"Dip Die"
Afternoon,
I decided to do my hair before the schooling started up again. I had a bit of trouble bleaching my hair so after I attempted I asked Dory for help. Wore a trash bag so my shirt wouldn't get ruined. Isn't it a great look?
I have never bleached this much of my hair before so I found it odd to see so much orangey brown hair. Took me hours to complete the whole process, but I think it paid off. Hard to tell, but my hair is now black with purple and teal!
Got new clothes over break like em? The shoes I thought would be more comfy than regular flats, which they are, but I still ended up with a blister on my left ankle. Guess I am wearing my slippers to class tonight!

Secret Santa . . . Or NOT!
Morning again,
Soooo before the break we, Sarah, Biggie, Dory, Bob, Leel, and I drew names for Secret Santa. Leel and Biggie thought they had it all figured out, but PSYCH y'all got tricked! Dory switched with Leel. Dory had me, Bob had Dory, I had Sarah, Sarah had Bob, so if you figure that out, Leel and Biggie had each other. Don't our four gifts look festive(ish)?
I can say that we all are happy with our gifts. I got those yummy chocolate balls called Ferrero Rocher. Who else eats them in layers? Wait, nobody else? *slowly lower my hand* The necklace I gave Sarah was so spot on. So Sarah!
Well I am going to hit the sack, hopefully my shoulders don't hurt as bad when I get up. Must face more classes tomorrow O.O

Pieology!
Hi friends,
On January 2nd SJ and I decided to go to Pieology. Well before that I had to go to see the doctor. I still have my cough that started around my Sick vs Allergies blog post. I really truly enjoyed going to the doctor. The nurse was very nice and we had a lovely conversation about how teens want gift cards instead of actual items. Told her we like em better because they are easy to put away lol and we can choose what and when we want to buy with them! Then I saw the doctor and she was so down to Earth, or Earf as Sarah would say. We just sat there and talked about random things. She told me how I should build up my immunity too. Oh and I forgot to mention that the receptionist gave me one of those blue masks with the elastic because I was coughing lol
So then I got home and SJ and I went out to eat at Pieology in Chino. The line was out the door! I mean we did go at prime dinner time plus it is still kind of new. We waited in line and read some of the quotes on the wall. It took me so long to figure out what I wanted on my pizza! Finally decided on mozzarella, parmesan, pepperoni, pineapple, tomato, and bacon! I don't remember exactly, but SJ got jalepenos, tomato, parmesan, mozzarella, etc. The lady over loaded on the mozzarella!! I hate when pizza has too much cheese. I just don't like it . . . Then when I asked her to put parmesan on she put like a little tiny sprinkle. You guys know how much parmesan cheese I usually put, so I asked for more. She did another little sprinkle and I nodded for her to add more. I had to nod like four more times lol Then when SJ asked for parmesan she asked if he wanted extra extra parmesan cheese too. I can't help my love for parmesan cheese!!
Doesn't that look yummyful? Of course after taking the pix I added a whole bunch of parmesan cheese!! No shame you guys! I ate a little more than half too! Oh while we waited outside for our pizza to be done I spotted a sign in a window that said boba! So SJ asked if I wanted boba. Of course I said yes! He paid for our boba and I paid for pizza. I got my usual mango boba and he got milk tea kind. I am not fond of milk tea kind, but I always seem to take a few sips of his. It's like how Tom and Hannah always get their different cakes but then end up stealing the other's (talking bout Made of Honor).
To finish off the day we made key lime pie! He let me do the zesting. The smell got to me a bit though. Made me cough more than I already was! I had fun though. Maybe I just enjoy making foods! This is the final result. The pie crust was a bit large so the filling doesn't go super high, but that's fine because I like having extra crust to offset the filling.
PS I wanted to upload a video but the lovely wifi here is preventing that from happening!

