HI THERE, IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIFIC YOU'D LIKE TO READ?

My Last Supper

Do you say “dinner” or “supper”? I say “dinner” now but I realize that I use to say “supper” when I lived in Saskatchewan and so does everyone from there.

I grabbed this from Felisa’s blog (she has the best entries to steal :P ) because I think this is a great idea and ZOMG I LOVE FOOD.

Imagine that the world is about to come to an end tomorrow and you’ve said good bye to all your loved ones. As you sit on your bed about to sleep for the last time, a genie comes out of nowhere and tells you that he will prepare a feast for you. List everything you want to eat and he will give it to you. Your stomach will temporarily become bottomless and it will be like a buffet — you can eat as much as you want. There will be no guilt for anything. Time will stand still until you’re done eating. What will you want to have?

  1. Crab & Shrimp Topped Portobello Mushroom from The Boathouse Restaurant. It’s mine and Boyfriend’s favorite appetizer. EVER.
  2. Black bean chicken feet. When you go for dim sum, order some “fong-chao.” It’s feet but you won’t regret it. I LOVE FEET. You can call a chicken feet fetish if you’d like (actually don’t, that just sounds wrong). Twentyfourcarat.net is an unoffical endorser of black bean chicken feet.
  3. Peking duck wrap Peking duck wrap. This is one of my favorite dishes from Chinese restaurants. It’s basically a piece of a peking duck wrapped in the thin pancake with hoi-sin sauce and spring onions. So if your one of those people who think Chinese food consists of sweet and sour pork and kung-pao chicken… you guys are only eating our version of McDonalds which is pretty nasty in my opinion. Chinese people rarely eat “Chinese fast-food.” :P

    It’s like how I always thought Vietnamese people only ate pho and lemongrass chicken until I met boyfriend.

  4. Mom’s black bean spare ribs served with…
  5. Grandma’s My fried rice. My grandma taught me how to make it exactly like she does so I get to call it my own now. =P I also love grandma’s sticky rice.
  6. Steak Steak (it HAS to be medium rare or else it ruins your whole dinner) with a simple side of garlic mashed potatoes and veggies; mushrooms, zucchini and steamed brocolli. A nice and simple lobster tail would be nice too. [Picture from here.]
  7. Korean seafood pancakes from Jang Mo Jib. Is there another restaurant in Vancouver that makes it better? Let me know!
  8. Lemon meringue pie for dessert please.
  9. Orignally, I was going to add Red Lobster’s Cheese biscuits but I realize I need a drink too. It’d be a Chi-Chi because I love anything that tastes like pina-colda. A bottle of Gray Goose would be fine too because if the world was about to end, you might as well be having a little fun right?
  10. And RIGHT before the world ends, I want to be eating … DUNDUNDUN

    …POUTINE. Fresh, crunchy fries drizzled with LOTS of gravy and cheese curds— nothing fancy but it’s the ultimate comfort food… and it’s Canadian. Seriously, what’s Canadian anymore? Everything of ours have been sold to the US. “If I were a fry, my boyfriend would be gravy and I’d be cheating on him with the cheese curds.” I freaking love poutine… I think I have to say they are better than carne asada fries (sorry Californians!).

    Heaven
    Picture from here.

This list took me so long to write because you have no idea how hard it is to narrow it down to TEN food items. These are one of those entries where you have to cheat and do a “part 2″ later on.

What will be in your last supper? Remember guys, this is a very serious post because it is related to food AND the end of the world so think carefully. ;) And please remember to link Felisa.

I got muh hair did.

Katy I know I make fun of people who take washroom pictures of themselves all the time on Facebook but it was the best lighting in my house so don’t make fun of me! It’s not like I do it often anyway. :P

I decided to go all-over brown because anything else I wanted would’ve required bleach but I wanted all the old bleach to grow out first. My hair hasn’t been dark for 2 years… nor have I had bangs for 2 years so this will definitely need some time getting use to! I think it looks a lot better though because blond makes a lot of Asian complexions look really washed out. The thing with long brown hair (I’m wearing clip-on extensions) is that keeping it straight is boring so you have to curl it a little bit to make it look a little more dramatic and give it more volume. I’m a curl-virgin but my new curling iron arrived in the mail and I took advantage of last night to play with it and create some loose waves (I’m not a fan of tight spirals) and although it still needs some polishing it, I think it looks a lot better.

Ghetto!
Guess what this Asian ghetto-ness is? I was too cheap and lazy to buy a nice jar.

Mochi being a little brat again.

