowl. Mix the flour lightly in the egg mixture. Mix butter in warm milk. Add mixture of melted butter and milk in the batter and stir gently. Preheat the oven in 350-degree F. Place baking wax papers inside of a round cake pan (18cm). Pour the batter in the pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool it on a rack. Cut the cake in half horizontally. Mix heavy cream and sugar in a bowl. Whip the cream well. Take the half of the whipped cream and mix with chopped fruits. Place the cream on top of a round cake slice. Place another cake slice on top of the cream. Spread the rest of the whipped cream on top and around the cake. Decorate the cake with colorful fruits and Christmas decorations.

Be sure to try it out!