Sleepover At G&G's
Morning,
This is many days late, but my brother and I slept over at our grandparent's house! We used to do it more often when we were younger. My brother and my grandpa golfed both days while my grandma cooked dinner while I kept her company in the kitchen. You know how grandparents like to feed their grandchildren? Well my grandma is that type. She is always asking if we have had enough to eat, and will try to feed us more when we say we are full!
The first night my grandma made Captain Crunch chicken, one of our favorites! Didn't take a picture, but she made the chicken, asparagus, salad, sweet beans, etc. Second night my grandma made salmon teryaki, broccoli, asparagus, salad, sweet beans, and musubi. Guess who made that beautifully shaped musubi on the plate! I couldn't believe mine came out looking like that. What you guys don't know is that by the time I was almost done making my one musubi, my grandma had made two and a half.
My brother and I played a game of Scrabble. More like we played our own game of Scrabble! If you know me, you will know that my vocabulary word bank isn't that impressive. So games like Scrabble are challenging for me. Don't really like to play this game, but my brother said we could make up words, but that was toward the end of the game. We spelled words to make them sound like real words. For example, "EZ" is easy, "ROF" is rough, "ALLBO" can be elbow, etc. My brother spelled "POXT" and claimed it worked because when you get the chicken pox you have been poxt lol don't ask me where he learns these things. My grandma came over and after a quick glance told us we were doing it wrong. She asked us what "MII" meant. My brother pointed at the wii and said it's the people on the wii! >.< My brother and I can be so silly at times!
In the morning we all went to Carrow's to grab some grub. I am not a huge breakfast fan, but look at what I got! Bacon, egg whites, potatoes, and a blueberry muffin! I ate everything but half the muffin and half the eggs. See the pancakes in the corner? Those were my brother's and guess who ate half of one of those big pancakes! Hard to believe, but yes I did! I think breakfast potatoes are one of my favorite foods. They have to be a little crisp though and seasoned well. I may even choose em over bacon :O ikr??
We had a blast at our grandparent's house. Hopefully we get to do it again in the near future!

New Year's Day
Evening,
Do you guys have traditions for New Year's day? My family usually goes to my grandparent's house for the whole day. My grandma cooks all sorts of yummy foods for us! This is some of the foods she had ready for us when we arrived. I ate sweet chestnut paste, egg, fancy kamaboko, red bean and green tea yokan, special triangle shaped spam musubi, what I think was sweet egg, and sticky potato! It's not shown in the picture, but I had like six spam musubi. They were just so yummy!
My family eats the traditional soup with mochi, but being the picky eater I am, I just eat the mochi. My aunt toasts me mochi every year! It would be plain on its own so I dip it in soy sauce and sugar. Usually the mochi is still in its perfect stone shape, but I requested extra toasty kind. This is the result. Don't they look like huge popcorns?!? They were actually hollow inside too! So delightfully delicious! Guess this is my tradition!
While things die down at the house me, my two aunts, cousin, and mom headed off to the mall. Got some more leggings and long sleeve shirts. Something about adding long sleeve shirts to my wardrobe makes me so proud! Grandma told us to be back by dinner which was at 6. We lost track of time at the mall and ended up leaving shortly after 5:30! Got back in time for dinner though. Everyone, but me of course, ate sukiyaki for dinner. I honestly don't know what I eat for dinner every New Year's. My grandma was worried I wouldn't have food for dinner, but I told her not to make me anything special because she already had enough to do. I told her I would find something to eat. Oh yea, for those of you that aren't familiar with sukiyaki, it is photographed above. Consists of noodles, meat, tofu, mushrooms, veggies, etc.
I grabbed some of the cold noodles and tofu for dinner. Before we left in the morning to get to their house I got an Uncrustable from the freezer thinking I would eat it on the way. Glad I grabbed it because it was part of my dinner! I also had different types of tsukemono. The purple and yellow tsukemono were from the store, but the cucumber one was homemade! My grandpa doesn't help with any of the cooking so he sounded very proud to tell me how he cut the cucumber for my grandma to marinade lol Had gohan to accompany my tsukemono. (Pssst gohan is rice!) One more piece of fancy kamaboko, and one homemade "football." (I don't remember the real name, but my sister knows exactly what I am talking about!)
Every year my aunt buys beautiful manju for us to indulge in. Aren't they prettyful?? I had the pink flower maju. It is very hard to describe what it was, but I can say there was anko (red bean) inside! You see that there are two of them right? Well there were leftovers so my aunt let me take the other flower too!!
I could feel my mouth watering from looking at all the food pictures! Can't wait till next New Year's!!

New Year's Eve
Hi there,
So we seemed to have jumped from Christmas right to New Year huh? This NYE was different than the previous ones. Usually my family stays home or goes to see a movie, orders in food, and watches the ball drop. My brother went to his girlfriend's house, my dad worked, mom stayed home with the doggie, and I went to see VW then SJ later in the evening.
College just makes the holidays feel so different. To be honest NYE felt like any other day to me. Nothing special. Tell me about what you guys did in the comments! Maybe it was more festive than my NYE.