Blog Love

Sy
sydentherese.com – Sy is one of my new favorite bloggers. She’s an amazing writer and knows how to captivate readers with her entries and her fictional stories. I also absolutely LOVE her Polyvore Fiction on Fridays. She needs to write a book and I’d be her biggest fan! =P

Jen
injen.wordpress.com – When I go to Jen’s blog, I sometimes think it’s my own. Is it the traditional Blix WordPress theme that I’ve used countless times before and is still my favorite WP themes or is it that her blog entries and personality is similar to mine? I think it’s both!

Angel
thedemigoddess.blogspot.com – You know how they say first impressions count? Well it’s true when it comes to blogging because the first entry that caught my eye at Angel’s blog was this entry and now I’m a huge fan of the insights from THE Demigoddess.

 treslola.net
treslola.com – Lots of great lifestyle (and everything else) tips, advice and just interesting (and useful) entries in general. You can call Tres Lola “daily-therapy.â€?

Dayna
amourchaleur.com – Dayna’s blog is a mash of creativebeautifulcutecolorfulhappy. Of course her design is what caught my eye; her attention to detail is amazing! Everything is styled on her blog to match her theme from the the bullets to the borders of her images. Her text is formatted how I would think an ideal blog would be (especially the leading) and then on top of all that, I think her entries are a pleasure to read as well.

Confessions of a…

I started writing this a while ago but never finished it but then I saw Felisa’s entry… here goes:

  • I put on my headphones when I don’t want anybody talking to me. Sometimes I’m not listening to anything either.
  • On some of our lazy Sundays, Boyfriend and I would lie in bed all day and watch entire seasons of TV shows. We’d also make trips to Yaohan to grab some bubble tea and MSG-filled Chinese food to fatten ourselves up and get into the true couch-potato spirit.
  • The only reason I work out is so I can eat more and not become morbidly obese. I’m far from your typical hot-and-skinny bitch— I love feeling good physically yet I love my food even more. I could care less about my weight and I’m proud of my curves because I don’t think being super skinny, as flat as a board with no T&A is not attractive at all.
  • I love reading articles on Wikipedia (despite the question of authenticity) especially on European royalty and religious history.
  • My biggest fear in life is failing.
  • I use to sit in the back of my 8am Photoshop class so I could sleep. It totally wasn’t worth waking up early and bussing downtown for stuff I taught myself when I was 13. Poo.
  • I got really good grades in highschool without trying at all but if I were to go back to school now, I don’t think I would pass.
  • During art school, I use to buy a box of cookies and eat it all by myself. My classmates use to sip on those huge boxes of Tropicana orange juice and finish it in one class. The 7-11 across the street was our kitchen cupboard despite all the restaurants and cute little cafes everywhere you turn but I swear, Adobe makes you crave junk food! HMMM. So that’s where that extra 20lbs came from.
  • I was talking to a friend earlier about spending a week at a ranch this summer but it would cost over $1200 and she said she’d rather go to Cancun. A couple of years ago, I would’ve said the same thing and now, call me crazy but I’d rather spend a week on a ranch and ride horses all day in our beautiful province surrounded by the Rocky Mountains than go to a beach in Mexico (although I’d still go— if it was free) and besides, I’ve always wanted to be a cowgirl! It’s funny how I’ve changed over the years. Luckily, Boyfriend has no choice but to go with me this summer because my mind is set on it and I’m sure he’ll be okay since there’s a 18-hole golf course nearby.

Rules

Charice Pempengco

I haven’t really been into the music scene ever since those days when my girlfriends and I would each pick a Backstreet Boy to be and record ourselves performing Backstreet’s Back but I recently discovered the most talented singer in the world (IN THE WORLD!!): Charice Pempengco!

You’ve probably heard of her before but l always discover things like this at least a year too late. I’ve only written about music twice in this blog and so she HAS to be good if I’m writing about music again (not that I have anything against music but it’s usually nothing interesting to blog about). Read on…

She’s Filipino, she’s only 16 yet her voice is freaking powerful and amazing… where the hell does it come from?! She’s so tiny! Amazing. She was discovered on Youtube and introduced to America by Ellen, she’s been praised by Oprah, she’s being produced by David Foster and she performed at Obama’s Pre-Inauguration Concert; I swear this girl is going to be the WhitneyMariahCelineHoustonCareyDion of this generation. I was reading comments on an article and someone wrote, “If she was a drug, I would be in rehab for the rest of my life.” WELL, SAME HERE.

You know how every up-and-coming singer performs “I Will Survive” on every talent show? Well this is probably the BEST version I’ve ever heard.

Sigh. I. Am. So. Amazed.

I seriously wish the best for this girl and I can’t wait to see where her voice will take her!
